LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OP BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

:11 RE THE HON. RICHARD BETHELL-THE LORD CHANCEL-

LOR'S SON APPLYING FOR HIS RELEASE.

This morning an application was made by Mr. Chidley,
on behalf of the petitioning creditor, Mr. Yates, money lender,
of Harley-street, that the Hon. Richard Bothell, now in
custody of the Sheriff of Berkshire, at Reading Gaol, should
be released under an order of this Court, an adjudication
in bankruptcy having been made hero on Tuesday. Tho
case was in the list of Mr. Registrar Winslow, but Mr.
Commissioner Goulburn, after some communication with
that gentleman, announced that he would hear the appli-
cation himself.

Upon the Commissioner taking his seat, he said—l have
been requested by the Lord Chancellor to take this case,
although it was originally balloted to Mr. Registrar Win-
slow, the acting commissioner; but as tho official assignee
in Mr. Winslow's court is a relation of the applicant, it was
felt it would be painful in the extreme to take the matter
there.

Mr. Chidley—l quite agree in what has fallen from your
honour, and, as there will be no opposition in the matter,
the course to be pursued will be easy.
His Honour—Before I proceed in the matter I must re-
quest that my registrar attend, so that we may be in form.

Mr. llazlitt came into the room, and his honour, putting
tho forms upon which the application was made into his
hand, inquired what notice was usual in these casos.

litt—l believe that the usual notice is two clear

days.
Hi's Honour—When was the notice given in this case ?
Mr. Chidley—On Monday, and here the creditor lives in
London, and the attorney also. _ _

His Honour—Mr. Registrar Winslow made an order of
great importance in these cases, and he has laid down a
rule that I shall follow. I wish to be informed by him
whether the notice is to be governed by the residence of
the debtor or of the creditor.

Mr. Registrar Winslow (who was sent for by his Honour)
—The rule I have laid down is that notice is to be governed
by the residence of the creditor.

His Honour—And not by that of the debtor ?
Mr. Registrar Winslow—When the creditor lives in
London the time for giving the notice is two clear days.
His Honour—l see that in this case the notice was given
on Monday, so that would be two clear days. Does any
one oppose the order ?
Mr. Chidley—No one.

His Honour—Then the order is granted.
It appears that Mr. Parkyns, official assignee, in Mr.
Registrar Winslow's court, is brother-in-law to the Hon. R.
Bethel!, and this was the relationship alluded to by his
Honour. It is also stated that the arrest of the bankrupt
upon Ascot race-course is a pure invention, but until the
first meeting for choice of assignees no reliable statements
can be furnished. The debts are believed to be heavy, but
in the absence of accounts no amount has been yet put on
the file.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

WHAT IS A FELONY P—Jamos Connor, a low-looking
fellow, was charged with stealing a hat, value 55., from
the person of Robert Gillaspi.

Robert Gillaspi said that last Tuesday week there had
been a disturbance in George-street, Chelsea, where he
kept a wardrobe-shop. At about 10 o'clock at night he
left his home in company with his wife, and was imme-
diately set upon by a mob of costermongers, who pelted
them with stones. His wife and himself were repeatedly
struck and wounded by the stones, and his hat was knocked
off several times. They proceeded towards Pimlico-station,
and the prisoner came up and knocked his hat off, and
kicked it along the ground. Ho did not see it picked up,
but had not seen it since. He gave no provocation.
Elizabeth Gillaspi, wife of the prosecutor, proved that
when the hat was knocked off the prisoner picked it up
and ran off with it, pursued by her husband, who, how-
ever, failed to catch him. He got away with it.
Sergeant Andrews, 30 B, said that there was great feel-
ing against these parties. Mrs. Gillaspi had spoiled some
strawberries belonging to a costermonger in the court, and
had been ordered to pay 20s. by the magistrate on Wednes-
day. A case of abuse against Mrs. Gillaspi had also been
heard but dismissed. There had been great disturbances
in the place for some time.

Mr. Arnold asked prisoner where the hat was.
Prisoner said he knew nothing of it, but made a state-
ment to the effect that the disturbance was caused by pro-
secutor and his wife, and that the hat was off several times.
Mr. Arnold said this ought not to have been treated as a
felony. They should either have proceeded against pri-
soner for assault, or gone to the County Court. He should
discharge the prisoner.

Prisoner was then discharged, some surprise being
expressed at the decision from the body of the court.
