IN RE TAINT. •
raTING 501. TO MM.—This insolvent, who had carried on
-b 4,1111011 as a publican at We inclaor an Rom ilex-crane, Z4l-

well, came up for his doll order, and was opposed on behalf of the
assignee on the ground a concealment, and fraudulently makjng
away with his property.
Mr. BUCHANAN appeared for itic insolvent, and contended that the
assignee, could not be.heard, as he wao U.Qt a creditor ; his name was
certainly in the list, but it was only for a i7:79111ty. The Act 7 and
Vic., declared that no person but a creditor, or an attorney duly
authorised, should oppose the final ordor.
'rho _Attorney for the assignee urged that the latter stood as th
representativit of all the creditors, and that he had a right to appet..
on their behalf.
The Learned COMMISSIONER was at drat inclined to believe that the
assignee could be heard, but on reference to the Act he found that
the assignee must be chosen by the majority of the
creditors in number and value. The assignee, however, happened
to be the highest creditor in the schedule, and had chosen
himself and accepted the trust. Not being actually a creditor, he
had no locus standisin the Court.
The Attorney submitted that the insolvent could be examined
touching the affairs connected with the estate.
The Commissiorain suggested that the order should be granted, for,
under the 12th section (not repealed) of a previous Act the order
could be rescinded on Otudulent concealment being shown.
The Attorney begged art adjournment. •
Mr. BUCHANAN said that If the assignee chose to pay his liability
lie could be heard. '

The COMMISSIONER asked what ne liability was ?
The Attorney said it was on a bill for 501. to a loan society, and
gave his word that it should be paid.
Mr. BUCHANAN, however, said he would rather net be bound by
his unguarded offer, as the assignee would be a cirlitor subsequently
to the petition, and, therefore, the insolvent would not be absolved.
The COMMISSIONER considered that there was good ground for 04
adjournment, if the assignee chose to pay 501. for it.
The adjournment took place accordingly.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and Mr. Justice Mat-LE.)
THE CRIPPLEGATE MURDER.
John Feacy, a type founder, aged 28, was charged with the wilful
murder of Thomas Martin.
Mr. Bodkin attended for the prosecution, and M. Robinson was
engaged for the defence.
From the evidence, which has been detailed at length in our
police reports, and we need not therefore recapitulate, it 14)4
peared that the prisoner had been cohabiting with a woman
named Emberson, but on account of a series -of quarrels be-
tween thtm'they at length separated, and the woman applied to the
deceased, Thomas Martin, with whom she had been formerly ac-
quainted, to assist her in removing that portion of the fbrniture which
she claimed as her property, from the residence of the pri-
soner in Cradle-court, Redcross-street, Cripplegato Within.
In consequence .of the woman's application, the de:.
ceased went to the house in question, on the 17th of nbruary,
and commenced removing the furniture, when Feacy almost without
a word being said, snatched up a knife from a table and stabbed hint
in the side. The deceased called out "I am stabbed," when the
woman ran for a surgeon, who came immediately and dressed the
wound. The Magistrate, with the Clerk of the Police-court,
attended at Cradle-court next day for the purpose of
taking the deposition of the wounded man. The ieceased,
who appeared perfectly conscious that there was no possibility of .his
surviving the injury, stated that after the prisoaer had stabbed him
with -the knife in the lbit Ode, lio• pulled it out, and attempted to
eke hinaezeratAimed-itlerwards, until it was wrenched out of
his band. The deceased n-as removed .to the hospital on the 18tli,
where he lingered till the 21st instant, when he died. The surgeon
proved that the cause of death Was the wound inflicted by the prt-
soner.
Mr. ROBINSON addressed the jury for the prisoner. He contended
that the witnesses were not entitled to unlimited credit, inasmuch as
in several instances they had contradicted each other. It seemed
clear that there had been some struggle between the prisoner and
the deceased, and it was a point for the jury to consider whether,
as no previous acquaintance existed between the parties— as there-
fore the crime could not be a premeditated one—the whole case did
not resolve itself into the lesser crime of manslaughter.
•
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up. and the jury, without hesita-
tion, returned a verdict—Guilty of manslaughter.
The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the jury had
taken a lenient view of his case, and; -thereforei.only convicted him
of the crime Of manslaughter. The Court felt it necessary, in order
to put estop to the use of murderous instruments on every trivial
occasion, to mark its sense of the crime by the heaviest punishment
in Its power. .The sentence wgs, that lie be transported beyond the
ACAS for the term of his natural life.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET. •
Marla Bishvp, a yoimg man, of fashionable appearance, was
charged with assaulting •and obstructing police-constable No. 161
of the C division in the execution of his duty.
The constable stated that between two and three yesterday morn-
ing as he was on duty in St. Martin's-lane, the defendant, who was very
much intoxicated, came up, and began pulling and pushing him
about. lie advised him to • pass on quietly, and walked away on his
beat. The defendant, however, followed, and again catching hold of
him, threw him down with great violence pn the footway pavement.
He also made use of very bad language. At the station-house the
defendant said he was a captain in the navy.
The defendant said he had taken too much wine, but he could not •
believe himself capable of behaving in the manner the constable had
described. lie was, however, extremely sorry if he had in any way
misconducted himself.
Mr. MALvu—You will have to pay a line of Si., or two months'
imprisonment.
The defendant immediately handed ;over a Si. Bank of England
note to the usher of the Court, and hurried out of the office.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, Feb. 28.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
Levi Warman was charged upon the coroner's inquisition
with the wilful murder of his wife, Elizabeth Warman.

Mr. T. Chambers conducted. the prosecution.
The evidence against the prisoner was entirely of a circum-
stantial character. It appeared that he was a labourer, and
resided at Standen, in this county. The deceased was re
presented to be a very well conducted industrious woman,
but the prisoner had some bad connexions, and frequently
quarrelled with and ill-used his wife. On the evening of the
16th of August the deceased had been to market, and re-
turned with some little articles she had purchased about
seven o'clock, and the prisoner questioned her as to what had
become of some apples off the trees in the garden. The de-
ceased replied that she knew nothing about them, upon
which the prisoner abused her, struck her on the head,
and drove her out of the house. She went to a neighbour's
cottage for protection, and the prisoner went there and told
her to come out, at the same time making use of various
threats towards her ; and among other observations, lie said,
if she did not come out he would "weed her is the neck hole,
and she should remember the day and the hour." The neigh-
bour seeing the temper of the prisoner, advised the deceased
not to go indoors until he was gone to bed, and she remained
about the house, and was last seen alive crying in the garden
of the cottage. Shortly after this the prisoner sent hie
daughter, who was the only person in the house at the time,
to a beer-shop at some distance to fetch him a pipe, and im-
mediately after she was gone, the prisoner was heard to come
down stairs and go into the garden, and he then again re-
to When the daughter emit back, she

was given, and the piisoner Went deciii WORWlWareikw4.;
seeing the body he exclaimed, " Ali! she is gone, and God
bless her." Upon the body being es amined by Mr. Pack-
man, a surgeon at Puckeridge, lie could not discover any
external marks of violence, but upon opening the head lie
discovered a violent bruise under the skin upon the scalp,
which had caused an extensive extravasation of blood,
which, pressing upon the brain, had occasioned the death
of the deceased, awl he said 1:e had no doubt the injury
was occasioned by a heavy blow with tome blunt instru-
ment, such as a stick or a piece of wood. A heavy stick
that was found in the cottage of the prisoner was produced
by the constable, and it was likewise stated that there was a
large piece of wood in the prisoner's garden that was used to
keep the gate shut, and which was moved from its place in
the evening, and it was supposed that the fatal injury had
been inflicted by means of one or other of those weapons.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said, "I
never hurt her; she must have hit her head against the door."
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter, and
he was sentenced to be transported for twenty years.
Charles Hymmersione, 24, a well-known Loredon thief, was
indicted for a robbery with violence, upon Joshua Lettey, on
the Queen's highway, and taking from him fourteen sove-
reigns, and Lee Buckland Wade, 24, was indicted for felo-
niously inciting and counselling the other prisoner to commit
the offence.
Mr. Espinasse and Mr. Lydekker prosecuted.
The circumstances of the case were these :—The prosecutor
was a farmer, and on the evening of the 31st December be
was returning home from market in his cart, when lie was
attacked by five men, some of whom jumped into the chaise,
and held him while the others rifled his pockets, and robbed
him of the amount mentioned. The prisoner Hummerstone
pleaded guilty. The only evidence against the other pri-
soner was au extraordinary conversation that took place
between him and Hummerstone, while they were locked up
in separate cells, but within hearing of each other. The con-
versation referred to was proved by Barnes, an inspector of
tLe Herts constabulary, and was Ito the following effect
Humo.stone began the conversation by calling out for
" Bucky," and asking where they " pinched" (took) him, and
he replied, "At Cambridge." Hummerstone then said he
was quite sure they would pinch him, for they were all seen
on the road together. " Bucky" then asked Hum-
merstone what he meant to "patter" (his defence),
and he replied that he shohld say that he went to a public-
house where the " sploder" (witness) was, and had two pots
of beer, and that he overtook the other men by accident on
the road. The prisoner Hummerstone then told the other
prisoner that while he was in the cage he heard a respectable
man say " that the bloke' (prosecutor) could not and would
not rap to any of them, and that he had better have the
fourteen quid than have to pay 50/. or 60/., which it would
cost to get them lagged." He added, "If Cheeky is taken,
it will be the worse for me." Bucky replied, " non-
sense, keep to me story ; if I had not done so I should have
been ochared' (transported) long ago." Hurnmerstene then
said, "If I get my liberty again, you will not catch me in a
' chuck' (highway robbery) with any of the home ones,'
(coantry thieves) again." Bucky then said, " I ain't
afraid of my Poll's cracking, for she does not know
anything, only what you told her on the road,
and I told her not to know any of yon." Hum-
merstone replied to this, " I should be glad
to take seven ' shekel' (years) for this, and glad of the
chance." Bucky said, " You begin to duck, but you will be
square enough. I don't think any of you will be stuck to.
He then asked whether they clid'ut have a split? Hummer-
stone said, " Yes, Blood and Cheeky collared the prad
(horse), and I jumped up behind the chaise, and got hold of
the bloke's' collar, but the drag shook about so, that I
lost my hold." Bucky then asked what time they got
home, and Hummerstone replied, " About twelve o'clock,
and Blood and Nutty went away with the rowdy,' and I was
a fool for not sticking to the swag" (booty).
Mr. Baron ALDERSON, there being no other material evi-
dence, said there was no doubt that the prisoner Wade was
perfectly well aware of all the circumstances of the robbery,
but the evidence was not sufficient to make out the specific
charge in the indictment.
Wade was consequently acquitted, and the other prisoner
was sentenced to be transported for life.
