LAW INTZLLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Commissioners Goulburn and liolroyd )

DISPUTED ADJUDICATION.-THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK

To-clay was appointed for hearing arguments on the
diTuted adjudication in this case, of which tiro notices
had been served, one on the part of the directors, and
the other on the part of Colonel the Hon. John King-
ston Phipp4, a shareholder.

Mr. Gifford and Mr. Brown (instructed by Messrs.
Linklater and Hackwood) appeared in support of the
petition for adjudic4tion.

Mr. Bagley, with whom was Mr. Field, appeared on
behalf of the directors disputing, viz., George Gillott,
Richard Hurst, Richard Hartley Kennedy, Frederick
Valiant, Edward and Isaiah Butt.
Mr. Lewis appeared for Colonel Ph ippg.
Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the Rev. Mr.
Gile, a depositor for 2501.
Mr. Chidley for Mr. Morrice and other creditors.
Mr. Harding (Messrs. Harding and Pullen, the official
managers) was also present.

The Court was densely crowded.
Mr. Giffard objected to Mr. Field being heard on
behalf of a shareholder.

Mr. Field contended a shareholder W 33 entitled to bo
beard, as his interest and property was involved in the
winding up of the concern, and referred to the 71st sec-
tion of the charter of the corporation.

His Honour, Holroyd, in conferring with Mr. Corn
missioner Goulburn, said that they were of opinion that
for this purpose they did not consider that a shareholder
could bo heard—four of the directors who had given
notice to dispute stood in a position of a per.,on who
had been made bankrupt, and was therefore entitled to
dispute the adjudication ; but any other person who felt
aggrieved might present a patition to annul, that not
having been done rho shareholder could not be heard.
The Court then proceeded to hear the evidence on
which the adjudication bad been made.
The debt of the original petitioning being abandoned,
another was substituted—that of Mi. Robertson, of
Leenidas-terrace, Kent-road, creditor for 1,5001. on a
drawing account, was then tendered.

Their Honours were of opinion at present that the
debt had been wade out, but at a future stage of the
proceedings Mr. Bayley might urge any argument *be
thought necessary.

The learned counsel, for the petitioners, said that as
there was a contingency that the debt might be disputed
they would add another.

Mr. Maxwell, advertising agent, of Nicholas-court,
Lombard-street. was then examined on a claim for a
balance of 2,0001.

This debt was also admitted.

A variety of documents having been put in for formal
proof as to the different proceedings which had taken
place in this court and before the Master in Chancery,
which have been reported at different meetings, and the
injunction of the Court of Chancery, dated Oct. 1:3,
having been also put in and read, the case proceeded, but
was ultimately adjourned for further discuaion.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

SOUTHWARK.

EXTENSIV? ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—AnTh ltoon, a
very respectable looking young girl, 15 years of age,
was brought before Mr. Burchara, charged with stealing
goods valued at 401., the property of her mistress, Miss
S. Buer, hosier, &c., Brighton. Mr. Lewis appeared for
the prisoner.

The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner, who is con-
nected with a good family, had been with her a short
time on trial, with the view becoming an apprentice.
But a week ago witness had some suspicion that she had
been robbing her, and she told her of it. Toe prisoner
admitted having stolen stockings, silks, gloves, lace, &0.,
and made out a list ofgoods amounting to 401. 45., which
she had purloined. Witness then brought her up to
London to her parents, whom she acquainted of the cir-
cutnstance3, and on Saturday she called in the police and
gave her into custody. 4. pair of gloves and a pieca of
silk were found on her, yiiiich witness identified as her
property.

In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis witness said that
when the girl admitted having robbed her to a great
extent, she asked her to make out a list of the articles
and the prices. She did so of her own free will, and
when they came up to London something was said by
her father and mother about compromising the affair for
35/. Witness did not oppose that, neither did she offer
to accept it. That was a day or two before she was
given into custody.

Sergeant Turpla, 6 M, said he was sent for to take
the prisoner into custody, and he received a pair of
gloves from her mother, which Miss Buer identified.
She was charged with stealing 501. worth of property,
and there was nothing said about compromising the
felony i❑ his presence.
_ .

Mr. Lewis contended that the prisoner ought never to
have been given into custody, inasmuch as a confession
was extracted from her under the promise of forgiveness,
and an attempt to compromise the affair for 351. The
father and mother of the girl considered that the sum
was much beyond the defalcations ; and on their re-
fusing to pay that demand, she was given into custody.
Inspector Mackenzie, who took the charge, stated
that he heard Miss Baer say she was willing to compro-
mise the matter. That was stated in the station-house.
Mr. Burcharn said that did not do away with the
felony, as property was found on her. The robbery, if
any, had been committed at Brighton, therefore, he
should send her there for farther examination. The
prisoner was at once taken by Sergeant Turpin to
Brighton.
