BE TOLLEMACUE.

This bankrupt was described as Ralph William Lionel
Tollemache, formerly of South Witham, Lincolnshire,
BriXto2l, and elsewhere, clerk in holy orders, and now ap-
plied to be released from custody from Whitecross-street
Prison, where there are several detainers lodged against

It is stated that the bankrupt is a near relation to the Earl
of Dysart. He owes £2,200, and attributes his difficulties
to the interference of his uncle, the Hon. F. J. Tollemache,
my. for Grantham, who induced creditors to press and re-
cover their demands, and afterwards to refuse to sign the
deed of arrangement which had been prepared.
There being no opposition to the release the order was
made.

DEEDS OF ARRANGEMENT.

os Honour was occupied for a long time in hearing dis-
cussions under a deed of arrangement. The conflicting
opinions as to the interpetation of the law on the subject
shows the necessity of an amendment. After a very warm
discussion an adjournment took place.

ILLEGAL SUNDAY TRADING.—DOING IT WHOLESALE.
—John Henry Fulling, a German, and landlord of the
White Hart public-house, in Hosper-square, Chamber-
street, Whitechapel, appeared before Mr. Partridge to
answer a summons taken out by Inspector Holloway, of
the K division, which charged him with having his shop
open for the sale of beer and spirits on Sunday, the 27th ult.,
not for the refreshment of travellers, contrary to the statute.
On the morning of the Sunday in question a detective officer
named Dunaway, No. 129 H, was passing the defendant's
house in plain clothes, and saw him letting people out and
others in, and telling them to make haste. Dunaway looked
on, and the defendant, supposing he wished to be a cus-
tomer, said " I cannot let you in, my house is so full." In
consequence of a communication from Dunaway, police-
constable, Patrick Geraghty, No. 20 H, went to the White
Hart, and knocked at the door. " Who ish dat knocking
at mine door," asked the defendant within. " The police
answered Geraghty, " I know your house is full of people,
open the door." There was a rush of people into the cellar
and up-stairs rooms immediately, pots of Leer, gin and rum
were hastily poured into the sink under the beer machine,
and after a delay of two minutes Geraghty was admitted,
and found the defendant " hussing" the people down the
cellar stairs. Geraghty said, " That won't do ; you are
doing it by wholesale;" and went into the cellar, in which
he found 19 men—English, Irish, and German, and two
pots of beer among them. There was another pot of beer
on the cellar stairs. There were other persons in the house,
and indications of business having been transacted by the
appearance of the bar counter,which was covered with beer.
Geraghty was afterwards informed that several of the de-
fendant's customers jumped from the first floor window into
the street when he entered the house, and two or three
of Them were severely injured and taken to the hospital.
Mr, Partridge—What time was this ?
Geraghty—At 12 o'clock at noon, on the 27th of Sep-
tember.

The defendant admitted the offence, and said it should
not happen again.
Mr. Partridge—This is really too bad. An open defiance
of the law.

Inspector Holloway, in answer to the Magistrate, said
the defendant had only kept the White Hart three weeks,
but his predecessors had been fined often for similar offences.
Mr. Partridge said he intended to have fined the defen-
dant L 5. The inspector's statement only saved the de-
fendant from the full penalty. He inflicted a penalty of
40s.
The money was instantly paid.
