COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-JrNE 18.

• The Niel Prins sittings for Middlesex, after Term, coat.
mooed this morning, at Westminster, before Lord Chief
Justine Cockburn, and a special jury. The list contains 85
eaves, 40 of which are remanets, and 46 are marked ape-
aid juries.

lIEBY AND WIPE 0. THE CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the
defendants.
The defendants pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. Serjeant O'Brien and Mr. Powell ware counsel for the
plaintiffs ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. T. S. Pritchard
were counsel for the defendants.
The plaintiff i a gas-fitter, in Greek-street, Soho. On
Good Friday, 1861, Mrs. Kirby, ha-eider. and • little boy went
to the Crystal Palace, Upwards of 80,000 persons were
present that day, and the crowding on the return of the
visitors to the kilns was extreme. When the plaintiff's
wife got to a temporary barrier erected near the turnstiles
the pressure was very great. The barrier was swayed by
the pregame, and the foot of one of the upright poste came
back on her foot. She fainted, and wag after some little
delay taken to the ladies waiting-room, and Dr. Thomas
was called in. He found the foot and leg dreadfully
contused and swollen. She was afterwards conveyed to her
home and attended by Mr. Winston, surgeon, Haverstock•
hlll. He was in daily attendance on her for nearly two
months, and there was great difficulty in keeping off mall,
Station. He attended her altogether about four months,
and his charges amounted to 361. 15s. She still suffered
mach pain in her foot. Evidence wee also given to show
that the plaintiff had Incurred additional expense to
between 401. and 501.
The defence was that the barriers were properly erected
by competent persons, sod which experience had proved
to be successful. There had been occasions when larger
numbing were present, and the barrios sitisfactorily &s-
-ilvered the purposes required. There was great difficulty
experienced by the police in managing the crowd on this
day. They were more unruly and troublesome than usual,
and the company contended that this was an unavoidable
accident over which they bad no control, and,for which they
were not liable. They exceedingly regretted the accident,
but as trustees for the shareholders they were bound to
defend the case.
Ellilktt01) was given by the police and others to show the
csestruction of the barriers and the unruly character of the
crowd. It was also stated in evidence that the barrier
could not have swerved as described by the plaintiff's wife.
The shares driven into the ground were found secure the
' same night, but the top rail was broken. The pressure upon
the barriers was very great for two hours.
The learned Judge having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict for the defendant.

THE ATTORMIT-OINZZAL V. leLlllll.
Thin was an information at the instance of the Commie-
skews of Inland Re against Mr. M'Lean, earempoel
gilder, carrying on business in Fleet-street and Ox
skeet, to recover four several penalties of 501. each for the
non-delivery of Mann is rupee* of maraud tame, to
which be was liable.
The Attothey.General, Mr. J. lake, and Mr. Bevan
were for the drown ; and Mr. Serpent Hayes and Mr. H.
Matthews for the defendant.
It appeared from the evidence that the defendant bad
emitted to return a man servant, • dog, and a tilted wt.
The latter he Ina in the habit at snag in going to and
from his places of business and the railway statism.
Mr. Serpent Hayes did not adduce any evideoce on the
part of the defend, but submitted that the defendant was
not liable, as the terms of the act under which the infor-
mation wee lied applied only to the place where the party
resided, and there was no proof that the defendant resided
at either of his shops. He also contended that the cart
was exempt from duty, as the defendant need it for the
of his business when he drove in it Msad from the
= and that if the defendant had bees guilty of the
offence waled by the act he was only liable to one
penalty of 501, and not to that sum fur each of the alleged
°wisdoms.
The learned Baron said be would resters the points for
the court above, but he would bold,es at present advised,
that the defendant was liable to the whole four penalties.
Perhaps, however, the crown would be satin ed with one
cd .504
Mr. J. Locke said be would pram for the font penalties.
Mr. Baron Wilde recollected while the crown was not so
sewers.
Mr. J. Looks said be would consent to aooept two penal-
ties, if the defendant would not move the court above on the
points of law.
Mr. &rise* Hayes could not wee that
The learned Dam then directed to

TIIII ATTOZNIY-011.NERAI. V. 0011111.
This was an information against the defendant, a jeweller,
in Commercial-street, Whitochapel, for selling tickets in a
foreign lottery.
Mr. Welsby was 0e the crown ; and Mr. Hodpon for the
defendant.
The defendant, Mr. Gobete, was proceeded against under
6 Geo. 111., c. 35, sec. 29, which enacted that any person
who should sell a ticket for • chance in any foreign lottery
should be liable to a penalty of 2001. It came to the know-
ledge of the Commlnionera of Inlaid 'Went* that the
dehiscent was advertising the tale of ties* in foreign lot-
teries, and by their direction two Aims I. the detective
force went to his shop, and purchased each a chance in the
'Royal Netherlands State Lottery for a sum of 6s. 6d. The
defencLint had been warned not to deal in them tickets, but
lie continued to du so, and the crown therefore proceeded
against him for the recovery of two penalties.
Mr. Hodgson, on the part of the defendant, submitted
that the act did not awly to the sale in this country of
tickets in A lottery established by lawful authority in a

foreign country.
Mr. Baron Wilde was clearly of opinion that the legisla-
ture intended to prevent gambling by the queen's subjects
in foreign lotteries by means of tickets sold in this country.
Mr. liodgeon said, in extenuation of the defendant's con-
duct, that be was a foreigner, sod had been for some time in
the habit of selling tickets in thee* lotteries without know-
ing it was illegal. lie had also bean fortified by the &cake
of Mr. Sergeant Storks, the judge of the Shoreditch County
Court, who, in 18513, in a cue brought before him, maid he
was clearly of opinion that the act only applied to lotteries
et up in this country, and that if a lottery was legal
in Holland they had no right to question the legality of the
sale of tickets in itta this country. The defendant thought
be was more justified in acting upon this decision than upon
the interpretation given to the act bv the police. The fact
of the Isle of the tickets not having been denied.
The learned judge directed the jury to find a verdict for
the Grown.
Mr. Welsby said he would be content with one penalty,
and the jury returned a verdict for the crows for 2001.
Leave was given to move upon the point of law raked by
the learned counsel, in the event of the 2001. being paid into
court within a week.

COURT OA BANKRUPTCY.—Juzia 18.
Piston Mr. Oommisioser Orebarn.)

IN CHAD = WILLIAM.

This was an examination meeting. The bankrupt was •
leather feotor of New Weston-street, Bermondsey. The
following report inabeen mode upon the cam by Noma Paul
and Turner. of Colemanctreet, the acoonstanta venally em-
ployed in the one :
' "The above bankrupt oommenoed bushman in October,
1868, as a loather factor. The accounts we have prepared
extend from that date to the date of the bankruptcy, 28th
February, 1882. We bays now to report the result of our
investigation. According to hie looks, the bankrupt wee
not possessed of any capital at the time be commend
business ; on the contrary, he appears to have been in debt
661. 12s. 4d., and the only property he apparently then
possessed was household funning% mined at 251„;taitz
a deficiemy of 411.12 x. 4d. The bankrapea wife wass
of certain furniture which bad been given band settled apes
her by her father, in 1858, the velar of which me
have not ascertained. The total amount of the
coosignmeats made to the bankrupt as paned to credit in
his books during the 000370 of his trading was 94,2611.

opened Knights had been bankrupt. Afterwards the bank-
rupt commenced drawing ou Knights, and taking Knights'
drafts on others, thereby enabling &pipits the more easily
to obtain credit Prom others. There is a deficiency Is the
cash of 4181. unaccounted for. On the Met of January,
1859, a payment of 321. appeared to have been mode to one
Robert (lake, for which amount be stood as • debtor ; but
the bankrupt can give no explanation of the matter, and
cannot say whether the amount is really owing to his estate
or not. The bankrupt his been in the haoit of rendering,
as a factor, to his principals, account sales in some instances
at a lower price, in others less weight, and in other
ewes both cash and weight being hen than
those charged by him to his customers. We
cannot at present state the whole amount of such
differences. The bankrupt has had no accommodation bills,
nor are any other features exhibited by his books incon-
sistent with a regular course of business, except that be his
paid from 5 to 12 per cent. per annum for the discount of
hills. The deficiency account @bows the bankrupt's debts
and liabilities beyond hie assets to be 7,7971., but this in-
cludes 3,4291. as liabilities on bills receivable, =ay of
which will probably rank against the estate ; also 2,4891. for
bad debts. The bankrupt's profits have hen 3,7581., but
this includes a sum of 1,0021. as " charges," which is com-
posed principally of the excess charged by the bankrupt to
his customers beyond the amount of account sales returned
to his principals ; and even supposing the 1,002. to have
been a legitimate profit, still the trade and house and per-
sonal expenses of 4,6051. would exceed the whole amount.
On the application of Mr. Linkiater for the assignees, an
adjournment was ordered.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
Thr II CORNILTUS CASTLE.
The bankrupt wee a dentist, of Grosvenor-street, New
Bond-street. He came to the court in November last,
owing about 3,0001., but giving up no assets. He now ap-
plied for his order of discharge. There have been frequent
adjournments with a view to an arrangement being made
with the creditors, but satisfactory terms had not been
eed up
agreed
on.
Mr. Leonine, opposed for the assignees ; Mr. Bargood
supported.
In the course of the discussion, it appeared that the bank-
rupt bad originally petitioned the court under the " ar-
=gement change of the old act, and that the proceedinp
were still pending. Under this proceeding he had paid
2001. into court.
His Honour stated that tulles some proposal were marls
which was satisfactory to the creditors, be should be
obliged to dismiss the petition on account of the format I
proceedings being still pending.
Mr. Lawrence said the meditate were willing to ac Apt an
undertaking on the part of the bankrupt to set aside 250 f.
a year out of his professional earnings, which were believed
to be about 100.
_ln the period over which the accounts
enbended he bad spent 9601. a year.
Mr. fiargood said it was impossible for the bankrupt to do
'this, as his earnings were nothing like what was repressuted.
He was willing to set aside 2001. a year if his profits yielded
that amount beyond 3001. a year. He could not psy the
Maly to his creditors unison be seoeived it.
Mr. Lawrence, under those circumstances, asked that the
petition should be di/mimed.
His Honour made se ceder nowirdingly.
llr NZ SAADI AND MADE.
The bankrupts were merehenta, of Poole, in Darestshirs,
having also an establishment in Newfoundland. They came
to the court a few months ago. last the estate had previously
been in course of liquidation. The joint debts are 56,0001.,
of which upwards of 19,0001. are due to the Newfoundland
creditors. The emits are stated at 24,0001., of which about
23,0001. are is Newfoundland. This was the sitting fer 'n-
omination and discharge.
Mr. Bagley supported ; them was no opposition.
