CLAIM AGAINST AN ADMINIST7ATOR

BURGESS v. Leacu.—The declaration, which was in
scire facias, set forth that the plaintiff had recovered judg-
ment in this court in an action against Mary Leech, de-
ceased, for £2O debt, and £l3 16s. 2d. for costs, but before
final execution was granted, Mary Leech, the intestate, died,
and administration was granted to the defendant. Mr. James
appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Paget for the defendant.
It appeared, that on the 6th of February last, in the Court
of Passage, the plaintiff brought an action against the intes-
tate, which was tried. and the verdict returned in his favour
for £2O, and on the 9th final judgment was entered up for
the debt and costs. On the night of the 6th the intestate
died, and on the part of the defendant it was contended, that
as the judgment was not signed till the 9th, the defendant
was not bound to pay the debt. The objection, after come
discussion, was overruled, and a verdict was returned for the
plaintiff for £33. 163. 2d.

ASSAULT,

DUTTON V. ATIIERTON.—An action of assault. The plain-
tiff is an apprentice to Messrs. Samuel and James Holine,
and the defendant is a foreman in their establishment in
Benson-street. The circumstances were not worth reporting.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages one
farthing.

PEEL v. MELSON.—An action on an account stated to
recover a balance of -£l3. Ils. sd. Verdict for the amount

claimed

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--Tills DAA

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN 8r SONS' Circular.)

Having very few arrivals of Grain, in addition to those al-
luded to in the foregoing report, the supplies received here
since this day week are on the aggregate very unimportant.
Our market this morning was tolerably well attended by
town and country purchasers, and the trade upon the whole
assumed a steadier appearance than of late. In good and
fine descriptions of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat, the
transactions were to a moderately fair extent, on quite as
high terms, and, in a few partial instances, at prices slightly
over the currency of this day se'nnight ; but in the low qua-
lities of this grain there was no amendment either in demand
or value.

Flour, moving off rather less readily, hardly maintained
the advance above noted.

Barley supported the improved rates of Friday, and supe-
rior qualities of Malt were Is. per qr. dearer.
Beans and Pease, upon a moderate sale, fully retained our
last quotations.

Oats, being still scarce, commanded former prices, but
were disposed of rather less freely than previously.
Oatmeal, on the contrary, was in good request, and choice
cuts, in some instances, rather exceeded the rates of last
week.

In the bonded market, little has transpired beyond a few
trivial sales for export : the recent imports of foreign Wheat,
however, continue to be offered free for consumption, and
last week 1670 qrs. were cleared for that purpose within the
range of our quotations, on payment of the 20s. duty.
The late cold winds having been succeeded by mild genial
weather and fertilizing rains, vegetation is now progressing
vigorously, and after as favourable a seed time as can be
rememoered, the crops around us exhibit a most luxuriant
aspect.
