BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RR JOHN EDWARD PTE,

This bankrupt, described as of Berkeley-square,
milliner, came up for his certificate. _ _

Mr. Robson said he appeared as solicitor for the
assignees, and, although perhaps the bankrupt was
deserving of censure in consequence of having given
his acceptances by way of accommodation, they did
not oppose the present application, as the bankrupt
had behaved extremely well in endeavouring to pro-
tect his creditors, for immediately that he discovered
that the parties in whose favour he had given his ac-
ceptances were not likely to take them up, he called
his creditors together, stated the facts, and offered to
assign his property for their benefit, and to pay ten
shillings in the pound by instalments, He (Mr. Rob-
son), who attended for large creditors, however, ob-
jected, and the present fiat was sued out, by which the
assignees had realized in four months sufficient to
pay one dividend of eight shillings in the pound, and
there was great probability that there would be a
further dividend of 2s 6d. or Ss.
His HoNoun said that it was for the benefit of all
parties that the Court should be applied to, for if the
trader was honest he obtained a full indemnity, and if
not he was justly punished. Under the circumstances
stated by Mr. Robson, he granted the certificate with
great satisfaction.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
CURRIE V. CURRIE AND OTHERS.

This was an action to recover the sum of 2001., the
penalty on a bond, given by the defendant, to secure
an annuity to the Plaintiff.
The defendants having suffered judgment to go by
default, the plaintiff's attorney submitted that he was
entitled to a verdict, without giving any evidence, and
he did
,not consider it necessary to address the jury.
The Learned SECONDARY asked whether the attor-
ney had been advised on that point, and was an
severed, that it was the opinion of the Special Pleader
that as the bond, was fully set out-in the declaration,
the default of plea entitled the plaintiff to a verdict.
He then told the jury that, although the defendants
had admitted the facts set forth in the declaration,
yet it was necessary to have a 'verdict, before judg-
ment could be entered up for the penalty on the
bond, which would entitle the plaintiff to enforce the
payment of the annuity from time to time, as it
became due.

The jury accordingly gave a verdict for 2001.
KILBY V. WARD.

This was an action to recover the sum of 201. 55.,
for nursing and attending on defendant's mother,
deceased. The case appeared to be entirely a family
quarrel, to get a general settlement of accounts, and
of no interest to any but the parties concerned.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.

(Beforo Mr. Justice PATTESON and Mr. Justice

MAULE).
ARSON.—The case of the youth:Middlebrook, agains
whom a true bill has been found for arson, was post.

poned to next Session, as was also the case of Rolland
Scroggs Herring, who was charged with embezzling
and stealing 9s. 2d., and other sums, the moneys of
John Clark and others, his masters, being trustees of
a society.
CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Thomas Jones, 27, a
labourer, was indicted with feloniously cutting and
wounding Elizabeth Connor, with intent to do her
some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Parry defended the prisoner.
From the statements of the Learned Counsel for
the prosecution it appeared that, on the 14th of Dec.,
the prosk cutrix and her sister were in a public-house
called the Noah's Ark, at Deptford, that the latter
there saw a person who owed her money, and upon
his refusing to pay she said he was no better than a
thief. It led to a quarrel, when that took piece which
constituted the present charge.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an assault,
but acquitted him of the charge of feloniously cutting
and wounding.
Mr. Justice PATTESON sentenced him to four
months' imprisonment, and hard labour.
FELONIOUSLY WOUNDING WITH A SWORD-STICK.
—John Robinson, 52, a respectable looking man, was
indicted with feloniously wounding Edward Hodges,
with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Baldwin de-
fended the prisoner.
From the statements of Mr. CLARKSON, it ap-
peared that the present prosecution was instituted by
a society which the licensed victuallers had established
for the purpose of protecting each other from fraud.
The prisoner at the bar called at the house of the pro-
secutor, who keeps the White Horse, Poplar, on the
morning of the 29th of December, and ordered a glass
of rum and half a pint of beer, and was leaving the
house without paying for it, when the pot•boy called
to his master, who on attempting to stop the prisoner
received a wound in his thigh from a sword which
the prisoner carried in a stick. The wound was but
slight, and the prisoner was given into custody.
The prosecutor and his pot-boy were called to
prove the charge against the prisoner.
Mr. BALDWIN addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner, submitting that it was clear there was no
feloniously wounding.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent
character.

Mr. Justice MAULE summed up.
The jury sound the prisoner Guilty of an assault.
Mr. Justice Menial sentenced him to one month's
imprisonment.
Helen Farr, aged 49, was indicted with feloniously
cutting and wounding William Farr, her husband,
with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.
It appeared that the prisoner had been out drinking
on boxing-day, from two o'clock till twelve o'clock,
and that upon her returning home in liquor, after
abusing the prosecutor she struck him a viojent blow
on the head with a pewter pot that was on the table,
which caused him to bleed profusely, and ultimately
rendered it necessary he should be sent to the hospital.
The prosecutor was a coal dealer, carrying on busi-
ness in Peter-street, Westminster, and appeared to
have been blessed with a partner who, judging from
her looks and acts, was a regular virago.
Mr. Carteen conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Horry was counsel for the prisoner.
After the prosecutor, the
policemanon behalf of the
who took the
prisoner into custody, and the house surgeonofWest-
minster Hospital had been examined
prosecution,
Mr. Hoanv addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner.
Several witnesses gave her the character of a
peaceable and sober women.
Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up ; and
The jury not being able to agree in the box, retired
to consider their verdict, and after an absence of about
an hour they returned into Court, and found the pri-
soner Guilty of a common assault.
Mr. Justice PATTESON sentenced the prisoner to
three months' imprisonment with hard labour.
