BANKRUPTCY COURT (THIS DA Y).

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE DUNN AND VENABLES.—Tue SEIZURE OF THE
SALSETTE EMIGRANT SHIP.

These alleged bankrupts were described of Craven-
street, Strand, shipowners ; and the adjudication took
place a few days since, and notice was• given that the
adjudication would be disputed. The time for which
the notice was given was half-past eleven o'clock ; but
up to half-past one no one appeared to support the
notice.

Mr. Gale said that lie appeared as solicitor to the pas-
sengers, who were greatly inconvenienced by the delay
through the detention of the vessel (the Salsette, be-
longing to Dunne and Venables, under seizure by virtue
of a warrant from this court). _

His Honour said, that many persons did not under-
stand the effect of a writ ne exeat regno, and the mes-
senger of this court had peculiar facilities for stopping
ships.
Mr. Gale said, that at all events some allowance ought
to be made to the passengers, thirty-five in number.
Mr. Philp, the solicitor to the petitioning creditor,
said, he understood that an arrangement had been come
to by which the creditors wouldibe paid twenty shillings
in the pound, and the proceedings in bankruptcy super-
seded. In fact, the case had been before Mr. Commis-
sioner Holroyd two days ago, and his Honour had taken
time to consider what course ought to be pursued.
His Honour requested Mr. Winslow, the registrar, to
confer,with Mr. Commissioner Holroyd on the subject,'
and Mr. Winslow shortly afterwards returned and said,
that Mr. Commissioner Holroyd at first laboured under
the impression that the case had been ballotted to him ;
but as it appeared it had not, he should not interfere
further. _ _ _ _

His Honour asked how he could certify that the
whole of the creditors had been paid in full unless there
had been spme meeting at which they could prove.
Mr. Philp said that it had been proposed to make an
affidavit to that effect.

His Honour said he had no power to receive it ; all he
could do was to wait a reasonable time, and if no cause
was shown to confirm the adjudication, there was nothing
on the face of the proceedings to annul it.
It was then arranged that Mr. Leverson, solicitor to
the parties, should be sent for, and a delay of an hour
took place, it was then stated that no hour was fixed
in the notice for the time of the application, and Mr.
Leverson was busy engaged in preparing the affidavit.
His Honour said he should not act upon that affidavit
if produced further.
_ .

After waiting some time and no person appearing in
support of the notice, it was dismissed.
Mr. Gale then pressed for an early day to be named
for the meeting.

Mr. Philp said the creditors had signed an agreement
to accept the offer.
After a few words, it was agreed that a day should be
fixed, but the advertisements cannot issue until after to-
morrow, and there appears to be little doubt that the
matter will be arranged satisfactorily to all parties.
The vessel still remains in charge of one of the }nes-
senger's assistants. It was suggested that the ship
might be allowed to proceed on her voyage, having Mr.
Hamlin or one of his assistants on board, but that point
was not discussed; and fell to the ground.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.)

SOUTHAMPTON.
( Continued from our First Edition.)'

The principal part of the evidence adduced during the
afternoon was in proof of the agency of Mr. Barrett and
Mr. Brinton, and•it appeared that they were engaged in
canvassing electors on behalf of the sitting members, and
in taking them to the poll.
The remaining evidence had reference to the treating of
voters. All that was proved, however, was that some
electors had partaken of breakfast at Mr. Brinton's house
on the morning of the election, and that on the same
day several persons, some of whom were voters, were
supplied by Mr. Barrett with bread, meat, and beer, in
some public gardens opposite his house.
At four o'clock the committee adjourned until to-mor-
row at eleven.
