fair Jahn Kerslake then opened the carte for the plaintiffs.
From his statement it appeared that the testator was
originally a merchant in London, and carried on business
at Austmfrian under the firm of Anderson, Wyss, and
Company. He retired from business several jeers ago,
and in 161111 he went to raids at Torquay, leaving the
plaintiffs in the management of the husinew. The defen-
dant was ttlEr3sulay surviving son of the testator but at one
time he • to have incurred hie father's displeasure,
so that w the letter always. continued to support and
countenance him, he tdid not give him that prominence in
his will which the defendant considered he was entitled to.
The testator died in November, 1867, and the will was
dated the 17th March passions. It was now opposed by
the defendant on the ground that it was not property
executed ; that at the time it was so the testator was of
unwound mind ; that it was obtained by the undue ta-
Buenos of the plaintiffs, and that the testator did not
know or approve of its contents.
(The case was proceeding when we went to press.)

The bankrupt u described-as late of 1, St../ant Ws.

debt in Whitecrom-street. The adjudication was
made on the 3rd of October. on the petition of Mr. W.
Aicock, gentleman, of Basinghall-street. On the 10th
October the bankrupt chtainod his release from custody;
and at the lint sittng. Mr. Julius Calisher,

have been stated at between 3u,000/. and 40,000/.

Mr. H. Linklater, for the bankrupt state:) that the ac-
counts were in a very forward state, and would be tiled in

Mr. Sydney. representing the assignees, asked that, in
addition to the ordinary accounts, the bankrupt should
file cash and deficiency accounts k also a mortgage ac-
count, and an account of his reversionary interests.
His Honour said it would be convenient to pat in writ-
ing the accounts required. There would be an adjournment
sine die, with leave to the bankrupt to come up when
prepared.

sine die. From his experience in other cases he thought it
would be injurious to the interests of the estate. He should
prefer an adjournment to a day certain.

ment for two months was ordered.

POLICE 00178T5.-(T11113 DAY.)

GII'LLDHALL.

Jose !Miriam, a prostitute, and JOAN WW/issis, neither
of whom had any fixed residence, were placed at the bar
before Mr. Alderman Gunton charged with being con-
cerned with a man not in custody in robbing the prosecu-
tor of a purse containing 13s. 6d.
William Rowland and Isaac Farley, two detective officers,
said they were in Cannon-street last night about half-
past 8, and saw the two prisoners and a man not in
custody together. They followed them to the Cannon-
street railway station and back again to King William-
street. The woman walked alone and the two men
a short distance from her, but they frequently
joined company and stood for a time in con-
sultation, and then parted again. The prisoners
proceeded to the Royal Exchange, and thence to St. Mar-
tin's-le-Orand, where the female accosted a gentleman,
but he would have nothing to say to her. They then
went into Paternoster-row and down Ludgate-hill to
New Bridge-street, at the corner of which they all
joined in conversation, and afterwards the woman
walked back up Ludgate-hill, and the men fol-
lowed on the other side of the way. At the
corner of St. Paul's-churchyard they all spoke
again, and then the man not in custody followed the
female prisoner on the same side of the way, and the
prisoner crossed the road and kept close to the railings of
the churchyard. At the corner of Pad's-chain the
female prisoner met the prosecutor, and going in front
of him stopped him in the middle of the crossing. The
man following her stopped short and stood up in the door-
way next to Paul's-chain and put his back close tothe door.
While the prisoner Robinson was talking to the prosecutor
Williams crossed the road in a stooping posture, and the
two men went into Paul's-chain together. Rowland and
Farley then closed upon them, and as they got near to the
women they heard the prosecutor say to her, " You have
got my purse." They were struggling together, and
Farley laid hold of her and took the purse out of her hand.
Williams and the other man were at that time standing
close by Robinson, and she was trying to throw her arm
out as if to pass something to them, but Farley would not
Ict Ler. At the same time the prosecutor's keys fell on the
ground, and a boy picked them up and gave them ts the
officer. Farley took the woman into custody, and
Rowland took the prisoner Williams. At the station-
house they denied all knowledge of each other.
On the way to the justice-room that morning, the female
told Farley that she could not know the prisoner Wil-
liams, because she only came from Scotland on Monday.
Ile told her that was wrong, for he had seen her for some
months, but hail lately lost sight of her.
Williams said the officers were mistaken in saying he
had been with the woman.
Mr. Alderman Caustin said, of course they were.
Williams said he never was in Cannon-street.
Mr. Alderman Causton said he did not suppose for one
moment that he was.
Williams said he never saw the woman until she was in
the Lands of the officers.
Mr. Alderman Causton said he thought so from the first.
(Laughter.)
Williams said he was quite innocent, and the police had
spoken falsely.
Mr. Alderman Causton said be was sure of that before
the prisoner spoke, particularly as both he and the woman
were so respectable that they refused to give their ad-
dresses or any account of themselves. Nevertheless it
was his intention to commit them both for trial. (Re-
newed laughter.)
John Edward Haynes said he was an ivory turner, at
3, W in e-office-court, Fleet-street. L night at a
quarter to 10 o'clock ho was turning out ast
of Paul's-chain
to go home, when the female prisoner met him in the
middle of the street, and putting out her hand addressed
him as " old Mend." lie repudiated her acquaintance,
and then she mid, '• Well, joking aside, what is
the matter with you I" Ile told her that ho had
just got out of • severe attack of rheumatism,
end wanted to have nothing to do with her.
lie pushed her from him with his stick, and then she
came up to him again, caught bold of Mm, and tried to
throw him, end while he was in a backward position she
slipped her hand into his trouens pocket and took out his
lune and key', which she made desperate efforts to pass to
some men, but the officers came up and took the purse out
of Ler hand. When the woman came up to him first he
thought she had a design on his watch, and ho kept his
eve on that, but lie never thought she would attempt his
trousers pocket.
Mr. Alderman Causton thought the prosecutor had
acted very well, and remanded the prisoner for inquiries.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUPPOSED
DOUBLE SUICIDE BY d BANAT:fa CLERK
AND 11111 WIIE IN THE BOROUOIL—IT6IB
1141.)

Considerable excitement was caused in the
borough this morning by the report that a double suicide
bad been committed at No. 46, High-street. The rumour
was Boon verified. It appears that some three weeks ago
• young man, with his wife and a little girl, took
lodgings in the upper story of the house above-named,
si hitt is occupied by Mr. Kerslake, a boot-maker. The
husband, whose name was Deighton, represented himself
to be a clerk in the National Bank, and that he was desi-
rous of removing thither from Kennington, in order to be
newer the bank. Nothing unusual had been observed in
the resident of the *Clued till yeetitelayi when the un-
fortcnste wife remarked that the behaviour of her has•
bend to Mr. Kerslake was somewhat extraordinary.
After having left home yesterday morning it was
discovered that he had not taken his keys with
him as usual ; and his absence from the bank
was made known to the wife by one of the clerks calling
to make inquiries respecting him. This eireamstance
oocsaioned peat ansarinces, and in the course of the day
the wife was mfonned that he was at his mother's. She
telegraphed to the mother, who resided some distance
away, and a reply was sent to the effect that he was
staying there very ill, and that every oars would
be taken of him. This conduct did not tend
to appease the feelings of the unhappy wife,
but from this point nothing has been mar-
tained further than the young man must have returned
home sometime during last night, for about 5 o'clock this
morning both husband and wife were seen to fall from the
top window of the hones in High-street, to the pavement
beneath. The police were soon at hand to render assist-
mos, and the man was found with only his night shirt to
cover him. The woman was, also, only partly dressed.
Both were removed to Guy's Hospital, bat death had
already rendered medical aid of no avail.
It was the opinion of the surgeon that the husband
might have gone to the window, and that the wife, Task-
ing to save him, was dragged out. After the occurrence
it was rumoured that there were children belonging to the
deceased in the house, and that possibly violent bands
might have been laid on them. Access to the room having
been obtained by means of a ladder, the police discovered
a little girl, about two years old. The room was in great
confusion. The child was removed in the charge of the
police to the station-house at Stones-end.

The large incr.'se in the government deposits has
been only partly counteracted by the withdrawals
of private deposits, but, as the Bank has been called
upon for an increased amount of advances on private
securities, the addition to the reserve is limited to
84,191/. The decrease in the coin and bullion is
243,7791., which exceeds by about 127,0001. the
amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank for ex-
port during the week; the inference is that the ex-
traordinary absorption of coin in the internal
circulation is stall going on.
