Act to justify such an arbitrary power as was exercised
by the commissioners, and set forth in the bye-law, and un •
less for the public good were not empowered to compel
a person to carry a sewer thirty feet beyond the spot he
might require it. If it was held to be good, they might
compel a pers-on building houses to carry a sewer 200
feet further than was necessary, on the supposition that
the public would be thereby benefited. He then went
on to deal with the other objections, all of which he held
were fatal, and trusted the Court would make the rule
absolute, in order that the whole matter might come be-
fore the review of the Court.
Mr. Bristow and Mr. Higgins followed on the same
side.
The COURT conferred together for some time, but
took time to consider.

BAIL COURT, Nov. 23.

YATES V. THE COMMISSIONERS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT
OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER.—CONSTRUCTION
OF THE LANDS' CLAUSFS CONSOLIDATION ACT.
Mr. WORDSWORTH, on behalf of Mr. Yates, applied
for a rule, directed to the Commissioners for the Im-
provement of the City of Westminster, calling on them
to show cause why they did not deliver up to Mr. Yates
the appointment of an arbitrator, in order that it
might be made a rule of Court to enforce an award.
The question would affect the construction of the
Lands' Clauses Consolidation Act, as passed in the last
session of Parliament, His client was the proprietor
and occupier of some premises in Tothill-street, West-
minster, and he received notice from the Commissioners
that his property was required for the purposes of the
Act under which they were appointed. Mr. Yates sent
in his claim, and th• matter under certain provisions
was referred to arbitration. The result was that the
sum of 1,7261.85. was awarded to Mr. Yates. That award
gave great dissatisfaction to the Commissioners, who
were determined to resist it. By the Act appointing
the Commissioners, the Lands' Clauses Consolidation Act
was incorporated with it. By these joint Acts it was
enacted that, in case any dispute as to the amount of
compensation should arise, the matter might be referred
to arbitration, each side choosing an arbitrator, who in
their turn should choose an umpire. The matter being
once submitted to arbitration, could not be withdrawn un-
less by consent of all parties ; and the party in possession
of the award and the documents submitting the case to
arbitration were compelled to furnish copies, and to allow
inspection and use of the original. The Commissioner s
in this case were applied to to give up the award and
submission, in order that they might be made a rule of
Court as it was expressly provided in the Act, but they
refused to do so, as a copy had been furnished but the
original detained.
Mr. Justice ERLE—The question is whether the
rule is to be to show cause why the original document
should not be delivered up, or why the authenticated
copy should not be made a rule of Court.
Mr. WORDSWORTH said that was the difficulty, but
the rule and alternative could be given. Then a very
important question arose, as to what documents con-
stituted the submission under the 25th section of the
Act. The question must be decided very shortly, as
it would affect the interest of every railway com-
pany, or company for improvement, which had
been formed since the passing of the Lands' Clauses Con-
solidation Act. The Learned Counsel then cited several
authorities as to the mode in which the rule should be
given.
Mr. Justice ERLE granted a rule nisi, to show cause
why the original documents should not be delivered up,
or in default, why the copy should not be made a rule of
Court instead,
THE BISHOP OF EXETER V. LATIMER.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD
IN RE BINGLEY.
Charles Bingley, described as of Charles-street, Spital-
fields, trimming-manufacturer, was brought up in cus-
tody to pass his last examination.
He was supported by Mr. Stammers as counsel, and
opposed by Mr. Hudson as solicitor to the assignees.
It appeared that no accounts had been furnished by
the bankrupt to the assignees, but Mr. Stammers con-
tended that under the Act of Parliament the assignees
were bound when the bankrupt was in prison to send in
an accountant, and afford the bankrupt access td his
books. Mr. Hudson, in reply, argued that the Act was
not compulsory on the assignees, but merely permissive,
and that under all the circumstances of the case they
would riot have been justified in doing so.
The Learned COMMISSIONER acquiesced, especially
as it appeared that the bankrupt had engaged some
person to make out his accounts. His Honour said he
must adjourn the examination until the accounts were
furnished.
Mr. HUDSON said this was a very complicated case,
and he had, on behalf of the assignees, to put it forth as
one of gross fraud. It appeared that he had been for a
long time carrying on business in different places, and
latterly was married to a Mrs. Davis, who carried on the
same business. He was not only married to her, but it
would, no doubt, be proved that he had several other
wives, and that there had been a regular conspiracy.
Just previously to the bankruptcy, the bankrupt had
obtained goods to a large amount from different persons,
some of which had found their way to Mrs. Davis's place
of business, but she, after assigning certain property
and debts to a person named Mitchell, who had
married her daughter, absconded with the property
or proceeds sent in by the bankrupt. The
police had been after her for some time, but without
success and the bankrupt was taken by them in the act of
flight. Mitchell, to whom Mrs. Davis had made the
assignment, had been examined, and that was the only
account of the bankrupt's affairs which had come to the
assignees.
The Learned COMMISSIONER asked whether they had
not succeeded in taking any property?
Mr. Hudson said, when the bankruptcy took place the
messenger went to the place he had been inhabiting with
his supposed wife, but all the property had been got
away; but, after the bankrupt's arrest they took advice,
and seized some of the property assigned by Mrs. Davis,
on the ground that if bankrupt was married to her she
could not assign the goods being sent in by bankrupt,
although the business was carried on in her name.
The bankrupt was then examined, but refused to say
whether he was married to Mrs. Davis or not.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the bankrupt
was not bound to answer, if the answer would criminate
him.
Mr. Hudson put his question in another form, and re-
quired to know whether his wife had told him of the
disposal of the property, either before or after his arrest?
The COMMISSIONER—You must not say " his wife,"
but ask whether it was Mrs. Davis, or the woman he called
his wife.
Mr. Stammers objected that even such a question
might lead to a criminal inference, and be collateral
evidence of the bankrupt was indicted for bigamy, and,
on the authority of the case "Re Kirby," in Montagu's
Report, a bankrupt was not bound tc answer a question
to obtain indirectly that which could no: be got in evi-
dence directly.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it might be
taken so far as the civil effect of the answer went, though
not to be used criminally.
The bankrupt was then examined as to the disposal of
his goods, and he declared, that although he had heard
where some goods were taken to within a fortnight, and
had the address written for him, he could not remember
it. His memory was " that bad," he could not remember,
and he was a bad scholar, and could not read without a
good light and plenty of time. He had given up the
address to his accountant. He could not say who had
given him the address.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he was on that oc-
casion inclined to commit the bankrupt, but perhaps a
private examination would give him the opportunity to
refresh his memory.
The examination was adjourned for a fortnight.
Bankrupt admitted that he was daily supported in
prison from the proceeds of the sales by " his wife."

Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH applied, on the part of the
Bishop of Exeter, for a writ of certiorari to remove an
indictment which had been found against Thomas Llti-
mer, the proprietor and publisher of a newspaper called
the Western Times, in the city of Exeter, into this
Court. The Learned Counsel stated that the libel was
one of a most scandalous nature upon a dignitary of the
Church, and attempts had been made by the defendant
to prejudice any chance of a fair trial in the city of
Exeter. The circumstances to which the libel
had reference arose out of a speech made
by Lord Seymour to the electors of Totnes,
with reference to the dismissal of a gentleman named
Shore from the cure of a chapel. The language of
the libellous article was very strong and personal. The
affidavit on which the motion was made was from Mr.
Gibson, the Bishop's attorney, and stated that a true
bill had beers found against the defendant; and that upon
the indictment the circumstances relating to the pe-
tition of Mr. Shore and the speech of Lord Seymour,
and also some transactions between the Bishop of Exeter
to the Duke of Somerset would be brought into question,
with other matters of very considerable importance, and
fit only for the judgment of a special jury. The affidavit
also stated that the paper of the defendant was circu-
lated amongst the class of persons who formed petty
juries in the city of Exeter, and that several articles bad
appeared in it calculated to prejudice any fair or un-
biassed decision on the indictment.—Rule granted.

but he came back instantly, and beckoned to me; and as
I am going to town, Billington said to me, why do you
not do to me as Harvey has done, leave your pocket-
book on the table for a security for your return, and so
I laid my pocket- book upon the table, and we left Bil-
liagton alone in the room.
The LORD MAYOR—And all your money was in your
pocket-book ?
The prosecutor.—The whole of the seventeen 101.
notes were in it. When Captain Harvey and I got about
3a or 40 yards down the street, I declined going ally
further, but he wished me to go further for a stamped
receipt. I returned, and there was no person in the
room, and my pocket-book was gone. The people at
the bar said the person I left in the room must have
gone out at the back door, and I then gave information
to the police.
The LORD MA.YOR.—Are you positive that the pri-
soner Billington is the man whom you left in the room
when you went away with Harvey, and that you left
him alone? The prosecutor.—l am quite positive.
The LORD MAYOR.--Do you know any thing of either
of the other prisoners? The prosecutor.—l can't say
that either of them is Captain Harvey.
A buy who was employed in Barnard's-inn coffee-
house at the time of the robbery, stated that he saw the
prisoners Thompson and Chalme in the room on the day
the prosecutor complained that he had been robbed, but
that he did not see the prisoner Billington there.
' Mr. Robinson contended that there was not the
slightest ground for detaining either Thompson or
Chalme, and that the evidence of the bar-boy, who did
not see Billington at all in the house, would effectually
tell against the testimony of the prosecutor before a jury.
The LORD MAYOR said the prosecutor had much
better reason for marking Billington than the boy had,
and much better opportunity too, from the time they had
been together, and the nature of the transaction from
which the poor man had suffered so desperately. He
trusted the police would not relax in their exertions to
procure the evidence of every one who could state any-
' thing of importance, A most heinous robbery had been
perpetrated, and he should take care that nothing should
be wanting upon his part as to the strictness of the in-
vestigation. He was convinced that the newspapers
would in such a case render publicity to the circum-
stance, and thus give opportunities to other persons who
had been plundered by the gang, to come forward and do
justice.
A countryman here stepped forward and stated that
he had been robbed by Thompson and Chalme of a
sovereign by means of a deceptive lock.
The prisoners were remanded till Friday next, when
other charges will, it is supposed, be brought forward
against them.
The American Consul applied to the Lord Mayor for
the liberation of an American subject, who was a re-
spectable person, but one of very eccentric character,
inspired with a sort of religious insanity, and at the
same time quite harmless. He had made his appear-
ance in the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange,
where the singularity of his address and gesticulation
drew the observation of the crowd upon him ; in conse-
quence of which the Inspector of Police had caused him
to be taken into custody, to prevent obstructions, and no
doubt to protect the poor man from injury.
Inspector Woodraffe said, the poor man, who no
doubt laboured under religious phrenzy, had been found
walking round the Wellington statue, bare-headed, and
brought to the station-house, from whence he was taken
to the Union in Canon-street, by the officers of which
he was transferred to Marlborough House, Peckham.
From Peckham he was transferred to Doctor Warburton
as a lunatic. The police had merely performed their
duty in removing from the public streets a person labour-
inn under a mental malady. The man had complained
very much of Marlborough House, Peckham, the filth
and abomination of which seemed to make a deep im-
pression upon him.
A respectable female, at whose house the American
boarded, said he had lately arrived from Quebec, and was
exceedingly eccentric. Ile was in the habit of saying
that the Almighty directed him to keep his head
cool and his feet wet m, and he was obedient to the
Divine will. The dirt and filth of Marlborough House,
at Peckham, had certainly had a great effect upon him,
and he also complained of what was given him to eat.
The LORD MAYOR said he had no doubt at all of the
correctness of the poor man's account of Peckham, how-
ever insane he might he, and advised the Consul how to
proceed to effect his liberation at once.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
T. M. Wheeler and John Whithorn were charged, yes-
terday, with assaulting William Rogers, in Dean-street.
The complainant said he was passing the defendant
Wheeler's door, in Dean-street, that morning about one
o'clock, in company with his wife and a friend, when
Wheeler grossly insulted him, and then knocked him
down among some bricks and rubbish.
Poltce-constable C 57, saw a crowd of about 50 per-
sons come out of a public-house about one o'clock, and
the defendant Wheeler, after passing some way along
the street, knocked the complainant down. When he
had Wheeler in custody, the other defendant, Whit-
horn, attempted to rescue him. The constable said
hero was a Chartist Society there, which met every
Sunday evening, the members of which, after their meet-
ing, adjourned to the public-house, and created a great
deal of disturbance in Dean-street every Sunday night
and Monday morning.
The defendant Wheeler said the prosecutor had
charged him with robbing the funds of the society, and
perhaps he was irritated, but he denied striking Iliat as
had been stated.
Mr. Haenweese—What are you? Wheeler—Secre•
tars to a land society for the purchasing of allotments.
The prosecutor denied having charged him with
robbing the society.
After hearing various witnesses, whose evidence did
not seem to throw the least light on the subject,
Mr. HAnDwlcs. said the violence made use of was not
justifiable. lie fined the defendant Wheeler 4/., or one
month in the House of Correction; and Whithorn, for
the assault on the :police, 2/., or fourteen days in the
House of Correction.

At the ontports the arrivals have been moderate-40 Heifers
having been landed at Plymouth from France; while
in the northern ports, such as Hull, &c., about 300
Beasts and 700 Sheep have been received in fair condition.
We had on offer to-day about 300 Beasts, 650 Sheep, and 10
Calves from abroad, in middling condition. With home-fed
Beasts we were but moderately supplied. The few prime
Scots on sale commanded a very ready sale, at prices fully
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, but the mid-
dling and interior breeds, which formed the bulk of the
supply, were very dull, and somewhat lower. - From the
northern districts we received 800 Shorthorns, from the
western and midland counties 900 Herefords, 90 Devons, &c.,
and from other parts of England 500 of various breeds. The
numbers of Sheep were moderately extensive, and of prime
quality. The best old Downs sold at late rates, but all other
breeds were quite 2d. per Blbs. lower. In Calves only a
limited business was doing, at last week's prices. The Pork
trade was dull, at late figures.

Rather extensive supplies of Pork have reached us from
various parts of the country during the past week, but those
of other kinds of meat have been comparatively small. With
meat killed in the metropolis we have been well supplied, but
the quality has proved indifferent. Prime Beef, Mutton, and
Veal are selling steadily at full prices. In all other kinds of
meat only a limited business is doing. About 90 packages
of Beef and Pork have come to hand since our last from
Hambnrgh, and nearly 1,200 of foreigh Beasts, Sheep, and
Calm have found buyers. _ _

At the waterside the arrivals of Potatoes are on the in-
crease, and of improved quality. From Holland about 70,
and from France 250 tons, have arrived in the course of the
week. Selected samples are steady, but other qualities are
very dull.
