ROLLS' C EIAMBERS.

To-day the affairs of the Legal, Clerical, and
Medical Co-operative Society, Marylebone-road,
were brought before Mr. Hawkins, chief clerk.
Mr. Butt, who appealed for a creditornamed Frank-
lin, applied that Mr. Robertson, who was the liqui-
dator and principal shareholder, should proceed in
order that the creditors might be paid. Mr. Robert-
son attended and asked for time. Mr. Butt thought
sufficient time had been given. The winding-
up order was in July, and the creditors had
not been paid. The debts were £l,OOO, and
the surplus capital, £l,OOO, of which Mr.
Robertson held shares to £BOO. Ile asked that a
call should be made. Mr. Robertson wished for
further time to go into the accounts. He wished
to avoid litigation aad expense. If matters were
pressed the assets might not be realised. Mr. Butt
remarked that by the winding-order all proceedings
had been stopped. The Chief Clerk said he would
give to the 21th instant, and then the liquidators
could give an estimate of the assets, and it
would be seen as to the course to be adopted to
pay the creditors.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. Reed applied to the Chief Judge this morn-
ing in the matter of the Rev. Mr. Peck, vicar of
Aston Juxta, Birmingham, under the following
circumstances:—Mr. Peck became insolvent in 1861,
and was adjudicated a bankrupt in 1862. The
living was sequestrated. Two of the claimants
under the sequestration had been paid ; but one
creditor still remained iu possession. Funds had
since come into Court as the result of a Chancery
snit, and it was now asked that a revesting order
should be issued in the insolvency, on the ground
that all insolvent debts had been paid, and that
the resulting interest of the bankruptcy in the
property had been satisfied by the payment of all
the debts under the insolvency. Ills lordship said
he would grant the order ; but as there possibly
might be other creditors, a final dividend meeting
must be advertised.

POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S.—James Pearson,
porter, in the employ of. Mr. Campbell, jeweller
and watchmaker, of No. 40, Tottenham-court-
road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with steal-
ing a watch and other articles, the property of his
employer.
Mr. Campbell said that the prisoner was em-
ploye 1 by him as a watchman i❑ his house on Sun-
day, and having been missing property for some
time past, and not being able to trace the thieves,
he went to George-street Station and employed a de-
tective, who found that the prisoner had entered
the shop by getting through a small fanlight over
a door leading from the back parlour into the shop.
On taxing the prisoner with having entered the
shop, he denied it, but on the detective telling him
he had better give up any property he had he
handed over a watch, a pair of earrings, two rings,
two silver thimbles, and other articles.
Boyal, detective E division, said that last
night, on asking the prisoner what property he had
about Lim, he denied having any ; but subse-
quently, on proving that he had been into the shop,
he produced a watch from his pocket and the other
articles from a piece of paper, said that was all he
had taken, and the prosecutor identified it as his
property.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner whether he
would have the case settled by him or by a
jury?
The prisoner said he would have it settled at
once.

Boyal having asked for a remand, Mr. Tyrwhitt
granted the application.
