The bankrupt was a builder, at -Woolwich. This was
the certificate meeting. His unsecured debts were
2,4167. ; assets about 2,0001.
On behalf of the assignees, the London and County
Bank, no opposition was offered.
Mr. Hudson, on behalf of the bankrupt, urged that
the case was one for an immediate certificate.
His Honour observed that there had been no stock
taking ; and the bankrupt had gone on without making
any nett profit. He had kept no cash book ; but as there
was no opposition, a second-class certificate would be
granted.

IN RE BRADBURY.-,,CAPTURB OF A RUNAWAY BANKRUPT.

The bankrupt, A. Bradbury, was a cheesemonger, of
Holburn. He had absconded before the bankruptcy,
taking with him above 2001. in money and goods. He
had gone to Glasgow and paid 901. for the passage of
himself and wife to Australia by a vessel called the Uncle
Tom. Mr. Hamber, the messenger of this court, was
sent in pursuit of the bankrupt, and went first to the Isle
of Wight and afterwards to Liverpool, where the move-
ments of the fugitive were ascertained. The Uncle Tom,
when a very short time out from Glasgow, was overtaken
by the late severe storm, and, being dismasted, was com-
pelled to put into the harbour of Douglas, in the Isle of
Man. The bankrupt took lodgings at a boarding-house,
and was there found and captured by the messenger.
About 1501. of the property was found in his possession.
He now came up to surrender under the adjudication.
His Honour said he had been guilty of a very improper
and foolish act, but he hoped his future conduct would
be satisfactory to the creditors.

IN RE SUMMERS,

This was the certificate meeting in the case of Philip
Simmers, fancy printer and embosser, of Tabernacle-
walk. His accounts, prepared by Mr. Pettis, extended
over twelve months prior to the sth of January last, and
showed debts amounting to 2,475/., and assets about
1,050/.
Mr. Lawrance supported.
Mr. Matthews opposed, for the assignees, chiefly on
the ground of excessive personal expenditure.
His Honour granted a second class certificate.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. E. Lamude, shopman to
Messrs. Benson, jewellers, of Cornhill, was brought up
for final examination, upon the charge of having obtained
from Mr. Ward the sum of 3/. 10s. for a watch chain,
under the false pretence that it was gold.
The justice-room was crowded with members of the
trade and gentlemen, who seemed to take a deep inte-
rest in the case. Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Hum-
phreys, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson,
instructed by Mr. Hobler, for the defence.
Mr. Parry, in stating how he intended to shape the
case, the leading particulars of the evidence in which
have been already published, said that Mr. Ward was
the son of a highly respectable member of the Stock Ex-
change ; that Mr. Lamude, who sold the chain, was
understood to be a skilful judge of the articles which the
house disposed of, and, consequently, a person in a con-
dition of perfect responsibility, under the existing circum-
stances ; that the question before the bench must be felt
to be of weighty importance, both to the prisoner and
his employers, and that it would certainly have been
much more desirable to have the latter in the place
of the accused individual, who acted no doubt upon their
authority and for their benefit. It had been, the learned
counsel said, already proved that the article which had
been sold was composed of very discreditable materials
and ingredients; that although stated to be all gold, it
was principally composed of base metal, and as the pri-
soner's employers could not by the force of the evidence
be challenged with the offence, it was found necessary
for the protection of the public, to adopt the alternative
of proceeding against the servant. It was the intention to
call before his lordship a party who had assayed the chain
and found that two-thirds of it were base, and that one-
third alone had any intrinsic value. He would say, in
the presence of the numerous tradesmen around, that
the case decidedly was a case of fraud. If a tradesman
sold, as the best silk, an article which was of silk, bu,t,
inferior quality, then the doctrine of " caveat emptor
might come in as to the judgment of the buyer ; but if
that tradesman chose to sell for silk a piece of cotton or
worsted, made up in imitation of silk, there could be no
doubt of his criminal responsibility. The learned
counsel then quoted " The King v. Ball," in which
case the prisoner offered thimbles made of base metal as
silver ; another case in which electro-plated articles
were the cause of conviction, and in which Mr.
Clarkson had been engaged, with himself and a third,
in which the prisoner pawned rings as gold which had
no claim to the character ; and he said he would show
that Mr. Ward had been defrauded to a considerable
extent. He did not ask the Lord Mayor to say that
the prisoner was guilty, or that Messrs. Benson sold
fraudulent articles; but he would say that it was most
important to the trade and to the public, that goods
should not be falsely ticketed, and that it was necessary
to send the important question before another tribunal.
Mr. Parry then said he had only one witness to add to
those who had given evidence upon the first examination.
Mr. Geo. Richard Johnson said—l am an assayer of
bullion, and a partner in the firm of Johnson and Sons,
of Nos. 6 and 7, Gresham-street, West. I received part
of a chain—two links. It came in the name of Barber
and Smith. I believe it was from Mr. Thomas. It
was not confined to the two links. It was about an
inch of the chain. I have assayed it. The part
produced by Mr. Thomas appears to be part of the
same chain. If a chain is brought to assay, I should
take a link or two of it, considering that would be a
fair sample of the chain. The chain was only assayed
for gold, and therefore I can't tell what the alloy was—
probably it was partly silver. The round links were
assayed together, and the ornamental links in an-
other assay. I took them together because the vari-
ance was not very important, and did not amount
to more than four shillings an ounce. I found this gold
chain fourteen carats, one grain and a half lower than
the standard, which would be equal to three ounces,
sixteen pennyweights, and six grains in the troy pound.
Fine gold would be worth four pounds six shillings an
ounce. I refer to pure gold. By fine gold I mean pure
gold. There are other sorts of gold. Watch cases are
made of eighteen carats gold, but gold chains are made
of all sorts and qualities of gold. It is difficult to say
what is a gold chain. I never saw a gold chain with the
Hall mark to my recollection. What are meant in the
trade by fine gold chains are, I presume, chains that are
coloured, or pickled, and brought up to a surface. There
are no chains made of pure gold with the exception of
the Maltese chains, which have little or no alloy in them.
Mr. Clarkson said it was quite palpable from the
course taken in the case in preparing the depositions
which had been made on the former examination-
from the signatures of the witnesses, that it was the
determination of the Lord Mayor to send the case
for trial to another court. It would therefore be useless
for him to say one word in defence at the present
moment. He would have an opportunity elsewhere of
exposing the object and cause of the gross and unfounded
charge which had been made to prejudice as much as
possible the characters of the gentlemen of the respectable
firm he represented. He knew all about the matter,
and he would take care that all should come out in due
time. It was obvious that an unfair desire to prejudice
the case existed, from the fact that a person in the court,
who was interested in the prosecution, had applauded
the attack made by his learned friend upon the employers
of the young gentleman who was the immediate object
of accusation. It was obvious, too, that the false charge
had sprung in a great measure out of the jealousy of less
able and successful tradesmen.

The Lord Mayor said he ;as not aware of the least
unfair play upon the part of any individual. The gen-
tleman who had expressed his approbation of the remarks
of the learned counsel for the prosecution was evidently
unaccustomed to the forms of a court, and had
done so inadvertently. With regard to the com-
mittal of the prisoner, the impression upon the
mind of the bench upon hearing the simple, but strong,
testimony of Mr. Ward, that the prisoner said the
chain "was not the best gold, nor of the purest quality,
but it was all gold," was, that a jury ought to decide the
case. He had no doubt that a fair conclusion would be
ultimately arrived at, and he trusted that the character
of the firm, the respectability of which he had no reason
to question, would be clearly established.
Mr. Clarkson said he supposed the Lord Mayor would
be satisfied with Mr. Lamude's own security for his ap-
pearance at the Central Criminal Court ?

Mr.lParry offered no objection to the bail, and the Lord
Mayor read the usual words previously to committal.
The prisoner—" I wish, my lord, to make an observa-
tion."

Mr. Clarkson immediately interposed his advice, and
he prisoner then said " I reserve my defence for my
,rial."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Catharine Johnson,
who stood remanded on suspicion of being accessory to
various robberies, alleged to have been committed by
her husband, an American, in which jewellery to the
amount of about 1,5001. was taken from the premises
of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, jewellers, New Bond-
street, was brought before Mr. Bingham for final ex-
amination.

The case stood over for further evidence, the police
having hopes of getting hold of the husband who had
made his way to Paris, and from thence to some other
part of the continent. The only evidence against the
accused was that some articles of jewellery resembling
some of the stolen property had been seen in her posses-
and that her husband had pawned at Messrs. At-
tenborough's shop, in Newington-causeway, two of the
stolen rings.
The magistrate was informed that no further evidence
was forthcoming.
Mr. Humphreys for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis
for the prisoner, were present, but made no observation.
Mr. Bingham said application had been made in the
first instance to him, and the case had afterwards been
investigated by Mr. Hardwick, who was unavoidably
absent that day on public business, but who had commu-
nicated with him, and had expressed his opinion that the
charge could not be sustained unless further evidence
was brought forward. He had read through the notes
of the case, and he coincided with the view of his col-
league. He must therefore discharge the prisoner.

WORSHIP-STREET.— William Sadler, a stout, re-
solute-looking fellow, and Mary Clarke, were charged
with having been concerned with a woman not in cus-
tody, in violently assaulting and robbing Mr. Charles
Hensley, a tea-dealer in Chester-place Mile-end.
The prosecutor stated that, shortly after 9 o'clock on
the preceding evening, he left the house of one of his
friends in the city, and having been previously apprised
of the recent occurrence of several daring street robberies
along the line of road which he intended to traverse, he
took the precaution of wrapping up all the loose cash,
amounting to nine sovereigns, which he had about
in the corner of his pocket-handkerchief, which he care-
fully deposited in breast pocket of his oavercoat. He
proceeded on without interruption until he reached

COFFEE.—Nativo Ceylon continues in excellent demand
fer home consumption, and an advanced figure is required.
Since this day week, the private transactions have
amou4ted to 8,000 bags, and the latest prices paid were
48s to 8s 6d for good ordinary. The public sales of coffee
declared for next week, comprise 500 casks 400 bags Plan-
tation Ceylon, 79 bales, 327 hf-bales, and 334 qr ditto of
Mocha. This afternoon Native Ceylon met with little
notice, and there was some desire to sell good ord privately.
at 48s for .new import. The market for Plantation pre-
sented a quiet aspect, at auction of 220 casks, 120
bags, a small part only sold at rather low rates,
good to fine went 60s to 68s, mid 57s to 595,
fine fine ord to low mid 53s to 565, other sorts,

and 180 hf-bls a small part only sold at a small decline ;
mid and good small berry 73s 6d to 76s 6d, and not garbled
56s to 61s. Of Madras 200 pkgs went at full market prices,

43s 6d.

TEA.-In common and good ord Congou transactions
have been of importance, and prices are firmer, ruling at
104 d to 100 for sound. A good demand exists for other
sorts, and the currency is well supported ; rather blackish
leaf to blackish leaf realising lld to is strong and
Pekoe kinds is ld to is Bcl, and superior is 9d to 2s 2d,
medium having been in good request. Clean Pouchong is
wanted at 8d to 9ad, and few parcels are in the market.
A brisker sale exists for Oolong ; fine is 5d to is &l, other
sorts 10d to is ld, the former most required. In Souchong
there is a firm market ; fine realised 1s 7d to 2s, mid to
good is to is 6d, and common 10d to 11d. Hyson mid is 2d

yet little wanted ; in boxes can be obtained at 8d to Is,

fine white Bengal at Ils 6d to 12s, low mid Ils to 11s 3d,

6d to 10s. White Java lOs to 12s 6d, yellowish 9s to
9s 6d, and cargo Bengal at 9s and Os 3d per cwt. There
are no sales to report for arrival, and more inclination is
evinced to sell Arracan at 9s to Os 6d, and Madras at 9s6d
to 10s. Stock of rice is 20,000 tons less than last year.
Cleaned sells more freely, yet rates are not better, ruling for
low to fine Patna at 12s 6(1 to 10s ; Carolina, first sort 325,
and second ditto 23s 6d. To-day East India rice was dealt
in with caution privately, and rather lower rates accepted,

next week large parcels are declared.
SPICES.-Orders are on the increase for pimento, and
there is an advance of id per lb. At auction 500 bags
went at Sid to sid for mid to good, and common 54d.
Cassia Lignea sells more freely by private contract, and
prices are better, ruling at 108 s to 113 s for low to mid,
and good to fine 114 s to 120 s per cwt. Mace is not much
required, and rates continue to give way. The public sales
of 10 cases went at 2s 4d to 2s 7d for common to mid, and
privately better sorts are offering at 2s 8d to 38. Cinna-
mon continues to be wanted, and there is much firmness
in the market. Ceylon of first quality realised 2s 2d to
to 2s 10d, second ditto Is 5d to 2s, third and fourth is 4d
to is 9d. To-day at auction 400 bags Singapore pepper
sold at 3d to 3id for good, and one lot inferior 3id ; 72
bags white, mid rid to 7-Id.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There is less disposi-
tion to operate in Leeward Island Rum, but supplies being
small rates remain firm at is lld to 3s per gallon proof.
East India has been only in limited request ; but the
terms demanded are is lOid to is 11d, stocks being chiefly
in second hands. The market has assumed a quiet ap-
pearance for Demerara, yet in the value thereis scarcely any
variation-30 to 40 per cent over proof realising 2s 7d to
2s lid. The limited parcels disposed of were choice sorts
-36 to 40 over proof at 4s to 4s 6d, fine 34 to 37 over 38
6d to 3s 10d, low to good mid 30 to 40 over 2s 9d to 3s. There

TALLOW.—A material increase is apparent in purchases
in Russian on the spot since Friday last ; there is a rise of
ls. 9d. to 2s per cwt, fine yellow candle realising 46s 9d to
475. Operations are on a larger scale for delivery at 47s to
478 3d for next two months, at 46s for the latter part of
the year. Home melted sells more freely, and is not offered
under 46s cash, although there is a fair supply. The public
sales this afternoon went with fair spirit at 9d to is ad-
vance ; 1,200 casks Australian went at 45s to 46s for mut-
ton ; beef, 43s to 45s ; and 250 casks South American, 435
to 46s 6d for low to fine. Stock of tallow is 17,000 casks
less than last year, and prices show an advance of 7s to Bs.
COCHINEAL.— There are many buyers at previous prices,
but an advance of id per Is being required on last week's
valuations, checks business. Of 350 bags at auction, not
above one-third sold • Honduras, silvers at 4s to 4s 6d ;
black, low to good, 434 d to 4s 9d ; very common, 45 id to
4s 3d ; Mexican, black, 4s 5d to 4s 8d ; Teneriffe, 4s 4d to
45 6d ; and silvers 3s 11d. to 4s 4d per lb. Stock of Cochi-
neal exceeds that of 1852 by 3,000 bags ; but supply from
Honduras this season is not likely to be equal to the previ-
ous one.
INDIGO.—The average price of good consuming Bengal
was then 4s, and now 4s 9d. Spanish is in small supply,
and wanted—prices in consequence are on the rise,
and rule as follows :—Guatimala, fibres, 5s 3d to 5s 6d ; Sa-
bres, 4.8 8d to 5s 3d ; and Carraccas, 3s to 5s 8d per lb. Im-
ports for the past year were 4,316 serons, and in the previous
one 7,291; deliveries for all purposes, 3,300, and 7,788 in
1851; stock is now 1,359 serons, and at the same date last
year, 403.
SALTPETRE.—The demand remains active, and previous
improved prices are well supported, although supply is on
the increase. At auction 3,700 bags Calcutta were disposed
of ; refraction 2to 5i per cent. at 290 to 30s, and 5,3 to 22 per
cent. 25s 6d to 27s 6d. Privately some parcels of Madras
have been sold at 24s 6d to 26s 6d. Stock of saltpetre exceeds
that of last year by 1,200 tons. A large demand exists for
British refine' at 29s 6d to 30s. Nitrate of soda has been
selling at 16s 6d on the spot, and at 16s per cwt for arrival.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending the 4th day of
January, 1852, is 31s. Od. per hundred weight, exclusive
of the duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im-
portation thereof into Great Britain.

STRANGE FISR.—In the Mediterranean, Chinnereth,
and Semechonitis, as also in the Jordan, are found many
kinds of fish, which are nevertheless essentially different
from the European ones. Some are found which weigh
thirty pounds. In the sea, near Jaffa, there is found at
times a species of fish which emits a phosphorescent
light in the dark, not unlike rotten wood. This peculiar
property of the fish is only destroyed when it is put
over the fire, or immersed in hot water. There is found,
likewise, in the sea of Chinnereth, a very fat fish, Al
Barbud, which has no scales, wherefore it is not eaten
by Jews. There are two kinds of fish known as Shebuta,
Al Sabuta, one of which is as large as a hog, and is very
fat and well-flavoured. It is not met with in Palestine,
and is only caught in the Indian seas, and especially
near Fiume. It is known among the Italians as•Tanina.
The other is a smaller species, has tender flesh, and is
salted before being eaten.

LEEDS, JAN. 7.
STOCK EXCHANGE._ Shares generally are flatter this
morning. Very little is doing. Buyers are reluctant
operators. Lancashire and Yorkshire were done at 84/ ;
North Westerns at 8 ; Leeds Northern Extensions, No. 2,
at prem. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire 101.
prefs., at 11.

•eceipts include the traffic on the Orleans and Central, Or-
Bordeaux, and Tours and Nantes lines.

The weather is again boisterous and wet. The business
in Brunswick-street the last two days has been inactive,.
and at the Corn-exchange this morning, having a very-
slender attendance of town and country buyers, the trans-
actions were in mere retail quantities of every article of
the trade. Useful quality of red wheat commanded the
price of Tuesday, but American white was slightly easier
to purchase. American flour was also rather lower ;
superfine sweet Western Canal, 27s 6d to 28s to 28s 6d ;
Baltimore and Philadelphia, 28s 6d to 29s ; and choice
brands ranging from 29s to 31s per barrel. Ii Indian corn
very little doing. The high prices and freight of whe at
and flour from the United States per sseamer Arctic,
received this week, have had little influence on this mar-
ket. There was no change in the value of oats, oatmeal,
barley, beans, or peas.
