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
the fiat was superseded on his pay iug in the pour.d.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 1,29,11., 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 asiignee 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 Commissior er.

His HONOUR said that the only complaint which ap-
peared to bear against the bankrupt was the excessive
expenditure over the profits, but the bankrupt had stated
that he only knew of one thing in which he had incurred
disproportionate expense, and that was iu the education
of his children. His Honour 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 foriner fiat to
be first paid out of the present estate, as in 1844 there
were no assets, but it was necessary for the Learned
Commissioner to give leave to move the Court of Review.
His Hosoun said he could not do so—he did not see
why this court 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 not receive one shilling from that source, and was
the only court 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.—WOUDGATE V. ALLEN.

The plaintiff in this action is a law stationer in
Coleman-street, arid the defendant is a news a;_-,ent in
Goswell-street-road. The action was brought to recover
compensation for criminal conversation with the plain-
tiff's wife.

The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de-
fault, the present was an inquiry to assess damages.
Mr. Tnostas appeared 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,
therefore, 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 plaintiff's 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.
Woodgate left her husband's house with the defendant.
The Learned SECONDARY said that the jury had only
to consider what amount of damages the plaintiff was
entitled to. The Learned Counsel bad told them that
the defendant was in humble circumstances, and that
the plaintiff did not seek for heavy damages.
The jury gave a verdict for 201.

PARRY V. COCKBURN.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
331. ss. 6d., for the insertion of advertisements in the
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette and the Journal of
Commerce. The defendant is a stationer in Aldgate.
Mr. J. Stone, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney was
called, and proved that a letter was written to defendant
for the amount of advertisements, which were for the
cure of ringworm, and for beautifying the complexion of
the fair sex. Defindaut 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.

CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
FORGING A CHEQUE.—James Jenkins, aged 28, a milk-
man, and Frederick Williamson, aged 32, a painter, were
indicted for uttering a forged cheque on Messrs. Ran-
som, the bankers, of Pall-mall, purporting to be signed
by Mr. Charles Kinnear, with intent to defraud Mr.
Benjamin Prew, a clothier, carrying on business in
Hot bore.
Mr. Brairee appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Bal-
lantine for Williamson, and Mr. Charnock for Jenkins.
It appeared that the prisoners came into the shop of
Mr. Prew, and the one having purchased a coat and a
pair or trousers, and the other simply a pair of trousers,
hey tendered in pa3ment the cheque in question. Mr.
l'rew however, do clink d to part with the things,
•hich came to four p.Junds, or to cash the cheque,
mill he had sent it to the bank. He sent his
ihopman with it, but as it was found to have been
urged, payment was of course refused. Williamson gave
tits address at 31, Grays' Inn lane, which was found to
fictitious. The prisoners shortly after cams in for
the change, but they were banded o'er to the pollee.

Jenhins gave hi< card, stating that he was a milkman
carrying on at 5, Churen,trter, Chelsegh
11;at he t‘us a respect,.ble man. T addrrss
found to be correct.

Mr. Jackson, a ult-t k in Messrs. Raniom's, proved•gr•
Prew's shopman presenting the cheque and refusing
payment. Mr. Kinnear kept an accrAint at the bank►
but his signature was forged.
lioirLar stated that he kept an account at the
bank, and that his signature to the cheque was forged'
The signature was not at all like his. The cheque pro•.
duced and seven others had been abstrac ed from big
cheque hon-k. He did tn,t know either of the prisoners.
Mr. BALLANTINE declined to offer any observations to
the jury on beh,ll of his client.

several will-less,. gave J, skins a good character, and
described him as a respectable tradesman.
The jury found Williamson Guilty, and Acquitted
Jenkins.
Williamson and a man named Benjamin French, ag.ed
40, arid Beset ibed as a carpenter, were then indicted for
Moni.,usl) forging an order for the payment of 171. 65.,
with intent to defraud Mr. Christopher Marsh, 11
carpenter.
It appeared that the prisoners went to the shop of the
prosecutor, and after purchasing some deals, tenderedl
cheque in payment. Tile prosecutor, however, preferred
to have one in the name of the person actually deall.eg
with him. Wiliiamson said he had no form with
him, but at the request of the prosecutor he wrote
cheque fur 171. Gs. on a blank sheet of paper, and signe4
the name of "James E. Green " to it. The cheque vies
of course refused payment, as no person of that nets:
kept an account at the bank. A person named Green
kept an account, but he spelt his name differentlP
Williamson, it appeared, had gone by the name of Jolla
Arthur Catton. French was taken into custody at the
shop of Mr. Kinnear, No. 16, Gerard-street, Soho, vvh°'"
name was forged in the last case. French was present,
when Williamson signed the cheque.
Williamson was found Guilty, and French Acquitted.
Both prisoners were then indicted for feloniously at:
tering a forged order on Messrs. Ransom, for the of
went of 121. 175., with intent to defraud Mr. Henri
Dearlove, a timber dealer, in the Commercial-road, well
knowing the same to be forged.
The case was almost similar to the last. The evidence
was also similar.

Williamson said he had been the victim of some deer
laid scheme, which he had been, aa yet, unable to till"
ravel.

The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced Williamson to be
transported for seven years.
DEFRAUDING THE ST. MARTIN'S SAVINGS' BAr4Ol
Esther Raggett, a married woman, aged 39, and Joseph
Raggett, 14, her son, were indicted for feloniousli
uttering a forged order for the payment of 20/, with
intent to defraud Nicholas Lord Bexley, and others,
trustees of the St. Martin's Savings' Bank.
Mr. DOANE appeared for the prosecution. It appeared
that the female prisoner had managed, by false repress
,?;
tations at the bank with respect to her husband, whotnauf
stated to be in a dying state, to obtain the payment °,
the 201 which he had been enabled to save from '-
earnings as a labourer, which she squandered in extra
vagance. He did not, however, intend to offer any ari;
dente against the prisoners, as the husband of the fenis.
did not wish the case carried further. He trusted thtals
lenity would be a warning to the female prisoner and
others.

The prisoners were then found Not Guilty, and dio
charged.

(Before the RECoRDER.)
The trial of Alexander Wl!beam, and another, who ore
charged with feloniously utter;ng a (urged bill of e 5
change for 5001.. with intent to defraud Mr. Ric"
