He did not me Joao assist to carry water, but noticed that he was the Brat to d raw atten tion to the drawer that was broken open, and to say that no doubt a rubbery had been committed. George Tanner deposed—l em superintendent of the Here fordshite police stationed at Ledbury. In making search 'rat opus this murder I found a cla s p knife in a chest with irawere in Mre. Baker's palour. I found the placers produced in one of Mr. hlesetteld's desks in the offices up- stake. Two prams ti whom I bare shown it state thole belief that it belonged to tlio late Mr. Baker. I produce a piece of cord with • slipknot on it which was found by Mr. Grin under the body. Oa snacking Jones I found the memorandum book produced (in w • are entries made by Jones as to whin he went and what spirits he bought subse 'bunt to the murder, probably written after it beam appa rent that he wee suspect.. d). I found the bludgeon prodiscsd (a stkk with a large knob at the top), In Joss's ban. I searched Jonas myself, and found ten sovereigns In cold, 5.. in silver, and 21d. in copper, and a counterfeit Se, poor. I als,o round postage stamps to the amount of Is. led., all of which I produce. The Coronersaid SupstintendentTanaerhadahown • sound discretion in showing him a totter he had received from de tective Glossop, of Birmingham, impeaching the character of Joss. It appeared from this communication that Jonas 'amen Minato of the workhouse at Birmingham abouttbreeyears ago, and during that limo a female was in theta:oily way by him.

Judo Hill and a...;:Ziiiii...i !NZ QUEEN' I% NTOODNI AND ANOTNIIL-CONAPTRACT. In this case the indictment, which had been removed by eartioreri from the Central Criminal Court, charged the de fendants, Thorne Higgins and George Abraham Davis, with a conspiracy to cheat Oberlin Gruneberg, of his goods end chattels by means of bills of exchange, promissory notes, &c. The defendants plaided not guilty. Mr. M. Chamlxre, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. F. H. Lewis con ducted the prosecution; Mr. Edwin James, Mr. Doyle, and Mr. M'Doonell appeared as counsel for the defendant Higgins ; Mr. &tient Petersdorff and Mr. Metcalfe repre sented the defendant Davis. It appeared from the case for the prosecution that the pro secutor, Mr. Charles Gritheterg a German horticulturist, established a business at Ashb'arnham-park, King's-road, Chelsea, in Inns lest. Having undertaken some improve ments in the likes, he required en advanoe of money, and in the August following be was introduced by Mr. Simpson, of Cremona, to the defendant Higgins, by whom he was !li kened that he could obtain any capital he required. At the rue time, with a view to meet current expense', Higgins drew a bill for 301., dated Sept. 8, at two month', which was accepted by the prosecutor, and discounted by Mr. Oddy, lather, of Lincoln's-inn-field.. The money advanced an Q.: bill was only 20/., and the had, after various appointments, conaidsrat P r ec crtg ashy in obtaining let from Higgins, and that only in three different aunts. On the bill arriving at ma turity it was settled by the prosecutor giving two accep tances for 301. and 9/. 120. 6d. respectively at two months as Interest on the 20/. advanced. In carrying on his specula tion:the prosecutor employed• Mr. Goddard, a builder, of Nor wood, and gave him in the way of business his acceptance for 1001. Goddard endorsed the bill to a Mr. Dennis who obtained judgement on it, and on the 16th of October ITltito execution on the prosecutor's premise. sene day the prosecutor wrote to a Mr. Green, of Edward-street, Portman-square, for en adranos:of 600/. for 12 months, on the mortgage of his nursery, but Mr. Green having discovered be had no lease, retar d the loan. The sheriff's officer being then in posoesion, the prosecutor was most anxious to get him out, and at a meeting held at the Pine Apple tavern, Hungerford-market, between Dennis, the execution creditor, Goddard, the builder, the two defen dants and the prosecutor, It wee arranged that the latter should accept three bits of 21/. escb, and that Higgins should endorse them to Dennis and Goddard. That was done, but the exocrine* was not withdrawn until a judge's order had ban obtained. It was alleged (11 the part of the prosecutor that Higgins and Davie havuag promised to get 3001. for him he had been induced to sign two bills of exchange, he having signed the second on the ground of informality. Him suspicions having been at length excited the pro , ecutor demanded back the papers he had signed, whereupon the defendant Davis grossly abused him, and told him that neither himself nor his wife nor his children should have • bed to sleep on that night. Higgins had registered the first hill of thle as soon as he had been applied to about one of the bills he had given to Dennis, and during the &twee. of the preneutor end his wife, he, accompanied by eight men, gained admittance into the house of the prosecutor. He snipped it completely with the exception of theeervanes box. These goods were on the 23rd of November removed to Higgins's hones, where they ware seized for rent in Decem ber. A portion of them was sold at Ogenbam's auction rooma, in Oxford-street, for 331., and a portionof them value Id/ , remained in hand. After the seizure the prosecutor and his wife had dept on the bond s , and although ho had re wired great kindnees from a friend ha was now only the r instead of the proprietor of the business. In t deft noe it was contended that all the transactions relative to the bills of sale had been bon& Bde, with a view of securing the debta incurred by the prosecutor, and that no case of concert had been established to sustain the charge of conspiracy. The learned judge having summed up, pointing out the Wiest points in the evidence, The jury immediately returned • verdict of Guilty spinet both defendants. fhe defeadaitts were then called, but did not appear, and the prosecution prayed judgment. r. Justice Hill sentenced recta of them to be imprisoned in the House of Correction with hard labour fir nine months. COURT OF (Before Mr. IN RE KAYSTOIC-7H RUPTCY.—MAy 27. skater Fonblanque.) OF PROCEEDINGS raox THE COV STAY. Mr. Linklater applied to his honour (in the absence of the senior commisaimer) for en order directing that the proceed ings in bankruptcy sgainet Mr. Mayston, a grow, at Hud dersfield, which bad been instituted in the court at Leeds, where the bankrupt bad filed his own petition, might be re moved to the London court. The grounds of I.he application were that Merit= bad had large transactions with a tank rapt named Fowler, who bad carried on en extensive busi ness at Bradford. and who had, in the course of a few sold 4,0001. worth of goods to Mayston, upwards of 2,0001. bang still due from him. Fowler had been made bankrupt in the Ledo district; his case was also removed, and was before his honour a few days ago. Though the goods were sold only on a month', credit, Fowler had taken Mayston 's bills at three and foam month. •, some of those bill. had been dismounted and were now held by hie London creditors • and before the bet bill became due Mayston had present ed his petition in the Leeds Court. Beyond his debts on those bills he only owed 1001. • and the assets would not amount to 2001. Mayne= h ad been bankrupt in the London Court three or four years ago, and had never passed his examina tion. In Fowler's case, though the debtors to his estate, 200 or 300 ho number, were chiefly in the neighbourhood of Bradford, the mnior commissioner bad acceded to the appli cation for removal, on the ground that by far the greeter number of creditors desired that the promedinge should be prosecuted in Leaden, and lad me& the order on the au thority of the case "Ex pate Shaw." This case was much stronger. The application was made on behalf of creditors of 2,0001. out of 2,1001.; end it did not appear that there was any estate worth mentioning. Fowler's examination had been adjourned for the production of Mayston ; and if this .dder were made there would be an opportunity of confront tog them. Phelps (from the office of Mews. Reed, Langford. and Marsden) opposed this application. It had not both shows that 'the estate of either Mayston or Fowler would be benefited by treesferring this petition to the London court. The ClOOB Oi " Be pert. Downes" (1 De Gem, 390), and "Empiric Mit chell (3 M. D. mid D., 397), showed that such an order could only be made in cane where there would be a dear benefit to the estate, or thjuatice to the bankrupt was appre hended. It was urged that Mayotte' had tot pa.sed his examination under hie former bankruptcy in this court; but the rule on this point (rule 9) only required that a second petition presented to the same court should be referred to the same commissioner ; sad this was not a second petition to the same court. _ _ _ The Commissioner—You may consider that as settled.
