BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE MILLER.
The bankrupt had carried on business as a grocer, &c.,
Commercial-place, Kentish. town, and came up to pass
his last examination.
Mr. Cooke, Mr. Sturgeon, and Mr. Jervis, solicitors,
opposed on behalf of the assignees and creditors.
It appeared, after a lengthened examination, that the
bankrupt had got rid of the whole of his property to
family creditors, and less than 10/. had been got in for
the general body.
His HONOUR said it was a very suspicious case, but
he did not think he ought to commit the bankrupt, but
he should adjourn the examination sine die, leaving the
bankrupt to come up at his own expense, when he could
produce satisfactory accounts.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Charles Mallet, a pugilist, was placed before Mr.
Bingham, charged with having picked the pocket of
John Donovan, a stone mason, residing in 14,:cclestoa•
street, Pimlico, under the following circumstances:—
The prosecutor stated that on the previous evening he
went into Ben Cannes, the Coach and Horses, St.
Martin's-lane, and after partaking of something to drink
ha fell asleep in the parlour. After remaining for some
time in that state he was awoke by some person in the
room, who told him that the prisoner had picked his
(prosecutor's) pocket. Witness then put his hand into
his trousers pocket and missed about 9s. 6d. in silver,
which he had safe in his pocket previous to falling asleep.
He was rather the worse for liquor, but knew perfectly
well what he was about.
Mr. John Waters, a gentleman residing at No. 1,
Kensington-street, Knightsbridge, said he was in the
parlour at Ben Cannes last night, and observed the pro.
4ecutor lying with his head on the table fast asleep.
The prisoner was sitting close by his side, and appeared
to be fumbling at the prosecutor's pockets. This cir-
cumstance excited his suspicions, and he kept a watch
upon the prisoner. After a short time had elapsed,
witness saw the prisoner put his band into prosecutor's
pocket, and take out something which witness could not
distinguish. Witness then roused the prosecutor up,
and told him he bad been robbed, Mr. Caunt then came
in, and on his hearing the circumstances of the case,
sent for a constable, and gave the prisoner in charge.
The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was fully
committed.

A GENTLEMAN FOUND DROWNED.—This morning
information was forwarded to the various Metropolitan
and City police- stations that a gentleman had been found
in what is called the Birmingham- canal, Old Oak-com-
mon. The deceased appears to have been about 35
years of age. A gold ring encircles the little finger of
the left hand, and the body, which is 5 feet 5 inches in
length, is dressed in a pair of black trowsers and vest,
drab tweed coat, Blucher boots, and black satin stock.,
The body lies at the Fishmongers' Arms, Old Oak-com-
mon, for identification and a coroner's jury.
THIRD COURT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF
JUSTICE.—At the last Court of Common Council the
report on the reference to consider of providing in-,
creased accommodation at the Sessions House for the
administration of justice, and for providing a third
court at an expense of 1,500 L, was agreed to acd or-
dered to be carried into execution. The additional
court is to be formed on the principal story, and will oc-
cupy the portion of the building on the west side of the
New Court, at present used as the Indictment-office,
with entrance for the judge from the judge's lobby; the
remaining accesses being from the present staircase and
lobbies on. the north and south aides of the court. The
Indictment-office is to be formed on the ground-floor in
the space at present appropriated for the culinary de-
partment, which will be entirely removed to the upper
floor contiguous to the dining-room, thereby obviating
the great inconvenience at present arising from the dis-
tance between this department and the dining-room.
By this arrangement, which has been most skilfully
made, upon very contracted groundwork, by Mr. Bun-
ning, the city architect, the offices of Mr. Clark, the
clerk of the arraigns, will be rendered more convenient
than they are at present, and additional light is proposed
to be given to the space on the ground floor for the wit-
nesses in waiting. A separate waiting-room is also to be
formed for female witnesses.
THE EARLY CLOSING MovEmENT.—Last night a
meeting was held at Halliday's Coffee-house, Holborn,
for the purpose of inducing the employers of the dis-
trict to fix a limit to the hours of labour. There was
a scanty attendance on the occasion. Mr. Robinson,
who was called on to preside, said that the association
had encountered great difficulties in its onward course,
and now that their principles were making rapid strides
he implored them not to relax in their endeavours. The
following resolution was proposed by Mr. Ashendon:—.
" This meeting, believing the present system of late
shopping injurious to the moral and intellectual and
physical condition of young men engaged in business, do
hereby pledge themselves to do everything in their
power to effect an early closing of shops in all trades."
It was stated that all the shops in Regent-street now
close at seven in the evening. The resolution was car-
ried unanimously, and a committee for the district was
formed.

Ma. TRENCH BELLEW 1114MANus.--Mr. 119danus
(who is about to take is trial for high treason) is not, as
has been stated in some of the journals, a native of Bel-
fast—he is a native of the county of Fermanagh, near
the town of Tempo, where his ancestors have been
located for the last century. His father, Philip
M'Manus, who died about the year 1830, in Monaghan,
was respectable, and for many years was land-agent
over the property of the late Constantine Maguire of
Fermanagh, and seneschal under that gentleman of the
manor of Inchlouggesh, in said county, the duties of
which office ho discharged with credit to himself and
satisfaction to the public. Some years ago Mr. M•Manus
went to reside in Liverpool, where he commenced the
business of a forwarding agent and general broker, and
was very much esteemed, doing a very extensive businese,
so much so that the profits of his business amounted,
latterly, to 2,000/. per annum. He is about thirty-eight
years of age, and of very prepossessing manners and ap-
pearance.—Liverpool Mail.
The mortal remains of the late Lord Berwick were
consigned to their final resting place in the family vault
at Atcham Church, near Shrewsbury, on Friday last.
The :nutria was private; none but the members of the
family Stodixig,
