calty in getting tkem on, from the waiter being in the
room, without exciting suspicion, I sent him oat
for brandy aid water and cigars. We afterwards
procaeded to the station where the porter wished to
take our carpet bags. I refused to let him have
them, but he almost forded them from us and placed
them in the carriage. We were asked to show our
tickets and we did so. Two return tickets from Ostend,
obtained by Pierce from a man named Gowes. The
porter remarked that the boxes were very heavy, and
that no passenger from Ostend had that day passed the
Custom-house. I said, "No, we canoe over the day be-
fore," and gave the porter a few shillings. We returned
by that train. Burgess was the guard, and he placed us
in a first-class carriage by ourselves. We threw the
hay in the large carpet bags out of the carriage window,
and put the gold and bars from the courier bags into
small ones we had with us. At a station on the road
Pierce jumped out and placed the empty bag behind a
door of a waiting room. The porter said to him what
are you doing there, and he replied looking for a friend.
He returned to the carriage and we proceeded to town,
arriving at 5 o'clock. We then got out with our courier
and other bags, hired a cab, and directed him to drive
to the Great Western Railway. When near there
we said we had made a mistake, and told him to drive
to Easton-square. He did so, and we got out at a pub-
lic-house near the station. We remained there half an
hour, and after that we called a cab and drove to near
Pierce's residence. We got out and walked there.
After depositing the gold in Pierce's house we met
Tester near the Borough-market steps, and he gave
me bask the bar of gold I bad left for him at Red-
hill-station. I and Pierce then left him, and we drove in
a cab to near the East India-house. I remained there
in the cab with the bar of gold, and some of the Ameri-
can gold coins, whilst Pierce went to a silversmith's
shop, at the corner of St. Mary-axe, and sold the rest.
We then drove to the Haymarket, where Pierce took
the remainder of the American coins to a money-changer's,
I think Spillman's, and sold them for upwards of 2001.
He was paid by cheque on the Uniou Bank, which we
cashed immediately. We discharged the cab and re-
turned to Pierce's house.

It being now quarter past 5 o'clock, and finding it
was impossible to complete the case to-night, the further
examination of the prisoners was adjourned to Monday.
During the whole of the time the court was densely
crowded. The magnitude of the robbery and the daring
and adroit manner in which it was accomplished caused
the Mansion-house to be besieged the whole of the after-
noon by a large crowd of persons who were unable to
gain admittance to the court.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE BRAMWELL.

EXTRAORDINARY CAM—This bankrupt was described
as of loyal Exchange-buildings, metal merchant, and
to-day was appointed for his last examination.
Mr. Lawrence appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Link-

later, for the bankrupt; Mr.,Chidley, for Mr. Hawkins,
a creditor ; and Mr. Phillips, a solicitor, to oppose in
person.

Mr. Linklater, in the first place, applied to his
Honour to sign a certificate under the Private Arrange-
ment Act, the bankrupt having assigned the whole of
his property for the benefit of his creditors in September,
1854 ; but, by some accident, the usual certificate, al-
though drawn up, was not signed.

Mr. Lawrence, the solicitor under the bankruptcy,
banded in the certificate, which was undated and unsigned.
The accounts, prepared by Messrs. Harding and Pal-
leis, under the arrangement and under the bankruptcy,
were put in.

Mr. Phillips opposed the granting of the certificate
on several grounds, contending that if any fraud could
be shown it disentitled the petitioner to a certificate.
The first objection was that the bankrupt in both balance
sheets had wholly omitted a settlement on his wife. He
had also set down his property at 4001., whereby accord-
ing to the premium it must have been insured for
2,500/.,and he had also insured his life, which, aocording
to the premiums must have been for from 1,5001. to
2,0001. He had also an interest in the Sunderland Bank,
not one word of which was stated. He had also been a
partner in the firm of Maitland, Hatch, and Co., which
was omitted. He also charged the bankrupt with having
fraudulently contracted debts previously to the petition,
and further urged minor grounds.

Mr. Lawrence had never heard about the settlement,
and had been told that the property insured (in Con-
naught-terrace) had been sold to the incoming tenant
seven years ago.

Hid Honour said the bankrupt could be examined, and
his examination and that of several witnesses will occupy
he whole o f the day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,— (This Day).

BO W-STREET.

THE MURDER IN PARLIAMENT-STREET.—This day
Robert Marley was again placed at the bar before Mr.
Jardine, and was charged with the murder of Richard
Cope.

The evidence adduced against the prisoner was merely
a repetition of that given at the coroner's inquest held
on the body of the unfortunate man, Richard Cope, at
the Westminster Hospital last evening, a report of which
we published in our late edition, and which will be found
in another part of The Sun.

At the conclusion of the evidence the magistrate fully
committed the prisoner for trial for the wilful murder of
Richard Cope.

IdARLEOKOUGII.STREET.

AN ARTFUL TRICK.--Bobcrt Withll, an ill-looking
young fellow, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bing.
ham, on the following charges.
John Goddard, an intelligent lad, about 14 years of
age, stated that he was an errand boy to a butcher in
Fitzroy-market. On the previous evening he was
coming down Charlotte-street, Fitaroy-square, when he
met the prisoner, who asked him to fetch him a guar--
tern of gin, and promised him a penny for his trouble.
Witness said he would, and the prisoner then gave him a
bottle and the half crown produced to pay for the liquor.
He went into the public-house at the corner of
Charles-street, and called fur the gin, in payment
for which he gave the barman the half-crown.
The landlord at once detected the coin to be
a counterfeit, and asked him where he got it
from. Witness told him he had received it from a man
outside who was waiting for the gin. The landlord fol-
lowed him out, and on his pointing to the prisoner as
the man from whom he received the coin, he (the land.
lord) gave him into custody.
John Page, landlord of the spread Eagle, Charles -
street, Oxford-street, said on detecting the half-crown to
be a counterfeit, and hearing the lad's statement as to
how he came no,teessed of it, he followed him outside the
door, and saw hi'm give the gin to the prisoner. Wit-
ness immediately collared him, when he denied all know-
ledge of the lad. A constable at that moment came up,
and he gave him in tv custody.
The prisoner, whoa denied the charge, was remanded
for a week.
