The CHAIRMAN statel that as of course there was
some uncertainty in this r-nlisation of the assets, it was
considered that a resumpti,n of business by tlae firm
would lea .1 to no good, :m.l that the liquidation of the
estate under invpection would be more desirable. He
(Mr. Dobree) was sure all present would esteem the de-
cision of the firm to suspend, and thus save to the ge-
neral creditors so large an amount of avai'able assets.

CRUELTY' TO A HORSE.— Fatrbank, in the
employ of Mr. Tlaoinas Ward, cf Barking, Essex, was
summoned for working a hone in at: unfit state.

The officer, who seamed glad to get the man at any
price, then procured a cab, and the parties left the

Police-constable, 553, stated that be was on duty on
26th Sept., is F,mcbureh-street. His attention was
directed to a horse the defendant was driving in a cart.
Shortly after the horse fell, and on witness examining it
he found an old vore, the size of tho palm of a man's
hand on the shoulder. The collar was in a beastly state
from the discharge of the wound.

court.

The defendant denied that it was an obl wound. The
horse, he said,, Waf4 all right when he left the Borough,
and that the wound coniplained of was caused by the
horse falling down.

Mr. Alderman Wire fined the owner ss. and costs,
and the defendant 2s. 6d. and costs.

SUNDAY TRADING.—Mis 9 Sarah Leighton, of the
Green Parrott, Green Arbour-court, was summoned for
having her house ope❑ on Sunday last, contrary to the
act and after a previous conviction.

May, one of the detectives, deposed that on Sunday
last, about 25 minutes to twelve o'clock, he saw two
men knock at the defendant's door, and afterwards ad-
mitted. He followed them in and saw four persons
there; two men were sittingon a barrel drinking out of a
pint pot. He was in plain clothes, and he called the female
who was behind the bar on one side, and informed her who
he was and that he should summon her. She replied
he had seen nothing to make a case against the house,
and that one of the men was a lodger, and the others
his friends.

The female in question who attended for the de-
fendant, denied there was
,any drinking, and said the
measure and glasses on the counter were those that had
been u3ed the previous night.
Mr. Alderman Wire said he was bound to believe the
oath of the policeman, and he found the defendant had
been previously convicted.

The defendant replied the conviction alluded to took
place four years since, during the lifetime of Mrs.
Leighton, and was the only complaint that had been
brought against her during 55 years she resided in the
house.

Mr. Alderman Wire said he should in this case fine
the defendant only in the costs, and his reason for doing
so was not that he disbelieved his statement, but be.
cause he disapproved of an officer going into a house in
disguise.

Mr. D. Morgan, of the Woolpack,"Half•moon-street,
was summoned for a similar offence.

Police serg,eaut 8 litat.:(l that about half-past eleven
o'clock on Sunday morning last he found 20 persons in
front of the defendant's bar (men and women) drinking.
Pots and glasses were on the counter, which was wet.
The defendant admitted the fact, but excused himself by
stating tbat he was up-stairs at the time, where he had
been confined for several days previous from illness.
He was fined 10s. and costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

MANSION.FIOUSE.

CHARGE OF LIBEL.—M. Romannetti, a French gentle-
man, residing at 75, Oxford-terrace, Hyde-park, was
charged before the Lord Mayor with libel, in writing
and sending to Mr. Garratt an insulting, slanderous, and

libellous letter, reflecting on the character of Mr. Cor-
bett, his partner, and with also forwarding a similar
letter to the latter gentleman.

Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution. The pri-
soner, who was unable to speak English, was unde-
fended, but had the assistance of a French gentleman,
named Pinton, a French advocate, as his interpreter.
Mr. Parry stated that Mr. Corbett and Mr. Garratt
were partners, carrying on business as wine merchants,
Old Jewry, and were gentlemen of the highest respeo.
taiiility. In the early part of 1353 the defendant sepa.
rated from his wife, and by the deed of separation, of
which Mr. Corbett was one of the trustees, the wife,
who was possessed of property to the amount of 2001.
per annum in her own right, agreed to allow the defers.
dant 301. per annum out of her property in this country,
and 251., the rent of an estate belonging to her in Cor-
sica. The defendant bad received these amounts under
the deed for two years, but in consequence of some dis-
agreement between himself and wife, and who had sued
him in the Boulogne courts, the defendant repudiated
the deed, and had subjected Mr. Corbett and also Mr.
Lowe, the gentleman who prepared the deed, to much
annoyance. On the 6th October Mr. Garratt received a
letter signed by the prisoner, in which he charged Mr.
Lowe and Mr. Corbett as "conspirators," "conspira-
tors to defraud him," " an association of robbers," c, a
troup of conspiring robbers," in withholding his rents,
&c., &c. The proceedings were instituted under 6 and
7 Vic., chap. 96, commonly called Lord Campbell's
Libel Act.

Evidence was given in support of the charge,
from
which it appeared the defendant's wife was an English
lady. Mr. Corbett and his brother were the lady's
trustees.

In order to allow the defendant to obtain legal assist-
ance the case was adjourned for a week. the defendant
entering into his own recognisances of 1001.

posed that last evening the prisoner came into his shop
to take a light for his cigar, and on complainant asking
him if he wanted anything. He replied, " No, you
puppy," and followed complainant into his parlour,
where he abused him very much, he aimed a blow at
complainant, which missed him, but broke a pane of
glass in the par!our door. A ecuffie took place between
them, in the cours, of which the prisoner fell into a
box of pipes. A Nsnd of the prisoner was with
him, and encouraged Lim to
," serve the com-
plainant out." He believed the prisoner had been
drinking. The prisoner, who said be was also a tobac-
conist, residing in Featherstone-building4, said he went
to the complainant's to get some to'itteo, but that he
was treated in a very unbecoming manner by him. He
and his witnesses gave a diffront account of the transac-
tion to that by the complainant, and said tae latter
struck him first. A policeman was called in, but the
complainant was reluctant to give the defendant into
custody until he insisted on it. At the station the com-
plainant offered to settle the matter for ss.

Alderman Hunter dismissed the Complaint.
