MARTYR.

This important case came on for hearing this morn-
ing, on a motion for spacial costs, the parish having
given the appellants notice that it was not their intention
to contest the rate, and that consequently the names of
all the appellants would be struck out of the rate-book.
Mr. Watson, Q. C., Mr. Wolfinger, and Mr. Locke
appeared for the appellants ; and Mr. Montagu Cham-
bers, with Mr. Knapp, for the respondents.
Mr. WATSON contended that the overseers could not
legally amend the rate by striking out the names of the
appellant; ; and the parish officers, having thought
proper to abandon the rate as not legally made, they
were compelled to pay the costs of the application.
Mr. ClumnEns, on the part of the respondents, spoke
at great length.
The BENCII said that they would retire before they
gay e their decision.
The CHAIRMAN, on the retur❑ of the magistrates into
Court, announced that the Bench were unanimous in
their opinion, which was, that the application for costs
must be referred, unless the appellants had made out a
special case, which they had failed to do. The Court
considered that the parish were justified in refusing to
defend their appeal if they so thought, and that they
evidently possessed the power to amend the rate by
striking out the names.—Application refused.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Art old seaman, named Church, was charged with being
drunk and incapable.
The poor fellow had received his pension, 31. 45., yes-
terday, and having been watched by some heartless, art-
ful fellow, was induced to go and drink with him, and hay-
ing been drugged with liquor, was robbed of every penny
he had. The old man was engaged in almost all the
brilliant naval encounters from 1800 to 1816, and re-
, ceived a ball in the chest at the battle of Trafalgar.
Mr. COMM humanely discharged him. He lives with
his daughter, a poor dressmaker, in Cleveland-street,
Fitzroy-square, and said he feared that after the loss of
the money she would not receive him.

The supplies of both English and Foreign Game and
Poultry were more than adequate to meet the wants of
the trade ; hence, the trade was heavy, at drooping
currencies.—We had a very steady demand for prime
Beef, and Mutton at full prices. In all other kinds of
meat, comparatively little was doing. Beef, from 2s 8d
to 3s 6d; Mutton, 2s 8d to 3s 8d ; Veal, 3s 4d to 4s 4d ;
and Pork, 2s 8d to 3s 10d per 81bs by the carcase.
