Ti,i REM tr I AND lb , ansn Bmic—jrnomiNT, Honour gave judgment this itarelag (as stated in lam !Waylay evening's Ezpress ), on the appli r dim of Thome.

'Seale by policy holden in the General Maritime In terim* Company, which, if substantiated, would have ewanewed up the whole, and eope:eltrateiy decreased the dividend pet able to the creditors. Ile had decided against that claim, and his decision had T... 1 been appealed from. Tile result would be, he should to-t's, an immediate order fur tran‘ferring the whole of Mr. N, ale's private estate to the t itiint estate. and a lure e el., eat nd would be paid the 'et creditors , amountin e t probably to two-thirds or 'r debts. This was a taw of some importance, iusolviog many eircumstanei • out the ordinary course. No cams required greater attention front the court than those of bankers, particularly in the rural districts. It had been well observe,' by Mr. Commissioner liulroyd, in the caw of the St. Albans Dank, that country banks, esta blished by individuals possessing aelequate capital, and =- tinted with due discretion, were productive of the greatest service. it was clear that this hank, in which there were originally four partner*, two of whom were deceased, had at starting very little capital; each partner had brought in 1.0001., but latterly they had Ken going on without any capital at all as far as the firm •as concerned. It was true the indivielual partners had capital of their own to a con sederahle amount, and that c.:pital, there being few sera- rate cm:llion, would be handed user to swell the dividend of the joint creditor.; but still, as a firm, they bad no capital, and they had been froeug un for some years not only without capital, hut with an expenditure: greatly ca rved* their profits, whiele were very small. It W. 1 ,1 said this was nothing unusual in hanks merely of deposit, where the banker received the money of the customer under a solemn undertaking that it should he forthcoming whenever the customer required it, taking his chance of lit ing by the interv,t he might make while the mom, remained in his hands. It was a very questionable I doetnne that such a bank could be conducted without capital ; and he confessed he should very much prefer banker who had somethi n g in his till belonging to the coo- j eern. But it was • totally different question in the ease of , i not merely of deposit, but those issuing a large guar.- • t i rt; k amee—in this care about 10,000 1 . or 12,00 a—which cimulated over a very extensive district, and fur which I meseint the beak wee liable.

If that opinion be against the validity of the marriage, thee something should be allowed you in charity. If it be a legal marriage then you should bo treated with consith ra tion. All I eirin do is to afford you • little trifling relief front the pour-box, and I cannot conceive that the funds can be better bestowed, from what I have been told about you. The applicant further stated that her papers had been also perused by Mr. Fraser, a barrister, whose opinion was that the marriage was legal. She felt bound also to men tion that the parish had offered to p.sss her and her children to Lard Huntingtower's parish, but that she could not bear the idea of a separation from them. The clergyman who accompanied the applicant stated that he had traced her career from the time of her being a companion to a lady up to the present moment, and that the result of his inquiries satisfied him that she was a very well-disposed and well-conducted young woman, and that there was not the slightest grounds for charging her with impropriety of conduct. The magistrate then ordered 21. to he handed to the in addition to which some silver was collected by ac thetyrt t' an this, who appeared deeply to sympathise with her distressed and unfortunate position. The applicant, who was much moved by this kind ness, appropriately thanked the magistrate, and, with the Rev. Mr. Cuff, withdrew. ee eeitere. The private estate was liable in the first in- I Sartre to the private creditors ; and it was no moister when • man came for his money to say, " Wait a twelvemonth or so, and if it turn out that our private estates are more than sufficient to pay our private debts, you will come in for the surplus." A banker so tendueting his business called for the censure of i a enniniercial court, which ought to watch tramactions of this kind strictly. This was • came in which he had felt much anxiety and regret, on account of the great me of the pertners, one of whom was 84, the other upwards of 70, and afflict, I with paralysis; it was impossible to look at such • ease without great eammineration, and a wish to extend that commiseration as far as passible consistent with justice. But these were rasa* which in volved • meet important public principle; and he was in this painful position: the assignees, men of I . 2g e hlharacter, shrewd and acute in busittess, and them selves *utterer, by the hankrupte' conduct, offered no op position, neither did any of the ereditore—in itself a favour. able circumstance; and 72 creditor, had signed &document, bearing testinione to the high character of Mr. Neale, ex pressing their belief that in all his transactionns he had conducted himself with integrity, and recom mending that he should have his certificate. But the act required him, notwithstanding, to look into the fact, of this and even - CAW ; and to judge of the bankrupt 'e conduct as well before as after the bankruptcy. This I placed the court in a somewhat painful position, making it, no to speak, both judge and advocate ; and it was to be regretted that, in all courts where the interests of the public were to be considered, there was not some one in the character of a public prosecutor, especially in ewes of this description, where the interests of the public required that the conduct of a bankrupt should be rifted and inquired into. Three bankrupts had been in business for a very long period, 40 years, upwards of 20 of which they had been the surviruse partriers. The certificate of Mr. Nash hail been rented, as of the %email-clam ; and Mr. Pennell, the officiel assignee, who acted in every case with the strictest aceuraey, and the greatest possible candour, had very properly drawn attention in his report to the solid distinction which existed between the bankrupts. Mr. Nash was much more advanced in years than the other, and of much less active habits; he had taken little or no part in the business, and was what was called a sleeping part ner, still more so as age and infirmity had crept upon him. Mr. Bagley had argued (end he was quite right in prineiplc) that no one hail a right to ho' • sleeping partner in a concern from which he drew profits. That was tor net its theory; hut in practice melody wouldsaythat•eleep ins partner in a concern was equally guilty, and to be visited with elitist reprobation with one who took an active part in the businees, and yet neglected all the duties he undertook to fulfil. That would be to confound all distinctions. Al lusion had been made to theft: large banking concerns in London in which Mies Coutte and the ('ountese of Jersey were partners; and in the event of such an unheard-of oc currence as the failure of these hanks, should these titled persons come Mere him he should tell them that they were not free from blame in not looking a little into the muerte,. But it is quite a different case where the parties professing to manage a concern neglected their duty. Ile had thought Mr. Nash entitled to his certificate in cense qui nee IA his extreme age, and his having taken nn part in the active management of the bank ; and his conduct had been most meritorious, fur as soon as he suspected that the Alen of the l ank were not in a fiuurishing condition he sent for his solicitor, and insisted on the hank being closed, giving as a reason that certain noblemen and gentlemen were about paying in their rents, and that those SUMS would be in jeopardy. This step was very importantly conducive to the welfare of the creditors at large ; for had he not done that which he had really no legal authority to do—namely, closed the bank without the consent of his partner—there might have occurred fraudu lent preference, and other things which often took place on the eve of tenure. Mr. Nash had not a private debt of any kind when ho failed, the bank owed him a small balance, and his whole private estate went without incumbrance to the joint creditors. It would have been wrong to have withheld his certificate; his case was strongly distinguished boa th:a of Mr. Neale. Mr. Neale was a more active man, wad bail taken a very active part, not only in this, but, he regretted to say, in many other concerns. He was one of thaw men who liked to have a great many irons in the fire —too many, as it had turned out, for his ultimate peace of mind and the benefit of his creditors. lie had attended to the bank front day to day till this dreadful affliction had visited him ; but be seemed to have looked very carelessly, to say the least, into what was doing there. Instead of watching what the clerks were about, he seemed to have shut his eyes to the whole. The practical mutters of the bunk seemed to have been left whully to two clerks, one named Johnson, at Reigate, the other Overton, at llorking. It was very sur prising that Mr. Neale, attending at litigate from day to day, should not have noticed and prevented the loss to the bunk of 1.3001. This Mr. Johnson bad been appointed re ceiver of the poor rates about PM. When called upon to pay the guardians, he had paid them out of the bank funds ; and haring neglected to make a rate till it was too late, the money had become a loss to the hank. It was sin gular that Mr. Neale, attending from day to day, an astute and clever man, taking credit to himself for attending to the affairs of the hank, should not have been able to prevent this. It was still more singular that this man had been allowed to contract a further debt of 5001.; so that the bank was now minus 1,7001. by him. It was char Mr. Neale had not wetehed he ought to do the conduct of those under him. At Dorking, when Overton dame he was found a defaulter to the extent of 3,5811/. What was Mr. Neale about to permit a default to such an amount? AS the only acting partner in the bank, it was his business to look at the bookie and not let the clerks do as they liked. What was more strange, on the de ith of Overton, his eon was appointed to esseeted him ; and new he was a defaulter to the amount of 1781., beeides 1101/. in respect of a false entry, which being detected, he had refunded the money. It was clear Mr. Neale, as the acting partner, heel not done his duty. Ile ha-I earrirel on his businesss without capital, and nearly without profit. Notwithstanding this he had speculated in hops, and lost 4,0001. It was said why might nut a banker speculate? But he must nut do ai with the bank funds, the property of the depositors. Nut content with this, he hurl reultarked in a share concern, an insurance company. But the feet must adverse to him was, at the bunkruptey he was found to be indebted to the concern nu less titan in,oniu. Thinking it would be highly advantegeoue to his family, he had invested money in a brewery fur his eons, to whom he lent them a large sum on promissory note, at very long slates, some a couple of year , . had a banker a right thus to overdrew his account, and lend the money without security? Certainly nut. Iluw were the hank depositors te, be paid when they called for their money, always remembering that the bulk itself hail no capital . ? It turned out that these young men, being men of honour, and feeling fur their own and their father's chars( ter, had repaid this money. Of this Mr. Neale ought to have some benefit, though the act was out his own ; hut he could not get rid of the fact, that he had conducted the (rank negligently, overdrawn his amount, and lent the motley only on personal security. But for the et ry proper feeling sin the part of the eons, they might hive refused to repay the money till the notes were due. A blinker ought to taLc real security fur money lent. not a mere preemies...es note, payable tso or three years after slate. It hail turned out, by the acci dent of a point of law, that Mr. Neale 's private east to could nut he touched by the Maritime Ineuranee Company, and consequently the surplus would go to be divided amongst the creditors of the bunk. This case differiel materially from that of Gibson and Start, decided by Mr. Commis. *ion e Iledroyd. Here the bankrupts wen , not opposed, as in the other case. and there we besides a very large divi dend, probably as much as 13.. 411. in the pound. Ile always baked at this cinumstance, thinking it very favour able to a bankrupt. In the St. Allman" Bank there was strong evidence of inteconduct, irregularity, and extrava -41.1 exoenditure in this raw there was nothing of the kind. Whet weight, then, ought to be given to the fact that lit re there was no opposition, and that 72 of the lead ing men in the county recommended that the bankrupt eliould have an immediate certificate, though they had sell:red by Lim considerably? Much weight was due to this and he thought that justice would be sitistied by suspending this certificate for three calendar months from the day on which the first applica tion was nude ; that would give it him in a very few days. The only remeining question was what class the certificate should lie of. The first and highest class was given to those bankrupts whose failure was wholly unavoidable, arisir.g Irons inevitable losses and misfortunes. Were these , words to be applied strictly, very few indeed would t first class certifieetes: but, putting a liberal interpreta tion on the sinuses, he had granted such certificates in one or two Caws. lie did not grant it to Mr. Nash, because had , be attended to the bask instead of going to sleep in his parlour, he would have done much earlier that which he did et hut, namely. put the matter its attain for having the assets equally dividiel amongst the creditors. But what was the cause of Mr. Neale 'II failure? It had nothing to do with una voidahle losses and misfortUllet ; it had arisen from the clerks being allowed to involve the bank in a' debt of nearly osoool. The loss on the hops was 4.0001., besides other IOWA• and if those sums had been added to the assists already realised there would have been no failure. Therefore he was band to say that Mr. Neale's failure had arieen, not from ant arc ustavoislable hates or misfortune, but from his own neg • nee and misconduct. Such being the case, he was boun to award him only a certificate of the third class. The judgment of the court would therefore be recorded, that the certificate be suspended fur three months from the data: when it was first asked, the 27th of November last ; ' when granted to be of the third class.

Ile knew nothing of the action brought by the railway company, except that a writ had issued. In neither of these two actions did he attend at the trial, and he had not paid Mr. Smith, his attorney, any casts. lie had kept a banking account, and there was 6d. to his debit. The only assets givtii up was a policy for 361. In Fehrnary, 1849, he had sold his business, valued at nearly 1,0001., &r 7151. to his son, W. Stntnec, who wag then 25 years of age and bad been in his service at a salary of 301. a-year and Lis board. The business Was Mr. Linklater objected to these questions. What hap pened to the bankrupt years ago had nothing to du with the present case. His Honour said the examination must proceed. It might be important, because he might be inclined to make allowances for inexperience ; but if he saw a long carter of the same courses he should consider it systematic. In further examination the bankrupt said that about 16 yearn ago he was connected with a publication called Figaro in London. He published it, but it was not his publication. Ile had also published works called "The Thief," and " A Slap at the Church," but neither work was his property. By Mr. Link later—" The Slap at the Church " was a pe riodical, and continued about four or five months 011:V. His cash-book contained entries of his trade and personil expenditure. He went away in 1549, in consequence 'of the proceedings in the Court of Chancery respecting the royal etchings. Mr. Smith, his solicitor in the case, as sured him that he had a clear case, and that the proceed ings would terminate in his favour. Counsel had also been of the same opinion, and it was in consequence of Mr. Smith's advice that he appealed to the Vice-Chancellor. Since the termination of Messrs. Ingram and Cooke's ac tion he had seen Mr. Moore, of their ufsee, who told him he did not believe that he (bankrupt) had anything to do with defending the action. He had offered one or more creditors a compositi ~,,, but in consequence of Mr. Smith refusing to accept 150/. for his claim of 5110/. he declined going to the other creditors. Mr. Smith had subsequently consented to take 2.. 6d. in the pound. His Honour said that the bankrupt could not be taken by surprise in being called on to give a full account of his transactions, seeing that he had had the experience of one bankruptcy end two insolvencies. MR answers to some of the questions put were vague and irrelevant. He (the commissioner) should pass over all questions as to actions and railway speculations, and confine himself to the trans action with his (bankrupt's) son. Ile appeared at present to be either unable or unwilling to give an account as to what had become of the greater bulk of the proceeds of the sale of the business, which had been sold to his son 25 per cent. below its value. It did not appear that there hail been any valuation of the stock by any disinterested party, or any person present to teat the faith of the purchase. If he had done his duty in giving those proceeds to his creditors there would now have been is. 6d. in the pound, but, instead of properly doing so, he lived at his pleasure in France. The case had been before the court since November, and on the monde that there were no vouchers for the matters to which lie had referred, and that there was no excuse for their not having been furnished, the examination must be adjourned sine die. Mr. Linklater applied for protection. Mr. Lawrence had nothing to say on that point. He would leave it to the discretion of the court. His honour said that as on intimation had been given that a satisfactory statement might be made hereafter by the bankrupt, he would grant protection for a short period. Mr:Linklater said that perhaps a day might be named for the bankrupt to come up again at his own expense. His Honour said not in a less period than six months, and not then unless the assignees expressed themselves reasonably satisfied. THE POLICE COURTS. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. CAUTION TO KEEPERS Or John Moran Wood, the landlord of the Red Cow, Barbican, was summoned for knowingly permitting bad characters to assamble in his house. Mr. Holder objected to the ease being gone into, on the ground that the defendant was not behind the bar when the alleged offence was committed. Now, the act clearly specified that the party summoned must himself have know ingly permitted the bail characters. The fact was, that the defendant was not present, but his wife, and therefore he could not he held responsible. It was like the case of a wife receiving stolen goods. Surely the hasband could not be punished for her act. Mr. Alderman Copeland said it would be absurd to admit such an objection. i f the defendant left his wife in charge he must be held just as responsible as if he was present him self. The Cane must proceed. City officer No. 50 then stated that, about two o'clock oa the morning of the 10th, in consequence of bearing of two robberies in the neighbourhood, he went into the defendant's house, and found from forty to fifty persons assembled within. Several of the parties he knew to be convicted thieves. Ile pointed them out to the landlady, and said that there had been a robbery committed by some persons whom he supposed to he in the house, and asked her to di net their being turned out. She replied, " Yon had better teen them out yourself." lie said, "It was not his duty slo so." He then went nut, and saw that several of the dessupplied with liquor. He stayed at the door Cs were see whether they were turned out, but they were not. Ile then got another constable to watch it, and it was not until half-past three o'clisek that the house was clear. Mr. Holder, in answering the complaint, again alluded to the fact of the wife, and not the defendant, being behind the bar, and the difficult position of a woman under such cir cumstances. She wished to know who the parties were; and as soon as the ottlecr informed her of their character, she desired the barman to eject them. The barman was called, and he spoke to that fact. In consequence of the conduct of the parties, however, it was more than an hour before he could get them nut. Mr. Alderman Copeland asked whether the house was open all night ? Mr. Holder said it was known as a "night-house." Mr. Alderman Copeland thought the case proved, and was of opinion that a fine of 51. ought to he inflicted. Alderman Sidney took s view of the care more favourable to the defendant, and the penalty was reduced to Ws., with a serious caution. LAMBETH. LORD AND LADY IIeNTINOTOWZR.—A lady of prepos sessing appearance and good address, who described herself as Lady lluntingtower, accompanied by the ltev. W. Cuff,. a clergyman of the established church, waited on the lion. O. C. Norton, to present the following memorial:— " May it please your worship—l trust your worship will excuse the liberty I have taken in laying before you, in writing, my motive for once more obtruding on your valu able time, but as my health is errs delicate, and the excite ment of public speaking might be too much fir my weak frame, I take the liberty of saying that since I last had the honour of waiting upon your worship, means have been tried by my friends to conciliate my husband's family, but PA all these efforts have proved unavailing, I am compelled, though with great reluctance, with your worship's per mission, to adopt this means to lay my case before a discerning public, and in doing so, I beg to axy that 1 am willing to stand at the bar of public opinion. I court inquiry, and feel satisfied the verdict ' will be in my favour. I ant informed by the rev. gentle man who kindly accompanies me to-day that nu his calling ea my husband's uncle on my behalf, he was informed that k was asserted that previous to my marriage with Lord Ilantingtower I was leading a disreputable life; but I have the satisfaction of learning that the result of the reverend gentleman's inquiries have entirely coutradieted this slander. It has also been disputed that I ever neat to Scotland with Lord Ifuntingtower, but I assert, from the testimony that could be produced from there, the fact can be proved. I beg to enclose the copy of a letter addressed by Lord Huntingtower to myself, in which he fully admits that fact, and also a copy of another letter, which is couched in the most affectionate terms possible. To prove to your worship that I have no hope from the Countess of Dysart (Lord liuntingtower's mother), I enclose you a copy of a letter received from her some time since ; and as the terms of that letter were such that I could never agree to, I and my three helpless children have since been living upon friends and credit, together with assistance front the parochial authorities. At that time I was led on with hopes that I might get the means to pursue my rights in a legal way, but I have hitherto failed for want of funds. In fact, we are now upon the verge of starvation. The credit I am obtaining can last but a little longer, and unless something unforeseen occurs, nothing but abject wretched ness will be the lot of myself and three infants. I have the original letters with me should your worship think proper to peruse them. (Signed) " E. HUNTINOTOWIR." Mr. Norton,having perused the above document, address ing the applicant, said Supposing you lived in Scotland, that you were what they call domiciled in Scotland with him, and then that you got any letter written to you ac knowledging you as his wife, that would be a marriage according to the Scotch law ? Applicant—l have several parties in Scotland that can prove that Lord Huntingtower has acknowledged me as his wife. • Mr. Norton—How long did you live with Lord Hunting -1 tower in Scotland ? Applicant—About six weeks. Mr. Norton—Had he a below there ? Applicant—yea, sir; he resided at Grecian Cottage, New haven. I have taken the letters to Mr. Knapp, a banister, who has inspected them, and the conclusion he has come to is that the marriage is a legal one. I have sub•red a good deal of privation, and my children are literally naked. I have never received a sixpence from my husband since October, 1848, and then be Mused me very sadly and left me in very expensive lodgings, in addition to which, a friend of his thought proper to circulate very improper rumours respecting ate. Mr. Norton—lt it a very distressing case. I cannot help thinking that the better way would be to lay the whole of the letters before some members of his lordship's family. My suggestion would be, that all the letters PRODUCE MARKET.—Mato.
