This being the first day of Trinity Term, the court sat in

none, were occupied the remainder of the day with hearing
arguments in • case "Newton v. Bather," being en action
by a newspaper agent against a director of the Oxford and
Salisbury Railway Company, to recover • debt of 4,0001. for
advertising. the projected line. The cue involved no point

ment, the court deferred its judgment.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Berme Mr. Oamouwooner nottiburn.
PSUPiIIITOILSIIIP UV VAUIIIALL.OAItURNO. Robert
Brown, late of the Dr. Johnson Tavern, Fleet.atrcet, now of
Brixton, victualler, came up for his car uticate. Ilia balance
sheet, extending from September, 1842, to December, 1847,
elviwed debts to the amount of 1,7231., and assets to about
7601. (5501. of which was mortgaged to his creditors). lie
hail begun with a capital of 2,S001; and had made a profit at
the 1)r. Johnson Tavern of 8,3131. He had incurred a loss
of 3,8161. (1,7791. in consequence of his connexion with
Vauxhall.gardens in the two last seasons). The trade ex-
penses were put down at 8,3071., of 11 Bich one item was
4,1.580. " fur professional singers for concert-mom for five
years," his domestic and personal espetiss s at 1,1751.—Mr.
Duncan opposed the certificate on behalf of the assignees,
and Mr. Lawrence supported. The grounds of opposition
ware that the bankrupt had net satisfactorily accounted for
the large sums of money which had evidently come into his
possession.—Mr. Duncan stated that it had recently come
to the knowledge of the assignees, that three van-Weds of
property had been removed from the Itankrupt'e premises ;
also a quantity of plate, which w.O now in the ..oiliasiou ofa
frir cad of his, named Heritage ; he therefore asked for an
adjournment, to give an opportunity for iiiveatigatinir the
matter. Aft, r a conversation the hearing was postponed.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Before Mr. *rising Adams.
°AMMAN() 1101;Sne.—Mr. John Bond, the preeeeutor in
the use of Le%y, reported in the Express of yesterday,
applied to the court to me, rtain what steps he should take
to obtain a portion of the bee of 1001. Levy was sentenced
to pay to the crown, he (prosecutor) having bten at con-
siderable expense in bringing the defendant to ju•tiee.—
The learned Serjeant said the better course would be for
the applicant to petition Sir O. Grey, the Home Secretary,
upon the subj. ct. That hon. baronet would refer the matter
to him, and upon his answer would mainly depend the ro
cult of the petition. Ile must say that he had a strung opi-
nion upon the matter already, but it would not be prudent
for him to nay then what it was.— The prosecutor said he
should adopt the course suggested.

PO LICE.-YrATERDAY.
BOW-STREET.--GRATITuDs.—A miserable-looking
young men was charged with stealing a 201. note bet
mpiug
to Mr. Thos. Elley, 3, Victornestreet, Ferringdon-streer—
Constable 152 F was on duty in Bedfordbury at an early
hour in the morning, when Mr. Elley informed him be bad
been robbed by a female. Ile was drunk, sad became very
abusive to the officer, who returned to his duty. Shortly
after the policeman observed the prisoner examining papers
in a pocket-book by the light of the lamp, and on inspecting
them found a 201. note, afterwards identified as the one lust
by Mr. Elley.—Mr. Jardine having heard the prisoner re-
peat the story told at the station ordered him to be dis-
charged.—Mr. Elley immediately repeated his abuse to the
of fur presuming to say that he had been in the com-
pany of a female and that he was drunk; bat he seemed
nothing loth to have the note restored to him.
WORSHIP-STREET.--besreitAtis Escol:NTSit Wivit
A 131,110LAII.—John Kelly was charged with having been
concerned with another man, not in custody, in breaking into
the house of Mr. Vaughan, a copper plats printer, Glouces-
ter-place, Hackney-road. The prosecutor, whose right arm
was supported in a sling, and the side of his head covered
with adhesive plaster, stated, that he left home with his wife
after properly securing the premises, upon the preceding
afternoon, and on his return at ten o'clock was about to open
the door with* key, when it was suddenly thrown open from
the inside. and the prisoner and another man rushed out and
attempted to escape. He seized the prisoner by the collar
and held him fast, when his companion suddenly turned upon
him and, drawing a heavy weapon from his pocket, dealt
him a terrible blow upon the head, which partially stunned
him. Before he could recover his assailant stabbed him with
a sharp instrument, the first of which cut through the breast
of his coat, and in warding off the others with his arm he
received several severe glebes in his hand. During the con-
flict, however, he resolutely maintained his hold of the pri.
soner, and his cries of " Murder" and " Police" at length
attracted the notice of several of his r.eighbours, at whose
appearance his as,ailant darted off and eluded their pursuit.
After handing the prisoner over to a policeman he examined
his apartment', and discovered that, though the place had
been thoroughly ransacked, and several articles packed up
ready for removal, his opportune arrival had frustrated the
intentions of the thieves.—ln answer to the charge the
prisoner 'aid that he was passing the door when he saw two
men rush from the house and pass the prosecutor, who in-
stantly
turned round, and, seizing him by the collar, charged
him with being one of them, and ultimately gave him into
custody.—Mr. Arnold, however, considered that the pri
toner's identification had been too conclusively proved to
admit of any doubt, and ordered him to he remanded for the
formal completion of the me.
THAMES.—A COWARDLY Caew.—Mr. It. Mirky,
master of the Arab, appeared to answer a summons for re-
fusing to pay 21. 7s. wages!, claimed by Henry Yould, one of
his crow. There were five other summonses. The claim
was resisted on the ground that the crew had abandoned
the vessel when it was in a state of imminent danger, lean
ing the captain alone to get it out of its difficulties—Yould
stated that, finding the vessel near some !ODIC rocks, which
were supposed to be the Gaskets, the captain oreered them
to lower the boat and go into it for safety, saying he would
stay by the vessel to ere the end of it, and they might after•
wards pick him up if they could. Some short time after the
captain celled out to them to approach the vessel, and threw
them out a line. After that he called the mate and some 6
others to get on beard, which they effected with considerable 1
difficulty. When the voyage was finished he asked the
captain for his wages, but the latter refused to let him have
Ib
them.—The captain, having stated that he had no part in 11
the ownership, nor any interest in the .'ethhclding of the Li
wages, was then sworn, and gave quite a different version of
the story. He said that, perceiving the danger to be immi-
nent, and w ishing to provide for every contingency, he ordered
the boat to be hung over the rail ; instead of doing so, how- 91
ever, they lowered the boat down, and the whole crew le
entered it. taking the boy with them; one man ran away
from the helm, leaving the vessel without any director, and i
he (the captain) had instantly to seize it. Whilst he wag at
the helm they put off and rowed away as fast as they could. I
In some time after, witness saw, by the bearing of the lights, 4
that the vessel was out of danger, and that it required only
a little assistance to ensure its safety. Witness then called
to the crew to come on board, and when he found they 3,
hesitated, he could not help calling them a parcel of cowards.
The mate and some others came on board, and he took the I
former below to show him by the chart that the danger had !
been passed. The others afterwards came on board, but with '
a great deal of hesitation. Mr. Ballantine thought the mas-
ter's statement was the most probable. The summons was
dismissed, and the others which depended on the same evi-
dence, were abandoned.
