COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Gaulburn.)
IN RE SUCKENBANDEN-JUDGMENT.
His Honour gave judgment in the case of this bankrupt,
a jeweller, in North -place, Finsbury, and applied last week
for an order of discharge, which was opposed on the ground
that the bankrupt had obtained goods without reasonable
prospect of payment.

His Honour considered the case had been made out,
and suspended the order of discharge for six months from
the present time, but granted protection.

IN RE LIGHTBODY.
This was an application for discharge.
Mr. E. Reed was for the bankrupt, and Mr. Pook for
the assignees.

The bankrupt had carried on business as a beerehop
keeper in Rotherhithe. The unsecured debts are very
small, and if the securities held by the brewers realise ac-
cording to the estimate, the unsecured creditors will have
a dividend of about 7s. in the pound.

DISTRESSING CASE.—DPITER'MINED ATTEMPTED Sue-
ClDE.—Maria Bastard, a respectable looking young woman,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following deter-
mined attempt at suicide :
On the 18th of September last the young woman, while
in service in Princes-street, Hanover-square, attempted to
destroy herself by cutting her throat with a razor. She
was immediately taken to the Westminstet Hospital, where
till to-day she has remained. She now appeared in court
a pitiable condition, scarcely able to articulate, and inserted
in her throat was a silver tube, she having made the at-
tempt on her life with such determination that she had
severed the windpipe.

The young woman's mistress was in attendance, and said
that she was a most excellent servant, and well conducted,
but she had observed her at times rather desponding.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was quite clear the young woman
was not in a fit state to be at large, and ordered Sharvill,
tha minor gaoler, to convey her in a can to tne xxouoo or
Detention on remand for a few days.
On leaving the dock the poor creature became very ex-
cited, and was taken out of court in a fit.
ROBBING A COUNTRY VISITOR TO THE CATTLE SHOW.
—James Denman, a well-dressed young fellow, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch of the value
of £1.7, the property of Mr. John Morris, farmer, of Oak-
ham, Rutlandshire.

181 1:

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Mat lborough-street, ap-
peared for the prisoner.

Mr. Morris said he was in London for the purpose of
visiting the cattle show, and on the previous evening went
to the Haymarket Theatre. He had paid for one ticket,
and while paying for the other felt a push from behind, and
at the same moment a tug at his watch chain, and his
watch was drawn by the prisoner's hand from underneath
his (Mr. Morris's) Inverness cape.
Mr. Lewis put questions to the prosecutor, but he was
positive the prisoner was the person who took his watch.
Kelly, a linkman at the Haymarket Theatre, proved pick-
ing up the prosecutor's watch, which had been broken
from the chain, at the pit entrance of the theatre.
Speechlsy, 573 A, while on duty at the Haymarket
Theatre, saw the prisoner standing at the entrance, and
heard Mr. Morris say that prisoner had taken his watch.
Prisoner said he had not done it, and that he was a gentle-
man, and it was impossible he could have done such a thing.
Mr. Lewis said the prisoner, acting under his advice,
would plead guilty.

MEETING THIS DAY.

A public meeting was held to-day at the London Tavern,
for tho purpose of giving expression to the strong feeling
of sympathy which existed in London in favour
of the movement which had lately taken place in Greece.
Mr. Crawford, M.P. for the City of London, presided.
The CrreaßmArr, in opening the meeting, con-
gratulated the assembly on the success of the
steps that had slowly taken place to restore
Greece to her proper position amongst the other
nations of the world. They were not there that day
to discuss the subject of who was to occupy the
vacant throne of that country, but solely for
the purpose of testifying how strongly they feel
interested in the struggle now being carried on in Greece
for liberty. The country had for
yearsv been subjected
to the domination of one who had shown himself
utterly incapable of Government, but he trusted that
the future happiness would in a great measure compensate
for the sufferings of the past. (Cheers.)
Mr. B. COCHRANE; M.P., moved the first resolution
He said it was no fault of the people of Greece that their
country had fallen so low in the scale of nations. They, owing
t) the tyranny and bad Government they had been subjected
to, were entirely blameless for the lost reputation of Greece
The late King had tried their endurance to the utmost
limit, and when it became so infinitely bad they
rose as one man and throw off the incubus
that had weighed them down. (Cheers.) All that
was now wanted was wise and judicious counsellors, and,
if those were obtained, Greece would take that position
which was her right. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in
moving the first resolution, which was as follows :

" I. That this meeting, recognising the mutual interest
of the several states of Europe in their common welfare and
progressive advancement, desires to express its hearty sym-
pathy with the efforts now being made by the Greek people
for the political regeneration of their country.
The resolution was carried amidst loud cheers, as were
also the following :

1081

A DISAGREEABLE SURPRISE.--A dirty looking woman,
giving the name of Mary Ann Everett, was charged with
being drunk and creating a great disturbance.
Police constable 329 B, said that at half-past seven last
evening he heard great screams in Belgrave-place, and on
going there found the defendant,who still continued scream-
ing, and complained that her daughter struck her. She
had been previously in the hands of the police and let go.
A gentleman is now present at whose house she had made
a great disturbance.

" 11. That as Englishmen they have long behold with
regret the depressed condition of the Greek nation, through
the mismanagement of a ruler who, acquiescing in the vio-
lation of solemn fianancial engagements, and indifferent to
the consequent destruction of its public credit, disregarding
the stagnation of the internal industry of the country, and
withholding all encouragement to the development of her
great natural resources, 11,13 met with the just punishment
of expulsion from his government and country.
" 111. That entertaining the conviction that the natural
and inherent right of every nation to choose its own form
of government is now too well understood throughout
Europe to admit of external interference in the affairs of
Greecs this meeting is as fully persuaded that in the re-
organisation of their political affairs the people of Greece
will on their part scrupulously respect the rights of all other
states.

" IV. That the chairman of this meeting be requested io
transmit these resolutions to the Greek committee, and to
assure them that in its opinion the admirable moderation
and unanimity which have marked the recent political
changes in Greece entitle her people to the moral support
and warm sympathy of all civilised nations."
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro
ceedings.

SUSPECTED DEATH FROM ABORTION.

Mr. Craven, of St. Michael's-terrace, Pimlico, said—On
unexpectedly arriving home at half-past five last evening
I found this woman in my house and my wife in a dreadful
state. I found the defendant had been in the habit of
coming to the house and by intimidation extorting money
from my wife. She had been there in the course of the
day and had refused to leave. She then had her taken
to the station, when she threw stones at her and behaved
very ill. She was then permitted to go at large, but re-
turned, thundered at the door and disturbed the whole
neighbourhood,

Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of her P
Complainant—To my great surprise I discovered last night
that this woman was Illy with's mother.
Mr. Arnold—Were you not acquainted with that fact be-
fore P

Complainant— I was not; I did not know even of her
existence until last night.

Defendant—She has always disowned me. lam not fine
enough for her.

Complainant—And another very extraordinary thing is
that my wife's sister—another of this woman's daughters—
has been living servant with us and I did not know it. For
14 years I have been deceived.

Mr. Arnold—And you not know your wife's sister all
,hat time.

CORONER'S INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

Complainant--I assure you I did not ; I never thought of
such a thing.

Mr. Arnold—lt is a very odd discovery.
Complainant—It is. My wife confessed it. This woman
has been for years living upon me ; I may say that she has
had hundreds from my wife. She has been constantly there
Defendant--I have not had hundreds;
during my absence threatening her.
so I am poor, so my daughter don't own me.
Mr. Arnold ordered the defendant to enter into recognis-
ances to keep the peace for six months. how can you say

The adjourned inquest into the circumstances connected
with the death of Ellen Saunders was resumed this morn-
ing before Mr. Payne, at the George Tavern, Strand.
Mr. Dickie, instructed by Messrs. Charnock, of Gray's-
inn, appeared for Mrs. Dr. Goss, of Great Queen-street,
Lincoln's inn-field.

On the former occasion Mr. Makin stated he attended
the deceased some days ago and found her suffering very
much from premature child birth, which she alleged had
been brought on through fright. He attended upon her
until her death. Mr. Edwards, surgeon, of Great Rus-
sell-street, said he made a post mortem examination of the
body of deceased, and found the bowels very inflamed and
some of the intestines perforated. Death had been caused
by the inflammation, and drastic medicines for the pur-
poses of abortion might have caused the result. Some of
the relatives of the deceased said she had taken some
pills given to her by a person whom she had consulted, and
the inquiry was adjourned for the purpose of allowing that
party to attend.

THAMES.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ASSAULT BY A WOMAN.—
Catherine Sweeney, an Irishwoman, was brought up on
remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting and
robbing Ann.Tuby, the wife of a labourer, dwelling at No.
81, Spring-gardens, a court leading out of High-street,
Whitechapel,

This was not a garotte robbery and outrage, but one
committed from motives of personal revenge, and attended
with c.,nsiderable violence. The prisoner had been impri-
soned under a sentence of one of the magistrates of the
Won hip-street Police-court for assaulting the com-
plainant's daughter, Since then she had frequently an-
noyed and insulted the prosecutrix, and accompanied her
abuse with the most dreadful threats and imprecations. A
few evenings since Mrs. Tuby and her husband had been
to a shop in High-street,Whitechapel, to purchase grocery,
and were returning towards their own home when the pri-
soner, who was accompanied by three men, attacked her
with great ferocity and knocked her down, and when she
was down kicked her about the head and body. The hus-
band of the injured woman went to her assistance, and
seized the prisoner, on which the three ruffians who accom-
panied her attacked him simultaneously, and beat him in a
savage manner, knocked him down and kicked him while
he was down. The husband was completely disabled
by the ruffians. His wife had managed to rise,
and the prisoner struck her again, her three
companions hustled her, and shoved her from one to the
other, and she was again_ hurled to the ground with
great violence.• The prisoner then snatched the basket
containing the grocery just purchased, from Mrs. Tuby,
and ran away. Mr. and Mrs. Tuby were both seriously
injured and lost a good deal of blood. The three men who
joined in the outrage and robbery were at this court on the
morning of the first examination, and threatened both Tuby
and his wife, who unfortunately neglected to give them into
custody. It did not appear that either of the injured
parties gave the prisoner any provocation whatever.

Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial for high-
way robbery with violence.

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to-day
was small, and in but middling condition. Good and fine
parcels moved off steadily at full prices ; otherwise, the
trade was dull on former terms.

Ihe show of samples of foreign wheat, ex granary, was
moderately extensive. In all descriptions sales progressed
slowly, yet prices were fairly supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at
late rates.

The barley trade was far from active; nevertheless, good
and fine malting qualities supported former quotations.
Malt cbanged hands slowly, yet prices were maintained.
Oats, the supply of which was only moderate, ruled
steady at late rates.

Beans and peas were steady, and without change in value
from Monday.
In flour a limited business was transacted ; nevertheless,
all kinds commanded full prices.

Mr. Dickie said he had read the evidence which had
been given on a former oc asion, and he should like to put
a few questions to the medical gentleman.
Mr. Edwards said he could not say positively that the
pills spoken of had been used to procure abortion.
Mr. Dickie—lf you had not heard of the use of instru-
ments indirectly, could you say, from the appearance of
the body, that they had been used ?
Mr. Edwards—No, I could not.
Mr. Makin said the pills found at the house of the de-
ceased had been sent to Dr. Alfred Taylor for analysation,
and were found to cunsist of aloes, myrrh, and gamboge,
which was a drastic medicine, and when used in large
quantities would produce abortion, but in small quantities
it might be taken with beneficial effect. He could not say
that the ulceration had been caused by the pills.
The Coroner asked Mr. Dickie if he intended to produce
Mrs. Goss for examination?

Mr, Vickie said he should decline to do so, on the ground
of not criruinating his client by putting her in the witness-
box.

Mr. Edwards was recalled, and said Le saw a box nearly
full of pills in the deceased's room, but no empty pill boxes.
The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and remarked
the ulceration spoken of could not for certain be attributed
to the pills deceased had taken, which, according to the
medical evidence, might have been safely used in small
quantities, so there was no case against any one ; but if it
had been satisfact wily proved that they had been taken in
large quantities to produce abortion, then matters would
stand very differently, because it was an offence of a vet),
serious nature on the part of all parties concerned in such
an act.

The jury, atter a short deliberation, said they were of
opinion that death had been produced by ulceration of the
colon, but there was no evidence to show how it was
caused.
