WINDSOR.

The Admiralty have given their assent to the pro-
posed extension line from Richmond to Windsor, on con-
dition that with a view to prevent any obstruction to
the navigation of the Thames, the navigable channel be
crossed by bridges of one span, with as much headway as
the limits of deviation will allow. The point in ques-
tion is a spot about three-quarters of a mile below
Windsor- bridge.

OPENING OF THE SHROPSHIRE UNION.
The line between Shrewsbury and Stafford, a chief
portion of the Shropshire Union Railway, is now com-
pleted, and will be opened for public traffic in May.
Experimental trips have been made between the termini
by the engineers and directors. The line is 30 miles,
running through a rich agricultural country, and conti-
guously to the coal and iron-works of the Duke of
Sutherland between Newport and Wellington. It ac-
commodates Houghton, Gnossall, Newport, Donning-
ton, Hadley, Lilleshall, Walcot, and other places. The
total cost of construction will . be 500,000 L, including
one-fourth part of the contribution towards the construc-
tion of the central station at Shrewsbury, built con-
jointly by this company, the Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham, Shrewsbury and Hereford, and Shrewsbury and
Chester, at a cost of 100,0001. The Government in-
spector is to go over the line on the 25th.

wliNhnieTcHhaEncedilroAtanNinK deposits of corn held as
fourteen years ago, being then in partnership. The firm
with which be was connected owed about 15,0001. at the
period of their stoppage, and a large dividend was paid.
They, too, carried on the business of corn factors.
Debts to the amount of about s,ooo4:were proved, and
Mr. Joseph Bayne, of Mark-lane, appointed assignee.
Mr. Edwards is the official assignee.
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF THOMAS NORTON BROWN.
This bankrupt was a pawnbroker in Fetter-lane, and
a sharebroker in Tbrogmorton-street. This was a meet-
ing for the last examination.
The balance-sheet has the following items:—Creditors
unsecured, 18,385/4 creditors holding security, 6,5411.;
liabilities, 4,2151.; liability creditors holding security,
4601. ; capital, 1,811/. ; profits, 12,9001.; good debts, 4011.;
doubtful debts, 2,3451.; property, 6,2761.; property in
the hands of creditors, 5,0001.; bad debts, 2,452/.; losses,
6,921/. ; trade expenses, 12,451/ ; domestic, 3,3144
There was no opposition to the bankrupt's passing on
the part of the creditors; but

Mr. EDWARDS, the official assignee, called his Honour's
attention to the fact that whereas the bankrupt had
during a portion of his mercantile career kept two
separate and distinct mercantile establishments, the one
in Fetter-lane and the other in Throgmorton•street, the
balance-sheet was exclusively made up from the books
kept in Fetter-lane. A deficiency of 4,6001. appeared to
have been carried from the business in Fetter-lane to
that in Throgmorton-street, but the bankrupt having
destroyed the books and accounts he had kept in the
latter place of business, this deficiency of 4,6001. was en-
tirely unexplained, and there was no statement whatever
of his trading as a stockbroker.

The COMMISSIONER allowed the bankrupt to pass,
stating, however, that the question as to the destruction
of the books was a very serious one, and would be dealt
with when Brown came up for his certificate.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 9.
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAms.)
WHITE V. GOVITT AND CoNYBEARE.

Mr. Sergeant Kirglakc and Mr. Ball were counsel for
the plaintiff; and Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr.
M. Smith for the defendants.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages in consequence of the defendant Govitt having
caused him to be arrested and imprisoned on a charge of
felony. The plaintiff was a carpenter, the defendant
Govitt was a farmer, and the defendant Mary Cony-
beare was bis housekeeper.
It appeared that the plaintiff worked occasionally at
the house of Govitt, paid his addresses to the female
defendant, and promised to marry. her. She told the
plaintiff she had 201. which she wished to place out at
interest, and it was arranged that the money should be
lent to the plaintiff, and it was banded over to him.
Some time after this the plaintiff discovered
that Mary Conybeare was in the family-way,
and the plaintiff upon that broke off the ac.
quaintance between himself and her. She then em-
ployed an attorney to sue White for the DlOney LA the
