able to work it up in so artful a manner as to produce
Such intense interest. I read late—l could not lay it

ALLNU'I r S FRUIT LOZENGES, tbr
Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats, Hoarseness, &c.,
prepared solely by the proprietor, S. ALLNUTT, Chy-
mist, Portsea, who returns his best thanks to the public
toe the very extensive patronage which be has already
received for his highly useful FRUIT LOZENGE, and
begs to assure them that in this preparation are concen-
trated, in a high degree, all the well-known virtues of
the black currant ; and the. proprietor, convinced that, in
point of efficacy and elegance of preparation, they are
surpassed by none ever offered to die public, recommends
them as very beneficial in the above complaints, the aci-
dity of the fruit tending greatly to allay inflammation,
and to promote a free expectoration, and to alleviate a
hard dry cough. Public speakers and singers will find
them particularly useful. They are perfectly harmless to
the most delicate constitutions. Be cat elul to ask for
" Allnutt's Fruit Lozenges."

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEC. 14.

SUB-DIVISION COURT.
Mpssrs. MERIVALE, HOLROYD, and FONBLANQUE, held
a Sub-Division Court for the purpose of giving judgment
in a cast of some importance reg irding the right of proof

on bonds.
Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE said the husband of the
bankrupt became indebted to Mr. Graham in the sum of
500/., and for which he gave a bond. The husband,
Charles Verender, died in 1827, leaving his whole estate
to his wife, subject to the payment of his debts, the widow
continuing to carry on her late husband's business of a coal-
merchant. Mr. Graham pressed for payment of the bond
when a new bond was executed with the following sureties—
Mr. Saut, Mr. Leslie, and Mr. Wilson, Mr. Leslie being an
executor under the will of the deceased. The widow be-
came a bankrupt, and Mr. Graham sought to prove for
the amount of the bond, which was opposed on the
ground that the co-obligators were solvent, and therefore
the claimant ought to prove against the sureties, they be-
ing jointly and severally bound by the bond. The Court
was prayed to admit tl,e proof of Mr. Graham, as the
sureties were not jointly liable, and as it had decided
that they were paced in the same si,nation as co-contrac-
tors. They (the Commissioners) thought that Mrs.
Verender's liability rested solely on the contract having
been signed by the sureties as principles, and that !he
proof should he admitted against the separate estate of the
bankrupt, unless evidence was let in to explain the inten-
tions of the parties, and to show that the bond, though
only joint, was intended to be joint and several.
(Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAars.)
EXTENSIVE BANKRUTTCY.
A meeting of the creditors under the commission of
bankruptcy awarded about twenty years ago against Mr.
Thomas Morris, of Barton-upon-Humber, and Mr. Richard
Nicholson, of Glamford Briggs, bankers, was held to-day,
for the further proof of debts and the declaration of a
dividend.
The proceedings in this case are extremely curious. The
law charges in working the commission and Chancery
suits, and other legal proceedings in relation to the pro-
perty of the bankrupts, show in an extraordinary degree
the enormous expenses of the law. The money so distri-
buted amounts to between 24,0001. or 25,0001. A very
lame sum of money is now dependent noon the decisions
of the Court of Chancery, and which will, with• assets in
hand, and accumulations of interest, be made available
shortly for future dividends.
The total proofs, Ex., against the joint estate are within
a few pounds of 190,000/., upon which dividends have
already ben declared of ss. 91 in the pound.
Upon the separate estate of Sir. Morris the proofs are
45 9091., and the dividends already paid amount to 15s. Sd.

in the pound.
The proofs upon the separate estate of Mr. R. Nicholson
are 19,4211., and the dividends already paid are I le. in
the pound.
There are upwards of 4,000 creditors, and the books,
proceedings, and records would fill a small cart.
The Court was prayed by a solicitor to grant nut of the
assets in hand a dividend on a proof on the proceedings,
as his party had not received any for twenty years.
Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS said his feelings would
prompt him to make the order; but while the proceed-
ings in Chancery were going on, and the accounts unau-
dited for the dividends to be declared, be could not grant
the prayer.
The disputed points were, by consent, postponed till the
next meeting, when the audit will take place and further
dividends be declared.

(Before Mr. Commissioner EvaNs.)
JAMES COCHRANE'S BANKRUPTCY.

Another misting of the creditors of James Cochrane, a
bookseller, of Waterloo_place, was held to-day, for the
further proof of debts and the declaring a dividend. The
meeting was attended by several of the proprietors and
others interested in the public journals of the metropolis,
to make proof against the bankrupt's estate for advertise-
ment accounts.
A great number of proofs were tendered on bills of
exchange, the consideration given for which was not in
many cases establi.hed to the satisfaction of the Court, and
the claims were postponed.
Most of the creditors signed a release to Captain
Chamier, who had been considered a partner with the
bankrupt, on condition of the payment of a considerable
sum. If the money is accepted the creditors are expected
to be paid about lls. in the pound.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

TILE ANCIENT WATCHMEN .—Abraham Draper,
a constable, was on Saturday charged before the
LORD MAYOR.
James Johnson, a watchman, of Lime-street
Ward, stated that on Tuesday night, at 12 o'clock,
a gentleman, named Symes, called the watch, and
when he (complainant) went up to the spot from
whence the cry proceeded, Mr. S. began to abuse
him in the grossest manner for not having come up
sooner, and struck him violently two or three times.
Witness thereupon took Mr. Symes to the watch-
house and complained, but the constable of the night
refused to take cognizance of the charge, and dis-
charged the gentleman.
Another watchman swore that the language Mr.
Symes used was dreadful in the extreme.
The LORD MAYOR—Come, let us know what
he said. Watchman—Said ? Why he called him
everything but a gentleman, though the watchman
did his business like a gentleman.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—But be a little particular.
Let us know the words. Watchman—Why he
said this here gentleman was a vagabond.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, and what else ? Watch-
man—Every thing bad as he could lay his tongue to.
The LORD MAYOR—And where was this ? Watch-
man—ln the watchus, to be sure, my Lord. Ay,
and he called him worse nor all that.—(Here the
witness used an odious epithet, which he said Mr.
Symes rattled out.)
The Constable—Upon my oath, my Lord, Mr.
Symes never uttered any thing of the kind. I gave
the complainant the gentleman's address in Fen-
church-buildings, where I knew him to have resided
long; and I refused to. take the charge, and lock up
the gentleman, upon so improbable a statement.
Complainant—My Lord, this here man at the bar
has a hanimosity towards me. He refused to take
a charge a.couple of months ago from me, when I
got a terrible poke the eye—(Laughter)—so I was
determined to pull him up now.
Mr. Symes said that the complainant had most scan-
dalously misrepresented the case. He (complainant)

was walking home on the night in question, with his
hands behind his back, when suddenly he felt some-
body behind him applying a lighted segar to his
fingers.—(Laughter.) Upon turning round to the
incendiary, he asked two or th!ee young men, who
were smoking, what they meant, but received no
answer except a horse laugh, at which he felt rather
irritated. He then called to the police, but none
were in the way. Upon looking round he beheld
the complainant at his ease, lolling. in a doorway,
and called to him. The lazy fit was, however, upon
the man, and he would not stir till the segar smokers
had disappeared. Witness then told the complain-
ant that a complaint should be made to the authori-
ties upon the subject. " Oh, very well," said he,
" then I'll lock you up."
Mr. Hobler—For insulting his dignity ; what
else could you expect? Witness—l never touched
the man, but my feelings being strongly roused, I
certainly may have used strong language. The
dreadful word attributed to me, however, I never in
my life used. I have lived twenty-four years in the
buildings, and am known well ; and I refer to a very
large acquaintance whether they think, under any
circumstances, I would have disgraced myself, by
making such horrible reproaches.
Several gentlemen stepped forward to testify to
the truth of this statement, but

The LORD MAYOR would not insult Mr. Symes
by hearing testimony in proof of the fact that such
words we►e not used. The Gentlemen of the Ward
would no doubt know how to estimate the value of
such watchmen as these. At the same time his
Lordship thought that the constable was wrong in
not taking the charge, for if it had been entered it
must have come before the Magistrate, and care
would have been taken to represent the matter to
the authorities, who would no doubt have dealt with
it judiciously, by disposing of two such fellows as
had presumed to appear at the Justice-room with a
complaint.
• The defendant was then discharged.

JOSEPH ADY.—The LORD MAYOR has received
several lrtters from gentlemen in the conntry, en-
closing promises of intelligence considerably to the
advantage of the persons addressed upon payment
of twenty shillings a-piece, at 11, Circus, Minories,
the address of the notorious Joseph Ady, who now
subscribes himself " James Laurie."

The following is a copy of one of the epistles:—
" Gentlemen—The undersigned is able to inform you
of someth'ng considerably to your advantage, on the receipt
of twenty shillings by Post•office order or otherways, fir
his trouble. " You's respectfully,
" JAMES LAURIE, Accountant,
" Nu. 11, Circus, iNtioories, London.
" Value 201. yearly for ever.
" No letters received unless post paid."
We understand it is the intention of Joseph to
give all the Aldermen a turn in this way, and to
claim relationship to each, as a recommendation to
the confidence of the public.
G UILDHALL.

UNPLEASANT TERMINATION TO A FROLIC.---A
student at St. Bartholomew's Hospital was charged
with having been found in female attire, walking in
Fleet-street, about ten o'clock on Friday night.
The prisoner, who appeared much ashamed, said
he was tipsy, and he put on the clothes merely to
call at a friend's house to see whether he should be
recognised in his masquerade.
Several persons spoke as to his respectability,
atd he was discharged on paying a fine of five
