M UNIVEITY INTELLIGENCE.—We are happy to state
that Mr. T. J. Edwards, of this town, was yesterday
elected a scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge. It is
somewhat remarkable that for the last three years the
exhibitioners of the Collegiate Institution have succes-
sively obtained this honourable and valuable distinc-
tion —viz., Mr. P. Arthur, Masters exhibitioner in
1858 ; Mr. F. Wainwright, Canning. exhibitioner in
1859 ; and Mr. Edwards, M'Neile exhibitioner yester-
day. It is to be hoped that the Gladstone exhibitioner
may be equally successful at the next election to be held
in June next.

concluded on Thursday evening. The following sen-
tences were passed during Wednesday and Thursday

ROBBERY BY A BARNIAN.—AIfred Harding, who had
been remanded on a charge of burglary at the house of
Mr. Shaw, publican, was again brought up at the Bir-
kenhead Police Court, yesterday. After the examine'
tion of several witnesses, the case was sent for trial.
FEROCIOUS ASSAULT.—At the Birkenhead Police
Court, yesterday, two brothers, of the name of Mooney,
were charged with a violent assault upon a man named
Bennett. The parties were drinking together in a pub-
lic-house at Sutton, on Wednesday evening, and a quer"
rel arose about a pint of beer, for which the prisoners
refused to pay. Bennett was appointed to decide the
dispute and did so to the prejudice of the prisoners, wit°,
on the following day, whilst at work in a field, set upon
the prosecutor, and beat him over the head severely
with their clogs, which were iron plated. The_po°
fellow escaped with his life, and that was all. w2l
brought into court he presented a horrid spectacle„--ir,
wounds on his head and face being numerous ands len
much swollen. The prisoners were committeclier triah
and the injured man conveyed to the hospital).
COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY.—(Beforo Jr.. A. Hal'
ton, Esq)—THE LATE OVERSEERS OP WEST DERBY.
AND THE RATE COLLECTORS.—.IIE. T. B. Musker ate.
Mr. John Downs, collectors of rates in the township at
West Derby, sued the overseers of last year, Messrs-.
James Wensley, Thomas Corkbill, John Pilling, and
Henry Hindle, for their proportion of remunerations
paid by the Corporation to the overseers, fur the Pre-
paration of the burgess list for West Derby. Mr, Isas°
Atherton appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Rime for
the defendants. The claim of Musker was first pro-
ceeded with, and it was agreed that the decision in one
ease should settle the other. Musker sought to recover,
five guineas, being his proportion of fifteen guineas pal'
by the Corporation to the overseers, in respect of the
preparation of the last year's list of burgesses for NV9t
Derby. The overseers could not prepare the hst
themselves, and, as usual, the duty devolved upon
the collectors, who made out the list and attended
the revision court. The practice hitherto had been
for the overseers to divide the money received fro°
the Corporation among the collectors in equal Po;
portions ; and it was urged that the fifteen giline.a_
should be paid over to the parties who.did the work, tae
overseers having no right to pocket the money, sin
they did, not perform the duty for the remuneration of
which the money in question was paid.—Mr. Hitaf
contended that the question involved was purely one
law; that the plaintiffs, as collectors, were bound to do
the work in question as a part of their duty ; that they
were bound to give every Information to the overseer!
in obedience to the order of the Poor-law Bal',
that they were to attend the revision court,
pursuance of the requirements of the Act 11,
Parliament; that, although it would not be contrary 1,,
practice, it was contrary to law to pay over to the n;
lectors any part of the fifteen guineas allowed by Lh
Corporation ; that the overseers held the money, White,
they were prepared to pay to the Poor-law Board if "
verdict were in favour of the defendants, and that they
took their present stand upon public grounds ouly-ej---

LIVERPOOL DISTRICT COURT er BANKRUPTCY, FBI'
DAY.—Re Richard Bevan. This was an adjourned last
examination, and the same sitting had been appointed
for the further examination of Mr. James Bevan, the
bankrupt's son. On the case being called on, however;
Mr. Deighton, who (instructed by Messrs. Fletcher and
Hull) appeared for the assignees, said—Since this Wl-
ter was last before your Honour, an arrangement ban
been come to between Mr. James Bevan and the assir
nees, with the approval of Mr. Bailey and Mr. Tornkin"
son, the two principal creditors, which will, I thinici
render any further examination, either of the bankrupt
or of Mr. James Bevan, unnecessary. At the same tirnei
I think it necessary that your Honour should know whit,
the nature of that arrangement is, because I thin'
your Honour will agree with me in opinion that it prove!,
most satisfactorily that the course which the assigae,i;
felt it their duty to pursue was really necessary for the
protection of the interests of the creditors under thou
estate. There can be no doubt that, on the examinalij
of the bankrupt, and also on the examination of
James Bevan, certain transactions have come to hig
ht
which, but for those examinations, would never have bee
brought before the court. The effect of the investige;
tion which has taken place has been to convince Of
James Bevan, as well as the assignees, that many
of these transactions between himself and his fetbed,
were of such a nature as cannot be supporce
either in law or in equity, against the bankrullo
creditors ; and, inasmuch as there is a eertte
interest in property which does not appear in the
bankrupt's balance sheet—property which has forin b
the subject of examination in this court, and in wince;
the bankrupt has a certain interest which clearly Pnssi,
to his assignees for the benefit of his creditors—it
proposed, with a view of avoiding further litigatio:
that the assignees shall sell that interest to Mr. Jain
Bevan, who will purchase it for the sum of £2,1 -
That, your Honour will see, is a most satisfactoreis
arrangement for all parties. No doubt Mr.
Bevan had originally an interest in this propertYhe
he was entitled to the reversion after the death of t
bankrupt. At the same time the bankrupt himself bad
an interest which has not passed out of him, exeePt.na
the assignees, by the operation of his bankruptcy, '73,
for the benefit of his creditors. The aura which I have me.
tioned seems to be, according to the opinion of all pot:,
—including, as I have said, the principal creditors on
the estate—a fair and proper sum for Mr. James
to pay for the interest of the assignees in that proPf7g,
which he claims by virtue of the several transeSti;a-
which have been brought before the court, between
self and his father. There is another matter whiehhich
have to he inquired into, and that is the amount woo,
Mr. James Bevan claims as a debt against his t of
Whatever the true- amount of that debt may u"tse
course he will have to prove for it as a creditor on tad
estate; and it has been agreed that that shall be invesPtbie,
by Mr, Banner, who is also one of the assigneee.4o of
as I have said, will render any further examine" hat,
the bankrupt, or of Mr. James Bevan, unnecessaitiefter,
of course, if anything should be discovered be„'"e part
it will have to be inquired into, and will form "0 S
of this agreement. I may mention, also, that tilaye to
