BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN RE GOULTY.

This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a mast and
oar maker at Milbank, came up for his certificate.
Mr. Nrcrionts said that the bankrupt's expenditure had
very greatly exceeded his profits during the two years over
which his balance-sheet extended; the profits had'only been
8961. 95.; his trade expenses 6931., leaving a net profit of
2021., and during the same his household expenses were
8871. 9s. 4d., but as there were good debts to the amount of
2,5001., and the prospect of a fair dividend, the assignees did
not wish to press an opposition.
The bankrupt said his expenses had been so large in con-
sequence of having taken a house at Brixton, in the hope of
establishing his daughters in a ladies' school.

His HO,;-4'OUP. said, that under all the circumstances he
would grant the certificate.

GILPIN V. RUGG.

This was a summons under the Small Debts Act ; the plain-
tiff is a tailor, the defendant a surgeon, and this was a de-
mand of 91. is. 4d. debt, and 141. ss. costs.
It appeared that the plaintiff had undertaken to give credit
for eighteen months, but brought an action before that time
had expired. The defendant pleaded to the action, but not
having pleaded in proper form a verdict went against him.
It was now urged that the defendant had vexatiously de-
fended the action.

His HoNoun said the defendant had not vexatiously, but
very properly done so, and it was only by the error of his at-
torney that the plaintiff was not nonsuited. He (his Honour)
had power to deprive the plaintiff of costs.
The defendant was ordered to pay 10s. per month.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Alderman HUGHES HUGHES.)
FELONY.—Two prisoners, named Sprignell (a cabman), and
Duckett (a printer), were charged, the former with stealing a
brooch from the person of Elizabeth Hearn, and the other
with receiving the same.
From the evidence, it appeared that the prosecutrix hay •
ing left the Surrey Theatre on the night of the alleged rob-
bery, went into a public-home in the neighbourhood (the
Equestrian public-house). Both prisoners were there at the
time, and a squabble ensued, during which Sprignell
snatched the brooch in question from the bosom of the prose-
cutrix and then ran away, pursued by the prosecutrix, and
fAlowed by the other prisoner, who overtook and threw her
down. Both prisoners were subsequently captured and
taken to the station-house, but the property was not found.
The RECORDER having summed up, the jury found a ver-
dict of Guilty against both prisoners.
It appeared that Duckett had been convicted before of a
felony.
The RECORDER sentenced both prisoners to ten years!
transportation. _ _ _

Se;,eral prisoners pleaded guilty to felony, and were sen
teuced to imprisonment for short periods.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
James Stillford, formerly in the employment of Mr. Thomas
Jennings, newsvender, No. 5, Crown-street, Finsbury, was
charged as follows :—_
_ _

M. Jennings stated that the prisoner was in his employ-
ment up to the 20th of March last, but that during that day
he had left it. On the 22d he found that he had called at
one of his customers in Artillery-ground, and demanded the
paper, which was given him. O❑ the 29th he went to the
house of Mr. Brunkard, No. 7, Queen-street, Finsbury, and
received the Times newspaper, and 9d. for the reading of it,
and since that period witness had discovered that he had em-
bezzled various sums, and obtained newspapers of several of
his customers in a similar manner.

The prisoner, on being asked if he had anything to say, re-
plied, " Nothing," and the depositions were ordered to be
made out for the prisoner's committal, but he was ordered to
be brought up again.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Eliza Smith and William Cox were brought before Mr.
Bingham, charged with stealing a shawl, the property of
Mrs. Sarah Ann Tanner, No. 9, Loyd's place, Brompton.

Police-constable, 140 C, said he duty about two
o'clock this morning in the Haymarket, when two boys came
up and informed that a lady had been knocked down and
robbed of a shawl, and that the thieves had made off in the
direction of St. Martin's-lane. Witness immediately went
in pursuit, and in Orange .street came up with the prisoners.
Directly they caught sight of him the man ran away. The
woman dropped the shawl, now produced, and was about
following her companion's example, when witness took her
into custody. On their way to the station the male prisoner
came up, and told the woman " to keep it dark, and it would
be all right." Witness then took him into custody, and,
after some trouble, managed to get them both to the station.
John flatten, an intell gent lad, about 14 years of age, said
he was in the Haymarket about two o'clock this morning,
when he saw the female prisoner walk up to a lady, and, after
knocking her down, take a shawl from her shoulders. She
then ran away, follow ed by the other prisoner. Witness sub-
sequently gave information of what he had seen to a police-
constable.
Sarah Ann Tanner said she got out of a cab in the Hay-
market about a quarter to two this morning, and was pro-
ceeding towards Piccadilly, when the female prisoner, whom
she had previously observed following her, came behind her
and knocked her down. The blow was so violent that it was
some minutes before she recovered from its effects, when she
discovered that her shawl had been torn from her shoulders.
She proceeded to the police-station, and gave information to
the inspector on duty of the robbery. Whilst she was doing
so the two prisoners were brought in by the first witness,
when she identified the female prisoner as the person who
had knocked her down. She also identified the shawl as
being her property, and worth about 41.
The prisoner Smith denied the charge, and said she had
never seen the shawl.

Cox, in defence, denied all knowledge of the female pri-
soner, and said he was employed at the Lyceum Theatre as
a supernumerary. He was on his way home from the latter
place when the constable came up to him and took him into
custody.
The prisoners were remanded till to-morrow.

FURTHER RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yes-
terday another rise in the price of bread was made by the
bakers throughout the metropolis—those in the trade deno-
minated cheap bakers, making an advance of from a half-
penny to a penny on the 41b. loaf, which is now from 10d. to
no. The best bread sells at ls. and Is. Old. per loaf.
Household or rye bread produces 9d.
IMPORTATION OF FLOUR.—A vessel arrived in the
East India Docks from Madras and Trinidad respectively,
has brought from the latter mentioned place 899 barrels of
flour. An arrival has also just taken place from Bremen of
an entire cargo, comprising I,o9o.barrels offlour, the produce
of the Ilanseatic district mentioned.
IMPORT OF PROVISIONS INTO LEITH.—The arrivals
of foreign grain at Leith have been upwards of 36,000 quar-
ters weekly for some time back, principally from the lower
Baltic ports. On the opening of the Russian rivers there
will probably be a great increase in the imports of rye, rye
meal, oats, &c. In the scarcity of British ships for charter,
foreign vessels have been sent from this to Riga, and other
ports. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thusday last brought
4,029 quarters of wheat, 14,837 quarters barley, and 945
quarters oats, besides tares, peas, and potatoes.—Edinburgh
paper.

lege la to be continued during the session on appeal days,
