LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 28.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF EDWARD NAIRNE.

watched by the police. He should now cause him to
be kept in Custody until the morning, and in the mean-
time he would consider what course should be taken
in reference to the perjury which he had without
doubt committed. _ _

Browne was accordingly locked up for the night,
and this morning, upon his being brought up,
The Learned JUDGE addressing him said, it was
impossible to doubt but that all the time he was
giving his evidence on the previous day, he was fully
aware that he was committing gross perjury, neither
did he himself entertain the slightest doubt that his
" marine-store-shop " was a place where stolen arti-
tides were received and purchased. For the present,
Browne might go about his business, but he must
carry with him this intimation—that for the future
his shop as well as his own proceedings would be
closely watched by the police. He had now known
what the confinement in a prison for a night was. Let
that be a warning to him.
The jury, as has been stated, found Payne Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE said he should postpone the
pasvjng sentence upon the prisoners in order that some
further inquiries might be made about them. With
regard to Payne, it was a singular fact that he was dis-
charged from prison just 19 months ago, whilst all
the witnesses who had been called to speak in his be-
half had stated that they had known him about 18
months.
The sentence upon Payne and Gage was then post-
poned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
David M'lntyre and Matthew _Eight (the first a
fighting man, the second the keeper of a coffee-house
in Blackfriars-road), were charged before the Lord
Mayor under the following circumstances :
Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Wontner appeared for the
prisoners.
A gentleman of the name of Watson said, on the
28:h of August, at half-past ten o'clock at night, as I
was walking along Oxford-street, a woman addressed
me and asked me to treat her. I declined to do so.
It began to rain a little, and I took shelter in a shop
doorway in Princes-street. The woman followed and
spoke to me again, and a man came from the
opposite side of the way as if he were coming into
the shop door. I said to her, " Here is a man wants
to come tn." He came up, and she gave him some-
thing, and he immediately said, " I want to go to St.
George's-road, Westminster." I told him he was to
go through Regent-street, towards Westminster, and
the moment he was gone I missed from my trowlers
pockets nine sovereigns wrapped up in a 20!. note.
The woman disappeared when the man went. The
note now produced, of which I knew the number, is
that which I lost. Neither of the prisoners is the
man who came up.
Mr. C. R. Tatham, clerk in the accountants'
office of the Bank of England, produced a banknote
for 201., numbered 30,731, and dated 9th of April,
1849, and said it had been pid into the bank on
the 17th of September, through Messrs. Itobart's
house. _ _ _

" all goods could be paid for by weekly instalments of
25." I received a letter from the prisoner between
the 14th and 16th of September, 1846, containing an
order for certain goods to the amount of 9/. 2s. That
description of goods I had not a sufficient quantity
and only sent part, after which another letter arrived
saying that if I had not sent all off; Messrs. Lloyd,
Wood, and Co.'s cart would be in town on the Mon-
day, and would call for the rest. They were after-
wards forwarded to the direction given in Tottenham-
court-road, and since then I have seen nothing of
the prisoner until yesterday at the Insolvent Debtors'
Court. _ _

Alderman Ginns—Was there credit given ? Mr.
Lee—Yes ; the bill was to be settled at the expiration
of two months.

Alderman GIBBS —Where is the false pretence ?
Mr. Warrand—He obtained the goods under the
representation that bis name was Wood, of the firm
of Lloyd, Wood, and Co., whereas his real name is
Quantock; and that he carried on business at North-
church, Berkhampstead, which is not the case, for he,
in his schedule and when before the Commissioner at
the Insolvent Court, made no mention of Mr. Lee's
debt, or that he ever lived at Northchurch, thus so
far establishing a case against him.
Alderman GlBBs—Show that there was no such
firm et Northchurch.

Mr. Lee—After sending some letters down, and
having them returned by post, marked that no such
parties as Lloyd, Wood, and Co., could be found, I
and my foreman went down and ascertained fur a cer-
tainty that no such firm ever existed there. And on
making inquiries at the railway station we were told
that seven sacks of flour came by rail directed to
the same firm, but the owner fortunately seized
them before arriving at their destination and catred
them off.

Mr. Spiller cross-examined Mr. Lee, but did not
elicit anything favourable for his client.
Alderman GIBBS—I should like proof that the
letters from Northchurch, Berkbampstead, are in the
prisoner's handwriting.
Mr. Werrand said that could be easily proved, and
called

Lewis Levi, the foreman to Mr. Lee, who, after
examing them, swore they were in the prisoner's
handwriting, and also corroborated his employer's
evidence respecting making inquiries at nearly all the
houses in Northehurch, and being unable to find that
such a firm ever existed.

Cross•exarnined—l don't know such a place cs
Whitchurch.

Mr. Lee—There is no such pace.
Prisoner—There is, of a quarter of a mile. It is a
villsge, and joins Berkhampstead.
Mr. IVarrand--There is no sulli place.
Alderman Giuns—But your letters are dated from
N orthchurch.

Prisoner—l don't recollect which place it is. It's
all a mistake.—(Laughter.) There is no post office
there at Northchurch.—(Much laughter.)
Chief Clerk—Then you know Northchurch well ?
The pi isoner made no reply.
Mr. Warrand asked for a remand, and said, that
when full publicity was given to the case of such a
man as the prisoner there was no doubt that other
cases would be brought against him.
Alderman GIBBS remanded him until Wednesday
next.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 28.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was only a limited business
concluded in the West India Sugar market, and rather
lower rates were taken for both grocery and working
kinds. The purchases to-day were 579, making for the
week 2,360 hhda and trcs, and the decline in price for
that time has been 6d to Is per cwt. The market for
all sorts of Sugar closes with a quiet aspect.
REFINED:—To-day sales to a fair extent were made
in refined goods by home dealers, and former rates are
well tupported. In bonded crushed Sugar the sales made
are of little moment.

MAURITIUS.--This afternoon the public sales of 4,800
bags Mauritius Sugar went off flatly, at barely former
rates; brown sold at 33s to 353, yellow 35s 6d to 38s 6d,
fine 393 to 40s, and grey 34s to 38s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar submitted to public sale was extensive, and
amounted to 8,800 bags. On the part of dealers not
much desire was evinced to make purchases, and only
about half sold at a further decline of 6d per cwt.
Prices ruled as follows:—Yellow like Mauritius realised
from 36s to 40s, low to fine white 38s 61 to 41s 6d,
grainy brown 37s 6d to 38s 6d, yellow 39s to 44s 6d, and
white 45s to 465. 1,175 casks Ceylon went at 32s to
34s for soft yellow.
_

FonEIGN.L-To-day there was little passing by private
treaty in Foreign Sugar; and at public sale 275 hhds
Porto Rico sold at a further reduction ; low yellow at
363 6d to 375, and middling to good 37s Gd to 39s per
t.

MOLASSES.—There is still firmness on the patt of
holders of West India, and full rates are asked; the
supply at market is moderate. The demand has fallen
off, all' only small parcels have been sold this week at
from 153 5d to 18s 6d for low to fine quality. Bengal
Treacle is not much in d« mane, and more desire is
evinced to sell at 15s to 15s Gd.

COCOA.—The inactivity in the market for West India
has further increased, and supplies continue large, es-
pecially of inferior sorts. There are sellers rather under
former rates, but few buyers are to be met with. At
public sale 556 bags of Grenada were nearly all taken iu
at 36s to 438, and 50 bags 25 barrels Trinidad at 37s to
40s for low to middling grey. The deliveries for home
trade purposes are, however, still larger than the former
year, but the stock is heavier. There aro few buyers of
Foreign, and sellers are ready to accept the low rates of
25s to 27s per cwt.
COFFEE.—To, day Coif.- e met with little attention for
home-trade purposes or shipping, end former rates were
barely obtained, although the supply was less than in
the early part of the week. At public sale 172 casks
182 bags Planttition Ceylon were sold; middling at 57s
to 58s, low middling 50i to 53-i, other sorts 39 s 6d to 49s
1, pea berry 48s to 635. There are not sellers of good
ordinary Native under 39s per cwt.
nA.-- Only a limited demand continues to exist for
good and fine Congou, and sellers are willing to accept
rather lower, rates, but ordinary and medium kinds
continue in excellent request, and realised fully former
terms ; there is also not a better supply. It is
difficult to purchase c immon clean under 9id
,per lb. For Green the market has a quiet aspect,
and most sorts can be purchased upon rather lower terms,
as supplies continue to extend. Scented Teas cannot be
quoted cheaper, but less (It mind exists.
Rrcz.—Tc-day at public sale 3,212 bags of Bengal
Rico were for the most past sold at stiffer rates; making
the advance for the Week 6tl per cwt, good white realised
9, 61 to 103.
