COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Jmni 4.
(Before Mr. Camillobow Gonlbarn.)
DI Pi VIVIAN. —A DINING ADvarrinuca.

The bankrupt mining therm,
of Old Kent-road, and formerly of Plymouth. His lia-
bilities ware upwards of 3,2001. • no amts. This was the
sitting for examination and discharge.
Mr. Aldridge appeared for the official assignee—no trade
assignee having been appointed.
The bankrupt edinitted that he had been twice before
bankrupt, in 1840 and 1853. His liabilities on those axe-
does had been incurred for other people. Previous to his
last failure be had induced some friends to find the moue,
to work a colliery near Swansea. He was to be paid if it
succeeded ; but he had lost his valuable time, and they had
lost their money. (Laughter.) He paid no divided
under his bankruptcy in 1840. He might then owe 7.0001.
or 8,0001. Under the second bankruptcy be owed 10,400/. ;
and there was no dividend. It was all on account of mining
shares with other people. Some property was settled ou
his children down at Plymouth, baths had no interest in it.
Had the Laomorris colliery succeeded he should have re-
ceived 2,5001., and nu. a year as salary. It was now
worked by other partite, who would reap the benefit of it.
He was sure it would be successful. He had no legal claim
on the new company, but they had promised him a situa-
tion on it at a good salary.
Mr. Howell. for the bankrupt, submitted that he had
every prospect of paying his debts if the speculation had
proved succeeduL
His Honour said that was very dangerous ground to take.
He thought the bankrupt had been guilty of rash and hazardous
speculation, but he would take time to consider the mos.
The question was • very important one, now that specula-
tion was so rife.

THE POLICE COURIS.

WESTMINSTER.

Mr. Algernon Tottealtane,who was charged a few days ago
with sending a singular letter to the Commissioner of Police,
was again brought up.
It was stated that the defendent'm was a lamentable his-
tory. He was a man of good position, and had held a com-
mission in the army. He had dissipated his property and
tired his friends out, and had been absolutely reduced at
bet to selling matches in the streets. In hie distress he bad
written to the Commissioner of Polies, influenced by some
notion that be had the power to interfere to relieve his
necessities. He had written some threatening letters to his
friends, for which he now expressed the deepest regret.
He was entitled to the reversionary interest of some pro-
perty, but could not at present avail himself of it.
Mr. Arnold was reluctant to order him to find bail, which
would be tantamount to a seotesce of imprisonment in de-
fault, and on his assurance of regret required him to enter
into his own recognimace is 11X. to keep the peace.
