SUPPOSED LUNATIC.

Mr. HOPE was instructed to mention this case
to the Court ; he understood that his Lordship had
apprised the parties what course he intended to
pursue.

- His LORDSHIP observed, that it was his intention
to request two medical gentlemen to visit the sup-
posed lunatic. He had mentioned the names of the
two gentlemen in the presence of the Solicitor-
General, for the purpose of enablinghim to state them
to his client, in order to see if there was any objec-
tion to them.

Mr. HORNE considered it necessary no delay
should occur.

The LORD CHANCELLOR concurred in this, and
thought Mr. Horne bad better mention the matter
to the Solicitor• General.
Mr. HORNE would do this.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. CAMPBELL applied to the Court for a rule
nisi, for a criminal information against a magistrate
of the county of Caermarthen, whose name it was
not strictly requisite to mention. He thought that it
was one of the most serious cases that he had ever had
the honour of bringing before the Court. The com-
plainant, named Davis, stated by his affidavit that
he was on the 13th of May returning from Cacr-
marthen, when he was stopped and attacked by a
man with a club, who took his money from turn,
after having knocked him down. TIUs happened
on a Saturday. On the following Monday he ap-
plied to the defendant, a magistrate, for a warrant
against a man named Williams, whom he had iden-
tified at the time as the robber. This warrant was
put into the hands of the constable, but Williams
absconded. On the 19th of the same month he was
himself taken into custody on a warrant for
assaulting Williams, and brought before the defend-
ant. Williams did not appear, and the Magistrate
advised Davis to make it up, telling him that if he
would, the money vhich had been taken from him
should be returned, alleging that Williams much
wished to make it up. Davis refused all compro-
mise, and was then ordered by the defendant to find
bail, or be sent to prison, on the complaint of David
Williams, who never appeared. Davis was, in con-
sequence, obliged to find bail; and he swears that
he believes this charge was all a trick, to prevent
the deponent from prosecuting Williams. The im-
proper conduct, however, of the defendant, did not
stop there. Davis had obtained another warrant
from another Magistrate, and Williams received ser-
vice of notice to appear before the Magistrate on the
25th May. Defendant again tried to persuade
Davis to drop the prosecution, repeating that the
money should be returned to him. Davis still refused,
and then the defendant said he should call Williams
into a private room, into which the defendant re-
tired. He shortly afterwards returned,and, addressing
himself to the constable, observed that he had bound
Williams ever to appear at the Quarter Sessions,
and that he (the constable) must not touch him. 2.
The Learned Counsel submitted that it was clear
the defendant had connived with the person against
whom the charge of robbery was brought.
The affidavit of Davis was confirmed by the affi-
davit of the constable, and another person who was
present at the examinations.
Lord TENTERDEN—Take a rule to show cause;
probably you will havean answer.—Rulenisi granted

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The overwhelming quantities of Corn that continue to
arrive here, chiefly from abroad, have almost stagnated
this market. The factors appear very anxious to sell
Wheat, but they can meet with very few buyers, even at
reduced prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, are each
ve►y dull in sale, and hardly maintain list quotations.
The little business that is doing in aLts is confined chiefly
to the best parcels, which obtain Alonday's prices, hut
other sorts cannot be sold without taking less money. The
Flour trade is excessively dull.
