BANKRUPTCY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(*Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

IN RE L. DELORME.

This was a meeting for last examination. The bank-
rupt was a merchant, carrying on business at Broad-
street-buildings.

The bankrupt not having Sled his balance-sheet the
examination was adjourned accordingly.

IN HE HENRY OPPENHEDL

This was a meeting for last examiLation. The bank-
rupt resided at Harbour-place, Ramsgate, carrying on
business as a ship chandler, custom house agent, &c.
Mr. Duncan opposed, and Mr. Buchanan supported
the bankrupt.

The balance-sheet extended from March, 1854, to
May, 1855. His creditors unsecured were stated at
1,9041., and his profits at 5731. His good debts were
731., doubtful and bad 11., property less creditors in full
4541., excepted articles 201., trade expenses 4081., in-
terest and banker's commission 431., law costs 31., repairs
221., domestic and personal expenses 3771., losses 9801
deficiency at commencement 100/.
Mr. Duncan opposed the bankrupt on several grounds.
One was that he had omitted to enter in his balance-
sheet a debt of 251., goods supplied on sale or return.
Until that had been amended and other matters ex-
plained, the bankrupt ought not to pass his last exami-
nation.

Mr. Buchanan contended the omission complained of
was not material, being an error easily remedied.

His Honour considered the omission complained of
fatal to the bankrupt passing his last examination to-
day, and accordingly adjourned it to allow of the
balance-sheet being amended.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS
DAY).

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Erie.)
Rebecca Turton, a middle-aged woman, was indicted
for the wilful murder of her husband, Thomas Turton,

by strangling him.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosezu-
tion. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballantine,
through the instrumentality of the sheriffs.
The learned counsel for the prosecution said that the
circumstances of the case were rather of an extraordi-
nary character, the offence imputed to the prisoner hav-
ing been committed so far back as April, 1854, and he
said that the delay had been occasioned by the circum-
stance that the prisoner immediately after the act had
been committed was in a state of decided insanity, and
was confined for nearly 12 months in a lunatic asylum.
She was now, however, sufficiently recovered to enable
her to take her trial, and the jury would have to

say by their verdict whether the evidence that he should
lay before them was sufficient to justify them in coming
to the conclusion that the prisoner was guilty of the
serious crime imputed to her by the present indictment.

He then proceeded to state the facts of the Gene, a.nd it
appeared that the deceased was a labouring man, and he
and the prisoner occupied two rooms in - a house in
Richard-street, Bromley. It appeared that about 9
o'clock at night, on the 21st of April, the deceased came
home partially intoxicated and went to bed, no one, of
course, but the prisoner being with him, and between
I and 2 o'clock on the following morning the prisoner
gave an alarm and said that her husband was
dead, and upon the landlord of the house going
into the bed-room the deceased was found lying upon
the bed, and there was a cord mark round his neck, as
though some ligature had been tied tightly around it
and the death of the deceased was evidently the result
of strangulation. Upon a search being made in the
TOOM, one of the braces worn by the deceased was found.
and when this was compared with the mark upon the
neck of the deceased, it corresponded exactly, and the
buckle, in particular, seemed to have been the cause of
an ahrasure that was manifest upon the neck, under the
left ear. The prisoner, who appeared in a very excited
state, was taken into custody, and on the following
morning she asked the female searcher to allow her to pray,
and she knelt down, And then said it was a very bad job,
and she afterwards exclaimed " What will the devil not
tempt any one to do when they are in a passion !" She
subsequently said, "Poor Tom is dead, and I did it."
The surgeons who were examined expressed their opi-
nion that the deceased had been strangled suddenly in
his sleep, and that he was unable to offer any resistance,
and there appeared to be no doubt that the prisoner's
was the hand that inflicted the violence. It appeared,
however, that she had for some days before the fatal
occurrence 'behaved in the most extraordinary manner,
and on the night of the 20th April she bad taken a
policeman into her husband's room, telling him that
he bad poisoned himself with mimic ; but it ap-
peared that he was perfectly well at that time ;
and when the policeman told bias what his wife
bad said he said that there was no foundation for her
statement, and he added that he did not know what to
do with his wife, and he thought she was going mad. It
also appeared that the prisoner had called out to a po-
liceman from her bedroom window, and asked him if he
was the devil, and also said that she could see the cats
scratching dead bodies out of their graves. It was like-
wise proved that when the prisoner was committed to
Newgate in May last to take her trial for this offence
she was insane, and not in a condition to plead, and it
appeared that she was removed to Bedlam, and subse-
quently to a private asylum.
The learned Judge, at the close of the evidence of Mr.
M‘Murdo, expressed his opinion that it was unnecessary
to proceed any further with the inquiry, as he did not
think the jury could enttrtain any doubt that at the
time the offence was committed the prisoner was insane.
The jury said they were of opinion that this was the
fact, and they at once acquitted the prisoner on the
ground of insanity.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
John Coling and John Clarke, two respeetsble•looking
young men, were indicted for stealing a fisking-rod,
valued at 145., the property of Frederick Nicholson.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. W. Cooper de-

fended.
It appeared that upon the 18th of July the prosecutor,
a youth, was at a friend's at Cranbrook, Booz, fishing,
and having left off placed his rod against a will inside of
the garden, and some time afterwards missed it. Infor.
mation having been given to the police, and some hours
afterwards the two-prisonera were seen in the neigh_
hourhood, one of them with the rod, which he was openly
carrying, and he immediately told the police that they
had found it in a garden.
Both prisoners, it appeared, bore an extremely good
character at Ilford, where they had lived neatly all their

• The jury immediately acquitted the prisoners.
Tau MARYLEBONN MIIRDER.—In the cou-se of the
day the grand jury brought in a true bill against Henry
Watts, for the murder of Sarah Watts his wife, at Mary-
lebone, by kicking and beating her in a most brutal
manner.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Russell Gurney, E'4q•)

James Wright, 73, was indicted for a rape upon the
person of Mary Ann Young, a child of eight years of
age.
Mr. Parry prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson defended.
The facts were of a most revolting character, tut not
sustaining the indictment, in a legal point of view, the
ad 'gut was acquitted.
