appeared for the Odst!eatiga,„ati4,,gr.,Cobb for the
prisoners. Mr.• Bluck said he rtpreared for Captain
Matshall, the master of the ship, wire' tlialled 4.he
prisoners with mutisy and refusing to do their duty. The
ship hauled into the river, and was all cleared and ready
for teat The prisoners were a portion of the crew, and
refttsed trial their work, so that he had to get riggers
to do the Work: They. repeatedly refused to obey the

in resisting the captain and mate, and the captain
itl
defence had to strike one of them on the head. A flag
was then hoisted for the police, and the men were given
into custody, although it was a serious matter to the
captain to lose a fair wind and tide; but he thought
better to run the risk than to take a set of mutinous
iieri on board the ship. The captain was then examined,

about the boatswain's trunk, aid said' or* of the men
drew a knife, when he struck hini. He beliefid the
prisoners shipped with the intention of committing
a robbery, and then to get away from the ship. In
reply to Mr. Cobb,. the captain denied that he made
any direct charge against the prisoner Campbell for
having broken the chest open. Ordered the mate to put
him in irons. None of them said, "don't do the man
any injury," Charged them-with mutiny when-.they
Wert brought on shore. To Mr. Raffiea—The men
refused repeatedly to do their duty, as I asked them
several times to work, but they would not work, and
went telow. I Ordered then' up several tiniest but they
refused. They were all More or less drunk, and there
was very little difference in their Coridrict, Mr.
Williams the pilot who had charge of the. ship, was
examined,' 'and fully corroborated the statement of the
captain. To Mr. Cobb—He said the captain and mate
acted very quietly to the prisoners; but he said the
captain, in self-defence, struck one of them on the head
with irons that he had in his band. Campbell became
indignant when charged with breaking the boatswain's
box. The boatswain of the ship was examined, and
proved the same facts. Mr, Cobb addressed his Worship
on the whole case, and contended that it all arose out of
the charge made against the men for breaking open the
boatswain's box. lie argued that the captain bad no
right to strike one of the men— Mr. Rattles said be did
not think the captain4vas justified in striking the man
on the head, but still he thought the conduct of the
prisoners very bad'; and, therefore, he would send them.
(except Mulvany, who got the blow on the head) to
jail for six week, and Mulvany for four weeks, with
hard labour. _ _

-77 CHARGE OF BIGAMY.
George Nicholson was brought up on a charge and of
bigamy. • Mr. Bluek appeared for the prosecution,
said he would only offer as much evidence as would
warrant,a remand, as proof of the first marriage was
not yet ready. He then called Mary Ann Nicholson,
who said—l live in No. 13, Oak-street, and was married
to the prisoner two years and a-half ago. He , told me
he had been married before, but his wife was dead. I
have since discovered that she is alive. She was in an
asylum then ; and when I found out that she was alive
I left him. The woman is now alive. Mr. Bluck said
he would produce evidence of the first marriage : the
wife was there, but she could not be examined, and he
would ask for a
.remand to produce the evidence. The
pr:soner was then remanded.
(Before Messrs. HYSLOP, HUTCHISON and CORIaLLY.)

BEERHOUSE CASES.
Mary Payne, Gordon-street, was charged for Sunday
trading. Dismissed.
William Hart, Conway-street, was charged for Sun-
day trading. Dismissed.
Patrick M‘Guire, Adlington-street, was charged for
doing business at one o'clock in the morning. Dismissed.
CHARGE AGAINST THOMAS WINSLOW.
Thomas Winslow, so well known to the public, was
summoned for allowing drunkenness in his eating house,
Vauxhall-road. Mr. Cobb appeared for the defence.
Police-officer 730, said at twenty minutes to one° on
Sunday morning I heard a great noise in the house and
went in, where I got twenty men, the greater part of
whom were drunk. . I went at a quarter to two and
found fOnr men drunk there. Some of them were per-
sons I saw there before. The witness was cross-exami-
ned by Mr. Cobb in a very able manner, as to the
symptoms of drunkenness. Two other Witnesses were
examined, and on cross-examination by Mr. Cobb, they
admitted that Winslow had a very large .trade in the
eating line, and Mr. Cobb showed that Winslow's
butcher's bill was over £l2 a week. lle said if people
went into the house of defendant drunk his client could
not help it. The defendant was fined 20s. and costs.

CAUTION TO VOLUNTEERS.,
Lieut. Kelly of the 4th Lancashire Volunteers, applied
for a summons' against a person who had got a volun-
teer dress in March last, and went away in June, taking
his dress worth £5, upon which he had paid only £2
10s. This offence is contrary to several sections of the
act of Parliament, which were quoted by Mr. Raffles,
and a summons was granted.

(Before •Messrs. CHILTON, CORRALLV, and JEFFERY.)
Several persons were summoned about water rates.
Mr. M'Gowan appeared for the Corporation, and Messrs.
Blackhurst and Almond were for certain defendants.
The question at issue was whether people who occupied
tenements, where landlords compounded for rates, were
to be charged on the gross rent or on the nett rent,
payable to the landlords after certain'other taxes pay-
able by the landlords was deducted. '.l..'he arguments
were uncommonly dry and uninteresting, and at last the
magistrates decided that the rates were to be payable on
the nett rent only.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.)
In re J. H. BARBER & Co.-=-This was an applica-
tion for certificates by John Heath Barber and William
Henry Ellis, who carried on businesss in Liverpool as
iron merchants. Yesterday, Mr. Aspinall, instructed
by. Mr. Woodburn, appeared for the bankrupts, and
Mr: Evans for the assignees, and also for the Messrs.
Wright & North, of Wolverhampton, and Mr. Warden,
of Birmingham, creditors, who had given notice of
opposition. The bankrupt Barber, on examination by
Mr. Evans, stated that he stopped payment on the
24th of July, and that he obtained goods from Mi.'
Warden on the Bth of July, for which they gave him
acceptance at four months date. He stated that since
filing a petition for arrangement in this court on the
11th August last he had expended £5OO, not in his
trade, but for private debts—attorneys, accountants, and
clerks. He was further examined as to transactions in
accommodation bills with one Jukes, and also with Mr.
Hickman, which last exceeded £7,000. Mr. Evans then
addressed the court, and drew attention to the several
items in their balance sheet, showing that their liabili-
ties were £27,000, creditors holding security £22,700,
and that the accounts showed a deficiency of £19,000.
Mr. Evans said if ever there was a case i,f reckless
trading that was one, for the bankrupts had only been
in business four years. He had also to complain of
most irregular bookkeeping, for it appeared that an
amount of £1,500 received in one slim: bad been
entered in the cash book under various dates, and
in several sums.--Mr. Aspinall said his friend Mr.
Evans had not suggested tliat there was any fraud,
and no doubt reckless trading vas a grave matter for
censure ; but, looking at the way the lords justices bad
dealt with that offence recently in the matter of Poolcy,
he hoped the court would not think it a case for with-
holding protection.---His Honour said he considered
that there had been most reckless. trading, and that the
bill transactions with Jukes and others, together, with
the irregular bookkeeping, called for a suspension of the
certificate ; but as no fraud had been suggested, he
should grant protection. The suspension would be for
eighteen months; and the certificate, when granted, to
be of the second class.
• In re JOSEPH INlATnEws.,—This bankrupt, an hotel-
keeper at Holywell, appeared on his last examination;
but the balance-sheet not being filed in time, the meet-
ing was adjourned to the 12th of December. Mr. Evans
appeared for the assignees.

The Times' Paris correspondent has heard that a large
sum of money,, probably not much under 100,000,000
francs, will.be soon asked for the service of the navy.
