COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.)
IN RE LORD HENRY GORDON.-A GOOD DIVIDEND.
In the matter of this bankruptcy, which has been before
the Court on many occasions recently, a dividend meeting
was held to-day. The amount of debts already proved is
£720 and the cash in hand £566. A resolution was carried
declaring a dividend of 12s. 6d. in the pound, and the credi-
tors will have the usual intimation of the date of payment
by advertisement.

[N RE JONATHAN MATTHEWS.-THE MULLER'S REWARD
QUESTION FINALLY SETTLED.-A DIVIDEND FOR THE
CREDITORS.

This bankrupt has been before the Court upon so many
occasions that it is quite needless to enter into any state-
ment as to the particulars of his case. It will be sufficient
to state here that tho bankrupt having enabled the police to
discover and apprehend Muller, the murderer of the late
Mr. Briggs, became entitled to a sum of £3OO offered as a
reward by the Government, Robarts, Curtis, and Co.'s
Bank, and the North London Railway Company. After
some delay the money was paid, and a question arose as to
whether the bankrupt should have a portion of it. Mr.
Commissioner Holroyd directed that all the reward should
be paid into the hands of the officer of the court, less cer-
tain costs incurred by the trade assignee.

To-day Mr. Knight, from the office of Mr. Beard, attorney
to the creditors' assignees, attended for the purpose of
settling a dividend. The debts proved aro £570, and the
cash in hand £240. A first dividend of ss. in the pound
was declared, and the creditors agreed to grant Matthews
an allowance of £5O. The date of the payment of the
dividend will be advertised in the usual manner.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

THE ORGAN GRINDING NUlSANCE.—Guisseppe Mamba,
an Italian organ grinder, was brought from the Pimlico
station charged with unlawfully continuing to play after
being ordered to remove from opposite the house of a
gentleman named Kaanig, at the corner of Westbourne-
place, Pimlico.

Complainant said that defendant came opposite his door
last evening, when he went out and ordered him to go
away, and ho refused.
Mr. Arnold—What reason had you to send him away ?
Complainant—The state of my health is not good. I
have suffered a great deal hom fever, and the playing is a
great nuisance to me.
Mi. Arnold—What did defendant say when you told him
to go away.

Complainant—He said "Lady," pointing to a parlour
window where Mrs. Sinnott was, denoting that she was
encouraging him to play, although I did not see her do
anything. She is the wife of Dr. Sennett, who lives oppo-
site to me, and encourages these organmen to play.
Mr. Arnold—Why not represent to the lady that this is
an annoyance to you ?
Complainant—She is fully aware of it, and so is her
husband.

Mr. Arnold—Let the police call and tell this lady that if
she encourages an organ-man to play in front of Mr.
Kcenig's house after he is desired to leave, that she will be
liable to the same punishment as the organ-man. (To
complainant.) Next time you have necessity to sena a
man away playing an organ oppOsite both your houses
send to Mrs. Sennett and tell her it is an annoyance.
Complainant—l shall be sending all the day.
Mr. Arnold—Do as I have stated, and if any offence is
committed after that by encouragement, come here and I
will deal with the lady. She had better be cautioned.

Defendant said he was very sorry ; he was encouraged to
play by the lady, or he should not have remained.
He was discharged on entering into recognisances to
come up for judgment on a future day.
