BOW-STREET.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE JOHN LEE SCOTT.
In this case his Honour passed the bankrupt's exami-
nation, and granted the order of discharge, but that deci-
sion was appealed against, and the Lord Chancellor had
directed that the matter should be referred back to the
learned Commissioner for further evidence.
Mr. Griffiths complained that the opposing creditor had
not complied with the order of the Lord Chancellor to
brine the matter to issue without delay, that the matter
might be decided before the vacation, but the ord r had
not been drawn up, and consequently the case was not
in his Honour's paper of business for the day, but the
matter stood in the Lord Chancellor's list for the day.
The bankrupt had volunteered to submit to any further
examination, however searching, and to give every ixpla-
nation ; it was therefore a very la,,rd case that he should
be prejudiced by the lathes of the opposing creditor.
Mr. E. C Lewis protested against the irregularity of
taking matters not in the list before the business of the
day. It was a matter of constant occurrence, and led to
great incenvenieuce. He was engaged in a cause from 11
o'clock, and it was now 12, and he must ask the Court
to proceed with the business on the list. His case had been
adjourned till this day.
His Honour said he did not see how he could proceed at
all. He had decided on the case, as he was led to believe,
on its merits. He was now told that his decision had been
I appealed against, but he had nothing before him to show

Ax husx Row,—Daniel Smith, John Griffin, and Ellen
Barber were placed before Mr. Hall, charged with assault-
ing the police.
Police•constable 112 F said ho was on duty last evening,
near Parker-street, Drury-lane, when his attention was
attracted by the female prisoner, who, being intoxicated,
was dancing and singing and making a great disturbance.
He went up to her to endeavour to persuade her to go
home, when she commenced calling him anything but
proper names, and as he was about to remove her from the
place she commenced fighting, and, on closing with him,
she Lit him in the hand and on the knee. Griffin seeing
the woman in custody rushed to the spot, and with a stick,
which he held iu his hand, beat nim so about the head that
he thought his life was in danger. He then for a short
time seized hold of b ,th prisoners, when Smith came
forward and attempted to rescue them. Some other con-
stables fortunately c,me up, and all three prisoners were
conveyed to the station.
The nmsiable's evidence having been corroborated,
Mr. Hall asked the female what she had to say to the

charge ?
Barber—Say to it. Why, that it's all false, and he knows
it. Drunk indeed I Why, how could I get drunk when I
hadn't anything to eat all day? (Laughter.) I've got a
baby, and it's not likely I should get drunk.
Mr, Hall—Then you say you were sober? Well, that
only makes the matter worse.
Barber- —Oh, does it I (Laughter.) Then all I've got to
say is, that I hadn't anything to eat, and having a baby—
(laughter)—l don't think the drop o' Veer I took could hive
taken effect of me.
Mr. Hall—Weli, Smith, what have you to say to the

that.
Mr. Griffiths said there was no doubt of the fact, but the
question was, who was to draw up the order. His Honour's
decision was of vital importance, so that, if possible, it might
be conveyed to the Lord Chancellor before his Lordship
rose to-day.
His Honour said he would not allow applications to in-
terfere with the regular course of the business of the day.
but after the list of the day had been gone through, he
would hear any arguments on either side.

charge?
Smith—l wasn't in the street at all, so I couldn't have
anything to do with it. (Laughter.)
Mr. fiall—Ai.d I suppose, Griffin, you were not there

Either ?
Griffin—That's it, your whorship, I wasn't. (Laughter.)
Mr. Hall—Then it's all a mistake of the policeman's, he
was not struck at all, and the marks about his face prove
it ? (Laughter.)
Griffin—Well, I wasn't in the mess. I never hit him
with a stick. How am Ito tell how he got the marks on
his face ? . _ _

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to•day was fairly supplied with beasts in
about average condition. All breeds met a dull inquiry;
nevertheless, very little charge took place in prices com-
pared with Monday. The best Scots realised 4s. 10d. per
Blbs. The show of sheep was moderately good, and the
mutton trade ruled somewhat heavy, at barely previous
rates. The extreme value of the best Downs wAs 55. per
Blbs. Lambs were very inactive at a decline in vaißa of
4d. per Blbs. The quotations ranged from ss, to Bs. per
Blbs. Calves, the supply of which was good, moved off
slowly at late currencies. Pigs and mulch cowo were very

Barber—Well, nothing but a drop of beer, and I suppose
the weather had some effect on it.. (Laughter.)
Mr. Hall—lt is very cowardly for three people to attack
one man, and I shall fine you, Barber, 20s. or 21 days' im•
prisonment, you, Griffin, to a month's imprisonment, and
you, Smith, to a fine of 30s. or 15 days' imprisonment.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE Or HORSE-STEALING AGAINST A BOY,—
Charley Edwin Fennell, a respectable-looking boy, 14 years
of age, and living at 17, BlomfiAd-terrace, Paddington,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a horse of
the value of £lOO, the property of Mr. Henderson, job-
master, of the Grosvenor Riding School, South-street, Park-
lane.
Robert Dilke, foreman to Mr. Henderson, said that on
Monday morning the prisoner came to the stables and said
he wanted two saddle horses—one for himself and one for
his brother—to go to the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, and
that they were to be sent to 17, Blomfield-terrace, Padding-
ton, at 10 o'clock, where his father resides. He returned,
however; about 9 o'clock, and mounted one of the horses,
and wanted to take the other with him, but he (witness) re-
fused to let him have it, and sent a man with him. The
prisoner took the man to the Strand on some excuse, and
told him to go back and tell him (witness) that he would
ride home one horse himself, but before doing so he changed
horses, taking the most valuable one. He, however, never
came back with the horse.
