COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Belot! Yr. CanneloniTer Fooblanque.

A BANZEUPTIiiIiiIISTER.—DISPUTED AUJUDICATION.
—Mr. Steuart, • barrister, was naught to be made a
bankrupt as a builder and brickmaker. The ease
was hear?. a few days since, and this day was fixed f
his honour to give judgment.—His Honour was of opinion
that Mr. Stewart came within the denomination of • perwo.
spinet whom the bankrupt law was intended to prevail, and
be (the commisniontr) could find ro cases to the contrary.
In the twee of the Duke of Northumberland, the Marquis of
Westatinst. r. or the Duke of Bedford, if building speculation
were intendi 11, Mr. Cubitt or Mr. Peto weld be employed,
and against them the timber dealer, the brickmaker, or the
ironmonaer would have their remedy; but not so in
the presort cane; and if in the present case it was
required, he (the commissioner) would draw the
distinction between a lettine fir hire and a letting
for rent. In the presort case there was evidence of selling
and letine, but that witness in cross examination had broke
down, and introduced a circumstance as to repairs done by
Smith ; but it appeared there was no mon.l passed between
them. His Honour must draw attention to the building of
a particular house, viz., the Stewart's Arms. He wes of
opinion tent Stewart was a bankrupt within the mennii gof
the act of parliament. An application had been madeto be
permitted to examine other witnesses. Mr. Duncan had been
taken by surprise at the fall of one of his witnesses, and his
Honour would al!ow the petitioning creditor to bring what
evidence he pleased. A multipliei7 of evidence was handed
in in the fins% instance, bat it would be wrong to suppose that
they might not call further evidence.
The case was then adjourned, in order to prove the act of
bankruptcy or not.

THE CAPE OF A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.—SAIIR O.
O'CONNELL—SMALL DEBTS ACT. —Mr. Tarrant, a solicitor,
appeared for Mr. F. Baker, hosier and shirtmoker, of Bur-
imgtor-areode, to support • demand of 111. odd—a judg-
ment. deist and costs—against Mr. M. J. O'Connell, who,
said the solicitor, is member of Parliament for Kerry.—Mr.
Commisainner Fane Well, why do yon tell me that ? Can't
you wait. and let that come from the other side. Mr. Tar-
rant': 1 thoucht it my duty to mention it, as possibly some-
thing might turn on it —Mr. Commissioner Pane: now do
I know that this is the member for Kerry, or that you have
not sued a person different from that individual ? There
may be a thousand Morgan O'Connell+ in the world, and
why should you at once raise a wall to knock your head
against Mr. Tarrant said the debtor had been summoned
in the usull way, but did not appear. A witness was about
to be called to prove the service of the summons, when Mr.
Davis, from the office of Messrs. Bevan and Co., appeared for
Mr. O'Connell, and made a communication to Mr. Tarrant,
which resulted in an adjournment, by consent, of the hearing
of the matter for ten days.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Beebe Mr. Ilerieest Adams,
TILZAL or MAJOR BINIOWSILI --Yestr rd.. morning Major
Bortholontems Reniosoaki surrendered to take his trial span
an indietment for publiclted Mr. David Urquhart- On
the 2nd of* Meech lastsmeeting was held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, on the subject of the annexation of Cracow,
sod the prosecutor was one of the speakers. The defendent,
a Polish Jew, also attended ; and at the conclusion
of the business of that meeting, as the prosecutor was
about to leave the room, committed the ewult,
I. consequence of some difference which occurred shoot
seven year. ago.—Mr. D. Urquhart deposed that be livid
at 28, elimeesstreet, Pimlico, and was formerly secre-
tary to thin Britieh embassy at Cnnstantineple. Ile ceased
to be each in 1837. lie then returned to England, and had
since, with the exception of about too years, resided
at his family residence, Bittern Maser, near Southamp-
ton. his residence was well known, and any person
could wily have learned it by, applying either at
his publiesre or at the Polish Avwciation. Letters of his
had appee red in the public newspapers, to all of which
either hie name or address bad been attached. The witness
then related the particulars of the meeting. After the hug-
sem was concluded, he was retiring from the room, when
the defendant approached him with the air of a Pole who
seemed Oilseed with his speech in firma of his country. He
took hits hand, and after asking for a moment's convene-

suffieient. The defendant had been very active in inciting
the Poles in England to join in insurrectionary movements.
lie was the chief organiser of the Chartist conspiracy in
1538.9. Ile had been expelled the Polith association, and
had been struck off a list of Poles who received small pen-
sions from the government, for having written and published
a pamphlet instructing the people how to defend themselves
from milit.ry attacks. He knew this from a statement of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons.
He consulted the defendant a spy in this country, because
he took an active part in the Chartist movement, and was not
are steel when the leaders of the outbreak were seized by the po-
lice.—Re-esamined In 1839 he said publicly eta meeting at
Glasgow, of merchants and Chartist operatives, that the de- '
fendant was a Rassiantpaid spy. and that he was also a spy
tu the pay of the English government. He bad never seen
him before, but he had a firm eens:ction that what he said
aas true. Lord Dudley Stuart was one of the authorities
ppm which be had spoken of Beniowski in regard to the
Poles. In 1839 he wet invited by the Conservative com-
mittee to ste oil for the borough of .91arylebone, and it was
thus that he became acquainted with the Chartist leaders,
with whom I.e had communications, and it -as upon those
that he for. nded his statements regarding the defend-
ant —The hey. John Hamilton Grey, of Seasoner Castle,
Derbyshire, corroborated the evidence as to the sasault.—
Mr. Samplin, surgeon, Great Queen-street, considered that
straseulation had been attempted.
Mr. Wilde urged, for the defence, that the prosecutor had
maligned the Jefeadant's reputation without a scintilla of
ground for the accusations he bad made. He said that the
fat of the pu'lleatione, containing the aspersions, not being
laid before the jury by the counsel for the prosecution, must
he taken by ti d jury as evidence that they contained matter i
eminently calculated to provoke the anger of the defendant.
He considered that the statements rind insinuations promul-
gated by thatp:mphlet warranted the defendant is the coarse
he had pursued with regard to its author, namely, pulling
hie nose, which he said was all the defendant contemplated
doing, but he made a slip, and lacerated his face with his
flago.
ihen learned judge summed op at acme length, and,
in the course of his observation?, said that no provoca-
tion could justify an width. If Beniowski had been libelled
in any publication of the prosecutor s, the law afforded him
ample means of obtaining redress, and an English jury
would make him a fair compensation, if it was shown that
those libels were published on insufficient grounds. It was
a very lame excuse to say that the provocation, if any, jus-
tified such a proceeding, and it was worse still to say that a
person in Mr. Urquhart's position should have been playing
bide and seek fur seven years, in order to elude the de-
fendant. No one was permitted to take the law into his
own hands ; and he considered the case for the prosecution
clearly made out; and the jury efuld not, consistently
with the law and their oaths, but find the defend-
ant guilty.—The foreman of the jury said, we are
obliged to find a verdict of Gat/ley—The court re-
eersed its judgment until the adjourned sessions, in
order that inquinea might be mat's.—Mr. Wilde hoped that
the court would allow the defendant to put in an affidavit
in mitigation, to show that endeavours had been made
to find the prosecutor.—The court could not do that —The
defendant here said that the postponement of his sentence
was the grzatest punishment he could suffer. His case had
airs adv been postponed for two sessions, and had he defended
himself he felt sure the jury would have acquitted him.—The
learned judge said the sentence would in some measure
depend upon the result of inquiries yet to be made ; and it
was better that the defendant should have another fortnight'',
excitement, than that the efourt should pass either too light
or too severe a sentence in consequence of not having made
inquiries.—The defendant's recognisances were then ordered
to he enlarged until the 22nd of April, when he will be
called up for judgment.
