CITY, Two o'CLocK, The demand for discount accommodation gene rally increases towards the end of the year, in con sequence of the settlement of old accounts, and the preparations which are entered into for the spring trade. At present quietude is still one of the prin cipal features of the money market, the exceslive abundance of the supply admitting of a large absorption for financial operations, as well as for commercial purposes, before the rates charged for negotiating mercantile bills are sensibly affected. Symptoms are now apparent, which lead to the impression that bankers and others will speedily be enabled to secure better em ployment for their accumulated resources ; trade, as well as joint-stock enterprise, being conducted vrith more spirit than at any period since the crisis. With the steady growth of confidence, money will necessarily be drawn into circulation, and, as a natural result, the remaining supplies must be pro portionately enhanced. By this process, the public may expect a rise in the rate of discount, as the inevitable consequence of renewed activity in the commercial world. The improvement, up to this time has been slow, but upon the whole it has proved as satisfactory and extensive as could have been reasonably anticipated, looking at the violent and almost universal cha racter of the revulsion of last year. The recovery, however, seems likely to obtain greater celerity during the next few months, owing to the favour able advices from various foreign and colonial markets. It, therefore, cannot excite surprise if the upward tendency of the terms of discount now observable should continue, although some time may elapse before there is any important advance in the minimum. The present charge in Lombard-street for first-class bills varies between 21 to 21 per cent., and the Bank authorities, owing to this fractional advance, have already obtained a larger amount of discount business. The traffic returns of most of the principal lines of railway in the United Kingdom continue to show an improvement when compared with the corres ponding period of last year. A further proof is thus afforded of the increasing activity cf business. In France the same indications are also exhibited. The last weeks's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are, in round figures, as under : 1858. Great Western North-Western South-Western Brighton Midland • 32,650 South-Eastern Great Western Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol and Exeter East Lancashire 6,117 Lancaster and Carlisle Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln North-Eastern North Stafford West Hartlepool 3,042 Edinburgh and Glasgow Glasgow and South-Westem Grand Trun of Canada 10,885 Great Western of Canada 9,681 Lombardo-Venetian Northern of France The Scotsman states that " the liabilities of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank have been reduced to £275,000, which is the sum now due by the bank to the Clydesdale Bank, and the manager of the Clydesdale holds ample assets in his hands, in the shape of cash accounts, bills discounted, and other sums duly coming in, not only to meet all the lia bilities, but to form a fund for distribution to the shareholders, and this in addition to all the bank buildings, which are still undisposed of." The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed quietly, and prices were fully supported. The sales amounted to 9,000 bales. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted, but values tended downwards. The Euxine, with the China and Calcutta mails, arrived at Marseilles this morning, and the letters are expected in town on Saturday morning. A sudden improvement has taken place in the market for Public Securities. The opening quotations denoted heaviness, but a rumour has since been circulated that a large reduction of the French army is about to take place, and speculative purchases have been made in conse quence. The decline of 1 per cent., which took place yesterday afternoon, has been recovered, and the Market presents rather an excited appearance. Consols are 98,1 for money, and 981 for account. Bank Stock is 225. The New Throes are 961 4 ; and Ethe Reduced, 961 y ; Long Annuities, 1860, 1 3-16 ; ditto, 1885, 184- 1. The March Exchequer Bills, 345. to 375. prem.; June ditto, 28s: to 295. prem. ; and the Bonds, 1001. India Loan have been deal in at 99 1 for the first issue, and 991 for the second ditto. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is rather active, but prices tend downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 921 1 ; ditto Scrip, Ist issue, par.; ditto, 2d, 1 ,1 prem., being depressed; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents, are 831 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 91 1 1; ditto Uribarren, 85 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 731; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 471 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 941; Dutch 4 per Cents., 1004 ; and Spanish Passive, 10. The dealings reported to-day in the Railway Share Market have not been very extensive, and, notwithstanding the favourabie character of the traffic returns of many of the principal lines, prices have been slightly influenced by the heaviness in the English Funds. Eastern Counties, Great Westerns, Midlands, North British, and North Stafford have declined 55., North-Eastern (Berwick) and South-Eastern 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been at rather improved quota tions. Paris and Lyons have advanced ss. ; Northern of France, 10s. ; and Lombardo-Venetian, s s• Geelong and Melbourne have improved 55., and Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Western of Canada, and East Indian, realised former values. Joint-Stock Bank shares are inactive, but sustain former rates. In the Miscellaneous Market Atlantic Telegraph shares are dealt in at 340, Australian Agricultural at 341 341, Electric Telegraph, 114, and Peninsula and Oriental Steam, 861.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) A ITSINSON SMITH.••APPEAL.-EQUITY OF REDEMPTION. This was an appeal motion to rescind an order of Vice- Chancellor Kindersley dismissing the plaintiff's bill. The point of contention was, whether a proviso of redemption in a mortgage deed by the husband and wife was per so sufficient to pass the wife interest in the lands mortgaged without fines or recoveries. And whether such interest continued to remain with the power of appointment, not withstanding such mortgage deed. ' The Lord Chancellor considered that where the power of appointment was expressed or implied in the mortgage deed in favour of the wife, the mortgagee took the lands under this burden; therefore, the Lord Chancellor rescinded the order of the Vice-Chancellor of date 3rd July, 1858, dismissing the plaintiff's bill with costs. And his lordship directed the plaintiff to take judgrilent in the action of ejectment, and the defendant to deliver uplthe indenture of 31st December, 1827, and to pay costs of suits. His lordship observed that the lands in dispute, which were of small value (in a remote corner of Cumberland), about the value of £2OO or £3OO (let at about £l2 rent per annum), would be swallowed up by costs. EXCHEQUER COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, Chancellors Watson and Bramwell.) The whole of the early part of the day in this Court was occupied in the hearing the arguments of counsel in an application for a new trial in a case in which the legality of a seizure for rent was called into question. The Court was of opinion that there was no ground for disturbing the ver dict. QUEEN'S BENCH. :Before Lord Campbell, Justices Erle, Hill, and Wightman. BETTS V. CLIFFORD. The learned judges were occupied the whole of the day in hearing the arguments in an application for a new trial for the alleged infringement of a patent granted to the plaintiff Betts for covering the tops of bottles, known as Betts' patent capsules. A white metal had been used in the producing certain coffin fittings, and other similar things, which, it was contended, was an infringement of the plaintiff's right ; but the defendant's counsel contended that such was not the case ; the metal used was produced in an entirely different way, and also that the component parts differed very widely from those which the plaintiff produced his metal, and for which he had taken out letters patent. COURT OF ,BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE SMITH. This bankrupt was described as of Brighton, cabinet maker, and to-day came up for his certificate. The bank rupt had originally petitioned the court under the private arrangement clause, but his proposition not being carried out, in consequence of his not having the money to deposit in court as required by tho Act, consequently the pro ceedings were brought into open court. Mr. A. Read appeared for the assignees. His Honour cousidered the bankrupt had acted properly in coming beforo the court when he found himself in difficul- ties instead of eontinuing.trade:and reducing the dividend for the creditors to 6d. in the pound. There wore some favourable features in the case, but as he had not kept a proper cash book, the certificate could not be immediately granted. It was his (his Honour's) rule to suspend the certificate in the absence of a perfect cash book. Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, urged that the bank rupt had been forward in placing himself in the hands of the creditors, and met with their sympathy, but could not carry out the arrangements, and the creditors were again called, and he was advised to petition the Court. Tho losses might to a great extent be attributed to the loss in the realisation of property. His Honour granted a certificate of the second class after three months' suspension. Protection granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERIOUS INJURY THROUGH STONE THROWING.—Sarah Payne, an elderly woman, was charged with seriously injuring a young woman, named Caroline Lawton, under the following circumstances : The prosecutrix, whose face was enveloped in a surgical bandage, and who evidently seemed in great pain, said that on the previous night she was crossing Earl-street, Soho, when she suddenly felt herself struck in the face in a vio lent manner, causing her to fall into the road and to be insensible for a few minutes. On recovering her senses she felt intense pain about her nose, and the blood was pouring from it profusely. She then found that she had been struck by a stone or large piece of brick. She was taken to a surgeon's, who dressed the wound, but the }Hemorrhage not ceasing, some hours afterwards she was taken to King's College Hospital, where it was found that her nose was completely slit open, and it was sewn up. She believed that it was not broken, however. The prisoner said a parcel of boys had been annoying her and stealing apples from her stall, when she went after them, and of course threw the trick at them, but she did not mean to hurt the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix said she saw nothing of the boys. A female named Dawson said she saw a boy running round the corner of Earl-street, and saw the prisoner, who was in a great passion, throw a piece of brick in the direc tion of one of the boys, but it went nowhere near him, it being thrown almost at random. The prisoner was-remanded, to see the result of the pro secutrix's injury. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Nov. 11.—Wind this day at noon, S.E. ; moderate breeze and fine.

BOAT-RACE FOR £BO BETWEEN J. CLASPER, OF. NEWCASTLE, & FRANCIS OF TEDDINGTON. When the match between Henry Clasper and Thomas White was made it was arranged that a race should come off next day between the son of the former, a lad of 20, and Francis, of Teddington, apprentice to Messenger, also 20. It was thought that the London man would be victorious, and betting was 2 to 1 on him, although, as a sculler, he had never distinguished himself; while young Clasper, on the contrary, had rowed against good men at Newcastle, Norwich, and Manchester. The sequel, however, showed that the backers of Francis had made a mistake, and that he must improve wonderfully before he can beat a good London man; while young Clasper looks as though he would show well both in the provinces and on the Thames. The usual amount of interest created when Newcastle is opposed to London . ..occurred on this occasion, and two steamers en gaged to convey spectators were quite full. As on the pre vious day Mr. Leithead was umpire for Clasper, Jas. Mes senger for Francis, and H. Kelly, champion of the Thames, referee. The toss having been won by Clasper, they took up their places. At the going off Francis was slightly ahead, but Clasper was soon level with him, and after they had rowed a quarter of a mile there was no doubt as to which would win, for Clasper was then well ahead. Francis once br twice put on a spurt, but Clasper immediately drew fur ther in advance, and ultimately came in an easy winner by six lengths, performiug the distance in 24t minutes. Tho course was Putney to Mortlake. THE MEMBERS FOR SHEFFIELD.—A meeting of Messrs. Roebuck and Hadfield's committee was hold on Monday, to consider the propriety of inviting them to address their constituents. A resolution was proposed to the effect that it was inexpedient to ask the members to come down until the basis of a Reform Bill had been agreed upon. An amendment was moved, proposing that the members be invited to come down as soon as possible. Ultimately the motion was carried, that the members are not to be invited at present. It was moved that a public meeting be convened of the inhabitants of the town on the subject of Parliamentary Reform before the borough mem bers be invited. This was carried. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.—SOUTILIMPTON , Wednesday.—The screw steamship Catalina, Captain Ar_- gent°, came into dock thi s afternoon considerably damaged,e having been in colli s i on w ith the screw freightship _M545 Mel bourne, off the Start. The Catalina is a new ship of I tons burden, and 300-horse power, and trades u nder Spanish flag between Hamburgh, Southampton Spanish ports. On the present occasion she was, and bound o o ' ff clo t c h k e , frStoanirt th 3 e .es S t p er a d n a i s y h m po e r r l u s iu mr at a faullqucaarrtgeor, b a e n f d er Ni e l at cn she came in collision with the screw steamer Melbourne, going down Channel. The two ships ran stem on to each other, the Catalina carrying away her cutwater and bow sprit, and otherwise injuring her stem. The Melbourne left Portsmouth on the previous evening, from whence she had embarked a detachment of the 41st Regiment, 100 strong, for conveyance to Calcutta, and was on her way to Dublin for other detachments. After the collision she pro ceeded on her passage, although it appeared to those on board the Catalina that she was greatly damaged. It is impossible to obtain the particulars or cause of the acci dent, as the captain and crew of the Catalina are unac quainted with the English language. There were no lives lost on board the Spanish vessel, sho Will immediately go into dry dock for repairs, THE POTS, 'RADFORD. The reports as to the three deaths at Leeds would appear to be unfounded. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Leveratt, the chief constable, sent an officer to in quire for Jane Stead, at 41, Croft-street, Bradford, but the officer was unable to find such an address, or any woman bearing the name which she had given. He found, however, on further inquiry, that such a person as he described had, been in several parts of the town, relating the same story, apparently in great distress, and exciting the com miseration of the charitable, by the story which she also told of her great poverty. As she levied contributions from many, she is believed to have been an impostor. The Mayor, in his address to the Town Council, on Tuesday afternoon, referred to the terrible calamity which had occurred, and be not onl3- urged liberality on behalf of those who were suffer ing from sudden bereavement, but expressed a hope that the painful crisis would not be allowed to pass away without a public meeting being held in the town in order to initiate steps to ensure such mea sures from the legislature as would give greater protection to the public, not only with regard to the selling of poisons, but also the adulteration of food. On Tuesday morning Mr. C. Jewison held the adjourned inquest on five of the bodies lying dead in Bradford, viz. :--Eliah Wright, Ann Shutt, Joseph Sc o tt, Orlando Burran, and John Henry B urran. The evidence was somewhat similar to that which has been delivered now on several occasions, not only before the magistrates, but the coroners. The medical witnesses were Mr. J. W. Bell and Mr. William Coates ; Mr. F. M. Rimmington, analytical chemist, was also a witness. The evi dence went to prove that all the five deaths had been caused by the eating of peppermint lozenges, which had been bought at the stall of William Hardaker, and also that the lozenges contained a large amount of arsenic. At the end of a five-hours' sitting, the jury re turned a verdict to the effect—" That death had been caused by eating lozenges containing arsenic poison ;" at the same time—after referring to the fact that Hodgson, Goddard, and Neal had been committed for trial—adding that " they could not refrain, while leaving these persons in the hands of the magistrates, from expressing themselves in terms of the utmost condemnation of the practices to which some of them had resorted, and their horror at the results."

BLAKEMORE, M.P.—We regret to learn of the sudden death, on Sunday last, in his 57th year, from apoplexy, of Thomas Wm. Booker Blakemore, Esq., of the Leys, Herefordshire, and of Velinara, (Ha morganshire. M.P., for the county of Hereford. The de ceased gentleman was the son of the late Rev. L. Booker, LL.D.,and assumed, by royal licence, the name of Blake more, in accordance with the will of his uncle, R. Blake more, Esq., in 1855. Ho took an active part on the pro tectionist side in the free trade controversy, and was a strict member of the conservative party. He was first returned for Herefordshire in Sept., 1850, without opposition.

ALLEGED INSULT TO A BRITISH CONSULAR AGENT AT RHODES.—Letters from Rhodes, of Oct. 23, published in the Esperance of Athens, furnish an account of the facts that hud induced the English Consul to inter ruptj his official relations with the local authorities at Rhodes. " The English consular agent residing at Castelo rizo had heed insulted by, some Turks, he sent in his report ofit to the Consul at Rhodes, who demanded full satisfaction from the Government for the injury done to his agent. He insisted that the accused parties should be brought to Rhodes and severely punished. The 'Turkish cutter sta tioned in the harbour was immediately despatched and brought back to the city the persons accused by the consu lar agent ; but instead of having them punished the gover nor allowed these individuals to go at large in the city, de claring that ,he could not punish them by imprison ment before they had been tried, and if found guilty condemned. The consul then proceeded is per son, and dressed in full uniform, to the hose of the go vernor, and declared to him that his allegation was a subterfuge, and that if the accused were not instantly sent to prison he should consider his refusal a fresh insult to the honour of Great Britain. But the governor's decision was not to be shaken. On his return home the consul struck the Briti s h fl ag, d ec l are d i n a note to t h e gove rnor tliathi official relations with hi m h a d cease d, and that ho h a d con signed to the French consul the protection ofthteheQourdeeenrss subjects.

Journal ' de Calais s ays We have good news to give of the electric cable. The Submarine Company charged Captain Monsar, of the Douro steamer, to ascertain in what precise spot the rupture took place. He began raising the cable from Dover, and after continuing for 12% miles found the rup ture. He buoyed up the end, and :hien went to Calais to raise the other portion from the French coast. He found the end at 2t miles from Sangatte, and buoyed it up also. Experiments proved that except at the point of the rup ture the cable was in good order, and a junciion of the two ends will immediately be effectel." FRIGHTFUL DEATH FROM A SINGULAR CAUSE.— On Monday an inquest was held before Mr. Hereford, City coroner, at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, respecting the death of William Andrew, Back Mount-street,'Har pulley, aged 33, labourer in AI.-foundry. The deceased, according to the evidence given by his mother-in-law, com plained on Saturday night last of a pain in his stomach. He determined to foment it with spirits of turpentine, for which purpose he soaked a flannel which h e w o re with' the spirit. In a short • time, wishing to see whether the tur pentine had begun to produce marks of irritation upon the skin, he raised the flannel, and incautiously brought a candles so near to it that the inflammable vapour ignited, the flannel was instangy in a blaze, and flamed above his head. The turnpentine upon the ;.kin also took fire, and the poor man was fearfully burned before assistance could be rendered. He was co'nveyed to the infirmary, llut ex at noon the following day. The jury returned a ver dict of " Died by accidentally setting fire .to a ilawiel soaked w spirits of ttupentines" GAS CONSUMERS AND GAS COM PANIES. IMPORTANT CASE. In a case tried at the Lambeth County Court, yes terday, " Spratt v. The =Metropolitan Gas Com pany," great interest was excited, and the court was densely crowded. Mr. Gay appeared for the plaintiff, a beer-shopkeeper, of Victoria-place, Hen= and-Chicken-lane ; and Air. Robinson, instructed by Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, for the defendants. The facts of the case, though simple, involve a point of immense importaii66 to both consumer and supplier, and are .0 follow :—Plaintiff applied to the dofendanti on the Bth of October last to have gas laid on to his house, he requiring four or five lights. He was informed by them that he must pay 40s. in advance and 2s. 6d. for labour. This he declined, and call ing again on the 1 1 th, was again told he must pay the 40s. before any gas could be laid on. Plaintiff replied that he could compel the company to lay on the gas without his paying any deposit, and added that he had joined the Gas Protection Society. Still defendants refused, and hence the present action to recovor £2 damages sustained by reason of defendants' refusal to lay on the gas. For the defence, Mr. Robinson, in a most able and energetic speech, endeavoured to show that there was neither statute nor law which compelled the company to supply plaintiff with gas without he complied with their terms. He contended that the advance was not only a legitimate demand, but one absolutely necessary to secure the company against loss. All the companies did the same at discretion. The company made no express or implied contract to supply the public at its own terms, and therefore defendant was entitled to a verdict. The learned judge (Mr. Pitt Taylor) was clearly of opinion that the defendants were bound by their act of Parlia ment, which he considered to be a contract entered into with the Legislature to supply all her Ma josty's subjects with gas upon reasonable terms. Ii this case defendants had no right to demand £2 from a person in plaintiff's position. ft was an injustice, and plaintiff was entitled to a verdict.-- Verdict for £2. THE BATTLE OF BANK.RUPTCY. F Punch.) Yesterday the ca s e of rom Judas Penniboy, bankrupt, came on again in the Bankruptcy Court before Mr. Commissioner Profane. Mr. Brown attended for the assignees, Mr. Jones for several creditors, and Mr. Robinson for the bankrupt. The following scene ensued : Mr. Jones—Before resuming the discussion of this important case, your Honour— Commissioner—l suppose you call it important, sir, as a hint to me to pay more attention to it than I should otherwise do. I can tell you that I shan't. Now then. Mr. Jones—l meant nothing, your Honour. Commissioner—No, your words never have much meaning. I will say that of them. Go on. Mr. Jones—lt is difficult to go on, sir, in the presence of this kind of remark. Commissioner—ls it ? Who cares ? Do you think it is anything to me whether you go on or net ? Where's the newspaper ? Mr. Brown—l would submit, sir,— Commissioner—You'd better, sir, I can tell you that. Everybody had better submit here, if they know what's good for them. Mr. Brown—l would submit to your Honour that my friend, Mr. Jones— Commissioner—Oh ! is he your friend ? Wish you joy of your friendships. Noscitur sociis. Very good article this in the paper. (Reads.) Mr. Robinson—lt is satisfactory to me, your Honour, as representing the bankrupt, to see your opinion of the persecution to which this ill-used man has been subjected— Commissioner—l never said he was persecuted, sir, nor thought so. I'll trouble you not to put words into my mouth. (Throws down paper.) Are we going to be all day ? Is the case to go on, or not ? Mr. Jones—lf your Honour would do me the favour to listen— Commissioner—You have no right to ask me a favour, sir. lam a judge,—at least so lam given to understand,—and therefore it is my duty to listen when anything that is fit to be listened to is said to me. Mr. Jones—l humbly hope to induce your Honour to class what I am about to say in that category : Commissioner—What's category ? What do you use such a word here for? It is not a legal word. It would do for a charade—My first's a cat, my second's a vowel, my third is bloody, and my whole is a nonsensical word uttered by a pedantic attor ney. Send it to the London Journal, sir; our busi ness is with the London Gazette. Mr. Jones (in a great rage)—Your Honour is so painfully facetious that I must await your return ing to a more judicial frame of miud. Commissioner—l don't know what you mean by judicial, but the bankrupt's a Jew, and I am going to dish him. Now, what's your application ? Mr. Jones—The accounts which the bankrupt, so properly described by your Honour, — Commissioner—l don't want your good word. Mr. Jones—Far be it from me to give it you, sir. The bankrupt's accounts, then, are, I unhesi tatingly say, entirely incomprehensible. Commissioner—He's not bound to find you accounts and brains too, you know. Mr. Jones—He is not, sir. But these accounts are evidently cooked. Commissioner—lf you can't address a court of justice, sir, without using slang phrases, you had better sit down, and hand your papers to somebody who can. Mr. Brown—l will not go so far as my friend— Commissioner—Who cares how far you go ? Only mind you don't go too far with the Court, that's all. Mr. Brown—l must say, sir, that menaces are things I am not accustomed to hear from the lips of judges of much higher position than your Honour. Commissioner—Then they don't know certain advocates so well as I do. Mr. Brown—l endeavour to discharge my duty. Commissioner—l shall discharge the case if 3-ou don't leave off talking and come t o business. What point do you make ? Mr. Brown—The unintelligibility of the ac counts. Commissioner—Deuced long word that (counts on fingers); one two, three—eight syllables, by George ! I should think you could say adiboron tiphoskiphorniosticus. Well, you can't understand the acccounts, you say. Bankrupt—S'elp me, they're all right, my tear gentlemyn—all as right as ninepence. They `•as drawed hout by me and my friend Boscs Isaacs, as is as hupright and promiscuous a gent as you'd not meet nowheres ; and they took us all ahobbus vas a week, him and me with. On my honour, it's, all serene. Mr. Jones—l hear no rebuke of the bankrupt for talking slang, Mr. Brown. Commissioner—lf you talk at me, Sir, I'll commit you. How do you answer the b ankrupt's state ment, Mr. Brown? Mr. Brown—l havo no doubt that he and the accomplice he names made up the fi g ures, or that they are worthy of them. Commissioner—Who's wort h y of what ? what's justice? w orthy of whom ? Who's they ? What's them ? Is that the way to address a court o f r m Lh_a_t i ? t is impossibl e t o repose any faith Wk i e r r . e ß 's o in such adocument. Commissioner—(to himself)—This hat doesn't wear so well as the l as t I had. To be sure, that was in the summer ; and this one has been at the seaside, which makes a difference. Mr. Brown—lf I might ask your Honour's at tention. Commissioner—l think I'll have the next more turned up in the brim—more shape about it. Well, what now ? _ . Mr. Brown—Suppose your Honour were to ad journ the ease ? Commissioner—Suppose the moon were made of green cheese ? _ _ _ Mr. Robinson—l protest. I claim that my client do pass. He has had a great deal of unmerited trouble ; one of his wives has run away ; he has burned down his house, and the Insurance Com- pang resist payment ; a little speculation, by which he humbly hoped to retrieve the wreck of his for tune by passing forged notes, has not succeeeded, and if he had erred he has suffered, and this Court will not be the engine for bruising the broken reed. Bankrupt (howling)—lt's air true, s'elp me Abrahams, Isaacs, and Jacobs. Commissioner—l don't sec much in this case. (Walks out of court.) Brown Jones —But, your Honour, if you please— Robinson Commissioner (from 'Washing-room) Wher e ' s the soap ? Bankrupt—Ain't I/Pass, your 'avenly Honour ? Commissioner shuts the door. [The solicitors look at one another, and remark that this is a pleasant state of things. They wait for some time, and then take their bags and go away. After a time the Commissioner re-enters.] C o mmissioner—Judas Penniboy, you reseal, do you think I'm not up to you ? I commit you for the rest of your natural life. I left my umbrella here. Have you taken it ? It would be just like you. No, here it is. Go to prison, you scoundrels The Cart nithilravo.] Stock Stock' Sto ck Stock 10 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 25 Stock Stock Stock Share) Shard Sharel Stock' Stockl Eiqo
