THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The attendance at the Exhibition on shilling day,.
still continues to preserve a singular uniformity
with respect to numbers, but as to daises, public
curiosity would appear to have touched a new
stratum, as the great majority of visitors now walk
sway, leaving the cabs and omnibuses and Arab.
almost destitute of customers. There is no ditti-
' cuh.y now in getting a seat " anywhere," and there
is not the slightest danger of being " cut" by a
cabman on hailing him—an indignity to which our
best and worthiest had to submit some weeks since.
The Arabs, driven to their wit's end, volunteer t,
pilot timid old ladies over the crossings, and Li)
guide country folks to the right 'bus, being very
glad now to earn a penny in that way, instead of the
shillings they used so mercilessly to extort iu
palmier days.
The attendance of schools and organised partit,i
was unusually numerous. The moat important of
the latter consisted of 500 stout "Sheffield b1ad...,,"
from the firm of Joseph Rodgers and Sons, who had
engaged a special train from the Great Northern
Company. The whole expenses were defrayed by
the firm, and in addition the men who bad twenty
years' service bad 15s. spending money each, and
those of less service 6s. It speaks well for 6,
firm to have to state that there were 150 found en-
titled to the larger gratuity. So good an example
cannot fail to have numerous imitators. The other
schools, ac., were :—Woodford parishioners, 17, paid
in by Rev. C. Smyth ; agricultural labourers, from
Hornsby, 44, by Mown. Banyard and Saunders;
agricultural labourers, from Suffolk, 21, Mr,
W. Walker ; ditto from Harcheston, Suffolk,
Mr. L W. Thurlow, 24 ; ditto from Iken, Suffolk,
20, Mr. J. W. Gabbett ; ditto from Puchettwout,
St. Albans, 34, Mr. R. Harrison ; ditto from
Woodbridge, Suffolk, 23, Mr. H. Edwards ; ditto
from Coalend, Southampton, 100, by Mr. A. 6.
Drummond ; villages in Cambridgeshire, 112 ;

George's Workhouse, Hanover-square, 32 ; St.

School, 18 ; Clapham choir, 27 ; Salisbury National

cursionist& came up by the Great Western Railway.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Farbleague.)
RI ARCHIBALD GEO. LOGIN.

This was an application for release upon bail. The
bankrupt, Archibald Geo. Logan, was sued and committed
as Archibald Logan, late of 158, King's-road, Chelsea, of
the Queen's Hotel, Bydenharn, and of Whitecross.stnset
Prison. The bankrupt was stated to have been an officer
in the Indian army.
Mr. Sargood said that this was an application for release
from custody udder the 112th section of the Bankruptcy
Act. He had successfully opposed several similar applica-
tions, and ill the present instance the notice had been
served upon his clients by Messrs. Aldridge and
Bromley. Now, if these gentlemen filled the office
of "crown solicitors," it might be necessary to
know to what extent their power extended, and to secure
uniformity of practice to find whether they should give
notice, or whether it should be signed by the bankrupt.
Here was • man who gave them notice that he was
prepared with two sureties for his due appearance
hereafter, and Aldridge and Bromley, instead of stead-
ies upon neutral ground, had, by serving the
notices, really become solicitors to the bankrupt.
It would be necessary before the bail was accepted that there
should be some ground of iodeotificacion, and to show that
they were substantial persons.
Mr. Parkes, the attorney for the bankrupt, stated that
the bail were not present.
. . . . . .

Mr. Sargood said that he had strong suspicion that they
were paid bail ; one was to be Mr. John Bitten,
s, the prompt
solicitor for tbe bankrupt, whether there was such a person
as Mr. Daniel Donohue, of Blackman-street, Southwark,
licensed victualler._

Mr. Parka "Zed to have liberty to appear and to Ale
fresh arrtioss.

Mr. fiargood—You will hare to give fresh notices, and
proper notices.
The Commissioner said that must be done, and the bank-
rupt pay the costs.
The bankrupt said be came here in forint pauper* and
could not afford to pay costs.
The Commissioner—You are determined to delay your
creditors as far as possible, and must therefore takenthe con-
63.suennkruiit—I will pay any coats you like. It is a blunder
of the crown solicitor.

The Commissioner—The crown solicitor`.' All fiddlesticks.
You might just as well WI him Solicitor-General.
The bankrupt asked what there was to pay.
The Commissioner— That is what is not my duty as a
commissioner to tell you. You must go to the taxing master.
Mr. Sargood consented to take two guineas as the costs
of the da , and au order for the payment of that sum was
socaMmgly made.

11,011111 MAYISTON.
Tbia was an examinatiou meeting. The bankrupt,
Robert Maystoo, was described as of Mintern•street, Hor-
ton printer and paper bag manufacturer, nod of the
Lansdowne Music Ha,. Islington, licensed victualler. The

and Hayles, shows :—Dr. : To creditors, 4,153/. 19a. 3d. ;

bands of creditors, 2,100/. ; deficiency, 2,9331. 22. 4d.—
total, 6,506 h 81.

Mr. Sargood, for the assignees, applied for further
accounts, a goods account, a cash account, and a deficiency
account.

Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the bankrupt, did tot resist
the application, but said as there was a considerable amount
in hand, he must ask that au accountant might be employed
to prepare the accounts required.
The Commission granted an adjournment for six weeks,
and said he would reserve the question as to the payment
of an accountant out of the estate until he saw the eccounta.
The one was accordingly adjourned to the 31st October
next, with enlarged protection to the bankrupt.
