COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before ifr. Commissioner Goulburn.?
STIMAR4.-APPLICATION FOR RELEA,E.--C

FRAUD.
The bankrupt, an apothecary, of Rotherhithe, applied
for his rele.ise from custody.
Mr. Griffiths supported.
Mr. Hannan opposed, on behalf of the London, Brighton,
sod South Coast Railway Company, who charged the bank-
!mid with being concerned in an attempt to concoct a claim
for damages.
His liotiour was of opinion that he could not entertain
tilt objection at that time, as the alleged fraud did not ap-
pear by any proceedings ; but said that the bankrupt
would have to answer for it at a future stage of the case.
ilelease granted.

IN RE sARCEL DAGLET RAWLINGS.—DISPDTED
ADJUDICATION.
Mr. E. Reed appeared to show cause against an adjudica-
tion which had been made in the ease of S. B. Rawlings,
miller, of Oakham, Rutlandshire. The trader had executed
:deed of arrangement on the 11th October, by which be
undertook to pay a composition of 7s. lid. in the
pound on debts of 5,090/. in three instalments. The deed
bad been duly registered, but previous to that time Ileum
Lucy had taken out a trader debtor summons, and at the
expiration of the eight days had obtained adjudication.
Sle,ntirne the deed had been executed by more that three-
fourths of the creditors ; and the question arose whether the
set of bankruptcy consequent on the trader's non-appearance
to the summons dated back from the period when the
summons was issued, or only from the expiration of the
ei.bt days.
-31 r. Etty (of Liverpool), in support of the adjudication,
urgal that the deed wus invalid, as there had been no
trsn-fer of the property to the trustees.
Mr. Reed mid there were no trustees under the deed,
bat only assignees, to whom the estate had been assigned
on their becoming sureties for the payment of the corn-

His Honour inquired if there was any evidence of the pro
iv.rty having been given up to the assignees, who were in
effect trustees. Being answered in the negative, he said this
appeared to be an attempt on the part of the debtor to dis-
tribute his estate in his own way.
Mr. Reed contended that the petitioning creditors having
aigeed the deed, were bound by it.
His Honour considered this an attempt to bring within
the act of parliament certain practices which were never
r‘aitemplated. It was never meant that the debtor should
main possession of his estate and disttibute it as he liked.
Mete the enigmas, though not trustees eo nomine,
were so virtually and in effect, and possession of the
Property ought to have been given to them. It was clear
that the seventh condition of the 192 sec. had not been com-
plied with. The act of bankruptcy was therefore good, and
the adjudication would be confirmed.
Mr. feed gave notice of appeal to the Lords Justices ; and
His Honour directed the advertisement to be stayed.

WANDSWORTH COUNTY COURT.
JACEiON (TUE AIIERICAN DEER) t'.
" DEIRPOOT" CASE.
In tills case judgment was given this morning bv Mr. J. F.
Frazer at the Wandsworth County Court. Ms Honour
wi4--Upon reading the whole of the evidence, I am of
%Mimi that there was the sum of 41. for wages left unpaid
to the plaintiff at the time of the breaking up of the corn-
Mr at Peterborough ; but with respect to the sum of 21.
claimed for services in Ireland, I think the weekly
rectraet had been rescinded, and a fresh agreement
had been come to that the plaintiff should receive 21. for his
hit two days' service', and which sum it is admitted was
paid to him. A. question has, however, arisen whether
m print of law the plaintiff is entitled to recover at all.
by From the evidence it appears that the public was induced
the defendant is pay their money for admission to see
certain foot-races under the representation that they
would he honestly run as a fair trial of the speed and en-

durance of the parties engaged La the contest, the defend-
ant's intention being that in many, if not in all, the result
should be precisely as he should dictate to the competitors.
This was a fraud upon the public ; and if the plaintiff,
with full knowledge of thin fact, and with the view of fur-
thering the design of the defendant, had made it a part of
his contract with him to run, not according to his real
powers, but according to the orders of the defendant, I
should have had no difficulty in deciding that such a contract
was void, but although I am satisfied that many of
these races, if not all, ware run, not honestly, but according
to a pre-arranged plan, yet as the evidence does not go the
length of establishing that this was in consequence of a
stipulation in the contract between the parties, but rather
that it was a compliance on the part of the plaintiff with
the improper instructions of the defendant, I am of opinion
that, highly reprehensible as the conduct of the plaintiff
was, he is not disentitled from suing for the amount due
to him, and the judgment of the court will be, therefore,
for the plaintiff for the sum of 41., to be paid in • week.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

CLERHENWELL.
DARING ROBBERY AT TR! GREAT NORTRZRN RAILWAY AND

ATTEMPTING TO SHOOT THE OPTILIM.
A well•dreseed young man, with a determined mat of
countenance, who gave the name of George Marriott, aged
25, and described himself as a labourer, having no home,

was charged before Mr. Barker with stealing a pOrtmantrin, li
contents unknown, at the King's-croms station of the Great
Northern Railway, the property of the company. The
prisoner was further charged with attempting to shoot
William Thorogood, an officer of the company, at the same 1/
time and place. li
The fact having become known that the prisoner was in 61
custody on the charge of attempting to shoot the constable, 5
and that the pistol loaded and a quantity of shot, ball, and 7,,
powder bad been taken from him, the court was crowded to 81
excess to hear the examination. The prisoner, who was ei
handcuffed, was brought down to the court in custody of SI
two officers, and wu followed by a large concourse of 81
persons. 81
Mr. Wontner, sen., of Bucklenbary, attended for the pro-
secution, and Mr. Richard Williams, inspector of the Great s 4
Northern police, watched the csae. SI
Mr. Wontner opened the cue at some length, and sad Si
that the prisoner was watched owing to hie suspicions move- Si
menta. He was seen to take a bag, and when he was taken 8
into custody he endeavoured to shoot the constable, the
pistol below loaded with shot and powder. The officer si
knocked the pistol out of his hand, and when it was picked 31
up it was found to have no cap on it. He should ask that u
the prisoner might be committed on the charge of steeling SI
the bag, and also for attempting to resist his lawful appre 11
-
bunion.

William Thorogood said—l am a constable at the Great it
Northern Railway station. Last evening about half-past s&
four I saw the prisoner at the station. I was induced to eta
watch him up to half-past five. During that time he visited St
all the waiting-rooms and booking-offices and crowed the 50
line and came tack again. He went round from the de-
par aide to the arrival side and back, and finally I saw cij
him enter the second-class waiting-room. He remained 10
there about three minutes and then came out with theleather st
bag produced. He then made his way round the station to St
the arrival side. I followed him to within about 20 yards n
of the entrance gates, where I stopped him. I said, 2;
" Where are you going to with this bag?" He said, " Oh,
lam looking for the gentleman to whom it belongs." I at
said "That won't do for me ; 1 am a constable, and have st
been watching you for some time, and I shall charge you St
with stealing this bag." He said, " Oh, vet), well." I lc
then laid hold of the prisoner's left arm, carrying the bag in !!1,
my left hand. We walked together some little dis-
tonne going towards the policeetation, when I observed the gi
prisoner put his right hand into his right band trowsers nt
pocket, and as soon as he drew his hand from his pocket, I Si
saw a pistol in his hand. He pointed it towards my it
face. I then struck his arm with my left hand, 81.,
and closed with him. The pistol fell as soon as I
struck him. I said, " You react% what do you mean by 91
their I also said, " What have you done with the pistol?" as sr
I could not see it. He said " What pistol? I had none." ti
Just at that time one of the porters was pawing, and I said St
" Jump off on to the line, and see if you can find a pistol." ti
1 took the prisoner to the police office on the station. I ;
then searched the prisoner, and in his pocket found 12
bullets, some powder, and one percussion cap. There was 9
an'empty parr in his pocket, and no money.
WtillliamCntchfield said—l am • porter on the Great
Northern Railway. I saw the prisoner in the custody of
the last witness. From what he told me I went on to the

line and searched, and could not then find the pistol.
A short time afterwards I saw another man pick it up. The
hammer was down on the nipple. I took the pistol to
Mr.Williarna's office, and on the road I picked up some per-
cussion caps which were wrapped in paper. I found them
on the road which the prisoner bad gone.
Robert Prince, the painter, basin proved finding the
pistol, and handing it to the previous witness,
Mr. Richard Williams, inspector of police of the Great
Northern Railway, said—l produce the pistol and percwrion
caps which were handed to me by last witness. I examined
the pistol and found it charged with powder and ball. The
hammer was down, and there was no percussion cap on it.
The ball and percussion cap in the prisoner's pocket
are the same as were on the pistol. I asked
the prisoner for his address, and he said he had none. The
night before he had slept at a coffee-shop in the Tottenham-
oourt-road, and he had slept ►t coffee-shops for some con-
siderable time past. He said he had been discharged from
the 3rd Dragoon Guards about 16 months ago. I said,
" You have beard what the officer said about the pistol,"
and he said, " It is a lie."
Mr. John Benjamin Rogers said—l reside at the Priory,
Harold, near Bedford. I am • mechanical engineer. I
went to the Great Northern station to leave by the 5.35 t
train. I arrived there at five minutes to 5. The travelling
bag produced is my property, and I placed it in the second-
class waiting room. I went on the platform to see the 11
express train. I was away 15 or 20 minutes, and on my
return I missed my hag. The contents consisted chiefly of '
clothing. Immediately I missed my bag I made inquiriel,
but could not get roy information. A short time afterwards
I saw the prisoner in custody, and that was the first time I
saw him.
The prisoner, who made no defence, was fully committed I
for trial.
