MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW S.
CITY WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Rather a large business was done in Stocks to-day, and
prices, with the exception of Indian Securities, had a slight
tendency to improve. It might have been supposed that the
public would have abstained from all business until the termina-
tion of the iinportant question coming under debate this evening
in the House of Parliament. The bona fide transfers, however,
were rather more numerous. Consols for immediate delivery were
quoted 88% to 89, and for the Account 89 to t391/8. The con-
fidence of the holders of•the surreptitious Exchequer bills ap-
pears rather to increase, and the premium upon the stamped
issue has advanced to 19a. and 21s. India Bonds, on the con-
trary, !rave way to Bs. and ss. premium ; and East India Stock
was reduced to 244 and 243 in consequence of the recent in-
telligence. Bank Stock, though steady, was rather dull at 167.

Foreign Stocks were comparatively quiet, but in prices there
was some steadiness. Spanish Active Bonds were marked 24

fendant.

The plaintiff is a physicist), and the defendant is a coach builder.
The plaintiff bought the curri_le in question from the defendant
sonic time ago, and subsequent to the carriage being sent home it
was discovered that it was very defective, and was frequently sent
back to the defendant to be altered. On the day in question the

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 9.
KILPATRICK V. GREAT 'WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
The plaintiff in this action was a policeman employed on the
Great Western Railway. In the autumn of last year he was em-
ployed in his avocation on the line, and seeing some logs of wood
lying at the side of the road had taken part of it home with him for
the purpose of using it as firewood. The station-clerk considered
this an offence against the Company, and the plaintiff was taken
before the Magistrate on a charge of stealing timber, and was sent
to prison for a short pu►od. The present action was brought to re-
cover from the defendants damages for false imprisonment.
The case occupied the Court the whole day.
