BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissicner HOLROYD.)
IN RE KEATING.
This bankrupt had carried on business in St. Paul's
Church-yard, as a chemist and druggist, and came
up fur his certificate.

The bankrupt's debts amount to 6,425/. Cr. good
debts. 7161. Cash, 851. Stock, &c., 1,3781. The Ad-
♦ertisements in lour years amounted to 4,3361., and
printing, &c., 1,649/.

Mr. LAWRENCE appeared on behalf of the bankrupt,
and said that he did not think it necessary to press for
the certificate at present, as the bankrupt was carrying
on business for the benefit of the creditors under an or-
der of the Court of Review, and there was little doubt
that the estate would pay 20s. in the pound; the bank-
rupt was therefore content to let the question of certi-
ficate stand over till the time named in the order had ex-
pired.

Mr. Lucks opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt
had not rendered some accounts which had been directed
to be furnished.

Mr. LAWRENCE, in reply, urged that the assignees
and general body of the creditors were quite satisfied
that no benefit would arise to them, and that the ac-
counts were only called for to enable one of the cre-
ditors to take proceedings against a third party on a
transaction which occurred fourteen or fifteen years ago.
The Learned Gentleman also urged that they had no
right to call for accounts after the bankrupt had passed
his examination.
His HONOUR considered that the accounts were suffi-
cient, and there was no reason to adjourn th• certificate
on that ground.
The meeting was then adjourned as agreed on.

SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)
George Gerrard, a lad about 16, was indict-d for
stealing a till containing thirteen shillings, the property
of Ann Benbow.

The prosecutrix keeps a shop at Camberwell, and on
the evening of the 2,th of January she heard some
person creeping round her counter, and on running out
of her back room sho perceived the prisoner leaving the
shop door, with her till in his possession. She pursued
him, and after !a smart chase he was captured by the
police, but he had thrown the till and contents into the
road.

In defence the prisoner said he did not steal the till.
It was given to him by another lad, who ran away and
made his escape.

Mr. RoutNsoN, who was instructed for the prisoner,
called a number of witnesses, who gave him an excellent
character.

The jury found him Guilty, and recommended him
strongly to mercy.

Sentence—Ten days' solitary confinement in the
county gaol.

apply to Parliament for leave to afford time, when a
fair case for indulgence can be satisfactorily esta-
blished.
