Rurroao ♦ND WILAOOI.3.

The inquiry into the Bromagrove Bank affairs suceeeded
that into the Stourbridge, reported in yesterday's Express
Mr. Francis Buford, having the entire management of
this bank, was first examined. It appeared that he had
emaciated with him In that management a person named
Smith, who his absconded on amount of the frauds he has
committed. The balance-sheet in this bank extended from
1841 to 1861; in the former year there was a balance due
to the customers of the bank over and above the receipts of
the Yew Tree Roues estate (Mr. Rufford's residence), which
was valued at 20,00 W. On the lit of January, 1840, the
arm had credit to the amount of 170,00 W., all of which
might be called in a month ; and all the available money
they had to meet it did not amount to more than 19,3971.
The bankrupt admitted on a former examination, and he
now repeated, that the system of country banking was
defective; for that, owing to depositors requiring such a
high rate of interest, the bankers were obliged to transact
their business on insecure investments. The bankrupt
spoke to transactions with a firm, Moen. Fardon and Gee-
sage. These were of a most extraordinary character. These
persons were introduced to the bankrupts " by letters from
highly respectable parties," sad upon such recommendation
they allowed an overdraw to the extent of 60,0031., although
during the time that debt was accumulating two returned
notes of that Ann passed throogh the bank. Ultimately
Fardon and Gooey sold their entire property to the British
Alkali Company for 130,0001. The bankrupt (Mr. F.
Raiford) became chairman of that company, but notwith-
standing the fart of this purchase money passing to Fardon
and Gorge, the bank at Brontscrove sever had the pre-
caution to secure the 50,0001. owing to them, but, instead,
allowed the debt to increase. Mr. Gossage i. now passing
through his examination in the Liverpool Bankruptcy
Court, but where Mr. Fardon Is he (Mr. Rufford) did not
know. The following was the state of the Bromsgrove
Bank at the time of the bankruptcy:—Debts, 227,8261.
9s. 2d., to meet which there was only 18,0001. During
eleven pin and a half he (Mr. Rufford) had drawn out
of the bank 68,8691. 14s. 10d., for which the beak had no
security . After a further examination by Mr. Elgie the
pprocsings closed at 7 o'clock, end the case stands ad-
journed to Wednesday week.

THE POLICE COURTS.
GUILDHALL.

P/w4e Slieppari was charged with wilfully destroying
her husband's property.
On Saturday last James Sheppard, the husband, said
that he married the prisoner about throe months ago, since
which time she bad been constantly in the habit of break-
ing his furniture and everything within her reach when-
ever she was in the least angry, and generally finished by
proceeding to her father's house, end repeated the same
process then.
Sir Peter Laurie thought her of unsound mind, and
therefore remanded her till yesterday, directing her to be
placed under the care of the medical attendant of the
prison.
Sir Robert Carden asked the prisoner what was the rea-
son of her violence ? Had her husband Mated bar with
kindness since her marriage ?
Prisoner replied that her husband MI deceived her from
first to lest. He told her he had only ono child, when he
had six children, and on several monism he bad kicked
her with such violence u to leave the marks in Walk and
blue for days aftnwards. He had mho looked her mat all
night, and the policemen bad seen bar elatkag on the step
of her own door because her husband had 0011116 home
drunk saiksinald not let her in. _

The At asked if the father was la mart ? upon
which

---
Mr. Byford, a licensed victualler in the City, said the
prisoner was his daughter, end that be had given the whole
of the 401. to the prisoner or het husband at different times.
The husband said he had only rewired 261., the remainder
was laid out, 61. for dresses, &c., for the prisoner, and 61.
for the license, the wedding• ring and keeper.
The Alderman—That is for things the husband ought to
have bought.
The husband then said the other 61. was stopped by the
father for a doctor's bill for the prisoner.
Sir R. W. Carden expressed his surprise that the father
should have charged his own child for medical attendance
while staying under his protection. The whole affair
seemed a emmoiraey between the husband and the father to
pece because she
itri rib this was of weak intellect and un-
able to lionelf.
The asked bow he was to keep his wife if he
had sea had tie
This AhliemasigeZ. by his own labour. Ho was sur-
prised that the ilUilband was not ashamed to come forward
and his was with such an offence, when both he
(the ) asi the father ought to change places
with bar.

IllitMdfoner said she was entitled to 3001. under her
grandmother's will, but her father had robbed her of 1001.
The fa her said that the money was left by his wifo's
mother, to whom he had lent money on no other security
than the probability of her property coming to him ; but
the old lady had improperly made a will in favour of her
gemdchildren, and he had, in consequence, made a claim
upon the estate, which was still under litigation.
The prisoner said fit t her brother was entitled to the
same as she was, but that all be could got was 401., with
which he emigrated to Australia.
The Alderman said he had no doubt of it, but be would
take care, if any farther cause was given for his inter-
ference, to protect her property from being squandered
away, and, if necessary, order the City solicitor to inquire
into the case. For the present he advised her to go home,
and restrain her violent temper, hut, under any circum-
stances, to consult the solicitors who have the management
of the estate, and if she experienced any further ill usage
from either her husband or father, to come to this court,
and seek the protection of the magistrate.
A similar admonition was given to the husband and
father, and the prisoner was then discharged.
