LAW---Th'lS DAY.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Gibbons.)

MASON V. CURTIS.-DEEDS OF COMPOSITION UNDER THE

NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT.
This was an action to recover for goods sold and delivered,
and in the course of the case, Mr. Buchanan, for the de-
fendant, said he could produce a deed of composition drawn
up in full compliance with the requisitions of the act.
His Honour—You see, Mr. Buchanan, that there are two
cases of this kind now pending—one is before the Court of
Error, an-I one before the Court of Queen's Bench. It
would be hardly fair to ask one to receive your deed until
the court above finally disposes of the matter.
Mr. Buchanan, after such an expression from the Court,
did not see how he could press the matter, and the case
proceeded without the deed, his Honour remarking,
although, if you ask me my opinion, I think the deed a
good one.

THE SEIZURE OF THE CIRCASSIAN BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
In reference to the action recently tried in this court, the
reporter is informed that there are other cases which will
shortly come on for hearing arising out of the seizure of the
Circ-issian. In the case decided, as the amount was under
£2O, the defendant had no power to appeal, nor could he
remove the case by certiorari after it had come on for hear-
ing. In the next cases some of the seamen claim damages
exceeding £2O, and it is understood that this important
question will be brought under the notice of the judges in
the superior court at Westminster. In the event of the
decision at Westminster Hall supporting that of the Sheriffs'
Court, the reporter is told that a great many similar lenses
will have to be tried as against other :vessels seized in
America.

CRIMINAL COURT---THIS DAY

OLD COURT.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
ALLEGED MURDER.

Samuel Gardner and Elizabeth Humbler were jointly
indicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Gardner, in
Northumberland-court, Fenchurch-street.
The case was opened by Mr. Poland for the prosecution,
who was about to submit to the jury some statements which
had been made by the female, when

The Chiaf Baron could not allow such a course. Not a
shade of guilt had yet been thrown by the learned counsel
on the woman, and he suggested that in her case a verdict
of Not Guilty should be taken, and that she should be
called as a witness, which would expose her to a cross-
examination.

This course was ultimately adopted, and Humbler left
the dock, and the case proceeded against Gardner.
It will be recollected that the prisoner carried on the
business of a sweep in Northumberland-court. Humbler
had for some time acted as domestic servant to the prisoner,
but it appeared she had been on terms of intimacy with him,
which naturally occasioned an ill-feeling between him and
his wife. The body of the wife was found with a terrible gash
in the throat, and when her death became known Gardner
accused Humbler of having murdered his wife, and after-
wards placed the knife in his wife's hand to make it appear
as if she had committed suicide.

The principal witness examined was the surgeon, who
gave it as his opinion that it was utterly impossible for the
deceased to have inflicted the wound which caused her
death with her own hand. He also said the position of the
knife was strong evidence that she did not do so, because if
she cut her throat with it she must have done it with the
back of the knife. The knife seemed to have been placed
in the hand of the deceased after death with the edge back-
wards.

The witness was subjected to a long and minute cross-exa
urination by Mr. Ribton, who defended the accused, with a
view to show that it was within the range of possibility that
dectased committed suicide; but in this he entirely failed, the
surgeon believing that under any circumstances it was im-
possible for the woman to have inflicted the injury with her
own hand.
