IMPORTANT CASE.—SUSPENSION OF CERTIFICATE FOR
TWO YEARS.—This bankrupt was described as of Wood-
street, shirt warehouseman, and now applied for his
certificate.
Mr. LLOYD opposed on the behalf of the assignees, on
the ground of fraudulent trading and making sway with
property. The bankrupt commenced business in Nov.
1847, and stopped payment in Out. last. He had com-
menced business without capital. He obtained goods,
and very shortly afterwards sold at a ruinous loss, and
ho continued this system up to the time of his stopping
payment. The greater part of the goods had been sold
to a person named Jackson, at a time that the latter was
an uncertificated bankrupt.
Mr. lavvaENasvaddressed the Court for the bankrupt,
who was examined, and whose excuse was, first, that he
went into business on the understanding that a gentle-
man would join him, but that person died. He had „sold

His HONOUR considered that the bankrupt's cAlduct
in his dealings with Jackson had been gross, and almost
fraudulent, and had it been shown that there had been
any cognizance that Jackson was a bankrupt, he (his
Honour) would not only have refused the certificate but
have recommended ,a criminal prowcution—it should be
known that such jobbers in the trade were open to pro-
secution for concealment of fraud. He should suspend
the certificate for two years. without protection, unless
the bankrupt suffered six months' imprisonment.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Two lightermen, named Clewly and Braithwaite, were
charged before Mr. Henry with stealing coals from
barges lying off the Adelphi.
Policeman F5B observed the prisoners last night about
twelve crossing from a barge belonging to the father of
Clewley into others, and filling from them a sack
which from time to time they emptied into a cart which
they had left standing on Clewley's wharf. The con-
stable gay., information to the Thames Police, and
an officur of that force (No. 18) went on board a
barge belonging to Mr. Clcwley, and there found
the prisoner with a sack full of coals, which
they stated belonged to the owner of the barge ; but a
specimen now produced was pronounced, by Mr. Isaac,
nephew and manager to Mr. Marchmont. coal merchant,
whose barges lay alongside of Clewley's, to be of the
same kind as those belonging to his employer, beini,
what was called" Hartleys," whilst the coals in the
barge belonging to the prisoner's (Clewley) father,
were of a superior kind, easily distinguished by the ap-
pearance. The officer (18) of the Thames Policy stated, that
Braithwaite was a deserter from the 11th Regiment of
Foot, and that Mr. Clewley, the father of the other
prisoner, although be refused to prosecute, had admitted
to him this morning that bath prisoners hid been for
some time in the habit of robbing him of coals to a great
extent.

Mr. HENRY thought it would be difficult to establish
the identity of the Coals at the Old Bailey, especially as
Mr. Clewley refused to prosecute. le sentenced ae
prisoners to two rnooths' imprisonment and hard labour,
for the unlawful possession.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORNEXCLIANGE-WEDNESDAY.
Our market to•day was again very scantily supplied
with all kinds of English Wheat. Although the attend-
ance of buyers was small, the demand for that grain nas
firm, and a good clearance of the stands was effected, at
prices fully equal to those paid on Monday. The im-
ports of Foreign Wheat this week have been only 7,243
quarters, but a large fleet of corn ships is working up
the Channel from the Black Sea. Most descriptions
ruled steady, and late rates were well supported in every
instance. The supply of Barley was again limited ;
most kinds ruled inactive; but we have no change to
notice in prices. So little business was transacted in
Malt that the currencies were almost nominal. Oats,
Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, were quite as dear. The
Flour trade was tolerably firm.
