BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Beforo Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD )

IN RE LYON AND LYON.-EXTENSIVE BILL TRANSACTIONS.

POST NUPTIAL SETTLEMENTS.

These bankrupts had carried on business as bill
brokers in Birchin-lane, City, and came up to-day to pass
their last examination, which had been adjourned for
investigation of the accounts.

The accounts were approved by the official assignee.
Mr.IIILLEauv, the solicitor to the assignees, said they
did not object to the bankrupt's passing, but he had to
complain that Mr. Thomas Lyon had assigned a policy
of insurance for 1,000: as a post nuptial settlement on
his wile and children. This was in July, 1847. when
the firm was in a hopeless state of insolvency. The as-
signees required that the bankrupt should concur in the
policy being given up.
Mr. LAWRENCE said that the bankrupt had no con-
trol over the trustees, and although the deed was not
executed till July last, it was in pursuance of an agree-
ment made in 1835.

Mr. lIILLEAnY submitted that there was no considera.
tion on the face of the deed.

His HoNoun did not consider that of importance,
as it was very questionable whether a voluntary convey-
ance would not stand good if the party was solvent at
the time he made it. He could not try the question as
to the solvency of the party, and dill not think that it
ought to prevent the bankrupt from passing his last ex-
amination, although it might be a subject for argument
when he came up for his certificate.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(T HIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. FRESHFIELD and a full bench of Magistrates.)
Wm. Bright was found guilty of breaking into and
stealing from a cottage, at Worplesden, various articles
of wearing apparel.
The prisoner pleaded Guilty. Three previous con-
victions were proved against him.
Sentenced to seven years' transportation.
John Baker was brought up on an indictment charg-
ing him with stealing, at Farnham, in the county of
Surrey, a bundle of turf, the value of one halfpenny.
The prosecutor stated that he distinctly saw the
prisoner take the turf from the stack, and he imme •
oiately charged him with the theft and gave him into
custody.
The constable who apprehended him said that he had
known the prisoner for upwards of thirty years, and
during the whole of that period he had never had any
reason for supposing him to be other than an honest and
hard-working man.
The prisoner was sentenced to one week's hard labour.
