LAW INTELLIGENCE,--This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
RE HUSSELL.

This bankrupt was described as of G: swell street and
elsewhere, hair-dresser, and this was a meeting for last exa-
mination.

The banitrupt was opposed on behalf of several creditors,
hut the principal point was that he had given a bill of sale
over his property for £39, 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, Basingb.all.street, for the bankrupt, put
a few questions, and elicited that two previous bills had
been given to the same party, but the moneys advanced had
been paid off, and the one in question was a mere renewal.

His ILnour said the bankrupt was not justifi3d in acting
as he had, r::ncl the case must be adj,urned for three months
to sea what position he would b 3 in to offer terms to his
creditors.

RT BOUCICAULT.

This bankrupt was formerly less,.3 of Drury-lane Theatre,
and this was an adjourned dividend meeting.
A proof was tendered on behalf of Messrs. Alcxander 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. Linklater opposed, but after some discussion the
proof was admitted.
There were a few other proofs, but no dividend war
declared.

ENARAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS ...kT WHITFIELD CHA-
PEL BURIAL GROUND, TOTTENIIAM-CO URT -ROAD. --
DESTROYING A FAMILY GRAVE,-Mr, Henry Oiiver
Nodes, of No. 1, Rosebery Villas, Tutfnell•park West-,
waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt this moraing, and said he had
to ask his worship for summarises against a builder namea
Richards and his foreman, named Wilkes, under the Mali
cious Injuries to Property Act (21 and 25 Vict., cap. 97,
sec. 52), for unlawfully removing and injuring a gravestone
in the Tottenham-court-road Chapel batial•groun{l, 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
co 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 honesty, or in other words meesm and (cum ; 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 relight 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 4500 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 under 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 employees, the purchasers. He (Mr, Nodes)
wished further to state that his (Mr. Tyrwhitt's) colleague
had some time since hal a case bJorc 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 sormsthing like £3O.

Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the 8111=0118e; to issue.

WES FMINSTER.

A VERY AWKWARD AFFAlR.—Edward James Butler, a
man in the employment of Mr. Hatt, cow keeper and dairy-
man, of 15, Brewer-street, Pimlico, was charged with
stealing a gallon of milk, and John Cole, coffeehouse
keeper, Upper Eaton-street, Pimlico, was charged with
feloniously receiving it.
Sergeant Parkins, 8 B, said that the prosecutor had been
to the court but had gone away. The police, however, were
acquainted wi;h tho details of the case.
Mr. Solfe said he w uld hear them.
Sergeant Parkins said that from information received he
spoke to Mr. Batt, and found that there was something
going on wrong. At a quarter to 5 o'clock this morning
Butler came out of Hates yard with a half gallon Measure
of milk in his hand, and proceeded to Cole's coffesAop,
where he went into the private bar part, and Cole took
the milk of him and placed it on a shelf, and then
went into a private parlour, from whenoo he
returned in two or three minutes and passed some-
thing to Butler. The latter, after placing his hand
under his smack, put down a half-gallon battle of warm
milk at Cole's feet. Mr. Cole then said to witness, who had
followed Butler into the shop, " What are you going to
have," when witness said he should take Butler for stealing
and Cole for receiving the milk. Neither of them made any
reply. Hatt came to the station and signed the sheet
against the prisoners.
Butler said that he merely took sone milk to Mr. Cole,
which had been ordered, and knew nothing about stealing

Cole said he had dealt with Mr. Hatt for many years, and
had four quarts of milk in the morning and six in the after-
noon. Whenever he was becoming short of milk, some of
his people ran to Mr. Hatt's and ordered it, and that was
the case this morning. To show that nothing could have
been passed by him to ths other prisoner, only twoponce was
found upon the latter.
_ _

Mr. Selfe said, that for the interest of justice, as well as
for prisoners' own sakes, he would have Mr. Hatt in at-
teadance, and would grant a summons for his attendance
forthwith, He would not restrain the liberty of the ac-
cused in the meantime, who were free, but he would re-
commend them not to leave the court until the matter was
determined.

Election of an Alderman,
-

A wardmote of the inhabitants of the ward of
Bassishaw was held yesterday afternoon in the ves-
try room of the parish of St. Michael, Bassishaw,
" for the election of a fit and able person to be Alder-
man of the said ward, in the room and stead of
Edward Conder, Esq., who held such office of Alder-
man, but who has resigned the same."

The proceedings having been duly opened by the
Lord Mayor,

Mr. G. KENDALL proposed David H. Stone, Mg.,
to be the alderman of the ward. He said he bad
great pleasure in doing so, for that gentleman was
one of themselves, being a freeholder of property in
the ward, and besides being a man of wealth, and
having plenty of time to discharge the important
duties of, the office, he also possessed considerable
talent, and was in every way qualified for the office.
(Cheers.)

Mr. DREW WOOD seconded the nomination.

There being no other nomination, the name of
Mr. Stone was pat to the meeting, and he was de-
clared to be duly elected.
Mr. STONE briefly returned thanks.

Upon the motion of Deputy FULLER, a unani-
mous resolution of thanks was accorded to the late
alderman (who retired in consequence of ill health),
and afterwards a complimentary vote of thanks was
passed to the Lord Mayor for presiding, and the
meeting separated.

THE LEOMINSTER MURDER.—At the Hereford-
shire Assizes, yesterday, Watkins, the man charged with
the murder of his wife at Leominster, pleaded guilty. The
plea was, however, withdrawn, on the reeonemendation of
the judge, and the trial was postponed.
THE WORKING MAN'S OWN CLUB.—In 1855
club was established at Littlemore, near Oxford,
by the Rev, T. W. Huntingford, the government of which,
as that gentleman says in an account he has written of its
operations, was "oligarchical, with a dash of despotism."
This is vary often the case in small country towns and vit.
lages, where working mon, conscious of their want of ex-
perience in business affairs, are glad to place themselves
under the guidance of the local clergyman or squire. In
some places specific religious opinions are required as an
indispensable o,mdition of membership. But in others the
artisans and labcdrers haets taken the matter into i lair own
hands with admirable effect. A remarkable instance or iris
is presented by the club recently inaugurated and now
'flourishing at Wednesbury, a little town in the iron manu-
facturing districts of ataffordehire. The institution was
first pie/Soma at the commencement of last year; but the
gentlemen ditho !nude the suggestion, or who promised to
patronise it, slumbered over the Work, and the mechanics,
getting tired of waiting, set their shoulders to the wheel,
rented a house on their own respensibility,furnished it with
everything fiedeseety for such an undertaking, and obtained
so many members that, ulthottgh the rooms were only
opened on the 30th May,1863, the club has for some months
past been entirely self-sUpporting, with tic• ether receipts
than the subscriptions of its members and the sale of provi-
sions within its stalls. The subscriptions are 2d a vreek and
2s a quarter, the honorafy Members giving a yearly dona-
tion of a guinea. The number of Members at the commence-
ment was 100, but they increased so rapidly that it was soon
found tieceesary to take large and better premises, and the
club now rents the old Town Hall at £45 per annum, Judg-
ing from the information we possess, we should say that a
more perfect specimen of the genuine Working Men's Club
cannot be found anywhere. The committee and all the
governing officers belong to the industrial classes ; mem-
bers and subscriptions are canvassed for every Monday
morning at the factories, and the rent of the building is
guaranteed by the men themselves.—Dickenf s "All the
Year Round."

PRIZE DESIGNS..-•••" As affording the most striking con-
trast, Mr. Benson shows with these a fresh exhibition of
modern watches, with cases made from prize designs at the
South Kensington Museum, some of which are fine specimens
of engraving."—Times, Sept. 13, 1862. Chronometer, duplex,
lever, horizontal, repeaters, centre seconds, keyless, split
seconds, and every description of watch, adapted to all cli-
mates. Benson's illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by
post for two stamps) contains a short history of watchmak-
ing, with prices, from 3to 200 guineas each. It serves as a

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 Blondlu,
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
on Flying Fish, Soaptone, Biondella, Zora, and Aurora
for Earl Spencer's Plate, but the transactions were to
nominal amounts only. For the City and Suburban,
Veterinaran clos,;(1 a better favourite than Liston, 100 to
7 being accepted about the former, while 15 to 1 was
offered against "the comedian." The business done in
connection with the Chester Cup was of an insignificant
character, Greenland and Oldminster being the only horse
backed, although 25 to 1 would have been taken about
Accident. Sixteen "ponies" were wanted cgainst Copen-
hagen for the Two Thousand Guineas ; and, after X2OO 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. I'Anson's
cult. Closing prices :
