LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY):

HOUSE OF LORDS.
CIIRICIff9N V. C RIERSON.

Sir Jaws AIONCRIEFF wa.s beard at great length on
behalf of the appellant in this case, which is an appeal from
a decision of the Court of Session in Scotland.—The ques-
tion was not of any public interest.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
The LORD CHIEF BARON Wag engaged during the day
with the trial of a Revenue case, which was totally devoid
of interest.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
BIRT V. ROBERTS.

This was an action for false imprisonment, and it erase
out of the following circumstances was arrested at
Exeter for 1001., and the defendant became one of his,
bail to the Sheriff. The plaintiff, before the return of the
writ, came to London, and was soon after followed by his fa-
mily'. The defendant, apprehensive that he would not appear
to the writ when returnable, came to London, and took him
into custody. This was the imprisonment complained of.
The plaintiff applied to the Lord Chief Justice and to Mr.
Justice Littledale to be liberated, on the ground that the
bail had no right to take him into custody before the return
of the writ,, but their Lordships refused to interfere. Mr.
Justice llolroyd, however, adopted a different course, and
'liberated the plaintiff, though not until after he had con-
sulted with the other Judges. The plaintiff then brought
his action against the bail. It was now held by Lord
Tenterden, that when once the writ is returned into Court,
and the bail afterwards put in, that bail may render the
prisoner at any time they please, but that bail upon a bond
to the Sheriff, have no such power, and the plaintiff was
therefore entitled to a verdict.

The Jury found for the plaintiff—One lathing damages.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
There was nothing of the slightest interest in this Court
this morning.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwKLrK O'CLOCK.
The English Funds are more than usually deficient in
interest to-day ; few transactions have taken place, and the
price of Consols has been quite stationary nearly the Whole
of the morning, at 851 -a. A broker supplied the Commis-
sioners to-day with Reduced at 134 i, equal to 8:.4 in Con-
sols; the price for the latter is now 85 India Bonds
remain at 98 9 pin. ; Exchequer Bills, 63 1..
The Foreign Funds are equally devoid of business, and the
only bargains that have been doing have been confined toßus-
sian and. Portuguese Bonds, in both of which there has been
an attempt made to puff them up, but it did not succeed to
any extent, the former being .891 the fatter 52.4
With respect to Portuguese there is a current report in the
City that the consequences of the present eventful state of
affairs has already produced in some parts of the kingdom a
degree of ferment approaching to civil war ; and it has
been mentioned that a riot, attended with bloodshed, had
already taken place at Oporto, on the 10th inst. between
the military in garrison in that town, and the
populace, which latter espoused the part of the absolute
fiction. Mexican Bonds are 39. Peruvian have not sus-
tained the advance, and are again 26, it having been found
that there was no real intelligence which authorised the
rise, 'Colombian are quoted at 24 to 25, and Brazilian
5914.
. The Share Market is without any novelty. The accounts
by the packet from Mexico, are, however, such as to justify
a reduction in the value of United Mexican, which have
fallen to 24.3 dis. There is a rumour of another call being
wanted on Thalpurahua; the truth is, the agents for these
speculations are all generally drawing on their respective
Companies, and the returns are not forthcoming to meet the
outlay, setting aside any profit.
