BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE LEASE.
This bankrupt, described as a relievo leather manu-
facturer, and whose certificate had been adjourned for
twelve months, came up for a renewal of his protection,
which had been granted for three months.
After evidence had been given to show that the bank-
rupt, immediately after the issuing of the fiat, had com-
menced and continued to carry on business on his own
account, under the name of an assumed firm,
His HONOUR said it was a very bad case, and arose
from one of the errors of the bankrupt law, but the
protection would not be withdrawn.

SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCHEI.I..)
VINES V. SMITH.

This was an action to recover the sum of 6L for rent
due for premises at Stepney. The action was com-
menced so far back as 1845, but no plea had been put in
and the proceedings were continued. There was no de-
fence to the action, and the reply to the plaintiff's agent
was that his wife would not let him pay.
The jury found for the amount.
GHISLIN V. DEAN.

The plaintiff in this action is proprietor of the Satirist
newspaper ; defendant is a tailor in Oxford-street ; and
the claim was for 61. ss. for insertion of advertisements
in that paper.
The orders were put in, and also a promise to pay the
declaration filed at the Stamp-office was put in, to prove
that plaintiff was sole proprietor ; it was, however,_ ob.
jected that the demand had been made on behalf of the
" proprietors," and the declaration did not prove itself.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was no unusual thing to
write in the plural number, especially in newspaper
affairs. Everybody had heard of the editors' " we,"
and so it might be " we, the proprietors."—(Laughter.)
As to the declaration, if it had not been called for by
defendant himself, he should not have admitted it, for
it was only plaintiff's own statement, in pursuance of the
law, to give any person injured the opportunity of dis-
covering who was the party against whom they could
proceed.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount.
ATTWOOD V. HOLT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff as vicar
of Hammersmith, to recover certain charges on de-
fendant under the Tithe Commutation Act.
There was no defence, but an attorney said he watched
the case for defendant, as other proceedings were pend-
ing in the Court above to set the present aside. The
assessment having been duly proved, a verdict was given
for the plaintiff.
These were the only cases.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. POWNALL, Chairman, and a full bench of
Magistrates.)
This :being licensing day the court was very fully
attended. A great number of licenses were granted, or
renewed without opposition.
Mr. BODKIN applied for a music license for Mr.
Charles Claudius Cook©, of the Pier Hotel, Cheyne-
walk, Cheltea, which, after a short discussion, was
granted.

A music license was, after some discussion, granted to
the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end, in the name of the
secretary, who was informed that the license was per-
sonal, and that in the event of his ceasing to be secre-
tary, it would require to be renewed.
