COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE JONATHAN MATTHEWS-THE MULLER REWARD.

An HON. MEMBER asked whether the expense would be
borne by the Indian Government.
Sir 0. WOOD, in reply, said the expense would be Borne
as the service was performed. The Indian Government
had advanced the million of money for the construction of
the vessels.

This matter, which has been so often before the court,
came on again this morning upon tho application of the
bankrupt for his order of discharge.
Mr. Brough, for the assignee, said—l appear in this case
on behalf of the assignee in this estate, and will call your
honour's attention to the surrounding circumstances. The
bankrupt applies now for his order of discharge, but I
apprehend that this will not be granted in the present
position of affairs. The assignee has since this bankruptcy
had every obstacle placed in his way by the bankrupt, who
has stopped a sum of £lOO due to the estate, and now in
the hands of the North London Railway Company. We
have had communications with the attorney to the North
London Railway Company, and wo believe from the answer
received from the attorneys to the Railway Company that
if an action wero brought the money now stopped will be
paid over. Under all these circumstances we ask that the
court will grant us permission to proceed against the North
London Railway Company.
Bankrupt—l crave the attention of the Court. I was
taken from this country ten months ago, and since then
have been out of employment. I do think that the credi-
tors should allow me to.have the £lOO now in dispute and
divide the £2OO still in hand. All these adjournments are
got up for the purpose of keeping both creditors and my-
self out of the reward, which will all be swamped in costs.
I have been cruelly treated by Mr. Beard and the German
League Society in London and have been threatened. I
hope I shall have an allowancemade to me. I cannot con-
sent that the North London Railway Company should pay
the money to a man not worth fourponco.
Mr. Brough—You should not make reflections.
Bankrupt—Have not I been reflected upon ?
His Honour said that the money ought to bo paid in to
the Bank of England.
Mr. Brougham (the registrar) said ho had repeatedly
told the assignee to pay in the money, but he had neglected
to do so.

Mr. Partridge said the applicant had made a wise resolve
not to marry a blackguard, and he would grant a sum-
mons.

The applicant said that the mother of tho young man
had detained her box and things in it.
Mr. Partridge—What is the value of the property she
has detained ?

AppliCant—About £5, sir.
Mr. Partridge—You shall have a summons against the
mother of the young man for detaining the property.
THE LOST CIIILD FOUND.—Police-sorgeant Prior, of the
H division, came before Mr. Partridge with a' young woman
named Priscilla Carson, who lost her little daughter in
Whitechapal, on Monday afternoon, and made an applica-
tion to Mr. Paget for relief yesterday afternoon. Her child
was found in Homerton Workhouse, whether it had been
brought by a stranger, who found the child in the street
bewailing the loss of her mother.

Mr. Partridge said he was very glad the afflicted woman
had recovered her child, and gavo directions to Prior, who
had behaved so humanely, to pay her railway fare to
Bishop's Stortford, in Hertfordshire, where her husband
was employed.

Mrs. Carson tendered her grateful thanks to the police
for the assistance rendered to her, to the magistrates for
their kindness, and to the press for the notico taken of her
case.

MARKETS--•This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

To-day's market was well supplied with beasts, and
the condition of the stock was, on the whole, good.
The beef trade ruled quiet, at about Monday's currency.
Prime Scots and crosses realised 4s 8d to 4s 10d per Blbs.
Sheep, the supply of which on sale was moderate, mored
off slowly, at late rates. The top figure was 6s per
81bs. The market was but moderately supplied with
lambs. Good and fine qualities sold readily, at full prices ;
otherwise, the •lamb trade was quiet. There was a fair
demand for calves, at late rates. The pork trade was
quiet, on former terms.

It was ultimately arranged thatplatthews should allow
the Railway Company to pay over the £lOO to an officer of
the Court, and the order of discharge was adjourned once
more.

Josiah Arrowsmith was indicted with having committed
wilful and corrupt perjury.

The proceedings were instituted in consequence of what
had taken place in the Bankruptcy Court. By one of the
clauses of the Act it is provided that any person in debt
may enter into a deed of arrangement with his
creditors, and if three-fourths in number and amount
agree to accept a compromise the other fourth must come
in to that arrangement. The allegation against the pri-
soner is that he made out a false statement of his affairs
and that the names of such persons were set down in the
list produced by the prisoner for the approbation of his
creditors wore fictitious. Tho name of William Frost, his
father-in-law, was put down for .£650.
This witness was called, and he stated that he had never
lent the prisoner any money, but that he signed the
statement at the timo not knowing the amount set against
his name.

Another witness, named Proudman, also stated that he
had signed the deed, but the amount set against his name
had been altered from £l7 to £27. He did not, however,
owe the prisoner any money, but signed the paper to
oblige him.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.

Baron Bramwell, in sentencing the prisoner, told him
that a more barefaced, outrageous piece of roguery rhad
never come before him, and for which there was neither
excuse nor justification. The law usually dealt leniently
with prisoners, but where it was shown that that circum-
stance had been taken into consideration, he felt that the
Court ought, on proof of that, to deal very severely with
the prisoner guitly of such an offence. In the present in-
stance there was no haste, no anger, all had been done
with the utmost coolness and deliberation, and he should
sentence him to two years' imprisonment with hard
labour.
