COURT OF EX MEW:TER.
To-day had been appointed for delivering judgments in
came which had boon argued, but none were ready for
delivery.
Baron Bramwell, on entering the court, accompanied
by Baron Channoll, said that the case of Lloyd v. Sunup
and another, which was an action against the church-
wardens of St. Mark's, Kennington, for the minister's
=would stand over until next term for further con-
td' ion. The case of Payne v. the Mayor of Wey-
mouth would stand over until the /Mid of fact were
tried. In the case of Primv. Knowles the court was
not ready to pronounce judgment, but repeated the
strong recommendation for a compromise between
the parties which they made at the time of the argument.
The case of Topham v. Lyle was argued before himself and
Baron Martin, and they thought it ought to be argued
before a large number of judges. [This was an action
against a young lady in Cornwall forlibel upon a farmer,
who had become tenant of a farm upon her father's
estate in that county, and involved some very singular
circumstances.] The information by the Attorney-General
against Revels y and others, which raised an important
question as to the right of the crown to the subsoil and
minerals of certain mountain waste lands in Wales, his

Their lordships then rose.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN ItII BYWOZUId.
. The bankrupt in this case, Joseph Hargrave Symonds,
was a miller, carrying on business at Lower Edmonton.
His debts are about 2,0001. The case now came before
the court on an application by the bankrupt for his re-
lease from custody.
Mr. R. Griffiths (on behalf the Attornelc-ruGe who
represented the Charity Commissioners opposed the
application, on the ground that the ban p had been
guilty of a breach of trust. It appears that the bankrupt
in virtue of his having administered to his mother s
estate, became sole trustee of a charity known as "Mary
Elder's Trust." Ho had received about 4201. of the
trust money, and had dealt with it as part of his mother's
estate, in ignorance, as he alleged, of its being trust pro-
pug. Proceedings in Chancery bad followed, and a
decree had been made against the pt for repayment
of the 4201.
Mr. Doria, for the assignee under the bankruptcy, was
willing that the bankrupt should have his release on his
giving up pmerion of the premises which he held. He
readily undertook to do so, and said he would authorise
the assignee to break off the padlock and take possession
at once.
Mr. Griffiths said he had no desire to keep the bank-
nipt incazirodiy, and on behalf of the Attorney-General,
would to his being reipased ids gietog rep paw

The application was adjourned until Thursday.

The bankrupt, a baker, of Rufford's-row, Islington,
applied for his order of discharge.
Mr. Tunatall opposed for the assignees. He wished
to call attention to the violent conduct of the
bankrupt, who, with the assistance of a mob
of rough 'lrishmen,. had ejected the messenger of the court
from the premises in the dead of the night. Next day
possession was retaken, and four men were placed there,
but they also were ejected with violence. Thereupon
proceedings were taken before a magistrate, and the case
was still undecided. He asked the court to adopt such
measures as it might think proper for the protection of the
estate.
Mr. R. Lewis denied the participation of the bankrupt in
the riots.
His Honour said the case must stand over till the close
of the proceedings in the police court.

Witness—l am. I waited a short time at the window,
to see what sort of head the man had, but he did not

into Mr. Barnes house, and Mr. Dormice went round,
and told the police, and the police went into the house
and secured the prisoner.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Yon have acted very properly.
Mrs. Susan Barns, wife of the prosecutor, said—On
Monday morning I heard a violent ringing at the bell, and
on looking out of the window was told by the pollee that
the window was open ; and, on going downstairs, we
found the house had been entered. hEy husband and the
police went down into the cellar, and there found the pri-
soner secreted under s sink, and they brought him
updairs and I gave him a good shaking, being very
much excited at anding a thid in the house, and told
him that if he had come up into my bedroom I might
liars shot him. Hassid he had a " pal" who had got seven
years, and he wanted seven years too. Everything
in the place bad been pulled about, and the
brandy tap was running, and some boxes were
broken open, and a quantity of silver and coppers
taken from the till were found in a water-butt in the cellar.
The prisoner said he bad left • man outside and that he

Mr. Arnold—Tired of teetotalism?
Prosecutor—Well, I wanted something. There were a
good many of us in the excursion who had something to
drink. As I wee going in the Crawley Arms, in the Pul-
harn-road, the prisoner was at the door, and asked me if I
would treat her. I gave her a little gin, and then we
walked together towards my home, when all of a mddenshe
dropped down on the ground and said, "How bad I am."
I said I was very sorry, and she said, " Oh, I am bad,"
and laid hold of me and pulled me towards her. I did

assistance.
In reply to the magistrate Roach said tickets for
Battersea-park station wore available for York-road.
The train stopped at York-road station.
The prisoner cross-examined another witness to show
that the door of the carriage was fastened and he could not
open it in time to get out at the station. He said that
ers could not reach the catch from outside, as it was
ow down the door.
It was stated that the door was fastened when the train
arrived at Clapham Junction. It was also stated that
passers could not get out of third class canines with-
out assistance from the officials.
Mr. Ingham said the evidence supported the prisoner's
statement that the door was and that he could
not see a porter to open it. It was not likely a man who
wanted to get out at York-road would go on to Clapham
Junction.
The prisoner was asked why be did not give his name
and address, and he said he was annoyed by the guard
unpin that the door was not locked.
Mr. Ingham then discharged the prisoner, and told him
that he ought to have given his name and address.

2113 1131017 LAS OILBOE Of THSEATEXLSO TO XIIRDZA.
Ali Fermi aged. 60, described as a publisher, was in-
dicted for sending threatening letters to Basil Melee,
demanding money from him with menaces. He was also
indicted for publishing a certain defamatory libel of and
concerning M. licks.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Gilfard, QC., and Mr.
Sleigh conducted the prosecution, and the prisoner wee
defended by Mr. Montagu Williams.
The case was opened by Mr. Berjeant Bellantine, who
stated that it was of a very singular character. The cir-
ewnstancee under which the charge was preferred have
been recently reported, and it will be remembered that
the prisoner was the publisher and editor of a shipping
list, which for some time afforded him a conaiderable
income, the prisoner himself stating that it amounted to
70W. a year, and there was no reason to doubt hie assertion.
n.
a rival paper was started by a gentleman
Dornbusch, and as it was found to contain more
information than that of the prisoner, a large number of
gentlemen transferred their subscriptions from the
of phis
ri-
soner's to Mr. Dornbusch's list. The consequence
was that the prisoner's means were considerably reduced,
but the prosecutor had been moot active in assisting his
family. Some time ago the prisoner wrote a
number of letters to Mr. Melee, attributing to him
and other Greek merchants who had formerly sub-
seribed to his paper the ruin of himself, his wife, and
family, and claiming a gum of 14,00 W., as compensetion,
but in fact the prisoner bad no claim upon him whatever.
In one of the letters the prisoner told Mr. Melee to make
the •• sign of the cress," intimating that something dread-
ful would happen to him, and as it was found that the
prisoner had gone to a gunmaker's and ordered a number
of bullets to be made for a pistol the prosecutor felt it
necessary for his own safety to give him into custody.
The Recorder, after the case had been opened, inquired
of the learned counsel if nothing could be done to prevent
their going oa with this case.
Mr. Scrjeaat Ballantine said the prosecutor had no
desire to press for punishment against the prisoner; his
only object was to prevent him from doing any harm.

round, and the step next carriage struck him and
knocked him down on the metals. The wheels of the
second carriage cut off his legs. As soon as the engine
could be stopped witness got down and went to the man,
who was alive and quite sensible. He said, when he was
being lifted up, " Don't shake me." Witness backed the
train and put the man into a carriage, and took him
to the Crystal Palace, whence he was sent by another
company's train to the hospital. Witness knew nothing
of the deceased. The whistle was turned violently en
from the time the man was seen until after the train

It appeared that the unfortunate employed lived at Rose
Cottage, l'eage-road, and bad a son as an engine

see his son, or perhaps to get home by • short cut, but

appeared in court, and said that he was instructed, with
