This wee the of oneof the bankrupt., a partner
in the St. Albans Bank. against the decision of Mr. Com-
missioner Holroyd refusing his certificate. The judgment
of the learned Commissioner wee fully reported in the
Express of Aril 18,1&50.
Mr. Sturt, ,u person, argued in support of the apnea],
and referred to the report of the Commissioser's judgment
in Mr. Fonblanque's &ports.
The Vice-Chancellor called the bankrupt's attention to
a passage in his examination, as quoted in the Commis-
sioner's judgment, it which it was stated that Messrs.
Debenham sad Kinder had sent up a bill to be entered
short ; that the bankrupt's partner, Mr. Gibson, the other
bankrupt, urged him to send up all the hills they could
muster; and that on Messrs. Debenham end Kinder's bill
being produced, Mr. Gibson said, " Send it up ;" where-
upon the bankrupt, thinking his partner solvent end that
no harm could happen, did so, but that he now confessed
his weakness and irregularity in the transaction. His
Honour said that unless the effect of this admission could
be neutralised by any explanation, he feared that the court
had no authority to grant the certificate.
Mr. Sturt contended that when all the eireumitances of,
the case were considered, this could not be regarded in any
other light than the result of a mistaken view of his duty
in the embarrassment of the moment.

The Vice-Chancellor, without calling upon Mr. Morgan,
who appeared for the assignees, said that he was quite reedy
to believe that the bankrupt did not think of what he was
dein when be took the step in question, but that the set
elf a beaker in so dealing with a short bill could not be
eveelleeked. The interests of satiety, so far as they could
be reseeded consistently with doing justice in individual
ewes, regaired such a case to be strictly dealt with. A
wassail& of such a kind fell within a description in the
act of parliament which it was not moakaary to ehano-
•+alas, aid which deprived a bankrupt of his certificate.

BOGOR D. D. HZATIE, &Q.

RUIRILL T. Till LONDON AND NORTH WISTERN
RAILWAY COMTANY.-lIIPOZTAXT TO RAILWAY TL-

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a member of
the College of Surgeons, against the London and North I
Western Railway Company- to recover the sum of
U. 17s. 6d., expenses i to
the misdirection of
the company's servants.
Mr. Watson having stated that the proceedings were in-
stituted more for public benefit than private interest, called
the plaintiff, who showed that on the morning of Sunday,
the 13th of April last, having an engagement to fulfil at
Wansford, near Peterborough, be repaired to the Euston-
square terminus of the above railway, and took a first-class
ticket; and having seen his luggage safely deposited, begot
into a carriage pointed out to him by the guard, whose
name he had since ascertained to be Richards, who told him
that by that he would be taken to Peterborough. On the
train stopping at Wolverton, he slighted to take some re-
freshment, and when resuming his seat, was reassured by
Richards that if he kept where he was, be would be
conveyed to his destination. At Blisworth be heard some
person on the platform call out " Northampton," " Peter-
borough," but he took no rimier, and remained where he
was. On the train proceeding be saw that he was on the
wrong route ; and at the station at Weedon, the fact being
made known, he was sent back in a carriage by the station-
master to Northampton, from whence he hired a chaise to
Wsnaford, the expense being the sum he now sought to re-
f:Orel..

Mr. J. Vipend, of Wansford, said that, in expectation of
the arrival of the plaintiff, ne went to meet his, but found
only his luggage, and was told that he must have gone on
to Weedon.
In reply, John Richards, theard, said he recollected
the plaintiff speaking to him at Wolguverton as to the safety
of his 'wage, but strenuously denied having from first to
last directed him which carriage to ride in. At Blisworth,
where the Peterborough were detached from those of the
Birmingham carriages, the porter, an usual, called out
" Passengers for Northampton and Peterborough change
here."

His Honour thought that after the plaintiff had seen his
luggage safely placed ►t the Euston-square terminus he
ought to have been directed to the carriage he was to enter
destined for that place ; and he also thought that each car-
riage (as they were on the South Eastern line) ought to
have in it or about it the place to which it was going
legibly written. On the whole he considered the plaintiff
had been inconvenienced and put to expense through the
company's servants in London, and he should therefore
decide in his favour.--Judgment for plaintiff.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Robert Wright,;B4ii;;;tie; seamen belonging to the
Ocean steamer, were charged with having smuggled a con-
siderable quantity of tobacco. Wright pleaded guilty. The
other four defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Beverley
appeared for the Customs, and Mr. Pelham for the de-
fendants. The vessel had teen seised.

On the 15th of last month an officer of the Customs it ap-
peared boarded the Ocean in the river, and upon rummag-
ing found a number of packages of tobacco concealed under
the forecastle deck, to which all the defendants belonged.
The place of concealment was exposed by the insertion of •
chisel under a board, upon the removal of which the to-
bacco made its appearance ; the only other way to which
secret cupboard was through the locker in which the ropes
were kept. The officer found the defendants in the
vessel.

Wright, who pleaded guilty, having been fined in the
penalty of 1001., and ordered in default to be imprisoned,
was then put into the witness-boa by Mr. Beverley, to
give evidence against the other defendants, but no confir-
mation of the testimony having been given,
The Lord Mayor said he could not think of convicting
under such circumstances. The captain, it was obvious,
knew nothing whatever of the Contraband Act, and could
only say that all the men who had been discharged on at-
leount of the smuggling transaction belonged to the fore-
I castle, which wee presumptive proof that they were aware
of it.

The conductor of one of Ball's omnibuses was summoned
before Alderman Cubitt for haying refused to carry a gen-
tleman, there being room in the carriage, and no reason-
able grounds of objection.
Mr. W. M'Naughten, of Ilerne-hill, colonial broker,
said, on Thursday, at half-past six in the evening, wishing
to go to Brixton, I went to the omnibus stand in Grace-
church-street, and waited till the uefendant's omnibus
drove into the street. There were several persons wait-
ing with me, and when the omnibus reached the stand there
was a rush to get in. I was in ample time to get in, but
seeing two females at the door I allowed them to paw me ;
I was on the point of following them in when the de-
fendant shut the door, saying there was no more room and
that 1 could not go in. I expostulated with him, but he
said he was keeping seats for his regular passengers, and he
could not admit me. I told him he had no right to keep
seats, and again requested that he would let me in. There
was at the time another gentleman standing behind me, and
the defendant upon seeing him said, "That gentleman is a
regular passenger ; there is room for him." The defendant
then elbowed me aside in an uncivil manner, and allowed
the gentleman alluded to to walk in. I afterwards observed
that there was room for another passenger in the omnibus,
but the answer to my repeated application was, that the
conductor was keep* the place for another regular
customer, and under these circumstances I considered it to
be my duty to summon him.
Mr. Buchanan having ingeniously cross-examined the
insmplainant, hut without causing the slightest change in
ths oomplexion of the evidence, submitted to the Alder-
's= that the defendant wa. entitled to discharge upon the
gentlemen for whom he had kept the plan-% one of
which the complainant endeavoured to pusses, himself of.
It was, ho observed, the practice of the regular passengers,
In order to secure themselves against disappointment to
pay the fare of the evening upon arriving in town, whe-
ther they might bo able to take seats or not.
Alderman Cubitt—lf you prove that the places were paid
for there is an end to the cue.

Mr. Buchanan laid he laboured under the difAculty of
being obliged to call the defendant to prove that he had re-
eeived the fare, but he trusted that as Mr. Ball, the pro-
prictor, was the bona fine defendant in the case, the evi-
dence of the conductor would be admissible.
Alderman Cubitt said he could listen to no evidence of
the kind proposed, and expressed himself perfectly satisfied
with the statement made by Mr. M'Plaughten. All he
bad, therefore, to du wu to limit the amount of the
penalty.
Mr. M'Saughtca said he was bound to state that the de-
fendant had not used any insolent language ; at the same
time it was necessary to observe that if the defendant had
respectfully intimated that the places were engaged to
regular customers there would have been no occasion for the

present proceeding.
The Alderman than lined the defendant in the stun of
Ithi. and meta, and ordered that the judgment should be
entered nu the Lek of the lieenae.

ISO WSTKEET.

A gentleman from the office of the Managed London
News, made an application to Mr. Henry under the follow-
ing circumstances :
An intimation had boen received from the French autho-
rities that no copies of the French edition of the Illustrated
News would be permitted to circulate in France, without
the signature of a London magistrate having been obtained
to a declaration, certifying that they did not contain articles
which had been previously published in French journals.
He requested, therefore, that Mr. Henry would attach his
signature toe certificate ho produced, drawn up in a legal
form and in conformity with the terms required.
Ms:. Henry said he would not undertake to promise so
much. He had no objection to certify that applicant, in
his presence, had sworn to observe the conditions enforced.
A form was then drawn up according to the terms men-
tioned by Mr. Henry, who then attached his signature.

brought up by Inspector Wise'', of the London and North
Western Railway Company's police, charged with the
offence of placing stones on the rail at Kilburn.
The case was proved, and the young delinquent was fined
405., or two months' Imprisonment.
The penalty was paid by his father.
