LEAK V. HUTTON, ESQ., AND OTHERS.

This was an action of assault and false imprison-
ment brought by the plaintiff, who was formerly an
innkeeper at Sutterby, against the defendants, as
commissioners of bankrupt. In the beginning of
1824, the plaintiff, having lain in prison for upwards
cf two months, was declared a bankrupt, and having
been examined before the defendants, he refused to
sign his examination, neither were his answers satis-
factory to the commissioners. They therefore com-
mitted him to Lincoln Castle on the 10th of Feb.
1624, where he remained until March, 1829, when,
on application to the Court of King's Bench,
their Lordships decided that the warrant of
commitment was illegal, as it ordered the bankrupt
to be detained in custody until lie signed his exa-
tnination, and satisfactorily answered certain ques-
tions, without statit°r that he had so answered them.
An application had been previously made to the
Court of Exchequer on the subject, which was re-
fused, the Learned Barons being divided in their
opinions. In consequence of the decision in the
Court cf King's Bench, the bankrupt was brought
before Lord Chief Justice Best, at the Lincoln
spring assizes, when his Lordship ordered him to be
discharged. His attorney's bill for procuring his
discharge, and attending the several applications re-
lating to it, amounted to 771.; and whilst in prison
the plaintiff had been placed for ten months, by
order of the visiting Magistrates, amongst the felons,
and afterwards placed iu solitary confinement.
On the part of the defendants, it was admitted
that the warrant was, in strictness of law, illegal, in
consequence of the accidental omission of a few
words, and that therefore there must be a verdict
against them.
Lord TESTERDEN having summed up the case,
the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages 50/.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.-The Sugar market had a heavy appearance
last week, and although several large holders have with-
drawn their imports from sale in the anticipation of better
prices, yet the remaining holders were so anxious to effect
sales, that they gave the turn of the market as to price in
faecal. of the buyer where they could clear off large parcels,
which gave the appearance of a gradual decline in prices;
the estimated sales were in consequence rather more than
usual, being about 3,200 bhds. and trs. The deliveries
last week were more extensive than could have bees anti-
cipated. At the close of the market the estimated sales this
day were 1,000 hilds. and trs., including the Barbadoes
public sale. The fine Sugars are rather higher. Total
delivery of Sugar last week from the three Docks 3,858
bhds. and trs., 10,436 bage. In the Refined market there
was no alteration last week in the prices, but the request
far low Goods for Hamburg, &c., considerably improved,
and nearly all the stock here was disposed of. The pur-
chases of Fine Goods for home consumption were on a very
confined scale, but apparently also improving. Crushed
Sugar was also inquired after. Molasses were without
variation. The Refined market this afternoon appears to
be more firm ; there is more business doing, but no altera-
tion in prices. .
Foartmx SUGAR.-By public sale last week about 560
Ovate and boxes of Brazil Sugars were brought forward,
about a half Pernambuco, the remainder Bahia; the former

sold 19. a 221. The purchases of Havannah Sugars were
200 chests, gnu white 48s„ a parcel good yellow at 205.,
100 chests fine brown and fair yellow at 295.
EasT Irrupt Su an na—There were no East India Sugars
offered at public sales after Tuesday last, but the Mauritius

consumption, at a small premium on sale prices. In other
East India Sugars there were no purchases worth reporting.
Civre.E.--,There were again very extensive transactions
in Coffee last week, about 3,200 bags Brasil ; the great

continue firm, and rather improving; Hemp is a shade
highpr ; Flax unvaried.
Rua!, BRANDY, AND TIOLT.ANDS. —The Rum Market
has a more steady appearance, the holders generally refrain.
ing from forcing sales at the late reduction in prices. It is
Feportpd there are considerable export orders, but the
Layers look to the ponsiderahle and rather accumulating
stecks, and do not purchase. 'The sales last weei are
limited ; a few . proofs at Is. 9}1., 4 over Is. 19d., and
several parcels of proofs free on board at ls. I Id. Brandy
and Geneva continue neglected.

I!.rntcw.—There is little alteration in the prices of In-
digo since the E-44 Trtgia E.:ale; the purchases of small
parcels for export appear rather increasing, Gut the trade
has been interrupted by the sale at Liverpool,Which is not
vet completed ; it had continued for two days, and goes
off about the Jodi House prices.
HOPS.—The duty last week advaoeed from.. 35,0e01. to
38,000/, and yesterday again- fell to 36,0001. The ac-
counts froth the Hop districts continue very unfavourable ;
the plant is g,:tthig black, and, as the vermin continue to
follow the new shoots, neither a top nor a bottput crop is
anticipated ; the prices of the best Hops about O. a 6L 68.
