Mr. Bolt fur certain ereddors moved for an order staying the certificate granted a few thy. since to this bankrupt by the must, but which eatended to protect his pereau only and not his property. Mr. E. Cooke for the bankrupt took a preliminary ob jection that the applicants had apieered to oppose the cer tificate before the commissioner, who had declined to hear them, because they had not given the three dayslnotice re quired by the Bankrupt Act of their intention to oppose. Mr. Bolt and Mr. Bagley said their client* had appeared before the commissioner at the last examination of the bankrupt, and had then endeavoured to bring forward their grounds of opposition. The commissioner had then told them that the proper time for considering the matter would be on the application for the certificate. Lord Justice Cranworth said he thought the application could not b. heard. It might be true that the matter bad been brought before the commissioner on the last examina tion of the bankrupt, but it was then urged fur a different purism. The Bankrupt Art expressly enacted that the cre ditor shall not be heard on the application for the certificate unless three days UOUCe cal his intention to oppose has been given. Upon this clause the commissioner had very pro perly acted, and the creditor could not be allowed to pass over the decision of the commbsioner and brb.g the same case before this court. Lord Justice Knight Bruce entirely concurred in the de cision of Lord Cranwarth, and the motion was then refused with cost*. E Ctierrosst UE CIIELTILAN. Mr. Elmsley applied fur payment out of court of a sum of 561. stock, which had been carried to the account of two infant cestuis que trust. The sum was a dividend upon a larger sum elabned on behalf of the infants, forming their portion of a trust fund of which the bankrupt had been trustee, end which he had engaged in trade. The Court was doubtful whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application except by way of appeal from the commissioner. Mr. Eliasley saidgthe commissioner at Manchester had re fused to entertain the application, being of opinion that the jurisdiction in the matter hail been transferred to this court. The Court still doubting whether it had jurisdiction the matter was directed to stand over till Friday next, that the grounds of the commissioner's r, fugal might iu the mean time be ascertained, and the case brought if possible before the court in the shape of no appeal.

The mortgagor died in 1839, leaving his pro perty to his three sons, John Joseph, and Benjamin, and appointed John (the plaintiff; and Benjamin his executors. By indenture, dated Oct. 2, 1839, Ilmjamin mortgazed his share in the property to Wm. Rhodes, J. (lint, and Nay. tor, as the executors of U. Naylor, to secure 1501.; Mill this deed also tontaiipeel a power of gate after the expiration of three months. And by indenture of Ike. 1840, Benjamin moseyed his share in the property, subject to the mortgage, to Joseph ; 31111 by indenture of Feb. 1844, Joseph con veyed all his estate under the will of his father to John. John was th refine entitled to two thirds of the property, subject to the mortgage of Oct. 1831, and Joseph was en titled to one third. subject to that mortgage and the mon. gage of Oet. 1839. On the 2PI of March, 1849, Ithosles served the 'plaintiff John Whitworth with notice of sale at the expiration of three months, unless the sum of 3871. (the nom remaining due of the inort•age of 1830), and the sum of VW. due miler the mortgage made by Benjamin, was sooner paid. Ott the 18th M June the sob eitor to Rhodes, Hirst, and Naylor gave notice to the plaintiff that they were prepared to proceed to sale. Plaintiff answered that be was really to pay opt' the um tgage of 1830, and had tin con cern with the other, and that lie would pay it off on having the gal estate conveyed to him. On the 7th of July ' Rhodes's solicitor offered to reemvey the legal estate in two-thirds of the ',reopen', noon having the sum due on the mortgage of WO paid off. This the mortgagor re fused, unit the mortgagee advertised the property for gale. The plainti ff then tiled hi., bill to restrain the sale, and to redeem the prop. rty. The injunction was granted on the term of the pi.uutitf bringing iutu court a Luau sufficient to answer the first mortgage alaur, and this was affirmed on appeal. Theis motion was afterwards varied to the extent ut allowing the &lend:nits to sell the one-third which had belonged to lhujamin, but net to part with the legal estate.

Mr. Pashley, Q.C., who appeared in support of the rate, said that the question wax whether the institution was ex clusively desisted to science, literature and the fine arts. The careful enumeration of thew three purpose, to which such institutions must be devoted showed that the legfsla tun• meant them alone to be considered. Had the legislature used the words " for scientific purposes," it would be diffi cult to draw a line between science and useful art; but the cape. ss language of the act was, that such institutions, to be exempted from the rate, must be devoted to science, literature, and the line arts ; all the useful arts were there fore necessarill excluded. It had not been thought ne cessary, snit God forbid that it should be in this country, to give any premium to the useful arts, for they could protect themselves. In the common and popular sense the word '' science " was used of things to which it did not apply . . 'flee " science " meant by the legislature amid only include science, proper, as algebra, geometry, ile.— mixed science, as hydrostatics, astronomy, mechanics, &c.— and there had grown up the moral and political sciences. It appeared (non the case which had been agreed on that the Manchester Athenaeum was established in 1845, "with a view to afford facilities for moral and intellectual im- ;movement." It consisted of a news-room ' library, read ing-room, and other rooms. It was divided into shares of la each. and the property was vested in trustees. Lord Campbell—The proprietors rt crive a handsome interest ofd per cent. It is a good investment. Mr. Pashley said there could be ao doubt of that. In addition to the library there was a news-room, where the morning and other newspaper* were taken in, and impor ' tint intelligence was communicated by the electric tele ' graph from London. Liverpool, and other places, and posted in the room. The ancient and modern languages were taught, the teachers being paid by small quarterly ' subscriptions raised from the members of the classes. There was also an essay and discussion society, a political debating society, vocal and instrumental concerts, and dancing —a cheer dull, a gymnastic club, and a cricket : club, for which ground was rented. There was also a coffee-room, which was let off, and separately rated. It appeared also that within the last year there had been three soir e es, at one of which Mr. Cobden, presided. A bazaar had also recently been held in the institution, at which upwards of 2001. had been raised. He contended ' that au. h sit institution was not entitled to exemption tin , der the act, which applied only to institutions having for their object the promotion of " science, literature, and the I fine arts." Mr. Crompton, oaths other side, admitted that, unless their lordships gave a wide oeustruetiow to the act, it was dialealt to say that there were not matters in the inks which were not included in the terms " science, literature, and the Erie arts." Iu institutions of this kind, however, there were some necessary seevinthisitnents—a news-roons, for instauee—whieli were held out as attractions. Aliterary imstitsitise should not be too morose and sour—philo= must not be crabbed, but e*y some of the little div meats to which hie leamedfriend seemed so midi to object, and no doubt a cup of coffee, some music, and occasionally a dance would agreeably relieve the more grave and stu dious employment of the members. Unless their lordships took this liberal view of the meaning of the act, be ad mitted that he must give up his ease. Lord Campbell said it never could have been thY inten tion of the legislature that such institutions hs the Man eherer Atheneum should be exempted from the paymeut of poor rates ; and, although he bad great respect for the gentleman who gave the certificate of that institution being within the scope of the act of parliament, he must observe that there could be no pretence for saying that it was so. It would be strange if the legislature had passed a law wtereby as institution, which seemed to have been esta blished for the peculiar benetit of the founder', as well as their amusement and recreation, should be supported by an assessment on the parish in which its rooms happened to by situated. It was, no doubt, very proper that people should at Manchester h ave a view to the main chance, and the founders of this institution were, therefore, to receive 5:. per cent. for all the money they dvanced, which was more than could be obtained on any lair security by mortgage, or fur money in the funds ' or in any other way in which mosey could be invested. The institution seemed to him to have been established not exclusively for " literature, science, or the tine arts," but to put money in the pockets of the founders. It appeared that there was a gymnastic club, a site's club, and a news room, where the state of the mar kets, and all eons of commercial information, was obtained ' by electric telegraph. It was a place, therefore, where pro ' fitable business was to be conducted, and it seemed to him that there was no pretence fur saying that it was an insti tution founded exclusively for "literature, science, and the tine arts." It might, therefore, most justly be rated along with all the other rateable property in the parish. Rule discharged. BUSINESS OF TEL Cotter. Lord Campbell said that to-morrow (this day), after going through the har, the court would proceed with the crown paper. They took the crown paper because they were afraid that parties might not be ready in the new trials moved this term ; but he wished it to be understood that after to-morrow (this day), the court would go on with the new trial paper regularly. the amount of 6,0001. and upwards, of which 6001. was i cash in hand. Ilk own personal expenditure has been sin gularly moderate, being Mr years only 4,6•501. His brother's expenses were at the rate of 1,150/. a year, and perhaps h.' ought to have interli red to check the:n. Ills otni...ion to do this seems to have been his only fault; in every other respvet his conduct seems to have bout very meritorious, and I have therefore great pleasure in giving him the favourable testimony I have already mentioned. The solicitor for the bankrupt applied for a fine clue cer tificate. 111. Honour said certainly not. He would never be a party to making first elms certificates 's worthless as knight hoods. iN ME FILANCKEISS.—COURT FEES AND CHARGES. In the matter of this bankrupt, a draper, at Landport and Portico, whose application for his certificatewas heard a few days ago, Mr. Reed, who represented the assignees, said he wished to call the attention of the court to the heavy charges which fell upon a small estate when wound up in bankruptcy. The petition here was dated in the commencement of Au gust; there was nothing in the ease to cause a large expen diture; it was an estate that ought to be wound up econo mically, and it had certainly not been more expensive than estates in bankruptcy generally were. He wished, not so much to draw attention to this particular case, but rather to the general charges in bankruptcy, of which these were a sample. The whole 'mots collected up to the dividend meeting on Saturday amounted to 937/. 14s. 9d., of which about 680/. was the proceeds of stock in trade, fixtures, and furniture sold, and the remain der of good debts. ln the accounts before him, the official assignee's allowance was not included; that! would haveto be added to the charges he was about to mention. The sums already paid in respect to this bank• ruptcy by the official assignee, to which hie own allowance would have to be added, amounted to 235/. 51., or 25 per cent. on the assets collected The assienees had not oppowii the certificate, but had merely called the attention of the court to the eircutnstances; therefore, the expense had not been swelled by any litigation or contest with the bankrupt himself. The Commissioner. —What do the items consist of ? Mr. Reed said the first was the allowance to the bank rupt of 191. Is. That the assignees could not say a word against, because they had the bankrupt's services, and must pay fur them. The next was 15/. to the accountant 14 preparing the balance-sheet. The assignees had objected to this, on principle, at the choice meeting, considering that this was making the bankrupt an allowance twice over : First, they paid him 191. Is. tar attendance at the official assignee's office to get up his accounts ; and then they were chargi.d 13/. by an accountant for preparing those very accounts. The f' 'That is an argument to he addressed rather to the legislature. It is an arrangement made by the legislature in accordance with the wishes of those per wins who took charge of the views of the merchants and traders of London on tnis aulject. I have always born of opinion that it was the duty of the bankrupt to furnish materials for making out an account, and the duty of the official ruesignee. by himself or clerks, to cause those ac• counts to be put into form for the information of the court. Entertaining that view, I established a system in this court, which worked extremely well, whereby the ac counts were prepared in the °thee of the official assignee. Itut the gentlemen who attended before the committees of the Lords and Commons sancti sued the doctrine that the accounts should be looked icto by a person who, though no- minated by the bankrupt, should be approved by them. After a lengthy conversation, elicited by various items of expense instanced to the Commissioner, Ills Honour said—l investigated, some time ago, what were the actual expenses in cases out of court and here ; aud I did not think there was any material difference be- tween the two. as regarded the expense ; but I certainly satisfied myself that a great deal snore justice was done in the court, and more sturdily. One of the peculiarities or the 1 administration of justice hero is, that the money is got in speedily, and is sent out speedily. I venture to say that, in nine cases out of ten, where there are considerable assets brought into this court, the whole funds are collected and distributed within ten or eleven months; and, generally speaking, the masa is distributed before the end of the third month after the bankruptcy. Then we ought to remember the of l saying, "that a nimble ninepenee is bet' er than a slow shall,* ;" and I really believe that ninepence received at an early period is much better for the commercial world than a shilling. Mr. Iteed—Why, in the great majority of cases under assignment, the first dividend is paid immediately, and the principal dividend at the end of three months, until which period the deed remains an act of bankruptcy. But in cues where there are only a few creditors, a dividend is declared in a month or five week-, under a deed of indemnity It is only recently that power has been given to this court to have a dividend meeting until after the last examination. The Commissioner—The estates which you administer out of court involve little or no difficulty ; those which are sent here do involve. difficulties. As long as you eats keep out of the court you do so; when you come here, it is be cause there are difficulties. Still I believe the administra tion is more rapid here than elsewhere. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YESTEaDAT. lit INPIK Mx. TCant.ll. POLICE EVIDENCE. George Arbor, IlicKird .stierfiirici.,`ross, and Edmund Seurgesa, three journeymen linendrapers, were indicted for au assault upon a poke -officer named Smith, in the lawful execution of his duty. It appeared from the evidence of a policeman named Turner that on the evening of the sth instant a great num bet of perverts had collected at the corner of Church-street. Soho, where fireworks were being let off in commemoration of gunpowder plot, and he interposed nod desired the crowd to disperse. Whilst he was so engaged a boy named Denton sat fire to the end of a ramili and was waving it about in order that the contents might ignite, and the officer took him into custody and marched him off to the station, much to the dissatisfaction of the crowd, many of whom urged that the boy had committed no very heinous crime and begged that he might be set at liberty, but the officer was inexorable. The crowd followed, and became NI ear neat in soliciting the boy's liberation that he thought it ne cessary to call assistance, and the prosecutor (Smith) was one of the officers who went to his aid. Stones and other missiles had at that time been thrown. The prosecutor stated that whilst he was assisting Turner he saw the defendants in the crowd declaring that the boy should not be taken to the station. Sturgcss knocked hint down without saying anything, and the other two fell upon Arbur and Cross had just before been trying to pre vent Turner taking the boy, and Sturgeon hadhud hold of him by the collar. N% hen be was down he was kicked on the back by . one of them. He spoke positively to the fact of his having been knocked down by Sturgeon, and iu this he was confirmed by another officer, named Loosely, who stated al:ao that ho saw the other two defendants fall ou Smith when he was down. Mr. Parry, in addressing the jury, raid, that, according to his instructions, the evidence as to the assault ou the officer Smith was not a mistake merely, but a falsehood. The learned waited then proceeded to call evidence, and two witnesses, named Platt and Watson, the former a hoot maker, and the latter a gontuaker in the employ of Mr. Mantuu, who were pre.ent on the occasion, positively con tradicted the statement as to the assault, and denied that Smith was knocked down at all. _ 'he jury intimated to Mt. Parry that he need call no more witnesses, as they were quite witiatied, and they then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. I'arry bald proceedings would be taken against tho often. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. _ Three young men, — name7lifinews --- , Jackson, and Goult, were charged by Mr. Eldred, 21, Fore-street, saddlers' ironmonger, with defrauding him of goods. Ovens was a porter on the premises, and (iota and Jackson were work ing saddlers, who were in the habit of obtaining materials (ruin Mr. Eldred for the purpose apiece work. They took advantage of this, and for a long time rditained goods un known to Mr. Eldred, which they had sold to a saddler in Long-hue, much under their value ' • and the suspicions of ' the latter tradesman being roused, he communicated with Mr. Eldred, and a plan wet laid by which they were de tected. _ A person in the employment of Mr. Duffield proved the sale of several articles under the cost price by the two pri. toners, Jackson and Gault, end in particular of a pair of spare, which were identified by Mr. ?AdriaPs clerk, and which were missed on Tuesday last from his shop. The prisoners were remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. George Grey XingSois was charged with having ob tained numerous Burns of money from di&•rent loan socie ties, by means of false and fraudulent representations. Mr. N'ann , the solicitor who attended for the prosecu tion, intimated that he hail been retuned in no less than 90 eaves of this kind against the prisoner, who, it appeared (ruin the evidence, had been in the habit for a long time past of obtaining money from ass wiations of that descrip tion, under the various names of Blake, Grey, and others, representing himself as a fellowship -porter, when he was not so, and that he wanted the mousy to furnish apart ments, in each case giving ss a surety a person of apparent substance and nepectability, but who ultimately turned out to be acting in collu-ion with him, and after the pay ' mentor a few shillings in some cases, and in others nothing at all, both the prisoner and his surety were found to have absconded. The defence consisted of an admission that the various mnouuts had been so received by the prisoner; but it was contended that the alleged fraudulent representations had nut been established, inasmuch as the prisoner was well known in each neighbourhood by the various names he had 'maimed, and that such assumption was perfectly legal, un less distinct evidence WWI adduced that they hail been adopted fur fraudulent purposes. I. pun several of these cases which were gone into, the prisoner was discharged, as coming within the category of simple contract debts, but upon other, he was remanded fur a week upon bail and rcrognizances to the amount of 1601. -- 3tutthem Matthews, Charles Richard Rurdeft Horatio Slainbrirlye, iiichard Lave, and Francis Williams, live very respectable-looking men, were next put to the bar for further examination. Mr. Lewis, who conducted the prosecution, said that he had an immense number of charges of swindling to prefer against the prisoners, who had passed make an infinite viuiety of names, and by purchasing goods on credit and goring references to one another had liefrAlided tredesema of Rood. to a Awful extent., Mr. John Clapper, a addles and herness-neaker in Lower, Capt.:in-piece, Hackney, stated that about the latter of August the prisoner Welker, who had since passed tithe name of Burdett, called upon him, and requested his attendance at his residence, in St. Anne's-terrace, in the neighbourhood, on the following mornieg. The prisoner described himself at the time as a retired surgical instru ment ni iker, rind stated that hi+ wife was so attached to that locality that it was his intention, if he could induce the landlor I to accept his terms, to purchase the house for 500/. The prisoner then gave him an order fur is set of pony harness of the value of 61., which he made and delivered, and then received a second order for a riding pitch, bridle, driving whip, and two circingles and horse-cloths, of the value of 41. 18a. 6d. more. 'lite prisoner Stainhridge, who recta as the other prisoner's groom, also called to hasten the completion of the order and have his hand fitted to a horse-brush ; but upon delivering the last goods, in the expectat on of receiving his ready money, he was told by a young lady who answered the door that her father was not at home, and upon passing the house a few days afterwards he found it shut up, and that the inmates had all ab sconded. Henry Dubois, sergeant of police, deposed that he held a true bill against the prisoner Walker for fraud, under the name of Charles Meymott, but that he had passed by such a variety of names that it was scarcely possible to ascertain his true one, and that he had been for a long time in search of him upon another charge of forgery. Two gentlemen here stepped forward, and made an nr• gent claim for the restoration of two ponies, which had been found in the possession of the prisoners, but it was decided by the magistrate that they had better for the pre sent remain in the bands of the police. After some further evidenc,-, which went to establish the joint complicity of the prisoners, the magistrate ordered the whole of them to be remanded, and positively refused to accept any bail for their future appearance. An elderly respectably-dressed woman, named Eliza Buekell, was nest charged with being a party to the fraudu lent conspiracy of the last mentioned prisoners. Mr. Norris, the agent of the landlord of the house in St. Anne's-terrace, Hackney, of thu yearly rental of 501., proved that on the prisoner Walker applying to him to take those premises, he referred him to a Mr. Stephens, 18, Penton-street, l'entonville, and on calling there ho saw the prisoner, aho represented herself as Mrs. Stephens, and, having told him that Walker had recently lost his son, which obliged him to remove his wife elsewhere fur change of scene, stated that he hail tenanted a house of hers for 12 years, at Wandsworth, and that a more desirable tenant could not be obtained. He therefore accepted that- pri soner as a tenant, hut found afterwards that. he bad sud denly absconded without payment of the rent. Francis, the officer, proved that on the day after the apprehension of the prisoners in the last case, on returning back to the house in which they were all taken, in Grove terrace, Brixton, he found the prisoner acting as servant in charge of the place, where she remained until taken into custody. The prisoner, who positively denied the charge, and de clared that she did not even know where Penton-street was, and had never in her life before seen Mr. Norris, was also remanded, and ordered to be brought up nest week for re examination with the other prisoners. Four oche' men, named William Jones, George Crowe, James Cowley, and Joseph Johuson, who were transferred to this court from Marlborough-street, upon suspicion of having acted in conjunction with the former prisoners in carrying out their fraudulent purposes, and in whose pos session a number of documents were discovered containing lists of names for reference to each other as fictitious secu rities in their operations, were next brought up, and, after a short examination, were also remanded.

TILE WEST MOOR COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—NEW CASTLE, WEDNESIMV.—'I be inquest upon the bodies of ' the sufferers by the explosion in this colliery terminated yesterday evening, after three days sitting. Monday was occupied principally in taking the evidence of men who had wrought in the pit, who were brought forward by Mr. lirewis, at the instance of the Miners' Association, to show that the pit, mote especially in the district under examine tion, was in an unsafe condition previous to, and at the time uf, the explosion. The evidence, however, failed :to show that the men at any time had complained to the viewer or under-viewer, but proved that the overmen had kept a strict watch over the workings, and had furnished the men with lamps who desired to make use of them. The regulations regarding working with lamps were proved in cross examination to be very strict. There was a lengthened controversy regarding the compara tive merits of the Geordy Lamp, invented by the late George Stephenson, and the Davy. The men were decidedly iu favour of the °curdy. It seems this lamp extinguishes itself upon the presence of gas, and that the gauss of the Davy turns red hot. The Davy Ilea been known to explode in a brisk current of air; but in the district where the ex pkwion took place the air was sluggish. The other wit nesses examined were unable to speak with certainty as to the exact cause of the explosion. The jury, after being e. li s dby the Coroner, returned a verdict of " Aocidental BAIL COURT.—YesTERDAT. .rmsus t. a.m. IN RE THE ARBITBAIION — OTTIRADLEY AND IBBOT NO:V.—APPLICATION TO BET ASIDE AN AWARD ON THE 0140 END THAT THE ARBITRATOR HAD REILsED TO EX AMINE MATERIAL WITBEtottS. . . . . . Mr. Phipson moved for a rule to show cause why the award made in this ease should not be set aside on the ground of the arbitrator refusing to examine important wit nehes. The reference was under an agreement dated the sth of June last, and the award was made on the let of August. Mr. Bradley in his affidavit stated that at the several times appointed for the hearing of the matter he at tended before the arbitrator, and produced three witnesses for examination, stating that their evidence was necessary to prove a set-off to the claim of Ibbotson, who had not given credit fur certain MAIM of money paid him. The arbi trator, however, refused to elAlllitle two of those witnemes. Mr. Justice Erle—Does the deponent state any reason aaaigucd by the arbitrator for not examining them. Mr. Phipson—No, he does nut, hut he swears that the evidence of these witnea ot was important, so as to usable the rabitrator to determine satisfactorily the matters in dispute. Mr. Ibbotson claimed 98f. on account of expenees incurred in travelling over the country with n certain horse named Don Juan. Mr. Justice Erie said he thought it would be more satis factory for the learned counsel to renew his application, stating the grounds of the arbitrator's refusal to examine the witnesses tendered. lie reeallected a motion of u similar character having been made, and subsequently it turned out that the ariiitmtor had refused to examine wit nesses on the ground that the party had admitted the facts is r.spect to which they were called upon to give evidence.

M 1111 l LIWOOD AND FIE3TEE. This was the certificate meeting in the case of them bankrupts, who were described as silk-mercers and drapers. of Leeds. The accounts, pri pared by Mr. Butler, of Ba singliall-strcet, extended over about two-and-a-half ye.trs prior to the failure in August last. The bankrupts awed 2,1221. • the assets were estimated at I,ltl i. ; the profits had been 1,2t)61. • capital, 260'. • lease of premises, 2.541. ; trade expenses, ; losses, a9l. ; partners' drawings, Mr. Parker, for the as,igneeit, said they did not wish to press hardly on the bankrupts, but would call attention to one:or two !'acts. Foster hail represented to Ellis, Hether ington, and Co., that their stuck was worth 9001. in Febru ary last ; and un that representation their bills and those of other housell were renewed. He had also represented that their expenses were only about half their real amount. They bail taken a lease on very improvident terms, which was terminable in the event of bankruptcy ; and thus the assignees suffered a loss. Honour and a tradesman ought not to enter into such an arrangement, mud at the same time pay dear for the premises, it was very unjust towards his creditors, who were thus prevented either from talking an assignment or going into bankruptcy, without forfeiting the value of the lease. were favourable circumstances in this case, the wet* being considerable, and the bankrupts having at once placed themselves in the hands of their creditors ; he would grant a second-class certificate in each case. Mr. 'Purr, fur the bankrupts, said that the outlay in the premises would have been ju,tilied by the resultin their increased business, but that they begait to feel the effects of the Exhibition in May. At the tim: of their stoppage the stock, at cost price, was sufficisnt to pay all their debts. The loss on the lease was very trifling ; and under all the circumstances he hoped the court would grant a first-class certificate. His Honour said, as thoy bad not given a correct repre sentation to their et-Wiwi+, however meritorious the case might be, Ito could nut i ;raut awn: thou feccoud-clu. utrti• &ate,. IN Itti LUCKINd. The bankrupt was Kennington. This was the certificate tnect;rig. His debts were 7501. • assets, about I: ; profits , 134!.; ...11NILIVII and !miner, $2O l. There was no opposition. His liunuur granted a third class certificstc. IN to: VALENTINE. The bankrupt, a aroci-r at Northampton, had come up for his last examination, and had been arrested on leaving the court. Mr. Heath applied for his discharge, on the ground that he was protected in coming to and going from the court. It appeared frorn the evidence of a cinntable (ruin North ampton that the bankrupt had been sentenced to 12 months imprisonment in North antrum Gaol in default of paying a I I penalty incurred .or adulterating tea. His Honour having referred to the 112th section of the Bankruptcy' Law Consolidation Act, said he thought the case of the bankrupt came within the exceptions stated in which the court caned not ordar a discharge. This man had been arrested by reason at a prosecution and convic tion. The court had clearly no power to please under the bankruptcy law, whisurser it might have under the common law. -- Mr. Bagley, as entices curia., being appealed to by the court, said he did not thine there was any common law authority to discharge a person in such circumstances. He reoollected the case of a party named Douglas, who had committed some offence against the E tat India Company, and was arrested un his leaving the court, where he had been examined es a wituess. Here the offence wee against the revenue laws ; and the crown was nut at all controlled by the bankrupt laws. His Honour said this was clearly a criminal wrest. lie had no power to interfere. Mr. ilagley—l think not. I wi.h your Honour had. The Commissioner—Well, I am nut sure whether it would be wisely excreisod u ti ruse, where the man bag been convicted of odultereting 'ea. iN KU His Honour to-day gave judgment upon the question as of what class the bankrupt certificate should issue. He said, I have carefully conaidered.Mr. Brunskill's case, and I think that he is entitled to a certificate of the second close. It seems that he and his urother Charles Brunskill entered into an old established business many years ago with the aid of a Mr. fickler, whose daughter Charles Brunskill, mar ried, but they assumed the business with a very heavy debt due to Mr. Tinkles' fur money advanced to purchase it. That debt Ins gradually increased, and is now con siderably above 20,01M1.
