QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
No cases of public interest were heard during the
morning. Shortly before two o'clock the Lord Mayor,
accompanied by the Recorder, entered the court.
The Recorder handed in the name of the attorney
for the City of London, in that court, and having
introduced his Lordship to the Learned Judges,
stated that he had been directed to invite their Lord-
ships to the civic banquet, to take place in the Guild-.
hall to-night, in celebration of the new Mayoralty.
Lord DENMAN, who wore his collar as Chief Jus
tice, and appeared with the other judges, in his scarlet
gown and flowing wig, replied that some of the
judges would attend the banquet.
The Lord Mayor then withdrew, and passed
through the other courts, in which a similar ceremony
was gone through.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Banco.)
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-THE QUEEN V. MELANDEZ

V. BARROIS.
Mr. MARTIN said, two terms ago the Court granted
a rule on his motion, at the instance of the Mexican
Minister, calling upon the defendants to show cause
why a criminal information should not be filed against
them for an alleged libel on the Minister. He neer
sought the Court to discharge the rule. It appeared
that one of the defendants was an invalid, and had
left the country ; and looking at the difficulties the
prosecutor would have to encounter in proceeding
against the defendants, although he had no doubt he
should be able to prove his case against them if be
were to go on, he thought it would be better, under
all the circumstances, to ask the Court to rescind
the rule.

Mr. Justice TATTESON granted the application, and,
the rule was discharged.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE LANDS.

To-day was appointed for the choice of assignees,
under a fiat issued against this bankrupt, as a boot-
maker, in the Edgeware-road.
Mr. LAWRENCE appeared on behalf of the bank-
rupt, and applied for an adjournment, as the Fel"
tioning creditor's debt was disputed, and it could no
doubt be shown that if any debt existed it was due to
the petitioning creditor as a partner. The bankrupt
had been summoned under the let and 2d Vic., and,.
was taken by surprise, and in consequence. did not
appear to dispute the debt, and a fiat was sued out,
but the petitioning creditor was the only creditor, for
in fact the bankrupt had not carried on any business,
though, no doubt, he was a trader, sufficient for be
purposes of this Act.
Mr. Camberton, the solicitor to the petitioning
creditor, opposed any adjournment.
Mr. LAWRENCE said it was a very hard case on the
bankrupt, and an adjournment could not prejudice
any person.
His Hortoua said that he could not adjourn the
case without the consent of the petitioning creditor._
Mr. LAWRENCE then said that he would examine
Mr. Dolman, the petitioning creditor.
Mr. LAMBERT contended that the examination
could not be taken in order to prevent the choice.
Mr. LAWRENCE, on the contrary, urged that the
petitioning creditor's debt could be disputed, and his
Honour allowed the examination to be proceeded
with, in the course of which Mr. Dolman said that
his dealings with Mr. Lands were entered in big
account-books.

His HONOUR on this held that he could adjourn the
case for the production of the books, and the case W 0
adjcatrned for a week.
Mr. LAWRENCE said the bankrupt was a man - °,,
some property, and if the claim was made out Pi
would be paid at once, and the fiat superseded.
