COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 28,

(Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS.)
HENRY CANCER ENSELL'S BANKRUPTCY.-RECOVERY

OF SECRETED PROPERTY.

A meeting of the creditors of the bankrupt in
this case was held to-day, for the proof of debts and
the further examination of the bankrupt, who was a
glass-dealer at Winchester, and against whom a fiat
issued in September last. It was ascertained as
soon as the fiat was issued that a considerable quan-
tity of valuable property had been removed ; but
by fortunate circumstance and the active exertions
of Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, nine cases
of valuable property belonging to the bankrupt have
been discovered, and will be made available for the
purposes of a dividend. The bankrupt has under-
gone many private examinations, and before the
property was found, denied on oath that he knew
anything of it.
The COH3fISSIONER asked Mr. Whitmore if the
bankrupt had aided him in recovering the property ;
and what was the probable value of the goods dis-
covered ?

Mr. Whitmore said the bankrupt had not given
the least aid. The property was discovered at eight
different p!aces, and its value was between 6001.
and 7001.

The COMMISSIONER asked for the bankrupt's
books from the 27th of April down to the time of
the bankruptcy.
The bankrupt could not give any accounts.
The COMMISSIONER said the Court had dealt too
leniently with the bankrupt. He should renew the
protection for one month, during which time he
hoped the bankrupt would make a full disclosure of
his estate.

The proceedings were adjourned to a future day,

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WINTER CIRCUIT —HERrFoRn. Nor. 28,

Justice GASELEE and Mr. Baron VAUGHAN. Their
Lordships having opened the Commissions, Mr. Jul].
ce GASELEE proceeded to charge the Gland Jury.

(Before Mr. Baron VaintrAN.)

TILE KING V. JOSEPH BRADLEY AND ANOTHER.
This was an indictment for forcibly breaking and
entering into a house in the joint occupation of John
Latter and John Young. This case was only one of
the many which have arisen out of the Hertford
election feuds.

The Jury, afar hearing evidence, acquitted the
defendants.

OLD BAILEY, Nor. 28.

Edward Moore, Joseph Moore, and Charles
Moore, aged seventeen, twenty-five, and twenty-
two, described in the calendar as sweeps, were
indicted for stealing sixty-four pounds of raw fat,
and some other articles, the property of James
Ware. Verdict—Not Guilty.
Ann Dixon, aged 19, and Joseph Goddard, aged
17, were indicted for stealing eight garnet stones,
value 101., the property of Robert Bunting, her
master; and Joseph Goddard was indicted for
feloniously receiving the garnets, well knowing them
to have been stolen.
Several witnesses gave both the prisoners an ex-
cellent character.

The Learned JUDGE summed up.
The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and re-
turned a verdict of Guilty against the female, but
acquitted the male prisoner.

At a quarter-past seven the Middlesex Jury re-
tired, and the prisoners to be tried in London cases
were arraigned. Amongst the arraignments was
that of Henry Berthold, a Saxon, the author of a
considerable quantity of r volutionary trash under
the head of the National Guardian, a sheet which
was distributed with a tri-coloured border round it.
He was also a contributor to other works of the
same description, and was the oracle of the Radical
party.
To his arraignment he pleaded Not Guilty, but
requested that a time might be appointed to-morrow
(this day) for his trial, as he had subpoenaed eight
witnesses, some of whom were present.
The Learned JUDGE inquired how long he had
been committed ? Eerthold replied six weeks.
The Learned JUDGE thought that lie had had
sufficient time to collect his evidence, and inquired
whether, as a foreigner, lie would prefer a Jury com-

pond of half foreigners and half English, or whether
he would take the usual Jury ? Berthold said, be
had a high opinion•of a British jury, and should be
content to be tried by them.
The Learned JUDGE said he must make an affida-
vit relative to the absence of his witnesses, and his
case should be adjourned.
Henry Lockie was indicted for stealing forty
sovereigns in the dwelling-house of Harriet Hedger,
the property of Elizabeth Chambers, and nine silver
spoons, the property of Miss Hedger.—Guilty.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nor. 28.

REX V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE METROPOLIS

ROADS.

This was an appeal which, although the amount
in dispute was only 48/. 10s., involved a principle
of very considerable and general importance. By
the long-established law of the land every parish
throughout the kingdom is bound to keep its high
ways in repair by statute labour, and also to contri-
bute proportionally in aid of the tolls for maintain-
ing so much of the turnpike roads as run through
the parish. But, in ca-e the turnpike road should
be in substantial repair, and the highways be out
of repair, power was given to two Magistrates, sit-
ting in Special Session, to release such parish for a
time from any payment towards the keeping up the
turnpike roads, provided such relief could be afforded
without endangering the securi'y of the moneys ad-
vanced on the tolls and receipts of such turnpike
roads. The parish of Fulham had claimed to be so
relieved, and at a Special Session held at that vd-
lage, after hearing evidence, Sir J. S. Lillie and E.
Sketchley, Esq., made an order granting the relief
prayed for one year. Against this order the Com-
missioners of the Metropolis Roads now appealed.
After Counsel had been heard on both sides,
The COURT decided in favour of the order by a
majority of nine to two.
