tinued, and sales to some ..xtent have been made at an
advance o' kl,and in two or three instances, for selections,
at id per lb. The European market, generally have an
improved character, and recent advices from America
have brought higher quotations, more especially tor
good and fine sorts of Kentucky. At the latest dates
there were nn vessels on fir this port, and freights were
still ruling high; it is therefore evident the importation
will be a very late one.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Befior Mr. Cotimmissiolier FANE.)

NEGLECT OF A SHERIFF'S OFFICER-IN RE H. T HOOLE.

This bsrikriipt, who had carrhd on business as a
grocer in. H;gh-street, Southwark, came up to pass his
last exeminstion, which bad been adjourned till this day.
The SOLICITOR to the assignees said that they did not
oppose the bankrui.t passing, as the accounts were no
doubt the best that the bankrupt could furnish, but they
had to complain of the conduct of one of the sheriff s
officers for the county of Surrey, for
.whose attendance
his Honour had granted a summons a few days since, in
order that he might t.e examined touching some pro-
perty which he had taken in execution, but he was not
in attendance. As the Croydon Assizes, however, were
on, it wa, just possible he might have some excua•",
although thtre was little doubt he had been used as
en instrument to defeat the general body of creditors,
as tieht judgments had been put in, and kept for six

week!. -
His HONOUR asked if the officer had been served per-
sonally, and on being answered in the affirmative, said
the solicitor might have a warrant. As to the bank-
rupt's conduct, it had been very uujust to his creditors
in gennal, to whom he owed 2,5001., and all his pro-
perty had been seiz,d by the parties who held the
executions; and who would get 20s. in the pound, whilst
the other creditors said they would 'not get a farthing.
This conduct would be taken into consideration when
the bankrupt came up fur his certificate, which would,
most certainly, be suspended, in order that his creditors
might have an opportunity of putting him in prison.
A creditor >aid, that if the Court withurew its pro-
tection from the bankrupt, he certainly would cause
the tankrupt to be taken in execution.
His 110NOUR said it was doing a good service.

MARLBRO'-STREET7.(THIS DAY.)

William Harrison was charged betore Mr. liaviwick
with uttering acounterfeit half-crown.

It appeared that on the previous evening, about half-
past eight, the prisoner entered the shop of Mr.
Rodrique, the stationer in Piccadilly, and desired to be
supplied with two sheets of paper, and a couple of
envelopes, in payment for which he tendered the half-
crown produced. Directly the shopman took up the
coln he detected it as being bad, and recognised the pri•
toner as being the person who had passed a similar coin
on the previous day. The prisoner was then given into
custody.
Mr HARDWICK remanded the prisoner for a week.
Edward Quait, a sturdy young fellow. was placed at
the bar, charged with being drunk and riotous, and
assaulting the police-constable in the execution of his
duty.
Police Constable 99 E, stated that about nine o'clock
last night, as he was on ddty in Chaple-street, Soho, he
saw the prisoner assaulting. a female, by knocking her
about from one side of the street to another, at the same
time using the grossest language. Witness went up to
him and desired him to 1. toe the female abbe, and go
quietly home. Instead of doing so, the prisoner swore
tha, he would not move an ineh, and defied him to do
his worst. The prisoner eventually became so riotous
that witness was obliged to take him to the station. On
their way to the latter place the prisoner struck him and
kicked him on his legs.
The prisoner expressed his sorrow for what he had
don-, and stild he was very much in I;qttor at the time.
IiARDWiCii said that a man was equally' answer=
able hi flit itfi* tot acts commti:ed when arm& as when
sober. He zhould, ititlattre. tine him 205., or in de-
