year and seven months ago he borro
society, and he had paid it back by instalin
week ; he never missed a w2ek ; the last was paid on
the Ist November last. (He produced his passbook,
which showed the payments to be correct.) In reply to
Mr. Wybergh, the witness said he paid the money to the
prisoner Knaggs. Mr. Williams, the present secretary
of the society, said £6 of the money had only been
accounted for by the prisoner. Mr. Thomas
Fernihough, a publican, residing in North John-
stieet, stated that he borrowed money at the
office (X3O) and had repaid it all. In this
case the prisoner had only accounted for £9 18s of it.
Mr. Thos. Gill, a shopkeeper in Great Crosshall-street,
said he borrowed four sums of money at the office, all of
which he repaid to the prisoner. None of these sums
were accounted for; the witnesses produced their pass
books, which contained entries of the payments. In

they at last got him in Manchester. The prisoner, who
declined saying anything, was fully committed for

BEFORE S. HOLME, ESQ

Two Iturra.ws.—Patrick Greeny and Joseph Conner,
two most ruffianly looking fellows, were charged with
fighting in Great Crosshall-street on the evening of
Sunday last, about eight o'clock, and causing a great
disturbance. The two defendants presented a most
horrible spectacle, one having his nose awfully cut,
and the other his cheek much injured from the effects of
the contest. Mr. Holme said that in this case he should
pursue the same course as Mr. Mansfield did, for annoy-
ing the public on the Sabbath, (particularly at the time
when persons were leaving pieces of worship,) which
was, that they should each pay a fine of 20s and costs, or
be committed for one month. They were committed.
A QUEER SAILOR.--John Dawson, a person of very
great• statue, and of a most forbidding countenance, was
charged with assaulting a police officer in the execution
of his duty. The officer stated that he was on duty at
the Sandon dock-ga!e, when the defendant came up and
requested to be admitted, but, as he was in a state of
intoxication, he was refused. Before this, the defendant,
who represented himself as a sailor belonging to the ship
John Jane Boyd, said all he wanted was, to go to his
ship. Mr. Holme : What do you say you are ? D3fen-
dant : lam a sailor. Mr. Holme : Yon are a most queer
looking sailor. Defendant : lam a sailor, and I came
with the ship. Mr. Garnett : He belongs to an
American ship, and they are most of them queer looking
fellows. Mr. Holme : Yon must learn that in England
you are not allowed to knock o:r police down like
balls, if you do so elsewhere. You will pay a tine of
lOs and costs, or be collimated for twenty-one days'
imprisonment. • , ,
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—A female named Jane Jones,
was brought up on a charge of having attempted to
commit suicide. She alleged that
treated by her husband, and anout to try to get to
her parents in WA., and most positively denied that
she evor d.i.tempted to destroy herself. Mr. Holmes ex-
pressed his regret that the mother of a family should
by'her own accord, attempt to rush into the presence of
the Almighty, with all her sins upon her head.
having pledged her word that she would not as_
an attempt upon her life, but go home to her parents,
was diseliarged,
PALMING —A fareigne

who described himself as a
singer, and who gave his name as John Passe, was charged
by Mrs. Collins, the keeper of a stall, in St. John's
Market, with attempting to steal a sovereign... .Mrs.:
Collins stated that on Saturday afternoon, the defendant
went to her shop, for, as he alleged, the purpose or pur-
chasing a bath. She showed him one, which he said
was too large, and Ale got him another. Having just
counted out 100 sovereigns for the purpose of taking
them to the bank, and the defendant apparently not
knowing bow to give her the price, Bs, for the ham, she
took one of the sovereigns from the hundred, with half a
sovereign and 10s, and was endeavouring to explain to
him how to give the charge, when he took up the
sovereign, and threw 7s 6d in silver and 6d in copper
into the drawer. She believing that all was not right,
caught hold of his hand, and took the sovereign from it,
he having previously placed it between his fingers and
bound his handkerchief around it. The defendant, in
Italian, attempted to explain the matter, and after some
little consultation, he was discharged.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.-.YESTERDAY

(BEFORE MR. commiS9loliitit IERRY.)

IN RE JOHN RICHArtDSON.—The bankrupt, who carried
on the business of a timber merchant in Liverpool, applied
this day for his certificate. He was unsupported. Mr.
Etty opposed on behalf of the assignees, and directed his
Honour's attention to the fact that not only were the
trade expenses in excess of profits, but that the bankrupt's
personal expenses amounted to the sum of £4OO. His
Honour said he could only grant a third-class certificate,
which should be suspended for twelve months from that
dav, but with protection.

IN RE WILLIAM SIIERRAM—The bankrupt, grocer, of
Crewe, passed his adjourned last examination, and the
30th of June was fixed for the certificate meeting.

IN BE WILLIAMS & ROBERTS.—The bankrupts, who car-
ried on the business of joiners, near Mold, came up on
their last examination. The case was further adjourned
to the 14th.

Mr. John Wright, for many years chief clerk to Mr.
Day, late messenger, has been continued in the same
office by Mr. Ayres. Mr. Wright deserved this mark of
the appreciation of his services, not more from the inti-
matO knowledge of the duties of his office than from his
unvarying attention and courtesey.

APOTHECARIES' HALL.—The following were amongst.
the gentlemen who passed their examination in the science
and practice of medicine, and received certificates to
practise, on Friday last :—Mr. William Palmer Rowe,
Liverpool, and Elisha Hodkinson Monks, Wigan.
A PUBLIC TEA PARTY.—The peace was celebrated at
Stamford by, amongst other things, a monster tea-party.
An immense urn was placed on the middle table, from
which pipes ran the length of the marquee, and at equal
distances were taps to draw off the beverige. The tables
were superintended by 130 ladies. For the tea 200 stones
of cake were provided, and the whole was consumed or
carried away.
.500 gallons of tea were made, and 10 gal-
lons were left. ,

ANTICIPATED GRAND SOMMERS' CONTEST.—A challenge
is about to appear from Henry Kelly, of Fulham, who
defeated John Mackinney, of Richmond, last week, to
James Messenger, the champion of the Thames. to row
from Putney to the ship, at Mortlake, for .elOO a side.
The men are to meet on Wednesday evening at the
Feathers, Wandsworth, to discuss the matter. Should
Kelly prove himself the better man, Messenger's aquatis
honours will have been as short lived as his predecessors

APPREHENSION OF BURGLARS.—On Friday, a gang of
six burglars, whose depredations have recently been
carried on to an alarming extent in the West Riding, were
arraigned before the Bradford magistrates on several
distinct charges. During the last six months the inhabit
ants of Bradford and the villages adjacent 'la
almost weekly alarmed by the news of hov breakings
and extensive robberies ; _ and, a few we

borough police obtained a clue to the detc

terrible weapons in the f
with strong but pliable handles and each heavily loaded
at one end with a leaden ball. It was conclusively proved
by the fact that portions of the property stolen from par-
ticular premises were found in each of the prisoners
houses, that they had acted in concert only too success-
fully. The magistrates committed the five prisoners for
trial at the next York assizes.
