IN Ys ISAAC

The bankrupt was • boot and shoe manufacturer, of
Bed-cross-street, and Lisle-street. This was the sitting
for examination and discharge, but the amounts had not
been Sled. The liabilities are large, upwards of 23,0001. ;
awe* consisting mincipelly of consignments to New
York and Melbourne, estimated, subject to realisation, at
15,000 i.
Phelps, who represented the assignees, mid he un-
derstood that the accounts were nearly ready for Sling,
but as it would be necessary for the assignees to have com-
munication with the consignees in New York and elae-
where, be would suggest that there should be an adjourn-
ment for three months.
Mr. Sydney, for the bankrupt, concurred ; and an ad-
journment was ordered.
IN >u W. 11131123.

The bankrupt was described as of the refreshment de-
partment, Somerset-house, and of Sutherland-street, Wal-
worth, licensed victualler. Debts, 2,632/. ; assets and
property held as security, 2861. This was the sitting for
examination and discharge The assignees did not oppose.
Mr. R. Griffiths, representing four or five meditors,
stated that the bankrupt had bought a quantity of
brandy in bond shortly before his failure. He had dis-
posed of this and other property, and the creditors wanted
to know what had become of the proceeds, as well as of
about 3601. which he had received. The won't' had
only recently been filed ; and as the bankrupt had been
bankrupt before, it was a case that ought to be lookedinto.
Mr. K. Reed, for the bankrupt, stated that he had
undertaken to supply the students and professors at
King's College and the clerks at Somerset-house with
luncheon, comprising soups, joints„&e., at is. 4d. per heed ;
and notwithstanding the great rise in the price of provi-
sions, he was still bound by the terms of his contract. He
got into difficulties, and had been compelled to give bills
of sale to Messrs. Bass and Co. and another creditor
under pressure. His books had been thoroughly well
kept, and from them the creditors could derive all the in-
formation they desired.
His Honour ordered en adjournment, and directed that
requisitions should be presented by the creditors to the

For the deintie It sate urged that the real offenders
were the two lads who had been the witnesses upon whose 1
evidence the prosespution principally rested.
The jury after some dilibemtion returned a verdict of
Guilty, and
The Recorder deferred pearling sentence.
James Sham Reid, 31, clerk, • man of pntlemanly ap- '
pearance and bearing, was indicted for embezzling divers
MM., the moneys of Messrs. Allen. East India merchants,
of Learisnhall-street. The charges were embodied in three
indictments, to all of which the prisoner had pleaded not
guilty. When now placed at the bar to take his trial,
Mr. Montagu Williams intimated to the court that he
had been retained to defend the prisoner, who, however,
was now desirous to retract his former plea, and to plead
guilty to all the indictments.
The plea of Guilty having been duly recorded,
Mr. M. Williams urged in mitigation of sentence the fact
1 that the prisoner had a young wife and three children, the
youngest laving been born since he had been in custody
on this charge. The learned counsel handed up to the
court a large number of testimonial to the prisoner's cha-
racter, which had been supplied by gentlemen of the
highest position, including many magistrates and clergy-
men, and he belies ed the prosecutors would recommend
the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the
Mr. Bagley who appeared on the pert of ispremoni-
tion, said it had been iostituted under a feeling that it
was alike due to the firm be represented and to the public),
but for the sake of his wife and family they joined in
recommending the prisoner to mercy. He had been in their
service for about two years at a Wary of 2001. per annum,
and the sum of his defalcations amounted to between
9001. and 1,000/.,and it was for the sake of his family, and
that alone, that the prosecutors were induced to recom-
mend him to mercy.
The Recorder inquired when the system of spoliation

Dir.Mey said about 18 months ago, within four months
after his entering the service.
The Recorder said it pained him that in duty to the publio
he could not act upon the recommendation. This was the
worst owe of this class that had ever been brought before
him. The prisoner was in a good position, and in the enjoy-
ment of • handsome and liberal salary, and yet almost
directly after he had got into the service he commenced to
plunder his employers, and had continued the system up to
the time he wee apprehended. The sentence upon him
was that he be kept in penal servitude for the term of five
pars.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Herr.)
William Shommith, 27, pleaded patty to • charge of =-
lawfully &moulting Mary Anne Montagu, with intent to
commit a more serious offence.
Mr. Justice Mellor said the prisoner bad been guilty of
most abominable conduct. He bad assaulted • respect-
able married woman while on her way home, and there
was no doubt what he intended to have done if her screams
had not brought assistance to her. If he had succeeded in
his winked purpose, he would undoubtedly have had to
undergo a long period of penal servitude ; and for the
offence to which he bad pleaded guilty be should order him
to be impriaoned arid kept to had labour for eighteen
months.

ratted to escape punishment for assaults so serious as
hat been proved in this instance. A powerfully-framed
man like the prisoner was likely to erase great injuries by
his blows. He must go for one calendar month's impri-
sonment for the mouth on the foveman, cos month for the
sawault on the constable, and sera days for the damage—
each term being consecutive.
Prisoner laughed, and as he left the dock said, " Thank
you."

LAMBETH.
Mary Matthews, a tall powerful woman, we, charged
before Mr. Elliott with stealing a hall-mat of the value of
15a., the property of Mr. Hobson, • gentleman residing in
Caledonian-read, 'ruble-hill, Brixton.
Police-constable 113 Vir said that on the evening before,
between tin and six o'clock, he met the prisoner at the
bottom of Tulse.hill, and observing something bulky under
her clothe' he stopped her, and salted what it was she had,
and she replied, nothing particular. He bad her searched,
and a hall mat, exesedingly heavy, was found hanging from
• hoop round her waist, so that she could walk with bee
bands at liberty, and if the mat had been lam bulky no
notice, would have been taken of her.

~~Elisabeth Kent, servant to iir.
Hobson, identified the
mat as her master's p , and said it had been safe
in the hall a short time ore the primmer had been
apprehended.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that want com-
pelled her to commit the offence, and hoped his worship
would forgive her.
The officer in the case, however, applied for a remand,
saying that a number of similar robberies had been recently
committed in the neighbourhood, and it was his belief
that the prisoner was an old offender.
Mr. 114liott, however, at once disposed of the ease by
sommiting the primmer to two months' hard labour.
