Two of those now making r': .ti F~liration bad concurred in the choice, and at that knew all the facts now put forward in support of the O. „ I Honour suggested that the official assignee should be I with the assignee in the appointment. and this was to. (Before Mr. Commissioner Getilborn.) IN RE GEORGE scrros. Ins bankrupt, a licensed victualler, of the Leighton Art., Holloway, was recently lessee of the refreshment m. at the Farringdon-street station of the Metropolitan Exilwar. His order of discharge was opposed on the ground cf contracting debt! wheel insolvent. His Honour now gave judgment. He mid that one re= c.arkable point in this case was the mode in which the hank :.pt had denuded himself of all he possessed. There was vLat was called "a change," in reference to both his places business. He now came before the court owing 2,100/., nod the &sesta of 501. would not be enough to pay the cost f the proceedings. One of the creditors, K. Mackenzie „•id Co, charged the bankrupt with contracting a debt .4 170/. at a time when he moat have known that be could not pay the debt. The assignee in this case, Mr. Joseph Hart, accountant, who had held an te r; sl position in that court, had rendered a most clear state- Trento( the bankrupt". affairs, from which it was evident tat he was in &deficiency of 1,7001. at the beginning of this ear. It was urged on the bankrupt's behalf that he did cot know this at the time, bat no trader could plead igno rance of his own affairs asap excuse for WI icting grievous i wrong upon his creditors. This being so, in the following ' • - •inth be gave the order to Messrs. Mackenzie's traveller. He alleged that be had only ordered half the amount of wines and spirits supplied ; but if so, why had he not re turned the rest! Shortly after getting possession of this property he made "a change" in the refreshment rooms. A very singular law appeared to regulate those "changes." The brewers, distillers, and wine merchant's met, and divided the proceeds among them ; but Messrs. Mackenzie had been exempted from this distribution, and were justly aggrieved. The favoured creditors had • dividend of I.la. 44. made up to them by the bankrupt. Nothing could be more culpable than such en arraagement• The bankrupt next disposed of the Leighton Arms, and in a fortnight afterwards came to this wart. With regard to the Metropolitan Refreshment ROOMS, it sopeared that each was the profit anticipated from the undertaking. that people came in from Australia to bid for it, and offered 2001. over the bankrupt's head. There were mazy marvellous things in commerce, and this was one of them. The bankrupt, when be ordered Mackenzie's goods, rust have known that rein was staring him in the face. ibis was a practice which eaght to be put a stop to, : i striking at the very root of credit and fair ploy ; and the wart would do its best to check such proceedings. This was not a ciao in which the court would stn to an extremity, t..e man having been in business for 20 years, and having probably been deluded as to the value of the refreshment r , onis. The justice of the case would be satisfied by ens ismdiog the order of dischar g e f or s i x mon th s , protection }sing given for three months. But for the favorable circum stances the court would either have refused protection or stutenoed the man to imprisonment. IN RC T. BURROWS. The bankrupt was described ass stock-jobber, of Angel. court. Throgmortou-street. At the last sitting a proposal was made for taking the case out of court under,tbe sec. 110; r •I this was the adjourned sitting to consider the proportl. Mr. O. H. Lewis, on behalf of the bankrupt, now asked fr another adjournment. Owing to the illness of the soli. c.t.r for the creditors they had not been able to complete the necessary Hu Honour, after referring to the 110th section, was of opinion that he bad no power to grant a further adjourn c.eut, There is therefore an end of the proposal for the acs-nt. The total liabilities are about 12,1301. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAT.) SOUTHWARK. COMVITTAL OF A WOMAN FOR As , Aa.TING HKR HCSBAND.

Oa looking down the garden he saw two men get over the fence and run across an adjoining field. He pursued and captured the prisoner, who was without hat, coat, and boots. After proceeding about 20 yards, the pri soner said he would not go any further until witness ob tained his boots, and on asking him where his boots were, he merely said " up there."

Near the larder window witness found a hat and coat, in the pockets of which were four spoons, a pair of sugar tongs, three tope of mots, a card case, a • 'het book, and a purse containing money.

This morning, about half-put 1 o'clock, a colli sion of a serious nature took place at the Slough Junction. It seems that previous to the time mentioned a narrow gunge goods train bad been shunted on to the off rails on the centre of the line about midway between the up and down station. Through some, at present, unaccountable mistake, the points leading from the up main line to where the goods train was standing wee, closed, so that when the up parcels train which left Bristol at 9.25 last night, and should have run clean through the station (it was travelling at the rate of between 30 and 40 miles an hour), reached the points in question, the broad gunge engine of the parcel train, instead of entering on the main up line, turned on toy the points through which the goads train had paused, and after missing two or three car riages struck with fearful violence several of the trucks and vans crashing into them with a drealful noise, sad breaking several of them up. In the meantime the broad gauge parcels train continued its course, although several of the carriages composing it had sustained great damage—a composite and second class ctirisge having Lad their aides nearly smashed in, and the large break van being crashed in like a bonnet box, and ultimately got off the rails into the six foot,when it stopped, the works on its aide where it had dragged against the tracks sod vans of the goods train, being partially swept away, and the locomotive disablcd, while several of the carriages, vans, and trucks of both trains, were overthrown and the debris piled up, completely blocking both up end down lines. Richard Cowell, the driver of "The Lethe," the parcels train engine, and the stoker escaped, as did the guard of the goods, whose van was passed by the parcels train engine before it struck hie train. to ! 111.111r=sy I. 100 Furth ea 100 Do.

A few days ago we reported the flooding of a cord pit at Leeswood, war Mold, Flintabire, and the consequent drowning of eight men from the flooding of water from the old workings. The efforts to get at the place when the bodies of the unfortunate men are supposed to have been continued up to yesterday with unabated energy, but without success. On Monday, one of the horses in the pit at the time of the flood wan found alive in the working. The poor animal was standing with only the upper part of his neck out of the water, and in this position we. fed with gruel by a miner, and was afterwards brought to the surface. On Tuesday, two other horses were found drowned. The pumping of the water is continued night and day, and every exertion used to get at the bodies. At the time of the flood a man named Lewis Lloyd was seen by those who escaped to run before the rushing water into an old driving, out of immediate danger, but beyond hope of escape. On Tuesday night a noise of some one knocking was heard in the pit, and the men believed this noise to proceed from Lloyd. Another accident, however, frustrated the endeavours of the men to get at the place from which the knocking proceeded. This was caused by the falling in of a portion of the roof. The portion which fell crushed one man to death instantly, and injured °then. 10 an :Atkallc&St. Lawrence St. .100 ,Boin-1Pie.&C.1a...6p.c 10 Do. F Nana 10{ a/1 'Buffalo & lake Huns 10 at Do.

At 7 a.m. it came on a strong vile from the E.S.E., with a heavy surf on the beach, and as there wee great doubt of the cobles reaching the shore safely, the Filey lifeboat belonging to the ' National Institution wee at otos launched and accom panied the cobles until they all got safely to the shore. On such ciodurions the presence of the lifeboat gives toe fisher men fresh courage, and they accordingly work their craft with reamed energy. Thus the lifeboat often contributes to the saving of the lives of • large number of persons as well as the preservation of property of • considerable amonat to these poor men.
