SI:GAIL—The delivery of Sugar fr int the West India
Docks last week was about 2,700 casks for home con-
sumption, leaving a stock 0f36,499 hhds. and 2;538 tres.
The delivery of Mauritius Sugars was limited list week,
and the stock in the West India Docks is not above 28,600
bags. In the Sugar Market this morning there is not
much doing, and prices are yet nominal, as regards Bri-
tish Plantation, Foreign, and Refined Sugars. The same
observation will apply to Coffee. There are very few
public sales of Colonial produce announced for this week.
Rust.—The quantity of Ruin taken out of the West
India Docks last week was smaller than for many weeks
paq, not exceeding 573 puncheons and 106 hhds., of
which about 400 puncheons were for home use, and the
Stock is about 23,000 punebsons and 1,770 hits. The
trade is flat.

of 52 hlids. of Vrainitts for the Irish market, at from d.

the Stock is 40,520 casks. The accounts from Cronstadt
hold out little hive al the British vessels locked in by the
ice on time 28th ult. being able to get away. It WAS
expected that a meeting of the Russian merchants would be
held to petition Government to allow the import goods to
be sent up the Winter roads as soon as they were formed,
by which considerable delay would he saved.
SILK.—The Market continues flat. Th. stock of sold
and unsok) Silk in the Corupany's warehouses amount to
nearly 17,000 bales.

IN-Dzco.—Further declarations have been made by the
Company for the February sale, which is now expected to
amount to 6,000 chests.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

FRASER'S COOKING HEA KTII..—BRESTON V. FORD.
The SOLICITOR -GENERAL moved for an injunction to
restrain the defendant from continuing to infringe on the
patent rights of the plaintiff in making a ship's caboose or
hearth, known by the name of Fraser's Cooking Hearth.
The plaintiff has for the last seven or eight years been in
possession of a patent for making this caboose or hearth,
which is considered by ship masters to be a great• im-
provement upon the hearths that formerly were in use.
By this hearth all culinary purposes can he executed
at one and the same moment with one fire, whereas
to accomplish this, by the old hearths, it was re-
quisite to have two fires. On an application being
made to the Vice-Chancellor ex-parte, he granted
an injunction, but afterwards dissolved it on the ap-
pearance of the defendant. The present motion was to
have that injunction restored. The defendant had made
a hearth in all respects on the same principle, he had put
the flue at the side, instead of the !sack, as it was in
the plaintiff's apparatus, which was alleged only to be
for the purpose cf evading the appearance of piracy.
The plaintiff had much difficulty in purchasing one of the
defendant's hearths ; he had to resort to the stratagem of
employing a gentleman, in the character of a ship master,
to purchase it ; to get it sent to Edinburgh ; to get it
it returned again to London, and then to get it conveyed to
his (the plaintiff's) premises. On examining it, it was
sworn to be on precisely the same principle. Besides the
flue being differently situated, there was also an additional
opening in the defendant's for the admission of coals. The
defendant had for a long time been employed by the plain-
tiff to make parts of the plaintiff's apparatus, and it was
not until after lie had been discontinued to be thus em-
ployed, that be bad began to snake and sell the hearths on
his own account.

The defence set up to the application for the injunction
wes, that the plaintiff's principle was not new; that if it
were new, the patent only extended to one subject, whereas
the plaintiff had applied it to two (by adding the condensed
apparatus, but which the plaintiff contended did not
affect the patent at all, it being in a manner separate from
the hearth); and next, that his apparatus was different to
the plaintiff's. The Vice-Chancellor, in dissolving the
injunction, conceived also that the plaintiff had not fully
hi ought forward his case on his affidavits in the first in-
stance.

The case was proceeding at length when we left the
Court.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
TORS V. FRY.

His Ho Noun gave judgment, this morning, in this case,
which related to a claim of 60,0001. by the plaintiff,
against the estate of Mr. Fry, the banker; upon the hear-
ing of the case certain references were made to the
Master, who reported against the claim, exceptions were
taken to that report, and the case now stood for judgment
upon these exceptions. His Honour had been attended
by the parties in his private room, and after a careful ex •
amination of the books, and the material facts, in the case,
the Curt was clearly of opinion that all the exceptions
must be overruled, and in this was a case as little to be
favoured as any that ever came into a Court of Equity, his
Honour felt himself bound to overrule the exceptions, with
costs.

TUNSTALL V. TRAMS.
The Court then proceeded with this pirt-heard case,
which had not concluded when we left.

ROLLS' COURT.
The MASTER of the Rotrz took causes to-day, but
nothing of importance, except to the parties, came before
the Court when we left.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
NEWMAN V. SMITH.
Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that this was an action
to recover compensation in damages for an illegal distress
made by the defendant upon the plaintiff. The facts ap-
peared to be as follows.

The plaintiff rented a house in Goswell-street, and at
Michaelmag, 1828, owed about 371. The plaintiff gave a
bill of exchange for the amount which the latter received
without prejudice to his claim, and right to distrain on the
plaintiff's goods if the bill was not paid. The bill was dis-
honoured, and the defendant put a distress into the house.
The defendant being absent at that time, his daughter,
a straw-bonnet maker, occupied the premises, and repre-
senting that her father had taken away all the furniture
that belonged to him, and that all the furniture then in
the house belonged to her, and after a consultation with
her father, it was agreed to give up the fixtures, on being
allowed to take away her goods and stock. This was agreed
to, but the father aft•rwards brought this action, for the
defendant having made the distress after haying been paid
by the bill.

The question for the Jury was, whether the plaintifrs or
the defendant's witnesses were most entitled to credit.
They found a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
SAULL AND ANOTHER V. HARRISON.

This case, which is an action of trover of not the lea4t
public interest, occupied the Court up to the time our
Reporter left.

There was a sporting hunt at Killulla, county
Clare, last Tuesday; but the most extraordinary feature in
the day's amusement was towards the wind up, when the
buck, bird pressed by the hounds and horses, made right
for Mogulline-house, the residence of the late Bishop
' O'SuaUGIINESSY, where a sumptuous repast was laid nut
for the members of the hunt by the present hospitable oc-
cupier, Mr. FaANcts ihrm,y. The noble animal dashed
headforemost into the very. room, carrying on his wide-
spreading antlers the double window-frame, all the panes
being shivered to atoms in the lea;,. Tables, dishes,
glasses, and decanters, were upset in glorious disorder, and
in an instant all became a total wreck. The author of
this unexpected calamity was taken in a corner of the
parlour crouching before his enemies, and looking with
surprise at the destruction he had affected.—Limerick

COMMISSION. OF LUNACY.
(SECOND DAY.)

This morning, precisely at eleven o'clock, the further in-
quiry in the case of Mr. Edward Davis arts resumed at the
Grey's lon Cofilv-hosse. Tire interest excited by the pre-
sent investigation appears to he on the increase, for th,
room was much more crowded than on the preceding day.
P. AL Latham, Esq. called and examined by Mr. WeICIiT
—I am a doctor ; saw Mr. E. Davis on the 28th of July ;
Mr. Davis stated that he called to obtain my protection,
and produced a pamphlet from his pocket, which latoved
to be an account of the inquiry in the case of Lord Porte-
month, lie said he liked my looks, and begged that he
might be allowed to fasten the door and shut down the
windows, being fearful that he should be overheard, as he
had a tale of horror to relate. After acting with consider..
able eccentricity, he told the that his mother had informed
him that one of his relations (he believed an uncle) had
been insane. He told me he had been under the care of
Drs. Lawrence and Burrows, and that Dr. Burrows
thought he was insane, and wished to put him in confine-
ment. He stayed about an hour, and conversed upon va-
rious topics.
At this part of the examination Mr. BROUGHAM rose,
and objected to the mode in which Mr. Wright was con-
ducting his examination. This produced a reply, and
ultimately a squabb!e,'which lasted a few minuses, and
the examination was then resumed :—He did not quote
the particular styles of literature in which he was skilled,
but quoted largely from Byron and Shak•peare, in a very
spouting and theatrical manner. He (witness) could not
take upon him to say whether the passages given by Mr.
Davis were correctly given, as he was not sufficiently ac-
quainted with them. Before going away, he extracted
a promise from him (Dr. Latham) that he would call
on him the following day ; and, previous to his departure,
asked him, several times, if he thought be was like a mad-
man ? Just as he was going he said, in reference to his
promise of calling on him on the following day, "If you
fail, dread the revenge of a madman, for I carry loaded
pistols about me." These were his precise words. He
did not exhibit the pistols, nor was he aware that he hail
any about him.

lie had a strong impression on his mind that he was
insane, and the interview that he had with him on the
following day (the 29th of July) confirmed this opinion.
Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM.-The interview
on the 28th lasted one hour, and that of the 29th about
half an hour. The expressions of "If you fail," &c.
were followed by loud laughter on the part of Mr. Davis.
Ile might have said that the result of his interviews with
Mr. Davis was the apprehension of possible insanity.—
He would not say that the precise words of Mr. Davis
were, that Dr. Burrows wanted to put him into a mad-
house, but he inferred that:it was his meaning.
George Griffith examined by Sir C. WITIIERELL—
Was a clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Rankin, and
had known Mr. Davis about eight years. He had fre-
quently dined at his house in Philpot-lane, in Company
with him, his mother, and sisters, and bad always seen
the two latter treat him with the greatest kindness. He
never complained to him, witness, of being ill treated.
On one occasion, when Mr. Davis called on him, and on
his asking why he did not call oftener, he replied, that
it was beneath the dignity of a citizen to visit any man in
furnished apartments. He then complained of being ill,
and pointing to his head, said it's all here; he had, he
said, consulted many medical men, and asked them if he
was hurt on his head why tkey did not apply ice to it. On
another occasion, when Mr. D. called on him at the
banking-house,and asked him to call at his country house,say-
ing, that he would give him the address. He then desired
witness to get a slip of paper, and write down " Alderman
Davis." He also pulled out a pistol from his breast pocket,
saying, " By —, you shall see what I have got here."
This much alarmed witness; and his manner altogether
was such as to leave a strong impression on his mind that
he was insane.

Henry Fu;ford, a tea•bruker—At a tea sale, at the Easi
India House observed very peculiar conduct exhibited,bolr.
Davies.

The examination of this gentleman was proceedi❑g
when our Reporter left.
