This was a petition to the Queen (and referred to the
Judicial Committer) by Mr. Pollard, a barrister, practising
at Hong Kong, who by the Chief Justice was suspended
for come dacs, and fined 200 dots. (30/.), for a contempt
of court. The line hail been paid, and Mr. Pollard com-
plained of the course adopted towards him, and wished
the stigma to be minuses'.

Mr. Watkin William opened the CaNAP yesterday, and
continued Aix address to-day, contending that the punish-
ment of fine and euxpenxion was not warranted by the
facts.

Mr. W. M. James. tl. C., and Mr. Ayrton appeared for the
Chief Justice, not to answer the allegation, but to express
his regret that he had been compelled to adopt the pro-
ceedings he had for the contempt committed.
Sir W. Erie, on the conclusion of the discussien, said
their lord/lips would communicate their decision to her
Ms jesty.

her. 81. e asked ,1,000/. in her letter to Mr. Bingham that
was handed to me. I told her it was an ex-
havagant demand; but if she would make • mar.,
rearm:able demand she should have sufficient Turkish
Consolidei to maintain herself comfortably upon her
giving a receipt. I said I would persuade Mr. Bingham
to give me 2,000 guiutoa suet I would give bar
400 W. Conrolides. I did it because I thought
it 'mild appear more. She was to prepare the re-
ceipt as 1 suggested to her. It was to he an
acquittal of all her claims. I only recollect its
subetance. I might have dictated the receipt.
"Received of Risk Allah 4,000 Consolides on account"
I don't think I told her to put 2,100/. or 2,200/. in the corner.
(Tbereoeipt was put in by direction of the Lord Chief Justiee,
and road as follows :—" Received this 4th day of Feb.,
1884, of W. B. Bingham, Es q., by payment of Risk Allah
Boy, the sum of 2,000 guineas, in full satisfaction of all
payments from him in respect of the child of which I am
now encointe, and the maintenance of the said child. Mary
Wallis.")
Mr. klerjeant Parry observed that Mr. Coleridge was
not justified in putting the questions he had to the plain-
tiff.

The Lord Chief Juatioe—There it is. I am very glad I
called for the receipt, because it speaks for itself.
Plaintiff It was given to me to keep as a secret. This
is the secret 1 referred to before. I hope the woman will
yet be found.
Mr. Coleridge—Take the receipt in your band, Mkt
Allah, and I ask you upon your solemn oath whether it
was not written by Jane Lindou
Plaintiff No.
Mr. Coleridge—Upon your solemn oath, was it not
written by her"
Plaintiff--Certainly not
. '

Mr. Coleridge—Aid at your dictation ?
Plaintiff —No, sir.
The Lord Chief Justice—Who is Lindon ?
Plaintiff—He was sent by Messrs. Carlisle, attorney of
Mr. Bingham's mondani, as a spy over me.
Mr. Coleridge—Will you swear that she did not write
that receipt ?
Plaintiff.—Ves. I have no doubt others saw Mrs.
Wallis on her first and second visits. Mrs. Lin-
don is Mrs. Justice's daughter. Headley came to
me for 5001. to get him out of his scrape in
Staffordshire. The Abbe Dominique was present, who
was staying with me at the time. Mr. Blair
who knew about it is dead. He died while I was in prison.
No other person knew of the circumstance. I did not
know the lady's name at the time. I heard, but lam not
quite sure. I have not troubled about it because the
lady is married. I have no objection to write
down the name privately. I don't now recollect, but I
will give it you to-morrow. There is a lady. in court who
knew a lady whose servant knew of the circumstances.
(Laughter.)
(A letter that had been called for was produced by the
attorney's clerk in the Chancery suit, and handed to his
lordship.)
The Lord Chief Justice—Did you not ask Mr. Bingham
who Mrs. Wallis was
Plaintiff—l did.
The Lord Chief Justice—Did he tell you ?
Plaintiff—He did.
The Lord Chief Justice—Was she not somehow or other
a relation or connexion of Mrs. Justice ?
Plaintiff—No.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
rit RE 0. 'EATON.

The bankrupt, a ridthg-master and livery-stable keeper
of Montpelier-square, Bromptca, sought his discharge
from debts of 2,0821., giving up no assets. At the last
sitting he had been ordered to file cash and deficiency ac-
counts, but not having done so, it was now asked that he
might be adjourned sine die.
The bankrupt alleged that the case was one of great
hardship on him. He had lost 2,0001. ; and he was only op-
posed from vindictive feelings, as the creditors knew that
they could get nothing more out of him, and he had no
means of supplying further accounts. He had in reality
but two creditors—Lady Glands, who had lent him
1,1001., and Lord Strathmore, 2881.
His Honour said that the hardship, if any, was on the
creditors, and adjourned the case sine die, with protection.

The bankrupt, deacribed as a baker, late of Maida-vale
and Abbey-gardens, applied to pass his examination, and
for an order of discharge. Debts, 1,240/. ; assets of trifl-
ing value.
Mr. Tunstall opposed for the assignees, upon the ground
that the accounts were unsatisfactory.
Mr. B. Griffiths, for the bankrupt, urged that the ac-
counts were substantially sufficient. The assignee was an
accountant (Mr. Pettis), and he had no doubt looked into
the accounts very closely, as it were with ami
but after all it was merely a question of figures. (.17:r.:711'd
have been easy for the bankrupt to have taken credit for
additional less through bad flour or stale bread, but the
Lath was as he had stated it, that his losses by bad debts
were at the rate of 101. per month.
His Honour held that the accounts were insufficient,
and adjourned the sitting nine die, with limited protection.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONE O'CLOCIr.

In the Stock Exchange to-day the dealings are
not very numerous, attention being directed to the
completion of the fortnightly settlement. With
the exception, however, of the government funds,
which are flat, at a reduction of 3 per cent.,
upon some considerable bona fide sales, most
securities show thinness. Foreign bonds are in
especial request. In the railway market the
principal feature is a strong demand for Metro-
politan stock, which has been dealt in as high
as 1131, in consequent* of the announcement
that the company's bill has passed through com-
mittee in the House of Lords. Although a alight
reaction has since taken place the present price is
21 per cent. better than yesterday. A moderate
improvement is apparent in a few of the other
lines.
The discount market shows a rather firmer ten-
dency, and the rate for the best bills is quoted
14 to 11 per cent.
Consols are quoted 941 to 1, ex div., for money,
and 951 to 3, ex div., for the account (July 9), and

Foreign bonds are still in demand, and the
general course of prices is favourable. Egyptian

per cent. ; the Orel Vitebsk Railway Loan,
803 to 1, being 3 better; Italian of 1861, 531 to

trian, 51 to 1 prem.; London and Brazilian, 30
to 25 dis. ; Imperial Ottoman, 13 to 3 prem. ;
Consolidated, 3 to 1 prem. ; London and West
minster, 711 to 3; London and County, 501 to
511; and Union of London, 341 to 3.
A few dealings have been recorded in miscella-
neous shares at yesterday's prices. National
Discount, 63 to 3 prem. ; General eredit, 23 to
2 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 33 to 1 per share ;

taking, and also to consider any notices of motion
which may be duly submitted and appended to the

bonnie, Messrs. Appleton and Weddell had
stopped payment. Their liabilities. amounted to
21,0001., but, as the assets exceeded. this sum by
8,0001., the suspension was expected to be only
temporary.
_ _ .

The Metropolitan Railway Company's sal
passed through committee in the House of
Lords at a late hour yestedayp. The dense pro-
viding for conversion of the F.sLsaeaon into Ordi-
nary stock has been rejected by the committee, so
that the two stocks will remain distinct until their
amalgamation in 1870 ; and, in place of £3,700,000
of Ordinary stock, as was intended by the pro-
rconversion of £1,900.004 Eitension stock
teolt, there will continue to be only £1,800,000
as heretofore. The other clauses of the Bill, which
give a legal sanction to the peculiar course pur-
sued by the directors in regard to the payment of
dividends on the Ordinary andExtensionstock, and
to the payment of interest as debentures, some
adopted. Thus far, the Company appears to he
restored, by special enactment, to the position in
which it stood before the recent legal proceedings
were instituted.
