LAW INTELLIGENOE.—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRErPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE DRESSER AND CO.-HEAVY MERCANTILE FAILURE,

Thess bankrupts are described as merchants, of 14, Great
St. Helen's, and to-day was appointed for the order of
discharge. The accounts show—Debtor to creditors, un-
secured, £45,181; ditto, holding security, £31,185; liabi-
lities expected to rank against the estate, £27,963 ; liabi-
lities on bills, £53,137 ; total, £157,520. Creditor, by good
debts, £12,080 ; doubtful, £3,483 ; property given up,

a deficiency of £58,115. Tho largest creditors are Messrs.
Overend, Gurney, and Co., who claim over £20,000.
The solicitor for the assignees applied for an adjourn-
ment, in order that the accounts might be properly inves-
tigated, the figures being very large.
Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, did not object, and the
case stood over until a future day.

SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Dasent.)
BURGESS V. ROGERS.

This was a judgment summons, and Barrow, who repre-
sented the defendant, applied for a suspension of the order
of committal under rather important circumstances. Plain-
tiff and defendant (relatives) were co-executors under a will
which directed that the funeral of the testator should not
cost more than £l2. Plaintiff was the undertaker who
supplied the funeral, and it came to £lB, he having sued
his co-executor for the account, and recovered a verdict.
Now, the testator had, with four or five other gentlemen,
constituted a loan society, and ho (Mr. Barrow) had in his
hand a book showing the balance due to the deceased to
be £6O. What was now asked was that the plaintiff should
be directed to furnish the defendant with an account.
Plaintiff stated that he had no account to furnish.

In the course of the causo it was stated that an offer of
ss. in the pound had been made upon the loan account,
and that the cause had been tried at Croydon five years
ago, when it was ruled that the testator had been a part-
ner with the other members of the loan society, and could
not sue.

His Honour advised the parties not to rush heedlessly
into equity, but to settle the matter.
The Registrar pointed out if ss. in the pound were
allowed on the loan account the present proceedings could
be settled.

Plaintiff replied that there were no funds now, and his
honour ruled that he could not suspend the summons upon
the present application, but must make an order of com-
mittal for ten days, the warrant to lie in the office for six
weeks, iu order that proceedings in equity might be opened
if parties were so advised.

POLICE INTELLIGENC.E.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

Albert Cullen, a barman, lately in the employ of Mr.
Mason, the landlord of the Red Lion public-house, Prince's-
street, Drury-lane, was placed at the bar, charged with
creating a disturbance and assaulting the police-constable.
The complainant said last night shortly before the house
closed, the prisoner made use of an offensive expression
towards him, and he told him that if he did not express his
regret, he had better put on his things and go. He said
he would do so, and left the bar, after which he went into
the street, and, by his conduct, collected a large crowd
outside of the house. He used very abusive language, and
became so noisy that a policeman was sent for, and he
was given into custody.

Police-constable F 49 said, when he took the prisoner
into custody he (prisoner) struck him a blow in the mouth
and destroyed his hat.

Mr. Mason said he had no desire to damage the prisoner's
character, but if ho would apologise ho would be perfectly
satisfied.

The Magistrate—But the law won't be satisfied. He
assaulted the officer in the execution of his duty. What is
the value of the hat.

The constable said about fourteen shillings.
The Magistrate—Then I fine the prisoner 40s.
Prisoner—l shan't pay tho fine.
The Magistrate—Then you must go to prison for 21
days. _

Prisonor—Woll, I can do that.
He was then locked up.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STABBING BY A BOY EIGHT YEARS OLD.—Oliver Crom-
well Hurle, eight years old, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt with assaulting another little boy, named Matthew
Collier, by stabbing him with a knife.

Polly Hennessey, an intelligent little girl, residing at
No. 2, Archer-street, Windmill-street, said—On Saturday,
just as I was passing a public-house at the corner of
Archer-street, I saw Hurlo run after another little boy,
named Matthew Collier, and when near a post stab him
with a knife. Matthew Collier cried out "Oh !" and then
began crying.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls Collier here ?
Witness—Oh, no, sir, ho is in bed ; he can't stand.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Whore was he stabbed ?
Witness—ln the thigh, sir.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—What sort of a knife was it ?
Witness—lt was like a penknife.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls Collier's mother hero ?
Witness—Yes, sir.
Mrs. Eliza Collier, of 24, Regent-street, said—On Satur-
day evening my boy was brought home, having a wound
in the inside of his thigh an inch and a half long.
The following certificate was handed to Mr. Tyr-
what :

"I hereby certify a little boy, named Matthew Collier,
was brought to me with an incised wound of the buttock.
I have also attended him at his own house, and it is im-
possible to say for a few days the result of such a wound.
Wm. HENRY 11A-Pars, Surgeon.
33, Great Windmill-street, Oct. 9.
Maisey, 160 0, said—Seeing a groat crowd in Great
Windmill-street, I went up and found a boy had been
stabbed. The injured boy was taken to a surgeon. I after-
wards want to 28, Regent-street, and took the prisoner
into custody. On asking the prisoner where the knife was
ho said it was behind a box in his father's room, and there
I found it.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is a shoemaker's knife ? •
Constable—lt is, sir.
Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)—llow old aro you ?
Prisoner—Eight.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—And you have begun with stabbing a
boy. I shall have to romand you for a wook. If I had not
soon so much as I have, I should have said I was sur-
prised ; but I am not.

The prisoner was removed from the court, calling out
ror his mother.

WESTMINSTER.

STEALING A CIIILI).—A poor countrywoman applied to
Mr. Selfe wader the following circumstances :
She said her name was Thompson, and she lived at
Maidstone. Last Monday a tall man stole her child at the
breast, 10 months old, from a house at Lewes, near Maid-
stone. She left the child in the house, and while she
went out for a moment the man left the house, and took the
child and other property belonging to her. She and her

husband had come to town to look after their boy, and
had exhausted all their means, and they now wished tho
magistrate's assistance and advice.

In reply to questions from Mr. Selfe, sho could not assign
any reason foe the robbery ; the child had on a red frock,
brown jacket, and white hat trimmed with blue velvet.
The police had been informed, and they were making in-
quiries. Ho was a sort of traveller, and was described as
living in Westminster.
Mr. Selfe said no doubt the child would soon turn up.
The mother said that was no consolation for the felony
that had been committed.
The husband stepped forward, and said soon after the

child was missed he saw a companion of the man who stole
the child, and he fetched the police, but they treated the
matter lightly and let him go. The man's name was Tom
Brown, or he was more commonly called "Dublin Tom."
He was about 30 years of age, and was usually alone.
Mr. Selfe said no doubt the press would do all they
could to assist them in their search, and the applicant
thanked his worship and retired.

0 UTHWARK.
A JUVENILE PICKPOCKET.—Thomas Rutt, a young lad
of about 13 years of age, was charged before Mr. IVoolrych
this morning with stealing a handkerchief from the pocket
of a man whose name was not known, and who did not
appear to prosecute.

197 L stated that about nine o'clock on Saturday even-
ing he was on duty in the New-cut, and saw the prisoner,
who was in company with another boy, prowling
about. lie had no previous knowledge of them, but his
suspicions being aroused he watched their movements, and
saw the prisoner take the handkerchief out of the man's
pocket. lie then seized them, and the prisoner denied any
knowledge of the handkerchief. lie saw him drop it ou
the ground.

The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was sen-
tenced to six months' imprisonment.
A CAUTION TO THE BENEVOLENT.—Henry Miller, a
middle-aged man, dressed in shabby-genteel attire, was
charged with begging under the following circumstances.
From the evidence of 225 M it appeared that while he
was on duty in the London-road, on Saturday evening, he
saw the defendant, who pretended to be selling matches,
receive money from different passers-by. He had a large
and attractive placard in front of him, and three young
children, dressed in the same style. The placard set forth
that he was in great distress, and the children were placed
in a very artistic position so as to excite the benevolence
of those who were more charitably disposed than ac-
quainted with the numerous impositions resorted to by the
street beggars who infest, more particularly, the thorough-
fares at the other side of the Thames. When taken into
custody the prisoner said that he was merely selling
matehes and not begging, the object of the placard being
to induce people to purchase from him, but not to got
money from them as a mere mendicant. He subsequently
stated that he had recently lost his wife, and that his
last child was only three weeks old, and unable to obtain
means for the support of himself and young family.
Three shillings and some half-pence were found on the
prisoner. The three children who had been with the pri-
soner were produced, and the eldest appeared to be about
8 years of ago.

Mr. Woolrych said there was no doubt that prisoner
conducted his operations in an artistic manner, and turned
the children to profitable account. lie got by his idleness
more, on an average, than many a hard-working man for
his day's labour by means of the deception practised on the
credulous public. For the sake of his children he would
not inflict any punishment on him this time, but if he wero
brought before him again ho would send him to prison for
one month.

THAMES.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A CABMAN-LICENSE REVOKED,

—Thomas Bird Hutchinson, a cabdriver, of 71, Randolph-
row, Pimlico, was brought up on remand before Mr. Part-
ridge, charged with being drunk and disorderly in the
East India-dock-road, Poplar, on Friday morning last, a
few minutes before 3 o'clock, and he was also charged with
suffering two persons to ride on his cab without the con-
sent of the person who hired him.

Tho case was clearly made out by a police-constable,
named William Elliott, No. 261 K, who saw the prisoner
drive his cab in a very reckless manner about the road, and
that the persons he had invited to ride with him wore very
noisy and disorderly. The gentleman who hired the cab
was very much alarmed, and believed he should have been
robbed or ill-used if the police bad not interfered.
The master of the prisoner said he was a person of bad
character, and good for nothing. The prisoner had been
in prison for a month some time ago.

The prisoner said he had only been convicted of loitering,
and that the fare had been consulted since he was re-
manded, and was not desirous the case should be pressed
against him.
Mr. Partridge said ho should believe the sworn evidence
which he heard on Friday and was confirmed this
morning. The prisoner was a man of bad character,
and it appeared from his license that he had five masters
in a very short time, that ho had been in prison,
and that ho had somo difficulty in obtaining
a license from the Commissioners of Police. The license
had been suspended formerly, and ho should now take care
that the prisoner should not drive a cab in the metropolis
again. He was reluctant to adopt this extreme step, but
his duty to the public was paramount to every other con-
sideration. A drunken cab-driver was a nuisance, and he
might have run down and killed some one. He fined the
prisoner 40s. for the first offence or 21 days' imprisonment
and 20s. for the second offence or 7 days' imprisonment,
and he revoked the prisoner's license, which would be sent
with the revoke upon it to the Commissioners of Police for
the Metropolis and cancelled.
The prisoner was then committed to prison for three
weeks.

SHAVING A SAILOR.-Mr. Gomm, clerk to Mr. Hodgson,
solicitor, applied to Mr. Partridge for a summons against
Henry Elgar, lodvinz-house keeper, 8, New-road, St
George's-in-the-East, for detaining £ll 115. 40., tne money
of Patriok Shea, a seaman, who came home in the ship
Conference, of Liverpool. The seaman received £lB when
paid off, and deposited the whole of the money with Elgar
except 7s. and the price of a quart of beer. Elgar charged
£8 for a suit of clothes the sailor was now wearing. The
cost of them was £3 only. There had been charged ls. 6d.
for a shave.
Mr. Partridge—He has been shaved well.

Mr. Gomm—Yes, sir ; it is a clean shave—(laughter)—
and Elgar has detained £ll lls 4d. of the sailor's money.
Mr. Partridge—Take your summons. I am astonished
that seamen don't go to the Sailors' Homo in Well-street,
Poplar, where they are well treated•
