THE KING V. FRANKS.

This was a rule calling on the defendant to show
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against him for the publication of libels on Mr. Da-
mole, clerk of the Merchant Tailors' Company. The
alleged libels were published in September and Oc-
tober last, in a weekly newspaper called the Sunday
Herald. The articles appeared under the head of
Close Corporations ;" and the objectionable one
charged Mr. Demole with being a Swiss, and the
son of a woman of light character. After some cor-
respondence with the proprietors of the paper the de-
fendant was given up as the writer of the paragraph.
Mr. HILL, this day showed cause against the rule.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jurrt; 12.

(Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS.)
J. STRANGMAN'S BANKRUPTCY.

IThe bankrupt in this case, an extensive fiourfactor,
some time since proceeded to America; and, as he did
not surrender to a fiat of bankruptcy issued against
him, he was proclaimed according to the forms of the
bankrupt laws. He, however, returned to London,
and surrendered to the fiat ; and the sentence of tha
outlawry having been reversed, the bankrupt, it ap-
peared, left property in America, and among other
things he had purchased two hundred acres of land in
Canada with a view of settling ther-.. The bankrupt
has been several times before the court, but time has
been required to obtain advices from America relative
to sums deposited by him in the American banks, and
of which he has given information. The bankrupt was
to have passed his final examination to-day, but the
required information not having been received a fur-
ther adjournment was agreed to. The claims against
the estate are rather above 11,0001., and between
2,000/. and 3,000/. are in hand, the remainder of the
assets being abroad.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, RINE 12.

Count Alfred Hamilton de la Roche, described in
his schedule as colonel of infantry in the service of
France, on " desponibility," was opposed by Mr.
Cooke on the part of Messrs. Prescott, Mr. Warren,
and other creditors residing at Dover. He was sup-
ported by Mr. Woodroffe.
The Count had resided about four years at Dover,
and his debts amounted to about 1,2001. He had, he
said, been secretary to Louis the Eighteenth, and had
received from that monarch various gratuities out of
his private purse; he had received up to his arrest his
pay as colonel of 1951, a year from the French govern-
ment, but it had been stopped since his imprisonment.
His countess had expectations of receiving considerable
property as the daughter of a gentleman named Ro-
berts, who died many years ago. The property was
situate in Essex, and the count said he considered his
lady entitled to about twenty-five thousand pounds.
He admitted that the estates were heavily mortganedo M
to Mr. Mash, of the Lord Chamberlain's office. r.
Zachariah Warren, one of the opposing creditors,
claimed nearly eight hundred pounds for money
advanced, and goods supplied as a bookseller and
stationer at Dover. Mr. Warren was examined at
some length ; he stated that he was induced to
make advances to the count on his representing
that the countess was entitled to a share of 600/. in
certain reversionary property, under the will of a lady
named Fin, and mentioned the time he said it would be
paid. He also said that considerable property would
come to him in right of his lady, and that his signature
was required to leases of farms in Essex which had
belonged to his father-in-law : he told him that Mr.
Mash was trustee to that property. On the faith of
these representations Mr. Warren said he credited the
count. The count now contradicted in part Mr. War-
ren's evidence as to the representations. It farther
appeared that in October, while the count was in pri-
son, he ordered the furniture at Dover to be sold by
auction. It realised I I IL, and after the sale his fa-
mily left that place ; his creditors were not benefitted
by the disposal ; he had since lived at Bayswater, but
had not inserted that residence in his description.
The case was adjourned sine die.
