lug or bark of the stalks of • perennial plant, of the order
Malmo:re known as the Hibiscus Moscb.utoe, or Palm-
tris, the plant as well as the fibre having received the name
of American jute. This term, however, may be considered
te, for the reason that the jute of the East Indies

Qt • neither of which plants has any relation to the

of the Hibiscus are not so liable to become deteriorated by
exposure and washing in alkaline lyee as those of the jute.
At • moderate calculation, and taking into account the pro-
bability of loss from unforeseen causes, three and a half
to of disimegrated fibre MD be derived from one ems of

by experienced rope manufacturers to be far superior to
Manilla hemp or jute—the specimens of rope exhibited
being fully equal in strength and pliability to ordinary
hempen rope. Two prominent paper manufacturers of New
York have estimated the fibre to be worth 100 dole. per ton,
to be used as • substitute for linen rags in the manufacture

This was an action to recover a small sum, but the prin-
ciple involved was one of considerable importance to trades-
people and employers of domestic servants
Plaintiff rid that be had an account on his book naiad
Hrs. Pratt, and it was for butter, milk, and eggs.
His Honour--Who came for the vods ?
Plaintiff—Mrs. Pratt'. servant. I knew it was her *er-
rant buena she was in the habit of coming for goods, and
the defendant refuses to pay this because she knows there
are a lot of other things.
Mrs. Pratt—l refuse to pay this, bemuse I gave no
authority far it.
Hi. Honour—Did you always give your set rant the
money'
Mn. Pratt—Yea, for everything.
Hie Honour—Well, plaintiff, how did you come to trust
her!
Plaintiff—She had been to oar shop for a long time, and
bail always paid for her things melte took them away. One
day the cams and said that she would pay the next, and the
next day she told me I could put it down in the book, and
eo there wee • bill.
Mrs. Pratt stated that the servant was, until lately, a
vm• faithful one, having been in the family for 14 years,
and it was but a short time siooe that the discovery of her
foily had been made. The woman bed very foolishly takeu
to drinking ; and it was not to be wondered at when every
facility was afforded her for the gratification of this propen-
sity by tradespeople.
His Honour considered that it was plaintiff's duty to have
made inquiries before trusting the servant with a second lot
of goods. It appeared that defendant had handed her ser-
vant the marketing mousy every day, and it was in the pro-
vince of plaintiff as a tradesman to have protected himself.
Defendant, under the circumstances, was clearly Dot liable,
and would have a verdict.
Verdict for defendant.

THE POLICE COURTS.
GUILDHALL.

Frederick Sanderson, described as • =eh builder, of
Tottenhameourt-raid, London, and Dominicetreet, Dublin,
was charged before Alderman Humphery with not sot ren-
dering on the 9th of April, 1862, after being adjudicated •
bankrupt, and with not giving op the whole of his property
to his assignees.
It appeared that the bankrupt, who culled on business
both in London end Dublin, petitioned the Court of Bank-
ruptcy on the 13th of April, 1861. On the 17th of the
same mouth he was adjudged • bankrupt, and oa the 27th
he was examined. On the 12th of the following month,
however, his property being situated in Dublin, his Irish
creditors made him a bankrupt there, and for some time
concurrent proceedings were pending in the London and
Dublin Courts. A messenger from the former was sent
OM to take possemion of the bankrupt's property, and re-
mained for eleven months at an expense to the estate of
1201., whenhe was withdrawn by mutual consent, the two
sets of proceedings being found exceedingly inconvenient,
and steps being taken to annul the Irish bankruptcy, and
that being accomplished, • messenger was spin sent over
to sake possessioo. but was ejected by the bankrupt, who,
failing to surrender on the 9th of April, the day for his last
:animation, a warrant was Weed, and he was arrested at
his place of business in Dublin.
For the bankrupt it was urged that be had no fraudu-
lent intent, be having attended every examination but the
hat, when he was prevented by illness, and having sines
r ststill
e4settled with his creditors, although he had failed
one of the petitioning creditors, at whose inati-
ption it was alleged the prosecution had been adopted.
Rickman, the detective officer, said some delay had oc-
curred in apprehending the bankrupt, whose came was so
well known to the authorities in Dublin, that the chief
magistrate hesitatedfor some time before backing the war-
rant

---
After some little discussion, Alderman Htmmber7 decided
upon remanding the bankrupt, and accepting bad for his
►ppearance in two sureties of 100/. each.
