BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SELEruzun.)
IN RE ROBINSON.

This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a
brushmaker, came up to pass his last examination, but he
had not filed any accounts.
Mr. said BAGLEY
• id he did not now appear in regular
course, but having done so at an earlier stage of the
proceedings, he now aid so from motives of charity to
the bankrupt, whose case was peculiarly hard. The
bankrupt had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act at
Norwich, and obtained his discharge, and in a day or
two afterwards this fiat was sued out. Ile
thus had no books which had been delivered
up to the official assignee under the insolvency.
Mr. Commissioner GouLnuitti had made an of der for
him to receive Si. in order to assist him in making up
the accounts, but not a farthing had been paid to him,
and it was utterly impossible for him to make up the
aceounts.
faMr. GREEN said that he had not 51. in hand, and had
to pay the Court fees.
Ills lloNoun. said that the examination must be ad-
journed sine die.
Mr. BAGLEY said that was extremely hard on the
bankrupt, who had already suffered imprisonment, and
unless he had the means afforded him, he would not be
able to make up the accounts, and would be liable to be
again imprisoned, and would thus be prevented from
ever obtaining his certificate.
His HONOUR did not see why the opposition had not
been made before the Insolvent Court.
The SOLICITOR to the assignees said that the bankrupt
had applied to a judge in the County Court who now in
the country had power in cases of insolvency, but the
creditors chiefly residing in London, were dissatisfied.
Mr. BAGLEY said there could be no doubt as to the
law of the case, and that the fiat could be sued out, but
when everything had been taken from the bankrupt, he
ought not to be called upon to do impossibilities.
It was ultimately agreed that an adjournment should
take place for six weeks, with protection.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Antonia Pinto Suares, a foreigner, aged 20, described
as a sailor, was convicted of stealing a watch, value 5/.,
from the dwelling-house of Thomas Scott ; also of
stealing a watch of the same value from the house of
William Farriday.
The prisoner, who had been previously convicted, was
sentenced to seven years' transportation.
The RECORDER told him, through an interpreter, a
policeman, who spoke the Portuguese language with the
utmost fluency, that he should accompany the sentence
with a recommendation to the Secretary of State, to the
effect that if he would leave the country ho should only
be imprisoned one year, in order that the country might
get rid of foreigners of his class.
The sessions will terminate in the course of the day.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)
William White was indicted for embezzling the several
sums of Si. 2s. 3d., 101., and 21., the moneys of his master,
Mr. Amedee l)avenes, a provision dealer in Turnmill-
street, Clerkenwell.
Mr. PARRY was retained for the prosecution, and Mr.
BALLANTYNE appeared for the prisoner.
The prisoner was the collecting clerk of the prosecutor,
and on the 31st of May, July 24, and October 7 of last
year, he received three several sums from Mr. Woodley,
a poulterer in Holland-street, Southwark, which he paid
in to his master's clerk short by the several sums of
21. 3s. 7d., 101., and 21. There were other indictments
against the prisoner, and the whole amount ascertained
to be lost by the prosecutor up to the present time is
about 1701.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended
him to mercy on account of his having had a good cha-
racter, which the Commissioner considered an
him to
sevengrava-
tion of his offence, and therefore sentenced h
years' transportation.

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Mr. Phelps, the
eminent tragedian (says the Sunday Times) was in the
train,
accompanied by Mrs. Phelps, and received

injury.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THI—S DAY.)

from a builder named Nye, at Guildford, on the 18th
ultimo, and on the 20th they were stolen from his yard.
Information was given to the police, and witnesses
proved that the prisoner was seen on the river in a punt,
leaving the prosecutor's yard with some deals. They
were afterwards discovered in the stables of the Railway
Arms, Guildford, where they had been deposited by the
prisoner, who had been employed there as a carpenter.

ment in the House of Correction.

CLERKENIVELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Henry Richardson, potman, in the service of Mr.
William Hill, of the Crown public house, Lower Isling-
ton-terrace, was charged with assaulting his master.
Mr. Hill stated that yesterday the defendant came home
half mad. Complainant used all means to induce the
defendant either to go to bed or to set about his usual
work. He drew a pot of beer for the defendant to take
out, and, the latter refusing to do so, and using some
very offensive language, the prosecutor was so incensed
that be threw the contents of the pot over him. The
other then took up another pot and threw the contents
over the prosecutor. " That," said the witness, " would
be all right—(Laughter)---but he threw the pot after-
wards at my head, and barely missed me." The de-
fendant next threw a water-jug, holding about a gallon,
at his head, but that also "missed fire."—(Laughter.)
The defendant at length became so furious that, with
the assistance of a neighbour, who was present, he was
put out of the house. On getting loose into the street
he knocked the complainant down, and the head of the
latter was severely wounded.
The complainant's evidence was confirmed by other
witnesses, and the magistrate fined defendant 205., which
were paid.
