Mr. Kyseraley said that it was clear it wee • case for the see aces ; and ea the offence upon which the committal would ' take place would be for indicting "grievous bodily harm," and not for • common assault, the bail required would be two sureties in 50i. each. THE ASSAULT BY AN INDIAN' OFFICER AT SUNDERLAND. Thomas H. Levius, lieutenant of the 31st nifim_atilAhiao Infantry, sarreadered at the Sunderland ea Monday, 012 the charge of sessaltiog W.G.

Mr. 00111beilkle Potts, the surgeon, the boy himself, and oae of hisplayaistes, were examined, sad they described the mean ia terms alsailaz to those which have bees already puhliebed. . _ Cooper, for the defence, proceeded to contend that Mx. Potta's statement was exaggerated, and laul strew upon the fact that the boy was present without a scratch or mark on his face. His client was not the ferocious man repro sated. He did lose his temper the beat of the moment, and now regretted it. He had the honour to be decorated with two clasps and a medal fur the protection of women end children, and was specially men. noised in General Wyndham's despatches for his bravery at Cawnpore. His good name ought to be his shield and not his reproach in the time of difficulty. lie hoped the bench would remember his good deeds. Mrs. Lewin, the wife of priioner's first cousin, mid that on the Friday afternoon slie was nisch annoyed by about 20 or 30 lads, from school, bresking into the shrubbery, shout ing, breaking pleats, trampling upon beds, kc. She asked het slake to request Mr. Lewin to speak to them. He did so, sod went quietly after the boy. He took him by the collar, and jerked him out of his hand to • distance of about two yards, sad certainly sot more then two feet from the 'mend. After the boy was taken home witness sent several times different persons to the boy's home to inquire after him, who met with much abuse Miss Ada Prior said she heard a peat noise in the shrub bery, but did not hear what wee said pracieely. About 20 boys were there from the school. She oonsidered the In juries done purely accidental. Mr. Potts wee in an excited state, and took hold of Mr. Lewiee's left arm.

Detective Kidd said he apprehended the prisoner, who =- pressed great regret for what he had done. Mr. Orton, surgeon, said that the use was not &dangerous one. There was no fever, and hence he concluded there had been no cowman= of the brain. The boy only vomited the blood he bed swallowed. Witness, however, did out see him until % bows after the injuries were indicted ; but he was of opinion that the boy remained in Led when he might have been up, dreamed, and at phiy. The magistrates retired for about 15 minute., and then sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 201., oe includingcoste. Mr. Cooper applied for a certificated copy of the Won. THE EXPRESS, 'WE DNFSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1860. would booms the subject of inquiry. Mews. Mulelay and On. yen elated as creditors for 25,0001. They had become liable ca sesomroodation bins for the bankrupts ; their bills were out, and be could not understand how they could be called auditors : it should be put in the ladancealseet as a liatatity. Yr. Model had not paid one shilling on the bills, sad wad not, therefore, be called a creditor. These bills wore oat, and both the bankrupts' and Monday's estate wan liable to the bolder'. It might be convenient for the bankrupts to treat the accounts in this way in their ledgers and in the balanoe-eheet, to prevent a very large amount of accommodation bills appearing on the face of it. These were the moot objectionable features, and considering the voluminous nature of the amount' there bad been but little time for inquiry. Mr. Murray said that with reference to the account of the profits, it appeared in detail in the balance-sheet. It had been gone through by the &mignon, and checked by them. There was no doubt credit bad been given to debtors whose debts turned out to be bad. Their debts had increased, and bankrupts could treat the account in no other way than making oo them those chargesnenally made by persons in their trade. He denied he had made any apology for the Inakrupte ; his dot was to protect the interests of the me ditate, apd he did not feel it neesamay to make charges to-day which bankrupts might not be in a position to meet. - • • - Mr: lenklater propelled to examine Mr. Laurence, one of the bankrupts. Mr. Thomas laurence was examined.—His firm were creditors of Smith, Patient, and Smith, now bankrupts. Before the 30th of June in the present year he knew they had a large stock, and debts owing to them aR over the country. He had reason to believe that they were trading far beyond their Capitol. He knew they were very short of money but thought the legacy they would receive under their father's will would Fiat them in a good position again. He had ream to believe they were insolvent before June last. He said they made • large loss by Payne and Clark, but he thought they would surmount that. He could not say exactly when he first became aware that Smith and Patient were insolvent. Payne and Clark stopped about • year ego, and he was not then aware that Smith and Patient bad mad* such • large km by them. He OM believed that Smith end Patient were insolvent when Payne and (Mark tailed, The Ant intimation he had was in the spring of 1859. Mr. Patient told him they had a surplus of 20,0001. an the 31st December, 1818. ln the erring el 1869 Mr. Herbert Smith told him that Payne and Clark would stop payment unless they obtained assistance. He did not think Mr. Herbert Smith spoke of the propriety of himself or Smith Patient, and Smith stopping payment. He might have told him that they would have to assist him, and Smith, Patient, and Smith, or else he would have to stop payment. He did not think Smith, Patient, and Smith owed him more than 100,0001., if as much es that, when Payne and Clark stopped. He was misled by the amount of credit given to Payne and Clark who ought not to have had it to such • large amount. They (Smith and Patient) now owed him not quite 200,0001. Mr. Herbert Smith waa large debtor ; he was always notified with his imeme.nce that they should not lose one shilling by him. He never heard what Mr. Herbert Smith lost by Payne and Clark. He be lieved it was 20,0001. or 30,0001. liabilities on bills discounted by Payne and Click. He believed he was insolvent except for his mine, on which they agreed to advance him 1 6,0 001. until he we in • position to repay them and take it . He did not think they would ever lose one shilling by Mr. Herbert Smith. At the funeral of his father, in March, told M. Laurence, who was t here, "Your husband shall sever lose one shilling by me." He expected they would lose • portion of the debt of Smith, Patient, and Smith, but in March or April last he did not expect to lose 100,0001. by them. He thought that 30,0001. or 40,0001. would be the maximum. Mr. Smith's share under his father's will was 18,0001. He did not believe they would lose anything by him, taking into account the mine, which was always pat forward as an meet of very consider able importance. Messrs. Ryder and Co. were debtors to them to a very large amount. He was their foreign corre sponding clerk, at • salary of about 1001. • year, when he left their house to go to Park. They advanced him 1,0001., taking as security • policy of menrance. He was ia debted to them in 43,0001. Mr. Ryder we in the habit of sending large quantities of goods to the United States, and to enable him to get goods on the best terms they permitted him to draw on them, he re imbursing them when his remittances arrived from America, and making consignments of leather. They never had rea son to suspect his solvency. They considered him • "safe" man se Menem Rothschild, had introduced him to several large American homes. Mr. Gibson was also • debtor. They had no reason to doubt his solvency. Mr. Schrader, of Glasgow, was a debtor. He had formerly been in the employment of Messrs. Herbert Smith and Co. He did not believe they ever drew on him except for value. He believed the statement that he was • debtor for 1,2221. to be incorrect. They held goods to the amount of 1,2481. Mr. Waring was a debtor for 58,0001. They bad no reason to doubt his solvency. Mr. Hacker was a debtor, and they were liable for him f0r44,0001. Up to Um time of theirfailue, they believed him to be • solvent man. He had some heard that be entered into large speculations in leather in 1857. Mr. Clerk was also Indebted to them 57,000(. They always believed them (Clark and Co.) to be solvent up to the time of the brothel's death. After that they sent him bills which he did not like the look of, and on hie remon strating with the foreman of Clark, he said "They were capitalhills." (A laugh.) They were liable on bills drawn by them (Steestfeild sod Co.). Mersin Draper and Co. were debtors, and they were liable for them on bills to the amount of 52,0001. They did not believe that Drapers were insolvent up to the day that they stopped. They bed half the bilk in their possession, but Drapers owed them the money. After Drapers failure they retired bills to the amount of 25,0001., and Drapers were indebted to them in that amount. The Beek of England required bill. to be taken up immediately, and _they took u_p bills to that amount from the Bank of England bear* Drapinos name. The examination of Mr. Laurence was continued. They had in no one instance charged • commission on the renewal of the bills of Smith, Patient, and Smith since the let of January, 1859. He had heard it before, and there was never a greater falsehood told in the City of London. The interest on Herbert Smith's bills shim that date wee 3,7361. 16e. Bd. The interest on the account of Smith and Patient was 7,3061. The interest was only at the rate of 5 per cent. Mr. Linklater—Did you at any time before the 30th of June believe the fi rm of Streatfeildiuid CO. to be insolvent? Bankrupt—l had not the lent doubt of our solvency. He believed they had a large surplua. They deposited the title deeds of the Trotworth estate for the tint time during the panic of 1857. Their discount account was then 120,0001, and the Bank offered to discount to the amount of 190,0001. upoc the deposit of deeds to 60,000/. They let the bill run down to a moderate amount, and had their deeds down. In April, 1859, they again deposited those deeds on obtaining discount to the arecantalloo,oool. with the Bank. Messrs. Overend, Gurnei 4.. and Co. held sq deed, of the Jeffery-square property obtained an advance of 20,0001. upon than three days be 7 ore they sus pended payment, but when they bad no idea of stopping. About the month of May they had en advance of the City Bask of 10,0001. Instead of discounting bill they had a loan fog a fortnight., which was renewed afterwards. It was the same sort of loan as they had periodically from the Bank of England on four menthe bills. It we, at the latter end of May or the b4nuieg of June they had the loan. On reference to his hooka, he found on the 21st of May they had 5,0001., and on the 28th, 5,0001. It was for a fort night, and it was renewed for another fortnight. He was not pressed by the City Bank at any time. Of the 20,0001. advanced by Overend, Gurney, and Co., the greater part was paid into the bankers. Herbert Smith had 2,0001. cm the 28th of June. He could not say he gave it him to me vent his stopping, but to provide for his bills. His object in giving it to him wee to prevent his stopping. By Mr. Lawrence—Their house bad been arteidished 54 DrMr. Streatfeild and his father wife the founder's. ha d been a partner and clerk for 40 years. Mr. Morti more had been a partner for 34 years. Before their stop page they never failed in money matters; they were always overdone with money. They had an mita:sive credit. He married one of the daughters of Mr. Smith, sere., and she would be entitled to abate in his property. Mr. James Herbert Smith was one of his sons. 'The two Smiths of the Arm of Smith, Patient, and Smith, were also Nona The details of the interest accounts were to be found in the books. The whole of the matters upon which he had boss sucatabiod to-day had been investigated by the amdgases. Noting surprised him more than the failure of Drams. He was astonaded to hear that they Were indebted to their bankers 40,0001. Notwithstanding them Weed. vantages they offered their creditors 15e., subsisquently reduced to 13e. Gd., in the pound. They bad bad destiny with them for 20 years. Payne and Clark were not customers of his ; they were of Smith and Patient, and of Herbert Smith more particularly.

Mr. Linkiter said that the evidence of Kr. Lomas had considerably displaced the information white bed been given to him. Mr. Laurence had had an opportuMty of disproving many rumours which were abroad. He did not, therefore, propose to offer say farther opposition to the bankrupts pianos their examination.

A very serious collision between two Nteamboata, bat which, happily, did ant result in he. of life, occurred at the Tyne on Woodsy_ eight.

This ioaolvmt, who had kept the 4i;i;pulilic-bouse at Woolwich, and who wee opposed by Mr. Sargood for a cre ditor named Driacoll, appeared for judgment. Mr. Commissioner Nichol' gave a judgment of nine mouths from the vesting order, in February, for giving a bill of sale on his public•howie. - IN RI 0101101 WEIRL This insolvent, vrio;i7. ca;;;;14;;the court on Tues day, appeared for adjudication. Mr. hargooel opposed for two creditors named Child and Goelett. Mr. Way supported. The insolvent had married a foreign female, and opened a café in Rupert-street, Haymarket. Mr. Child repaired the premises, and Mr. Gosieft had supplied looking lases, and were creditors for balances. The property had been settled on the wile. The insolvent had been a draper's assistant. Mr. Child had been put to 441. law espenses, and the case was placed before the court as one of contracting debts without reasonable expecbtion of payment. The court considued that the money the insolvent had paid and the time he bad been in prison entitled him to his dis charge, which was ameedingly decreed. THE POLICE COURT& OCTILDHALL. Mr. Walter Charles &marl, for many years cashier in the establishment of the Daily New. and Express news papers, was brought up before Alderman Hale, charged with embezzling various sums of money, amounting in the whole to nearly GOO/. Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humphreys and Morgan, con ducted the prosecution. Henry Whitehead, clerk at the City office of the Daily News, at 4, Royal Exchange-buildings, produced a book in which was the prisoner's signature as receipt for a sum of 211. 14a, which witness pull to him on the 6th of July best. The entry in the book was in Mr. Dunham's handwriting, the signature in that of the prisoner. Witness did not see him write it. Thomas iiedwell Kingsford, clerk to the Submarine Meer trio Telegraph Company, said on the 11th of May last he inclosed a cheque for 291. to the prisoner in payment of an account of 271. 125., and the balance had been returned to the secretary. The cheque had since been paid. Mr. George Frederick Smith said the priaoner had been about twelve years in his employ as cashier. His duties were to send out the accounts and receive monies, entering the different sums in the caah-book and ledger at the time of receipt, and accounting for the amounts by paying the money into the proprietors' bankers to their account. On or about the 23rd of July last they dimmed that the prisoner was a defaulter, and witness told him, in consequence, that be bad a public duty to per form, and that he should perform it. After that interview the prisoner absconded, and two days afterwards witness received a list, in the prisoner's handwriting, of gums which he had net accounted for, to the amount of 350/., and among them was that re ferred to by the first witness. The prisoner had not accounted for either of the amounts received from Mr. Dunham or the Electric Telegraph Company, neither had they been entered in any of the books. Independent of the amount admitted by the prisoner, there was a further sum of 2001., which be had rendere d no account of what ever. . . . . . . Alderman Hale asked if the prisoner had been lost sight of, that he had not been brought ap earlier? Mr. Morgan said that war the ease, and the manner in which the prisoner was taken was rather singular. A war rant was obtained at this court some time back, and placed in the bands of Watkins, a detective cam who was, how ever, unable to discover the prisoner's reaction*, and it wee ally when he was brought to the police-station charged by • cabman with not paying him his fare that the warrant 'odd be executed. The prisoner was identified by Tyler, the officer, who accordingly brought him up under the warrant, . . --- The prisoner, who declined to cron-e was then committed for trial. _ _ BOUTHIFARIL the witneeirs, ElitabetA !owlet, • middle-aged dark-complexioned female, far advanced in pregnancy, was charged with ob taining money under pretence of telling fortunes. Frances Garrett, a respectable-looking young woman, the wife of Robert Garrett, residing in Queen-street, Southwark bridge-road. said that about ten o'clock that morning she went tothe prisoner's house, in Bond-street, Borough-road, with another female, and on being introduced to the prisoner she asked her if she told fortunes, and what she charged. The prisoner told her she could tell her fortune, and the charge was 6d. each time. The prisoner then produced a pack of cards, and asked her to shuffle them. Witness did so, and banded them back to her. The prisoner then counted the cards over, and after a little consideration she told her that she would many a dark man, and have three children by him, and that afterwards she would marry a fair man. Mr. Oombe—But you are a married woman, are you not! Witneas—Tes, sir; and I have three children. My bus. band is a fair man. Of course the prisoner did not know that I Wm married. Mr. Combo—Then the prisoner is out of her reckoning about the dark man. (Laughter.) Witnees—Oh, yes, sir. Before she handed me the surds I paid her sixpence. Sarah Stafford was then sworn—She said • I went with the last witness. Mr. C.ombe--Are you a single woman ! Witness--No air ; I am a widow. Mr. Combe — bid you go to have your fortune told? wita as s_yes, I did, sir ; and when the door was opened we were shown ii.to a dark room, where the prisoner was seated at a table smoking a pipe. (Laughter.) The lass witness asked whether the told fortunes, and on her reply ing in the affirmative we paid her sixpence eich. She told my friend's fortune first, and then she told mine. Mr. Combs—What did she tell you! Witness—She told me that I had been married, and was a widow. Mr. Combs—Well, that's true, is it not! Witness—Yes, sir. She also toldima that I had s sou at Mr. Combe—Ts that true ? Witness—Well, I have a son somewhere abroad, but I don't know where be is. The prisoner also told me that be would come home in about twelve months time, with lots of riches. (Laughter.) Mr. Combs-- Very likely he may. Yon can't tell what may happen. Is anything known of the prisoner! Mr. bokee, the second clerk, informed his worship that au Monday • respectable looking man called at the court sad complained of the prisoner's conduct towards his wife, whom she had made • dupe of, and in consequence of that the prisioner was detected and apprehended. The man in question here came forward, and said that unfortunately for him his wife had known the prisoner for some time, and she had so worked on her feelings within the last few months that she bad driven his wife nearly mod. The latter in consecittence had got into drunken habits, and pledged and sold everything she could lay her bands on to drink with and supply money to the prisoner. g r e c latter bad caused great unhappiness between them, as the prisoner had told his wife,tbat be was unfaithful to her with his servant. The prisoner said that was not true. She should like hie wife to come and say that. The witness informed his worship that his wife was in such a dreadful state, and so afraid of the pri•oner, that be could not bring her forward. The prisoner had gives her • charm in a small bottle, and told her to place it between her stocking and her leg. He actually found it there. The constable who apprehended the prisoner said that she told him that she had told fortunes for forty years, rid had frequently been visited br the firm ladies in the land. The Flows did not deny receiving sixpence each from the Ilwasies, but they gave it her voluntarily. As foe ensaldag her pipe, she had done that for forty yam. Mr. Combs considered it a very nasty practice for • female to be guilty of, bat that had nothing to do with the charge before him. It was clearly proved that she was one of those crafty imposters who succeeded in deluding weekmAnded and he should not be doing his duty mimes he imposed highest penalty the law authorised hint If, therefore sentenced her to three months' hard labour in Wandsworth House of Correction.
