the 77th to allow them to coma to his room. He did
not let the room, but lent it to the officers. He saw
seven or eight officers there, and he also saw Chapple
there, but he did not see them playing at roulette.
Mr. Collier—Did you see a roulette table in the room?
Witness—l believe lam not bound to answer the
question.

- Mr. Collier—Do you refuse?
Witness—Yes, I do refuse.
His Lordship said he thought the witness was entitled
to refuse to answer, upon the ground that it might tend
to criminate himself.

The case was heard down to this point on Friday,
when it was adjourned ; and this morning Mr. Hex was
again called into the box, and he stated that the officers
were in his room for three or four hours, and that he
went into the room once or twice during the time
There were some fowls, and ham, and tongue, as d
things of that sort there, and also some champagne and
brandy and water.

To Mr. Justice Cresswell—He should say Lieutenant
Ronalds was about 25 or 26 years of age.
Mr. Chambers said his client had promised to be in
court by half-past nine o'clock, in order to be examined;
but it was now past ten, and he had not arrived.
Mr. Justice Cresswell said he would wait long enough,
to see whether he really intended to come or not.
The business of the Court was accordingly suspended
until half-past ten, but the defendant did not mall his
appearance, and a verdict was consequently taken for
the plaintiff for the amount of the bill and interest,
2531. 13s. 6d.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Nov. 20.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE J. STREETER.
This was the certificate meeting the bankrupt was a
corn merchant at Brighton.
It appeared from the report of the official assignee that
the bankrupt was a corn and coal merchant at Brighton,
where he had carried on business twenty-eight years.
He was also in partnership with two other persons,
under the firm of John Ingledon and Co., in a corn-
mill, and it is in respect of a liability incurred on
account of that partnership, and which he would not pay
to the detriment of his own creditors, that he preferred
to become a bankrupt. He now owes to unsecured
creditors 2,7361., and on partnership liabilities
1,6501. He also owes, to a creditor holding secu-
rity 1,3261., such security being a mortgage on
his shop premises at Brighton, dated in 1848,
and which have realised on sale under the bankruptcy
2,070/., thus leaving a
.considerable surplus to the
estate. His assets consist of debts, 1,147, and property
6691. and the surplus from the mortgaged property
7301., from which amounts 2,600/. has been received.
His profits during two years, over which the balance-
sheet extends, have been 2,9751., while his trade ex-
penses have been 1,664/. and his losses 5031., the
greater part of which have arisen from sales under the
bankruptcy. His personal expenses have been 1,2201.,
or at the rate of 6001. a year. The bankrupt had kept
ledger and cash book with great regularity. The official
assignee consider it further his duty to report that the
conduct of the bankrupt, both before and after the
bankruptcy, as far as it has come under the official as-
signee, has been blameless.

His Honour said he was happy to say that the bank-
rupt would leave the Court without the slightest impu-
tation upon his character. His Honour proceeded to
speak of the bankrupt's conduct in high terms, and con-
cluded by granting an immediate certificate of the first
class.
