(PRICE 7D.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 17. to the prisoner's house, and questioned him about the table. He denied any knowledge of it, but on searching his premises the property was found. The defendant said the warehouse where the table was found belonged to his father, whom he had em ployed, according to directions from Mr. Avery, to distrain on Mrs. Simmons' goods for the 4s. 6d. due for her rent. The defendalt said he could prove this by the evidence of Mr. Avery. He failed to bring him forward in the evening, and the case was adjourned. Several poor people, whose goods the defendant had seized, and who, although they tendered him the money due and expenses, he put at defiance, were clamorous in their complaints of his injustice, in keeping some of them for nights without a bed to lie upon ; but the Magistrate said their only remedy was by actions at law ; a remedy which the poor creatures said they had not the means of seeking. in the opinion that the information against you has been fully established; and we, therefore, inflict the full penalty of 10/. on you, and condemn the dele terious article.

Wh en the sugar is completely melted, 'lter th e whole in an enclosed funnel.—French Scien tific Journal. The question in this case arose upon the con struction of the 128th section of the Bankrupt Act. The bankrupt had paid exactly 10s. in the pound, and now prayed the Court under that section of the Act to order his assignees to pay him the allowance of 5 per cent., which he contended they were bound to pay him under these words :—" If the net pro duce of his estate shall pay the creditors who have proved under the commission 10s. in the pound, he shall be allowed 5 per cent. out of such produce." The COURT decided that these words, taken in conjunction with those of the 129th section, where " shall have been paid" was used, and with the closing words of the 128th section, which gave the bankrupt, at the discretion of the Commissioners, a sum not to exceed 3 per cent. if less than 10s. in the pound were paid, and with the 7th and Sth clauses of 5 George ll.,—that looking to these cir cumstances, the meaning of the Legislature was not to give the bankrupt 5 per cent. unless the ultimate and final payment to the creditors was 10s. in the pound, and that where 10s. in the pound was not paid, the 5 per cent. upon that 10s. was to be given to the bankrupt out of a fund plus the 10s. Per haps in this case the proper course would have been for the Commissioner to have declared a dividend of less than 10s. in the pound, and to have made the bankrupt, if he had so thought fit, an allowance of 3 per cent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man of respectable appearance was brought before the Lord Mayor under the following peculiar circumstances :—The constable of Aldgate watch-house stated that on the preceding night the prisoner knocked at the watch-house door and said that he wanted to give himself up, as he had com mitted the crime of forgery, and could get no rest ever since. Witness took the charge of the young man, who seemed to suffer much uneasiness. The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner what the amount of the sum forged was ? The prisoner said he had forged art order upon Mr. Cox for 201. in the name of his father, who was a Captain of Ma rines. Fortunately, Mr. Cox had refused to pay the money, so that no injury was done to any party. Although the offence was detected, there was no willingness to prosecute—a circumstance which he regretted, as the result might have been his removal to some place where he might not be so miser Able. The constable said he had his apprehensions about the state of the young man's mind, as he had found on the prisoner some gunpowder and balls and the duplicate of a pistol. The LORD MAYOR then questioned the prisoner's aunt, who was crying bitterly at the forlorn condi tion of her nephew. She said that her nephew was a most mild and amiable young man, but that of late his mother's cruelty to him had given him so much pain as almost to change his nature. From the moment of his birth the unnatural parent had conceived the greatest abhorrence of him, and, like the execrable mother of Savage the poet, had done all in her power to accomplish his destruction. She had succeeded in estranging her husband's affections from the poor outcast, so that he had nobody in the world to protect or pity him, except one. The LORD MAYOR—What could influence the mother to cast him off? The Aunt—She is my sister; hut I know of nothing that can extenuate her offence. He will be entitled to some property in a short time, and his mother has been at work to prevent his inheritance. Transportation would, she thought, have that effect, and she was, therefore, most anxious that he should subject himself as soon as possible to that penalty. The LORD MA - vox—Then he does not live with his parents ? The Aunt—No ; ever since he was seven months old he has lived with me. He shall always share whatever I have. lam sure that he committed the forgery merely to do that which might satisfy the hatred his mother bears towards him. The constable handed to the Lord Mayor a letter addressed by the prisoner to his father. It contained the following words, at which his aunt almost fainted :—" if you have any regard for me, proceed against me for mercy's sake, and by so doing you will enable me to escape from my native land—a land I have been long taught to curse—and in a foreign clime find the shelter which my home denies me." The Loin MAYOR advised the prisoner to hope for better times, and remonstrate with his father upon the weakness of yielding to the unfeeling sug gestions of his mother. The aunt said it was quite useless to endeavour to prevail upon the mother, whatever might be done with the father. The prisoner said he had received a good educa tion, and was able to support himself without being an incumberance to his father, who had never ex pended a halfpenny upon him. The LORD MAYOR then discharged the poor young man. Thomas Walker, a labouring man, was charged with having stolen some parcels of lace and other property, belonging to Mr. Ellenborough, of Milk street, and Mr. Mottram, of Old 'Change. The porters of the two prosecutors were, it ap pears, acquainted with the prisoner, and employed him to assist them in carrying home goods, to the ♦alue of about 150/. They suddenly missed him at the corner of King-street, Cheapside. Some days after wards the prisoner was stopped at a pawnbroker's shop, where he had pawned a veil, which was worth for 55., and soon after offered a lace cap for pledge. Daniel Forrester said that the prisoner confessed to him that he had made away with the goods. Parr of the goods was found in a field, and some parcels were traced to sundry pawnbrokers, who had ad vanced no more than a few shillings upon p roperty of considerable value. Mr. Ellenborough stated that the property he had lost was worth about 501., but that ten years ago it would have been worth 1,000/. The LORD MAYOR asked what caused so frightful a depreciation ? Mr. Ellenborough stated that the extraordinary, the almost incredible improvements in machinery, and the competition in the French market, resulting from the free trade system, almost destroyed that which he followed. He had given 5,200/. for a lace machine some time ago, but it was immediately su perseded by an improved one, and would not now sell for 200/. He had seen several poor men, to whom he used to pay 2/. ss. or 2/. 10s. a week, sweeping the streets at Nottingham, and supported in the workhouse. The prisoner said that his poverty had tempted him to commit the dishonest act. He was then committed for trial. BOW-STREET. A broker, who is much employed in seizing the goods of people in humble life for rent, was charged with having stolen a table, the property of Mrs. Simmons, of Crown-street, Soho. Mrs. Simmons said she rented a house from a Mr. Avery, at 4s. 6d. a week. On the 29th of October she was in debt a week's rent. On the Monday following, during her absence from home, her house was entered, and two of her doors having been broken open, a table was carried away. The same evening she paid her rent, and she also ascertained that the defendant had been seen with the table. v. A poaceman, named Rickards, said that he wen On Saturday, the driver of a Hammersmith om nibus, named Wyclierbow, was summoned before Mr. CONANT, for having endangered the life of William Gibbon, owner and driver of a cabriolet. The complainant had just taken his place on the stand in Oxford-street, when he perceived the de fe►►dant, who appeared to be racing with a rival omnibus, coming along at full gallop on the wrong side of the way. Before he could jump off his seat the wheel of the omnibus caught the wheel of his cab, and turned it completely over upon him, throw ing the horse down, and doing considerable injury to the animal. Two witnesses corroborated the statement of the complainant. Mr. CONANT said the present was a case of a very aggravated description, and he should there fore fine the defendant 4/. The conductor of the omnibus having made use of violent threats towards the complainant in the office, was ordered to find bail before he quitted it. WORSHIP STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—A man, named Brionble, was charged with robbing his em ployers, Messrs. Clark and Co., ironmongers, in Shoreditch, to a large amount. The prisoner had been in the prosecutors' employ for several years, and he always bore a good character. About a week ago they received an anonymous letter, informing them that the prisoner was robbing them by whole sale ; and, on an officer going to his lodgings, 24 dozen of brass fender feet, several coffee-mills, nails, copper articles, and a number of duplicates for pro perty belonging to Messrs. Clark were found. The prisoner was remanded, the prosecutors stat ing that they had other charges, of a more serious nature, to bring against him. CURIOUS CHARGE OF POISONING.--Rebecca Wiltshire was re-examined on suspicion of having attempted to destroy her husband by arsenic. The prisoner is much addicted to drunkenness, and she and her husband have led a very quarrelsome life. The husband stated, that two months since he came home and found a pudding left for him. After eating part he became very ill, and it was several days before he recovered. His son, aged 10, was also taken ill the next morning after eating some. The boy told him that he saw his mother put some thing from a paper into the pudding, when she was making it, and he asked her what it was ? She said, " Why, my dear, it is moist sugar." The pudding made his head ache, gave him a pain in his stomach, and made him ill for two months. Mary Wiltshire, aged nine, examined by the Ma gistrate—She said she knew nothing about the pudding, but, on another evening, her mother put something into a dish of pickled salmon, and desired her to give it to her father. Her mother then went to bed, and she soon after heard a voice (not her mother's) say, " Don't give it to your father, there's poison in it." She in consequence threw it away. The parish surgeon stated that he was called in to attend the husband and the boy, and he found them suffering under symptoms of cholera. No thing was then said about poison, but the effects de scribed might have been produced by arsenic. The husband having suffered two months to elapse before he made the charge, the Magistrate discharged the prisoner. QUEEN- S QUARE. IMPORTANT TO CARMEN AND OTHERS.-Mr. Faulkner, the proprietor of a stone, brick, and lime wharf, at Chelsea, and Mr. Levy, the lessee of the toll-gates at Queen's Elms, Hammersmith, &c., at tended to answer each other's complaints, which involved questions of the most important nature, as affecting the interests of carmen and others. The first case was Levy v. Faulkner. From the evidence of William England, one of the collectors at the Queen's Elms-gate, it appeared that on the Bth in stant, the defendant's cart, laden with bricks, passed through the above gate. The carter had passed through Fulham-field-gate. the ticket for which stated that it cleared the Queen's Elms-gate. He, instead of presenting this ticket, presented one, from his inability to read, which he had received on the 6th instant, and, although he was informed it would not exempt him from toll, he refused to pay. Mr. Levy said he did not intend to rest his case upon the mistake, but upon his right to toll at Queen's Elms-gate, although toll might have been taken at Fulham-field-gate. He read the clause in the Act, which states, that carts passing through the turnpike -gate, laden with bricks, stone, lime, timber, iron in bars, lead in sheets, &c., were liable to pay toll every time they passed so laden. Mr. Faulkner ohjected to this view of the case, and a long conversation ensued, respecting the man producing the wrong ticker, which terminated by Mr. GREGORIF. observing that, under the present cir cumstances he considered the case proved, but he should mitigate the penalty from 51. to five shillings and costs. The next case against Mr. Faulkner was for re fusing to pay at Queen's Elms-gate for a load of brick:, the toll having been paid at Fulham-field, and as it was not entangled with any other circum stance, as in the previous case, it resolved itself into the plain but important question—whether a cart laden with bricks, lime, coals, &c., as above enu merated, was or was not exempt from the payment of toll at the Hammersmith, Kensington, and Queen's Elms-gates, after paying at Fulham-field gate. A witness proved that the defendant's cart passed through Queen's Elms -gate, without paying the toll demanded. Mr. Faulkner contended that Mr. Levy had no right to alter the tolls without the consent of the Commissioners, who provided the tickets, and not the lessees. Such a toll had never before been de manded. He had three carts, which passed three times a day each through these gates, and if he was to pay a shilling for every load, instead of three pence as hitherto, it would increase the demand from 40/., which was allowed by the Act, to 164/. 15s. per annum. In ordinary cases the toll was only de manded at one gate, when a tick e t w a s given which cleared the other three gates for one entire day. It would, therefore, be in opposition to the meaning of the Legislature to suppose that carts laden with any of the prescribed articles, after payment of the toll at one gate, should not clear the others, as in ordi nary cases, with this difference, that the latter was liable to toll every time of passing so laden, while others were exempt the whole day. Mr. GREGORIE said, what was he to do when the Act stared him in the face? He, however, would postpone the case until Tuesday se'nnight, for the satisfaction of himself, when the defendant should not only have his (Mr. G.'s) own opinion, but it •hould be backed by ethers, far more capable of de ciding upon the case than himself. The case was accordingly postponed. SHAMEFUL CONDUCT OF AN OMNIBUS CON DUCTOR.—A young man, named Vine, conductor of one of Mr. Pierre's omnibuses, running from White chapel to Chelsea, appeared to answer the com plaint of a female named Digby. It appeared the complainant got into the omnibus at Whitechapel, and rode to Sloane-street. She gave the conductor one shilling for his fare, but he demanded another sixpence for her luggage ; and as she found he would not give up her property unless she paid him the extra sixpence, she gave him another shilling to take the demand. When he gave her the bundles, he said she had given him but one shilling. This was stoutly denied by the complainant, when the de• fendant made answer, " Well, never mind, you owe me sixpence !" and then went away. The father of the complainant had since made application to the defendant, who denied having received more than one shilling. The defendant, in answer to the charge, however, confessed having received the two shillings, and said he charged one for the luggage. Mr. GREGORY convicted him in the penalty of fifty shillings and costs. His master would not pay the fine, and he was locked up. UNION-HALL. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF ADULTERATED MEAL IN PRINCE'S-STREET, LAMBETH.—Mr. Russell, of the firm of " Mines and Russell," was summoned on ,an information, charging them with having on the premises occupied by them in Prince's-street, Lam beth, a certain mixture called carbonate of lime, for the purpose of adulterating meal. A waggon, con taining three tons of the adulterated substance, which had every appearance of flour, was seized on Thursday by a city policeman, as a carman was taking in the sacks to a granary in Prince's -street, Lambeth, belonging to Messrs. Cancellor and Coward, but now in the occupation of Messrs. Mines and Co., to whom it had been let for the purpose of warehousing meal and flour, the articles in which they dealt. Mr. Russell having pleaded not guilty to the offence, evidence was then adduced of the seizure, and also of the deleterious nature of the ingredients, and a witness was examined, named John Barker, who stated that he was placed in charge of No. 33 wharf, City Basin (the place from whence the ar ticle was sent to the granary in Lambeth), by Mr. Perkins; he has seen defendant there on two dif ferent occasions with the workmen. Witness had frequently heard the men at work all night, and had seen ten bags of sawdust and also several bags of whiting on the premises. He had also seen some waggon loads of stuff resembling oatmeal, sent away, which, owing to the caution observed by the workmen, and the circumstance of their always working at night, excited his suspicions for some time, and he at length gave information to the city police. A sample of the ingredient in a baked state was here produced, and great laughter was excited upon Mr. Chambers saying that he had been informed that the article was intended for the consumption of Don Pedro's army. The cake exhibited was of a dark brown colour, the carbonate of lime being pre dominant, and, if intended for human food, must have been productive of great injury to the stomachs of those who partook of it. Mr. Russell said that he was ready to admit that Messrs. Cancellor and Coward were in no way whatever concerned in the transactions upon which he was summoned to attend, with the exception of that firm merely letting the granary, where the sei zure was made, to him and his partner. A book was produced with an entry, in the de fendant's hand-writing, of the receipt of flour and meal, and also an article called rounds, at the gra nary in Prince's-street. Mr. CHAMBERS said that evidence was given to satisfy his mind that a deleterious article was found on the premises occupied by defendant, and unless he could prove otherwise, he rendered himself liable to the penalty attached to the offence. Defendant—l can easily explain the matter; the fact is, the article that has been seized is a mixture of Scotch pollard and whiting ; that is what it is composed of. Mr. CHAMBERS—For what purpose was it in tended—was it not for the adulteration of meal ? Defendant—Certainly not ; it was intended for the production of images, such as the Italians hawk about the streets, and also for the stucco work of ceilings, and other work of that description. Mr. CHAMBERS said that his opinion was, deci dedly, that the article was for the purpose of adul terating either meal or flour, and not for the manu facture of images or stucco work. It was evident, from the appearance of the ingredient after under going the process of heating in an oven, that it could not be applied to the purposes alleged by the defendant in his explanation. The Italian figures were made of a beautifully white plaster, and a mixture of such an article as that seized must ruin the colour. Defendant—The article, however, does not be long to either myself or partner; we are merely the wharfingers, and it was sent to us from No. 33 Wharf, City-road, to be housed. Mr. CILAMBERS—It has been given in evidence, that you were seen on the premises from whence the article was sent to Lambeth, and where, no doubt, it was manufactured; and unless you can rebut this statement, and also prove that it was sold to the image-makers for the purposes you have alleged, the impression on my mind remains the same ; and that is, that you and your partner carry on the manufactory of this pernicious ingredient at the City Basin Wharf, and then have it sent to the granary at Lambeth, to be mixed up with meal, and then sold to bakers and mealmen. Defendant—We have no dealings with bakers or niealmen ; and only acted on t his occasion as the wharfingers. The defendant then called the Mi gistrate s attention to a note directed to him from the person who sent the article from the City Basin to Lambeth. Mr. CilamßEas said that he had received an epistle that morning from a man, signing himself " Bogan Honnyghan," in which the writer, who scarcely spelt a word right, claimed the seizure a . his property, and declared the article was not for human consumption. Defendant—l hope this letter will satisfy your mind that the article does not belong to me or my partner. . _ Mr. CHANBERS—Indeed, it does not satisfy me on that point by any means ; for you have been seen on the premises yourself in conversation with Mr. Bogan Honnyghan, the Irishman, and it has been proved that he is in your employ. Defendant—l'll bring the man who makes it and he will avow the fact himself. Mr. CHAMBERS-:Wilere is he ? Why is he not present ? Defendant—Because I have not had time. It was late last night when 1 was served with the summons to attend. _ .... ...5„..... Mr. CIIIMBERS—You knew the seizure was made on T hurs d ay, an d t h ere f ore had abundance of time to p ro d uce ev id ence to c l ea r yourself of th e charge if you could. The case must be decided this day. Defendant—l can only declare that I was con cerned merely as the wharfinger, and that I have had nothing whatever to do with the manufacture of the article.

CORN.-We have had a moderate supply of Irish Wheat in since Tuesday, but the prevalence of adverse winds pre venting any extensive arrivals, those of other grain are light, and of Flour and Oatmeal about 2,000 sacks each. The operations in the Coin trade from Tuesday until to-day have been generally of a limited character, without any material change in prices. At our market this morning, having very few country buyer in attendance, and the town millers being much on the reserve, the demand fur Wheat was extremely languid; the sellers at the same time, with very few exceptions, ad hering steadily to our last quotations, we have no decided alteration to note in prices. Fine bright English malting Barley remaining scarce may be considered full as dear as last week, while all other kinds, upon a very dull sale, are rather depressed in value. Prime Malt only is salea ble at former prices, the inferior qualities being wholly un noticed. Beans and old Pease with difficulty maintain our last quotations, but good new builing Pease, if any at hand, would readily command 465, to 48s. per quarter. Oats, and Oatmeal, although not of brisk sale, were in rather better demand, at the rates of Tuesday. Flour dull at late prices.
