LAW. ,INT,EI44GENCE.

(THIS -DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
0 15 WILLIAM 0001(1.—" THE CHERTNO-CHOBB warm"
This was an appliution for release from custody.
The bankrupt, known also as William Willoughby
Cooke, was a publisher and commission agent In adver-
tisneents,earrying on business at 19, Craven-street, Strand.
Be bad been arrested at the suit ofz= Munn% of
Btompton-crescent, and upon the ' visitation of
Whitecrossetreet prison he wuadjudicated bankrupt,
but the registrar declined to release film from custody.
Mr. Duey supported the application, which was op-
pees& in person by Captain Maunseil.
It appeared from Captain Maunsell's statement that he
had been induced to advance the bankrupt 6001. upon the
copyright of a publication called the Charing-cross Guide,
in the belief that the security was good, but he afterwards
discovered that the bankrupt was in difficulties, and
that he had also obtained a loan from a gentle-
man named Captain Pole on the same security.
Instead of spending the money for the purposes of pro-
moting the side of the Guide, the bankrupt absented him-
self from his office, and on being called upon for an expla-
nation of his conduct, be threatened to make himself
bankrupt. Under the circumstances, it was submitted
that the court would not entertain the application for
release
... . . .

Theankrupt in his defence, said that the advance be
obtained from Captain Pole was upon a totally different
security to Captain Mannaell's. He was thrown into diffi-
culties in consequence of Captain Maunsell not advancing
him a further WO/. which he had agreed to do.
The Commissioner said it appeared from the bankrupt's
examination—before the registrar—that this was not
the first time he had been in difficulties. The
debts were returned at 6,0001., and it was not likely the
creditors would ever receive any dividend. He should
decline to taken the bankrupt, except upon his finding
tall, himself in 2501., and two sureties of 150/. each, that
he would duly attend the sittings to be held under the
bankruptcy—forty-eight hours' notice of bail to be given.
Order accordingly.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

(Before Yr. Berjeant Dowling, Deputy Assistant Judge.

THE CASE OP COLLENE AND INGRAM.

In the above case, tried yesterday, it will be recollected
that one of the prisoners, upon hearing his @intends, fell
down into a At, and had to be conveyed to the cella.
Os being conveyed to the prison he was examined by Dr.
Smiles, and he found that he was villain* from an epileptic
fit, and there was every probability of its recurrence. As
the object of the prosecution was not so much to punish
the 'edividual as to prevent a communion of the offence
for a future time, Mr. harp:ant Dowling, with the full
wornness*, and on the recommendation of the jury,
ordered the prisoners to be brought up and enter into their
own yealgliiigllCOS to come up for judgment if they should
be called upon.
This having been done, they were discharged.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

GUILDHALL.
UTRAORDINAIIT CHARGE OF KTCALING A ROM AND CAD.
Edwund Liddell, a cab driver, residing at 82, Gray's-
inn-road, was placed at the bar before Alderman Abbiss,
charged with steeling a horse and cab, the property of Mr.
Turner, of York-road, Lambeth.
Richard Tomkins, • cab driver, of 24, Ring-street,
Hatton-garden, said he left the cab on the stand in New
Bridge-street, about half-past 11 o'clock at night, while be
went into a public-housein Bride-lane. He was there
about five minutes, and when he came out his horse and
cab were gone. He had known the prisoner for years. He
wu on the kerb when witness went into the public-house,
and he sulked him to take care of the cab while he was
there. The eab was brought home yesterday. In answer
to the prisoner he denied that he told him to take the
cab and earn as much as he could for both of them.

Francis Farquharson, an attendant on gentlemen's car.
riga, said—Yesterday, about 2 o'clock, he saw the pri-
soner lying with his head on the top of a Hansom cab,
dead drunk, and asleep. The horse was following another
eab that had just turned into Old Burlington-street. When
the first cab stopped theother did also. A man pulled the pri-
soner off the box, and put him inside, and then asked witness
to take it home. He took the cab to the proprietor, and
he gave the prisoner into custody for stealing the home
sad cab. . _ _

The prisoner, in defence, said he wu with Temkin the
whole of the day, and they were both drunk, but be was
the lead so. `When Temkin' went into the public-house
he inked him to take his cab and earn what he could for I
him and something for himself. That was a thing that
was commonly done among cabmen, and what was called
"starting a buck." (Laughter.) He bad done it himself,
often, but it was not allowed, and the man who was found
doing it would get into trouble, and therefore the witness
would not acknowledge it. He took a gentleman to
Windsor, and was to wait for him and bring him hack for
11., but when be put him down he managed to give him the
" alip;" and, in fact, "bilked" him. (Laughter.) Having
been out all night, and been drinking he fell asleep on the
cab coming up to town, but he never stole the horse and
mb.

Mr. Martin (chief clerk) said there was no pretence for
flying he stole. His conduct was not that of a thief.
Alderman Abbiss discharged the prisoner, and pointed
oat to him the inconvenience he had been subjected to by
getting drunk.
