The bankrupt was an auctioneer clerk at Brampton, and
applied to pass and take his order of discharge. The debts
are £600; no available assets.

Mr Sykes, for the official assignee, said the accounts were
very remarkable. There were no less than 7 tailors, 4
butchers, 8 drapers, an upholsterer, cigar dealer, 5 linen
merchants, a pianoforte manufacturer, and all other descrip-
tions of tradesmen, to the number of 80, and one lawyer.
His Honour said this was ono of those cases which ought
to be diligently watched. It was one which clearly came
under the section of the Act of Parliament relative to un-
justifiable extravagance in living,
.

J - _
A creditor opposed, and said that the bankrupt had ob-
tained goods from him on hire, but took them away,
although ho (the creditor) had refused to give credit, and
only consented to let the goods on hire on the condition that
they should not be removed without his written authority.
As the creditor had not proved his debt the opposition
could not be maintained.

Mr. Read urged that the bankrupt was only 24 years of
age, yet ho had a wife and three children, and he had given
up a situation to go into partnership, and was deceived—
hence his difficulties.

His Honour said that the expenditure had been most
unjustifiable, and the discharge would be suspended for 6
months, but as Mr Sykes did not appear protection would
be granted.

The bankrupt said he would pay all his dobts if he ever
had the means.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

EXPERT JUVENILE PRACTITIONERS.—Jane Barclay, a
girl 14 years of age, was charged with having, in company
with another girl of the same age, named Eliza Barclay,
robbed a shopkeeper.

Eliza Henzell, of 58, King's-road, Chelsea, hosier, said
that the two prisoners entered the shop on Saturday and re-
quested to be shown some stockings. While they were
upon the counter Barclay, who is only 14 years old, said to
the other girl, " Have you got your purse ?" and upon her
replying in the negative, told her to go home and fetch it,
and Barclay immediately left, and after an absence of a few
minutes returned, and said that their mother was coming to
measure the stockings. A silk scarf, which had been on
the counter a short time before, was then missed, and the
girls both endeavoured to get away, but Barclay was then
captured, and being brought to this court yesterday, was
remanded to a future day.

Police-constable Bosch, 312 B, said that he apprehended
the prisoner Barclay last night in Old Pyo-street, West-
ster. He had been, since she had got awa3 from the King's-
road, in quest of her, and from information succeeded in
finding her last night. On searching her he found the miss-
ing scarf, some new stays, and other articles of wearing
apparel.
Mr Arnold asked whether owners had been found for the
latter property.
The police replied that there had not as yet, although
there could be very little doubt that the things had been
stolen. The prisoner had given no account whatever of
how she became possessed of the things, which were very
good.
The mother of the prisoner, a creditable looking woman,
was present, and said that she had not before seen her
daughter for a fortnight. She had suddenly left her home
then, and she had no idea where she had been spending her
time or how she lived.
Prisoner was remanded to be brought up with the other
girl.
