BANKRUPTCY.—(T HIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN RE BUCHANAN AND EDE.
These bankrupts were described as of Calcutta, mer-
chants, and to-day was appointed for their application
for certificate, which was granted without opposition.
IN RE WATSON.
This bankrupt had carried on business as a stove
grate-maker, in Wilson-street, Finsbury, and to-day was
appointed for has last examination.
Mr. Brown, the solicitor to the assignees, objected to
the accounts, as they had not been filed ten days before
the meeting, and contended that the expense of any
further adjournment ought to fall on the bankrupt.
The bankrupt's solicitor said that the bankrupt and
his son had been unremitting in their attendances to
make up the accounts, but the bankrupt had not had
any allowance.
His HONOUR said it would be too much to call on the
bankrupt to pay where he had no allowance, and the
question of costs must stand over.
The bankrupt's solicitor said the bankrupt had been
badly advised to submit to the fiat, for there was no
ground for it.
Adjourned for a fortnight.

INSO LVENT COURT-( THIS DAY.)

The insolvent had been out of business since 1842.
He was married in that year to a lady with an income
of 4001. a year, and he underwent a very rigid examina-
tion by the Court in the absence of his creditors. He
spent 3001. on a marriage tour ; 7001. in clothes ; 7001.
in law charges ; and 6001. in discount and interest on
bills. He owed 2,7001., and had 2,5001. owing, to him.
The insolvent gave an account of the debts he owed.
The CHIEF C( MMISSIONER said there had been reck-
less extravagance on the part of the insolvent; his
creditors, however, did not oppose. It was a pretty
exhibition. . .

Mr. CooKE urged some circumstances in mitigation.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—There is an old proverb, Mr,
Cook, “the least said the soonest mended."
The insolvent was discharged.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Emma Clifton, a well-dresred member of the " frail
sisterhood," was charged by Samuel Howard with up-
setting his coffee-stall, and breaking his cups and saucers.
It appeared that the complainant is proprietor of a
perambulating coffee stall, and in the way of business
had taken up his position, about two o'clock this morn-
ing, at the corner of Little Pancras-street, Tottenham-
court road. He had not remained there long when the de
fendant, who had partaken rather freely of the juice of the
juniper, went up to the stall, and requested complainant
to supply her with three cups of his mysterious beverage.
Somehow or other the complainant fancying that his fair
customer was bent on mischief, politely refused to serve
her. " Fair Emma," feeling much annoyed at the com-
plainant refusing to supply her demands, made a ru.,h
and capsized the stall and the whole of the coffee appa-
ratus, breaking eighteen cups and saucers, damaging
sundry plates of bread and butter, and spilling all the
coffee. She was proceeding to indulge in further harm-
less pranks, when a constable very opportunely arrived
and took her iu charge. The complainant, in a doleful
manlier, said he was a ruined man; it would take JBs.
to replace his stock in trade.
The defendant, notwithstanding the charge against
her, laughed, and seemed to treat the matter as a good
joke, said, she would pay the man for the damage, and
make him some other recompense for his trouble.

•
Mr. BINGHAM said he would consent to those terms,
but should detain her till the money was paid.
In the course of a few minutes the money was forth-
coming, and " fair Emma "left the court.

Ge—rg
e Suggins, a lad about 11 years of age, was
charged, by John Robb, footman, in the service of Robert
Read, Esq., with robbing him of two sovereigns and four
shillings. . _

The complainant stated that the prisoner was page in
the same service. Yesterday he had occasion to leave
the pantry for a few minutes, and on his return dis-
covered that some one had been to his box, and taken
out two sovereigns and tour shillings. He taxed the
prisoner with the theft, which, after some hesitation, he
admitted. He then gave him into custody. On his
being searched at the station, the money was found upon
him.

The prisoner admitted stealing the money, and was
sorry for it.
Mr. BINGHAM said, in this case, he thought, the strict
imprisonment would do more good than flogginv. He
should, therefore, commit him to the House of Correc-
tion for one month, and direct the chaplain to attend to
him while in prison.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY

William Goffee, a weaver, was charged with stealing
an earthen jar, containing four gallons of French brandy,
and a similar vessel, containing four gallons of pepper-
mint, from ➢lr. John Brown, landlord of the Duke of
York public house, York-street, Bethnal-green.
It appeared that on the evening 6f the 6th instant, the
back door of prosecutor's house had been left a-jar. Mrs.
Brown, fancying she heard a noise, quietly went out at
the front door, and on turning the corner of the premises
she perceived the prisoner stealthily emerging, with one
of the jars in his possession. lie hastily put down his
booty and scampered off, but was captured and given
into custody. Upon searching the cellar it was disco-
vered that one jar containing four gallons of brandy had
disappeared.
The prisoner, who made a rambling defence, was fully
committed for trial.
