Mr. LAWRANCE stated that the balance-sheet, which
had been prepared with great accuracy, was now filrd,
and he hoped his Honour would name the earliest day
possible for the certificate meeting.
Mr. BORRODAILE said, the balance-sheet had been filed
only on Saturday last, and therefore, as it had not been
on the file of the court ten clear days before the meeting,
an adjournment must of course take place.
Mr. LAWRANCE said he had no objection to an ad-
journment for three weeks.

His HONOUR accordingly adjourned the meeting for
hree wec lie.

Amongst the banking-houses on the list of creditors
are Mesias. Glyn and Co., Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and
Co., and Messrs. Smith and Payne. The sums due in
the two former cases are large, but secured.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
William Priseman was charged with committing the
following daring robbery :
James Tilby, a shopman in the service of Mr. Thorns,
of 44, Ludgate-hill, goldsmith and jeweller, said, that
about half-past nine o'clock that morning he observed
the prisoner purposely place his shoulder against a large
square of plate glass and brealc it. Before he could get
round the counter he observed that both his hands were
through the window and a silver watch in each of them.
When he got outside he collared the prisoner, and
thesh p, and a terrible scuffle ensued,
which would have eventually resulted in the prisoner's
escape,
dragged himad i
it
been for the arrival of the police. He
identified the property as being his master's.
James Ratcliff, 375, stated, that seeing a crowd about
Mr. Thorns's door, he entered the,shop, and found Prise-
roan struggling desperately with the last witness. He
immediately took him into custody, and during the
wane which ensued he got him down, and took the two
watches out of his hands; two rings were picked up and
brought into the shop by some other parties.
Edward Funnell, another constable, said that he went
to the assistance of the last officer, when the prisoner
struck him a violent blow and knocked his hat off, be-
sides tearing his clothes. At last they got him into the
street, and in the attempt to convey him to the station-
house another square of glass was broken.
Alderman!CorELAND asked the value of the glass and
other property.
lir. Tilby said the value of the watches was 71.; the
two ring • s found outside the window, 103. each; and the
broken square of glass 21.
The prisoner declined saying anything in his de-
fence ; and

Alderman COPELAND fully committed him to Newgato
for trial.

CLERKENWELL.

An unfortunate girl was placed at the bar before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, charged by police-constable 20 E division
with having assaulted him and rescued a prisoner.
The constable deposed that on Saturday night last he
saw a woman in the New-road behaving herself in a
most unbecoming manner, when he took her into cus-
tody. On their way to the station-house the prisoner
came up, interfered with him, scratched his face, and
caused the escape of the woman whom
,he had taken
into custody.
The prisoner (in tears) denied the charge, saying that
the policeman struck her on the ear, pulled out her ear-
ring, and tore her flesh.
Mr. TYItWHITT asked the constable whether it was
true that he tore her earring out of her ear?
The constable (hesitating)—l do not recollect.
Mr. TYRWHITT again asked him whether he pulled
her by the earring? The constable (in a .low tone of
voice)—l might. I don't know whether I did or not.
She was in liquor.
The prisoner, still crying, persisted in saying that he
tore the earring from out of her ear.
Mr. Trawnrrr directed Mr. Nesbitt, one of the
ushers of the Court, to examine her ear, and ascertain if
the flesh had been torn.
He did so, and answered in the affirmative.
Mr. TYRWHITT said, he considered the prisoner had
suffered sufficient punishment, and he discharged her.
He wished he could hare satisfactorily found how her
earring had been torn out.
She was then discharged.
