There was no opposition on the part of the assignees.
Mr. Lawrance appeared for Enser, and Mr. J. R.
Chidley, Gresham-street, for Pearce, on whose behalf he
made a strong appeal, on the ground that he was the
junior partner.
His Honour thought that both bankrupts were en-
titled to certificates of the second class, and also ordered
that the fees deposited by them for the certificates
should be returned, and paid out of the estate.

THE CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO EXTORT A
SITUATION FROM THE CHANCELLOR OF
THE EXCHEQUER.

MARLBOROUGH STREET-(THIS DAY).

This morning, according to previous arrangement,
the prisoner, William Wilson, who stands charged
with attempting to extort a situation from the Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, by
threatening to charge the right hon. gentleman with
immorality, and to expose him in the columns of
the Morning Herald newspaper, and also to the whole
of the Conservative party, was again brought up before
Mr. Bingham, in order that the depositions, the sub.
stance of which have already appeared in this journal at
considerable length, might be formally read over in :his
presence.

On his being placed in the dock, the alteration in his
appearance since his first examination was much noticed.
He paid the greatest attention to Mr. Leadley, the chief
clerk, during the time he read the depositions, which
were at some length, over to him.
As soon as they were completed, and the witnesses
bound over, the prisoner said he admitted the correct-
ness of what the right hon. prosecutor and the wit-
nesses had stated, and requested to be admitted to bail.
Mr. Bingham, after considering the propriety of ac-
ceding to prisoner's request, declined doing so.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial, and
removed from the bar by Welch, the gaoler.
Inspector Packe informed the court, that, from in-
uiries he,had made, he discovered that the prisoner was
formerly connected with a person by the name of
Gregory, and went about with him giving lectures upon
Bloomerism some months ago.
