COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-SEPT. 11

(Before S;r C. F. WILLIAMS. )
GEORGE BROWN'S BANKRUPTCY.

In this bankruptcy an application was made this morning on
the behalf of Mr. Stewart, of Cheltenham, to the Court, for an
order for a dividend made a few days since in this estate. The
applicant stated that his client had proved under the Commis-
sion, which is rather of ancient date, for the sum of 4501. on a
bond and three bills and promissory notes, making the amount
due from the bankrupt. The bond he could now produce, but
the promissory notes had, unfortunately, been lost, and his re-
quest now was (he having made the usual affidavit in such
cases) that the Court would give him an ord 'r to receive the
dividend (about ninepence in the pound) lately declared.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS, after examining the bond and further
questioning the solicitor applying, granted the order.

JOSEPH EWBANK'S BANKRUPTCY.

The bankrupt, a linendraper of Oxford-street. appeared be-
fore the Court to pass his final examination On presentiug
his balance sheet the official assignee, with several creditors,
strongly expressed their dissatisfaction with the statements
therein made, and prayed the Court to adjourn the proc, cl-
ings, it being necessary that the bankrupt should be examined
on his account, it. private, previous to the adoption of the
balance sheet now presented, as " a true and correct state of
his affairs and effects."

The COURT agreed, and the meeting was ordered to stlnd
adjourned.
(Before Mr. Comtnisiioner HOI.RO YD. )
GEORGE ORBELL'S BANKRUPTCY.

The first meeting of creditors of this bankrupt,, a horse-
dealer of some celebrity, resident in Essex, well known in the
sporting circles, was held for the choice of assignees and the
proof of debts. His liabilities exceed 4.0001.
A nurnb,o- of proofs were tensl•ered, but the bankrupt not
having kept an account of his multifarious transactions, the
official assignee was unable to test their accuracy, and the
Va-
rious creditors failing to give suqicient evidence on that In. ad,
Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD directed that one and all must
be adjourned till the various claimants produced their books,
to show the dealings and the amount of debt.
The choice of assignees was consequently postponed till
Friday next.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

William Mills Thomas, the pretended Indian missionary,
was brought before Mr. DYER and Mr. CHAMBERS for final
examination, charged with having stolen the pocket-handker-
chief of Captain Hyde Parker Lawrence.
Captain Lawrence said the prisoner called on him and soli-
cited a sovereign, to assist him in his pious intentions of going
out to India as a missionary. Prosecutor gave him half a
sovereign and the addresses of two of his friends, and after the
prisoner was gone he missed his pocket-handkerchief.
All parties were bound over to prosecute.
Mr. CHAMBERS looked over the subscription papers found
on the prisoner, indicating that he had in a very short time
received between 4001. and 500/. from the charitable, and ob-
served it was an easy matter to ascertain if the signatures were
genuine. . .

Mr DYER said, with respect to the prisoner's pretended
desire to go out as a missionary, the pretext had no doubt been
put forth as a means of obtaining with greater facility the
contributions of the humane.

The prisoner asserted that his object was to go out as a
missionary. He was respectably connected; he was a rela-
tive of Colonel Mills Thomas and Mr. Midwinter, who was a
relative of the late Sir John Chambers.
Mr. CHAMBERS-That's not true. I know Mr. Midwinter
very well, and I likewise know he is not related to my late
father. I advise you, when you come there again, not to
make use of the name of Chambers. You must take some
other.

The prisoner appeared rather confounded at this expose, and
covered his confusion by muttering something that was inau-
dible. He was fully committed.

MARY LEBONE.

Yesterday a decently-dressed man, who was formerly clerk
at a booking-office in Oxford-street, was placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Hoskins, charged with having plundered the house
of Mr. Joseph Ireland, architect, No. 9, Osnaburgh-strcet,
Regent's Park, of property to the amount of 801.
Mr. HosKiNs discharged the prisoner, desiring, at the same
time, that the police would use their utmost endeavours to clear
up the mysterious affair, and th ing the offender or offenders
to justice.
