LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

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

:N RE TUCKER.-CRIMINAL PROSECUTION UNDER THE

NEW ACT.

This bankrupt was a bill broker in Old Broad-street
and on his applying some time since to pass his last exami-
nation, it was alleged that he had removed property subse-
quently to the adjudication, and with having accounted for his
property by fictitious receipts and payments, which charges,
if proved, would amount to a misdemeanour, under the 159th
sec, of the Act. His honour was of opinion that the opposing
creditors had made out a prima ladle case, and directed a
prosecution, but the plaintiff elected to be tried before the
learned Commissioner, and his Honour made an order for a
copy of the charges to be delivered to the bankrupt, and
fixed to-day for hearing the case, and it was the first which
has occurred since the new Act was passed. It excited
considerable interest.

Mt. Robertson Griffiths now appeared on behalf of the
prosecuting creditors, to support a rule calling on the
bankrupt to show cause why the charges delivered to the
bankrupt should not be amended.

Mr. Sergeant Atkinson (with whom was Mr. Brough)
appeared on behalf of the bankrupt to show cause against
the rule, and submitted that the Court had no power to
amend the charges after they had been delivered, for the
charges amounted to the indictment in criminal cases.

Hie Honour said that whether the court had the power
might be discussed, but he was inclined to think it had ;
but, then, there was a second question, which was, whether
if it had, it was fair and expedient to do so.

Mr. Sergeant Atkinson referred to the Act, and con-
tended that the parties complaining were required to ren-
der a clear statement of the charges, and those rendered
were the most vague and confused.

His Honour asked whether tho application for the rule,
had been supported by affidavits. _

Mr. Sergeant Atkinson said ha had not seen any.
His Honour—Then you ought to have had them. That
is required by the 17th Rule, framed a long time ago by
Lord St. Leonards ; and when the rule to amend was ap-
plied for, he several times called the attention of the
parties to it.

Mr. Griffiths said he was instructed that the affidavit had
been filed, and copies were served on the other side on
Saturday.
His Honour—ls that supported by affidavit ?
Mr. Griffiths said he found it was not, but a clerk was on
the way who would make it if the Court allowed the case to
stand over a short time,
His Honour said he would not do so, as the parties ought
have been prepared with evidence.
Mr. Griffiths said—ti o doubt the other side has them.

His lionout—Mr. Sergeant Atkinson says he has not,
and I shall therefore adjourn the case --or rather enlarge
the rule—at the cost of the prosecuting creditor. He
thought that these adjournments might work a very great
hardship on a bankrupt,
who might be prepared on the day
appointed, but on a subsequent day he might at the last
moment be deprived of some of his evidence.
Mr. Sergeant Atkinson then asked fer the costs of the
adjournment of the trial.
His Honour said that the costs of the trial would be
reserved.
