COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-JAN. 26. &tamp i Ileaco.(Bet'ore the Lard Chief Justice, Mr. Justice W i rtluau, Mr. Justice Crompton, Aud Mr. Justice H ) DAMIAN AND AM.THEII e. IRETAT..N. This case, which hen occupied the court during parte of three days, liaised a most itup.rtant question ea to the con struction to be put upon the 112th and 257th sections of the Bankrupt Lawn lt"nsolithstion Act (Sat. 12 and 13 Viet., c. lON. The case comes before the court on a motion for the diacharrc of the defendant from prism on the ground of hie illegal detention there. Mr. S. (;rev appeared io support of the motion ; Mr. .1. U. Coleridge to oppose it. The defendant Preenton, who had been an attorney in wiot respectable practice in the county of Glamrapo, was adjutheated a bankrupt on the pith of September last, before the Bristol Bankruptcy Court. The first sitting for the surrender and examination of the bankrupt wan ap pointed for the 2nd of October, mid the soaked for the lith of November. It appeared that after the examination of the bankrupt nn the second day bad been taken, the commissioner, Mr. M. li. Hill, came into court, and having read over the evidence be came to the conclusion that with regard to two of the debts charged against Free dom they had been incurred by fraud. He thereupon re fused to grant the bankrupt any further protection from arrest ; but at the ewer time, in toustquence of theacemiata not being in a sufficiently perfect state, he enlarged the time for completing the examination until Monday, the 3rd December. The bankrupt being at large on the 29th of November, the commissioner, on the application of one of the creditors, granted a sealed certificate under the 112th section of the act, which set I.lli in the prescribed form that the bankrupt was without protection, such certificate having the effect of a judgment in one of the superior courts. Cleo the certificate thus granted the bankrupt was arrested on the even i ng of Saturday, the Ist of Decem ber, and subsequently, whilst in prison, a number of detain ers at the suit of other credttore, and on certificates issued by the omunissiener, were lodged against him. Two questions then arms—first, was the orb giblet arrest ; and if nut, could the (oak rapt _be held in custody on the detainers subsequently lodged against him, and wlkilst he was endeavouring to pro. cure his discharge. Oa behalf of the bankrupt it was urged that under the 112th section a bankrupt is free from arrest and impriaoteneet by any creditor in coming to surrender, sod after such surrender during the time limited for such surrender, and such further tins as shall be allowed him for flubbing his examination, and for ouch time after finishing his examination until his certificate be allowed, or the court shall from time to time by indorsement upon the summons of such bankrupt think fit to appoint, provided he was not in custody at the time of inch surrender. Now, the period for finishing Freedom's examination had been enlarged from the 6th November to the 3rd December, and it wan there- I fore contended that the bankrupt had a statutable protec tion against arrest up to Monday, the 3rd. On the other hand, it was exacted by the 247th 'mike that when the court shall have refused to great the bankrupt any further protection, or shall ham refused, or suspended a bankrupt's certificate, it shall, on the application of the meioses or nay of the creditors, grant a sealed certificate, which shall have the effect of a judgment in one of the sapience warts of Westminster, until the allowance of the bankrupt's certificate ; end the assignees or the creditors to wham according to such sealed certificate, the bankrupt shall be indebted, shall thereupon be entitled to issue and enforce a writ of execution spinet the body of such bank. rupt It was argued, therefore, in opposition to the motion, that the 112th =Won was ovariekku by the Wirth. Last week, in the eases of " Ocfnrd v. Freemen" and "Ch•pman v. Preston," the Court of Exchequer held that the bank rupt was entitled to his discharge, inasmuch as theca. sa on which he win arreated on the Ist of December had been wrongly towed ; adopting the view contended for by the bankrupt's oonneal, that up to the day appointed for the completion d his examination, which wag the led of December, the bankrupt had a statutible right to protection. In the present case, however, the demise, at the suit of Anna Main and Henry Bateman, who are wine merchant, at Stroud, was lodged en the 14th of January, that is to my, mom than a math subsequently to the day appoiated for the adjourned examination ; and the question was whether the buPt < =rriZly kept in prison eould be legally held se • subsequently. Having regard to the authorities anti more especially to the well-known canes of "Barrett v. Price," and " Hooper v. law," it would seem that a distinction has been established between came where a defendant ham been arrested on a writ bad on the fats of it—then the wrongful act is the act of the sheriff ; sod therefore the defendant is entitled to his discharge even as against detainers perfectly regular and subsequently loaded—and cases where the writ is perfectly in order on its raw, bet where it had been wrongly issued in come mimeo, for example, of some inegulanty in the judgment on which it is based, or became of the insufficiency of the grounds on which it Waned. In the latter ace, although the original ca. wk. Noy be set amide, yet a defendant may be held on the sobeequeut detainers. The present case having been argued, as before observed, at great length, lb. Justice Wightman, stopping Mr. Colerii2e g i o : b ilthe middle of hie argument, delivered the written tof himself and Mr. Justice Crompton and Mr. ustice Bill. The judgment was to the effect that, although as regarded the original awed on the let of December, thWr lordships were inclined to agree with the Court of Exchequer that it was bed, yet it was not necessary to decide that point, for whether it was bad or good, they must hold, notwith staudiug the great respect which they entertained toward' the learned barons, that the detention of the bankrupt in prison on detainers lodged subsequently to the 3rd of I.M. camber, the day appuinted for the completion of the final examination, was justified in law, and that he wan not en titled to his climbs's. Rule therefore used. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,-JAN. 2ti. Saitiap at Nisi Pries is Loadoa.—(Balfore Mr. Joetia BAN sad • Common Jury.) RAPIALL r.

Another alleged mirrpeseselatise wee that the plaintiff had told the defendient that he bed sold tit) lbs. of the cigars to Ns. Compton, • neighbouring publican, who had recommended him to the defendant. The plaintiff denied that he had made any such representation, and that he knew the Darns even of Mr. Compton. Upon the question of value there was evidence on both sides, the plaintiff's in being that the cigars were worth the price charged, whilst the defendant's witnesses valued them at Bs. or Is. 6d. per pound. The jury were locked up, and at the end of an hour they seam into court, and said they found • verdict for the de feedent upon the poled that these was only • conditional soh Hie lordship expressed hie opinion that that verdict ceoletioot stand in the face of the two documents which do seethed the treestelion as a mks ; and it would, therefore, he neeers qu ory f estion el or the jury to say whet was their opinion upon the tread.

Mr. fiargood sup ed. The detaining creditor was Mr. Frederick Kings bury, the musical professor, to whom Mrs. !Graham before her marriage had been pupil, and there had been a good deal of litigation between the parties. It will be recollected that • suit was instituted in the Westminster County Court, which was removed into one of the superior courts. The plaintiff had obtained a verdict, and according to the state ment on the schedule, the insolvent had paid tho other side 6.41., and had boon arrested for the balance of 381. debt and coats. His own expenses in the action exceeded 90f. The ori ginal action was brought for 211.195.,and the law costa on both sides had been con side rable.

He had sustained a lose of 127/. by the speculation. These Cirell1114•11011111. as detailed in the schedule. had occasioned the insolvency. Mr. Commissioner Nichols examined the schedule, but put no question to the insolvent. He ordered him to be sworn to the schedule. Mr. Bargood subsequently asked the court to adjudicate upon the case, as the o ffi cer of Whitecromstreet Prison wished to leave with the insolvent, who was his only prisoner. Mr. Commissioner Nichols declared the insolvent to be entitled to the benefit of the act, and ordered him to be dia. charged forthwith. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Newman, of the firm of FresWield and Co., .elicitor to the Beak of England, appeansd before the Lord Mayor on behalf of the Atlantic Telegraph Compani to answer • summons that had been lased against them Cortina FrOliCil 8.N., nadir the Joint Clempaates Act, and which alleged that they bad eieglented fund' to the registrar appointed under the net • list ef the bidden of shares in the company, and fee winds tweed they bad incurred certain penalties. The same el the complainant has been several times before the public in connexion with this company, sad will be remembered that he has upon several occa sions preferred °barges of alleged reflect and improper waded spine Mama. He was also toed at the Central Orbnhial Oran far an tumult upon Mr. Alderman dab:nous ming ad eif eons supposed neglect on his part to attend to • soggiest that had been made by Captain Higgiason IVthe ontapsyr, Ooodwian, the chid clerk, having read the summons, Mr. Newman pleaded not guilty on behalf of the com• pig, and said be vas prepared to show that his lordship bed ao jurisdiction be the matter. Captain Mahon, with considerable warmth, said that he protested against Mr. Newman being heard at all until he bad made his complaint and put his lordship in posses. non of the facts. The hoed Mayor mid he was bound to hear Mr. Newman. He had attended before him to answer a specific complaint, and be had a perfect right to show him, if he ~1d do la legally, that he had no jurisdiction to entertain the com plaint that wee made. He said he must, therefore, request =.4ligginson to sit down 'while Mr. Newman was • the court. Captain Higginson said he would do so, but at the same time he must protest ageism! Mr. Newman being permitted to make a statement Wore he bad gone into his clue in support of the summons. Kr. Newman then said it was true that in 1866 the Atlantic Telegraph Company (Limited) was duly incorpo rated under the - Joint Mock QQoommpaniee Act, and was non dared liable to all the conditions Im pose d by that act upon joint stock companies. In the ft,ng year, however, another act of parliament was obtained, under which, in point et fact, the company as originally constituted, alto geer ceased to exist„ and heaame subject to the Companies Clauses Act, which did not require any register of share holders to bs kept. Notice had been given to the registrar of all these facts, and there was no Ruud whatever for the complaint that was now made by Captain Waleson ; and he said he might add. forth. information of his lordship, that the complainant bad made an application to Mr. Alder man Soloman, at Guildhall, for a similar summons to the =mad he refused to grant it. Hr. Newman then to his lordship the two acts of parliament to which ho bad bo alamisd, and called his attention to the sections talon whit* road. The Lord Mayor, after haring attentively considered the two slatsttm, said it appeared to him quite clear that he had no jurisdiction in the cue, and that the company were no logger bound to do what they were alleged to have neg lected to perform by this summons, and it must Goose quietly be dismissed. Captain thallium, in a loud tone, insisted upon his right to go on with the case. The Lad Mayor said it was no use for him to go into the ease whoa the net of parliament clearly made out that he had no jariadictSwa in the matter.

He then proceeded to make ease etesmatkes in reference to the company, which were not at all, cif a complimentary character. The Lord Mayor said he could not allow him to make such Magmata as these. The summons was dismissed, and be must it down and not interfere with the business of the court. Piaist Waimea% said he would bow to his lordship's decision, but he at the same time declared that he would take steps to hare the conduct of the City magistrates in vestigated in the proper quarter. He considered that he had been denied justice on the present oecuion by his lordship's refusal to go into his case. The Lord Mayor said that he had no right to go into the case when it was quite clear that he had no jurisdiction. Captain Ifigginson again proceeded to_ oomplain of the coon. that had been ado pt ed with isidnabik vehemence, sad huiaidge, one of the officers of the court, went up to him and requested him to leave.

After several witneesse had boeb examined, the case wee adjourned, but the primmer was admitted to bail. Charles Ponder, who had recently adopted the aliaws of Walton and Firth, was brought up on the charge of stealing a horse under circumatauees of a somewhat peculiar And delicate character. It appeared from the evidence of WLeod, a City Aloe; that he hail received information that a person giving the name of Walton hired a Chesnut mare of Mr. Evans, of Whitehorse-yard, Brighton, on the 26th of last month, and that he came to Loudon with the mare, which bad since been found at some livery-stables in Winston ; but, in the meantime, a warrant had been obtained for his appreben sion, cud, on being accosted by WLeod, who met him in the Kit/seised-road, he denied being the party, and said his earns was Firth. M'Leod, however, took him on suspicion, and treated him ea a gentleman by not securing hini as ordinary criminals are held, which indulgence he abused on the first opportunity, and emleavoured to make his escape. The officer, however, pursued him, and, after a smart chase, succeeded in recapturing him, when be admitted that he was the party required in the affair of the horse. Mr. Buchanan, for the defence, explained that this was one of those foolish freaks that young men were guilty of occasionally, and that, although the prisoner had placed himself in a very serious position, he never bad the remotest iutention of stealing the horse or mare, whichever it was. The fact wits, the prisoner was residing with his mother at Brighton, and be hired this horse and came up to London without his mother's knowledge and against her wishes to see his sweetheart. His mother followed him as soon as she heard where he hadsone, and the object of his journey, and insisted upon his going back with her. He yielded to parental authority ; and as the horse was then at the Duke of Wellington Inn-yard, Humbug-nod, Islington, he re quested the livery-stable keeper to forward the animal to the owner at Brighton, add when be ascertained it had not beau done he wrote to Mr. Evans to inform him where the horse was, and it bad since been restored, and he believed that these facts were now quite understood by Mr. Evans, and that he had no desire to prosecute. Aldermen Calder said, as there was a warrant out for the prisoner's apprehension at Brighton, be could not deal with bile here. The prisoner was accordingly sent to Brighton. ♦ young man, who gave the name of Joke Coly wan charged with stealing a watch from the person of William Alcock.

He was standing looking at them, when be heard " a dick," and in the next moment found his watch bad been stolen. The prisoner was the person immediately in front of him, and was given into custody for the robbery. Mr. Auben Voegal, a German, said he saw the prisoner extend his band, but did not bserve that he passed any thing, or indeed that he had anything in hie hand. In answer to an inquiry from the magistrate, it was stated that the watch had not been found. Mr. Arnold asked whether anything was known of the prisoner.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH OP A FEMALE SERVANT AT NORTHAMPTON. (From the Northampton Gerald.) On Friday evening(Jan. 25), about 6 o'clock a cry of '• Fire, fire," was heard in the home of Mrs. Be heir drum, of Mereere-row. Some of the passers-by diately ran to give notice to the superintendent of the engines, and in a few minutes Charles Smith, jun., was on the spot. The services of the engines, however, were not required, as it was not the house, but the female servant, who was in flames. From information gathered on the spot, we ascertained that the poor girl, who had only lived a very short time with Mrs. Berrill, lighted a paraffin lamp, which she was in the act of carrying from one rosin to another, when it accidentally slipped from her hands and was broken. The oil burnt on the ground, and the unfortu nate deceased put her foot on it to put out the blase, when her underdrese caught fire, and from the inflam mable nature of the oil she was imm ediately enveloped in flames, and in less than ten minutes was • corpse. As soon as the flames were extinguished medical amsstance was sent for, and in a few minutes Mr. Birdsall was in attendance, but life was then extinct, and in his opinion death was caused by the shock to the nervous wiring from the burns. The body presented a f spectacle, the whole surface of the body befog y burnt. As may readily be ima ginal, the greatest distress has been caused in the family of Mrs. Berrill by this very painful event, Mrs. Berrill her self being rendered so ill as to req Mis medical attendance. The inquest on the body was held at half-past eight the same evening, before John Beebe. Esq., coroner, when the following evide nc e was produced : Serpent William Smith said—The mom of the deceased was Ana Allard. I went hits Yrs. Benin's in amen% row, in of the my of firs. I found the de ceased lying and her clothes were still on fire. I hays since made inquiries, and satisfied myself es to her identity. I find letters in her box addressed to her in the name c 4 Ann Afford. Emma Caulcutt was visiting at Mrs. BerriWs this afternoon. The deemed was a domestic servant of Mn. Buell's. I was going upstairs this evening, and was craning the passage to go in the parlour, when I law the deceased in the kitchen. She was lifting a paraffin oil lamp from the table, and was about to bring it from the kitchen into the parlour, when she dropped it and stooped to pick it up, when he r dress caught fire. The od was dropped on the floor and was blazing. When her dress caught fire I went down stairs. Before I went down she ran about the kitchen, and all of them ran out of the parlour to her. I went down stairs and called for aatiatanes. Mrs. Harrill took a blanket and wrapped round her. After I went down stain the deceased ran out of the kitchen into the back Yard. Mary Am Benin said—l war sitting at the tea table, when I heard the Lem fan, and directly ran out to see what war the matter. TM pound was in flames, and the decomed put her foot upon it to extinguish it, when her dram caught fire. Mamma called for a blanket, and I fetched her one. The deceased then run out of the kitchen cm to the lead, and down some stone steps into the yard. I went for Mr. Cooley, and Mr. /*dwell was sent for. When I got back they told me she was dead. Mr. W. Birdsall, mopes, got to the house of Mrs. %Trill about half-past five, and, found the body lying in a room. Life was extinct, and portions of the tire were smouldering when I got there. Nearly all the clothes, with the exoeption of the Mays, were burnt off the body, and the whole surface of the body was much burnt. Death resulted from the severe shock to the nervous system arising from the burns, and causing paralysis of the heart. The Coroner said it was a very melancholy circumstance that so young a woman in the prime of life should be cut off in so sudden and frightful a manner, but these could be no doubt it was purely accidental. A verdict of " Accidental die*" was returned. SINOITLAN. CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—At the Brentfced Petty Semions on Saturday, the Rev., Dr. Giles, curate of the rural parish of Perivale, in the county of Middlesex, appeared before Mr. Armstrong and a bench of magistrates, to answer the 4111111SOGs of his church warden, Mr. Hollins, charging Isis with feloniously stealing a leaden coffin and enverting the same to his um. The Ands facts al the case wire these :—Some months ago, while digging in Perivale churcrd for a grave, they came accidentally - upon a leaden co ma. It was removed, and found to contain only a few human bone, and some pieces of decayed wood. A plata was discovered outside the coffin with the following inscription :—" Elizabeth Bolas, died October, 1783." The coffin was deposited in the belfry of the church, where it remained until a few weeks since, when the defendant sold it as old lead for lf. 6,. The remain@ found in the coffin were carefully collected at the time and buried in the ground. The churchwarden finding that the coffin had been sold, placed the matter in the hands of the police, and it was subsequently traced to a marine-store dealer's in Hammer smith. It may also be stated that Perivale is an ax. evadingly picturesque, but very small parish, and condos only live homes, the whole of which are inhabited by the clergyman and parochial officers. Asa consequence, the funerals in the churchyard are very rare. The defendant took possession of the plata upon the coffin, and had with the proceeds of the sale caused it to be inserted in a tablet, which he intended to have placed in the church. It also transpired that the rev. gentleman had obtained the consent of the rector to dispose of the coffin as he might please. An attempt had been made to obtain a clue to the OXOCII - or friends of the deceased woman, and advertisamente had been inserted in the papers by the charchwanien, but without any success. Mr. Sleigh opened the case, and con tended that a felony had been committed. He also argued that any person could be the presemitcr.—The Bench, with. out hearing the evidence, decided that they had no juridic. tion, and left the churchwarden to bring ae action for tree pas', or to take proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court. The gammons was dismissed, the rev. gentleman stating that he bad a complete answer to the case.

(x) TON GOODS. a/mamma, JAN. 2G.—The cotton market has been easier since Wednesday, and the extreme rates previous to that day have been scarcely obtainable, but the serious falling off in receipts at the American ports causes a good deal of uneasiness here, and we have no un !movement in the market for yarns and cloths. There has been some demand this week for light 20-inch printers, but other kinds ate accumulating in stock, with some irregularity in price. In 40-inch India ahirtings there is very little doing, and prices are understood to be very =remunerative at the present cost of cotton to producers. For Gibs. to ailbs. 40-inch shirting' for China there are still some good contracts in the hands of manufacturers, and prices are steady. Loog cloths are much neglected, and in the present state of the Levant trade there is little hope of an early improvement. The sellers of T cloths have also a difficulty in finding customers. With the effect of the recent heavy failure in London, which will fall heavily, it is thought, on some parties here, and the discouraging nature of the &deifies from the United States, India, and the , Levant, our cloth market is in a very gloomy and depressed condition. Nor is the yam market in a better position. There has been some demand for the east, and German buyers have been making some purchases, but as spinners come out of contract and a larger proportion of the produce lie pressed oo the market, prices are barely supported, and some kinds of warp' and cops are about id, per lb. cheaper. The aggregate humus of the week has been small in both cloth and yarn. WOOL —LIVERPOOL, JAN. 26.—Our public sales were brought to a close here last evening, and, considering the large quantity brought forward under the depressing cir cumstances of a stringent money market and the disturbed state oLaffairs in America, the result must be looked upon as sati4actory, as prices generally speaking have ruled pretty much the same as at our lost sales m September.

HARDWARK —BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 26.—The trade of this town in without the slightest animation ; a few orders have come in this week on account of the home trade, but these have been quite insufficient to stimulate busineas, or to give an average amount of employment to the mem of those who are engaged in the trading operations of this town. It is many years, in fact, since it wee so thoroughly dull, and the prospects of improvement appear to be somewhat remote. From the adjoining district the accounts are not more favourable. The price of pig-iron is so low that some of the principal pig masters have resolved to blow out furnaces immediately.

In south country little was done, for reasons previously . assigned, and the same remarks will apply to new foreign, whereas for line old there was a fair, steady sale, extra Dautric and Konigs berg realising 715., and fine old red Wolgast 695., all per 5041 b s. Flour moved off slowly, but in its value we quote little variation of moment. Malting barley was more in quired for, and a good business was done chiefly in Scotch and new foreign, the former making 41s. or so, weighing naturally 53114. per bushel, quality not fine, and the letter, say Danish, being saleable at 40.. weighing 521 b. per beshel. Of foreign a good clearance has been effected, and we entertain a sanguine hope that the first spring arrivals will find a ready sale at good prices. Grinding m less re quest.
