IN RE REUBEN MICHAEL.

The bankrupt, of Bury-street, Shoreditch, came up
to pass his last examination.
Mr. Lawrance supported ; Mr. Bagley opposed on
behalf of Mr. Abrahams, and Mr. Sturgeon on behalf
of Mr. Joseph.
It appeared that the fiat was obtained on the bank-
rupt's own petition ; that he had traded as a pur-
chaser of pawn-tickets ; that his wife had 8001. a
year in her own right ; that he has been twice before
insolvent; and that he has been in the habit of re-
siding at Boulogne. He admitted that he played for
small sums at cards, but denied that he ever won or
lost as much as 401. or 4001. at one sitting, either in
Leicester-square or at Boulogne. He had on one oc-
casion won as much as 51., but his risks were gene-
rally to the extent of no more than half. a-crown at a
rubber of whist. His debts now exceed 6031 ; there
were no assets. /His wife was entitled to property
under the will of her father.
It was here ascertained that a copy of the will had
not been filed, and an adjournment was asked for on
that ground.
His HONOUR said he should certainly order an ad-
j )urnment. The object of the bankrupt seemed to be
to visit Boulogne, and to come to this court to get
whitewashed. He should order an adjournment for
the production of the will. There were other grounds
why he should not pass the examination. The bank-
rupt appeared to have entered upon a course of
reckless trading, feeling that he had his wife's income
to fall back upon.
Examination adjourned accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

George Alexander Collie, Bermondsey-square, was
again brought up, charged with stealing 48 shares in
the Friesland Gas-light Company, and also various
sums of money, the property of Mr. George Ogle,
Great Winchester street, solicitor.
Sir J. DUKE, on taking his seat on the bench, and
the prisoner being placed .at the bar, said that from
what had taken place during the previous examina-
tions, it appeared to be a very gross case.
Mr. Ogle said that it certainly was a very bad one,
and attended with serious loss to him under peculiar
circumstances. He much doubted whether a jury, if
Sir James Duke sent the case for trial, would find
the prisoner guilty, the great difficulty being to get at
the shares. He was told that 28 of them had been
destroyed, but then he only had the prisoner's word
for that. Ile, therefore, did not intend to produce
further evidence.
Sir J. DUKE observed that some shares had been
recovered.

Hedington, the officer, said he had five shares,
which he received from one of the witnesses who gave
evidence the previous day.
Mr. Ogle said that he could not stand on those five
shares, as they were returned, but the principal charge
was relative to the ten shares. He therefore did not
wish to prosecute further, as the prisoner had ren-
dered every assistance to recover the property, which
was but a small part. He would therefore leave the
case in the Alderman's hands.
Sir JAMES DUKE ordered the case to stand over
until Monday, and intimated that he would not
trouble Mr. Ogle to come again.
The prisoner was then removed to the Compter.
Mr. Edward Nairne, late of 3, \Varnford-court,
stock-broker, was again brought up before Sir Jame;
Duke, charged with not surrendering to be examined
as a bankrupt in the Court of Bankruptcy, at the
time notified in the London Gazette.

Mr. Lucas appeared on behalf of the creditors, and
Mr. Humphries, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
Mr. Lucas said that he had to establish two charges,
one being that of not surrendering to the fiat, and
the other of embezzling three Exchequer-bills, which
were entrusted to him for safe custody. On the for-
