EZ 11111111101 T.-IMPORTANT APPPLICATION.

The baaruptints • publican, of Stepney ; and Mr.
Ring, of the firm of Wood and Ring, now applied to the
court under these circumstances : Mr. Hubert Wood had
filed a petition in August last against the bankrupt, and the
estate had realised 40/. As the solicitors presenting the
petition they (Messrs. Wood and Ring) would be entitled to
be mid before anybody else, but notwithstanding this, Mr.
Aldridge, the so-called crown solicitor, had contrived to get
his costa psid first.
His Honour—What is the amount of your charges?
Mr. Ring—About 171. and 101. paid for fees. We cootend
that Mr. Aldridge had no right to have his oasts paid first
&ono there was not enough in the estate to satisfy other
parole.
The cotninisakmer—The question L whether Mr. Aldridge

O entitled to these meta. He seema to hare made Mein
at, and to hare been paid.
31r. Austen (the usher) explained to the Commissioner
tot Mr. Aldridge came in after the first sitting, and was
Leedom only entitled to oome in after the solicitor to the
petition had been paid.
The Commissioner—There has been 404 realised by the
.fieial snipes, sad I should like to know what has become
it. Mr. Aldridge certainly should recoup, and I think
lasses. Wood and Ring should obtain from Mr. Cannes, the
trial assignee, an amount of the disposal of the money.
Ultimately, the further consideration of the matter ream
sljourned until to-morrow.

MARLBOROITGIUSTRLPET.
TVS SAILOR ►ND MI SHAN DITICIT7I.

Joics Blears, of l 6 Wsßstteet, Bt James s • discharged
=stable of the metropolitan police force, was charged
Wore Ns. Tyrwhitt with demanding to see the pass of
Lam of Thomas Cumming, an able.bodied seaman, of her
Isiesty's Naval Barracks. Sheerness.
The complainant, a good specimen of as English silo,,
mid—A little after 12 on daturday night I was having supper
it a fish shop in Ctow•-strert, when the'priemer said I was
a deserter from the Royal Navy, and wanted to Mks me into
custody, at the same time stating that he was a detective.
The prisoner said he would wait till I had eaten my supper,
sad then take me. I told the prisoner to be off, or be
would get into trouble, sod asked the prisoner for his
torrent ticket if be was • detective. The prisoner then
asked to see my leave pass. and I told him that as he bed
refused to let me me hie ticket I would not let him see my
pus. I then spoke to a constable mad asked him if he knew
the prisoner as a detective, and he mid be did sot, and I
than pve the prim 'to custody.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You bad a pass, and declined to show it to
person of the prisonea's description
Complaisant—That was it, air. I felt insulted.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Have you any sritoesses?
Complaisant—l had two, civilian-rigged, but I don't me
them here now.

Jacobs, 182 0. said—l saw s crowd of persons assembled
an altercation between the sailor and the prisoner—the
Owner accusing the sailor of being a deserter. Oo asking
the prisoner what business he bad to take the sailor into
rutody, ha said that he was a &astable of the Brox ma-
itabulary, bat knowing that he bad been in the police and
discharged, I took him into custody.
Primmais—l beard some toe say the sailor was a deserter
from the Frio so I thought I would keep my eye on hint
ril a oomedia4 aria It is a rade of the nary for the men
to wear the Abbas on the cap to indicate what ship they
belong to, and I asked the prisoner for his. Ido hold at
appoiatment in the Preston police, and am going to it to-
morrow. The mike need had language, and I thought I was
doing a public duty. I was dismissed from the police.
Mr. Tyrwhits—Ad you are going to another force
Prisoner—Yea. They know it. I was acting on public
Pounds.

Mr. Tyrwititt—l think quite differsotly. You are • don.
torsos and meddlesome fellow. You were dismimsd, and hare
succeeded in getting let* another force, and so much the
some for that force. You bare been guilty of an impudent
piece of presumption, and you thought you could try it
au with the follow because he was a sailor; but I am glad
to think that he was your match. lam well aware that
sailors are atm got into a scrape by a pack of fellows who
prey upon them, sad I bare no doubt you were trying to make
a tool of the sailor. You will hare to pay W., and I
hope the Preston force will know what sort of a man they
bare taken on.
