LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 8. ---~-- COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE HENRY TAYLOR. The bankrupt was a druggist, of Newbury. Mr. Chidley presented a petition to annul, under somewhat peculiar circumstances. All the creditors were desirous that the bankruptcy should be annulled, but the health of one creditor was such as not to admit of his Signing the petition necessary for the purpose. Mr. Chidley suggested that the difficulty might be overcome by depositing with the o ffi cial assignee the amount of that creditor s debt. His Honour concurred, and the bankruptcy was an nulled. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RI J. W. ALDRIDQE. The bankrupt was a corn-dealer, of Witham. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Hawkins appeared for the bankrupt. Mr. Cox opposed for the assignees. The bankrupt had, it was complained, traded after he had given in a bill of sale and was hopelessly insol vent. The debts were now 5,5001. ; the assets only ZOO/. The bankrupt, having engaged to deliver to Messrs. Green and Sedgwick a quantity of beans, of the value of 701., in exchange for other grain, had failed to do so. His excuse was, that he had been obliged to sell the beans, to enable him to pay some malt duties. His Honour acquitted the bankrupt of fraud. His conduct, however, in other respects, had been such as to call for a suspension of certificate (second class) ten montts. Protection was granted. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION MOUSE. —Daniel Wilson, a man of about 40 years of age, appeared before Mr. Alderman Rose on a summons, at the instance of Mrs. Elizabeth Tonson, landlady of the Prince Arthur Tavern, Lead enhall-street, charging him with assault. The complainant said—The defendant has lately been managing my business. On the 25th ult. he got very much intoxicated, and abused me because I did not take supper. On my remonstrating with him, he gave me rather a violent blow on the eye. He then knocked me down, and kicked me two or three times. He also knocked one of my teeth out. On escaping to the bar parlour he gave me another blew. I sent for a surgeon, thinking my ribs were broken. I was confined to my bed for a week. I have over and over again desired him to leave my house, and he has always refused. He has had his name painted over ay door contrary to my wishes. I have tried to take it down, but have been prevented from doing so by reason of his -violence. I left my house in consequence of his treatment, and am afraid to go back. lam in bodily fear of him. Cross-examined by the attorney for the defendant—l have known the defendant 12 or 14 years. He never was in any kind of partnership with me. Several times before the day on which he assaulted me he has given me a gentle slap on the cheek, but not in kindness. The blow of which I have spoken discoloured my eye. Mr. W. G. Bennett, surgeon, of Leadenhall-street, said—l was called in to attend the complainant last Wed nesday week. I found her in bed, very tremulous 'and very agitated, and complaining of great pain in her side, which hhe told me was produced by a violent blow. I at first thought one of her ribs was fractured. The pain she was suffering was so acute that had she not sustained a very serious injury of the knee during the last twelve months I should have bled her. I applied leeches, and she has gradually improved in health. T. Morgan, a lodger in the house of the complainant, partially corroborated her evidence. The defendant's solicitor said that the quarrel had originated in an attempt on the part of the complainant to get rid of his client, who had been mixes up in pecu niary transactions with her. He then called as a witness for the defendant, Jemima Hoy, barmaid, who corrobo rated most minutely the evidence of her mistress. Alderman Rose said it was quite evident that an as sault had been committed, and that the complainant went in bodily fear. He should therefore order the defendant to enter into his recognisances in 1001., and find two substantial sureties for 50/. each, to keep the peace for six months, with twenty-four hours' notice of bail. The defendant did not procure the necessary bail, and was eventually convejoa to Holl•way Prison in the van. Margaret July was brosght up, charged with attempt ing to commit suicide. William Nearey said he was one of the piermen at Blackfriars-bridge, and while in his boat near the pier on Thursday afternoon, about two o'clock, he heard re peated calls for a boat, and then saw something floating rapidly up the river with the tide. He immediately rowed to the spot and found it was a woman in the water; but before he could reach her she sank twice, and he then succeeded in catching hold of her shawl and drew her into the boat. She was perfectly insensible, and he thought she was dead ; but he took her to the receiving-house as soon as he get ashore, and the usual restoratives having been applied she was ultimately recovered. Thomas Deadman said he saw the woman run down the steps and throw herself int* the water, and if the pierman had not been in his boat at the time she must have been lost. The prisoner, who said her husband had deserted her, was then remanded, and ordered to be placed in the in firmary of the prison. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mr. Charles Henry Gar diner, the landlord of the British Lion Tavern, in Cavendish-greet, Hoxton, was charged before Mr. Ham• mill with havieg violently assaulted William Hasbutt, a barman, at a public -house in the same neighbourhood, and also with having resisted and seriously injured seve ral police-constables who had taken him into custody. It appeared from the evidence that shortly before ten o'clock on the previous night the defendant entered a public-house in Crossley-street, Hoxton, and ordered some liquor ; but while he was partaking of it in front of the bar he addressed the landlady in such obscene and offensive language that he was ordered to quit the house. Instead of complying with the request the defendant, made his way into the tap-room, and seized hold of a poker, which he commenced brandishing in a menacing manner, and defied any one to interfere with him. After considerable difficulty he was at length forcibly ejected, but he strenuously endeavoured to re-enter the house, and in the course of the struggle that ensued he struek the first complainant, William Hasbutt, a violent blow in the face, which felled him to the ground. While they were struggling together the attention of several police men was attracted to the disturbance, one of whom at once interfered for the protection of the barman, but he was instantly knocked down by the prisoner, who after wards kicked him repeatedly about the lower part of his person until he was almost insensible. Two other con stables who attempted to secure him were also assailed in a similar manner, and the prisoner continued his re sistance until it was found necessary to bind his legs to gether with a leathern belt, and it required the united efforts of six policemen to convey him by main force to the station-house. Mr. Hammill severely animadverted upon the outra geous conduct of the prisoner, and ordered him to pay three separate penalties of 5/. for each assault, or to be committed, in default, for six months to the House of Correction. WESTMINSTER.—Two poor women, named Tones and O'Brien, each with an infant in h er arm., i were charged with wilfully breaking a lamp at the Westminster Chapel. Upon the case being pirtially represented, Mr. Arnold sent for Mr. Elliot, the master of St. Margaret's Work house, in order that he might hear the proceedings. Margaret Long stated that the defendants, at twelve o'clock on the previous night, time from the direction of the workhouse in York-street, and broke the lamp in question. Edward Buckley, 131 B, said that, observing the de fendants with some other women at ten o'clock at night at the workhouse door, he inquired of the porter whether something could not be done for the women with chil dren in their arms ; to which be replied that the house was full, and added at a subsequent period that the master had kindly heretofore taken persons into the lodg e , but was now forbidden by the board. One poor bog, whom witness thought would die, was so cold that s e took him down a mews and wrapped him in some straw,with it was a bitter cold night. with thegtVa Porter of the workhouse, who had attended that the kter, was put into the witness-box, and stated wa ni m o ot o i were at the door at half-past four o'clock in the afte admitted, when he told them they would not be because that wo repeated at ten minutes past five, whether they old them to go elsewhere and see were rnen to get up cited the other ero not get a lodging. Defendants not admitted they and in said if they r w in o g ul t d he sta b a e o ll h , and windows. In answer to inquiries from the magistrate, witne ss said he did not send th em to the officers because they were only in attendance e reli neivia: g till eleven woman n in the as a morning. If a case were very umrnt being taken in labour, or extrergneei such llness, the master would do the duty of a relieving officer. Jones, in reply to the charge, said thatcaatEnte of her, as he time she broke the lamp she did not care what be she and her child were starved with cold and hanger. O'Brien said that her poor child turned bla c k in in the face with the severity of the weather. In reply to an inquiry from Mr. Arnold, Mr. Elliot said the case was as stated by the porter. Mr. Arnold observed that the defendants Were charged with committing an offence of which they h a d been guilty really to get shelter from the inclemency o f the weather. It was truly a horrible state of things that persons should be driven by cold and hunger to outrage the law in this way. It was clear that they had been there from five o'clock till twelve at night, and were not referred to the relieving officers because they were only in attendance at certain times, and if the master under. tit NUN, LONDON', SATUTIDAY EVENINC4. bincEmngrt 46 4. took their duties he should discharge them whenever the necessity of the case required. Whenever persons came destitute wanting relief, it was the duty of the parish authorities to give it. If the house was full, and parties who required food and shelter could not L e ad mitted, the authorities were boiind to administer that relief of which they stood in need, and to which they were entitled elsewhere. It was a very deplorable state of things that persons, particularly with infants in their arms, should be exposed for hours to the inclemency of the weather, in the way these poor creatures had been ; they had been told to go further, but it was evident they could not have fared much worse. They were destitute at the door of the workhouse, and he could not see that they had a right to be told to go elsewhere for that relief to which they were entitled at St. Margaret's. Be was, however, bound to administer the law, and must, he admitted unwillingly, commit the defendants for seven days each, in default of their paying the amount of damage, is. Committed accordingly, 1 CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of public business ; Mr. Deputy Peacock occupied the chair. NUISANCI ARISING FROM THE BLACKWALL RAILROAD. Mr. DAW, the chief clerk, read the following commu nication, addressed to the commissioners : " 11, Crescent, Minories, Nov. 29. " Gentlemen,—l beg respectfully to call your attention to the state of Vine-street, under the viaduct of the Black wall Railway, between America-square and the Crescent in the Mineries. " The nuisance has now become unbearable from the streams of water coming through the railway on to the pavement and on the carriage-way. When it rains the in habitants cannot pass without being deluged with the dirty water from the railway, which water is so impreg nated with iron that it spoils and destroys the clothes of all that pass under. It has not ceased dripping on the pavement for more than two months. " The directors of the Blackwall Railway have been ap plied to to no effect. Being fully aware of your power, I now request that your honourable court will adopt such measures as will effectually stop the abominable nuisance, and allow the inhabitants and the public to pass without being drenched with iron water, er smothered in mud, for in the present state the street is never dry or passable. "Your obedient servant, (Signed) " W. H. BLACKMORE." Deputy Clinisna said he himself had witnessed the intolerable nuisance, and could but express his great surprise that the inhabitants of the locality alluded to had not long ago complained of it. Something ought immediately to be done to abate the nuisance. (Hear.) The Engineer—There is no difficulty at all in putting an end to the cause of complaint if the railway company will incur a trifling expense. They can put up a corru gated screen, which will entirely abate the nuisance. Deputy CHRISTIE—The simple question is, whether this comirission ought not to incur the expense, if the railway company will not do so. Mr. WHITESIDE-1 move that the matter be referred to the engineer to report upon, otherwise the inhabitants may apply to the directors of the railway company to the last hays of their lives. Deputy CHRISTIE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. DISEASED POULTRY IN LEADENHALL-MARKET. Deputy CORK said he understood that one of the com mittees of the court had recommended the sinking of pits in Leadenhall hide market, in which it was proposed to place two tanks as receptacles for rotten poultry until it could be carried away in the carts of the contractors for cleansing the streets and markets._ If such a system were adopted, it would be a nuisance to the whole neighbourhood, especially the India-house, as articles in a putrid state would have to be brought from a distance n baskets, and placed in the tanks. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he understood that carts had hitherto taken away the diseased poultry, and that serious inconvenience had arisen from the mode in which this operation had bean performed. It was now proposed that two receptacles should be provided by the party whose duty it was to receive the decomposed poUltri„ one of which when filled was to be taken away and an 1 empty one substituted for it. On a former occasion the court considered this mode of taking away the refuse, instead of allowing it to accumulate, the best that could be adopted as far as the health and comfort of the sur rounding inhabitants were concerned. Mr. WHITESIDI suggested that something should be done, as at Billingsgate, to deodorise the articles when placed in the pits. He understood it was in contempla tion to have two cisterns, which were to be made to stand upon a sort of platform, and were to be wheeled direct into a cart. This, he believed, was the reason why the plan was recommended by the City Lands Committee. Mr. ABRAHAM wished to know how often it was pro posed to remove the cisterns 1 Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—DaiIy, and the cisterns were to be made of galvanised iron. Deputy CORK wished to know from the medical officer whether the removal of the poultry from one spot to another would not be a great nuisance ? According to the proposed plan the putrid articles would have to be carried across two markets. The Medical O ffi cer—l have , no hesitation in saying that carrying a quantity of putrid matter across two markets will be a nuisance. I am not acquainted with the details of the proposed plan, but shall be happy to put myself is communication with any officer of the market for the purpose of ascertaining what is proposed to be done. Deputy DAKIN—That will be the only practicable • plan to enable the Court to arrive at a just conclusion. • The matter was then referred to the medical officer. The Court then adjourned.

Some of the seed on the strong soils went in rather rough, but the recent fine rains have softened the soil and prepared the seed for germinating. THE ILLEGAL MARRIAGES AT BAMPTON.—Tho Rev. Dr. Giles, lately curate of Bampton, who failed to appear on the 27th of October, in pursuance of recognisances, to answer a second charge of solemnising matrimony, at Bampton clwrch, prior to 8 o'clock in the morning, surrendered himself on the sth inst., under the advice of his friends. The charge having been entered upon, and witnesses sailed in support, the magistrates consulted together, and announced that the case must. be sent for i trial to the next Oxford Assizes. Bail was accepted for Dr. Giles' appearance to answer to the charge. The magistrates next'proceeded to hear another similar charge against the defendant, who was held to bail to appear at the assizes on this charge also. _ _ INCREASE OF THE Tnana OF TUE UNITED KINGDOM —The increase within the last few weeks in the trade of the United Kingdom is perfectly marvellous, and this increase is going on with accelerating force. Take two or three facts, made evident by Par liamentary papers, in proof of this. In the year ending January 5, 1853, the declared value of the principal articles of Britisk and Irish produce and manufactures exported was 71,375,0661., while in the year ending January 5, 1854, it was 87,357,906. In the year ending January 8, 1E53, 29,884 ships engaged in foreign trade, with tonnage of 6,730,169, "entered inwards," and 31,745 ships "cleared outwards ;" while in the year ending on the same day, in 1854, the num ber of ships entering inwards was 35,303, with tonnage of 7,797,650, and there `sere 34,517 ships cleared out wards, representing 7,583,611 tons burden. In 1848 there were but 24,893 ships cleared outwards, with ton sage of 5,051,237. Further, while the value of the produce and manufactures of the United Kingdom ex ported into all the colonies was in 1851 2.807,356, in 1853 it reached the amazing sum of 14,506,5321. TRADE OF DINTZIO.—The exports and imports by land and sea at Dantzie exceeded in 1853 by more than 18,009,000 f. those of the year preceding. The number of vessels which entered was 1,739, and of those which sailed 1,756 ; total 3,495, or 1,159 more than in 1852. The total of the imports was 54,392,000 f., and the ex ports 59,265,000 f. The profits made by shipowners were extraordinarily large ; in some oases they were as much as 150 per cent, more than those of 1852.
