LAW INTELLIGUNCE.-(THIS DAY).

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
4KK-.EAKTE TEAGUE IN THE MATTER OF TEAGUE, A BANK

'a JOll aura'.
ROSE stated that this was the petition of the uncle
• 'citthe bankrupt, which prayed that he might be at liberty
10 prove a debt of 7001. and a fraction against his ne-
phew's estate. The debt arose in consequence of pay-
ments made by the petitioner under guarantees which he
'had entered into for his nephew, and also in consequence
• of the payment of bills by the petitioner, which had been
. drawn by his nephew without the petitioner's knowledge.
The petitioner contended that no partnership existing be-
' tween himself and his nephew, the bills must be looked
upon as forgeries. Upon the matter coming on before the
Commissioners they refused to allow the proof, considering
that a
partnership must be taken as existing between the
bnd
petitionerotl and his nephew, if not the petitioner was not
to ray the bills, and must be considered as baying
paid them for the purpose of shielding the bankrupt from
• the effects of a criminal prosecution. The Learned Conn-
p, • . set, in support of the petition, thought it perfectly clear
that the judgment of the Commissioners was wrong, and that
the proof ought to be made. The petitioner had beenadvised
by Counsel that he was bound to pay the bills under the
guarantee, although he had not given any authority to his
nephew to draw them. It was most positively sworn
that no partnership existed, and it was not till after
actions had been brought on the bills that the petitioner
. paid them. Every circumstance connected with the case
was totally inconsistent with a partnership, and the bank.
rupt's estate had derived all the benefit of the money paid
. to the petitioner.
The VICE_CHANCELLOR considered the case totally un-
- +supported by affidavits. Until evidence to rebut it was
adduced, the judgment of the Commissioner must be taken
correct. Looking at the whole case, the Court felt
itself bound to dismiss the petition with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HATTON-GARDEN.
haae Smith, John Myles, and Abraham Warring
;' were charged by an interesting looking young woman,
.'etii named Elizabeth Hartland, with having committed a rape
upon her person.
This case excited a great degree of interest in conse-
.
quence of the three prisoners being married men, having
. 74 • btrge families, and in a rather respectable way of living.
E. Hartland stated, as she was passing downßosamond- street
on last Thurday evening, about four o'clock, she was ac-
, coated by the three prisoners, who invited her to go into
t . a public house, which she accordingly did, although
they were strangers. After remaining there for a very
' ' considerable period of time, during which she had some
~, ... drink along with them, they all left the house together,
and proceeded towards Copenhagen-fields, when they all
went into another public-house, at which place they
stopped until after seven o'clock; they then left the house,
and when they approached the fields Smith knocked her down,
and lifted up her clothes; she endeavoured to resist his
• , attacks upon her person, but the other prisoners held her
legs apart, and tied a handkerchief over her mouth, until
Smith had effected his purpose. The other prisoners
then successively violated her in spite of all the exertion
..sltti used to Prevent it. Her face was greatly scratched,
,- and her clothes torn in the struggle. Her screams, how-
ever, attracted to the spot three gent' aaen, on whose
approach they desisted from their attacks. The gentlemen
then protected her home to her father's house.
From the testimony of those three gentlemen, whose
names we omit mentioning, it appeared that as they were
proceeding home at about half-past seven o'clock, near the
Copenhagen-fields, their ears were assailed by the cries
of a female at some distance from them in the field. They
accordingly proceeded thither, and found those three
prisoners ill using the female in the manner she described.
On their appearance in the field, prisonersleft the
the
female, after advising her to go off with them. The gen-
tlemen offered to protect her home,which after some hesitation
she consented to. She appeared to them to be in a very
exhausted agitated state, her clothes being much torn and
. ' 'soiled.
Mr. Kean, a medical man, being in the room, was re-
guested by Mr. Laing, the Magistrate to examine the state
. in which the woman Hartland was in, and the amount of
injury inflicted on her person. After some time he re-
,taened, and described the violence that appeased to be
Visible on her person, which corroborated the testimony of
• the girl.laeraelf.
The mother of the girl stated the situation in which her
daughter was on the night in question, after she had been
brought home by the three gentlemen who rescued her from
the hands of the prisoners : her face bore evident marks
of violence, and she was in a very weak state. Her hus-
band was a carpenter, residing" at No. 2, Clarke-street,
Little Sutton-street.
The policemen that arrested the prisoners stated, when
they were taken, that they used certain expressions which
were tantamount to an admission of having been guilty of
the charge imputed to them. One of them having said,
" If the woman tells the truth, she will hang us !"
The investigation was proceeding with when our Re-
porter left the office.
The prisoners earned 21. a week by their employment.
The office and many of the streets in the neighbourhood
wire crowded.

KING'S THEATRE.—The opera of Matilde
di Shrubran e Corrudino was on Saturday night revived
at this theatre. It was received with much applause, and
is one of the most recent productions of Rossuti.
CALEDONIAN THEATRE.—The perform-
ances at this place of amusement continue to meet with
Warm encouragement—and very deservedly so. Several
operas have been produced in a style that reflects the
greatest credit on the management. The operatic corps
includes four or five really excellent vocalists, and the or-
chestra is complete in its parts, and conducted in a careful
and praiseworthy manner. The leader, Mr. CUMMINS, is
evidently a musician of no inconsiderable attainments; and
the instrumental players under him, individually and col-
lectively, acquit themselves so as completely to gratify au
ear skilled in the combination of orchestral effects. The
solos are pointedly taken up, and neatly executed—the wind
instruments are well in tune—the time is scrupulously ob-
served—and light and shade is given by the strict attention
to the pianos and fortes. We shall have more to say upon
the individual merits of the principal singers on some future
occasion ; and, in the meantime, recommend the per-
formances as highly worthy of the attention of lovers of
music, who have now an opportunity afforded them of
hearing several Italian and German operas—not certainly
in their original language, nor represented with that force
of musical expression which they strictly demand ; but
altogether in a style in which the effects, both as regard
the instrumental and vocal parts, are so equally balanced in
point of merit, that a very pleasing idea is conveyed of
these compositions.—Scotsman.
, • We lately noticed the progress that had been
made in Paisley in the manufacture of Thibet or fine
"_• Woollen shawls, and we are now sorry to state that they
birOe • scarcely been brought to perfection till they
'have suffered a decline. There have been a number of the
weavers engaged at them dropped during the last two
weeks. Owing to the silk shawls being rather improving,
these weavers got employment at them, or something else,
but this subjects them to the trouble and expence of a
change. The finer descriptions of transparent silks have
been doing better during the last two months than they
have been for a considerable time past, and the houses en-
gaged in that line are still continuing to take on hands.
This, we believe, is amongst the best descriptions of hand-
loom weaving in the west of Scotland, and from the nature
of the fabric at present making,;of great benefit to the female
part of the community, as it mostly requires to be cut after
coming from the loom.— Glasgow Chronicle.
