CITY SHERIFFS' counr.
(Before Mr. Prenderga,,t, Q.C.)
DEALINGS.-DAY V. EXLEY.

This was an action to recover the sum of 26/. 103. for
goods sold and delivered.
Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, appeared for the
defendant, and admitted the debt, but asked time to pay
—one-half in one month, and the remainder the follow-
ing month.
The plaintiff objected to any further time, as defendant
had already had two months' credit, to which he was not
entitled.

His Honour—We are almost prohibited from ordering
payment by instalments, and by the County Courts Act
it would not be allowed hereafter.

Mr. Buchanan said that did not apply to the City,
and would come into operatiou on the let of October.
His Honour—No ;"it does not affect us directly. What
was the debt for?

Plaintiff—For barley bought in the market, Mark-
lane.

His Honour—Oh, then, we can't allow Mark-lane
dealers to come here and pay by instalments, he must
pay in 14 days.

give a bond. The bankrupt, however, being unable to
procure bail to such a large amount, it was reduced
to 600/.

deposit the whole 500/. if necessary. Is was ultimately
agreed that Mr. Martin should be accepted, and the
question as to the other to stand over till Tuesday.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MANSION•HOUSE.

THE WALPOLE ISLANDERS AGAlN.—Captain Atch erley
waited this morning on the sitting magistrate, Mr. Al-
derman Wire, accompanied by one of the Walpole
Islanders, named Peter, to solicit further assistance for
these unfortunate individuals. The gallant captain said
that the money kindly given to them on a former occa-
sion, by the Lord Mayor, had been appropriated by the
persons who had received it to the liquidation of past
claims, and, consequently, these unfortunate individuals
were in as destitute a condition as before they waited on
his Lordship. They were still residing at 6, Eversholt-
street, Campden-town, but had no buds to lie on. His
principal object on waiting on the Lord Mayor was to
ask him to apply to the Secretary for the Colonies to
send these poor friendless individuals direct to their
home. That's what you want, is it not Peter !
Peter—Yos.

Mr. Alderman Wire said that the Lord Mayor was
oust of town, and he (Mr. Alderman Wire) could not
then interfere. The statement that had been made by
Capt. Atcherley should be brought under his lordship's
attention %Then he returned.

Capt. Atoherley—But whilst the grass grows the
steed starves.

Mr. Alderman Wire—l have no doubt but that these
individuals will be taken care of in the meantime by a
benevolent public.
Capt. Atcherley—Only consider the state of these
individuals. Six men and four women lying on bare
boards in one room.

Mr. Alderman Wire r3peated his former statement
that he could not then interfere, and having informed
Capt. Atcherley that the Lord Mayor would be home on
Monday next, the gallant captain and Peter retired.
