bat his past undoes bad been such as to render it extremely
possible that Davies sulks might still be keeping back part
of the property, by means of this "shuffle and cut" system
which they were earrying on.—The Commissioner aud the
bankrupt's story wee so doubtful that he could not be allowed
to pus on each a statement. It wee almost making a lane
of the bankrupt law, and supposing the Commissioner pos-
sessed of great credulity, for such a person to come to the
court and say, " This is the best account I can give." Ile

that the saneness had not taken the extreme souse of com-
mitting him to prison; as it was, his examination must be
adjourned sin die until Menne to give some more credible
amount of the way in which he had disposed of his money.
To obtain the benefit of the bankrupt law a person must
esaferm to its requirements, and this ran was very for from
banes done so. Boyd reseed his last examination
without opposition, after a conversation as to his
givlag up to the landlord the house he boa
Chien applied for further protection ; but the sea-
missions? said it appeared to bile that this wee
not a we in which he ought to grant any further protectioa
whatever. The bankrupt had set the law at defies:mead most
take the consequences. Some additional proofs of debts were
taken, entity from weavers ; but in only one did any legal
quietism ern. The man, whose name will Skinner, had a
ago' of 171 • he held goods worth about 51 , which he had
neaten in discharge of his lien. In addition be claimed the
etymon of 40e. nudge the Wages Act, leaving bin to prove
fee the balance.—llse. Hudson said that the assignees were
debase of giving as favourable consideration to all these
nem as the law would penal', but beyond that they could
act afford to go.—The Commissioner was of opiison that the
',editor was entitled to the payment under the Wages Aet,
se well as his lien.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
The learned Chief Commissioner held a court for the pus-
pose of hearing applications for bail, but no case worthy
of notice occurred, except that of J. T. Townsend,
The applicant had petitioned the Bankruptcy Court, and his
lest examination had been adjourned eine die.—Mr. Rey
wilds asked why he (the insolvent) came here.—The peti-
tioner replied that his attorney had advised him to do so,
and he himself preferred it on account of the expense that
would attend his endeavour to pass his final examination in
the other court —The Commissioner said this war not a court
of appeal. The insolvent must apply to the Bankruptcy
Court, and if assistance could not be rendered him there it
would then be ample time tor bins to file his petition here.—
Application refesed.—The mart win resume its regular sit-
tings o the 14th inst.

—A private watchman, stir has bt en some time her to do
duty in a ward by some old worthies who considered all
new pi-Beeman kinking, was fined five shillings for
drunkenness, having been found on the previous night fast
isleep oa his bark in the gutter in Bell-alloy, from which he
was caned to the station-house. He assured the Lord
Mayor, upon his honour, that "It should be the last time."
—The Lord Mayer: That's what you always say.
(Laughter.)—The defendant paid the penalty, and repeated
that it positively should be the last time, ff his lordship
would be good enough to keep it quiet.
WORSHIP-STREET —Cu...amt.—The magistrate re-
quested the reporters to acknowledge his receipt of the fol-
lowing sums for the joint benefit of the destitute French
tutor, Boucher, and his humane landlady, Mrs. Diaper, who
had afforded him shelter and support when he was kit with-
out • friend " A Lady," 10s. •, "M. IL IL," 11 ; two other

MARYLEBONE.—Arornza Smarr ROBBERY BY
Wham—Anne Jones and Anne Terrill were finally
examined on the charge of havir. robbed Mr. Nuon, a lam
dealer in Regencstreet, of 261. On the evening of the 29th
rt. as prosecutor was passing along Cavendish-square, he
was addressed by Jones, who suddenly put her arms round
his waist, and at the IRMO moment he felt one of her hands
in his trousers pocket, which contained two 61. bark notes
and sixteen sovereigns ; he directly seised her, and on the
other prisoner, who was standing at • short distance oft,
coming up, he secured her also; they were then both given
into custody. He (prosecutor) distinctly saw • movement of
hands which led him to believe that Jones had passed some-
thing to Territt : none of the property had t *en met with.
—Tr/wrests were sent for trial.
SOUTHWARK.—ROBBRILT AT THE SURREY THIA-
TRE.—W. Parry, W. Guildford, and T. Silsey, were re-
examiced, the former charged with steeling a quantity of
music, the property of the proprietor of the Surrey Theatre,
and the two latter (employed as scene-shifters in the same
theatre) with stealing same rope and other articles from the
store-room.—When Parry was placed at the bar, Mr. Fare-
brother, the treasurer of the theatre sr od forward and
spoke on his behalf. He said that sire the discovery of
the photo of mush ma by the prisoner's wife as waste
in the New-rut, he (Mr. Farebrother) by Mr.
paper
ehner's direetiou, had sailed at Parry's lodging,
and found his wife and children in a rats of the
greatest possible dishess ; that he represented the condi-
tion of the unfortunate family to Mr. Kerschner, who on
that account expressed a desire to relinquish any further pro-
ceedings against him, conceiving that his discharge from the
Theatre would be • sulkiest punishaeut instead of sendiag
him for Cottinghars said that the distressed ear
ditios of the prisoner's family was no justilloatirm he hie
having surropthiessly disposed of such a qasatity of his
employer's prorny is wises paper. He (the prisener),
however, was hermits in having met with so humane a
prosecutor, who had intimated a dears through hie trea-
surer to forego my further ipromedings against him. The
prisoner, however, would be diorama from his situation,
and with his remoter forfeited ha would still be reduced to

greater distress than heretofore. The magistrate then di.
aimed the three prisoners.
