tendered ■ parcel to the prosecutor's housekeeper, who
came to the door, but she refused it ; and as she was about
to close the door, the prisoner rushed past her into the
house, got into the prosecutor's sitting room, and com-
menced smashing glass and china in the most furious
mistier. She declared that she was Mrs. Webb, and that
that ass her home, and whilst the housekeeper was gone to
get assistance, the prisoner took two silver soup spoons and
one gravy spoon, and ten shillings from a sideboard, and
made off. She wee apprehended by Fisher, of the 0 divi
sion, and she gave up pawnbrokers duplicates relating to
the spoons. She said she had takes them as a right. The
prosecutor denied positively that sho had any right to the
property.
The agreement for the separation was produced by Mr.
Wakeling, the solicitor, by whom it was drawn up and

IN ME FILOUOATT AND VAN PETTVI. "ADIEU AT •
I.

This sou the certificate alerting in the case of Froggatt
and Van Putter, corn factors, of Mark-lane. The balance-
sheet extended from the 31st of December, 1849, to the Bth
of May last, and showed& sum of 16,7541. due to unsecured
creditors, and 19,0661. to thine holding security, which.
however, was only estimated at 15,388/. The assets in rash,
bills, and good debt*, were put down at 978/. Profits,
3921. ; losses, 16,3011.. partners drawings, 2,8171.
Mr. Hallam opposed on &belief the assignees and two
creditors. Ile said the case was a very serious one. The
grounds of opposition were reckless trading, extravagant

Ist of January, 1849; both the bankrupts Iwd had consi-
derable experience in the trade; Froggatt had been a part-
ner in the firm et C. Douglas and S a, which failed in
1817. Van l'utten had also compounded in 1847, paying
3s. in the pound. Froggatt broughti no capital into the late
partnership, notwithsteuding the statement in the helmet-
sheet. Van Patten attempted to show that he brought
in a capital of 6001. • but the new firm having
sustained a loss of Coot. by its conneetion with
him, there was au actual deficiency. Having had
no capital whatever their trensaetions had been of
a gambling character; they had speculated with
the money of others to a great extent. Though the balance-
sheet only extended over thineen months, they hail pur-
chased in that period wheat to the extent of 204,0001.; the
lees had gone on gradually increasing, and there was a net
loss on the whole of 8,90 W. In other ankles they had not
been more fortunate.. In oats the/ had purchased to the
extent of 3,1001.„ making a lose of 173/. In rye their pur-
chase. had been 3.000 f., lees 2831. ; peas—purchases 9,7001.,
loss 747/. ; beans, 3,0002, lose 1701. ; being a total loss of
15,3391. Without capital it seemed an enigma how such a
business could be carried on. The secret was that they
pledged the corn the moment they got it; and it was a re-
markable fact, that men who dealt in a large way always
obtained credit moot easily, and the only wonder was that
their looses had not been greater. Altogether the provable
debts exceeded 20,0001., and the assets were only 89W., of
which 6002, according to the bankrupts' own account, was
doubtful; so that the dividend must be merely nominal.
With an actual loss on their trailing of 13,0001., Van
Putten had expended 1,6161., and I•roggett 1,301!. in
thirteen moeths. Professing to be corn factors, whew
business it was to sell for others, they had dealt
with the corn received eutircly as their own. Messrs.
Johnson, of London, had advanced as much as
tlO,OOO/. to the bankrupts on corn thug pledged; and one of
their letter books consisted entirely of letters on these
transactions. his was a direct infringement of the Fac-
tors Act, which it was to be regretted was not better knowu
in commercial circles ; for the punishment to which the
3 & 6 Victoria, c. 39, subjected parties so acting was trans,-
;variation for a period not exceeding fourteen years ; the
punishment extended also to clerks assisting in such train-
actions. Ily disclosing these transactions in this court, it
was true, a bankrupt exempted himself from proaecution ;
but this rendered it the more necessary that the Court of
Bankruptcy should take cognisance of such proceedings.
These men had done it, not in a solitary case, but in hun-
dreds, day by day ; it had been their system throughout.
They received the corn from foreign consignees, end imme-1
diately placed it in the hands of Messrs. Johnson, also corn
factors, who of course charged the usual commission, is. per'
qr., minus 3d. on account of the largeness of the transit-
tloll.. But this did not satisfy the bankrupts. On being
advised by Menne Johnson of sales—say. at 44a. per qr.—
they wrote to their foreign consignees, stating that they had
sold for 43e., with an expression of regret at the falling
market. In other cans there was a difference of 91 or 6d.
a quarter. The foreign consignees, ignorant of the state of
the market here, accepted these account sales, and the
matter had only been accidentally discovered by the
eseignees ; but the result load been a disadvantage to the
estate of 1,8931., the consignees being creditors fur more
than they had supposed. One alone had been defrauded
of 7001. in this way ; he himself had since become
bankrupt, and no wonder. This was surely such a case
of contracting debts by fraud as was contemplated in
the 236th section, for it was next to impossible to
discover the fraud. No fewer than 44 merchants had been
defrauded in this way ; but probably not four of them
knew it. Before the bankruptcy a compromiee had been
attempted, Van Patten then stating that his furniture had
bees. settled on his marriage. When the assignees came to
examine the deed, and to question the parties, they found
the deed had nut been executed till two years and a half
after the marriage, though it purported to have been cxc.
cuted by Mn. Van l'utten in her maiden name. It was
said there had be n au agreement or undentanding for such
a settlement ; but this hail been alnieloned, and the pro-
perty had been given up to the creditors; besides their
transactions with Memn. Johnson, the bankrupts had made
other large consignments at Glasgow, Liverpool, Wakefield,'
and other plates.
The CUSllMllaiollef—nave you any evidence that the
bankrupts obtained advances beyond the amount for which
they had accepted bills ?
Mr. Hollams said there was such evidence. In the cue
of Mr. Ilepner. who hail cousigneil them a lot of wheat,
about 300 quarters, they accepted for 335. a quarter, and
had previously obtained 12s. a quarter from Messrs. John-
son Two days before they stopped, they had handed to
Messrs. Johnson a cargo of wheat, consigned them by ,
Mr.Engle, for an advance of 70111. lie was inserted iu the'
balanee-sheet as a creditor for above 7001.

The prosecutor, in cross-examination, denied that ho had
ever been supported by the prisoner, knowing that she
acquired the mesas in a questionable manner.
The prisoner, who kept continually interpo.ing, protested
that ha had, and that he had followed her about whikt she
was with other men.

The prosecutor, in the most solemn manner, said this was
utterly false. Ile had repeatedly quarrelled with the pri-
soner in consequence of her drunken habits, to indulge in
which she frequently pawned his clothes, and he had lett
his home in disgust. He heard some time ago that she
took poison, ;but it was douhttul whether it was so. She
was in the hospital, bat he was not aware that it was in
consequence of the ill•trestment she had experienced from
him. lie understood she was there for having taken poison.
Ile was 43 years of age. He had been bound over to keep
the peace towards her. He denied having destroyed letters
he wrote to her formerly, or that he had removed anything
belonging to her.
Mr. Payne addressed the Jury.—He urged that the pri-
mmer had taken the spoons, not with the intention of com-
mitting a felony, but under the belief that she had a right
to them. lie commented on the conduct of the prosecutor,
and urged that it was a most scandalous prosecution, and
appealed to the jury, as mon of integnty, feeling, and
honour, to acquit the prisoner.
The learned judge having summed up,
The Jury found the prisoner but recommended
her to mercy, in consideration of the conduct of the prose-
' enter.

The learned Judge cautioned the prisoner not to annoy
or molest the prosecutor for the future. She had not the
least possible deka upon him, and then sentenced her to
six weeks' hard labour.

PIIESSETHENT OP THE GRAND itILY.

On coming into court to be discharged, the Grand Jury
handed in a presentment, in which they eulogised the con-
duct of the police in the rases they had investigated. de-
precated the practice of tradesmen exposing goods for sale
ma manner to tempt individuals to commit theft; and ex-
pressed their opinion that all eases, iu which the property
stolen did not exceed invoke 201., might be advantageously
disposed of by magistrates in a summary manner.
The learned judge agreed with the presentment so far as
it related to the police, and to the exposure of goods. The
police no doubt generally conducted themselves with pro-
priety, and any case of rai -conduct was visited with punish-
ment, and he was glad grand juries were so continually
complaining of the manner in which gonds were exposed for
sale, an evil which could not be remedied until the legisla-
' tore provided the courts with a power to compel the prose-
cutors, in cases where goods so exposed were stolen,
to pay the costs of the whole matter. As to summary juris-
diction in criminal cases, he could not agree with the grand
jury, his opinion—and it was nno acquired by a very long
experience—being, that no man, he he whoever or what-
ever he might, ought to have absolute power over the per-
son, character, or liberty of a fellow-subject. No man
ought to be entrusted with such power. The intervention
of a jury between the bench and the accused was of the
greatest possible public importance, and he was exceed-
ingly glad that magistrates generally were averse to sum-
mary convictions.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Jane Nolan wul;rou- ................ Mayor for re-
examination upon the charge of havingrohbed a gentleman
of a pocket-book, containing three .:).01. and six St. notes, in
Cheapside about a fortnight ago.
The unlucky youth, whose name is Fortunatus, was pass-
ing along at night at a late hour to his home in a lodging-
house in Cheapside when lie was met by the prisoner and
another female who asked him to treat them. He went
with them to a neighbouring public-house, where he paid
for refreshments for his guests with • 5/. note, which they
saw him take from • picket-brink; be afterwards slipped
the book into his coat pocket. Upon returning to
Cheapside the prisoner engaged his attent:on b
some manreuvre while the other female stood behind
him and suddenly disappeared altogether. He then went
home, and when he put his hand into his pocket found that
his money was gone. The prisoner was soon afterwards
' apprehended, but the other female could not be traced by
the police. It was, however, discovered that the latter,
instead of returning to her lodgings that night, called upon
• male companion, and disappeared altogether from her
nightly haunts, leaving the prisoner without any share of
the booty to stand the brunt of the accusation. The pri-
soner deitii d, upon being taken into custody, that she had
the least idea of the guilt of her companion until she learned
that the thief had suddenly abandoned her lodging. A
gentleman who wu passing along the street picked up a
piece of the pocket-book, which had been torn in pieces and
lay on the ground. Amongst the leaves wu sticking a Si.
note.

Fruggatt, one of tit.: bankrupts, denied having ever re-
ceived any advances beyond the amount they accounted for
to the consignees.
Mr. llollama said this was in direct contradiction to what
was shown by the accounts. The as-ignecs had no vindic-
tive feelings, but thought it essential that the practice of
continu.d and systematic pledging should be checked, or
there would soon be au end to alt commercial confidence.
Mr. Linklater denied that there was anything in the
accounts to prove the charges that had been brought against
the bankrupts.
The bankrupt Froggatt was examined at some length as
to the details of the transaction, but the complexion of the
case was not materially altered.
Mr. Linklater submitted that the case was one entirely
of misfortune, owing to the falling markets, over which the
bankrupts had no control.
His Honour said the bankrupt had begun without any
capital whatever, for furniture could not be considered
capital fur the purposes of trade. They had had a good
commissionbusinoss, with which they ought to have ?teen
content. Instead of that they had speculated, without any
capital, to the amount of 200,0001. Reckless trading was
the trading of persons who traded beyond their capital, and
this the bankrupts had done. Neither were they justifies'
in expending to the amount they had done—about 1,400/.
or 1,:r00/. each. It might be said they were in a good trade,
and it was necessary to keep up appearances; but traders
ought not to speculate with the property of others with the
view of making a profit. It had been proved that in two
iastances they had pledged property which they had no
right to do ; but these cases did not tome within the terms
of the act. The bankrupts probably had, no idea of de-
frauding, but had been impelled by their necessities. It
was a strong part of the case that they had returned pro-
perty as having sold for less than it really did. It was said
they had aright to deduct the Od. per quarter which they
paid Messrs. Johnson. What pretence was there for that?
Had they told their consignors that for some reason or other
they could not have a stand in the market, and were obliged
to put them to the expense of 9d. more commission,
the probability was those consignors would have
had nothing to do with them. In concealing that,
they had acted fraudulently. On those grounds the cer-
tificates must DO adjourned for IS months, when granted
to be of the third claw.

The prisoner was remanded for another week.
The victim, who is believed to be a traveller for a com-
mercial house, did not appear.

Williaes Walboroll9A,aieTii: 7r:9Charged by William
Blackberry, aged 17, with hawing stolen a fustian dress.
The yrosecutor is a working and friendless boy, lodging
at No. 60, Glidden-lane, St. Luke's, with his brother. The
prisoner came to ledge in the same house and slept in the
same department. lie was ragged and distressed, which
induced witness and his brother to assist him with food
and money, when they could not afford to do so. lie RI
length seised as opportunity, whilst the brothers were
asleep, to take away the dress which be now wore, and
which belonged to witness.
The primmer, in a melancholy tone, said in his defence
that he took away the dress, not for the purpose of con-
verting it into money, hut in consequence of the most
wretched distress ; his own clothes were so ragged and
filthy that he could get no work in them, and he tore them
up and put on the prosecutor's dress with a view to obtain
employment, but he had not succeeded in his object. lie
was willing to do any sort of work. He bad tried to enlist
in the army, but he was not tall enough.
The prosecutor's brother corroborated the prisoner's ac-
count of his condition. Himself and brother had fed the
prisoner and treated him kindly in consequence of his great
distriss. His brother only wished to have his clothes re-
turned to him, and not to prosecute the prisoner. They
bad no doubt distress caused him to take the clothes.

Prisoner (erying)—l only want work. . I would thank
anybody who would give me work.
Mr. Corrie asked if he had any friends.
He said ho had none.

Mr. Corrie highly complimented the brothers for their
humanity, and sympathised with the prisoner. The want
of clothes should not be a drawback to his getting work,
and the prosecutor should have his dress given back to him.
lie directed an officer of the court to take the prisoner to a
proper place and provide him with a suit of clothes, &c.,
and relief; the fustian dress to be restored to the pro-

Mr. Lulalater applied for protection, which was granted
for a month.

accompanied the *Meer, who shortly afterwards returned
with him. in appearance quite ■ different personage. He
thanked the worthy magistrate, who hoped that he would
go away and do good.

WF.STMINSTEII.
Mr. Arnold gave judgment in the ease of las. CAiberton,
toser-shopkeeper, Marlborough-road, Chelsea, charged with
refusing proper accommodation to soldiers.
Mr. Arnold observed that be bad upon the former occa-
sion entertained some doubt whether defendant, as a beer-
shopkeeper, was liable to have soldiers quartered upon
him, but upon consideration of the matter it was quite
clear that he was. As the words "ale house" were used in
the Mutiny Act the house must clearly imply any place
where ale or beer was sold, and it was further quite clear
that the law expressly rendered persons liable who were
licensed to retail cyder or perry, both of which were
included in defendant's and other beer-shopkeepers'
licenses. The question then turned upon the amount
of aocommodatioa, and bo saw nothing in the ease
to exhibit any resistance or obstinate withholding
on the part of the defendant of what he hat
It had been said that the men did not saw
plain until refused beer, and that defendant and
his wife bad slept in the same bed, but there
was no evivence to that effect before him. The ser-
geant had declared that the bed was not fit for anybody to
sleep in, because it was hard and insufficient of clothing.
As regarded the hardness, it could hardly be cousidereal
likely that recruits who joined the army were to indulge in
the luxury of a feather bed ; and they would, in all proba-
bility, find they must therefore put np with a hard one.
Insufficiency of clothing or covering was another matter,
and, as he was of opinion that in this respect the defendant
had not provided proper accommodation Sir the recruits,
he should fine hiss 3ie and costs.

MANCHE:AVM, JAN. 6.—There has been more business
than was expected, though, from certain iudications noted
on Saturday, it appeared not unlikely that the tone of to-
day's market would show some improvement. Mule yams
are in good request, and some descriptions difficult to buy.
In India qualities some large orders havo been placed to-
day, which will keep the spinners under contract to the
end of the month. Fur water twist, except as regards No.

Some of the large shipping houses have b,eu buying eaten-
sively of wide shining cloths of gout quslity at very full

though India buyers arc not generally doing a large busi-
ness, yet for goods and yarns suitable fur China and Madras
there is some activity. In the shipping market, however,
there is a healthy feeling which will probably lead to more
business. The home trade is much as reported hat week.
