LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day.

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

IN RE WEST-DISMISSAL OF A PETITION IN "FORMA
PAUPERIS" ON THE GROUND OF FRAUD.

This bankrupt, Mary 'West, w,s a lodginghouse-keeper
at the West-end, and applied a few days since on her own
petition in forma pauperis, but in the course of her exami-
nation she admitted that she was in the receipt of a pension
of £l3O a year.
His Honour now, in giving judgment, said that in these
cases persons with means sought to obtain for nothing that
for which they were able to pay. He considered this was
an attempt to impose upon the Court. In this case it
was very clear, and he should therefore order that the peti-
tion be dismissed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STREET RUFFIANISM.—DougIas Crawford, of Lower
Phillimore-place, Kensington, engineer, was charged, be•
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt, with assaulting Mr. Henry Brock,
butcher, of 4, Hooper's-court, Knightsbridge, and also
Mrs. Hannah Brock, the wife of the complainant.
Mr. Brock said that at half-past eleven the previous night
he was on his way home with his wife, in Piccadilly, when
he saw the defendant and another young man going along
in front of them. One of the young men caught a female
in his arms and insulted her. Not wishing to have any-
thing to do with the defendant and his companion, he with
his wife stepped aside to avoid them ; the defendant dropped
his walking stick off his shoulder into his wife's bonnet.
On expostulating with the defendant, his friend said "Let
him have it," and the defendant then struck him in the face
and knocked him down, and while on the ground struck him
several times, cutting the inside of his mouth. Au omnibus
man called out to the defendant that he was a coward not
to let him (complainant) get up, and a soldier then came
up and pulled the defendant off, and on complaining to a
constable whom he had previously warned of the defendant's
conduct, the defendant struck him again.
Mrs. Emma Brock proved that defendant put the stick
on her bonnet, and she was afraid that it would have gone
in her eye.

A constable proved seeing the defendant strike the com-
plainant.

Defendant, in answer:to the charge, said that a female
rushed upon him and his companion, and they afterwards
went on, when the complainant seized his stick and broke
it, and he felt exasperated and struck the complainant.
Mr. Francis Gilbertson, a clerk in the office of the Recife
and San Francisco Railway Company, was called by the
defendant, and said that while in Piccadilly a female rushed
up to him. He, with the defendant, left her, and then
went on. While passing the complainant and his wife the
defendant's stick was suddenly seized by the complainant,
and a scuffle ensued, and the defendant struck complainant -
and on the complainant speaking to a constable the defen-
dant struck complainant again.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defence was a very meagre one.
The witness wanted him (Mr. Tyrwhitt) to believe that
complainant seized the defendant's stick without any pro-
vocation - a very unlikely thing. The defendant had acted
very roughly towards the defendant, and he should fine
him for the assault on the female, or two months, and
£2 or two months for the a=sault on the complainant.
ROBBING A LIEUTENANT.—A private of the Coldstream
Guards, named Walt(r Shartics, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with stealing a breastpin of the value of £2,
the property of Lieutenant Brabszon Harlowes. The
evidence of the prosecutor was to the t fleet that he aiet two
soldiers in the Haymtaket and treated them to drink, and
lost his breastpin, of the value of £2, while in their com-
pany.

William Ballend, employed at the Black Horse in the
Haymarket, deposed to seeing the prisoner put his arm
round prosecutor's side and take out his pin, and then go
out of the house.

A young man said he heard the prisoner say that he hail
taken the pin but thrown it away.
Stephen Smith, 326 A, proved taking the prisoner into
custody, and that he was very violent on the way to the
station, kicking him several times.

The prisoner's sergeant gave him an indifferent char-
acter.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Tyrwhitt, in com-
mitting bim for two months, with hard labour, said be
could not understand how a gentleman—a lieutenant in
the army—could treat soldiers- to drink in a public-house
