BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FON ELAN QUE.)
IN RE SETTINGS.
COSTS.—In this case, in which the bankrupt had
carried on business as a hotel keeper at Cromer,
Norfolk, Mr. LUCAS applied for the costs of the cre-
ditors opposing the bankrupt's passing his last
examination awl certificate, on the ground of fraudu-
lent concealment of property. On the last occasion
it was stated that the expense had been very great,
in consequence of the necessity of having to bring
witnesses to town to prove every trifling circum-
stance, and his Honour then observed that it would
be a great saving of expense if evidence could be
taken in the country by some competent person. He
thought_ it was a case in which the costs ought to be
allowed, and he now signed the order.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A well dressed elderly man, with an enormous pair
of whiskers, and a fierce expression of countenance,
who gave his name as Captain Allen, and described
himself as "an old soldier and a magistrate," was
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine on a charge of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

It appeared that the prisoner arrived at the entrance
of the Adelphi Theatre in a cab last night, at about
half past eight o'clock. He was very drunk. On
getting out of the cab, he tossed with the cabman for
sixpence, and lost it. He then went into the theatre,
hut, after paying and getting his cheque, he twice
fell on the stepi. The policeman on duty, A 162,
told him he could not be allowed to go into the boxes
in that state, and he insisted on being admitted, de-
claring that he was an old soldier and a magistrate,
and warned the constable to " meddle with him on
his peril." The door-keeper having returned his
money, he was removed. He refused to leave the
door, and became so riotous, that it was necessary to
take him in charge.
The prisoner vehemently denied the charge, and
he called several witnesses who averred that he was
perfectly sober at five o
:.übject to fits of "excitability." Great
'clock in the afternoon, and at
eleven o'clock at night (when he was bailed), but
w
as
were made that the inspectors on duty
ct ho amt phi
ae
would not suffer him to be bailed earlier, though re-
in:.
peated applications were made.
In answer to this evidence, Inspectors Dodd and
Black both declared on oath that the prisoner was
reeling drunk when at the station. That they could
not suffer him to be bailed earlier, and that even at
the last moment the propriety of liberating him was
doubtful, but they considered they were giving him
into good hands as his bail were respectable men, and
were perfectly sober.
The witnesses were severally recalled, and minutely
questioned, and all insisted that he was very drunk.
Nearly the whole time the prisoner was in the
dock he was pointing at the constable and at Mr.
Inspector Black, and interrupting the proceedings by
demanding their names When the opportunity of
cross-examining the constable was offered him, he
exclaimed, with much gesticulation, " Fellow I but
that I was unwilling to wrong the laws of my coun-
try, I would have killed thee with this stick !"
Mr. JARDINE—It is very well for you you did nwt.
Prisoner—l don't know that ; such a fellow ()tight
to he killed. For my part, I never 'was in custody
before, except with Napoleon.—(A laugh.)
Mr. JARDINE said he had no doubt whatever that
the prisoner was drunk. He would fine him 1/.
Prisoner—Very well, I'll pay it i • but I must have
that fellow's name (pointing at Mr. Black); I'll
bring an action against him. •
Nobody, however, seemed willing to infirm him on
this point, and he left the court still calling upon
some one to "get that fellow's name," as he passed
along the passage to the street.

THAMES.--(THIS'DAY.)
Harvey Boram was charged with ferociously as-
saultinz an old woman, nearly seventy years- of age,
named Ann Evans.
. The poor creature, who has been several days in
the hospital tinder medical treatment for the injuries
she had received, was obliged to be carried into.court.
She stated she had known the prisoner for five years,
both of them residing in Zion-sqUare,- Rosemary-
lane. On Friday night last, _as she was going out,
she was stopped by the prisoner, who accused her of
having told lies, and trade mischief between him and
his wife. She denied the charge, and he knocked her
down. He then beat her about the head and kicked
her dreadfully, until she became insensible.
Mary Evans, daughter of the prosecutrix, and a
young Woman, named Mary Locke, who witnessed
part of the occurrence, corroborated this evidence.
For the defence, the prisoner contented himself
with saying that "he never touched her—he had too
much respect for her."
Mr. YARDLEY said he was almost at a loss for
terms
sufficiently stn g to express his indignation at
It.hieL.prisoner's cOndurcot.- He should give him the very
punishment the law allowed him to inflict,
and sentenced him to pay a fine of .51., or two months'
imprisonment with hard labour.
The fellow was locked up in default.

ACCIDENT ON TilE LIMERICK AND WATERFORD
LAILWAY.—Last evenin(> (Friday) an accident occurred
-c"1 the Dint-rick and Waterford Railway, by which the
patent metal bridge at Ballysimon sustained much
damage, but We are happy to state no life was lost. As
.the Glengall engine was returning to this city from the
ballast pits, with twelve unladen waggons,- the axle of
the second last on the rail broke, between Peafield-
.
bridge and Baliysimon, when it got off the train. The
engine was travelling at the rate of sixteen miles an
hoar, and oil reaching Ballysimon bridge__ the others
waggons tumbled off, %heii Tthe Naito. :Went smash
through the bridge, tearing away five of the ditigimal
bracings, and threo vertical bolts, notwithstanding which
the structure never lust its cumbre, or vertical position.
The damage sustained is being made good, and the
