COURT OF BANICBUPTCY.—YEETEHDAT.
Before Mr.Commialoner Shepherd.
THING, READING, AND BABINOBTOILE RAILWAY.—Mr.
Lawrence applied for the usual order directing certain per-
sons, members and directors of the above company to make
out the company's balance sheet before the examination of
Mr. Hill, the "elicitor to the company, and the production of
the minute book. It appeared that certain persons acted
almost nnifotmly as members of the committee of manage-
ment, with the exception of one. There would be great
trouble in calling all, and therefore he would only select those
gentlemen whose names most frequently appear in the pro-
ceedings of the company. These gentlemen were the lion.

Edward Green. The following order, which is one of the

CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO UR T.-YESTERDAY.

OLD COURT.

The 12th and last session of the present mayoralty was
opened this morning by the Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
Messrs. Ald. klusg.-ove and Farneonsb, and Sheriffs Challis
and Kennard.—After the Grand Jury had been selected
and sworn, the Recorder informed them that the calendar
contained the names of upwards of 180 prisoners, and it was
probable that the number would be considerably augmented
during the week; at the same time he did not expect that such
increased number would exceed the number usual ou such oc-
casions. After commenting on the more prominent offences,
he mentioned a case in which the committing magistrate had
admitted the wife of the prisoner, from whom he was sepa-
rated, to be adduced as evidence. He saw no reason why
this departure from the usual practice should have taken
place; and as the law held, and properly held, that a wife
was no evidence in support of the husband, it was laid down
by the best writers that she should not be received as a wit-
ness against him ; and he, therefore, thought it his duty to
inform them that they should not receive the evidence of the
wife against the husband. Having commented further on
the present calendar, the Recorder dismissed the Grand
Jurors to their duties.
