Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said be should consult his
brother Patterson on the subject.

THE QUEEN V. GRIFFITHS.

Mr. EDWARDS moved for an order to cause Jones, the
gaoler of the town of Haverfordwest, to deliver up the
sum of 201., taken from the person of a prisoner named
Griffiths, under the fAlowing circumstances:—lt ap-
peared that, in 1829, Griffiths had rented two farms from
a Mrs. Foley, and some time after, he being indebted to
Messrs. Biddoes, the bankers, and being afraid of their
putting in an execution upon his farm and stock,
communicated with Mr. Harvey, the agent to
Mrs. Foley, who re,!moinended that he himself should
put in a prior execution, and that a sham distress should
afterwards take place, and the goods thus be held secure
until the bankers were paid. All this was done, and
Griffiths, having afterwards settled with the Messrs.
Biddoes, continued upon the farm till August of last
year, when being apprehensive of a distress at the in-
stance of Harvey, he drove some cattle off the farm,
leaving behind, however, enough for the purposes of the
distress. On the 9th September, he was carried before
a magistrate on a charge of stealing, and afterwards
remanded. On entering the prison, he was, as
usual with all prisoners, searched by the gaoler,
and this 201. taken from him by the ga,,ler.
Griffiths was afterwards bailed out, but on mak-
ing application for his 201., Mr. Jones refused to re-
turn the money without an order from the Court of
Queen's Bench. That money was now required for his
defence.

Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—I cannot interfere. Let an
application be made to the Judge on Circuit, and he will,
if the money is not connected with the charge, order it
to be returned for the purposes of the defence.

BREAM' OF PROMISE-RUSSELL v. CLEMENTS.

Mr. Sergeant Shee appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr.
Sergeant Talfourd for the defendant.
The parties, in this case, are both in rather a humble
condition, but, notwithstanding, the crowded state of the
Court indicated that the cause had excited much interest.
The assemblage were, however, evidently disappointed
when it was announced to the Court by the Learned
Sergeants that it had been agreed on both sides that
plaintiff should take a verdict for 451.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court disposed of several motions inv( dying points
of practice, and of no interest to any one except the
parties concerned.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXC HAN GE-FRIDAY.

Since Monday large arrivals of English Wheat have
taken place, chiefly from Lincolnshire. The show of
samples of Wheat of home produce was extensive,
owing to which, the demand for that article was exceed-
ingly dull, at barely Monday's prices. In Foreign
Wheat we heard of no sales worthy of notice. The de-
mand for Barley was very limited, and only the finest
qualities were purchased, at Monday's quotations. Malt
was very difficult to sell, yet previous rates were sup-
ported. The supply of Oats was again large, and a de-
cline of 6d per quarter was submitted to by the factors.
In other articles, no alteration.

Although the supply of Beasts offering to-day was but
limited, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at a
depression of quite 2d. per Blbs. We had on sale twelve
Beasts and thirty Sheep from Holland, in very middling
condition. For Sheep, the numbers of which were small,
the inquiry was somewhat active, at fully Monday's
quotations. Prime small Calves sold readily at an ad-
vance of 2d per 81bs Other qualities of Veal were
quite as dear. The Pork trade was active, at higher
rates. Milch Cows sold at 16/. to 191. each.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
THE QUEEN AGAINST THE INHABITANTS OF SEVENOAKS.
Mr. WATsoN moved for a rule to quash a writ of cer-
tiorari, issued in this prosecution some time ago, on the
ground that the materials were insufficient. The affi-
davit necessary for the purposes of his motion showed that
notice of the intended application had been given to two
of the justices to bring up the order of session. The
affidavit showed that notice had been served on two
justices of the county then present at quarter sessions.
lie submitted, therefore, that the materials were insuffi-
cient, on two grounds; first, because the affidavit merely
showed that service had been issued on two justices
at quarter session ; and, secondly, the person
serving was not properly described and stated.
These points were fully argued before Mr.
Justice Matteson during last term. His Lordship
took time to consider, and in about a week after he pro-
nounced judgment, and decided that on the first point
such notice was insufficient ; and he seemed to think
the second a very grave question also, but forbore ex•
pressing an opinion on it.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS —What case was that?

Mr. WATSON—The Queen and the Inhabitants of
Darton.
