LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

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

IN BE BILES—JUDGMENT.
His Honour to-day gavo judgment in the case of this
bankrupt, who applied a few days since to pass his exami •
nation, and to apply for the order of die. harge. His honour
said that the bankrupt was described as a farrier and cab
proprietor, and this was one of the many cases so frequently
before the court in which persons against whom a judgment
either on contract or fact came before the court to be re-
leased. In this case the bankrupt had an action brought
against him for a large sum of money, and consented to a
verdict for £lOO, and the debts and costs amounted to £l7B,
and the very day the judgment was given the bankrupt pe
titioned the court, he at the time only owing other debts to
the amount of £l9, so that substantially this court was re-
sorted to simply to render the judgment useless. It was said
by some persons that the creditors before they brought
actions ought to satiFfy themselves that if they obtained a
verdict the debtor was in a position to pay the money, but
a man might be solvent then ; but there were facilities for
his getting rid of every thing, and leave the assignee to try
the question at his own expense. He (his Honour) hoped
that if there be any alteration in the law something might
be done to prevent these very great frauds, for he was fully
persuaded that this was a very great fraud, and that a cri-
minal offence had been committed under the 6th and 7th
clauses of the 221 section of the act of Parliament, for there
could be no doubt that the accounts were concocted and
manufactured. His Honour commented with great severity
on the conduct of amen named Sm.ridge, himself a bankrupt,
and although he had not cleared his first bankruptcy was
again before the Court, and he and another person had made
up a book after the bankruptcy. He (his Honour) would
not order a prosecution, as he feared that the evidence of
Surridge (and another) might be set up, but if the matter
was taken before a magistrate, and there was a committal,
he would order a prosecution. As the case stood, he would
never pass the bankrupt on the false and fabricated FL:-
counts, but adjourn the examination sine die, with protec
tion for six weeks to enable the bankrupt to appeal or apply
again to this court. He also asked Mr. Tucker (the solici-
tor to the assigne. s) to loi k at all the proceedings and see
what probability there vett• of a conviction, looking at the
proceedings in the case of Surridge.

IN RE SIR C. SULLIVAN.
In this case his Honour said that it would not have fol-
lowed as a matter of course that the bankrupt would have
been discharged by the Registrar, who would have exer-
cised his discretionary power.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day,

OLD COURT.
The May session of the Central Criminal Court corn
menced this morning.

The calendar contains the names of 139 prisoners await-
ing trial. There are five charges of wilful murder, man.
slaught..r, 3; forgery, 17; housebreaking and larceny, 6
burglary, 7; misdemeanour, 6 ; larceny by servants, 10;
uttering base coin, 26 ; *rid perjury, 1; the remainder con-
sisting of the usual description of cases.
The Recorder, in charging the jury remarked that there
were no less than five individuals for wilful murder, but as
defence

Gt hoeo d
iiffe andtrouble them by referring to them. One of the indictments
was rather singular and arose out of the mutiny which
broke out some time ago on board a Peruvian vessel of war
lying in the port of London. The deceased Manuel Rodri-
guez Silva, tv.qi in the cabin of the ship when the
prisoner
Mango, a soldier, entered, and in order to avoid an en-
counter with him, Silva jumped overboard and was
drowned. The jury must satisfy themselves that the life of
the deceased was in danger from the violence of prisoner
before they could return a true bill against him. With re-
spect t . the crime of child murder, it was lamentable to
observe that it appeared, from the numters of persons
charged with it, to be on the increase; yet legally that did
not appear to be the case, as the convictions for the crime
were comparatively few. Raving made a few observati. net
relative to the number of persons charged with uttering
counterfeit coin, the learned gentleman concluded and the
grand jury retired.

xunxzznEmENT.
Thomas Richardson, who was found gu;lty last session
of embezzling and stealing various sums of money, the pro-
perty of Thomas C-oper, his master, was placed in the dock
and sentenced to six years penal servitude.

The Lyons journals announce a suspension of
payments on the part of the firm of Travi and Co., a large
house in the silk trade in that city. The liabilities are be-
lieved to amount to from 2,500,000 fr. to 3,000,000 fr,

THE REPRESENTATION OP TRALEE.We hum
the youngest son of the Liberator has received from
' the Government an appointment for which we know he is
in every way fully qualifiA ; audit is gratifting to observe
that the administration of Lord Palmerston has not hesi-
tated to confer on the youngest son of the indefatigab'e,
able, and eloquent champion of Catholic rights a position
which the one may confer and the other accept without
compromise of principle. By this most graceful appoint-
ment the representation of the borough of Tralee becomes
vacant, and last night Mr. Bland moved in the House of
Cointnqns for a new writ. Rumour says that Mr. Thomas
O'H4gan, the able and eloquent advocate of Catholic
righ•s
on all occasions, is like to be the successor of the Libera-
rator's son. If so, all we add is• that the representation
could not fall into better or more faithful custody.—l ree-
man's Journal.
