LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Brum Ma. Coentimionn rasa.
IN RR PRITCHARD AND DALR
At the left adjourn' sitting for the examination of th.
bankrupt Pritchard (of the firm of Pritchard lad Dale,
elsarebrAers, of Liverpool), the inquiry, it will be ream.
bend, was brought to a conclusion, but the Judgment of the
court wu reserved.

Ho Honour now gave his decision. He said the gaieties
before him was, whether Pritchard should pass hit last
exentinatioe. The account having been paused
Ia S,ptember lost, and the lest examination of Pritchard
subsequently revolt. d, became@ the separate accounts had not
bees filed ten days. There bad sista been a farther investi-
gation, and four objections were taken to the bankrupt's
amount+, one relating to the transactions with Maria Barlow,
his mother-in-law, another with regard to Brogdon's
affairs, a third r to the disposition of 85 South
Eastern railway shares, and the fourth es to the beck
rapes peramal expenditure. The first objection was
that the transactions with Maria Bestow were not properly
set out in the account., and it wee hinted by ear eel that
she was astother " Mrs. Honig." The bankrupt's mode of
stating these transactions if real owe, was not injurious to
the body of creditors, but only to Mrs. Barlow herself, who
was not shown to be a creditor at all; whereas, by the al-
tered arrangement of the actrounts, she was entitled
to prove against the estate for 3,9461. As agent
far his mother -in - law, he had absolute power
to deal with the accounts as he chose; and the
assignees, should they seek a remedy at law against Mrs.
Barlow, would net be bound by the bankrupt's male of
stating the account with her. Much objection had bees
takes to what was called the transit account," but this
appeared to be only • mode of simplifying the accounts.
He dli not thiek that any further elucidation was necessary
is the transactions with Mrs. Barlow. The next objec-
tion wes that a debt of 2,4901. to Mr. Brogdeu had been
emitted from the account; but this was not so;
The whole of the money was accounted for under different
beads. As to the 85 South Eastern shares, the bankrupt
had admitted his liability to account for them, and said he
believed they had been delivered, though he could not prove
it, and was content to he held responsible for the non-
delivery. On this ground, therefore, there eras no call for
farther adjournment. The last objection was as to his per-
sonal expenditure. It teemed he hod kept no accounts.
While in Liverpool his expenditure had been mo-
derato, though he bad launched into greater ex.
pease on coming to London, and assuming the vice-chair
of the South Eastern Company. But these objt ctions were
econspared with the magnitude of the cue. He was
unwilling to entertain them farther: first, because he
thought a good deal of personal feeling bad crept into the
case. Bankrupt had been solicited to join the South Eastern
Company as vice-chairman, and had at first refused. He
afterwards joined them ; he now said that his connection
with the company wee the cause of his failure, and shamed
a large sum (i,3561.) for expenses and service+, not
a farthing of which had been received up to March,
ISO. Mr. M'Oregor and he were oa terms of greet friend-
ship, and letters passed between them in terms of the ut-
most familiarity, referring to share transastiona which were
limbed by secrecy and Irregularity. He distrusted an op-
position arieng out of such circumstances. Another ground
why he was indisposed to further inquiry was, that all the
investigations which had teen mode resulted in clearing up
the charges; and it was quite possible that rigid inquiry
might degenerate into the grossest oppression. Thos two
°Msaunas, refarding the South Eastern shares and the per-
sonal expenditure, he hesitated not to say, were vexatious,
and below the importance of such a case. Upon the
whole, he considered the accounts satisfactory ; questions of
conduct must be dealt with at the certificate meeting.
This wu fixed for Saturday, the Bth of June.

MONEY MARKET.

TUBSDAT
The committee of Mexicali bondholders have, by
the America, received advice. from Vera Cruz, dated
18th ultimo, that 66,391 dole. 87 o. had been eh=
for the boadholders, by the royal. mail stuns
Medway. The sums du, but still pending in Vera
Cruz at that dais, fee aseount of the bondholders,
amounted to 180,110 dole. 34 e.
St. Petaledmirg advises of the 4th instant state that
little bus*m had been done owing in a great mea-
sure to the Raster holidays. The traneactimis in tal-
low were limited to about 1,100 casks, at 1104 R. on
the spot, at 110 for Jane, and at 107 far August de-
livery, sash, at which it was offered. In hemp little
had been dose; of hisjennoy a small yawl had been
taken at 92 B. cash. Of this particular description
abeat 180,000 poods may be =potted, whilst the
total !apply of hemp for shipmeat during the season
is estimated at about 2,000,000 ponds. Slight frosts
had impeded the opening of the navigation. The ex-
change on London was 28d. to 284 d.
Letters from Rio of the 7th mention the arrival of
the Ant barque from Poretsehji. The market for
guts was altogether esthete& The price of flax
bed gives way a little, but scarcely anything was
wing forastA ; a fsw sales had been ma& at 23r pro-
Ur. Marisebarger and other desmiptions at
portionate ratan Tow was quoted 12r. Hemp
(Hahne) had been taken at 91r. Otitsbot at 86r. In
oils eds there was nothiag doing. The Bay was still
partially covered withloating ice, but not sufficiently
so to obstruct the navigation, about 30 vessels having
arrived at Bolderaa. The beak well known to ma-
riners in the Duna had shifted its position, and had
greatly increased the difficulties of the navigation of
the river. The necessary instructions had been re-
ceived hem the government to effect its removal as far
u practicable.
From Havana the dates extend to the 22nd April.
They state that in consequence of the unfavorable
accounts by the last mails from Europe and America
the demand for sugar had met with a check, and the
rates were somewhat easier, ruling at 84 to lot fish
for whites ; Bto 71r. for yellow, and 61 to Sir. for
brown. Sugar grinding bad been interrepted by a
continuance of the rains, The quantity of coffee on
hand for sale was very small, and prices were nomi-
nal. Tonnage was abundant, and the rates of freight
had undergone a decline ; 475. Bd. had been paid for
American vessels for Cowes and a market; 66e. and
80s. for Trieste. Exchange was quoted 10 to 101 per
cent. premium.
