COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

IN RE H. RUSSELL.

This bankrupt was described as a vocalist, and came up
to-day upon the question of his last examination and dis-
charge. This was an in forma pauperis petition, and Mr.
Aldridge, the Crown Solicitor, did not offer any opposition.
The bankrupt said he cluld not recollect when he was
arrested, but thought it was two months ago. He did not
recollect the name of the creditor who arrested him, but it
was upon a bill which he endorsed fer a person of the name
of Brooks, at Liverpool, about ten years ago.
Mr. Aldridge—You don't appear to have a very reten-
tive memory.

Bankrupt—Yes, I have; but I am net accustomed to
these matters.

Commissioner—You have been in difficulties.
Bankrupt—Yes, and I have lost engagements through it.
I have done nothing for two months.
The Commissioner hoped it would be a caution to the
bankrupt nut to put hi■ sauna to a hill again.
Bankrupt—That I won't, not for my own brother.
The Commissioner—You are discharged.
The usual order was thEn given.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr and a Common Jury.)
♦ PUNCTUAL I-UDC/E.-A. SCENE IN COURT.
To-day was an old Sheriffs' Court day, and the causes
had been sent down from the superior Courts for trial. At
about five minutes to 10 the jury were called, and at pre-
cisely ten o'clock the judge took his seat. The first cam)
was called and the plaintiff answered, informing the Court
that his counsel would be " here in a minute"

Mr. Kerr—Strike it out.
One of the officers recommended that it should stand
over for a minute or two.
His Honour (looking at tho clock, then two minutes past
ten.) No. Strike it out. Call the next,

Officer—Rapp v. Andrews.
Mr. Gibbons—l am here for the defendant.

His Honour—Does any one answer for the plaintiff.
No answer being returned, his Honour said " you may go,
gentlemen." (Laughter.)
It was now three minutes past ten, and his Honour
hastily left the judgment seat: A.-seene Of almost indescrib-
able confusion ensued. The jury rushed out of the box and
a counsel hastened upstairs from the- -Waiting room. He
appeared for the plaintiff in the first case; and he "never
heard of such conduct." The jury, itt high glee, assured
the indignant counsel that the case had been called. It
was now four minutes past ten, and a gentleman arrived
with some law books. " You're too late," shouted the
jurymen. Soon after this soma witnesses arrived, and to
all was the same answer given. A; five minutes past ten
the judge had left the building, and so was to be seen au
extraordinary instance of speedy
law : a
jury sworn, two
cases called, struck out, and jury discharged—all in less
than five minutes. In justice to the indignant counsel, it
should be stated that the case was only called in court, and
not outside the door et the top of the stairs, in which latter
case the gentleman alluded to, who was in the Court-house
before ten o'clock, would have answered.

MARKETS---THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were small. The trade, however, was very dull,
and sales could only be effected by submitting to further
reduced rates. _ _

There was a good show of foreign wheat, and where sales
were forced, prices ruled decidedly in favour of buyers.
Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and the
currencies had a downward tendency.

There were scarcely any samples of malting barley on
offer. Grinding and distilling qualities sold heavily, and
the quotations were barely supported.
In malt sales progressed slowly, at about previous rates.
Good and fine oats were in steady request, at full prices ;
but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur-
rencies. _ _ _

_
Beans and peas were unchanged in value, but the inquiry
for, them ruled very inactive.

The flour trade was dull, and Monday's quotations were
with difficulty maintained.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY;

GAROTTING A PußLlc.uf.—Two young men, named
Mark Barnett, and Henry Sweetlove, were brought before
Mr. Henry on remand, charged with garotting and robbing
Mr. James Wilson, a publican.

Mary Farley said—l was in White Lion-street, St. Giles,
on Monday evening last, when I saw some men, amongst
whom were the two prisoners leading a gentleman along
who was bleeding very much from a wound in the face.
They commenced pushing him about. I wont over to them
and told them not to ill-treat the gentleman, when I heard
one of the prisoners say "Ding it." I have since heard
that the gentleman had been robbed of his gold spectacles.
Mr. James Wilson said—l am a licensed victualler, and
carry on business at 123, Drury-lane. On Monday last I
left my house of business about 7 o'clock in the evening for
my residence in Camden-town, and as I was proceeding to
the omnibus in Tottenham-court-road, and when near
White Lion-street, Seven Dials, some persons came behind
me, and seized me by the collar of my coat, and then I re-
ceived a violent blow in the face, which rendered me for
some minutes perfectly senseless. I was lifted up by some
persons, and then I found I had been robbed of my gold
eye-glass. The injuries 1 received wore so severe that for
three or four days I was incapable of attending to business.
Police-constable Ackrill said both prisoners NT ere the
constant associates of thieves.

Barnett said—The woman is mistaken in me. I've got
good work, and have no need to steal.
Mr. Henry—The female witness swears positively that
you were one of the parties with the gentleman when she
went over to protect him.

Ackrill asked for a remand, in order to allow him time to
apprehend two other persons who V7PrP ooneerneil with the
prisoners in the robbery. _
•-

The magistrate granted the application.

MARLBOROUGH .STREET, THIS DAY.

CABS AND CAB HORSES.—CAUTION TO CAB OWNERS.
—Mr. Robert Woolley, a cab proprietor, of Warren-mews,
attended to answer a complaint of causing a horse to be tor-
tured by being used in a cab while in an unfit state.
It was proved by Sergeant Davey, 17 C, and Mr. Cherry,
the veterinary surgeon to the police, that the horse was in
a vary bad state, greatly diseased, and totally unfit to be
used.

Defendant said there was nothing the matter with it, and
he would not mind betting his worship £5 that it would do
12 miles in an hour. (Laughter.)

Mr. Knox, after commenting on the defendant's conduct
in sending out a horse in such a state, fined him 20s. and

costs.

Mr. Cherry said the defendant had other horses which
had been complained of.

Mr. Knox said the defendant had better be careful, for if
he came before him again he probably shourd commit him
without a fine.

The driver of the cab, Benton, was fined ss, and costs for
using the horse. _

Alfred Jenks, badge 13,478, was fined ss. and costs for
using a cab in an unfit state, the cab being a Hansom.
A hackney .carriage' 'attendant, named Green, proved
seeing the defendant's cab on the stand in Conduit-street,
with several spokes in both wheels loose and broken.
The witness, in answer to a question, said the cab alto-
gether was in an unfit state for public use—in fact, it aas
dangerous to use it.
James Clark was charged as follows :

Sergeant Joy, 9 C, proved seeing the prisoner the previ-
ous evening pushing among a number of persons assembled
rcund a glove shop window in Regent-street, and particu-
larly keeping his eye on the pockets of two foreign gentle-
men. He watched the prisoner and saw him feeling the
pockets of the gentlemen and then walk to the Haymarket,
when he took the prisoner into custody.
Prisoner—Now did you not say that:you would take me
and give me a drag ? That's three months, your worship.
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said the prisoner had been tried at
the Old Bailey and sentenced to 12 months for robbing a
a man of a watch.

Prisoner—Why he wasn't worth one. (Laughter.)
Sergeant Cole said that previous to receiving the 12
months prisoner had had 10 years' penal servitude, and he
was only discharged last week at Bow-street.
Committed for three months.
