COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Ocr. 9.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RR TiII Rif. CHABLIS MARTON WILSON.

The bankrupt was the rector of High Boding, Essex.
The adjudication took place on the 10th December last, and
sines that time the caw has been frequently before the
court. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and
discharge. The debts are 64=1., of which 4,500/. is due
to the Misses Herbert, secured by a sequestration of the
bankruflifili living. The assets are returned at 7001.
Mr. ley, for the assignees, stated that the bankrupt
had not ed the accounts required by the court of his
transactions with his uncle, a solicitor. Negotiations bad
been entered into by the assignees with the secured
creditors, the Misses Herbert, and a favourable result was
anticipated as regarded the unsecured creditors.
Mr. R. Reed, for the bankrupt, urged the impossibility of
his complying with the order of the court ma regarded the
amounts desired by the assignees. The value of his rec-
tory was about 7501. per annum, and the living had been
sequestrated by the Misses Herbert. The bankrupt's
uncle, Mr. Wacle, bad absconded, he was also bankrupt,
taking with him all his document' ; and the bankrupt was
wholly without the means of rendering the accounts asked
for. He was now in reoeipt of 75/. a year only out of his
living. The assignees had contemplated setting aside the
sequestration ; but the arrangement with the secured
creditors rendered that unnecessary ; and on the same
ground the accounts asked for were unnecessary.
His Honour said be could not rescind the order which
Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd had made for additional

amounts, the more so u th; usignees still asked for those
amounts. An adjournment for at weeks was ordered.

uc HE EEOOEE.

The bankrupt, • picture-frame maker, of New-street,
Covent-garden, applied for his discharge from debts
of 971.

Mr. Aldridge appeared for the official assignee.
A creditor, named Matilda Francis Lovelace, opposed in
person. She had lent the bankrupt 201. on his promising
her marriage, and afterwards 201. to purchase furniture.
Mr. Aldridge—Did he refuse to marry you
Miss Lovelace--He is married already. (A laugh.) When
I lent him the money I believed him to be unmarried. I
afterwards brought an action to recover the money, and he
ddended
The bankrupt said he had defended the action because
he never had the money. The girl knew that ha was a
married man. He had been six weeks in prison.
An adjournment was ordered, his Honour observing
that it was not a very serious case, and that the bankrupt
had better he advised.

(Before Mr. Registrar Murray.)
IS RS SLUGS HOPI JOHNSTON&

The bankrupt in this case was Robert Gordon Hops
Johnstone, commceily called Major Hope Johnstone, late
of St. James's-street, and Hint street, St. James'e, of no pro-
fession or occupation, but formerly a lieutenant in the
Indian army, now a prisoner for debt in York Castle. The
bankrupt ascribe, his failure to heavy losses on the turf, and
the refusal of his father to raise any further sums on his
behalf. The preliminary statement shows unsecured debts
of 12,0001., of which 7,0001. is due to Mr. Skinner, gentle-
man, 50, Jermyn-street ; 5001. to Mr. Pedwick, Hill-
street, Berkeley-square ; and 5001. to Mr. Parr, Benham',
Wattage. Mr. J. J. Hope Johnstone, of Annandale,
Lockerbie, N. 8., is returned as a creditor for 13,0001. or
15,0001., secured on the bankrupt's reversion of the Annan-
dale estate.
This was the first sitting, but the choice of assignees
was adjourned.

The twenty five competitors were weighed out, and
cantered to the post at the appointed time for the start
(2.25), and Mr. M'Cleorge suoceeded in despatching them
at the first attempt to en excellent start, Caithness after
fifty yards of the journey had been traversed going to
thefront for the purpose of forcing the pace. He was attended
by Medina. The two, running together, were clear of Lotha-
no, Chepstow. Regalia, Endsleigh, Dubiety, and Jollity.
A few strides behind the lot enumerated were Aetna, Pro-
serpine, Dulcimer, and Rama, who headed the remainder,
running in • cluster with the exception of Shave Came
and Philosopher, who acted as " whippers in."
Coming through the ditch pp Regalia drew rp
to the leading division. When fairly through
the gap Caithness and Medina gave way, and Regalia was
left with a slight lead of Endaleigh, Dulcimer.
Lecturer, Lothario, Aetna, Jollity and Cliern:ar.
,
This lot ran in close order in front of
Proserpina, Caithness, and Helen. The remainder were
somewhat scattered. About a mile from home Endaleigh
and Lothario simultaneously headed the " top weight"
At this point the front division comprised the above enu-
merated, who dined as they approached the Bushes hill,
and it could scarcely be seen which was leading. Chepstow
for a few strides looked rather formidable, but hanging
from distress he soon gave way. Regalia ran with extra-
ordinary gameness, but at the descent she gave way under
her heavy impost, notwiths t
tanding her grand effort to keep
in the front. The next lo to disappear from the front
were Dulcimer, Jollity, and Endaleigh, the letter of whom
San with exceeding gameness up to the Bushes hill. The
ram was now left to Lothario, Proserpine, Lecturer, and
Aetna, and so well was Baron Rothschild's hone going
that loud shouts were raised, " Lothario wins," and at
that time he held a perceptible lead, but in the dip, Lec-
turer, who had been lying almost unobserved on the whip
hand al the Baron's horse, rushed to the front, and
Hibbard, with great skill and judgment, succeeded in land-
ing this game son of Colstardale a winner by half • length
from Lothario, whe defeated Proserpine • neck only for
second place. Half • length behind Proserpina was Aetna
fourth. While a couple of lengths off was Dulcimer, fifth.
Hndalmgh was sixth, Seandcin seventh, and Helen eighth.
I*:was at the head of another lot, which comprised
Caithness, and Chepstow, who were pulling up.

THE EXPRESS; WEDNESDAY .EVENING; OCTOBER' 10, 1866;

*GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.

After our report left yesterday,
Mr. HARLEY asked if they raised 1,084,000/., would that
cover ell the debts against revenue?
The CHAIRMAN said they might take it in round num-
ben that it would take another million.
Mr. HARLEY said the total liabilities of the company,
when they had raised this debenture stock and paid off
the temporary loan, would not amount to more than
900,0001 a a year; and as the receipts were 1,800,0001. a
year, they were not in so bad a position after all.
A fisaissonose observed that the chairman had not
pointed out to them the resources in the new revenue
towards haying the new stock.
Mr. WRIGHT eXreemed his went of confidence in the
board. Some of the directors were directors in 20 or 25
companies, but a company like this required all the 'Atm-
tion of the directors. In the Great Northern the directors
were all men of large property. They were not guinea-
pigs. He could mention gentlemen who got 1,0001. or
2,0001.
• year each by being directors of different corn-
Mr. Lamm complained of Mr. Bevis's display of temper.
He op the resolution, and said he was afraid, if they
it they would practically render valueless the
,000,0001. of ordinary stock. This new stook would bring
a burden on them of 525,8501. • year, or 10,0001. a week,
and where ware they to get 10,000/. • week to meet the
charge ? It would be better to stop the new lines, even
if they did lose • million or two.
Mr. HOTTA said if the contractors paid the interest
during construction, they would put it on the work, and
the result would be that the whole of the ordinary stock
would be nearly annihilated, and he would not give 101.
per 1001. for it. He moved as en amendment, " That the
consideration of the proposition of the chairman be post.
poned for the present, and that the directors be requested
to take into consideration the necessity of postponing the
new lines."
Mr. WRIGHT seconded the motion.
Mr. HODGSON suggested that, instead of imuW new
Moak in the manner proposed, they should issue ordinary
stock at • discount.
The Csancialc said that course would be very detri-
mental to the holders of ordinary stock.
Mr. Sams, one of the directors, said he made a propo-
sition three years ago, which if it had been carried would
have prevented their being in the present difficulty, and
that was to make no more extensions. As to raising the
capital, they must bear in mind that it bad been all voted
before, with this exception, that when those votes were
taken the law only allowed them to issue a 5 per cent
preferential stook, and they could not place it ; and seeing
the unfortunate crisis in monetary affairs that the com-
pany had got into, it was absolutely necessary that the
capital they required should be raised. The contracts
ware entered into before the new board had anything to do
with them. Notices had been given for half a i.on of
property, and if they were to postpone this matter till
next August they would have 500 Chancery suits against
them. They were committed to the contracts for the
metropolitan extensions, and must find the money. They
bad got the best men of the day—Mr. Morrell and Mr.
Forbes—to go over the matter with them, and they told
them that these extensions would yield five per cent, and
leave a margin of 50,0001. for the parent line. He for one
was quite prepared to take his quota of the new stook.
Mr. ADAMS, amid great manifestations of impatience,
defended Mr. Bevis, and contended that the meeting should
be adjourned.
A finaassonosn inquired whether the board had been
able to renew the debentures falling due.
The CHAIRMAN said it fortunately happened that during
this crisis there were very few debentures falling
due, but at the same time a certain noble lard who was
supposed to know a great deal about railways had stated
that the Great Eastern was insolvent, and that expression
had done them a great deal of harm from the mistrust it
had caused in the City. They had difficulties of a her-
culean nature to surmount. If stopping the metropolitan
extensions would benefit the company, it would be the
duty ot the directors to stop them, but they bad gone into
the whole matter, and were of opinion that it would be
better to make the lines. In his opinion there was no-
thing for it but to go on. At the last meeting he stated
that two half-yearly meetings must be held before the or-
dinary stock came into dividend again. He was afraid
now that another year must elapse. If they did not go on
with the metropolitan extensions, what would be the
result They would have a receiver appointed over their
line. If they were to live at all, they must live by adopt-
ing the policy that was recommended by him that morning.
Mr. HOY'S said be was in the hands of the meeting, and
was willing to withdraw his amendment—(cries of " With-
draw ")—but he thought they ware ruined as much as the
London, Chatham, and Dover was, as far as regarded their
original stock. (No, no.) He was afraid they would never
get the debenture stock placed.
Mr. WRIGHT said, as the seconder he would consent to
the withdrawal ot the amendment.

The amendment was then withdrawn and the original
resolution put and carried with half-a-down dissentients.
Os the motion of Mr. Horst, a vote of thanks was then
given to the chairman, end the proceedings, which had oc-
cupied about two hours, terminated.

BOILER EXPLOSION, AND Loa OP Fisi Lzvzs IN
LIVIRPOOL.—LIVERPOOL, TuE3nAT.—One of the most dis-
tressing and dreadful catastrophes that has occurred here
for several years took place this afternoon on board the
ship City of Liverpool, Captain Whiteford, loading for
New York, and at present lying in the Bramley Moore Dock
at the north end of the town. The City of Liverpool, which
is a fine ship of about 1,419 tons burden, had recently ar-
rived at Liverpool from New York, and was again loading
outward for that port when the explosion took place. As
far as could be learned this evening it appears that a
donkey engine and boiler had been placed on the deck of
the ship for the purpose of facilitating the loading of the
vessel with her cargo • and all would appear to have gone
well until about three o'clock this afternoon, when a
tremendous explosion shook the ship from stem to
stern. For some time, in consequence of the smoke
and steam and falling debris, it was utterly unable
to ascertain the extent of the damage. When the smoke,
11:c., had cleared away, a most fearful and sickening sight
presented itself. The boiler of the engine and the engine
itself were torn to fragments, and lying about the open
spate were the engine stood were the dead and the muti-
lated bodies of five working men, who were close to the
engine when the catastrophe took place. In addition to
those killed there are several others more or less severely
injured, and it is feared that the wounds of some of the
poor fellows, who were taken to the Northern Hospital,
are of such a nature as to preclude all hopes of recovery.
The names of the dead and wounded could not be utter-
tained up to the despatch of our parcel ; but no doubt at
the inquest to be held to-morrow (Wednesday) all particu-
lars as to the names of the dead and injured, and the cause
of the explosion, will be made known. The City of Liver-
pool is owned in Liverpool by Messrs. Boult, English, and
Brandon, the well-known shipowners.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN DEER-STALKINO.—A very
melancholy, and at the same time very extraordinary, ac-
cident occurred on Friday to George Urquhart, the head
forester of Mar Forest. He and his master, Mr. Powell,
stalked some stags on the Glen Eusechan side of Cairn-
touL Mr. Powell wounded a large stag, and giving his
spare rifle to his forester, desired him to follow the
wounded deer, and, if possible, to get up to him and shoot
him. Urquhart, along with Grant, one of the watchers,
went after the stag, fired two shots and wounded him a
s.cond time. The stag went slowly down the side of •
steep ravine, along the bottom of which a burn
flowed. Urquhart reloaded, ran after the deer, and got
close to him. Seeing that the ravine was so steep,
and that it would be extremely difficult to get the stag
out of it when killed, he determined to try and move him
down the burn to more level ground. In an unlucky mo-
ment he pushed the stag with the butt of the rifle ; the
deer gave a kick with one of his bind legs. An imme-
diate explosion followed, and, without falling, Urquhart
said calmly to his companion, " I am shot," and walked
across the burn, and fell into Grant's arms, who laid him
gently on the bank of the burn, and ran off in search of
Mr. Powell. When Mr. Powell came to the spot he found
his poor forester mortally wounded, and the stag, the cause
of all the mischief, lying dead in the waters close to him.
Mr. Powell sent Grant off instantly for assistance,
but the nearest house (Oeldie Lodge) was eight miles dis-
tant. For the first hour Urquhart was perfectly collected,
and explained to his muter how the accident occurred. He
then gradually sunk and died in about two hours and a
half after receiving the wound. A body of foresters
reached the fatal spot about 7 p.m. It was then quite
dark. They carried the body some miles ; but getting in-
volved in mire, and losing their way, they had to defer
bringing it to the foresters house until Saturday morning.
On examining the rifle, the cause of the accident was
soon ascertained. The dog-head of the right hand
lock had been secured by the usual bolt common to
all sporting rifles, and when struck by the stag's
hoof the dog-head was broken off, and was found
lying on the ground. Unhappily, Urquhart had neglected
to bolt the left-band lock, and when hit by the stag's foot,
the force of the blow broke the tumbler. The mainspring
then meted on the doghead, brought it with farce on the
copper cap, and the bullet passed through his body—so
that the wounded stag actually caused the rifle to be fired
which killed poor George Urquhart. This sad event has
cast a gloom over the neighbourhood of both old and new
Mar Lodge, as deceased was a man in the prime of life, an
admirable deerstalker, and universally liked. Previous to
getting the appointment of head forester at Mar Forest,
Urquhart had served Colonel Inge, Captain Horatio Roes,
and Colonel Baker, all of whom had the highest opinion of
him.—Scotsman.
