COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Nov. 30.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN BE WM. RICHARD CARVER.-JUDGMENT.
The bankrupt was a wine-merchant, of Ingram-court,
Feuchurch-street. His application for a certificate was
heard on Wednesday last, when hidgment was deferred.
His Honour now gave judgment. He said the bank-
rupt's application had been opposed by Mr. Linklater
for the assignees, and also on behalf of Messrs. Usher-
wood, creditors, and the bankrupt was 'supported by
Mr. Lawrance. .He had previously been a; clerk in the
Custom-house, and had since carried-on the litisiness
of a wine-merchant, in Ingram-court, 'Yenchurch-
street. His balance-sheet commenced in September,
1849, and extended to the 25th of June last. It
appeared he had begun without capital, and with a
debit against him of about 1001. He had suspended pay-
ment on the Ist of June last, when his total liabilities
were 9,2201., viz., unsecured debts, 5,4411. ; liabilities,
2,977/. ; secured, 8021. His profits were stated at
3,417/. ; trade expenses, 1,2991. ; personal expenses,
6191. The proceeds of his stock and effects Lad realised
about 2801. ; his other assets were represented in tha
balance-sheet by a large item, stated as doubtful, but
which the Court feared was hopeless, being an amount
of about 6,0001. owing to him by two individuals in the
same trade, 5,5001. of which was due from a person
named Manico, of Malk-lane, who became bankrupt
early in June last, and to whose bankruptcy Carter
ascribed his own ; and the remainder was due from a
person named Ball, who had also become bankrupt after
Carter's bankruptcy.
The Conimissioner was of opiniOn that the conduct of
the bankrupt as a trader was justly censurable, and there- • .
_fore his certificate must be suspended for twelve A-kontio. • -
dating from the 11th of November.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT—Nov. 30.
(Before the Chief Commissioner.)
IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS SHAW.

This insolvent, who was a livery stablekeeper and
horse-dealer, carrying on business in in Osnaburgh-street,
Regent's-park, was opposed by Mr. Sargood, on the part
of three creditors, Captain Yelverton, Mr. Coatsworth,
a job-master ; and another creditor named Paul. Mr.
Cooke supported. _ _

The coinplaint on the part of Captain Yelverton and.
Mr. Coatsworth was, that their debts had been con-
tracted by means of breaches of trust, and on the part of
the other creditor, Mr. Paul, who is butler at Holford
house, Regent's-park, that a debt of 3001. had been in-
curred without reasonable or probable expectation of
payment. It appeared that the insolvent had carried
on business for some time in Osnaburgh-street. He
had been in embarrassments for some time. He had had
numerous transactions with Mr. Coatsworth, and had
joined him in various betting transactions on the turf.
Besides a debt of 501. for money borrowed, he owed Mr.
Coatsworth 481. for the sale of a Morse entrusted to
him. He kept the money for his own purposes ;he had
a good many dead horses and bad luck which prevented
him paying Mr. Coatsworth, and in addition a family of
ten children to support. The business was now carried
on by a person named Brown, who had purchased the
property and allowed his family to remain in possession.
In reference to the complaint of Captain Yelverton, who
was not called as a witness, being, it was stated, with
his regiment), it was elicited that he had entrusted two
horses with the insolvent to sell, which he sold in Fe-
bruary last for 741., and kept the money. After the
sale he wrote to the captain to ascertain whether
he would take 701. for the horses, suppressing from
him that he had already received 741. for them.
He had a set off to the amount of 201. for the keep
of the horses. He owed Paul 3001. for money lent,
for which he gave him a policy of insurance, and the
creditor was obliged to keep up the premiums. In the
course ofthe case Mr. Coatsworth was examined, and ad.
nutted that he had had many betting transactions with the
insolvent. He had sued him because he believed the
money which should have been paid to him had been
spent in paying bets on horse races. The insolvent had
been in custody since July last.
The Chief Commissioner, in giving judgment, ex-
pressed himself of opinion that the debts with Captain
Yelverton and Mr. Coatsworth in the sale of the horses
had been contracted fraudulently by means of breaches
of trust ; and in his opinion, it was not necessary where
the evidence was so clear, that Captain Yelverton should
have attended to have given evidence. Indeed, the in-
solvent had admitted the appropriation of the money,
and had merely urged his necessities as an excuse. His
Honour declared him entitled to the benefit of the act as
to all his other debts, but, at the suit of Captain Yelver-
tan and Mr. Coatsworth, he pronounced a judgment of
seven calendar months from the vesting order, for con.
trading their debts by means of breaches of trust.

THE SARDINIAN SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION.—The Sar-
dinian squadron of evolution, commanded by Count
Pellione de Persano, and consisting of the following vessels,
Governulo steam-frigate, 12 guns, San Giovanni corvette,
30, Aquila, 22, Aurora, 18, Columbo, 16, and Stafello, 10,
has returned to port. The squadron left Genoa on the 9th
of July. When the squrdron entered the Piraeus, Commo-
dore Persano's flag was saluted by all the vessels of war of
different nations at anchor there. At Smyrna, the Austrian
frigate Bellona refused to salute the Sardinian flag, a lack
of politeness which was treated by Count Persano with that
contempt it deserved. The squadron, besides visiting
some of the ports of the Levant, had for object the
execution of a number of varied and complicated ma-
noeuvres. To this intent the commodore ordered that
three days of the week should be employed in carrying
out evolutions, when the most difficult manoeuvres were
executed with the greatest rapidity and precision. The
decks were cleared as for action, and occasionally there
were sham fights, with ball practice. Independently of
the evolutions of the squadron, Count Persano exercised
his crews daily in gunnery, small arms, setting sails,
boarding, and all such naval exercises.
THE EGLINTON LUNATIC ASYLUM, CORK. --This
building was erected from the designs oMr. W. Atkins,
of Cork, under the supervision of the Irish Board of Public
Works, to accommodate 500 patients. The cost will be
nearly 70,000/. The building is divided into four distinct
blocks connected on the ground floor by low corridors.
Three of the blocks, ranged along a steep brow, compose
the front, nearly 1,000 feet in length, and contain the apart.
ments of the patients on three floors, with the resi-
dence of the medical superintendent in the centre. The
fourth block, comprising the kitchen and offices, all on
the ground floor, is placed in the rear of the centre.
The walls are faced outside with a reddish sandstone
rubble, procured near the site, with dressings of grey
limestone, from quarries in the hills on the opposite side
of the river Lee, which have also supplied a marble
of considerable beauty for some of the internal
fittings. The roofs are covered with slate, the spires
with galvanized zinc. The design is in many respects of
unusual character, some would say fantastic. Artificial
ventilation is not stipulated for by the Irish authorities.
The site of the building is a commanding one, on the
steep ascent north of the river Lee. Whatever its de-
fects, it is unquestionably a fine building, its varied out-
line assorting well with the natural features of the scene,
and as a contribution to the architecture of Cork, where
nature has done so much, and art, until recently, 80
little, should be duly valued.—The Builder.
BRUTALITY. —At the Lambeth Police-court, on
Monday, John Hobbs and Samuel Norris, who are wel-
know to the police from their ruffianly conduct, and both
their wives, were charged, the two former with violently
assaulting several policemen, and the two latter with ex-
citing a disorderly crowd of ruffians to assault the con-
stables, and rescue their husbands. The scene of the
prisoners' brutality was in Vauxhall-walk, close to where
one constable had been stoned to death, and several
others had been frequently very seriously raaltreat44.
They were fully committed for trial.
