LAW INTELLIGENC&-(TIUS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Bacon.)
1,1 RE ALIMFD HOOF.
The bankrupt. described as late of the United Wotel,
Charlos-street. Denteley-square, of no occupation. applied
for an order of release from prison. Debts, 4004 ; no
assets. There was also a previous bankruptcy undisposed
of under which the liabilities were 3,9631., and the bank-
rupt surrendered no estate. Of that amount it appeared
that 429/. was due to tailors, 6001. for horses, 6401. for
boxes at theatres, and 1,6001. to stockbrokers.
Mr. Sykes attended, pursuant to notice, on behalf of the
official assignee; Mr. Trehenie, Mr. liaise, and Messrs.
Dod and Longstaffe opposed the application on behalf of
detaining creditors.
Mr. Reed, who supported the bankrupt (instructed by
Mr. Biddle.), explained the position of the case, and that
there was a previous bankruptcy not yet completed.
The bankrupt had, however, obtained a:ioc:tepraiiment
with a view to the completion of those p and
filed the accounts required. His difficulties were 'but.
able to the fact of his guardian, the late Sir William Mug.
geridge, having, by reason of Ina own embarrassed circum-
stances, failed to pay over • sum of 23,0001., to which the
bankrupt was entitled. The bankrupt had been five months
in prison, and as he had evinced a desire to conform to the
orders of the court the learned counsel contended that the
release ought now to be granted.
A technical objection with regard to notice having

Mr. Treherne, on behalf of a judgment creditor for 70/.,
urged that the bankrupt ought not to be discharged from
custody unless he could establish to the satisfaction of the
court that his release was calculated to benefit the credi-
tors. It was obvious that no such benefit could accrue in
this case, as the bankrupt, instead of first disposing of one
bankruptcy. had contracted fresh debts, and been adjudi-
cated a second time.

Mr. liaisealso urged that it was contrary to the
practice of the court to allow any step to be taken under
a second bankruptcy unless the proceedings under the first
wens completed.
Mr. Reed having been heard in reply,
Mr. Commissioner Bacon said he did not think that the
objection to the release was a valid one. He found
nothing in the act of parliament to justify the assertion
that a bankrupt should not be released unless he could
satisfy the court that his release would be for the benefit
of his creditors. On the contrary, as he understood the
law, it seemed to him that when a man was in prison and
reedy to conform to the law of bankruptcy he ought not
to be detained unless it could be shown that his release
would be prejudicial to his creditors. It had been argued
that the onus was upon the bankrupt to show that his re-
lease would benefit the creditors, but he (the commis-
sioner) did not so understand the law, and in the absence
of any substantial objection to the application the release
would be ordered.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Common Serjeant.)
EXTRAORDINARY CELROR OP FORORRY.

Zebashi, a Polish Jew, who was. described a; a Russian
spy. was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury, alleged
to have been committed before Mr. Benson, one of the me-
tropolitan police magistrates. upon a charge against a per_
son named Oscar Rewman, and two other prisoners, of
hating feloniously in their possession a quantity of forged
ituraian rouble notes.

Serjeant Parry and Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prose-
cution; Serjeant Ballantine, Serjeant Sleigh, and Mr.
Warner Sleigh appeared for the defence, instructed by the
solicitors for the Russian government.
It will be recollected that at a recent session of this
court two Tenons, named Frankel and Harris, pleaded
guilty to a charge of having feloniously in their possession
a quantity of Russian rouble notes, and another person.
named Oscar Rewman, was included in the indictment, but
no evidence was offered against him, and he was dis-
charged and he then preferred the present charge against
the defendant of having committed wilful perjury in the
evidence he gave against him at the police-court.
The facts of the case will be fresh in the
remembrance of the public. The prisoner appeared
to have been originally concerned in endeavouring to dis-
cover the persons who were concerned in fabricating
forged Russian rouble notes in this country, and there
did not seem to be any doubt that be came to this country
in May, 1867, for the purpose of endeavouring to discover
whether any persons were engaged in the fabrication of
forged Rusinan notes in England, and he put himself in
communication with Inspector Thompson. at Scot-
land-yard. and eventually the present prosecutor
and several other persons were committed for
trial upon the charge of having forged Russian
notes in their possession. The prisoner appeared to have
sworn that Rewman on several occasions bad shown him
forged Russian rouble notes and had represented that he
had 4U,000/. worth of them in his possession. There
were several allegations of perjury, but the moat material
one was that the prisoner represented that Rewman, the
prosecutor, bad sent him a number of forged Russian
rouble notes in an envelope, which he produced. The
case on the part of the prosecution was that the whole of
these statements were false and that the address on the
envelope was merely written he the prosecutor, at the
request of the prisoner, to show his address and where he
might be found, and that the prosecutor was entirely
innocent of the charge preferred against him. The pro-
secutor was examined at considerable length, and he de-
clared that there was no foundation fur the statements
made by the prisoner, and that he had never in any way
been concerned in the making of forged Russian notes.
In cross-examination, however, he admitted that he had
been acquainted with several persons who had been con-
victed of having forged Russian notes in their possession.
and one of whom was sentenced to 20 years' penal ser-
vitude. . . _

At the close of the examination of the prosecutor the
court adjourned.

SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

((Before Mr. E. R. Adams.)

FRAUD UPON A TRADY.KYA.Y.

Viz* bog it, 30, the wife of an auctioneer, and Homy
liedland, 25, were indicted for unlawfully conspiring
together to cheat and defraud William Warne of divers
articles of furniture, &c. They were also indicted for un-
lawfully obtaining a time-piece and other articles, the pro-
perty of William ~Paine, with intent to cheat and defraud,
at N ewington.
Mr. Lilley prosecuted ' • Mr. Oppenheim defended Mrs.
Davis, and Kr. Straight defend the male prisoner.
James listens Hutton, salesman to the prosecutor, an
extensive furniture dealer, Newington-butts, mid that in
the early part of last month the female prisoner called at
their warehouse, and said that she required furniture fur
a house she bad just taken, at 4, Caroline-cottages, St.
Anne's-road, Brixton. She said she was a married woman,
and her husband an auctioneer in Basinghall-street. She
selected goods worth HAL, to be paid for on delivery.
They were sent in, and then she told witness to go to her
husband and he would give hima cheque for the amount. He
went there and found that they were separated, and the pri-
soner had executed a deed in which herhusband allowed her
1001. a year. On his return to Caroline-cottage he found
the house shut up, but he made an entrance and removed
the goods to the warehouse. An ormolu clock and other
articles, worth 181., were missed, and it was ascertained
that the prisoners pledged them soon after they got them
into their possession. Some of the goods were ordered by
the male prisoner, who had for some time lived with the
female prisoner.
Mr. Straight contended that this indictment tor con-
iipiracy could not be entertained as there was no proof that
Medland had anything to do with obtaining the goods.
The court agreed with him, and lledland was Acquitted.
The female was then tried on two other indictments
,
when several pawnbrokers produced the articles pledged
by her. It was again proved that she was separated from
her husband by a deed allowing her an allowance of 10/4/.

embezzlement. In the puss was aU. note, which bad
been traced, and which it was found had been paid into
a building society. From inquiries that the prosecutor
had made, be stated that he was afraid that this was not
the first offence of which the prisoner had been guilty.
Mr. Ricketts, for the defence, said the prisoner
under his advice would pbad Notwithstand-
ing what had been said about him, he was
instructed that this was the first offence of which
he had been guilty, and into consideration the
position of the hither, who is a c of the Church
of England, and the good character the prisoner had
hitherto borne, he hoped the magistrate would temper
justice with mercy.
The magistrate said that this was a very bad case, and
one he had intended to send for trial. As the prisoner
had taken the advice of his solicitor and pleaded guilty he
would deal with it, and sentenced the prisoner to six
months' imprisonment with hard labour in the House of
Correction.

lift up the gentleman's coat tails and drop them. He
followed the prisoner and the others into Fitzroy-square,
where Allen went up to another elderly gentleman and
spoke to him, upon which Press walked up and asked the
gentleman what he was doing with his wife. The gentle-
man said he was doing nothing to the woman and walked

nothing, ' and the whole of them went to the enclosure
and stood under a tree in • dark part of the square, an d

PORTSMOUTH. TUESDAY.

Lord Napier of Magdala arrived at Portanwith
at 10 o'clock this morning. He wee received by the mayor
(Mr. Davies) and the mover and seconder of the address
voted by the corporation. He proceeded in the mayor'.
carriage to the volunteer head-quarters, at Governor's.
green. where, in presence of a large number of inhabitants,
the address was presented.
Lord Napier replied, briefly acknowledging the services
of the army and navy.
The visit created great excitement, and the reception
was most enthusiastic. A grand banquet will be given by
the mayor this evening.

The Rev. A. W. Thorold, late rector of St.
Gilea, has been appointed to Curzon chapel, Mayfair.

According to the last advices from Brazil much
excitement has been created at Rio by an order from Vis-
count Itaborahy, the l'rime Minister, to stop all despatches
in the Custom-house until further notice. The reason of
this measure (says the Times) is that information has been
given to the government, it is supposed from Manchester,
that certain exporting houses were in the habit of defraud-
ing the customs by packing their goods falsely, the method
adopted being the old one of packing valuable articles
in the centre of a bale, and outwardly enveloped in mer-
chandise of au ordinary character, and liable to low
duties. libtuld the offence be established against the
parties implicated, it may be expected to be dealt with
severely, Viscount Itaborahy having the reputation of
being stern and sensitive on all questions of honour.

The American ambassador, who spent Sunday at
Knowsley-park, the seat of the Earl of Derby, went to
Liverpool yesterday evening and dined with Mr. E.
Wbitley, the mayor, at the Town-hall. A large party,
comprising the principal residents of the town, was in-
vited to meet his exmllency. Last night Mr. Johnson was
the guest of Mr. A. H. Brown, at Richmond-hill, near
Liverpool, and this morning he intends leaving Liverpool
on his return to London.
THE HEALTH OF LORD DERBY.—It will afford
general pleasure to our readers to learn that a favourable
change has taken place in the state of Lord Derby's health.
Hia lordship hat for some days been suffering from a very
severe attack of gout, and the acute pain which invariably
arises from attacks of this malady has somewhat subsided.
The noble earl, however, is still confined to his room. We
understand that in co uence of this attack of illness the
visit of the Prince and Princes of Wales to Knowsley,
which was to have taken place next week, has been in-
definitely postponed.—Lirerpool Mercary.
EXPLOSION OF A NArirrux LAMP.—Last evening
Mr. Richards! deputy coroner, held an ' inquest at the
London Hospital touching the death of Jane Evans, aged
four years. Jane Evans, the mother of the deceased, said
that her husband kept Ili shop at 1, Bonner-street, Hackney-
road. On Friday, at 6 o'clock, a man named Robert
Mathews entered the shop with • naphtha lamp in his hand.
There was a fire in the shop, and round it were seated the
deceased, her brother and a sick baby. Mathews went to
a shelf in the shop and took a can of naphtha off it, and he
then went to the fire, and while he was filling his lamp
he let some of the naphtha fall into the grate. There was
an explosion at once ; and the deceased, who was nearest
the fire, had her clothes set in a blaze. The jury returned
a verdict of " Accidental death, caused by the explosion
of a naphtha lamp, and they desire to rebuke Robert
Mathews for his want of caution in pouring out naphtha
near a fire where children were seated."

SINGULAR ACCIDENT TO A RAILWAY GUARD.—
An accident of a serious nature has happened to William
Curnick, of 24, Wolfe-street, Dockheait • breaksman an
the Metropolitan Railway, who was acting as guard. It
appears that the unfortunate man was looking out for the
signals at Xing's-eroia when the door flow open and he
fell out upon the six-foot way. He was picked up insen-
sible, and conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-
inn-ruad, where it was ascertained that three of his ribs
were broken, and that he had sustained other serious

there is an immense supply. About 40 persons were found
located on the Wand, the arrival of one of her Majesty's
vessels being hailed with great delight, upwards of two
months having ela since they hail @sea a mil On the
following day the Reindeer left for Starbeck Island, which
had also been worked for its guano, but, owing to the
difficulty of embarking it, and the bad anchorage for
ships, the trade had been given up, and the Wand aban-
doned. All the buildings on shore were found to bola
ruins, a proclamation being discovered of the island
having been taken possession of by the captain of her
