for antenue, and deo solicited the defendant to introduce hint

referred to the loans which he had male to the defendant.
Evidence was then given to prove the fairness and reason-
ablenesss of the plaintiff'', chugs".
Mr. Edwin Jame, addreetred the jury for the defendant,
and called the following witnesses :
Mr. Prepert said that he was a surgeon. Ile lived
in New Cavendish-Mete. He hod seven children. The
defendant was his woad eon. lie would not be of age till
September next. He war amply applied with clothe. and
porker-money when he went to Ilaikybury. He had first
rd of the planter A account in June last. The plaintiff
called upon hen shortly before the action woe commenced.
Ile sent hie solicitor down, who paid the money into the
sheriff's hands, to prevent the arrest it his eon, which would
have prevented his examination. lids eon sailed on the 4th
of October.
Mrs. Prepert deferred to the age of the defendant, and the
supply of clothes to him by his father's tailor. Mrs. Pro-
pert, en her erode-examination, admitted that the had ran
her son Watr clothe, other then thee applied by his
father'. tailor; but who thought toot they hail been applied
by the renege taller, fur whom there wee • charge of 10/. per
term always.
The examination of the defendant was then wed, in which
he gave an account of the clothe. end louts from the plain-
tiff, and she of the articles which he had obtained from Wm
father'. tailor.
Mr. M. Challtbsra contended, in reply, that the deice-
danCe ewe had broken down. The evidence fell short of
proving that the defendant had born supplied with clothes
to an extent uneuit able to liisgeosition at Haileybury College,
and the position in life of his father. The defendant's
father appeared to be a men of high professional repute,
and also pureed of ceneiderable property. The learned
counted said he dial not defend Iris client for lending
money to the defendant and charging the loans ea clothes ;
hut, on the other hand, the defendant ought to have dis-
charged them.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Fmn. 10.

Wears requested to state that this bankrupt was a Aare-
holder, and Dot "director of the Marylebone Dank, as stated
in a former report, and ties. to his eennexion with that in-
stitution his appearance in the Bankruptcy Court is directly
attributable.

to • lad who worked with him, ha felt It his ditty to give
him into custody.
The led referred to was then "maned, and Mated that
having been induced by the prisoner to pueebrio the du-
g:Mum he afterwards went to the pawnbrs for the pur-
pose of Inspecti the uncles to which reistedlbit
while in the ad of doing so thspeoseentor interd the
and, to answer to hie inquiries, ho at once disclosed to
the manner in which the tickets had come into his pm-
staset.

On heezingtheeridance against hine, the primer burst hito
tsars, and rid that be bad bees inetigstedly the lest witness
to take the duplicates, and he believed the latter had been
instructed to entrap him into the act, se his father had re-
pagedly expressed& wish to got rid of him altogether.
A respectablydreseed young man, who described himself
as the brother of the boy, hare stepped forward and earnestly
requested pertuiedon to offer a few observations on behalf of
the accused. Witness was the !Ides( of eight children, who

hadbeen lett under the ran of the prosecutor at the death of
their mother about two years since, and before the expiration
of the first month after her funeral his father brought home
an abandoned woman, with whom he had ever since cohabited.
Witness immediately left the home, but his brothers end
slaters, who were too young to provide for themselves, were
compelled to remain theee and he was sorry to say that his
father had subsequently resorted to the basest means in order
to relievohinvaelf from the burden of their support. Amongst
other Intel:none expedients for that pure se, ha had been in
the habit of procuring plated medals, resembling counterfeit
coin, which he had placed in their way, with the apparent
hope that they would be taken into custody for attempting
to pass them as genuine money, but having failed in that
object he turned the whole of them out of doors, and told
them that they must get their living as they could.
The witnem, who exhibited extreme emotion, added that it
was most repugnant to hie feelings to expoec his father to
such an extent, but be felt hound to do or, in order to save
his unfortunate brother from disgrace and ruin.
Mr. YOOIIIIIII, a respectable tradesman in Finsbury, who
had taken one of the children into hie service fever natives

of companion, corroborated the Adamant of the last witness
with regard to the conduct of the father, which wee a coin-
plane scandal to the neighbourhood.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said that he generally found theme parents
who were so anions to prosecute their own children were
thenumbres persons of very questionable character, and that
thejesamt came was a stoking instance of it.
Tra=
tor—But they have told a tissue alma aganiat
..
lie. D'Eyneourt—You had better leave the court without
further diagraring yourself. The prisoner is discharged.
MAALBOROI:G11-STREET.
A man named Tennant, in the diem of a stableman, cams
eninkt into court to ask Mr. Baden how be could get rid of
his wife, who pandits& in following hint about to different
places he obtained, and by her violent conduct got him
turned away. The last place he obtained wan with Baron
Rothschild, but ho had been obliged to leave in consequence
of hia wife coming there in a 'date of intoxication, and creat-
ing a mole Ly her threats against Wm. He was willing to
abide by aril thing the magistrate might surgivt, :no that he
was ensured from future molestation, and was enabled to
esriste himself from his wife.
The wife, who had followed the man into court with two
children, !rid rho wan quite stilling to be leparated from bine
husband, who ill-treated her, and spent money in a publics
house that ought to go towards the support of his faintly.
The husband denied this. lie produmal a handful of
duplicate,. and stated that hie wife had pawned everything
the could lay hands upon, even the bed, to get money to
spend in drink. He would take the eldest child, a girl about
four years old, and allow as much as the magistrate might fix
for the suppurt of his wife end infant out of his wagesof lie.
a week.
The wife declared ithe would not part with either of her
children.
The husband asked if his wife, who got drunk and
neglected the child, was a it person to have chargeof it?
Mr. Deaden maid it had been decided that a mother was
entitled to have charge of her children for nurture until they
were seven year. of age. lie must direct, if the parties
agreed to impend°, that the mother 8110 UM have cluarp et
the children ; but if hereafter there ehould Lc meson to Wir
that the mother got drunk, or otherwise showed herself nit
to have charged' the eldest child, the husband might mamba
that court again, and ho would see how far he could vadat Ma.
The man ultimately agreed to allow his wife 10e. a week
for the maintenance of herself and children, and the patties
then left the court.
