BANKRUPTCY COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.)
In re JOHN PARKER HALL.—This bankrupt, a com-
mission agent in Liverpool, appeared yesterday on his
last examination. Mr. Hull represented the assignees,
and applied for an adjournment to give them time to
investigate the accounts. Mr. Harris, on the part of the
bankrupt, consented, and an adjournment was taken to
the 28th instant.
In re GEORGE RoYLE.—This bankrupt, a flint-glass
manufacturer, at Sutton, near St. Helen's, also appeared
on his last examination. Mr. Evans, for the assignees,
stated that the bankrupt's examination had been
adjourned sine die, in consequence of the unsatisfactory
character of his balance sheet. He had since filed a fresh
balance sheet, and Mr. Morgan, the official assignee,
now informed him that, although not satisfactory, it was
the best account he could furnish : the assignees did,
therefore, not oppose his, passing. His Honour, after
hearing the bankrupt's explanation with regard to his
personal expenses, allowed him to pass. The certificate
sitting was appointed for the Bth January.
In re ELIEZER TIMEWELL.—The last examination of
this bankrupt, a cartowner, at Kirkdale, was further
adjourned to the 31st December, to complete arrange-
ments for annulling the bankruptcy. Mr. Tyrer
appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Copeman for the
bankrupt.

THE LIVERPOOL WATCHMAKERS' VOLUNTEER CORPS.
—A meeting of those favourable to the formation of
this corps was held last night, in the Clarendon-rooms,
South John-street. The meeting was, unfortunately,
held in a small room, which was most uncomfortably
crowded by the large attendance. Mr. Stewart pre-
sided, and there were also present Lieut.-Col. Bousfield,
Captain INewlands (of the Engineers), Captain
Tucker (of the 15th), Mr. H. C. Beloe, with other gen-
tlemen. The chairman explained the object for which
the meeting had been called,—it was to establish a
volunteer corps in connection with the trade. The
business of watchmakers was of a sedentary character,
and drill would be found a most necessary and healthy
exercise. The first resolution was then proposed by Mr.
Russell, and carried. It was to the effect that a corps
should he formed, in connection with the already
established Engineer Corps. Several gentlemen,
including Lieut.-Colonel Bousfield, Captains Tucker and
Ncwlands, and Mr. Beloe, then addressed the corps,
pointing out the advantage to be derived from connection
with an established corps. The meeting appeared very
unanimous and enthusiastic in its opinion, and concluded
with three hearty cheers for the Queen.
