IN RE TURNER.

Tbis bankrupt was a licensed victualler and builder at
Penge, Surrey, and this was a meeting for last examination
and discharge.

Mr. Brough appeared for the bankrupt, Mr. Dowse and
Mr. Redpath for creditors, and Mr. Sorrell, Mark-lane, for
the assignees.

The opposing creditors asked for an adjournment sine
die, without protection, as the bankrupt had not filed any

accounts.

Mr. Sorrell said he could see no good from such a pro-
ceeding. The assignees wanted to get accounts from the
bankrupt, and it was not the way to get them by depriving
him of protection from arrest, as men could not make cut
accounts in prison so well as when they had liberty and fru
access to their books and papers. He (Mr. Sorrell) there-
fore thought it desirable that a day should be named, with
protection.

Mr. Brough said the cause of delay was the illness of the
bankrupt—and asked an adjournment, with protection, till
the 27th March.

Mr. Sorrell suggested that as there were many creditors
desirous of proving the proofs should be sent to him for
examination before the next meeting.
The list was very long (nearly 80 causes) chiefly first
meetings disposed of by the Registrars.

POLICE I.NTELLIGENCB.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OP STEALING A CORONER'S WATCH AND
CHAlN.—Sarah Evans, a prostitute, was charged with.
stealing a watch and chain from Mr. James Teague, coroner
and magistrate, of Highe House, Blakeney, Gloucester-
shire.

On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Tyrwhit t
asked where the prosecutor was?
Godwin, 206 C, said the gentleman was in liquor that
morning, and that might perhaps account for his not being.
present. The gentleman was a coroner, and he thought he
would attend.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked what the charge was ?
The constable said for stealing a watch and chain.
It appears that Mr. Teague went into a public-house in
Holborn and had some drink with the prisoner, and left
with her in a cab, and on arriving at the Black Horse, in
Coventry-street, missed his watch. The prisoner was
searched, but the watch and chain were not found, and the
cab had driven away, and Mr. Teague gave the prisoner in
charge.

After waiting some time, prisoner was discharged, no
prosecutor appearing.

TEE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE.

The adjourned coroner's inquiry relative to the circum-
stances attending the death of Mr. John Wincott, lately
carrying on the business of a butcher in South•-street,
Manchester-square, was resumed this morning by Mr.
Humphreys, at the Bedford Arms, South-street, Man-
chester-square.

•It will be recollected that the four men, Quail, Walsh,
Cox, and Poulton, on Monday week created a disturbance
in front of the shop of the deceased, and that in his en-
deavour to prevent Quail assaulting Byles, he (Quail)
seized one of the knives lying on the shop board and
',lunged it into Mr. Wincott's abdomen with such vio-
lence that death ensued in a very short time afterwards.
After the evidence, which was the same as that given at
the Marylebone Police-court, had been completed,
The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against all
the four prisoners.
