COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEBRUARY 21.

TIIE KING V. WILLIAM JAMES GAUDY.
This was an information, filed by the Attorney-Ge-
neral against the defendant, an Attorney, residing in
Liverpool. The facts of the case, as detailed by the So-
ricrroit-G ENERAL, were these: In December, 1822, four
persons of the names of Mundell, Solly, Meadows, and
Sullivan, established a private whiskey still, in Liverpool;
but to prevent either patty from reaching his accom-
plice, they bound themselves by an oath of secresy, on
the New Testaaient, and also passed under the fictitious
names of " Tom, Jerry, Charley, and Bob Logic:'—
For a short time the business of the still was carried on,
and among the customers was the defendant, who, it
was proved by Tom, Jei ry, and Bob Logic, received
four gallons of the whiskey in two two gallon cans.—
lie was afterwards waited on by Tom for payment,
when he replied that he never received the liquor, and
moreover urged, that Mundell was indebted to him for
business done. The apparatus of the still was soon
after seized by the officers of Excise, when Logic, find-
ing himself a considerable sum out of pocket, gave in-
formation of all the circumstances, and the present pro-
ceeding was instituted against the defendant, which
subjected him to a penalty of 2001. Tom, Jerry, and
Logic, proved the facts as before stated.
Mr. JERVIS, on the part of the defendant, contended
that the evidence of Tom, Jerry, and Logic, was un-
worthy of credit ; and that their having taken an oath
of secrecy to each other, joro conscientia, was a clear
proof of their perjury ; besides, he observed, the spirits,
on both occasions, were delivered at the side door of the
defendant's house, to the same servant, and that it was
very probable she might have retained them for her
own use.—TheJury, however, returned a verdict against
the defendant for Two Hundred Pounds.

SECONDARIES' OFFICE, FEBRUARY 21.

ABBOTT V. TURNER.

This was an action brought to recover one per cent.
upon a considerable sum of money ; about 12,0001. the
loan of which bad been procured by the plaintiff for the
defendant. The Jury were summoned to assess damages,
judgment having been suffered to go by default.
Mr. WILDE stated that the defendant, being in tem-
porary want of a considerable sum of money, advertised
for a loan, and afterwards had an interview with the
plaintiff upon the subject. It was then agreed that five
pounds per cent. should be paid for the term, and that
the plaintiff should have one per cent. for procuring
the loan. The money was forthcoming at the appointed
time, but the defendant having disposed of some pro-
perty in the City, had no occasion for the loan, and re-
fused to pay the plaintiff the one per cent. for nego-
ciating it. This action had been brought in consequence
of the refusal, and the Jury would not hesitate to re-
munerate the plaintiff for the trouble he had in raising
the money, as, whether the sum had been actually lent
or not, he was precisely in the same situation as
negotiator. The charge would be admitted to be most
moderate, and it was the practice in the commercial
world to give a higher fee for negotiating than had
been demanded by the plaintiff.—The Jury, after a few
minutes' consideration, assessed the damages at 70/.

At the last tithe-audit of the Rev. G. RAYMOND, Of
Symonsbuiy, Dorsetshire, he generously apprised his
parishioners that he should not expect to see them again
until that time twelvemonth, as he intended to give
them a half years tithe.
Sentence has been passed at Breslau on Dr. Jahn : he
is condemned to two years' imprisonment.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, FEB. 23.
The supplies last week were good, especially of Oats. This
morning our market has received but moderate quantities of. Corn
front Essex and Kent, and hut little from Suffolk. The fresh
supply of Oats is also inconsiderable, so that the market to-day is
chiefly composed of the quantities that have remained over from
last week. The Flour trade is very dull; and the quality Of Wheat
for sale to-day being chiefly damp, our Millers putchased very
little, and having no demand from the country. the trade has been
dull, at much the sante prices as on this day se'nnight. Barley sells
on full as good terms as last Monday. There is a fair demand fur
Beans, at the prices last quoted. White Peas sell heavily ; and
(;rey Peas are ls. to Qs. per quarter cheaper. Oats are abundant,
and the buyers holding utf occasions a dull trade. The prices are,
therefore, rather lower than on last ilonday.
