LAWEINTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)

IN RE STENNETT-A MAN TO WHOM " IMPRISONMENT HAS

IN"O TERRORS,"
This was an application for release from custody, sup.
ported by Mr. Branwell,

Mr, E. Reed opposed on the part of Mr. Farness, the
detaining creditor, and said it was a case of peculiar aggra-
vation. Mr. Furness was the landlord of some premises
occupied by the bankrupt at a rent of £5O per annum, but
the bankrupt refused to pay, and Furness brought an
action, but offered to forgive the rent if the bankrupt
would give up possession. This he refused to do, and he
was arrested and sent to prison in 1863. It then became
necessary to bring an action of ejectment, which he even
then defended, and put Furniss to the further amount of
£25, and it was only now that the landlord obtained pos-
session in course of law. To show the nature of the aggra-
vation, as when the bankrupt was in prison, and was again
applied to, he replied, "you are mistaken—imprisonment
has no terrors for me, and I shall not give up possession
unless I receive compensation." Under these circumstances
he (Mr. Reed) asked his honour not to grant the release
until the bankrupt came up to apply for his discharge.
His Honour said he would not interfere at present.
IN RE MOSS.

This bankrupt was a solicitor, and applied for his release
from custody. He was opposed by Mr Griffiths, on behalf
of a Mr M'Pherson on the ground that whilst acting as his
solicitor, although he had not got his certificate, he had re-
ceived £2OO on account of Mr M'Pherson, for which he had
not duly accounted, and he had recently defended an action
in respect of a claim for that sum.
The bankrupt said that he had paid £5O and other sums
to ➢ir M'Pherson, and that there was a large amount due
to him for costs.

His Honour thought it a case of vexatious defence, and
refused to grant the release for one month from this day.

IN RE JACKSON.

This bankrupt was described as a commission agent, of
Victoria Cottage, Notting-hill, and this was a meeting for
last examination and discharge, which had been adjourned
to this day for the bankrupt to arrange with his creditors,
but which he now stated he had not been able to do, as ho
had not obtained a settlement of a claim on the Mexican
Government. The debts are about £758—no assets, the
furniture having been seized for rent.

The bankrupt passed and obtained his discharge.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MANSION HOUSE.

THZ ALLEGED EumEZZLEMENT OE £4,000 --Robert
Boyle Miller, a captain in the merchant service, was'placed
at the bar this morning for the purpose of completing the
evidence given against him on the above charge.

The witnesses who gave their evidence yesterday having
igned their deposit ions, _

Charles Carlisle, Inspector of the Liverpool Detective
Police, said—l have been searching for the prisoner for six
days, on a charge of embezzling 4000, the property of
Messrs. Ryland, of Liverpool, I found he had been to
Stockton, and found he had deposited nearly 4000 in two
of the banks there, which I stopped. I also stopped six
boxes of luggage and a writing-case, marked " J. Wilson"
outside, but " Captain Miller" inside,

Alderman Carden—l suppose you feel quite capable of
conveying the prisoner safely to Liverpool P
Witness—Oh, yes, I have taken five murderers, and I'm
not afraid of him.

Alderman Carden—l hope you'll not lose sight of him,
because he is a very clever fellow, you know.
Witness--I'll not lose sight of him, your worship, de-
pend upon it.

Packman, the city detective, said application had been
made to him to deliver up the papers and documents he had
found on the prisoner.

Carlisle said it had been arranged by the banking autho-
rities to send £4,000 to Liverpool if the bills were returned,
and thus save the trouble of the Bank clerks coming to
Liverpool,
Alderman Carden thought the documents had better re-
main in the hands of the City police. They would have,
of course, to attend the trial, and then they would produce
the papers.
The depositions were then signed, and the prisoner was
handed over to the officer for removal to Liverpool.
CHARGE OP ROBBERY BY A PORTER.—Richard Hald-
way, porter, was placed at the bar, on remand, charged
with stealing a quantity of silk, the property of his em-
ployers, Messrs. Thompson and Co., warehousemen, City.
From the evidence it appeared that from time to time
pieces of silk have disappeared from the warehouse of
Messrs. Thompson. In the afternoon of the 16th, prisoner
was seen to come down stairs from the silk room with a
paper parcel under his arm. He left the premises, but in a
short time after the silk was missed, and then a lad in the
warehouse said he had seen the prisoner go out with a
a roll of silk in his possession. Prisoner did not come to
his employment as usual the next day, but when he arrived
on Wednesday morning he was questioned concerning the
parcel seen in his possession. He denied all knowledge of
the property. The lad, however, was positive he had seen
the prisoner go out with the silk. He was given iato cus•
tot,. The property had not been recovered.
Alderman Allen committed the prisoner for trial.
