LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE GOLDSMITH.

This was the last examination meeting in the case of
Lionel Goldsmith, merchant, of Queen-street, Cheapside.
The bankrupt was the liquidating member of the late
firm of Goldsmith Brothers, the other partners being
Samuel Goldsmith, deceased, and S. Setae. The ac-
counts prepared by Messrs. Hart Brothers, extended
from the Ist January, 1852, to the 29th October last,
and showed a sum of 5,2571. due to creditors, with 1,1081.
of liabilities. The assets are considerable, comprising
2,5621. in good debts, 1,9571. doubtful ditto, and 1,6321.
of property. The bankrupt had a capital of 461. at the
period when the accounts commenced, the profits had
been 2,8791., and Setze had advanced 1,958/. for a share
in the business. The trade expenses and rent amounted
to 400/. ; discount, 1,1311. ; travelling expenses, 4331. ;
drawn out by Samuel Goldsmith, 412/. ; by the bank-
rupt, 2341. ; and by Setze, 130/. ; losses by bad debts,
1,2371.
Mr. Reed stated that the assignees had not the slight-
est objection to the bankrupt passing.
After some trifling amendments were made in the
balance sheet,
His Honour said the case was a very singular one, and
apparently one of great misfortune. The report of Mr.
Pennell, the official assignee, stated that the circum-
stances of the case were such as to call for great sympathy
from the creditors, and to entitle the bankrupt to the
favourable consideration of the court. It appeared that
in May last, his brother, Samuel Goldsmith, had left
England for the purpose of prosecuting the business of
the partnership on the continent ; but in July last he was
accidentally killed by falling from a precipice in Switzer-
land. The news of the distressing calamity reached the
bankrupt on the 27th of the same month ; and, beine,
apprehensive of the consequences, he immediately placed
his affairs in the hands of his creditors, with the sole view
of ensuring a just and equitable distribution of his assets.
He had not done this under any pressure, for he' had at
once handed over to the official assignee a balance of up-
wards of 5001. which he had in cash and at his bankers.
The balance-sheet had been prepared from the books,
which were very satisfactorily kept.
The bankrupt then passed, and a day was named for
the certificate meeting.
POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

MANSION-HOUSE...-E. Chapman, a female of very
respectable appearance and excellent character, who
keeps a shop in the neighbourhood of Crutched Friars,
was charged with having purchased several pieces of
wood, the property of Messrs. Rigby, the contractors
for certain works on the Blackwall Railway, knowing
that they were stolen.
Several small children, who had been frequently seen
about the works, which are completely exposed' to, and
visited by, petty depredators, and some of whom had
been followed by the active detectives to the louse of
Mrs. Chapman, were placed at the bar at the same time,
and confidential men in the employment of the Contrac-
tors were called to give evidence upon the occasion.
It was stated upon the part of the prosecutionthatin.
numerable robberies bad been lately committed on the
extensive and almost unprotected ground by children,
whose small size afforded facilities to the system of theft,
by which very considerable plunder was effected ;
that the contractors had for some time given up all
thought of prosecuting the poor wretched little creatures,
but had determined in every instance in which they could
find a receiver of any of their goods, to adopt the most
rigid mode of proceeding which the law afforded. A
quantity of wood, in pieces of different sizes, part of
which was identified as having been stolen from the
works, was produced.
A great number of men of the very highest respecta-
bility in the ward of Aldgate crowded the benches in the
justice-room, in readiness to depose as to the excellent
character of the defendant, whom they declared they had
known upwards of 30 years. Several of these gentlemen
swore that they did not believe Mrs. Chapman , capable
of the offence of purchasing stolen property with the
slightest suspicion that it had been stolen, or of any
other offence, and the utmost interest was excited
throughout the proceedings.
Mr. Hobler appeared for the defence, and, adding his
own testimony to that of the witnesses, submitted that
the complete exposure of the pieces of wood all about
the public thoroughfare, amounted to an apparent aban‘
donment of the property, which was from time to time
taken away by any one who chose to stoop for it.
The Lord Mayor, after a very long and strict investi-
gation, said his impression was that the defendant was
not capable of the heinous vice of buying stolen goods
from children, but she had certainly rendered herself
liable to the consequences of having violated the clause
in the act, inflicting a penalty for not havinc, exercised
due caution, and, under the circumstances, he felt bound
to inflict the penalty of 51. under that clause.
The fine was paid. The children were delivered to
their parents.

BOW-STREET.—A gentleman, whose name did not
transpire, waited upon Mr. Jardine to draw his attention
to the condition of a poor miserable-looking, half-naked
young girl whom he had found begging in Chancery-
lane, and who, for two or three years past, had been
regularly stripped, and sent into the streets during the
inclement season by her inhuman father.
The child was brought into court by a police. constable,
and was at once identified as a practised mendicant, al-
though only 10 or 12 years old. It was stated that she
usually begged in company with a sister, two years older,
who was one of the most artful beggars in London, and
was supposed to be at the present moment in gaol.
They were destitute of shoes and stockings, and had no
under-clothing of any kind. The skirts of their dirty
frocks, which they appeared to hold upon their backs
while sliufility, along in a crouchirn, attitude, were pur-
posely torn into slits so as to enable them
,to exhibit
their naked legs to passers-by, and they were provided
with scanty shawls, capable of affording no warmth;
but sufficient to enable them to conceal their rags, in a
moment, upon the approach of a policeman. The gen-
tleman stated that when he first saw the child now in
court, two or three winters ago, he was in the habit of
relieving her occasionally; but her habitual attendance
in the same part of the town, on the recurrence of se-
vere weather, satisfied him that he was oniy doing her a
Wrong to relieve her. He felt most anxious to do some-
thing for the permanent advantage of the girl—even if
only to get her removed from the neighbourhood to
which his professional occupation called him, and which
had been rendered positively miserable to him by the
abject wretchedness of this child.
A mendicity officer, who happened to be present, said
that the child was extremely deaf, owing -to cold and
fever. The father was a bricklayer's labourer, but he
lived entirely upon the earnings of the two children,
whose mother was dead. He had tried once to find the
father, by direction of Mr. Henry, hut the landlady
where he lived would give him no satisfactory informa-
tion respecting him, and he had never succeeded in
meeting with him.

Mr. Jardine fully sympathised with the gentleman
who had interested himself in the child's behalf, but the
difficulty in these cases had been chiefly created by the
public itself, to whom was attributed the entire respon-
sibility of the evils attending the system. So long as
street begging continued to be one of the most flourish-
ing of trades—so long as foolish people were induced to
give relief indiscriminately upon the faith of the poverty
and affliecjon exhibited professionally (and often with
extraordinary cleverness) in the public, streets----there
was little hope of any practical remedy being effected,
for if these children were sent to the workhouse or an
asylum, which they themselves invariably objected to,
as they lived well enough at home, their parents were
sure to have them out again within 1 week afterwards.
The gentleman left half a sovereign for the child, who
was, for the present, sent to the Strand Union.

CHAMBERS'S BANKRUPTCY.—We have to offer a short
comment on the career of a remarkable person—we
mean the late Abraham Henry Chambers—whose death
we have already recorded in the obituary of this journal.
Eminent as a London banker, nor less so for the bene•
volent turn of his mind, the unfair position in which any
one (be he but amenable to the bankrupt laws) may be
placed has rendered the case of Mr. Chambers 'and his
family one of yet deeper interest to the reflecting. It
has shown with what little discrimination the law deals
alike upon the fraudulent trader, whose insolvency is
exactly coeval with his first blustering on 'Change, and
the man
,whose fine estate was enabled, after a contest
of very many years and the squandering away of his
property to the amount of about 200,0001., to pay nearly
18s. in the pound. It offers some idea of the spirit of
the law whereby, year after year, the mere question of
whether this gentleman would or could be made a bank-
rupt cost alone no less than 50,000 e. Nor can we omit
another lesson it has manifestly recorded—that the law
considers itself as entitled, under the shadow of the
dreadful word "expediency," to put a "stopple" on the
efforts for redress of one whose estate was sufficient to
meet every demand, and yet leave his family a handsome
surplus. It is singular that the ultimate winding-up of
Mr. Chamber's affairs preceded his death (at the age of
91) by only a few days.

THE EASTERLY GALE.

TYNEiIOUTH, FRIDAY, Nom.'

A. fearful gale of wind from the east broke over the
coast of Northumberland yesterday afternoon, and the
sea rose with tremendous violence. The storm has
raged all night. Fortunately there were but few vessels
on the coast, the principal portion of the colliers that
left here a week ago having found a shelter either in
Leith roads or the Humber two or three days before.
Five or six loading colliers, however, which had been
beating about between the Tyne and Whitby since
Friday last, made an attempt to get into the Tyne yes-
terday afternoon, shortly after the gale came on ; but
one of them—a little brig named the Sylph—in taking
Tynemouth bar, was overwhelmed in a tremendous sea,
and for a short time it was thought she was gone, with
her crew, to the bottom ; but shortly she reap-
peared, though evidently in a disabled condition.
The sea had, in fact, knocked in her stern, un-
shipped her rudder, and nearly filled her with water.
The South Shields lifeboat immediately put out
to her assistance, and got to her just as she was ap-
proaching the dangerous reef named the " Black Mid-
dens," the crew being in a helpless condition in the
fore-rigging, and in danger every moment of being washed
into the sea, or going down with the sinking ship. The
, South Shields pilots in the lifeboat, fortunately, grappled
the forepart of the vessel, and her crew were enabled to
drop from the bowsprit of the vessel into the lifeboat and
were saved. The men were gallantly rescued. The
vessel drove in among the rocks near the " Old Priory"
shortly afterwards, and this morning hardly a vestige of
her remains. Her cargo and timbers are scattered along
the shore, hundreds of poor people being engaged in con-
veying the coals away to their homes, which they are
allowed to do unmolested. Three pilots, John Harri-
son, Ralph Harrison, and Thomas Tindle, had a very
narrow escape from drowning yesterday afternoon.
While they were lying within this bar a high sea came
in, overwhelmed their coble, which turned bottom up,
and threw them into the water. Thomas Tindle was
under the boat some minutes, and the other men were
almost exhausted, when some other pilots came to
their assistance and saved them. Notwithstanding his
narrow escape from death, when news reached John
Harrison that a ship's company was in danger, he was
among the first to leap into the lifeboat to row out to the
rescue of the Sylph.
Lloyds' agents have received information that a vessel
is on shore on Hartley Baits. The crew is saved. The
bottom of a vessel has come ashore among the rocks near
South Shields this morning, but there is every reason to
believe it belonged to a clipper vessel named the Admiral,
which got ashore near Marsden about a week ago, and
which must have been dislodged from the sand and
driven north by the gale of last night.
The gale seems moderating a little, but the weather
looks very wild seaward. Two vessels are about four or
five miles to sea, making for the harbour. It is to be
hoped they will get in in safety as the tide rises. The
steam-ship belonging to the General Steam Navigation
Company due in London about this time, is secure in
port. The John Bowes, screw collier, is reported to be
in 'a place of safety.

American 51s to 57s per cwt.

HIGLAND SOCIETY'S WINTER SHow.—The first winter
exhibition of fat stock, in connection with the Highland
and Agricultural Society of Scotland, took place on
Monday, in the Edinburgh cattle-market. Similar in
principle, and with much the same objects, as the Christ-
mas shows of the Smithfield Club, the exhibition—the
first ever held on this side of the Tweed —reflected the
highest credit on the breeders and agriculturists of Scot-
land, and, we believe, has more than justified the anti-
cipations formed of it. The exhibition was chiefly con-
fined to fat stock, as distinguished from breeding ani-
mals. The number of entries was for cattle, 91 ; sheep,
53 ; and pigs, 14. With few exceptions (though the
absence of the Herefords of Sir H. Verney, Bart., of
Claydon House, Bucks, excited some regret), all the
stock was brought forward, and made quite an imposing
show. The area of the cattle-market (which was liberally,
granted for the occasion by the magistrates) was ar-
ranged in stalls for the cattle, in the form of an immense
oblong square, the sheep and pigs being placed in the
usual market pens. The stalls or sheds were covered
or enclosed, and being provided with an abundance of
litter, the animals seemed quite comfortable and in ex-
cellent condition. The aggregate amount of the pre-
miums was about 300/. The show, as a whole, has
proved unsuccessful. The attendance of visitors, among
whom were several ladies, during the day was numerous.
In the early prospect of Christmas, with its associations
of good cheer, the exhibition has many features of inte-
rest to the community ; but to the breeder and the agri-
culturist, in displaying such examples of the best styles
of rearing and feeding, the exhibition is of great practi-
cal importance ; while, in affording to Scottish dealers
the seine facilities which our. English neighbours have
so long enjoyed, it is another proof of the deep interest
which the Highland Society manifests __in.every depart-

POSTAL ECONOMY.—By the withdrawal of the Rotter-
dom and Hamburg mail packets, 17,0001. a-year will be
saved to the country. The whole of the correspondence
for the continent will now enter by two ports only--
viz., Calais and Ostend. The withdrawal of the above-
named packets have been rendered practicable owing to
the increase of railroads on the continent. A large
number of countries in Europe which used to have a
communication with England twice a week only, have
now a daily communication.
EXTRA•MU.RAL CEMETERY FOR ISLINGTON.—At a pub-
lic meeting held on Thursday evening, the ratepayers of
Islington voted the sum of 20,0001. for the purpose of
making an extra-mural cemetery, and purchasing 30
acres of land for that purpose from the parish of St.
Pancras, at Finchley. Of the above portion, 20 acres
is to be allotted to the Church of England, and 10 to
nonconformists. The sum, it is also recommended,
should be repaid within 20 years.
