STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
AIA.NCIIESTER.—AIthough there was no material
change yesterday, in the demand, and certainly no
advance in the prices of goods or yarn, there was,
upon the whole, a healthier and steadier feeling in
the market than during the two or three preceding
weeks. Stocks are still exceedingly light, and many
spinners and manufacturers working under contract;
so that :prices do not seem likely to be further re-
duced.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 31.
—lVe have had a busy market to-day, and flannels of
the finer qualities have a good demand. Dyed goods
have also been eagerly sought after, and the market
has been entirely cleared of them by Scotch buyers,
who do not often attend this market. Notwithstand-
ing this ready sale, there is not the least improvement
in prices. Wool still remains stationary in price ; and
the manufacturers buy very sparingly.

QUEEN'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
MANDAMUS.—THE QUEEN V. THE MANCHESTER AND
LEEDS RAILWAY COMPANY.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for a rule nisi to
quash a mandamus, ordering the Company to com-
plete the road to a width of forty-two feet. A trial
had taken place, in which the Jury had determined
two of the issues in favour of the Company. They
had found that the Company had extended the rail-
road to its full width. The cause had since been re-
moved into the Exchequer Chamber by writ of error.
Lord DENMAN—You had better have the rule en-
larged for a twelvemonth.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I thank your Lord-
ship. It will render my present application unne-
cessary.

GREEN V. ELEGY AND TOULMIN.
This was an action brought to recover damages
for false imprisonment, which had been tried
before Mr. Justice Coleridge at Westminster, the
sittings after last term. The Jury found a verdict
for defendant Elegy, and for plaintiff against defen-
dant Toulmin, with 1501. damages.
Mr. PLATT applied for a rule nisi to enter a ver-
dict for the defendant Toulmin, and for a new trial.
The plaintiff against whom a fiat of bankruptcy had
been issued, was apprehended on a warrant issued on
the application of Elgy, by the Court of Review for
contempt of that court, and on that warrant hewas taken
and imprisoned in the Fleet, Toulmin, who was
the London agent of Elgy, the country Solicitor in
the cause, having handed the warrant to the tipstaff,
and thus having caused his imprisonment. It appeared
that the warrant had subsequently turned out to be a
void one. Mr. Platt contended that Toulmin had
acted as the agent of Elgy, and that the warrant was '
a sufficient authority for Toulmin for what he had
done. 11e also contended that the warrant was a
good warrant and sufficient to justify theimprisonment.
The Learned Judge before whom the plaintiff had
been brought by a writ of habeas, had released him
because the warrant did not sufficiently state the na-
ture of the contempt, or define the term of imprison-
ment. The Learned Counsel contended upon the au-
thority of the warrant of the House of Commons, in
the case of the Sheriff of Middlesex, that it was unne-
cessary to state either the nature of the contempt or
the term of the imprisonment in warrants of commito
tal for contempt, and that therefore the warrant was a
good one, and on those grounds he moved for his rule.
Lord DENMAN—Take a rule.—Rule nisi granted.
MANDAMUS.—THE QUEEN V. THE TOWN COUNCIL OF

STAMFORD.
Mr. WADDINGTON appeared on behalf of Mr. Tak-
ington, the Clerk of the Peace for the borough of
Stamford, for a mandamus, calling upon the Mayor
and Town Council of the borough of Stamford, to
award compensation to him (Mr. Tukington) for the
loss of the office of Clerk to the Justices of the borough,
of which he- liad been deprived under the provisions
of the Municipal Corporation Act. The applicant
had in 1820 been appointed Clerk of the Peace,
Town Clerk, and Clerk to the Justices of the
borough of Stamford, and had performed the duties
of. those offices up to the time of the passing the Muni-
eipal Corporation Act in 1835. He had by the
Council been re-elected to the offices of Town
Clerk and Clerk of the Peace, and had con-
sequently, by the provisions of the Act, been
incapacitated from holding the office of Clerk
to the Justices. A separate Commission had been
subsequently • granted to the borough, and :mother
gentlenian had been appointed clerk to the Justices,
and had executed the duties, and received the emolu-
ments of the office ever since. Mr. Torkinoton had
applied to the Town Council to award him compensa-
tion, and the Council had refused to award him any
compensation whatever. He had then applied to the
Lords of the Treasury, and had in July last been in-
formed by their Lordships that the Law Officers of
the Crown had advised them that in consequence of a
decision in this Court they had no jurisdiction in the
case. Under these circumstsnces he moved for the
mandamus, on the authority of the Warwick, Sand-
wich, and Bridgwater cases.
The COURT granted the application.
