COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 17

SELL V. BRAITHWAITE.

The plaintiff in this case was a livery-stable keeper and
the defendant a Gentleman who had formed one of a party
to go to Hampton Races in the early part of this year.
This was an action to recover the money expended for the
repair of the phaeton in which the party went to the races,
and which was injured on its return home ; and also for
the- hire of another carriage while it was under repair.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff ; and the
damages were assessed at 181., the amount charged for the
hire of the other carriage being objected to by the defen-
dant's counsel, and not insisted upon by the other side.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—DEc. 17.

ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.-HOWELL V. JACKSON

The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff committed the
first assault in presence of a constable, and that he had
conducted himself in a violent and outrageous manner in
defendant's house. The defendant kept the public-house
called the Hercules, in Leadenhall-street.

On the 6th of November, 1833, the plaintiff, with three
other persons, was drinking in the defendant's tap-room
about ten o'clock in the evening, and a drunken man having
intruded into the house there ensued a scuffle, in which the
landlord, in attempting to put out the whole party, kicked
the plaintiff's shins, when the plaintiff placing his hand on
the defendant's shoulder to avoid falling, the defendant
seized him by the collar. The plaintiff then used all his
efforts to prevent his being turned out by the defendant,
who however gave
him into custody to a watchman, under
the charge of being drunk and disorderly. The plaintiff
was imprisoned in the station-house till next morning, when
he was taken before the Lord Mayor and discharged.
Verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEC. 17.

BENTLEY, DEAR, AND CO.'s BANKRUFCY.

A meeting of this large mercantile establishment, was
held to-day for the proof of debts, and to allow Mr. Dear
and Mr. Richardson to pass their final examination. Mr.
Bentley still absents himself from his croditors, but the re-
ward of 100/. offered for his apprehension has been with-
drawn. The Court room was again fully attended, a great
number of creditors having debts to prove.
A claim was made on behalf of Messrs, Vere and Co.,
bankers, to prove against the joint estate for 10,0001., on
a bill drawn by Bentley, and passed into the claimant's
house through that of Mr. Gummersall, the bill broker.
The proof was opposed on behalf of the estate. Mr. Sapte,
of the firm of Vere and Co., attended to make the proof.
The bankrupts then passed their final examination, and
were questioned by Mr. Ashurst, if they had given a full
statement of their effects, and whether any property had
been removed to the house of Mr. Buckley in Shoreditch,
unaccounted fora The bankrupts replied to all the ques-
tions in the most satisfactory manner.
There were about eighty fresh proofs submitted to-day,
amounting to a large sum. The previous proofs were for
nearly 70,000/. The assets. in hand are nearly 50,000/.,
and it is expected that a dividend of from Bs. to 10s. in the
pound will be paid, as every description of liability does not
exceed 125,000/. The balance-sheet was extremely volu-
minous, and the greatest difficulty has been experienced by
the official assignee in arranging the accounts, in conse-
quence of false entries which were made by Bentley.
The further proceedings were adjourned.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-DEC. 17.

OLD COURT.

Upon the RECORDER entering the Court at five o'clock,
Richard Carlile was ordered to be brought up, which was
accordingly done.
RECORDER—Richard Carlile, the Court is informed that
you have not paid the fine, or taken any steps to find the
sureties which has been required of you, and I therefore
think it is right to inform you, that you will be removed
from here and placed in the same custody as if you had
been tried at Guildhall, and had been punished with impri-
sonment in Giltspur-street compter, being one of the pri-
sons under the new Act. You are to understand that you
will be removed to Giltspur-street compter, and there
remain until such fine is paid, and the sureties required by
the Court be entered into.
Carlile then bowed and retired.
RECORDER—Make what has taken place a minute of
the Court.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Count Alexander Szadursky, charged at this
office on Monday with uttering a forged bill of exchange
for 5001., purporting to be drawn by the house of Steiglitz
of St Petersburgh to George Finch, was brought up for
further examination. Owing to the publicity given to the
former examination the office was thronged with people,
some of whom had suffered pecuniary losses by the artifice
of the prisoner.
After a long examination the Magistrate committed the
prisoner on the charge of uttering the .500/. bill, well
knowing at the time that it was a forgery.
The prisoner will, however, be brought up again, as there
are some charges of fraud to be preferred against him.
