TAL WAGGON ACCIDENT.—Last evening an in-
quest was held before Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on
the body of Mary Welch, aged 79 years. On Tuesday, the
2d inst., the deceased was crossing High-street, Stratford,
and, being very infirm, she did not perceive a waggon, be-
longing to Messrs. Ruffold and Co., carriers, proceeding to-
wards Essex. She was knocked down by the front horse,
and both the off wheels of the waggon passed over her legs.
Her screams alarmed the driver, who was walking on the
near side of the horses, and the waggon was immediately
stopped. The poor old woman was found lying under the
wheel, and when removed both her legs were discovered to
be broken. She was conveyed to the hospital, where she
expired on Wednesday last. Verdict, "Accidental death."
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The ar-
rivals this week are very limited. An advance of Is. to 2s.
per quarter is demanded on wheat, but buyers are cautious,
and only a small extent of business is done. Oats and shell-
ing in fair request at rather more money. Barley is more
readily sold than of late, and makes full prices. In beans no
alteration.
LIE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES AT LEEDS.--
A reward of 5001. is offered for the apprehension and convic-
tion of Frederick, Robert, and William Glover, late of Leeds,

them one-third of the amount will be paid. The amount of the
forgeries is variously stated, as exceeding 30,000/., and even
50,0001.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

ATTORNEY-OENF.RAL V. THE MERCHANT ADVENTURERS OF

BRISTOL.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Master of the
Rolls. The facts are as follow :—Edward Coulston left cer-
tain estates in trust with the Corporation of the Merchant
Adventurers of Bristol in 1705, to be devoted to the erection
of an hospital or almshouses in that city, for the reception of
100 boys, who were to be supported, educated, and provided
with trades. The question at issue was, whether or riot the
trustees were entitled to any beneficial interest in the trusts,
and turned upon the technical construction of the deed vest-
ing the trusts in the defendants, who laid claim to the sur-
plus that had accrued since the foundation of the charity, to
indemnify them against certain stuns which they had ad-
vanced, but which on the other side it was contended were
provided fur from casual sources specified in the deed.
The Attorney-General opened the case, and was followed
by Mr. Twiss on the same side.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULLORN.)
IN nit RAINICY.
This day having been appointed for the bankrupt's last
examination,
Mr. FRAMPTON, solicitor for the bankrupt, requested that
the matter might be postponed, as, although they had been
busily engaged with the accountant (Mr. Wright) for some
days past, they had been unable to make a statement of
accounts in such a complete state as would warrant
them in producing it in Court. They requested, therefore,
that his Honour would grant them a postponement for two
months. This would give the bankrupt an opportunity of
bringing his accounts up satisfactorily, and enable them to send
them in to the official assignee at the end of six weeks, giv-
ing him thereby a fortnight to examine into their correct•
ness. He might inform his Honour that they had already
progressed in some degree, for they had delivered in accounts
to the amount of 4,0001.; but there still remained about
eighty to examine_ Mr. Payne (the trade assignee) had a
claim to prefer relative to one of these accounts, in connexion
with some pr"perty lodged with Coutts and Co.; and, until
that question was decided, it would be folly for them to make
up the statement in a hasty and imperfect manner.
The official assignee ( Mr. Green ) concurred in the applica-
tion. He conceived that time was necessary to furnish a
satisfactory statement.
After some further conversation, the final examination was
adjourned to the 14th of May.
'lhes
questions
olicitorfor
ton( hetofe bankrupt.th
creditors (Dr. Ogle) wished to
put a few
M nno Co°b objection tsiaoind tot urge h a theaZ'aaisn against retainedth that
g gentleman's
e Amiar.nl2,saeixn.aeyrn.iniHnge
had
the baukropt, and therefore he wished it understood that he .

did not interfere with his right of doing so, but as
Rainey did not come prepared for any examination in con-
equence of the imperfect state of his balance-sheet, be
trusted that any question, excepting in the matter of pl?:
perty, and with a view to such property being made avaP-0
able, would not be pressed. He would therefore put it to tb
Learned Gentleman whether he would not referp to leave
the matter in the hands of the assi
proper g nees, or wait the bine
when the subject would come in its course before his
Honour.
After some further remarks his Honour permitted the
solicitor to put his questions, at the same time requesting
him to confine these to matters important to the estate.
Mr. COOKE suggested that the cash book of the bankrupt
would furnish every information desired by Ur. Ogle, blt°
this course not being deemed satisfactory by that gentleman
solicitor, he proceeded to subject the bankrupt to exam
ins'
tion.
The Solicitor then began a very objectionable course of
examination, which was, after some little time stopped by _
His HoNous, who said that he did not me what then
questions had to do with the estate. The object seetneu
0i
lilt,/

rather to be to show up the bankrupt as a man
ot
breach of trust. The proper period for such a course
amination would be when the bankrupt came up for his
tificate, when these questions might be put with great P'
priety.
The Solicitor proceeded to put another question, when
His HONOUR said that it was quite plain what the etrt
of the examination was, that these questions prematuretio
asked should be the means of holding Mr. Rilingapno
reprobation. He (the Commissioner) considered tbs.•
creditor had in that stage any right to put such questo;h
The law did indeed give the creditor power to ask ster
questions, when the bankrupt came up for his certled
but it never contemplated that the bankrupt should be astbs
a series of questions not with the view of bettering tie
estate, but of holding him up to scorn and continuelP
could not therefore allow this course of examination to es3/1
thine.
Mr. COOKE was proceeding to address the Court, tebellber
His HoNouri desired that he should hear nothing
on either aide. He thought he had sufficiently marls
sense of the impropriety of the course of examination,
he desired that the matter should be dropped. A letter,
Mr. PAYNE then put questions relative to papers an- And
still in the possession of the bankrupt or his solicitor,
the
they were ordered by his Honour to be delivered oP
official assignees forthwith.

British or dissenting school. The order ill "ljeolf
of the 10th of August, 1840, makes the APPrcIV,-1 *i•
an archbishop an incident in the appointment

epectors of Church of England schools alone. Si%
the
Inspectors have been appointed, in whose nomination
Archbishop has in no respect interfered, and three mote
e
thi" s class are about to b apointed.
Their Lordships have agreed (vide Minutes 1842-3, 1)11-4,.
537) that they will not proceed to recommend any candidP;
to her Majesty as an inspector of schools connected with
British and Foreign School Society until they have °lv.
suited the committee of that society, and found that the can'
didate has their approval.
"In like manner their Lordships have agreed to consult t 1):
Education Committee of the General Assembly of the Gila%
of Scotland as to the appointment of any inspectors of schoittl
Dols
which are by law, or by their constitution, connected w
that church. (Vide Minutes, 1839-40, pages 19 and 20.)
,‘The Committee of Council have been of opinion that
unless each inspector possessed the confidence of the religious
lcommunion with which the schools visited by him titer
connected, he would not usefully co-operate with the sat°
1,4
managers. Their Lordships have, therefore, in proceeding "
nominate inspectors, been ready to consult the Central 13ora,
watching over the interests of any distinct class of schools, l
llya
order to avoid the appointment of any person who especia
on religious grounds did not enjoy their confidence. IC° in'
Spector is employed in the visitation of other schools than
those for the examination of which he is appointed, e%cePt
on the direct and formal invitation of their managers, which
rarely occurs.
