LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
RE RUSRELL.

This bankrupt was described as of Geswell-street and
elsewhere, hair-dresser, and thiswas a meeting for last exa-
mination.

The bankrupt was opposed on behalf of several creditors,
but the principal point was that he had given a bill of sale
over his property for S 9, money lent, but he had neither
paid principal or interest, and the bill was put in force on
the same day that he petitioned the Court.

Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, for the bankrupt, put
a few questions, and elicited that two previous bills had
been given to the same party, but the tnoneys.advanced had
been paid off, and the one in question was a mere renewal.
His Honour said the bankrupt was not justified in acting
as he had, and the case must be adjourned for three months
to see what position he would b 3 in to offer terms to his
creditors.

(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
RE EOLTCICAULT.

This bankrupt was formerly lessee of Drat y-lane Theatre,
and this was an adjourned dividend meeting.
A proof was tendered on behalf of Messrs. Alexander and
Co. for the difference in value of 150 shares in the New
Theatre Company which he had agreed to take up but failed
to do, and on the resale there was a loss of £420, and it was
now sought to prove for that amount.
Mr. Liuklater opposed, but after some discussion the
proof was admitted.
There were a few other proofs, but no dividend was
declared.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

NIARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXIRAORDINA.RY PROCEEDINGS AT WHITFIELD CHA-
PEL BURIAL- GROUND, TOTTENHAM-CO URT -ROAD. -
DESTROYING A FAMILY GRAVE.-Mr. Henry Oliver
Nodes, of No. 1, Rosebery Villas, Tuffnell•park West,
waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt this morning, and said he had
to ask his worship for summonses against a builder named
Richards and his foreman, named Wilkes, under the Mali
cious Injuries to Property' Act (21 and 25 Viet., cap. 97,
sec. 52), for unlawfully removing and injuring a gravestone
in the Tottenham-court-road Chapel barial.ground, his
property, and thereby destroying all identity of a family
vault, also his property. Oa Wednesday, June 11, 1862,
at the Auction Mart, London, the Congregational Chapel
Building Society purchased the chapel known as Whit-
field's Chapel, in Tottenham-court-road, and part of the
burial-ground adjoining, known as the paved part, in which
there were many private graves and vaults, the property of
several parties respectively, and the whole was sold subject
i;o the rights of all persons who had interred bodies in the
burial•ground. It was hoped that a body of professing
Christians especially would have adhered strictly to the
rules of hmesty, or in other words mum. and Mon ; but
their employes, Richards and Wilkes, under their instruc-
tions, a few days ago, ruthlessly and lawlessly rooted up
all the grave stones, for the purpose he (Mr. Nodes)
thought, it might be fairly presumed, of destroying all iden-
tity of the vaults. He (Mr. Nodes) might also state that
but for the restrictions of the conditions of sale
as to private rights, the property which was sold for
about £4,500 would have fetched at least £15,000, it being
freehold, and in a most valuable locality. The persons he
applied for the summonses against stated that they were
acting wader the orders of Mr. Tarring, an architect, and
a committee, and tauntingly laughed at anything like re-
monstrance, and refuse to restore the grave stones to their
original sites, stating that all the stones were the property
of their employers, the purchasers, He (Mr. Nodes)
wished further to state that his (Mr. Tyrwhitt's) colleague
had some time since hal a case before him respecting the
same burial ground, and the Court had put a stop to the
proceedings of a Mr. Jacobson, who had purchased another
part of the burial ground.

Mr. Tyrwhitt having referred to the act, said it was
material that such a matter should not be passed over.
Mr. Nodes said his parents were interred in the grave,
and he therefore felt naturally annoyed at what had been
done; besides the grave cost sometking like £3O.
Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the summonses to issue.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

BETTING AT MANCHESfER-TUESDIY,

Speculation this day at our Subscription Rooms assumed
an active aspect. Gardener, Wingrave, Costa, Gibraltar,
and Blondin were each in force for the Northamptonshire
Stakes, particularly Wingrave, Gibraltar, and. Blondiu,
who were freely backed. Blithfield remained friendless,
and Lioness received her quietus, offers of 100 to 1 eliciting
no response from backers. A few investments were made
en Flying Fish, Soaptone, Biondella, Z ora, and Aurora
for Earl Spencer's Plate, but the transactions were to
nominal accounts only. For the City and Suburban,
Veterinarian closed a better favourite than Liston, 100 to
7 beirc,.. accepted about the former, while 15 to 1 was
offered against " the comedian." Tho business done in
connection wirla the Chester Cup was of an insignificant
character, Greenland and Oldminster lasing the only horse
backed, although 25 to 1 would hava been taken about
Accident. Sixteen "ponies" were wanted against Copen-
hagen for the Two Thousand Guineas ; and, after £2OO had
been put on Blair Athol for the Derby at 20 to 1, a clever
operator laid 1,000 to 45 three times against Mr. FAnsou's
cult, Closing prices :
