COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr..ooonnlestoner. Yana
CIRTIFICATE ANTUOED.—The case of T. Bate, hatter,
of Birmingham was before the court on Friday. The
application ,or h'is certificate was opposed by the assignees on
the ground of fraud, in the concealment of property, and
reckless trading. The Commissioner now delivered judg-
meat. After easefully weighing all the circumstances, he
was satisfied that the bankrupt had not only concealed
property which the vigilance of the wigwam had discovered,
but that he had still property concealed somewhere. Ile
had offered a c:mpesition which was refused, and had then
made himself a bankrupt• on the 20th January last, keeping
all the while property worth 5001. concealed in a dark vault
in the r mr ot his premises, which was not discovered till the
12th of February. By his goods account be acknowledged
having received 2,3001. since the let September last;
and to account for this sum he had alleged, among
other things, a payment of 5121. to a person
Hayward, not a trader, but one of. those convenient per-
son* of whose loan there was no other evidence than
the bankrupt's own admission. The terms of the certi-
ficate requiri d that he (the commissioner) should certify
thst*the bankrupt bad made a full discovery of all his estate
ant effects. Believing that there wee still property eon-
coiled, he would not certify any • uch thing. The certificate
must therefore be refused altogether. Unfortunately, in
cast a of concealment like this, the refusal of the certificate
. was but an ineffective punishment, nor would it ever be prac-
! tinily effective till the law of reputed ownership= was appl
ied
ied
to all property found in the poemoeiou ot an cert
i bankrupt, and each of the creditors was enabled to seise it
for his own use if it were not *1.1.4 by the assignees.

lated a condition proposed by Mr. Barker that each man
should leave his tint week's wages in his (Mr. Barker's)

tion, suddenly dismissed them, offering each man 124. tor the

FAEIMLI. O. HAIMISON.—Tuz Cottc.—The plaintiff in
this case, James Farrell, is one of the parties, who, the other
day, was tried before Mr. Justice Creeswell, and acquitted,
on a charge of piracy, and the present action was brought to
recover the sum of 431. 10s. for labour pertorrned for tne de•
fendant, Mr. Thomas Harrison. The plaintiff was the mate
of the reset called the Cora, of which vessel the defendant
is the owner, and he (the plaintiff) now made a claim of
431. 10s. wages for a voyage performed hence. to the coast of
Africa and back, upon that vessel. Toe defence set up
was that the plaintiff had forfeited his claim in conse-
quence of gross misconduct and ft igrant breach of duty.
The particulars relative to the disputh which gave rise to
the present action were published at the time the investiga-
tion on the charge of piracy was heard before Mr. Rushton,
at the police-eourt.—The learned judge, having recapitulated
e.e ev,denee to the jury, said the qirestion was this, whether
is their judgment the plaintiff had a weil.foueded fear of
gnat, aced unlawful and personal rialenee, and whether he
slipped the cable and anchor, which act was the alleged
gross dereliction of duty, from that well.tounded feat ;
be if so,
they must find for the plaintiff, but if they should of
opinion that the defendant bad established the case which he
nad instructed his counsel to set up, their verdict must be for
him.—The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned
a verdict for the plaintiff for 431. 10s. Damages—orie
