TULLOCK V. lIA.RTLEY

The further arguments in this part-heard case were
resumed, and occupied the whole day.

ROLLS' COURT, Aug. 2.
The whole morning was again occupied with the case
and cross case of Sheppard v. Morris, and Morris v.
Sheppard. It is a mere question of account, and of no
importance to any but the parties concerned,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 2.

IN THE MATTER OF MR. %Y. VARDY.

The bankrupt in this case carried on business as a
printer and bookseller in Newbury, Berkshire, and ap-
peared in Court, by adjournment, to have his final exa-
mination, his accounts notbeing ready at the previous in-
vestigation.

The assignees having assented to his passing,
Sir F. WILLIAMS, in allusion to an apparent discrepancy
in the bankrupt's books,said that he was afraid that in the
many other occupations attending the bankrupt's busi-
ness, he had neglected to attend to his accounts. He
(Sir F. Williams) thought if there were one thing more
to be observed by the fair trader, and more to be re-
spected than common honesty, that thing was to keep
his books clear. It was satisfactory to the cre-
ditors, and what they had a right to expect.
In many cases bankruptcies would be prevented
if those in trade attended more to the state of their
boOks, and observed from them the declension of their
prosperity.. He should most emphatically protest against
the system sometimes adopted by persons when they first
found themselves involved in difficulties of neglecting to
attend to their profit and loss accounts. In his opinion
that was the time when the strictest and most scruti-
nising attention was required from the tradesman both
on his own account and as a matter of honourable feel-
ing towards his creditors.

IN TIIE MATTER OF JOHN STUNMORE.
In this case the bankrupt had carried on the business of a
brush dealer in Charles-street, Grosvenor-square. lie had
borrowed at various times different sums of money of his sis-
ter, Charlotte Stunmore, and in January, 1832, he had given
her a memorandum stating that he was indebted to her
in the sum of 3871., and he had subsequently deposited
with her a lease of a furnished house as a security for
the debt. In the course of the present summer she had
got a judgment against her for the debt of the house, and
the furniture was taken possession of by the Sheriff.
She had, however, given up the house and furniture,
worth 6001. to the general body of the creditors, and
now sought to prove under the fiat for the debt
and interest, amounting to 4871. She underwent
a most rigid examination, and was highly com-
plimented by the Learned Commissioner on the
manner in which she had given her evidence, and the
proof was admitted.
Various other proofs were admitted, and the assignees
having been chosen, the meeting was adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

A young man named Archer, who had been previously
examined on the charge of dangerously injuring Richard
Sutherland in a boxing match, was again placed at the
bar for further examination.

Mr. Humphries appeared for the prisoner and applied
to the Bench that he might be bailed.

A certificate from the attending surgeon of Bartholo.
mews' Hospital having been put in stating that Suther•
land was still in a dangerous state, the prisoner was re•
minded to Thursday.
