COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commit siesta. Omthorn.)
TN XE H. ootheuet.-11. BLONDIVE TIXASETEXIL.
The bankrupt, Healy Coleman, was demonised as a wine-
mu:hut, of 28, Itegent.street, and elsewhere. He bad
previotuily acted u a manager of M. Bloodiu's exhibitions,
and in that capacity had received the °soh.
the result being that M. Bloudio is a creditor
under the bankruptcy for 12,6006 This was the sitting for
examination and discharge. The accounts, p»pared by
Moore. Hart Brothers, show an aggregate liability of
40,0656, including a disputed debt of 16,0006 alarmed by
Signor Ifurillo, of Port St. Mary, Spain. The assets are
stated at 2,1006 in good debts &el Property i property held
u security, 10651. The deficiency of nearly 20,0001. is
composed in part of losses and expenses, 18,5001.
Mr. Begley said that the swipes in this ewe was a pa.
tlemen well known—M. Bloodui—who Irma cash aer
of the bankrupt for upwards of 12,0001. for money deposited
in his bands. The amounts had been carefully prepared by
Hems. Hart, and the assignece thought that on further
amounts; were necessary. It was therefore proposed that
the bankrupt should pass hie examination, but that the
order of discharge should be adjourned.
Mr. Sergood appeared for creditors, and stated that
opposition would be offered at the next sitting oa the
ground of conduct.
Mr. Brougb, on behalf of Mr. Shaw, a creditor, was de.
thous of an adjouromest. Within the short period of 13
mouths the bankrupt had contracted debts of 40,0001. The
amounts bad only been tiled 12 days, and the creditors who
melded abroad could net have had tiros to examine them.
The goods account embraced traessetioes to the amount of
67,0306 One of the largestcreditors, Mr. Murillo, claimed to
be a creditor for 16,0001., but his proof wee objected to.
His Honour held that it might be admitted u a claim.
Mr. Joseph Hut, in his report on the bankrupt's se-
emote, stilted that they were vouched by the books, with
the exception of about 2,0001. out of 67,000/.
Mr. & Reed, for the bankrupt, urged that he was
entitled to pass on accounts so well vouched.
His Honour thought that the creditors resident abroad
Were entitled to time to exudes the amounts. However
carefully they might have been prepared it would be injus-
tice to refuse the application for an adjournment.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

TIN MIITT MAIM.

The trial of Mr. Terry and Mr. Burch was reamed this
morning at 10 o'clock, before Mr. Justice Smith.
Serjesat Parry addressed the jury for Mr. Teary. Rs gig
that the defendants bed no rearm to complain of ea*
having preferred to go on with the case, as he wee qedg
sure that the abates which had been adduced on Hs
previous day had tended more than ever to istablid the
anomie° of the defendants. He wee sum it in as
feeling sealed the defendants that had lei the jay to
decide upon having the CON fully invsetipted, sea
he was quite sure, when the jury came perks* to
understand the Cu. in all ice bearings, they would fully
acquit the defendants. The charge sea/Lust the defewhate
was sot one of ealieesa is keeping the accounts, but that
they conspired toitt6her to derive and defraud the thaw
holders. It was often that culpable negligence might aid
without a shadow
gheeime ; but he would show that not
even of culpable neies had they been guilty ; bat be
impressed upon the jay to bear in mind that the defer
dents were charged with • cambial offence. The Ids.
dente, he said, were the servant@ of the dine.
tors, Terry being appointed as manager by the
directors ; and what be undertook to show was that the
balance-sheet of June, 1862, on which the whole of the ease
rested, was not the balance-sheet of the defendant., bat
wee made with the full knowledge of the directors. The
defendants bad no power to publish the balance-sheet ; it
wee submitted to the directors, who could sad should hare
every opportunity tic: elate every particle and item of
it, and it madam to the Indian, and finally
to the shareholders by the directors, and beyead all
doubt that balanesehest was the balanceeheit of
the directors and not of the defendants, who
he again urged had not the slightest power to
publish it. -That, he said, would be his defence whoa
he called the attendee of the jury to the state of the
beak at the time Mr. Terry assumed thenagement d
it. There had been 32,0001. add expended is pal:misery
expenses, which was a fearful item, and of which no one
knew anything. 24,0001. had been invested in aloes, ie. ;
and which now would not realise more than 9,0004 At
the time Mr. Terry took the managemeet of the teak.
38,0001. had been lost, and besides that 23,0001. had beer
lent to Mr. Alderman Medd, and them amounts left oily
32.000/ for the operations of the bank at the time Mr.
Terry was appoiuted. When Mr. Ayr*, having called de
attention of the other members to the difficulties the
bank were in, insisted on the removal of Mr. Chambers, the
bank ought to have been wound up, but he said it wee ad
convenient to Mr. Alderman if °chi to pay back the 23,0004,
and that was the reason the Main were not wound up. Ha
therefore asked the jury to consider wall the position of the
bank at the time Mr. Terry joined it, and what be had to de
and what be mai responsible for. The bank was anew cm,
and the cedars were in • very bad ooedition. The lAA
Liss under Mr. Terry's management, both at the Qty
and the West Brach, was 43,0004, and of that km
20,0001. was the loss of the West Breach by Br.
Sykes, the manager, whose name was on the
back of the bill; but who, for some motive
on the part of the prosecution, bad not been called. If
their statements were true, Mr. Sykes was a guilty a the
defendant, but probably he had not givens palmtop lathe
defendant bad, and there was no doubt the promoutioa was
instituted to compel the Guarantee Society to pay the
gu,rantee. The loss under Mr. Terry then was aridity only
23,0001. in Eve years, while that under Mr. Chambers, the
previous manger, was 39,0001., and yet having dose all be
could ln the interest of his employers, Mr. Terry was placed
before them cm • criminal charge. Whatever had boa doss
in reference to the keeping of the books, although he did
not mean to justify Mr. Terry in that, there coda
not be the slightest pretence for wag there
was as fraud, or that he ever beneetted
efarthag. It bad been said that Mr. Terry bad bad
dl:liege with Mr. Sterne, one of the customers, but Mr.
Sterne had paid the whole of hie debt with she exception
of • small min, the chief of which was interest, and it had
been admitted that he had offered Ha in the pound teethe
• remainder. The learned counsel then proceeded to comma*
upon the hots of the case, and contended that whatever
might have been done there was not the slighted Fee-
team for supposing there bad been the slighted
fraudulent intention, and that the parties who were rosily
responsible were the directors, and not the defendants.
Serjeant Bala:dine next addreesed the jay on behalf of
the defendant Burch, his line of deform being pretty meth
the same as that adopted on behalf of Mr. Terry.
