BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE WOOD.
This bankrupt, who had carried on business in Grace-
church-street as an ironmonger, came up this day for his
certificate, and was opposed on behalf of a creditor, Mr.
Hinton.
It appeared that he was first bankrupt in 1844, but
thtl fiat was superseded on his paying 55. in the pour.d.
Since then he had speculated in houses, and wines, and
merchandise, in all which he had lost money. During
the last two years his losses had been 1.2941., and during
the same period his house expenses had been 1,0001., and
the trade expenses 9001. The present assets were little
more than sufficient to pay the costs of working the fiat.
The official assignee said that the assignees were per-
fectly satisfied with the books and accounts of the bank-
rupt, and he had been even complimented by the
Learned Commiasior sr.
His HONOUR said that the only complaint which ap-
peared to bear against the bankrupt was the excessive
expenditure over the pr. fits, but the bankrupt had stated
that ho only knew of one thing in which he had incurred
dispr. .portionate expense, and that was in the education
of his children. His Honoar said that item would cover
the excess, and although it was one which was the most
justifiable, yet traders must not injure their creditors to
educate their families. Under all the circumstances, he
thought the suspension of the certificate for three months
would meet the justice of the case.—His Honour granted
protection.
An application was made in this case under peculiar
circumstances ; it was for the costs of the former fiat to
bu first paid out of the present estate, as in 1844 there
were no assets, but it was necessary for the Learned
Conireissioner to give leave to move the Court of Review.
His lioNoun said he could not do so—h,, did not see
why this eon: t and its officers should not be paid before
any one else. lie had seen a paragraph in one of the
papers that this court was paid from the Treasury, but
it did rit.t, r. ceive one shilling from that source, and was
the only co,art in the kingdom which did not.
BIRMINGHAM AND BOSTON DIRECT RAILWAY.
TO-day was appointed for the last examination under
the fiat issued for winding up the affairs of this company,
but the accounts not being yet prepared the case was
adjourned.

SECONDARIES-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
CRIM. CON.—WOE DGATE V. ALLEN.
The plaintiff in this action is a law stationer in
Coleman-street. and the defendant is a news a ent in
Goswell-street•road. The action was brought to recover
compensation for criminal conversation with the plain-
till's wife.
• The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de-
fault, the present was an inquiry to assess damages.
Mr. THOMAS apptared for the plaintiff, and said
that the defendant having suffered judgment to
go by default, had admitted the allegations
contained in the declaration, and it would,
th+refore, be unnecessary to call witnesses to prove
the facts, and as the plaintiff did not seek for heavy
damages, in consequence of the defendant (who is a near
relation by marriage) being in humble circumstances,
it would be only necessary to show that until Mrs.
Woodgate formed her improper intimacy with the de-
fendant, she and the plaintiff had lived on happy terms.
The plaintiffs wife had a child by him, but since this
occurrence a separation had taken place, and Mrs. Wood •
gate had taken away the child, the loss of whose society
was very painful to plaintiff's feelings.
Mrs. Jane Taylor was called to prove that the plaintiff
and his wife were married about four years ago, and
lived apparently happy together till the intimacy took
place between Mrs. Woodgate and the defendant. Mrs.
‘Voodgate left her husband's house with the defendant.
The Learned SECONDARY said that the jury had only
to consider vi hat amount of damages the plaintiff was
entitled to. The Leaned Counsel had told them that
the defendant was in humble circumstances, and that
the plaintiff did riot seek for heavy damages.
The jury gave a verdict for 20/.
PARRY U. COCKBURN.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
331. 59. 6d., for the insertion of advertisements in the
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette and the Journal of
Commerce. The defendant is a stationer in Aldgiste.
Mr. J. Stone, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney was
called, and proved that a letter was written to defendant
fur the amount of advertisements, which were for the
cure of ringworm, and for beautifying the complexion of
the fair sex. Deft nr:aut answered the letter, stating
that it was not convenient to settle the account, but
would give a bill at two months, but did not.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed.

MARKET .NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
We have to rt.t ott the arrival or a very moderate
supply of English Wt.( at during the present week, and
the stands were sct.ntiry tilled with samples of both red
ar:d white. Owing to the thin attendance of buyers,
the demand tor all dct criptions was in a Auggish state,
at unaltered quotations. Exceedingly little business
was doing in Foreign Wheats, yet the holders refused to
accept lower prices. Most of the late large arrivals of
Foreign Barley having been cleared off, the trade was
steady, at late rates. There was rather more doing in
Malt, and most of the factors refused to sell, except at
a trifle more money. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Flour were exceedingly dull, but not cheaper.

21 Calves, from abroad. The numbers of Sheep were
moderately extensive, while the trade was firm at fully
the late advance in the prices, the primest old Downs
selling at 5s 6d per bibs. Lambs, the supply of which
pas large, moved oil heavily, at a decline in value of 4d
per 81hs. The Veal trade was heavy, and the rates de-
clined quite 2d per 81bs. In Pigs very little was doing.
Mitch Cows were held at from 161 to 181 5s each, in.
eluding their small Calf.
