The bankrupt, who had earned on business at the
Unicorn Hotel. North-street. Brighton, asked for his re-
lease. He stated, in answer to the oommissioner, that he
attributed his faslure to badness of trade and the pressure
of coeditor.. lie was insolvent in 1848.
Mr. Commisoierter Holroyd, in the absence of opposi-
tion from any creditor, granted the desired order.

1/f an 00ADEN.
This was also an application for release by do bark-
rapt, who was a builder in &Tea Sisters-road, .111sitoway.
He was opposed by the detaining creditor, pa the groped
that after helisd made an offer of oempssitisa he had got
rid of the whole of his property by bat of sale ; and it
was also complained that lie had surreptitiously removed
401. worth of timber from his premises,
The detaining creditor asked the the matter should be
adjourned until after the meeting for choice of assignees.
On behalf of the bankrupt it was said that he had bees
advised to do a deed- upon a promise of assistance by
the mortgagees, but afterwards found they would not aid
him in any way. It was true that In • moment of
thoughtleamees be had removed property, bat he had
since returned it, and bad acknowledged his error.
His Honour said it was quite impossibki, under the cir-
cumstances, even upon the bankrupt's own statement, to
grant the order for release. At alt events, he must wait
until after the meeting for choice of assignees.

Mr. Webster opposed in this case for the detaining
creditor, and Mr. IL J. Dobie supported.
It appeared that the bankrupt carried on business at
Provident*. New Kent-road, and the complaint
of the oppos creditor was that be had obtained credit
upon a statement? which proved to be untrue, that he
was in partnership with • man of capital named Car-
penter. The jury upon the trial of • cause in which the
defendant denied his responsibility stopped the case,
giving a verdict in the plaintid's ,favour, and the ju
would have granted a prosecution but for certain dial!
culties which he mid stood in the way.
Mr. Dobie said that Carpenter, while promising to
bring in capital, bad failed to do so, but had succeeded in
obtaining possession of . the whole of the assets of the
estate.

Mr. COMMinioner Holroyd said the bankrupt in his
examination before the registrar stated that he c►lled the
man Carpenter bin partner, and that he never acted in
that character. Having regard to all the facts, the court
could not interfere.
Application refused.

Nark. Nook, 43, described as a painter, was brought
up on remand before the Lord Mayor charged with bur-
glariously entering the office of Keens. Bremner tobacco
brokers, carrying on business in Billiter-square, by means
of a ladder, with intent to steal.
Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution.
The prisoner- had for some time been employed by the
housekeeper to clean the windows of the prosecutors'
offices, and it appeared that he had been accustomed to do
so from the inside of the premises. Latterly he used a
ladder, and under the pretenoe of cleaning the windows
on the first floor, he entered the office and stole large
quantities of tobacco at an early hour in the morning.
Since the beginning of July about 621bs. weight of cigars,
value 13s. or 16s. per pound, had been missed. Smart, a
detective officer, instructed the housekeeper to mark the
door in such a manner that he would know if it were
opened during the night. In consequence of those marks
remaining intact suspicion was directed to the prisoner,
and he was eventually taken into custody. Sines the last
examination Smart had searched the prisoner's house and
found a number of Messrs. Bremner's sample cigar boxes
broken up into small p•eces, evidently with the view of
being used as firewood.
The prisoner was again remanded.

ALLEOND WATCH IPABBART AT THE IIETIOPOLTTLN 11.4XLIVAT,

David Bassets, a respectably-dressed man, was charged
with attempting to steal a watch and chain from the per-
son of Daniel' Gibson, at the Farnngdon-road station of
the Metropolitan Railway.
Mr. Ric/Letts, solicitor, defended.
The evidence for the prosecution showed that the prose-
cutor was entering a carnage, when the prisoner pushed
against him and tried to steal his watch, the prosecutor
swearmg that his watch was lifted fromhis pocket. A cry
of ".polics" was raised, and the prisoner ran and got into
camsge eight or ten from that in which the prosecutor
was. When the train stopped at Hing's-croes the prisoner
was apprehended, and when told the charge be said he
was a respectable man, and that prosecutor had better be
careful what he was about _ _ _

Ricketts mid this was a case of mistaken identity,
and called witnesses who bore out the defence, and also
witneesee who gave the prisoner the best of characters.
Mr. Cooke said the case was one which he could no-
decide and committed the primmer to the Middlesex
&Nan for trial, but consented to take bail, two sureties
in the sum of 40/. each.

_ A BARMAN aoaanea Me MAME&

afore, Fry, IS, a barman in the service of Mr. Wallis,
landlord of the London Bridge Tavern, Wellington-street,
London-bridge, was charged with steeling two half-
crolnia, two florins, and one shilling.
From the evidence of the manager of the house, Mr.
William Lakin, it appeared that prisoner had been en-
gaged as barman there for about two months, during
which time about It. a day was missed. In order to de-
tect the thief, and put an end to this system of
robbery, some money was marked and given to a
man named Holmes to pain over the counter. It was paid
to the prisoner, who at the time was cleaning down the
counter, using a pail with water. Hohnes saw him very
cleverly drop something into the pail, and on Mr. Lakin
going to it he discovered two of the marked half-crowns
and a shilling. The prisoner's box was then searched, and
there were found in it two florins marked, and
24 is. 10d. in silver. The prisoner, on being charged
with the robbery, made no reply.
Fohee-constable Sawyer, 170 lit proved marking the
money
.produced amongst other pieced; and said that on
his asking the prisoner how he accounted for the poses.-
sion of it, the latter replied that he did not know.
The prisonernow pleaderl'onilty, whereon the magistrate
said that it was a very serious robbery, and also one in
which the prisoner had shown himself very artful. He
should not deal with the case, but send it for trial at the
60V41021/1.

fie prisoner was then fully committed.

Theme. Owen, • law writer, residing at 11, Adoloo.
street, Deptford, who had been apprehended on a
warrant, was charged before Mr. Matt& with assaulting
and threatening the life of his wife, Sarah Owen.

The accused Was charged some time ago with leaving
hie wife and children in a state of complete destitution,
although he earned, during the parliamentary session,
four or Ave guineas a week, and also with assaulting his
wife. In excuse for the former, he urged that he was
out of employment, and it was arranged that an
adjournment of the case should take place, and
ultimately the warrant which had been i,ened was
ordered to stand over for a month. On
Wednesday last the wife again attended the
court, and said that after his return home
ow the previous Monday night, she having been before
the magistrate the same day, the defendant had assaulted
her in her bed, had eaten some bread and treacle which
was the only food she had for the children, and on
the following day when she attempted to prevent
him eating come porridge, which she had purchased
a pennyworth of oatmeal to make, he had chopped at her
band with a knife, and threatened that "he would swing
for her." Upon this another warrant was issued, which
the police had great difficulty in executing.
The wife having deposed to the above facts, and also
said that when residing in London she was frequently
turned into the streets by the defendant, at night fame, in
her night-drees,
The defendant said he had struck the knife on the table,
but not with the intention of cutting his wife's hand, and
that be was exasperated at her brmgiug him before the
court.

--- -
Mr. Maude said the defendant appeared to have grown
quite callous as to his wife and family. He was a man of
education and ability, and, if be chose, could earn a re-
spectable living. He (Mr. Maude) had endeavoured to
bring about a better state of feeling, and, however painful
it might be, he Inuit now order a commitment to prison
for two months with hard labour. The wife and family
moat be looked to by the parish authorities.
The prisoner was removed to undergo his sentence.

Two EL'MAN SKELETONS FOUND.—A curious
discovery was made in the town of Norton, East Riding,
on Saturday. In digging foundations for furnace. for a
new malt kiln for Mews. Russell and Sons, the brewers,
the workmen, after digging through nearly four feet of
black soil, came to the red sand, in which they found two
skeletons doubled up into the shortest possible awe. One
was that of an old person who had become toothless before
death. The body lay on the right side, with the head to
the east. The grave was only 3ft. tin. by Ift. 3in. The
other skeleton lay on the left side, with the head to the
south, in loose sand. The skeletons were about eight feet
apart, and at right angles to' each other. Nothing was
found with them. The black soil above contained frag-
ments of various Roman vessels, and one bit of Samian
ware. The skulls have been preserved for the Rev. W.
Greenwell, of Durham.

so that they had something over 60,0001. to ism on the
business with, which would always enable them to go 'to
the beet market and pay ready for every-
thing. The construction of the Holborn Viaduct
had caused serious loss to the company, but they
hoped to be recouped when the work was completed. Of
the ten years the company bad been in existence, in Riven,
years the price of provender had enabled them to pay an
average dividend of 6 per cent. He moved the adoption
of the report, and that a dividend be declared for the
half-year at the rate of 21 per mat. per annum.
Mr. Hatt seconded the motion, septeming every confi-
dence in the board.

Mr. WPM moved u an amendment that the report
