THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.
Lyon Oaldestith, a tiger desk, end general merchant of
Ftnstrury•pareineett, and St. Sleights's-lane, woe brought up
for Anal examination an the charge of obtaining gouda on
credit within three months of hie bankruptcy, under the
fame colour and pretence of carrying on business in the ordi-
nary course of trade, with intent to cheat and defraud his
crecitces. Alderman Salomon@ presided.
Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Kr. Treherne, from the office of
Kr. Reed, of Gulldhall-chambers, conducted the proem/lion.
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-pleas, defended the bankrupt ; and Mr.
Misdealt from Mews- . Vomiting's Milos, watched the case
for MITTIId other medicare, _

-The cane was sdj corned
en the teat occasion in order that
Mr. Lewis might have an opportunity of croes.examining
Mr. Peter Brown, the peneeoutor, which he intimated
would mammy the court some three or four hours.
Alderman Salm:ions now said Mr. Lewis moat limit his
crop-examination to the additional evidence given since Mr.
Brown was crose-exanainad by the prisoner's counsel at the
first hearing.
Mr. Weigh said he was willing to save the time of the
court by consenting that the cues already in evidence should
gi for trial, and be would undertake to give ample notate to
Mr. Leiria of any other charges which might hereafter be
preferred against the bankrupt.
Mr. Lewis said he would rather have every charge taveeti-
gated before the magistrate in order that the whole of the
evidence might be upon the depositions, so that the prisoner
might know exactly what he bad to answer, In the event of
the use going for trial ; at the same time, he was in hopes
that he should convince the magistrate that there really was
not the slightest ground for the present charge.
Mr. Peter Brown was then stalled, and croesexamined at
considerable length, with the view to shut that he was
cognisant of the bankrupt's falling 11111•1114 sad that he at the
same time gave him references to other houses to faoilitate the
bankrupt's endeavours to reduce his account with him (the
prosecutor). Mr. Brown indignantly repudiated the imputa-
tion, and stated that on hearing that the goods be sold to the
bankrupt ware being sold in Manchester under price, he in-
formed him of the fact. and that the bankrupt denied ttp
possibility of curb a thing, and alleged ha had sold the gods
in Holland for the full value, and showed him his books in
corroboration of his statement, which took him (Mr. Brown)
completely off his guard. He gave the rehmences according
to the prisoner's account, as it stood in their books, a copy of
which account was furnished to every person referred to. Be
(Mr. Brown) refused the prisoner farther credit became he
had exceeded the limit agreed upon by I,OOW.
Mr. Sleigh ultimately stated that tie would take the atter-
man'a do idon upon the three tie-es in evidence and proceed
wick the other charges, or reserve them, scot:Ming to the
result.

Mr. Lewis made& very Ingenious statement for the defence,
In which he contended that as tha goods alleged to have
been fraudulently obtahmil, although delivered within three
months of the adjudication of bankruptcy, were ordered long
prior, which would take the cue out of the statute.
Alclermem said the obteinlug of the goods must
date from the time the bankrupt beams pomereed of them.
Mr. Lewis for her oontended that the good, were ordered
early In March, and through the prosecutor's delay they were
not delivered till the end of April, whereby the bankrupt
loon the sole of them, and was obliged to dingoes of them at a
sacrifice, so that the alleged unlawthl disposal of those
goods was the emelt of the prosecutor'. own negligence.
Mr. Sleigh said it was unfair of ILL Lewis to cut ouch
aspersions on Mr. Brown, who was • most honourable and
re-peciable tradesman.
Aldermen Ealoceote sold he had given the greatest patience
and attention to the cue, and the prisoner cod& not cow-
plain either that be bed not had • tele bearing or been ably
defended ; at the sale time he was boned to tray that he con-
"dieted Mr. Brown had ben very hardly dealt with through-
out the whole of the tranoaction. Me (We. Brown) had then
deceived himeolf at the time he gave the returnee*, and be
(the worthy alderman) therefore thought uolatgemper notice.'
ought to he imputed to hit'. With regard to the charge
against the bankrupt, he was of opinion that the evidence
disclosed such en moat of illicit trading within three
months of hi. bankruptcy as to justify him in sending the
case elsewhere, and be would accept bail for the bankrupt in
two sureties of 6001. each, with 48 hones' notice of tail.
The bankrupt was then committed for trial.
