LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TILS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Bacon.)

The bankrupt, described as an auctioneer, of City-road,
and a coffee-house keeper, of Tooley-street, applied for
his release from custody.
Mr. Reed supportediLaiplication.
A gentleman who op took objection that bankrupt
was wrongly describe . In reality he had not been a
coffee-house keeper at all.
The Commissioner— What dose that matter now ? If
you can show no stronger ground than that, he is entitled
to his release.
Order accordingly.
IN 11.3 I)ANTIL FIIILLES.
This was another applicatien for release. The bank-
rupt was a general merchant, formerly of Old Broad-
street, and other places. His debts are 2,7611. ; alleged
cause of failure, losses in business.
Mr. Woollett opposed for the detaining creditor, Mr.
H. H. Rrornischroeder, a gas engineer. This was another
case of mis-deecription, but stronger than the former—
the bankrupt having traded as Jackson and Co,. and as
Buxton and Co., and had also represented himself as Mr.
Wm. Buxton. In the latter name he bed been introduced
to the detaining creditor, who had sold hire goods to the
amount of 4221. for shipment. The invoices were made
out to Buxton and Co., and the goods were delivered at
26, Artillery-place. The bankrupt signed for them as
Buxton.
Mr. Reed, who appeared for the bankrupt, asked for
the 'reduction of this receipt, but it was not forth-
.
oonungliis Honour said the business of the court must not be .
interrupted by solicitors neglecting their obvious duty
and not producing the necessary papers. In such cases
in future he should visit them with costs.
The detaining creditor was examined in proof of the
above facts. He added that a bill had been given for the
goods, which was dishonoured. (Bill not produced.) He
afterwards found that part of the goods had been pledged.
The Commissioner— ow did vou find that ?
Witness—They told me se. r got part of them back.
The bankrupt and Harris. who was also liable on the bill,
were sued, and they defended separately.
By Mr. Reed—Harris also traded as Buxton and Co.
The goods were sold for two-thirds cash, and the remainder
to be paid when the gods got out to the colonies. Had
known Harris as a friend for fourteen years, and had
made out other invoices to Harris and Christmas.
Mr. Beale, tailor, Bishopegate-street, deposed that he
had known the banlmmt under the names of Fiedler,
Fuller, Fisher, Bennett, and Buxton. He knew him as
Buxton in August, 1867. He had pledged goods in the
name of Bennett. He had dealt in amnion goods at one
time. and had perhaps 2001. worth in a room in Union-
court, at the time of the trial. Witness had lent him
some money on the deposit of some of the meters pur-
chased from the detaining creditor.
Mr. Lane opposed for another deteining creditor, Mr.
John Holt, of Leeds, on the ground that the bankrupt had
not obtained his discharge under a former adjudication,
The bankrupt, further examined by Mr. Reed, stated
that he was merely a servant in the house of Buxton and
Co, paid by a commission, Harris being the principal.
He knew of the purchase of the meters, but did not know
of their destination. Harris obtained money on them ;he
had since been bankrupt.' He (bankrupt) had some goods
in Union-court, but they were only there on .• appro."
Br Mr. Woollett—]lnd never represented himself.' to Mr.
Sroiaschroeder as Mr. Buxton, but distinctly said that his
name was Fieller. Had refused to accept a bill as W.l-
- Buxton and Co.
Mr. Reed submitted that there was no intentional fraud
in tieing the name of Buxton and Co. Some of the most
respectable merchants in the city were tradiug as firms
in names different from their own.
His Honour said the case must stand over till after the
choice of ass 'II there was somebody to look after
the estate. The bankrupt might renew his application im-
mediately after the choice.
PRELDILVART RLICItirrICIZS.
His Honour has laid down a rule that where the appli-
cations for release and other preliminary proceedings are
not disposed of by 12 o'clock, he will postpone the re-
mainder until after the regular liminess of the court is
disposed of.

oriental spectacular drama called Pinder Singh, in which
it is not difficult to recognise the French original of Tar

of the stage. several rows of elegant stalls have been

siderable taste and liberality. A new and improved chief
entrance Las been built, and the manager. Mr. M. U.

conducting a first-class local theatre in a way which ought

Mn. MARK LEMON'S " FALSTAFF."—Mr. Mark
Lemon gave a private 1. dress rehearsal" of his new
Shakesperian entertainment an Thursday night, at the
Gallery of•lllustration, before a large and distinguished
audience. He ha's selected all the most telling scenes
from limp Hoary ble Fulula, illustrating the character of
Sir John Falstaff, and assisted by a complete dramatic
company, be performs them in front of a fixed.
picture, the change of place being marked Eby
some such placards as were suspended on the
stage in Shakespeare's time. A dress rehearsal"
is probably the greatest torment to which an
actor can be subjected, and it rarely gives the au-
dience a clear idea,of the merits of a performance. Enough,
however, was seen on Thursday night to prote that Mr:
Mark Lemon tad not only completely mastered all the
phases of Shakespeare's most humourous creation. but is
imbued with that sympathy for Falstaff without, which
the task of dramatic realisation would be almost impos-
sible. The repreientations are in costume, and the first
will be given on Monday neat.
