ROLLS COURT.
IN RE LONDON DOCK ACT.
The Master of the Rolls gave judgment this morning
in this case, the facts of which were of no interest ex-
cept to the parties concerned, but the point involved
was one of the highest interest to the community at
large, namely, whether the acknowledgment of a
married woman might be taken in evidence before
the enrolment of that acknowledgment, under the pro-
visions of the Fines and Recovery Act. His Honour,
after going at some considerable length into the
case, and adverting to the argument for the neces-
sity of taking the acknowledginert before enrolment was
of opinion that no such step was necessary, and decided
that the acknowledgment before enrolment was totally
unnecessary.

BOW ST.REET-(THIS DAY).

EXAMINATION OF HE. STRAHAN, THE BANKER.

This morning Mr. William, Strahan, of the firm of
Strahan, Paul, and Bates, was placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Hall, charged upon a warrant, issued by Mr.
Jardine, with unlawfully negotiating or otherwise dis-
posing of certain deeds or other securities entrusted to
them for safe keeping, they being bankrupts.
Mr. Humphries said he appeared on the part of the
prosecution, and this morning he intended merely to
offer evidence sufficient to justify a remand until
to-morrow the day on which Mr. Bates is
to appear at this court—on which occasion both
the partners in the bank would be placed side by side
at the bar. He should call Dr. Griffith, who would
state that he had deposited with the bankrupts certain
valuable securities to an enormous amount, which he
believed had been unlawfully negotiated.
Dr. John Griffith was then called, and having been
sworn, said he was a Doctor of Divinity, and resided at
Rochester. He had an account at the bank of Messrs.
Strahan, Paul, and Co., in the Strand, of which the
prisoner was one of the partners.
Mr. Humphries—Did you deposit certain valuable
securities with the bankrupts ?
Dr. Griffith—Not with my own hand, but I wrote to
them to purchase certain securities.
Mr. Humphries—Did you receive a letter from them
stating that the purchase had been effected 1

Dr:-Griffith—l did.
Mr. Humphries—Of what did those securities con-

sist
Dr. Griffith-150,000 Dutch florins, which, at the
present rate of calculation, were worth between seven
and eight thousand pounds sterling ; 10,000 3 per Cent.
Danish Bonds, and 5,000 5 per Cent. Danish Bonds.
The value of the whole he should estimate at about
20,0001. or 21,0001.
Mr. Humphries—Have you reason to believe, if Mr.
Strahan is remanded, you can offer further evidence ?
Dr. Griffithireplied in the affirmative.
Mr. Humphries—This is all the evidence I intend to
offer to-day.
Mr. Ballantine said he did not appear to offer any
opposition to the remand. Ile should appear to-morrow
for Mr. Bates, and he was anxious that nothing should
be gone into to-day, as he did not know whether he should
have to appear for Mr. Strahan as well as for Mr. Bates
ou that day. The friends of Mr, Strahan wished it to go
forth that there was no disposition on his part to evade
this inquiry. The moment he received information of
what was going on he returned to town, and immedi-
ately waited upon Dr. Griffith. Had he not been ar-
rested it was his intention to have surrendered himself
at this court to-day, as, whatever might be the result of
