LAW INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the only Commissioner,
and disposed of a short list of cases, principally releases.

This bankrupt had been a baker in Wood-street, St.
Luke's, and applied for his release.
His Honour said it appeared the bankrupt had been
bankrupt before, and asked whether he had obtained his
discharge under that bankruptcy ?

Plaintiff said he had not.
His Honour—Then I cannot interfere—you must get rid
of your first bankruptcy before I can release you.

This bankrupt was a warehouseman in the city, and his
release was opposed on the ground that he was connected
with a person named Edwards, and gave him a recommen-
dation, on which he obtained goods, which soon afterwards
found their way to Barton's sale rooms.

His Honour said he would not interfere until after the
meeting for choice of assignees. •

TRE PEERMAHOMED.

This bankrupt carried on business in King William-,
street, City; Liverpool, and Bombay, and this was a meet-
ing for choice of assignees.
The bankrupt was a member of a large firm carrying on
the principal business at Liverpool and Bombay. He came
before the Court on his own petition in respect of private
debts to a small amount, £3BB, but his liabilities in respect
of the firm are stated at £50,000, against which are heavy
consignments.

Mr. Lopez, merchant, Bucklersbury, was appointed as•
signee, and Mr. Chidley, Old .jewry, solicitor to the estate,
The bankrupt is in Whitecross-street prison, and did not
apply for his release.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

THE C wELF-ACCUSED MURDERER OF EXMA JACKSON,—
Inspector Williamson, of the detective police, attended
before Mr. Vaughan this morning, and reported to his
worship that the man Edward Collins, who had given him-
self up as the murderer of Emma Jackson, in George-street,
some time ago, was still an inmate of St. Giles's workhouse.
He had been examined by the medical officer, and although
that gentleman felt little difficulty in pronouncing him a
lunatic, yet he had informed him (Inspector Williamson)
that he should like to have the man a short time longer
under his observation before he pronounced a decided
opinion. He (Inspector Williamson) had taken the girt
who admitted the man and ill-fated woman into the
brothel on the morning of the murder to see the person
who had accused himself of the crime, and she in the
most positive manner had stated he was not the person. She
said she was certain that he was not, because Collins (the
man in custody) was a very lame man, and the person ehe
let into the house on the morning of the murder was not.
Mr. Vaughan asked whether there were not any other
persons who could rpeak to the appearance of the real
murderer.

Inspector Williamson replied in the affirmative.

Mr. Vaughan said it would be as well that those parties
should see the man, and also if there was anything found
on the prisoner which would indicate who and what he was,
it had better be acted upon, because it would not be safe to
discharge such a person without he had some parties to
take charge of him.
Inspector Williamson said in a day or two he would
have the friends of the prisoner in attendance, and until
then he would leave the man in the care of the surgeon of
the workhouse. Although, from what he had already heard
from that gentleman, there appeared to be not the slightest
doubt the prisoner was a lunatic, he had already made some
reference to an asylum in which he had been an inmate
some time ago.
