have bee

society, which I have sometimes found in this and in some
neighbouring counties. I trust that the exertions of the
magistracy and the police have been successful in convincing

evil-disposed persons that the law is too strong for them,
and in inducing them to desist. With regard to two or three

of the cases which contain charges of a very serious nature
I will just take the.liberty to

remind you that in the event
trial taking place, if the party
nal evidence may be hereafter

of a bill being found, and the

be acquitted, whatever additio

discovered, no new trial c

take place

That appears to
be a reason in some very serious cases, why it may be
advisable not to find the bill when a case of very
strong suspicion only arises, unless it is such a case as will

justify the common jury in convicting the prisoner, be-
cause, supposing a case of acquittal, there would be a failure
of justice in the event of the subsequent discovery of evidence
to which I have adverted. You will take this' as a general
observation, and as not arising out of any particular know-

ledge of the individual circumstances of any one case. Such
cases do occasionally occur, and if they do, I think the sug-
gestion will be worthy of notice. The learned Baron then
dismissed the Grand Jury to, their labours in the usual form.
The Grand Jury having retired, returned in about half an
hour with a complaint that there were no bills brought be-
fore them. The learned Judge, in consequence, announced
that unless attorneys immediately presented their bills nei-
ther their nor the witnesses' expenses would be allowed.

LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

Since the early part of the week the receipts of Grain,
Flour, and Oatmeal into this port have been rather inconsi-
derable ; and without the prospect of further immediate
supplies of Wheat, holders have appeared inclined to place
the late arrivals mostly in granary, in preference to conced-
ing any abatement from the reduced rates last noted: thus,
although no extensive sales have been reported from the
close of Tuesday's market until to-day, this Grain, as well
as Flour and other articles of the Corn trade, remained
steady in 'value.

The duty upon foreign Rye is reduced to 16s 9d per qr.,
that on all other foreign and colonial produce continuing the
same as last week.

Having a very limited number of town and country miller
at our Corn Exchange to-day, and those extremely inactive,
the trade for all descriptions of Wheat exhibited an exceed-
ingly dull appearance; importers, nevertheless, evincing no
desire to press sales, and adhering firmly to the rates of
Tuesday, we have little or no change to note in the general
currency then stated.

English, Irish, and Foreign duty-paid Flour, commanding
very little notice, hardly supported late prices ; and bonded
samples being nearly without inquiry, must be quoted 6d to
is per barrel cheaper.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being also much ne-
glected, were somewhat depressed in value.
Oats remaining extremely scarce, fully maintained our
last quotations ; but Oatmeal, participating in the languor
pervading most other articles, was the turn lower.
