is of extensive application. The present chapter
refers to the mental workers whose tasks are some-
times the heaviest and most exhausting. Among
the other subjects discussed in this part are
"Middle Class Education," " The Registration of
the Insane," and " Rough Diamonds," a most
interesting paper, telling the fortunes of the ragged
school movement. Altogether this serial devotes
itself to the social wants of the age, and, as such,
commends itself to the attention of all earnest and
thoughtful readers.

The Journal of Agriculture. No. 84. Blackwood.

This quarterly goes on with its accustomed
ability, and clearly indicates the rapid advance of
our age in agricultural science. One very important
subject is treated of in the Cultivation of Flax,
which has now in a measure to take the place of
cotton. The report of the ►ransactions of the
Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland is
as usual given very fully, and intelligent farmers
will derive much practical advantage from a con-
sideration of the subjects discussed.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Coramisaioner Fane.)
IN RE T. S. CANS.

This bankrupt was described as of Argyll-square, St.
Pancras, late of St. George's-terrace, Hyde- park, Gent.,
having a residence at Rosburn Manor, Cork, and this was
a meeting for last examination and discharge. .

The accounts have not been filed, but froni a preliminary

statement by Mr. Hutton it appears that the debts due to
creditors unsecured amount to £12,763 15s 2d ; creditors
holding security, £59,374—the property held as security
being the Audley estates, in Schule, in the county of Cork,
valued in 1834 by eminent engineers and surveyors at
£150.000. There are also liabilites in respect of shares in
the Curragh Mining Company, of which bankrupt was a
director; the whole of the shares had been paid up by the
shareholders.

Mr. Harrison appeared for the assignees ; Mr. H. Link-
later and Mr, Brough for the creditors ; and Mr. Lawrence
for the bankrupt.

Mr. Lawrence said that the bankrupt had been largely
engaged in mining operations, and was desirous of furnish-
ing accounts detailing his tram actions, but they were of
such a voluminous and intricate nature that he had not
been able to complete them. He (Mr. Lawrence), there-
fore, asked for an adjournment for two months to enable
him to do so.

Mr. Linklater did not object to the adjournment, but
thought it should be at the bankrupt's expense.
Mr. Brough assented to the adjournment, and said that,
considering tho nature of the accounts, and that the bank-
rupt had been very diligently engaged with Mr. Hutton,
the accountant, his (Mr. Brough's) clients did not desil •
that any costs should be imposed.

An adjournment was then taken for two months without
costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH •STREET.

ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE THE MAGISTRATE —WILFUL
DAMAGE.—John Hussey, described as a baker, was charged
before Mr Tyrwhitt with wilfully breaking two panes of
glass, the property of Mr John Bowman Fletcher, surgeon
dentist, 17, New Burlington-street.

On the prisoner being brought into court by Barnes, the
gaoler, he appeared to ascend the steps of the dock with the
greatest difficulty, owing, as he stated, to his extreme suf-
fering from a bad leg. He was therefore accommodated
with a seat in the dock,

Mr Fletcher said that on the previous evening, on his
servant entering the house, the prisoner attempted to force
his way in, and it was only by the assistance of another per-
son she was enabled to close the door. The prisoner then
threw two stones at the windows with such force that be-
sides breaking two panes of glass a piece of the shutter was
broken off.

Prisoner said he asked for water to bathe his leg, and as
h• could not get it he was vexed and broke the window. He
had tried to get into hospitals, but could not. (The prisoner
appeared to be suffering intensely.)
Mr. Fletcher said that if he had known the prisoner
wanted water he should have been only too happy to have
given it to him.

Sergeant Bradley said the prisoner said he broke the
windows because ho was refused water.

Mr, Fletoher said he did not wish to g' on with the case
his worship would discharge the prisoner.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner seemed to be suffering,
but he could not discharge persons when they were
brought before him for such offences. He could not hold
out premiums to persons who went about dealing with
other persons' property in such a way. The prisoner must
pay the datnege, but he would not inflict a fine.
Subsequently Barnes reported to Mr. Tyrwhitt that ho
believed the prisoner was a gross hypocrite ; for although.
when in the court, he pretended to be scarcely able to walk,
and to be in a state of great suffering, on leaving it he be-
came quite well and walked as well as he (Barnes) could.
It was intended that the prisoner should be discharged at
5 o'clock, but after Mr. Tyrwhitt had heard the gaoler, he
committed the prisoner for a week in default,
Benjamin Wyld, a fruiterer, in Shepherd's-market, was
charged with disorderly conduct in Shepherd's-market.
The defendant was found by Luke Jeffrey, 49 C, creating
a great disturbance in Shepherd's-market at a late hour last
night. The constable finding the defendant very drunk,
and as he refused to leave, was obliged io get assistance and
take him to Vine. street. Fined 55 or 7 days.
IMPUDENT ROBBERT.—James Cullen and John Williams
alias Connolly were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with
stealing a truck load of slates the property of Mr John
Kirk, builder. Woolwich.
It appears that some building operations are going on at
the house of Mr States, 12, Princes-street, Hanover-square,
and about eight the previous night the prisoners were seen
by John Henney, servant to Mr States, to draw up
a truck to the front of the building. Cullen then
held the truck, while Williams, in the most c)ol and
workmanlike manner fill, ,d the truck with slate.
The prisoners then made off with the property, but were
followed by llenney and given into custody of Sergeant
Edwards, 2C. The prisoner Williams then told the ser-
geant that he had been sent to fetch the elates away by a
rawhatio namedtold Dismore,

house. On inquiry Sergeant Edwards ascertained that
there was no person of the name of Dismore living where
Williams stated, that Cullen had borrowed the truck of a
person, stating that he was goingto remove some goods,
and that other statements the prisoners had made were
false
The
slates were identified by Mr. Baker, foreman to Mr.
Kirk, as the property of his employer.
Cullen said that all he knew of the affair was that ho was
employed by Williams.
Williams was very anxious that the magistrate should
settle the matter, and said lie Was guilty, but Cullen said
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not think it was the first ease
he was not guilty.
of the kind that Williams had been engaged in, and com-
mitted the prisoners for trial.
