to the extent of 10,0001. His profits were 14,7441., the
expenses being—trade expenses, 6,5734 ; personal,
5,455/. ; and interest and discount, 7,3751. The balance
sheet showed a total of 34,0001.

No opposition was offered, and the bankrupt was de.
dared to hare passed his last examination.

IN RV. JAMES lIUDSON.

The bankrupt was a boarding-house-keeper, at Lark•
hall-lane, Clupham, and came up to pass his last exa,
urination.

His HoNoun said that the bankrupt commenced with
a deficiency, and having incurred debts to the extent of
LOON. in eighteen months, came to this court with no-
thing for his creditors. No books had been kept, nor
a trade assignee chosen, and therefore the case must be
adjourned sine die, with leave to apply again.
Protection was granted.
CERTIFICATES GRANTED.

C. E. Collo, of High-street, Poplar, draper, was
granted without opposition; as also those of C. L Ed-
wards, Great Sutton•street, Clerkenwell, currier,'• and
Henry Shaw, Southampton-row, Russell-square, and
Chelsea, china and glass dealer.
The other cases laid before his Honour were of no
public importance, and the Court rose shortly before
four o'clock.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a

Common Jury.)
ALLCOCX V. BUTT.
Mr. Chambers and Mr. Pearson were for the
and Mr. Sergeant C. Jones for the defendant.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as one of
the sureties to a loan society, call the West Marylebone
Loan Society, to recover from the defendant, as his co-
surety, a sum of 231. 175., being the balance of a sum
which he alleged he had been improperly called upon to
pay, and was entitled to be reimbursed by the defendant.
The circumstances of the case appeared to be of rather
a peculiar character. It seemed that William Butt, the
brother of the defendant, was desirous of borrowing a
sum of 501. from the loan society in question, and the
plaintiff consented to sign a promissory note for the
amount, in conjunction with the present defendant,
Edward Butt, the understanding being, according to the
case for the plaintiff, that he was to be held perfectly
harmless in the transaction, and that the defendant and
his brother were to be the really responsible parties for
the repayment of the money. The ken was paid off
pretty regularly, but at length it appeared that there was
an arrear of 101. due upon it, with 21 for fines and about
this time William Buttdestroyed himself. Very soon after-
wards it appeared that the note was handed to a person
named Israel, but under what circumstances did not
precisely appear, except that it was suggested it was
the intention of the parties to place it in the hands of an
attorney, who was a friend, in order that he might sue
in a superior Court, and obtain the extra costs, and very
shortly afterwards au application was made to Mr. All.
cock by an attorney named Humphries, in Feather-
stone-buildings, who represented that the promissory
note was in the possession of a person named Elizabeth
Shaw, who had given consideration for it, and who had
instructed him to sue for the whole amount. Mr. All-
cock consulted his attorney, Mr. Wellborn, upon this
application, and he made inquiries; but finding that it
would be very difficult to obtain evidence of fraud, he
advised the plaintiff to come to terms with the parties,
and he agreed to pay twenty•one pounds for the debt,
and 71. 17s. 6d. for the costs, it appearing perfectly clear
that at this time no more than 101. was actually due upon
the note. It was alleged on behalf of the plaintiff that
the whole of the 28!. 17s. 6d. was paid by him according
to the arrangement, and upon application being made
to the defendant to repay the money, it was stated
that he at once, in the presence of Mr. Wellborn, ad-
mitted that the plaintiff had only put his name to the
note at his request, to accommodate his brother, and that
he ought not to be a loser, and he promised to pay the
money on the sth of June. and it was stated that he did
pay 5/. on account, thus reducing the claim to the
amount now soeght to be recovered. The case on the
part of the defendant was that Allcock being himself in
needy circumstances, bad several times :been concerned
with William Butt in loan transactions, and that this was
one of a similar character, and that he was perfectly
well aware that only 101. were due upon the note, and
that, consequently, it was not likely he should have paid
281. 17s. It was also .positively sworn that when the
plaintiff's attorney was making application to the de-
fendant, that Allcock admitted only 10/. were due, and it
was arranged that the.defendant should pay Si., and that
Adcock should also pay 51., and so settle the matter, and
it was alleged that the 51. paid by the defendant was in
pursuance of that agreement, and that he also told All-
cock that if he allowed any legal proceedings to take
place, he must pay the costs himself:
The CHM BAROU, in the course of the case, ex-
pressed an opinion that the plaintiff could not recover in
this action the amount that ho had paid over the sum
actually duo upon the note; but that was a question
between him and the loan society, and the defendant
would only be liable upon the sum actually duo upon the
promissory note.
Mr. Cularneas, in replying upon the whole case,
urged that all the circumstances of the case showed the
version of the transaction given on the part of the
plaintiff was a correct one, and that he was entitled to a
verdict.

The CHIEF BARON, in summing up, said it was quite
clear that there was deliberate falsehood either upon
one side or the other, and he was very glad it was
for the jury to decide the question upon which side the
truth lay. It was suite clear that there had been some
very gross fraud practised with regard to the note in ques-
' tion, and that the secretary to the Loan Society had
' enabled that fraud to ho committed by passing the note.
' Tho Learned Judge then went through the evidence,
and said, after explaining why, in law, in his opinion, the
' larger amount could not be recovered, that if they be-
lieved the defendant's witnesses they must return first a
verdict for the plaintiff for 11., because that amount, ac-
cording to their own showing, would still be due; but if
they thought the plaintiff had made out his case they
would then find a verdict for 6/.
The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff, damages 61.
Mr. CHAMBERS then applied to his Lordship for a cer-
tificate that the cause was a proper one to be tried in a
superior Court.
The CHIEF BARON said he did not think ho ought to
grant a certificate. The costs of actions in the supe-
rior Courts were so enormous, and the County Courts
were so beneficial, that he was always inclined to
let the law take its course where less than 20/. was in.
volved, unless some question of right was involved in the
inquiry. The costs of this action would probably bo 1001,
or 120/., and it might just as well have been tried in the
County Court, where the costs would not have been more
than 101. or 15/. ' -
Mr. CHAMBERS reminded the Court that there was a
question of law involved in the inquiry.
The CHIEF BARON said at present he was not inclined
to grant the certificate, but ho would consider the matter
during the assizes.
CROWN COURT.—AUGUST 12.
(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.)
lVillivm Harris, aged 27 years, was indicted for the
wilful murder of his mother, Jane Harris, by beating her
and casting her upon the ground.
Mr. P. Taylor prosecuted; Mr. Robinson was for the
defence.
This case occupied the Court the greater part of the
day, but the principal facts of the charge lay in a very
small compass. It appeared that the deceased was a
dissolute old woman, who got her living by begging, and
her son, the prisoner, also led an idle vagabond life, and
that they frequently quarrelled and exchanged blows
with each other. On the night of the 25th March they
wore at Guildford, and it seemed that they made their
way to a lime-kiln in the neighbourhood, where they in-
tended to pass the night. The next morning the de-
ceased was found in a shed close to the lime-kiln, very
much beaten and braised, and covered with blood, and it
appeared that the injuries she received were of such a
nature as to cause her death very shortly afterwards.
llollington, the inspector of police at Guildford, imme-
diately instituted the necessary inquiries, and ho ascer-
tained that the prisoner and three other men, named
Bignall, Wood, and Stevens, had passed the night in
question in the lime-kiln along with the deceased,
and he caused them all to be taken into custody. At
first they denied having seen any violence made
use of towards the deceased, but ultimately they ex-
pressed a desire to tell the truth, and they then stated
that the prisoner had knocked his mother down by a
violent blow with his fist, and that he then dragged her
several times round the kiln, and afterwards lifted her up
two or three times, and threw her with great force upon
the ground, and that she was insensible from that time
until daybreak, when they carried her out and placed her
in the shed, where she was found in the state above de-
scribed. When the prisoner was first apprehended, and
told the charge that was made against him, he denied
having struck his mother, and declared that she had re-
ceived the injury by falling down a chalk pit, but while !,

he was in custody, he was heard to call Out to the other
men, who were in a separate cell, and ask them not to
say anything about ►hat they saw in the lime-kiln, and
promised them half-a-crown if they did what he desired.
The prisoner subsequently expressed great contrition for
what he had done, and said that now his mother was
dead, he would destroy himself the first opportunity that
presented itself. _

Mr. ROZINSON addressed the jury at considerable
length for the prisoner, and urged that the act had been
committed in a moment of excitement, and that the of-
fence did not amount, at all events, to the crime of
murder.

The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury,
after a very short deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty
of manslaughter.—Sentence was deferred.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Devizes, August 12.
The commission for the assizes in this place was
opened this day by Mr. Justice Coleridge, who addressed
the jury at some length.
The calendar is more than usually heavy. Among
the cases to be tried is that of the policeman of the Great
Western Rail Way Company, who was on duty at the
time of the late accident at Shrivenham. The policeman
is indicted on the charge of manslaughter, it being al-
leged that to his negligence was to be ascribed the acci-
dent which terminated in the death of a number of indi-
viduals. Two of the other servants of the company were,
it will be remembered, tried on a similar charge at
Abingdon, but acquitted. They are also to be tried
again. The trials have been fixed to take place in this
term, as one of the sufferers from the accident died in
Wilts, while the others died in Berkshire. Another
case is that of a medical practitioner in a village in
Wilts, who is charged with manslaughter in consequence
of having, is is alleged, administered medicines impro-
perly to a woman, and which medicines, it is said, caused
her death. There is a third charge of manslaughter
against three young men, of the respective ages of 18,
19, and 20, in connexion with the death of a man some-
what advanced in years. Another case which excites
interest in the district, is that of a wan charged with
stealing 128 sheep. None of the important cases have
come on to-day, the Court preferring to take the least
important cases set down for trial first.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloueester, Aug. 12.
Henry Desbury, s foreigner, and described as a pro.
fessor of languages, was indicted for 'violently and felo•
niously assaulting his wife, Maria Margaret Desbury, at
Cheltenham.

In another count he was charged with intent to murder
and do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pigott and Mr.
Skinner prosecuted. The prisoner undertook Ms own
defence The case crested more than ordinary interest,
probably owing to the many interesting facts connected
with prisoner's life. He said that he was originally a
lieutenant in the Dutch Royal Navy, but being in Paris
on leave in 1830, he took a part in the attack on the
Tuilleries, had his left arm shot off, and received various
other injuries. He left the Dutch service in conse-
quence, and soon after•had equal rank conferred upon
him by Louis Philippe, besides the cross of the Legion of
Honour. The facts adduced in support of the prosecu-
tion were briefly these:—
In the month of last Jtine he left London for
Cheltenham, and in the latter place established him-
self as a teacher of languages. His wife, to whom
he was married in -January, was left in the metro-
polis, and she believing that he was cohabiting with
another woman, proceeded to Cheltenham. She went
to a house in St.- Phillip's-terrace, and demanded
to see her husband (Desbury) of the woman who opened
the door. The•wotaan refused, but at length gave way,
and the wife rushed up stairs. When she had got within
three steps of the top, the prisoner ran out of a bed-
room and struck her_ on the head with great violence
with an earibenware vessel. She fell to the ground in-
sensible, blond flowing from the wounds. A medical
gentleman described the fearful character of her injuries,
and it was only after the lapse of several weeks, that she
was deemed out of danger. On his way to the station-
house, the prisoner said she was not his wife, but on the
marriage certificate`-being exhibited, he admitted such
was the fact. The prisoner on being asked fur his de.-
fence, proceeded to address the Court in rather, an ener-
getic style. He said, in broken English, " I have been
told that it is my privilege, as a foreigner, to b• tried by
a jury composed of half Anglois and half foreigners.
But, gentlemen, were the choice offered to me, I would
contemn—l would despise it, and would choose a jury
composed entirely of true Britons." He then alluded to
the jealousy of his wife. He had no evil intention. He
loved her dearly, and would rather 'die, than endanger
her life. --

The jury found him guilty of an assault, with intent
to do grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Baron PLATT then sentenced him to twelve
months' imprisonment.

• POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Thomas Smith was charged with having represented
himself to be the -keeper of a lunatic asylum, under
rather curious circumstances.

A Mr. Booth stated, that as he was walking along
the street he saw a person, who bad a situation in the
Custom-house, at the door of a public-house, and stopped
to ask him how be did. They had scarcely inter-
changed civilities, when the defendant started forward,
and seizing the Custom-house officer, said to the wit-
ness, "I' am his keeper," Knowing that the Custom-
house officer was not mad, and believing him not to be
a thief, Mr. Booth -asked why he was in custody ?
" Because," replied the defendant, "he is a lunatic ;
and I, as the keeper of a lunatic asylum, have him under
my protection, and I shall and will take care of him."
It happened that Mr. Booth knew very well that the
defendant, who looked more like a coalheaver than
one of the class to which he pretended to belong,
was not a mad-house keeper, and also that the day
on which., he came in collision with that individual
was pay-day at the Custom-house, when certain
moneys, which ought to be applied to the support of
a family, were likely to be in danger. Under these cir-
cumstances, and suspecting that the defendant was en-
deavouring to make a victim, it was considered necessary
to ask for proof of -his alleged occupation, and no satis-
factory answer having been given, the interference of the
police was required, and the matter submitted to the
Lord Mayor.
_ _

The defendant—My reply is, my Lord, that I am the
keeper of this gentleman.
The LORD MAYOR—Upon what authority?
The defendant—Upon his own. He engaged me re-
gularly to take care of him, and I think it was necessary,
to protect him from some people I could name.
The complainant—He said he was the keeper of a lu-
natic asylum, and in that-character he had the care of
my acquaintance. I wish him to produce his proof that
he is in that capacity.
The defendant—My patient is present, and he can tell
you fast enough that he engaged me to look after him.
Here the patient walked up to the witness-box, and
said, with a melancholy countenance, "It is true, I did
engage him, and I shall pay him for the job."
Defendant—l am an engineer, and I was going off to my
work when he stopped me, and told me he'd pay me to
look well after him. I am often employed by men to
watch them, and prevent them from doing what they
like; and I can tell your Lordship that a man as em•
ploys himself that way has his work to do.—(Laughter.)
The patient—You're right, Bill; and I say, old fellow,
do you take proper care of me, and you shan't want for
nothing.
The LORD MAYOR—I shall take care of you until you
are able to take care of yourself; and I'll take care of
your keeper, too, until I hear a little more about his
qualifications.
The patient and his keeper were then deposited in dif-
ferent cells in the asylum under the care of the gaoler
for two or three hours, when a favourable account hav-
ing arrived of the character of each, they were dis-
charged.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
John Heley, butler in the service of Count d'Avigdor,
diplomatic agent to the King of Sardinia, No. 11, Here-
ford-street, was charged with using insulting language
to his master. He was also charged on suspicion of
being concerned in a recent robbery of plate and
jewellery, valued at between 2,0001. and 3,0001., the pro-
perty of the Count.
From the evidence, which was principally conducted
in French, it appeared that on the lath July the Count
d'Avigdor deposited in an iron box a quantity of plate
and jewellery, worth upwards of 2,000/. At half-past
four the same afternoon the Count had oocasion to go
to the box in question, when he discovered that it had
been broken open and the plate and jewellery stolen.
The prisoner was immediately suspected, and a watch
was placed on his movements. Smith, a detective con-
stable, was employed to investigate the case, but he had
been able to find nothing suspicious against the pri-
soner until Friday last.
Charles Grellier, linguist, No. 21, Broad-street,
Golden-square, was employed by the Count to trace out
the thief. From information he received, he went to a
tavern in Oxford-street, and found the prisoner standing
at the bar with several convicted thieves. Witness
watched them, and heard prisoner 'call for a pot of ale.
Witness also heard the prisoner say to his com-
panions, " It's all right, I've just given the police the
slip, and I'll now have a drink out of theproduce of the
robbery." A woman came up to the prisoner and said
something to him. He told her to " cut," and as soon
as he got clear he would follow. The woman left the
house, and the prisoner went after her shortly after-
wards. Witness followed, but the prisoner finding he
watched, ran down a court and witness lost sight of him.
Witness afterwards found the prisoner at his master's
house in custody. The Count d'Avigdor told him that,
on the previous night, about seven o'clock, he required
the attendance of the prisoner! but the prisoner could
nowhere be found. On going into his bedroom the pri-
soner was found lying on the bed in a complete state of
intoxication. Witness woke him up, when the prisoner ap-
plied several insulting epithets to
.him, and made use of
equivocal
expressions, that he immediately suspected
the prisoner had been concerned in robbing him of the
plate and jewellery, and lie immediately gave the prisoner
into custody.
The prisoner strongly denied the charge of robbery.
Since the robbery had happened he had led a very mi-
serable life from the knowledge that he was watched by L
the police.
Mr. IlAnnwica said the evidence in support of the
charge of robbery was not sufficiently strung to warrant
him in detaining the prisoner in custody. no should,
therefore, order him to be discharged. He should in-
dict a fine of ss. The money was paid.

POOR-LAW DISTRICT SClloOL.—Yesterday was
issued, as amended by the Committee, the Bill to amend
the law for the formation of districts for the education
of infant poor. 13y the Bill, as it now stands, the limi-
tation in the area of the school district, and of the ex-
pense of the building in certain cases, as well as to the
amount of the expense, to one•fifth of the average ex-
penditure, are removed. .

NATIONAL -LAND COMPANY.
. Last night (Sunday) at seven o'clock, a special Meg-
ing of the shareholders of this company was held at the
South London Chartist Hall, Webber-street, -Blaelc-
friars -road, for the purpose of taking into consideratiop
the proposition or 111;. Feargus O'Connor, re:-
ference to the recommendation of the: Select. Committee
of the House of Commons, appointed to'invesligare the
affairs and the legality. of 'the National Land Ceinfany.
The chair was takein by Mr. Roberts,'who having,ita.43l
minutely the objects of the meeting, it was atatid
that the National Land Company had been in existenels
three years and three months, and it was show4t by
calculations, that the amount to" be paid. upon,. tlys
number of shares taken was 273,000/, while not mote ,
than 90,0001. had been paid. The committee had dist-
approved of their plan upon the ground of illegality.
Mr. Feargus: O'Connor's. proposition
.Was, to
.._bring
the land plan within the protection et the law, and
to secure a safer and more speedy working ; firstly, by
substituting location .by bonus instead of by .ballo4
and that the occupant so located is to purchase
the land and house, hut that he is to pay, according to
his will, a certain amount for being located withont
ballot. Secondly; the raising of the price of Shares from Li. 12s. 4d., to 5/.; and from 31. 18s. to 71. Ios.; and
from 51 4s. to 10/. Thirdly, the requiring of payment
of the aid money in half-yearly instalments for threi
years' occupation.. Fourthly, substituting an aid land
for the expense, one at the rate of 2d. per week, for two
acre allotments, and so, in proportion, he.
Some discussion arose upon the propositions, in which
Messrs. Snell, Jonas, and Brown took part, but no spe•
cific decision was come to. It was contended .by Air.
Snell, that by saving the working one might in time
have the same chance of raining the necessary mini for
the bonus, as those who were already prepared with the
capital—(Hear, hear)—although, it was the prevailing
opinion that the poor labourer would be precluded these
advantages. .
The accounts of the company during the last three
months were audited and stated to be correct. ,
The CHAIRMAN then read a letter, dated the 31st altsp
from an allottee at Snigs-end, Gloucestershire, 'speaking
satisfactorily of hii speculation.
A discussion then arose as to the propriety of con.
tinning or dissolving the company, and at length it Was
agreed 'to adjourn the meeting for further consideratiOn
of the subject. Adjourne&aceordingly.

BRAZILIAN FRIGATE ALFONZO.
This fine war-ship, whisk some months ago was
launched from the building-yard of Mr. Thomas Royal's,
was (as stated at the time) constructed. for the-Emperor
of the Brazils, and is intended for his Majesty's awn
use, to navigate the coasts, creeks, and rivers .of that
country, as well as for the purpose of defence is simeof
need. She is built of the choicest timber, and is cer-
tainly one of the strongest vessels ever turned out of this
or any other port. She is about 900 tons burden, and
though calculated to carry heavy metal and munition of
war upon a light draught of water, and is therefore full
below, she has a fine appearance as she now lies in the
Coburg-dock. She was 'constructed under the superin-
tendence of Admiral Grenfell, of the Brazilian service,
who will, we presume, take the command.
The vessel has Rush decks of great strength, and on
the upper or gun-deek carries two long 64 pounders, on
carriages working on eirCles---one forward and the other
aft; also, four 62-pounders in the waist, working
through side ports. These are . ponderous yet elegant
pieces of artillery. • There are _also a number of small
arms of various kindii. There is a large armoury and
gun-room between dicks;• and the- ship is fitted up in
every way as an' efficie,nt vessel of war,
On Saturday, rihrotigh the kindness of Mr, Bawden,
who had superidtendo the etectioh of the. engines, we
were favoured witfi'a View' of theie fine -pieces of me-
chanism. 'T.hejiivere built by-Messrs: Benjamin Hicks
and Son, of Bolton; and are, together; of 350-horse
power, but will work-More with, perfect safety. They
are on a new principhi;_and with direct action. All the
beams and all the frame-work are of wrought iron, and
the appearance of the whole (including the brass, kc.)
is like a huge and beautiful specimen of the "'finest
polished clock-work. Cast iron would be double the
weight, and not so - secure. The same builders con-
structed the engines of the Fury ; but they have here
introduced many improvements. A variety of brass•
work is introduced, includfng motion-wheels to speed or
to reverse the engine with great ease and alacrity. The
diameter-of eaeh cylinder is sixty-eight inches, and the
stroke of piston five feet. The immense cranks
are also of wrought 'iron, and weigh each lg 'cwt.
They were bored, turned, and planed. A great
deal of the usual cast-iron work is substituted by copper
and brass, and the whole is exceedingly-compact, highly
finished, and beautifully bright. The condensing appa-
ratus is. novel in principle. The air-pumps and the mode
of admitting the injection water are also quite new. The
same may be said of-the gearing., especially the eccen-
trics, which are curious and beautiful. Compared with
another vessel- of 350-horse power, an the usual principle
(where cast iron is employed), the saving will be at least
one-third in weight; and' the security will be one-half
more. This, with general compactness, will more than
compensate for the additional cost, which is considerable.
The boilers are on the flue principle, with fires at both
ends. , In, the lower after engine-room there is ts
"donkey," of one-horse power, for pimping, Arc. 'There
is-also. in another part a tank for the distilled water
from the tubes or steam pipes.
- On the whole these are the finest and moat compact
engines of the Fie.) we have yet seem—Liverpool Standard.

quantity of Holloway's Pills, certifies from his oval
knowledge of a most extraordinary cure of Dropsy that
has been effected on a person residing in that island
by their use. The patient was so dreadfully afflicted
that though he obtained the best medical advice of the
place, yet he derived no benefit—nothing seemed to
reach the seat of his complaint—until he took these
celebrated Pills, which so effectually eradicated it from
his system, that he is now as well as ever he was in hie
life. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's'
establishment, 244, Strand, London.
