LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Yule.)
IN RE THOMAS.-INSOLVENT MOTION.

In this cat), which was an old insolvency, Mr. Denny
applied under the Act 1 and 2 Viet., c. no, s. 68, calling
upon the provisional assignee of the Court of Insolvency to
join in the conveyance of the equity of redemption of cer-
tain property mortgaged by the insolvent, the property not
being of the value of the mortgage money, and therefore
the equity of redemption was of no value to the creditors,
although, if resolved in, the mortgagee would enhance the
value of the security. The usual notice having been
given to the creditors, and the provisional assignee not
opposing, the order was made.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROTJGH • STREET.
STABBING.—COMMITTAL FOR TRIAL,—Harry Elcho, of
12, Craven- terrace, Bayswater, described as a traveller, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stabbing a young man
named George Francis, a butler, living at 2, Chapel-place,
Berkeley-square.
Inspector Hubbard, of the E division, attended to watch
the case.

The prosecutor, who, as well as the prisoner. is a young
man of respectable appearance, said—The prisoner is an
acquaintance of mine. This morning about four o'clock I
accompanied him to a friend's at 76, Charlotte-street,
Fitzroy-square. While there a quarrel took place between
us, the prisoner saying that 1 had said something against
him, which was not true. There was a souffle between ut4,
and I felt myself stabbed in the upper part of my arm, and
I believe prisoner had a knife. There was only ono other
person besides the prisoner and myself present (Mrs.
Graham). On finding myself stabbed I ran downstairs and
the prisoner followed me.
Mr. Knox—Did you see the knife

Prosecutor—No ; I only felt myself stabbed. I called
" police," and a constable came, and I gave the prisoner in
chat ge, and I was taken to the hospital.
Mr. Knox—What were you doing at the house?
Prosecutor—We had been out drinking, and we had just
called at the house to have a glass together.
Mr. Knox—Were you both sober?
Prosecutor—l cannot say that we were. Ido not wish
to press the charge, as the prisoner is a friend of mine.

Mr. Knox—ls the house a brothel ?
Prosecutor—l believe it is.

Mr. George Edward Pyle, junior house surgeon, at the
➢Middlesex Hospital, said, at half-past five this morning the
prosecutor and the prisoner were brought to the hospital.
Prosecutor had an incised wound on the upper part of the
left arm. The wound, which was about four inches in
length, was bleeding. The prosecutor also had a slight
wound on his left wrist. He had only his shirt and
trousers on, and they were smothered with blood,
Mr. Knox—Was there anything to tell you with what
sort of weapon the wounds were inflicted ?
Mr. Pyle—Tbe wounds might have been inflicted with
a sharp instrument. They were not punctured wounds
nor deep.
Mr. Knox—Do you apprehend any danger?
Mr. Pyle—l do not, but it is almost impossible to say.
Mr. Knox—Was there anything th© matter with the
accused ?

Mr. Pyle—He had a bruise on the eye and a small cut on
a finger of his left hand.
Police-constable 158—I heard cries of "police," and
went to Charlotte-street. The prosecutor and the prisoner
were in the hall of No. 76. Prosecutor said the prisoner had
stabbed him, and gave him into custody. I took them both
to the hospital, and afterwards took the prisoner to the
station. I searched the place, but could find no knife.
Mary Ann Graham, of 76, Charlotte-street—The prose-
cutor and prisoner came to my place about two this morn-
ing. They had been drinking, and asked for a bottle of
wine, which I supplied them with. Prisoner was going to
sleep on my bed, and I told him that I could not allow it.
The prosecutor and prisoner seemed quarrelsome. About
four o'clock I was called up stairs, and on going into my
bedroom they followed me in, and then prosecutor said pri-
soner had stabbed him.

Mr. Knox—Was there any knife in the prisoner'a hand ?

Witness—l did not see one.

Ann Jones, servant to the last witness, said--I was
called up by my mistress, and on going into the drawing-
room I found prosecutor and the prisoner struggling, and
both smothered with blood. Prosecutor ran down stairs
and pulled the door after him by the knocker. The pri-
soner, who had followed prosecutor down, had something
shining in his hand, and tried to strike the prosecutor. The
prisoner then ran upstairs to fetch his coat, and then the
police came.
Prisoner entered into a long statement to the effect that
a quarrel had taken place between him and the prosecutor,
and that as the prosecutor in the struggle was getting the
better of him he seized up something and made a blow at
him.

Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial, and offered
to take bail for his appearance at the sessions.
A person on the conclusion of the case stepped forward
and said that the house was not, as alleged, a brothel.

WESTMINSTER.
VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A GENTLEMAN.—Mr. George
Delaforne Beresford, of the Army and Navy Club, Pall-
mall, was charged before Mr. Arnold with being drunkard
riotous, and assaulting Policeman Gale, B division, in the
execution of his duty.
The constable stated that about one o'clock that morning
he was on duty in Knightsbridge, when he saw the priso-
ner, who had been turned out of the Sun Tavern, knocking
violently at the door of it. He (the constable) went up to
him and told him to go away, and get a cab to take him
home. He did not do so, but continued knocking. He
said they had turned him out, and wanted to know what
he had done that he should be turned cut. He again
began knocking with his stick, when witness told him that
if he did not cease he should take him to the station.
He then became very violent, and said, " You don't
know who I am=--1 am a captain in the army." He made
use of very bad language, and brandished a stick about
threatening to strike him with it. He did not do so, but
gave hint a blow with his fist. He was drunk.
The prisoner said that he was net drunk, and that he did
not recollect striking the constable.
Smith, 131 B, said that he saw the assault. Some per-
sons in the crowd observed to him (prisoner), "Why will
you not go home in a cab ?" Prisoner was drunk.
Sergeant of police, B 14, also said that the prisoner was
the worse for liquor when he was charged. _ _

The prisoner at first wished to have the case remanded,
in order to produce witnesses, and was held to bail to pro-
duce them, but eventually declined to do so.
Mr. Aruold observed that he had behaved very disorderly,
and that had the assault on the constable been a very severe
oar, he would have sent him to prison without a fine. The
prisoner was fined 505., which he paid.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGHAM RACES, WEDNESDAY.

The second day's sport on the Runnymede wa3 certainly
above the average, but the pitiless rain, which came down
in one unceasing pour, effectually marred all Enjoyment of
it, and reduced speculation to very narrow limits.

One of the best contests of the day was that for the Town
Plate, where the four placed came together from the stand,
and an exceedingly pretty race resulted in Don't come
Late winning by a neck, the other three so close up that
only a head separated them from each other. Wild Hunt-
ress won the Baron's Stalres cleverly, Dilston and Maid of
Morn filly making a dead heat of it for second honours.
The race of the day—the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes--
brought six to the post, and Gibraltar showed himself again
to be in excellent form by winning with ease, though Cue.
tance drew it so fine by allowing Detective to creep up to
Iran in the last few strides that the Judge's fit was only "by
a head."

By this time the rain had increased, and the remaining
events were ;got through as speedily as possible. The
favourite (Cadiz) won the Magna Charta Stakes with great
ease by five lengths, and for the Scurry Handicap Mr.
Edwards cantered in on Fletton.

Of couree, the attendancewas small; still it was surprising
to see how many ladies, as well as gentlemen, braved the
pelting of the storm and all the attendant disagreeables.
We wish we could say a good word for some of the
arrangements of the meeting, The various officials,
trainers, jockeys, and members of the press were supposed
to be sheltered from the weather in the structure provided
for their accommodation—but so ineffectual, in reality, was
it for that purpose that macintoshes and umbrellas were
equally needed inside as well as out. The discomfort of
this need not be dwelt upon, and the committee, if they
aspire to make Egham a popular meeting, should see to its
prevention in future years.

A protracted delay at the post was occasioned by the
repeated refusals of Miss Vivian to face the flag; at last
the flag was lowered, and they left the post nearly in a
line, Don't Come Late having a slight lead, followed on
the Stand side by the Duke cf Cambridge, at whose girths
was Queen Elizabeth and Xurullo, the others, headed by
Cadiz, Ernest, and Vigil, lying up. These positions were
retained to the enclosure, when the Duke of Cambridge
