LAW- THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANRUPTCY.
- (B ,-e Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
A BOLD APPLICATION.-IN RE ABELIN.

This was . n application for release from custody.
Mr. I•T• wnian opposed for the detaining creditor on the
ground that Mr. C;;mmissioner GoulburlA had refused to
discharge the bankrupt until the last examination mooting,
which is appointed for Monday next, unless he produced
two substantial bail in £5O each.

His Honour—Will Mr. Commissioner Goulburn sit on
Monday ?
Mr. Newman—Yes, sir.
His Honour—Then I certainly will not hear any appli-
cation for release.
The b nkrupt was thereupon taken back in custody.
IN RE RICHARDSON.

In this cause his Honour, a few days since, gave judg.
ment, passing the bankrupt's last examination, and declar
ing him entitled to his discharge.

Mr. Sargood, however, contended that he had not been
heard on the question of discharge. _ _ _

Mr, Brough for the bankrupt, contended that the case
had been fully argued on the merits on the examination.
Mr. Pook for the assignees, made no opposition to the
bankrupt passing and having his discharge, and had taken
his Honour's judgment as conclusive.
Mr. Sargood said that the question of discharge could
not be argued until after the bankrupt had passed.
Mr. Pook said the learned counsel had been heard on the
question of discharge, for he was not entitled to appear for
his client on the question of the bankrupt passing his last
examination.

His Honour said he could not remember all the facts,
and the better way would be to appoint a day for discussing
the question as to discharge.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

IVESTMiNSTER.
A CITY ARAI3,—A very respectable looking man applied
to Mr. Dayman, immediately upon his taking his seat on
the bench, respecting a boy 10 years age.
Applicant said his attention had been, recently called to
the child, whose condition, he thought, was entitled to
much commiseration and consideration. lie had been for
months wandering about seeking a shelter and food wherever
he could procure it, and if anything could be dorie for him
it might save him from ruin.
Mr. Dayman—Has the boy no friends ?
Applicant—He is here now, and will tell you himself
that he has neither father nor mother.
Mr. Dayman —Has he 113 friends ?

Applicant—None but a sister, who is unable to do any-
thing for him, and I think it would be very desirable that
he should be got into an avinm, and an opportunity offers.
Mr. Dad man--An opportunity offers, you say—where P
Applicant—At the industrial school at Walthamstow, if
your worship thinks fit.

Mr. Darman (to the boy)—Where have you been lately?
Boy—Living with tbis here man here (pointing to a rough
labouring man).

Mr. Dayman—Where do you get ycur food from?

Boy—Anywheres.
Mr. Dayman—Where have you got it from lately P
Boy—This here man here.
The man—l have known the boy from childhood, and
have looked to him a little of late.

Mr. Da3 man—l don't think that this boy comes under
the class of persons to be sent to industrial schools.
Applicant—Don't you think he does, sir P

Mr. Dayman—lf he is to be sent to one, every boy who
is without parents may be. He has a lawful claim on the
parish, who are bound to look to him and do everything that
is necessary for his instruction and maintenance; the line
must be drawn somewhere. You may take him to the
workhouse, and they are bound to give hint the needful
assistance.
