LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr Registrac Winslow as Commissioner.)
IN RE O'CONNOR,

This was an application for order of discharge, and also
fur release from custody.

Mr Lowis opposed on behalf of a Mr Tyler, the detaining
creditor. The obj,ction was that Tyler had brought an
action against the bankrupt in a County Court for a mali-
cious imprisonment, and he recovered the full amount of
damagesthe
by c Court
ti tth/ ri intocouladmv&rd; viz., £6O. The case was'
then removed he Court of Queen's Bench
and bankrupt was taken in execution. le applied in May
last for his release, which, however, was refused.
Mr Dauncy now urged that the bankrupt was entitled to
his discharge, as he had suffered sufficient punishment by
his imprisonment, and if the discharge were granted he
would be entitled to his release.

The learned Registrar said that Cu Saturday in the case of
Tubbs a similar application was made, but there was a
difference in the cases; in that the bankrupt held adverse
possession, and continued to do so. In the present case
the judgment became a debt, from which he would be re-
lieved by the order of discharge, which would be now
granted, and also the order of release.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE r.

HOUSEBREAKING.—Francis Laurence, a fellow who de-
scribed himself as a carpenter, but refused his address, was
charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being concerned with
another man not in custody, in feloniously breaking and
entering the house No. 100, Park-street, Grosvenor-square,
w'th intent to commit a robbery.
Mr John Hughes, a gentleman residing at No. 35, Park-
street, Grosvenor-square, said—While at my sitting room
window yesterday morning, about half-past 8, I observed a
man fumbling at the lock of the opposite house, No. 100.
The man having unlocked the door, walked away, and the
prisoner then walked up, pushed open the door, and
walked in, and then turned his face round, and seeing
that he Ras observed by parsons at my window, and that
I was coming to my door, he ran away. I ran after him,
and having put the police on his track, they caught him.
Mr Tyrwhitt —Was the prisoner ever bodily in the
house ?

Mr Hughes--He was.
Mr Tyrwhitt—Did both the men stand at the door ?
Mr Hughes—Only one at a time.
Prisoner—When I went into the house why did you not
come over and take mei'

Mr Hughes—Because you did not wait Jon?, enough for
me to do so.

Police-constable Watkins, 154 C, said—Yesterday even-
ing I was in Mount-street, and heard a cry of " Stop
thief," and saw prisoner running through some mews, to
Chester-street. I pursued him into Davies-Street, where
he was stopped by another constable, 194 C. I then
charged him with breaking into a house, and gave him over
to 194 C to take to the station while I went back to the
house,

Thos. Tollough, 194 C-1 saw the prisoner running very
fast, pursued by persons calling " Stop thief." I called to
the prisoner to stop just as he did so, being quite exhausted.
I then took the prisoner back, and Mr Hughes, who came
up in a cab, gave the prisoner in charge for being in a
house, I took the prisoner to the station, and on search-
ing him found up his right arm sleeve a screw driver, and
in his pocket a knife and some lucifer matches.
Sarah Annie Price, servant to Miss Gold, of 100, Park-
street, Grosvenor-square, said—While at the dining-room
window yesterday morning I saw two young men pass on
the opposite side of the street. They were together ; no
other persons were about, and I believe the prisoner to be
one of them.

Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week to give
the police an opportunity of seeing whs.ther the prisoner is
known,

THAMES.
THE DANGER OF A NAP IN A PUBLICHOUSE
Charles Macarthy, alias Regan, an aged Irishman, was
brought I efore Mr Partridge charged with stealing 91 and
two keys from a man named Jhalkley, servant to a brewer.
The prisoner is a tall cadaverous-looking fellow, with a
whiskerless face, and has been in custody repeatedly for
robbing drunken men on Saturday nights. He has been
committed for trial three times, end on eaoh occasion ac-
quitted. On Saturday night the prosecutor went into the
Black Horse publichouse, in the Milo End-road, and fell
asleep there with his head on a table. On being aroused
he missed from his right hand trousers pocket two keys,
6d. in silver and 3d. in coppers.
The prisoner—Was it Bd. or 9d , Misther Chalkley ?
Chalkley—Ninepence exactly, and that sum was taken
from you.
Henry Dust, an edge tool maker, said ho was in the Black
Horse publichouse on Saturday night, and saw the prose-
cutor taking a nap on the table. The prisoner sat closer to
the prosecutor than ho ought to have done, and took from
the right hand trousers' pccket of the sleeper two keys and
9d. The prisoner then left the house, Ho followed him
and brought him back. 113 awoke Chalkley and asked him
if he had lost anything. 11, put his hand in his pocket and
said ho had lost 9d and two keys. Ha told the prisoner to
produce the money he had stolen from the man. The pri-
soner at first denied taking anything, and then produced
the money. The keys were on a banch where the prisoner
had been seated.
The Prisoner—Will you swear I took his money from his
pocket ?
Witness—To be sure I will.
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said the prisoner
had been tried at the Surrey Sessions and the Middlesex
Sessions for robbing drunken men on Saturday nights
and acquitted. Last time the prisoner was under remand
for a week for stealing a week's wages from a drunken man
on S:epney-green, and was then discharged.
Mr. Partridge—How does he get his living ?
Inspector Griffin—l never knew him to do anything else
than sneak about public-houses and rob drunkeemen.
Mr. Partridge—Then I sentence him to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
