he was induced by that means to put confidence.
it was unnatural for the, prisoner, if he had keowe tie;
tell to be a forgery, I:nowingly to ,ierid his dau:ritter'with
another forged bill on the 14th, the day after thes first be-
came due, and again to send the :tene bill on the 16th.
His Loubstur said, there had been no evidence of a
forgery by the prisoner, and left it to the jury as a case of
uttering with a guilty knowledge.
The priseeer was convicted.—Sentence deferred.
Jane Gregory, 21, .S,tr,:h Stoats, 17, and thariah Grun-
well, 20, stood jointly indicted of having, on the 14th of
June last, at Leeds, fel niously and violently as,atiltedJeseph
Lund, and stolen feint his person a half-crown, 35., and
two sixpences, his property.
Mr. Ellis and Mr. Hill appeared for the prosecutien ; the
prisoners were undefended by counsel.
Joseph Lund, a dyer, of Bramwell, near Leeds, stated that
on the night of the 13th of lest month he came to Leeds
elong with two others, a man named Duckworth and one
Leopold George Frederick Monks. They went to several
public-helves in the course of the evening, and tieeliv to a
house in Mill Girth-street, where they saw some wonen at
the door. The prosecutor, who is-a married man, went into
the house along with hie eompanions, but finding it to be
one of diereputeble character, he went out again, and re-
mained fir seine time in a vard adjoining. They were !hen
looking for a lodging. A policeman earth! up, and in con-
sequence of what he said, Lund again enterei the house te
see his cempaeions. He found them there, and also two
other men, and the three prisoners at the bar. Lund, and
the two men whit him, were invited to go to bed there. and
had mettle shown them, but he at not go to bed. He did
go up staire; however, and while there the erkona, Grun-

This bankrupt, who is an attorney and bill discounter,
applied for his certificate.
-He was opposed by. Mr. Stephenson. counsel for Mrs.
Ca.se, who had discounted bills for the bankrupt, and sup-
ported by Mr. Cox.
It appeared that hie balance-sheet commenced in 1841, and
ended in the present year, His profits were stated at 8,191!.,
and not one item was vouched. There were creditors without
security to the extent of 7,2454. and those with security to
the extent of 4,826/., and his capital was only 2001. His ex-
penses were not vouched.
The bankrupt was then examined by Mr. STURGEON, and
stated that he was a bill discounter, and had been solicitor
to the British liellanes Distillery Company, which was con-
cocted by Colo!iel Warner, about the year 1843. He
(Warner) resided at 31, Orchard-street, Portman-square, and
his wife was not living with . him. Mrs. Casse was a chief
promoter of the above company, and wrote articles (as we
understood) in the Court Gazette for the purpose of "shoving
the shares." He (the bankrupt) was a loser to some thou-
sands in this company. The company had got his bond for
7,0001. Henry Goldsmith, Sir James Anderson, the well-
known steam-engine inventor, anti a Mr. Mansell, were also.
enga,2,-ed in the company.

Mr. STURGEON-00 jou believe Mansell contribute' 100/.

Mr. STI•KGEori,-Was he not in the habit of sending to

Mr. Su:I:GE .N—Did he not contribute thirty shillings at
a time?—Sometimes. when Mr. Manse:l way sh wrt of money.

Nvo to my belief: 1 believe it was put dAvn uncle( the bred
t l-.sses; but Mr. Lloyd made out my accounts, and I do not
.
andetstand them in the least.

Tl:ie witness was here pressed as to certain polic7es of id-
surattee, and, upon the baiance•sheet being handed up,
His HONOUR observed that he never saw a balance-sheet
worse mate up, and if it wa.s intended for the purpose of con-
fusion, that intention was insweaed.

Mr. STuttottem—Your Honour, the accounts were all guess
work.

Atter a very lengthened discussion,
His HONOUR "taitl—The case resolves itself into one of
reckless trcidin.; and iiiutlicient accounts, and there is no
ahegation that he has it i,applied any of his clients' moneys.
If such had been the case, I should have at _olive refused the
certaticate. Ise haS entered into that speculation of bill diS-
counting which is a most despicable branch of business, but
it. does not appear that his transactions hare been re,y frt,at
as a bill-broker, and there is only one single transa, tion rt
eight gtallot:s of gin in the other speculation of the British
Distillery Company's, the very names engaged in which
would have been cnaugh to frighten any man, if they had
ever applied at this court. One had been an uafortunate
brickmaker. Under all the circumstances of the case, having
regard to the youth of the bankrupt, and the protection of the
re4pectable branch of the profession, the Court must suspend
the 'certificate tin' eighteen months.

Before I came to Red Rice I was living with s•ine young

some works going oa, arel had some conversation as to the

His Hoatotra said—l haNal to give judgment upon the
application made by Henry Emanuel for certificate. N
opposition was made by the assignees or any other person,
and it, was thereupon suggested by Mr. Lawrence for the
bankrupt, that the Court was bound to grant the certificate
as a matter of amuse, and it was intimated that then, was
ditfkreneeofole:•i.i•• amongst the Commissioners tie ;lis
I thought it rig;a to mention the subject to my brother Com-
misi:ioners bet re 1 finally disposed of the case. lam none
antherise:e by my brother Commissioner:4 to state that they
entirety concur in the opinion that it is the duty of the
C,:qr.. cu the question of the allowance of the certificate,
whether opposed- or not, to hive regard to the conformity ,d
thediankrupt to the laws cf bankruptcy, and to his con-
dart as a trader, as well before as after his bankruptcy ; and
that in the abeence of any ohjectiou brought forward by
assigeees or creditors, the conformity arid conduct of tti,e
baukrupt muse be tested by the balance-sheet awl exa-
minations. In cases, therfore, in which the assignees
express themselves satisfied with the bankrupt, and
assent- to the allowance of the certificate, the
Court will net be astute in discovering impropriety
in his conduct ; but wherever fraud or gross iris •
conduct -are apparent, the bankrupt cannot be al-
lowed to have his certificate forthwith. Now in thi, case, the
bankrupt, carried on a very extensive business as goldsmiths
and jewellers, and the father and a brother had both retired
with ample tortures, and the circumstances
.of this case
would have led ,rues to believe that these bankrupts would
have realised au independence in a few years. The miscon •
duct of one of the bankrupts (Henry Emanuel) caused a sad
reverse. He did not confine his attention to his own lucra-
tive business, but unfortunately embarked too deeply in spe-
culation and in accommodation, and as one false step often
suggests a secend more fate ty. under tho delusive hope Of ob.
tathing the desired end, he allowed himself to have recourse
to meatis which meat slice have been to him the subject of
bitter regret, involving in their consequence not only his own
ruin, but that of his partner aid brother, as well as a great
diminution in the amount of assets which might have heen
applicable exclusively to the payment of the bond fide part.
nerehip debts. The bankruptcy was then occ4sioned by
Henry Emanuel accepting bills in the name of the firm to a
very large amount (somewhat exceeding 50,000 i ), fur pur-
poses not connec:ei with the partnership, and this was done
without the knowledge or consent of hie partner. The greater
portion (about 30,0004) of the money raised on these bills
wag tbr the purptises of Henry Emanuel himself; and p ,rt of
it, about 6,400/.. was taken for the use of a speculation in
the' exportation if preserved provisi,,ns, in which Henry
Enianuel was engaged with two other persons of the natm
of Blogg and Lyon Sernuel4, arid the remainder (about
14,0001.) was a balance i t liabilities incurred for the ac,
commodation of this same Lyon Sal-suds. Thus the j •int
estate, by the act of Henry *Emanuel, without his part-
ner's knowledge or cen -ent. is charged with the 50,000/.
Such is the misconduct of Henry Emanuel appearing (Ten
the face of the balance-sheet, and how is it answered? It
is said, on his behalf, that the assignees believe he was the
dupe and tool of others. Whatever palliation of his conouct
such an excuse might affard in a poor, doltish, ignorant
offender, it can have no weight in the case of one of the first
traders in the city of Landon. Looking to the position of
Henry Emanuel m the mercantile world, the Court must of
necessity assame, that when he used the name of the firm
for,purposesloreigu to the partnership, he was acting in direct
contradiction to the clear evidence of his own understanding.
lie must have known and felt that he was committing
an act of gross injustice and fraud to, anis his own
partner, and tho creditors of the partnership. The con-
venienee of commerce may require that in certain eases one
partner in trade should be able to bind another without his
previous knowledge or consent, but the incalculable mischief
Which an abuSe of this power may eff-et, and the facility
with which a partner may create such obligations on a firm,
make it imperative upon the Court, in regarding the conduct
of ja bankrupt, to vitit severely any breach of the confidence
this unavoidildy reposed in partners. Having then duly
considered all ihe circumstances of this case, and hearing in
nerd the previ us good conduct of the bankrupt, and the
course he pur,ued in conjunction with his bra ber, for the
general benefit of the creditors, as soon as he tunnel the irrc-
trieveble ruin which he had brought upon the house, the.
COmt does not feel called upon to refuse the certificate aVo•
wilier. but to do even law and execution right to all," the
case is one which demands a lung suspension. The judg-
ment of the Court, therefore, is, that the allowance of the
certitica,e of the bankrupt, Henry Emanuel, be suspended
fot three years from the day of passing his examination.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CI MC:WT.—York, July 14.
CROWS COURT.—( Before Mr. Justice Cht,SWELL. )
John Holmes, aged 30, was indicted tor having, on the 13th
of 'December last, at Sheffield, forged a bill of exchange for
the sum of 391. 12s. 61, purporting to be a bill drawn by
George Harper and Co.: of Liverpool, upon James Simpson
and Co., of Chester, and endersed by the former party to the
prisoner, with ineent,tee defraud one William Carlile. There
were counts Co uttering the bill with knowledge of the
forgery.
Mr. Overend and Mr. Phillips appeared for theprosecutien,
and Mr. Bliss for the defence.
The prosecutor, William Carlile, is a table knife manufee-
tufer of Sheffield, and the -prisoner, with whom he had pre-
viously had dealings in bu=siness, was at the time of the
offence a buyer and seller of the same kind of gecels. Oil
the 13th of December last the prisoner, being then indebted
in .a balance to the prosecutor, sent for him to the house, and
told him that, having been buying some goods, he (the pri-
soner) was short of cash; but the prisoner then showed a
case, which he said contained the goods, arid told Mr. Carlile
that it he would cash a bill which he (the prisoncr) hafi,
that would enable him to pay for those goods, and at the
same time pay something towards the prosecutor's &
The bill was accordingly given to Carlile, who, looking at
the name Harpur and Co., asked prisoner if that was " one
of; their old houses." The prisoner replied, "No; it was one
of his own finding." He added that Mr. Harpur was a gen-
tleman, and showed Mr.- Carlile a printed card, on the back
of which, in manuscript, there was " George 11 rpnr and
CO., ship-brokers, Fenwick Chambers, Liverpool." 13,-in..; sa-
tisfied with this, the prosecutor took the bill, and procured
cash for it at the Retheeham and Sheffield Bank, weere he
kept an account. He then returned to the prisoner, and paid
hint the whole proceeds, deducting only the Clint of U. 19e.,
which before had been agreed on between them. Tide bill
was at two months, dated the lOtit of December, mad %weld
come due on the 13th February. The prosecub.r I c ,rd
nothing more until the 14th of February last, when the pri-
wine-es daughter called upon him, bringing another bill limn
her father for 4.4. 12s. 6d. This bill the prisoner wished Mr.
Carlisle to procure cash for. It, bore the mete of R. Harri-
son and Co.' Liverpool, as drewers, and that of James Baker
and Co., of Hereford, as acceptors. It was dated the sth-of
February, and made payable in two months. Mr. Gallic
at first would not take it : bat the daughter again came with
it on the IfiLli of February. He then took it, and carried it
to the suite bank, where he learnt that the termer bill had
been returned unpaid, and of that he went and informed the
prisoner, who said he was very sorry for. it, but that. it' Mr.
GAM could get the second bill cashed, the lint might be I dangerous thing to
taken up; that he, the prisoner, was going to Liverpool in a - was then en
few days, and would then make it all right. On being in-
formed that the people at the bank said it wits a forgery, s'
prisoner said that was owing to the difference,.
caused by the difference in 'steel pens when used to. sign with
arid took several pens to show Mr. Carlile how much variety
they would occasion in a signature. Referring to Harrisons,
the drawers of the second. bill, he said they were respectable
persons, and shippers in Liverpool, and he exhibited a news-
paper, saying that their name was in it. Evidence was fur-
ther given, by which it was shown that all the names used
on the hills were,those of fictitious parties. -
Mr. BLIS4 submitted whether it was right to lay the facts
touching the second bill before the jury, they forming the
subject-matter of another indictment now pending against
the prisoner; but.
His Lonnsmr, considered the evidence to be proper, and
coincided in the opinion of Lord Denman, who had already
decided the same question in the same way. •
Mr. Buis then, in his address to the jury, insisted that there -
was not only an absence of proof as to any act of forgery, but
also of any guilt in the fact of uttering. In the first place, it
ate for the ilrosecution,
was not at -all improbable that the prisoner, being a factor,
tressed the jury for the prisoner, and con-
and constantly' buying and selling, might be imposed upon tended that the whole- had been the result of accident_-thaf
