(Before Mr. Commissioner SLIEPIIERD.)

IN TILE BANKRUPTCY OF CALLOW AND TEYBRSHAbi.

The bankrupts were stockbrokers in Finch-lane
and Cornhill. This was a meeting for the last
examination, which was adjourned by direction of
the Commissioner, in order that the bankrupt Callow
may be enabled to furnish the assignees with a sepa-
rate cash account. The main items of the joint
balance sheet, which begins January, 1846, and ends
December 9, 1847, are as follow :—Creditors, 424 ;
creditors holding security, 9,9221.; amount received
from Mr. Teversham's private estate, 1561.; capital of
Mr. Teversham, the younger, 1,3504; amount of
commission, 2,7131. ; amount received from Mr.
Smallbone, 925/. ; amount received from Mr. Tever-
sham, being paid by them as security to the Stock

the hands of creditors, 2904 ; losses, 5,5921. ; ex-
penses, 5351.; amount drawn out by Edmund Callow,

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OP THE SALISBURY BANK.

On Saturday last Mr. Abrahall, the registrar of
Mr. Commissioner Evans' court, together with the
principal officers of the same court, sat in the White
Hart Inn, Salisbury, for the purpose of taking the
proofs of debts in this matter. About 200 proofs,
amounting to about 6,0001., were received. The
convenience of which this arrangement is produce
tive to the small creditors is shown by the fact, that
the great majority of the claims averaged under 201.
The next meeting under the fiat is fixed for the 3d
proximo.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 31.

In the case of Joseph Freeman, a rent collector,
who was opposed for a breach of trust in not paying
over rents which he had received to the extent of
110/.

Air. Commissioner PHILLIPS refused to make any
final order.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LAMBETH.
William Rancock, and Mary Elizabeth Hancock,
his daughter, were placed at the bar before Mr.
Elliott, on a charge of stealing a gold watch and a
quantity of plate, the property of Mrs. Burrows, a lady
residing at No 6, Canal-grove, Old Kent-road.
The prisoner admitted that he had been in the
deepest distress, but accounted for his possession of
the money by saying he had disposed of a chest of
drawers for three guineas, and that the money found
upon him was part of the produce of the drawers.
Mr. ELLIOTT remanded the prisoners.
SOU7'HIVARK.

Thomas Barnash, a pugilist, was brought before
Mr. Cottingham, charged with committing a violent
assault on policeman 137 L, and rendering him unfit
for the performance of his duties.
The policeman, who appeared to be very seriously
injured, stated that on Saturday night, while on duty
near the Surrey Theatre, he interfered to prevent a
fight between the prisoner and another man. Tie
moment, however, of his interference, he was struck
by the prisoner and knocked down, and while on the
ground his assailant knelt upon his breast with such
force as to deprive him for some time of the power of
breathing ; in addition to which he was also kicked
in the side, hut he could not undertake to say posi-
tively the prisoner was the person by whom it was
inflicted. The policeman here handed in a medical
certificate, describing that he had received some
serious internal injuries, which incapacitated him
from attending to his duties, and adding that it was
impossible as yet to ascertain the extent of them.
The prisoner, in defence, said that some time ago
he received a wound in the head, from the effects of
which he suffered much, particularly when he drank;
that on the night in question, while drinking at the
bar of a public-house near the Surrey Theatre, he
was insulted by a man, and that they went out to
settle their difference, when the policeman interfered,
and that it was by accident he (prisoner) fell upon
him in the way described, which he should not have
done if he had not been in liquor.
Mr. COTTINGHAM, in strong language, denounced
the conduct of the prisoner, who, he said, had evinced
great brutality on the occasion. The men following
the avocation of pugilists, he must say, generally
displayed much courage, and even if insulted by
those over whom they knew they possessed much
advantage in point of skill and science in the art of
boxing, yet instances were rare in whick they used
them against such persons. The Magistrate added
that, as it was impossible to predict what might be
the consequences of the prisoner's violence towards
the policeman, he should commit him to prison for
one month instead of inflicting a penalty, and that in
the meantime if the policeman died, he could be
brought up again from the gaol to answer for the
more serious charge.
The prisoner's wife, with a baby in her arms, soon
afterwards supplicated for an alteration in the magis-
trate's decision, saying that imprisonment would be
the ruin of him and his family, and that she would
endeavour to raise the money to pay any fine that
might be inflicted.
COTTINGHAM refused to listen to the applica-
tion, and the prisoner was committed.

AN INFERNAL MACHINE AT SHEFFIELD.—The
Sheffield Iris states, that early yesterday morning week
an attempt was made to blew up the premises of Mr.
Marples joiners' tool-maker. The infernal machine used
for the purpose was similar to others used in that town
for like diabolical objects; being formed of an iron tabs
of great thickness, and plugged at each end with lead,
while a kind of touch-hole was left in the middle of the
barrel for the insertion of the patent fuse. The villains
gained access to the premises by scaling a high wall, and
had placed the loaded tube under the warehouse, through
a door which opened into the yard. When the explo-
sion took place no further mischief was done than the
blowing down of the door. Mr. Marples had not been a
member of a trades' union for two years, and bad had no
dispute with any of his men.
CLIRIST CHURCH, Sunnny.—A few days since the
trustees of Mr. Marshall's estates assembled for the
purpose of electing a rector of Christ Church, Surrey,
rendered vacant by the death of the Rev. Mr. Mapleton.
The Rev. T. M‘Gill, 8.A., curate of Clapham, and the
Rev. G. W. Lewis. M.A., minister of Sit. Peter's,
Southwark, were nominated; and the votes -of the
trustees were found to be—in favour of Mr. M'Gill, 1;
and in favour of Mr. Lewis, S. Neither party would
give way; and as it was found impossible under the cir-
cumstances to proceed to thelelection, it was agreed that
the matter should be referred to the Bishop of Win-
chester, and that his decision should be final. A state-
ment of the case was laid before his Lordship, who forth-
with appointed Mr. Lewis to the benefice.
