LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Commissioners Goulburn and Holroyd.)

DISPUTED ADJUDICATION.-•THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK,

To-day was appointed for hearing arguments on the
disputed adjudication in this case, of which two notices
had been served, one on the part of the directors, and
the other on the part of Colonel the Hon. John King-
ston Phipps, a shareholder.
Mr. Gifford and Mr. Brown (instructed by Messrs.
Linklater and Hackwood) appeared in support of the
petition for adjudication.
Mr. Bagley, with whom was Mr. Field, appeared on
behalf of the directors disputing, viz., George Gillott,
Richard Hurst, Richard Hartley Kennedy, Frederick
Valiant, Edward and Isaiah Butt.
Mr. Lewis appeared for Colonel Phipps.
Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the Rev. Mr.
Gile, a depositor for 2501.
Mr. Chidley for Mr. Morrice and other creditors.
Mr. Harding (Messrs. Harding and Pullen, the official
managers) was also present.
The Court was densely crowded.
Mr. Giffard objected to Mr. Field being heard on
behalf of a shareholder.
Mr. Field contended a shareholder was entitled to be
heard, as his interest and property was involved in the
winding up of the concern, and referred to the 71st sec-
tion of the charter of the corporation.
His Honour, Holroyd, in conferring with Mr. Com
missioner Goulburn, said that they were of opinion that
for this purpose they did not consider that a shareholder
could be heard—four of the directors who had given
notice to dispute stood in a position of a person who
had been made bankrupt, and was therefore entitled to
dispute the adjudication ; but any other person who felt
aggrieved might present a petition to annul, that not
having been done the shareholder could not be heard.
The Court then proceeded to hear the evidence on
which the adjudication had been made.
The debt of the original petitioning being abandoned,
another was substituted—that of Mr. Robertson, of
Leonidas-terrace, Kent-road, creditor for 1,5001. on a
drawing account, was then tendered.
Their Honours were of opinion' at present that the
debt had been made out, but at a future stage of the
proceedings Mr. Bayley might urge any argument he
thought necessary.

The learned counsel, for the petitioners, said that as
there was a contingency that the debt might be disputed
they would add another.
Mr. Maxwell, advertising agent, of Nicholas-court,
Lombard-street. was then examined on a claim for a
balance of 2,0001.
This debt was also admitted.

The case is likely to occupy the whole of the day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.

SOUTH WARS.

EXTENSIYA ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Ann 4foore, a
very respectable looking young girl, 15 years of age,
was brought before Mr. Burcham, charged with stealing
goods valued at 40/., the property of her mistress, Miss
S. Buer, hosier, &c., Brighton. Mr. Lewis appeared for

the prisoner.
The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner, who is con-
nected with a good family, had been with her a short
time on trial, with the view becoming an apprentice.
But a week ago witness had some suspicion that she had
been robbing her, and she told her of it.. The prisoner
admitted having staleirstockings, silks, gloves, lace, &c.,
and made out a list ofgoods amounting to 401. 4e., which
she had purloined. Witness then brought her up to
London to her parents, whom she acquainted of the cir-
cumstances, and on Saturday she called iu the police and
gave her into custody. A pair of gloves and a piece of
silk were found on her, which witness identified as her
property.

In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis witness said that
when the giri admitted having robbed her to a great
extent, she asked her to make out a list of the articles
and the prices. She did so of her own free will, and
when they came up to London something was said by
her father and mother about compromising the affair for
251. Witness did not oppose that, neither did she offer
to accept it. That was a day or two before she was
given into custody.

Sergeant Turpin, 6 M,esaid he was sent for to take
the prisoner into custody, and be received a pair of
gloves from her mother, which Miss Buer identified.
She was charged with stealing 50/. woi Lh of property,
and there was nothing slid about compromising the
felony in his presence.

Mr. Lewis contended that the prisoner ought never to
have been given, into custody, inasmuch as a confession
was extracted from her under the promise of forgiveness,
and an attempt to compromise the affair for 351. The
father and mother of the girl considered that the sum
was much beyond the defalcations ; and on their re-
fusing to pay that demand, she was given into custody.
Inspector Mackenzie, who took the charge, stated
that he heard Miss Baer say she was willing to compro-
mi-e the matter. That was stated in the station-houee.

Mr. Burcham said that did not do away with the
felony, as property was found on her. The robbery, if
any, had been committed at Brighton, therefore, he
should send her there for further examination. The
prisoner was at once taken by Sergeant Turpin to
Brighton.
