LAW INTELLIGENCE.---(This Day,)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

:N RE TUCKER.-CRIMINAL PROSECUTION 'UNDER THE

NEW ACT.

This bankrupt was a bill broker in Old Broad-street
and on his applying some time since to pass his last exami-
nation, it was alleged that he had removed property subse-
quently to the adjudication, and with having accounted for his
property by fictitious receipts and payments, which charges,
if proved, would amount to a misdemeanour, under the 159th
sec. of the Act. His honour was of opinion that the opposing
creditors had made out a prima lade case, and directed a
prosecution, but the plaintiff elected to be tried before the
learned Commissioner, and his Honour made an order for a
copy of the charges to be delivered to the bankrupt, at.el
fixed to-day for hearing the case, and it was the first which
has occurred since the new Act was passed. It excited
considerable interest.

Mr. Griffiths said he was instructed that the affidavit had
been filed, and copies were served on tha other side on
Saturday.

His Honour—ls that supported by affidavit ?
Mr. Griffiths said he found it was not, but a clerk was on
the way who would make it if the Court allowed the case to
stand over a short time,
His Honour eaid he would not do so, as the parties ought
to have been prepared with evidence.
Mr. Griffiths said—No doubt the other side has them.
His Honour—Mr: Sergeant Atkinson says he has not,
and I shall therefore adjourn the case—or rather enlarge
the rule—at the cost of tho prosecuting creditor. Ha
thought that these adjournments might work a very great
hardship on a bankrupt, who might be prepared on the day
appointed,mement be butdep deprived
of soma of his
subsequent day he Might at the last
evidence.
Mr, Sergeant Atkinson then asked for the Costs of the
adjournment of the trial.
His Honour said that the cots of the trial would be
reserved.
