ee eeitere. The private estate was liable in the first in- I
Sartre to the private creditors ; and it was no moister
when • man came for his money to say, " Wait
a twelvemonth or so, and if it turn out that
our private estates are more than sufficient to pay our
private debts, you will come in for the surplus." A
banker so tendueting his business called for the censure of i
a enniniercial court, which ought to watch tramactions of
this kind strictly. This was • came in which he had felt
much anxiety and regret, on account of the great me of the
pertners, one of whom was 84, the other upwards of 70,
and afflict, I with paralysis; it was impossible to look at
such • ease without great eammineration, and a wish
to extend that commiseration as far as passible
consistent with justice. But these were rasa* which in-
volved • meet important public principle; and he was
in this painful position: the assignees, men of
I.2gehlharacter, shrewd and acute in busittess, and them-
selves *utterer, by the hankrupte' conduct, offered no op-
position, neither did any of the ereditore—in itself a favour.
able circumstance; and 72 creditor, had signed &document,
bearing testinione to the high character of Mr. Neale, ex-
pressing their belief that in all his transactionns he
had conducted himself with integrity, and recom-
mending that he should have his certificate. But
the act required him, notwithstanding, to look into the
fact, of this and even- CAW; and to judge of the bankrupt 'e
conduct as well before as after the bankruptcy. This
I placed the court in a somewhat painful position, making it,
no to speak, both judge and advocate ; and it was to be
regretted that, in all courts where the interests of the
public were to be considered, there was not some one in the
character of a public prosecutor, especially in ewes of this
description, where the interests of the public required that
the conduct of a bankrupt should be rifted and inquired
into. Three bankrupts had been in business for a very
long period, 40 years, upwards of 20 of which they had
been the surviruse partriers. The certificate of Mr. Nash
hail been rented, as of the %email-clam ; and Mr. Pennell,
the officiel assignee, who acted in every case with the
strictest aceuraey, and the greatest possible candour, had
very properly drawn attention in his report to the solid
distinction which existed between the bankrupts. Mr.
Nash was much more advanced in years than the other, and
of much less active habits; he had taken little or no part
in the business, and was what was called a sleeping part-
ner, still more so as age and infirmity had crept
upon him. Mr. Bagley had argued (end he was quite
right in prineiplc) that no one hail a right to ho' • sleeping
partner in a concern from which he drew profits. That was tor-
net its theory; hut in practice melody wouldsaythat•eleep-
ins partner in a concern was equally guilty, and to be visited
with elitist reprobation with one who took an active part in
the businees, and yet neglected all the duties he undertook
to fulfil. That would be to confound all distinctions. Al-
lusion had been made to theft: large banking concerns in
London in which Mies Coutte and the ('ountese of Jersey
were partners; and in the event of such an unheard-of oc-
currence as the failure of these hanks, should these titled
persons come Mere him he should tell them that they
were not free from blame in not looking a little into the
muerte,. But it is quite a different case where the parties
professing to manage a concern neglected their duty. Ile
had thought Mr. Nash entitled to his certificate in cense-
qui nee IA his extreme age, and his having taken nn part in
the active management of the bank ; and his conduct had
been most meritorious, fur as soon as he suspected that
the Alen of the lank were not in a fiuurishing
condition he sent for his solicitor, and insisted
on the hank being closed, giving as a reason that certain
noblemen and gentlemen were about paying in their rents,
and that those SUMS would be in jeopardy. This step was
very importantly conducive to the welfare of the creditors
at large ; for had he not done that which he had really no
legal authority to do—namely, closed the bank without the
consent of his partner—there might have occurred fraudu-
lent preference, and other things which often took place on
the eve of tenure. Mr. Nash had not a private debt of any
kind when ho failed, the bank owed him a small balance,
and his whole private estate went without incumbrance to
the joint creditors. It would have been wrong to have
withheld his certificate; his case was strongly distinguished
boa th:a of Mr. Neale. Mr. Neale was a more active man,
wad bail taken a very active part, not only in this, but, he
regretted to say, in many other concerns. He was one of
thaw men who liked to have a great many irons in the fire
—too many, as it had turned out, for his ultimate peace of
mind and the benefit of his creditors. lie had attended to
the bank front day to day till this dreadful
affliction had visited him ; but be seemed to
have looked very carelessly, to say the least,
into what was doing there. Instead of watching what the
clerks were about, he seemed to have shut his eyes to the
whole. The practical mutters of the bunk seemed to have
been left whully to two clerks, one named Johnson, at
Reigate, the other Overton, at llorking. It was very sur-
prising that Mr. Neale, attending at litigate from day to
day, should not have noticed and prevented the loss to the
bunk of 1.3001. This Mr. Johnson bad been appointed re-
ceiver of the poor rates about PM. When called upon to
pay the guardians, he had paid them out of the bank
funds ; and haring neglected to make a rate till it was too
late, the money had become a loss to the hank. It was sin-
gular that Mr. Neale, attending from day to day, an astute
and clever man, taking credit to himself for attending to the
affairs of the hank, should not have been able to prevent this.
It was still more singular that this man had been allowed
to contract a further debt of 5001.; so that the bank was
now minus 1,7001. by him. It was char Mr. Neale had not
wetehed he ought to do the conduct of those under him.
At Dorking, when Overton dame he was found a defaulter
to the extent of 3,5811/. What was Mr. Neale about to
permit a default to such an amount? AS the only acting
partner in the bank, it was his business to look at the bookie
and not let the clerks do as they liked. What was more
strange, on the de ith of Overton, his eon was appointed to
esseeted him ; and new he was a defaulter to the amount of
1781., beeides 1101/. in respect of a false entry, which being
detected, he had refunded the money. It was clear Mr.
Neale, as the acting partner, heel not done his duty. Ile
ha-I earrirel on his businesss without capital, and nearly
without profit. Notwithstanding this he had speculated in
hops, and lost 4,0001. It was said why might nut a
banker speculate? But he must nut do ai with the
bank funds, the property of the depositors. Nut
content with this, he hurl reultarked in a share concern, an
insurance company. But the feet must adverse to him was,
at the bunkruptey he was found to be indebted to the
concern nu less titan in,oniu. Thinking it would be highly
advantegeoue to his family, he had invested money in a
brewery fur his eons, to whom he lent them a large sum
on promissory note, at very long slates, some a couple of
year,. had a banker a right thus to overdrew his account,
and lend the money without security? Certainly nut.
Iluw were the hank depositors te, be paid when they called
for their money, always remembering that the bulk itself
hail no capital.? It turned out that these young men,
being men of honour, and feeling fur their own and their
father's chars( ter, had repaid this money. Of this Mr.
Neale ought to have some benefit, though the act was out
his own ; hut he could not get rid of the fact, that he had
conducted the (rank negligently, overdrawn his amount, and
lent the motley only on personal security. But for
the et ry proper feeling sin the part of the eons,
they might hive refused to repay the money till
the notes were due. A blinker ought to taLc real security
fur money lent. not a mere preemies...es note, payable tso
or three years after slate. It hail turned out, by the acci-
dent of a point of law, that Mr. Neale 's private east to could
nut he touched by the Maritime Ineuranee Company, and
consequently the surplus would go to be divided amongst
the creditors of the bunk. This case differiel materially
from that of Gibson and Start, decided by Mr. Commis.
*ion e Iledroyd. Here the bankrupts wen, not opposed, as
in the other case. and there we besides a very large divi-
dend, probably as much as 13.. 411. in the pound. Ile
always baked at this cinumstance, thinking it very favour-
able to a bankrupt. In the St. Allman" Bank there was
strong evidence of inteconduct, irregularity, and extrava-
-41.1 exoenditure in this raw there was nothing of the
kind. Whet weight, then, ought to be given to the fact
that lit re there was no opposition, and that 72 of the lead-
ing men in the county recommended that the bankrupt
eliould have an immediate certificate, though they had
sell:red by Lim considerably? Much weight was due
to this and he thought that justice would be
sitistied by suspending this certificate for three
calendar months from the day on which the first applica-
tion was nude ; that would give it him in a very few days.
The only remeining question was what class the certificate
should lie of. The first and highest class was given to
those bankrupts whose failure was wholly unavoidable,
arisir.g Irons inevitable losses and misfortunes. Were
these, words to be applied strictly, very few indeed would
t first class certifieetes: but, putting a liberal interpreta-
tion on the sinuses, he had granted such certificates in one
or two Caws. lie did not grant it to Mr. Nash, because had ,
be attended to the bask instead of going to sleep in his
parlour, he would have done much earlier that which he did
et hut, namely. put the matter its attain for having the assets
equally dividiel amongst the creditors. But what was the
cause of Mr. Neale 'II failure? It had nothing to do with una-
voidahle losses and misfortUllet ; it had arisen from the clerks
being allowed to involve the bank in a' debt of nearly
osoool. The loss on the hops was 4.0001., besides other
IOWA• and if those sums had been added to the assists already
realised there would have been no failure. Therefore he
was band to say that Mr. Neale's failure had arieen, not
from antarcustavoislable hates or misfortune, but from his
own neg • nee and misconduct. Such being the case, he
was boun to award him only a certificate of the third class.
The judgment of the court would therefore be recorded,
that the certificate be suspended fur three months from the
data: when it was first asked, the 27th of November last ;
'when granted to be of the third class.

till a day or two before the trial. Ile knew nothing of the

had issued. In neither of these two actions did he attend
at the trial, and he had not paid Mr. Smith, his attorney,
any casts. lie had kept a banking account, and there
was 6d. to his debit. The only assets givtii up was a

who wag then 25 years of age and bad been in his service
at a salary of 301. a-year and Lis board. The business Was

Mr. Linklater objected to these questions. What hap-
pened to the bankrupt years ago had nothing to du with
the present case.
His Honour said the examination must proceed. It
might be important, because he might be inclined to make
allowances for inexperience ; but if he saw a long carter of
the same courses he should consider it systematic.
In further examination the bankrupt said that about 16
yearn ago he was connected with a publication called
Figaro in London. He published it, but it was not his
publication. Ile had also published works called "The
Thief," and " A Slap at the Church," but neither work
was his property.
By Mr. Link later—" The Slap at the Church " was a pe-
riodical, and continued about four or five months 011:V.
His cash-book contained entries of his trade and personil
expenditure. He went away in 1549, in consequence
'of the proceedings in the Court of Chancery respecting
the royal etchings. Mr. Smith, his solicitor in the case, as-
sured him that he had a clear case, and that the proceed-
ings would terminate in his favour. Counsel had also been
of the same opinion, and it was in consequence of Mr.
Smith's advice that he appealed to the Vice-Chancellor.
Since the termination of Messrs. Ingram and Cooke's ac-
tion he had seen Mr. Moore, of their ufsee, who told him
he did not believe that he (bankrupt) had anything to do
with defending the action. He had offered one or more
creditors a compositi ~,,, but in consequence of Mr. Smith
refusing to accept 150/. for his claim of 5110/. he declined
going to the other creditors. Mr. Smith had subsequently
consented to take 2.. 6d. in the pound.
His Honour said that the bankrupt could not be taken
by surprise in being called on to give a full account of his
transactions, seeing that he had had the experience of one
bankruptcy end two insolvencies. MR answers to some of
the questions put were vague and irrelevant. He (the
commissioner) should pass over all questions as to actions
and railway speculations, and confine himself to the trans-
action with his (bankrupt's) son. Ile appeared at present
to be either unable or unwilling to give an account as to
what had become of the greater bulk of the proceeds of
the sale of the business, which had been sold to his son 25
per cent. below its value. It did not appear that there hail
been any valuation of the stock by any disinterested
party, or any person present to teat the faith of
the purchase. If he had done his duty in giving
those proceeds to his creditors there would now
have been is. 6d. in the pound, but, instead of
properly doing so, he lived at his pleasure in France.
The case had been before the court since November, and
on the monde that there were no vouchers for the matters
to which lie had referred, and that there was no excuse for
their not having been furnished, the examination must be
adjourned sine die.
Mr. Linklater applied for protection.
Mr. Lawrence had nothing to say on that point. He
would leave it to the discretion of the court.
His honour said that as on intimation had been given that
a satisfactory statement might be made hereafter by the
bankrupt, he would grant protection for a short period.
Mr:Linklater said that perhaps a day might be named
for the bankrupt to come up again at his own expense.
His Honour said not in a less period than six months,
and not then unless the assignees expressed themselves
reasonably satisfied.

THE POLICE COURTS.
CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.
CAUTION TO KEEPERS Or John
Moran Wood, the landlord of the Red Cow, Barbican,
was summoned for knowingly permitting bad characters to
assamble in his house.
Mr. Holder objected to the ease being gone into, on the
ground that the defendant was not behind the bar when
the alleged offence was committed. Now, the act clearly
specified that the party summoned must himself have know-
ingly permitted the bail characters. The fact was, that the
defendant was not present, but his wife, and therefore he
could not he held responsible. It was like the case of a
wife receiving stolen goods. Surely the hasband could not
be punished for her act.
Mr. Alderman Copeland said it would be absurd to admit
such an objection. if the defendant left his wife in charge
he must be held just as responsible as if he was present him-
self. The Cane must proceed.
City officer No. 50 then stated that, about two o'clock oa
the morning of the 10th, in consequence of bearing of two
robberies in the neighbourhood, he went into the defendant's
house, and found from forty to fifty persons assembled
within. Several of the parties he knew to be convicted
thieves. Ile pointed them out to the landlady, and said
that there had been a robbery committed by some persons
whom he supposed to he in the house, and asked her to di-
net their being turned out. She replied, " Yon had better
teen them out yourself." lie said, "It was not his duty
slo so." He then went nut, and saw that several of the
dessupplied with liquor. He stayed at the door

see whether they were turned out, but they were not. Ile
then got another constable to watch it, and it was not
until half-past three o'clisek that the house was clear.
Mr. Holder, in answering the complaint, again alluded to
the fact of the wife, and not the defendant, being behind the
bar, and the difficult position of a woman under such cir-
cumstances. She wished to know who the parties were;
and as soon as the ottlecr informed her of their character,
she desired the barman to eject them.
The barman was called, and he spoke to that fact. In
consequence of the conduct of the parties, however, it was
more than an hour before he could get them nut.
Mr. Alderman Copeland asked whether the house was
open all night ?
Mr. Holder said it was known as a "night-house."
Mr. Alderman Copeland thought the case proved, and
was of opinion that a fine of 51. ought to he inflicted.
Alderman Sidney took s view of the care more favourable
to the defendant, and the penalty was reduced to Ws., with
a serious caution.
LAMBETH.
LORD AND LADY IIeNTINOTOWZR.—A lady of prepos-
sessing appearance and good address, who described herself
as Lady lluntingtower, accompanied by the ltev. W. Cuff,.
a clergyman of the established church, waited on the lion.
O. C. Norton, to present the following memorial:—
" May it please your worship—l trust your worship will
excuse the liberty I have taken in laying before you, in
writing, my motive for once more obtruding on your valu-
able time, but as my health is errs delicate, and the excite-
ment of public speaking might be too much fir my weak
frame, I take the liberty of saying that since I last had the
honour of waiting upon your worship, means have been
tried by my friends to conciliate my husband's family, but
PA all these efforts have proved unavailing, I am compelled,
though with great reluctance, with your worship's per-
mission, to adopt this means to lay my case before a
discerning public, and in doing so, I beg to axy
that 1 am willing to stand at the bar of public
opinion. I court inquiry, and feel satisfied the verdict
' will be in my favour. I ant informed by the rev. gentle-
man who kindly accompanies me to-day that nu his calling
ea
my husband's uncle on my behalf, he was informed that
k was asserted that previous to my marriage with Lord
Ilantingtower I was leading a disreputable life; but I have
the satisfaction of learning that the result of the reverend
gentleman's inquiries have entirely coutradieted this slander.
It has also been disputed that I ever neat to Scotland with
Lord Ifuntingtower, but I assert, from the testimony that
could be produced from there, the fact can be proved. I
beg to enclose the copy of a letter addressed by Lord
Huntingtower to myself, in which he fully admits that
fact, and also a copy of another letter, which is couched
in the most affectionate terms possible. To prove to
your worship that I have no hope from the Countess of
Dysart (Lord liuntingtower's mother), I enclose you a
copy of a letter received from her some time since ; and as
the terms of that letter were such that I could never agree
to, I and my three helpless children have since been living
upon friends and credit, together with assistance front the
parochial authorities. At that time I was led on with
hopes that I might get the means to pursue my rights in a
legal way, but I have hitherto failed for want of funds. In
fact, we are now upon the verge of starvation. The credit
I am obtaining can last but a little longer, and unless
something unforeseen occurs, nothing but abject wretched-
ness will be the lot of myself and three infants. I have
the original letters with me should your worship think
proper to peruse them.
(Signed) " E. HUNTINOTOWIR."
Mr. Norton,having perused the above document, address-
ing the applicant, said Supposing you lived in Scotland,
that you were what they call domiciled in Scotland with
him, and then that you got any letter written to you ac-
knowledging you as his wife, that would be a marriage
according to the Scotch law ?
Applicant—l have several parties in Scotland that can
prove that Lord Huntingtower has acknowledged me as
his wife.
• Mr. Norton—How long did you live with Lord Hunting-
-1 tower in Scotland ?

Applicant—About six weeks.
Mr. Norton—Had he a below there ?
Applicant—yea, sir; he resided at Grecian Cottage, New-
haven. I have taken the letters to Mr. Knapp, a banister,
who has inspected them, and the conclusion he has come to
is that the marriage is a legal one. I have sub•red a good
deal of privation, and my children are literally naked. I
have never received a sixpence from my husband since
October, 1848, and then be Mused me very sadly and left
me in very expensive lodgings, in addition to which, a
friend of his thought proper to circulate very improper
rumours respecting ate.
Mr. Norton—lt it a very distressing case. I cannot
help thinking that the better way would be to lay the
whole of the letters before some members of his lordship's
family. My suggestion would be, that all the letters
