CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANK, MARCH U.

The arrivals of all sorts of Grain last week were inconsiderabk,
and the quantity of Flour was also small. This morning there la
only a small fresh supply of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, from
Esser, Kent, and Suffolk. and there are very few vessels in from else
North with Oats. Prime dry samples of Wheat readily obtain the
terms of this day sientOght, bat in other qualities there is not much
trade. Barley meets a very slow sale this morning, and hardly
maintains last quotations. Beans sell very heavily, but they are not
reported cheaper. There are very few Peas of either kind for sale
to-day, and they are without variation. The quantity of Oats foe
sale is scanty, and the rims of this article are rather higher than
this day sennight, with little doing in the trade. Flour unakered.

LAW REPORT.

.-....M1011....

COURT OF CHANCERY. MARCH 26.
REAL DEL MONTE MINE.

. The LORD CHANCELLOR was twain attended by Lord
Lauderdale, who sat near him during do? greater ran
of the discusion of this case.
Mr. SHADWELL proceeded with, and ciascluded the
observations he commenced with )esterday ; he was
followed by Mr. SUDDEN, the general scope of whose
argument was, that the plaintiff's bill was bad fur want
of proper parties ; and that if ever there was a demur-
ter which ought to prevail'it was in the present instance.
Mr. B:ostensrarn was the next Counsel in order to
address his Lordship ; the Learned Geralenian,however,
sAid,.he was-satisfied with the manner in which the case
II id been argued ; that h: felt it quite unnecessary on
his part to add anything to what had aheady been
urged ; and the more partionlarly as lie was extremely
ansious ta have his Lordahip's judgment this day.
The Loin CH A NcELLoa—You need not save yourself
on that account, for I shall certainly not give my judg-
ment hef' re Tuesday.
The Scoaceroit-GeNettm. replied at considerable
length, and the pleadings of Counsel having terminated,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, this was an application,
originally es-parte, for an injunction, and he thought
that what had passed hail gone a lung way to prove
that he was right in debiting the defendant to be before
the Court. There was one point, he said, with which
he had no concern—that was, that it was alleged on
the one hand, that Mr. Kinder did very properly'
retain to himself fifty shares in the first concern;
and it was alleged on the other hand, that he had no
right to any more than twenty-one. Tile parties dife
feted very much on the conduct of M. Kinder. He
apprehended that a Judge had nothing to do with con-
siderations of that nature. It was not for him to make
observations upon points, with reference to which he
was not entrusted, unless such conduct formed a bar
to the relief which was asked. He had nothing to do
with it, and should therefore dismiss from his considoi
ration all that had been said on each side, with refer-
ence to Mr. Kinder or Mr. Taylor. The question tyros
the demurrer was a mere question of law ; for in a de-
sputter, all the circumstances stated in the bill must be
taken to be true, even if there was not a word of truth
in them. One question was, did the bill state a suffi-
cient cause for an injunction, taking all the facts to be
true? or was there not a want of statement of a parti-
cular sort ? that point of itself, even if the parties had
been heard cx parte, would have called upon the
Coutt to have said it could not grant au injunction,
and he was dismissing from his attention altogether the
question taised at the bar; he meant the question with
respect to the legality of the present undertaking, and
ninny other undertakings of the present day, in which
many men of rank and fortune were engaged, and who
he was sorry to say bad not been apprised of the em-
barrassments in which, one day or other, they and
their families would certainly be involved. He thought
there were many of the Companies of the present day
that would be nuisances at Common Law, though they
might no; fall within the meaning of thestatute of the 6
Geo. I. so as to subject the projectors to the heavy pe-
nalties imposed by that Act; but if persons formed
themselves into Companies, never intending to continue
Members of such Companies, but raising, upon the
love of gain, very large sums of money, it would be
for those who understood the law better than himself
to say, whether, if persons should happen to be en-
gaged in a Company, not meaning to perfect it, and
selling their shares in the meantime, whether that
would not amount t a fraud? He hoped he did not
travel much out of his toad, when he said that he
humbly thought it did very much concern individuals,
if the reports which had been given out were true, and
it would become them seriously to consider in what si-
tuation they stood. He begged to have it understood,
that it was not upon any such principle be applied his
consideration to the present case. With regard to the
question, how fir a Company of this kind might be
viewed as coming within the description of a nuisance
at Common Law ? it was a question which required
his most attentive deliberation before he ventured to
express any decided opinion. It was not necessary
for him to say more at the present moment upon a
point which required such accurateinvestigation; there
were other points upon which he would be well pre-
pared to give his judgment at this instant, if his cape-.
sieoce had not taught him that it was next to impossible
for a Judge to be quite sure, when he cast his eyes over
the multitude of papers in which such a case as this
was enveloped. It eras for these reasons he should
defer giving his judgment until Tuesday morning.
Ha I...nisi:4) then took a review of some of the leading
facts of tt e case, observing particularly upon the man-
ner in w!iich this Company !lad been originally formed;
adverting to all the matters of arrangement by which
the Company had intended to carry on their operations,
it would remain for him to consider, by a more careful
ex imination of the papers and documents submitted to
him, whether the defendant, Taylor, or tire Committee
appointed for die management of the concern, could
authorise any individual to deal with any other mines
than those which constituted the subj •ct of the original
sio culation, so as to render that auttiority assumed by
them binding icon the Company generally ? It neither
Mi. Taylor could assume the right, nor Mr. Taylor
and the Committee of Man igement could delegate such
a right, it came to this question, whethei the acts
Mr. Taylor or of Captain Vetch, the agent, were acts
with reter.rice to which their interference, if it was
unauthorised, tl.e Company had derived an interest
available for their own advantage is exclusion of the
defendant Taylor, and those under whose authority he
bed acted? Ills Lordship proceeded with a variety of
general observatiqns referable to the course pursued by
the Directors, and those w; o had assumed the manage-
ment of this speculation. lle then remarked, that there
had b en one person taken to task for nut deciding
more of a case than the necessity of it dernatuled. if
the person so pointed at was himself, all lie could say
upon the subject was, that when he retir.d how the
discharge of his official duties, he should carry with
hint the conso:ari.nr of having never pronounced his
ultimate decision upon any case, without first fully
vdeighing and considering it in all its possible bearings,
and without having sat shed his mind that lie had
omitted no view of the rail ct upon a hich his decision
'ought to be founded, for he considered there was no
than for a Judge to determine
necessarily fall within the range
regard to the particulsr ca-e be-
ta any cam whatever. It was
'pit:ion upon all such irrelevant
opeir for decision wlon the pecu-
called upon the Judge to decide

them. His Lordship hveirg thrown out these ohm-
eat one, said he should deter what he had further to
rem irk, and should endeavour to dispose finally of this
question on Tuesday morning.

LENT ASSIZES.
YORK, MARCII Sta.
Richard Huh/ernes:, aged 22, was indicted under
Lord Eileteborough's Act, for maliciously shooting at,
with intent to kill, Robert Manners, at Pocklingtnn.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that
he was a carrier between Pocklington and Hull, and had
occasionally given a lift on theroad to the prisoner. On
the 11th of December last, about twelve o'clock in
the night, he was accosted by the prisoner, who re-
quested permission to ride in his cart,which he had been
in the habit °fallowing him. The prosecutor stated,
he consented, and they travelled together, and the
prosecutor fell asleep in his cart—in that situation he
remained until awakened by the effects of a shot, which
he received under the right ear, and which traversed
round the head until it went out at the left ear, but
without doing material injury. Tile prisoner was not
in the cart when the prosecutor was thus disagreebly
awakened ; he, fearing whoever fired the shot, might
fire a second, started off with his horse at a quick pace,
and soon after the prisoner came up to him in some
confusion. On inspecting the cart, which was a covered
one, it was quite clear that no person outside could
have fired the shot, as there was no hole or aperture
made in the covering ; and from the direction the ball
took or► the prosecutor's head, it must have been fired
by a person close to him and lyiag in the same level.—
The prisoner was apprehended, but nothing was found
on him to warrant a conclusion that he had fired the
shot. On searching about the place neer where the shot
was fired, a bag contain.ng some balls and a detonating
pistol was found concealed in a bush close to the road.
Evidence was given, that a pistol similar to the one found had
been In the prisoner's custody a few days previous to the circum-
stance, and the bag in which it was contained was fully identified
as belonging to him. Verdict—Guihy.
