IMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Baron MARTIN and Mr. Justice CROMPTON.)
The second edition of the calendar, published this
I°4o°l.L'ing, contains the names of 130 prisoners, being
Mere than appeared in the first edition.
4- FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.—A respectably-dressed
I°llng man, named Richard Cross, aged 31, and de-
scribed as a watchmaker, was placed at the bar, charged
With misdemeanour.
Mr. Clarson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
talkie for k
the defence.
f The indictment charged the prisoner with having
,raodulently, obtained goods within three months of his
ustikruptcy, by falsely representing that he was
still carrying on business in the ordinary way, cud of
sound credit.
thikt first the prisoner pleaded not guilty; but, by
advice of his counsel, he withdrew that plea, and
substituted for it the plea of guilty.
I3onxix said his client certainly had no fraudu-
ieat intentions when he obtained the goods. He in-
bleed to have taken them abroad, in the hope of being
to dispose of them to advantage, and to pay his
11,reditor the full amount of their value; but he was
bold
to admit that this intention he wholly with-
from the creditor at the time he obtained the
goods.
L Mr. CLARKSON said this prosecution bad been ordered
r the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, and the offence
o
Which the prisoner was charged was a very serious
°lle. The fraudulent act of bankruptcy of which he
1158 charged consisted of having obtained from a Mr.
%tie"' Marchand 60 gold and 24 silver watches, under
e pretence that he wanted them in the ordinary course
c business; but so far from that being the case, he had
)takeniti his passage for Australia, and sailed the next day
the queen of the South for the Cape, where he was
nK th'Q'rwards apprehended. The prisoner lad carried on
the business of a jeweller in Southampton, and up to the
12th "u of last June he kept his shop open in the usual
thtin,er• The next day, however, it was ascertained
IL"' ne had " bolted," carrying with him every thing
b at the shop contained, besides the watches in question;
ilt hia ereditors, having acme clue to his retreat, dis-
katelled a detective officer after him, and before he had
1'2%1 five hours at the Cape he was in custody on the
Present charge.
B MARTIN' asked if the prperty had been re-

told
ril MARTIN, in passing sentence upon the prisoner,
les tra that many a man had been transported for a
°ffence than this. The prisoner, in point of fact, had
°f the of a robbery in every sense of the term, and
e__Te worst character, but the law only provided a
rhnetshment of two years' imprisonment for the offence.
War Court, however, in the hops that this would be a
`hog to him for the future, would abstain from pass-
fj severest sentence allowed by the law, and there-
(l, the judgment of the Court was that he be imprisoned
esenth Pt to hard labour for the space of 18 calendar
The s.
prisoner was then removed.
n.e'V'Testo AND WOUNDING.—Thomas Henry Knight,
