DECISION OF 1111 LATE MI. COMMINSIONCR IFIISFST.  In this case, which was before reported, a novel application waa made to " review " the decision of the late Mr.  Commissioner Murphy. The insolvent, who was an attorney in extensive practice, was beard some time back and reesived a judgment of two yeses from Mr. Commissioner Murphy at the suit of two creditors named Beavers and AWason for fraudulently ooetracting their debts, and in punsanee of which judgment he was now in prison. Babsignently the Law Institution applied to the Court of Queen's Beech to strike the Insolvent off the rolls, and that mut had suspended him from practice for two yeas. Pending the application to the Court of Queen's Bench the insolvent applied to this court for • rehearing or review of the decision, and the matter was before the late Mr. Commissioner Murphy, who declined to go into the matter until the decision a/ the Court of Queen's Bench bad been ascertained. A rule had been issued to review, or vary, or annul the adjudication which bad been made in the matter. Mr. Bargood had applied to Mr. Commissioner Nichols that he would bear the application sa the case belonged to his court in consequence of the death of Mr. Commissioner Murphy. The insolvent, who denied that he had committed any fraud, was anxious that the decision should be " reviewed," and that he might be relieved from his painful position. Yr. Commissioner-Nichols said he must go into the whole matter in order to decide the question, and appointed a day next week, oaths point to "review " the decision of the late Mr. Comminsioner Murphy.  rell said, "Yes, so say L" The purse with a metallic clasp won found oa Conway. the coroner's inquest and their committal they both became much affected, and Conway said to Farrell, " We should not have bees here if you had come along with me, and let the girl alone." Mr. Edwards, in a powerful address to the jury, charaeteriaed the evidence m vague and unsatisfactory, and of such a nature as not to warrant the conviction of the prisoners and the forfeiture of their lives. The unfortunate woman might have committed suicide. Mr. Justice Keating regretted that in a came of this imince there should not have been prepared plans of the locality. If this proceeded from motives of economy, he considered the economy to be much misplaced. It had been suggested that death was the result of suicide, but the medical testimony was that the external appearances of the body were inconsistent with accidental or self-occasioned death, that fainting must have been produced by violence, and that in this state of she was drowned. A falsehood uttered after an a c aa that of murder must not necessarily be taken as endemic of guilt. An innocent and straightforward man would always speak the truth ; but same persons were foolish and weak-minded enough, when so charged, to tell a falsehood to endeavour to remove suspicion ; and they must take the consequences if •jury chose to put an adverse construction upon their words. 'Me evidatee, circumstantial in its nature, consisted of a number of facts, each apparently trivial in itself, but which in connexionlf, formed link of important testimony. The jury Acquitted the primisrs.  was reported. But these advice*, though giving • more cheerful feeling, have failed to give firmness bay in face of the large production thrown constantly on the market, now that Many of the contracts are exhausted. There are sales making for almost all markets, but sellers have difficulty in making them without a slight further cola:sena'. Long cloths, T cloths, domestics, and printers, are all a fraction lower than last week. Printers are relatively dearer, the producers being =mated by contracts, with lighter stocks than exist for other cloths. Yarns continue to droop, and cops and warps, for the home trades especially, continue depressed. Water-twist for Germany is also difficult of sale except at a slight decline. Hard twist, and some of the higher counteat doubled }erns, are exceptionably steady. India twist is difficult to sell, and even at a small decline there is very little business done. The liabilities of Messrs. R. Freeland and Brother, who suspended on Wednesday, are now stated at a much higher sum than 60,000/., but the exact amount is not known.
