LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)

RE VACRER.
This bankrupt described himself of Albert-terrace, Ihys-
water, formerly of Brooksby-villas, Honlerton, and of Can-
terbury-terrace, Old Kent-road, commission agent, and

Mr. Haydon opposed on behalf of Mr. Cutts, the detain-
ing creditor, on the ground that the bankrupt had wrong-
fully described himself, as he nad been trading as P. Baker
and Co., of Watling-street, and elsewhere. He, Mr.
Haydon, therefore asked that the petition might be dis-
missed.
The bankrupt said he was a partner in the firm of Baker
and Co.
Mr. Haydon asked whether it was necessary now to go
into any further charges in opposition ?
His Honour said the petition could not be proceeded in
ar it stool.
The bankrupt asked to be allowed to amend.
His Honour said that the bankrupt might amend and
give fresh notice of application.
Hr. Haydon—With costs, your Honour ?
His Honour—Yes ; he must pay the costs.
Mr. Ayrton—He comes up in forma pauperis.
His Honour—l can't help that, he must pay the costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE SAILOR AND TUE SRAM DETECTIVE.—SINOULAR
CAM—John Stuart, of 16, West-street, St. James's, a dis-
charged constable of the metropolitan police force, was
charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with demanding to see the
pass of leave of Thomas Cumming, an able-bodied seaman
of her Majesty's naval barracks, Sheerness.
The complainant, a good specimen of an English sailor,
said, a little after 12 on Saturday night, I was having sup-
per at a fish shop in Crown-street, when the prisoner said
I was a deserter from the royal navy, and wanted to take
me into custody, at the same time stating that he was a de-
tective. The prisoner said he would wait till I had eaten
my supper, and then take me. I told the prisoner to be
off, or he would get into trouble, and asked the prisoner for
his warrant ticket if he was a detective. The prisoner then
asked to see my leave pass, and I told him that as he had
refused to let me see his ticket, I would not let him see my
pass. I then spoke to a constable, and asked him if he
knew the prisoner as a detective, and he said he did not,
and I then gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You had a pass, and declined to show it
to a person of the prisoner's description.
Complainant—That was it, sir ; I felt insulted.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Have you any witnesses?
Complainant—I had two civilian-rigged, but I don't see
them here now.
Jacobs, 182 C, said—l saw a crowd of persons assembled,
and an altercation between the sailor and the prisoner—the
prisoner accusing the sailor of being a deserter. On asking
the prisoner what business he had to take the sailor into
Custody, he said that he was a constable of the Essex con-
stabulary; but knowing he had been in the police, and dis-
charged, I took him into custody.
Prisoner—l heard some one say the prisoner was a de-
serter from the Fisgard, so I thought I would keep my eye
on him till a constable came. It is a rule of the Navy
for the men to wear the ribbon on the cap to indicate what
ship
they belong to, and I asked the prisoner for his. Ido
nold an appointment in the Preston police, and am going
to
it to-morrow. The sailor used bad language, and I
thought I was doing a public duty. I was dismissed from
the police.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—And you are going to another force ?
Prisoner—yes ;
grounds. they know it. I was acting on public

Mr. Tyrwhitt—l think quite differently. You are a
dangerous and meddlesome fellow. You were dismissed,
and have succeeded in getting into another force, and so
much the worse for that force. You have been guilty of an
impudent piece of presumption, and you thought you could
try it on with the fellow because he was a sailor, but I am
glad to think that he was your match, lam well aware
that sailors are often got in a scrape by a pack of fellows
who prey upon them, and I have no doubt you were trying
to make a tool of the sailor. You will have to pay £5, and
I hope the Preston force will know what sort of a man they
have taken on.

TIIAMES.
Mr. Woolrych was on the bench at half-past ten this
morning, and, after hearing numerous applications, pro-
ceeded with the night charges. The police constables who
had been on duty all night and were in charge of prisoners
were released about an hour earlier than usual, and will
obtain an hour's extra sleep.
It is to be hoped the magis-
trates will commence the business in future at the act of
Parliament hour of ten, and imitate the conduct of the
Judges, who invariably commence business at that hour in
the morning, and would bri42' upon themselves the indig-
nation of the bar and the public at large if they commenced
at any later period. The magistrates at Bow-street and
Worship-street are on the bench in their re-
spective courts at ten o'clock every morning, and
there is no reason why Mr. Woohych and Mr. Part-
ridge should not follow suit, and prevent the delays, incon-
venience, and partial failure of justice, occasioned by late
sittings.

Patrick M‘Govan, an Irish labourer, was brought before
Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting George Martin, a
mounted polieeman, on Saturday sight.
The complainant was riding On horseback, in the per-
formance of his duty, in Bow, on Saturday at midnight,
jut after the houses were closed, and encountered a lot of
drunk and disorderly ruffians, who had just left the public-
houses and beer-shops full of drink and mischief.
They were creating a disturbance, some were fight-
ing, and others were shouting, hallooing, and swear-
ing. Martin then requested them to go to their
homes and be quiet, and on their refusal attempted to dis-
perse them, in which he was assisted by Louth, a dismounted
police-constable, and a plain clothes man. The prisoner,
who was the most noisy and savage, struck one of the con•
stables on foot, and then threw three large stones at the
mounted constable. Two of them struck his new helmet,
and with such force as to put him to great pain and incon-
venience. The third stone missed him. The prisoner was
immediately secured and given into custody.
Mr. Woolrych commented in terms of indignation and
disgust at the cowardly and infamous conduct of the pri-
soner, who threw stones in the dark at a public officer in the
execution of his duty, and doing that duty. in a firm and
temperate manner. It was the act of an assassin, a das-
tardly act. If the head of the mounted constable had not
been well protected by a helmet the blows might have pro-
duced concussion of the brain and death. He sentenced
the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour in
the House of Correction.

CAPTAIN GRANT.—Captain giant, the Eastern
traveller, is to be‘presented with the freedom of the burgh
of Dingwall. The respected mother of the traveller (widow
of the Rev. James Grant of Nairn) resides in Dingwall.
ESCAPE OF A MAN WITH HIS THROAT CUT FROM
Guy's HOSPITAL.—Early on Saturday morning
great consternation prevailed at Guy's Hospital and neigh-
bourhood in consequence of a man named Richard Carpen-
ter, who lived in Webber-street, Blackfriais-road, and was
admitted on Friday with his throat cut, escaping from the
above hospital. It appears he was actually strapped down,
yet by some means he managed to break loose from the
straps, rushed out of the hospital, and got into a cab, the
horse of which dashed off, the driver happening to be talking
with some companions a little distance from the cab. He
was pursued and captured, but not before he had broken the
windows of the cab. He was at once carried back to the
hospital, but the authorities advised his removal to the
workhouse, which was accordingly done.
