DARING BURGLARY IN WESTAIORELAAD,
On Saturday last the magistrates at Appleby were
engaged a considerable time in the investigation of a
charge of burglary, preferred against two men who
gave the names of Richard Burne and Richard
Smith, and described themselves as railway labourers
in search of work. Gillball, the scene of the burglary,
is a farmhouse in a lonely part of the parish of
Orton, and on Wednesday night was inhabited by
Mr. William Stubbs, the owner of the estate, who is
eighty-two, his nephew Rawes Thompson, a youth
about fourteen,2,and Eleanor Davis, his housekeeper.
The old man and his nephew slept in adjoining rooms
up stairs, and the housekeeper in a room on the ground
floor. Between one and two o'clock on Thursday
morning Eleanor Davis was awakened by a noise in
the house, and immediately afterwards three men,
wearing round-about fustian jackets, and one of them
with a veil over his face, entered her room. One man
had got possession of Mr. Stubbs gun, and, pointing
it at her, threatened in the most violent language
to shoot her if she did not lie still and tell
them where the old man kept his money. The
girl was so much alarmed and confused that she did
not remember what answer she made. Mr. Stubbs
and the boy both heard the noise, and the latter
called down stairs, " Is it you, Eleanor ?" Oae of the
men answered, " If you are not quiet, I'll knock your
blasted heart out of you!" and immediately afterwards
all three went to his room and threatened they would
shoot him if he made any resistance. They next pro-
ceeded to Mr. Stubbs' room door and thrust the gun
barrel into the room. The old man had got out of
bed and was standing beside the door; he seized hold
of the gun and endeavoured to pull it away, but
could not; he then by an extraordinary effort of strength
succeeded in shutting the door against the burglars
and placed his back against it; but his exertions were
unavailing, they instantly burst the door open, and
threw the old man down with the door upon him.
Two of the men held him down, and one of them
pointed the gun at him, while the others demanded
his keys, swearing he should be shot if be did not im-
mediately give them up. Resistance was out of
the
question, and the demand was at once complied with.
Tney then ransacked his pockets and the drawers in
the room, and took from them 81. 10s. in money, ten
silver teaspoons, and two pair of sugar tongs; and
having satisfied themselves that he had no mere money
in the house they hurried away. Eleanor Davis, after
they had gone upstairs, on their first coming into the
house, escaped by breaking through her bedroom win-
dow, and without either shoes or stockings, or any other
covering on than her nightdress, went to the nearest
neighbour's house, distant about a quarter, of a mile,
but before assistance arrived the villains had de-
camped. Late on the Thursday evening the two pri-
soners, who answered the description given of the
burglars, were apprehended on a haymow in a barn,
near to • King's Meaburn, about eight miles from
Gill-hall; but neither Mr. Stubbs nor his nephew or
housekeeper could identity them as being privy to the
burglary, and the magistrates had no alternative but
to acquit them of the charge. They had been seen
begging at King's Meaburn on the day of their ap-
prehension, which they admitted, and the magistrate
committed them to prison for one month as vagrants.
Several other robberies have recently been committed
in the same parish, and the inhabitants are taking
steps to obtain the services of an efficient police officer
during the winter months.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE
NORTHERN
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE )
Daniel Gannon, aged 19, was charged with having,
at Manchester, en the 17th of October last, in com-
pany with another person unknown, assaulted and
robbed with violence one Michael Kenny.
Mr. Assheton Cross appeared for the prosecution ;
the prisoner was undefended.
The prosecutor and his brother, who are Irishmen,
had been over in this country in the autumn, for the
harvest, and on the 17th of October, as they were re-
turning to Ireland, they stopped at a public•house in
Liverpool road, Manchester, to inquire the way to
the station, in order that they might go by the cheap
train to Liverpool, and whilst they were in the public-
house, the money they had, which amounted to 71.
10s., was produced, and then replaced in the prose-
cutor's pocket. Subsequently he went out into the
back yard, and the prisoner, who is a private in the
29th Regiment, accompanied by another soldier, fol-
lowed him, and in the yard they tripped him up, and
having got possession of the purse, they took 2/. 10s.
out of it, and then returned it to him. Information
of the circumstance having been given to the colonel
of the 29A1, inquiries were instituted, and the prisoner,
along with several other men of the regiment, were
placed together in the guard-room; and upon the
prosecutor and his brother entering the room l'iey
immediately selected the prisoner as the man who
had committed the robbery ; and on the prisoner's bed
being searched a sovereign, two helf-crowns, eleven
shillings, and four halfpence were found.
His Lordship having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict of Guilty.
Sentenced to seven years' transportation.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice
ERLI3.)
Daniel Eyre, a respectable looking young man, a
subsorter in the Manchester Post-office, was charged
with having at Manchester, on the 18th of May last,
stolen a post office letter, containing a Bank of
England note for Si., the property of the Postmaster-
General.
Mr. Cobbett and Mr. Whigham prosecuted ; Mr.
Monk defended the prisoner.
It appeared that on the 17th of May last a Mr.
Joseph Coward, who resides at Barrow, in this county,
posted a letter at Barrow, containing a Si. note, ad-
dressed to Mr. James Smith, commission agent,
Southgate, St. Mary's, Manchester, which ought in
the course of business to have been delivered at Man-.
chester on the following day, but it never reached
Mr. Smith, who in about ten days informed the
prosecutor that the letter and note had not arrived,
upon which information was given to the Post-office
authorities. Some time elapsed ; but subsequently
it was discovered that, on the 29th of August, the
prisoner and his wife were on a visit in Southwark,
and that while there his sister-in-law obtained change
for the note in question, at the same time writing her
name and address upon it. The prisoner was appre-
hended on the 101.11 of September, when he acknow-
ledged that he had had the letter in his possession.
Mr. Moex addressed the jury for the prisoner,
and contended that the case had not been sufficiently
substantiated against the prisoner. In the course of
the transmission of the letter to Manchester it had
passed through the hands of several persons, by whom
the note might have been abstracted, and, having got
into circulation, it might have come into the prisoner's
possession honestly, and without his having been
guilty of felony.
Mr. Entwisle, the banker, of Manchester, in whose
service the prisoner lived as butler before he entered
into that of the Post-office, gave him an excellent
character for honesty; and Mr. Ransome, a mer-
chant, of Manchester, also gave him a character for
honesty during some years.
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty,with a strong
recommendation to mercy.
His LORDSHIP said that the prisoner had been con-
victed of a very grave charge, on evidence which left
no doubt of his guilt; and unhappily these kind of
offences by Post-office officials were very prevalent.
The excellent character which the prisoner had re-
ceived was of little avail, for it was that very charac-
ter which enabled persons to commit such offences,
because no person could obtain a Post-office situation
without a good character. He was always glad to act
upon the recommendation of a jury to mercy, but in
the present case that recommendation could not pre-
vent the removal of the prisoner from this country,
though, had it not been for that recommendation, he
should have felt it his duty to pass a more severe sen-
tence than he intended to do, which was that of
transportatioa for ten years.
Gill ert Lecy, a boy only twelve years of age, was
indicted for the manslaughter of another boy, named
John Bothwell, at Aughton, on the 3d of November
last.
Mr. Blair prosecuted ; Mr. Monk defended the
prisoner.
It appeared that on the evening of the 3d of October
the deceased had a stick, which the prisoner tried to
get possession of, which he eventually succeeded in
doing, and took it up the yard in which he lived to
hide it; in about a quarter of an hour he returned
with another stick, which was a short one, having a
knot at the head; with this in his hand he ran after
the deceased, who tried to escape from the prisoner,
but the latter succeeded in reaching him, and hit him
twice on the side of the head, causing effusion of
blood on the brain, from which death ensued the same
evening.
Mr. Monk having addressed the jury for the pri-
Price. soner,
His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said that it was a
maxim of the law that a person under the age of
i seven years could not be guilty of a felonious act.
A Above fourteen, a person was supposed to have at-
tained discretion, and was as responsible for his ac-
tions as those of more mature age ; but during the
)4' interval from seven to fourteen a person was pre-
sumed not to be guilty of felony, unless there was
' strong evidence of malice. Ile should therefore leave
it to the jury to say whether the prisoner at the time
of committing the offence had a guilty knowledge
that he was doing wrong.
aThe jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
`i John Barrington, aged 29, was charged with having,
together with two other persons unknown, robbed
and assaulted one James Livingstone, and stolen from
him a Bank of England note of 1001., two of 201.
tee,
each, a watch, and a bank post bill for 871.45. Bd.
Mr. Blair prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that on the night of the Bth of October,
about ten o'clock, the prosecutor was returning to his
18. residence in Bold-place, Liverpool, when he was at-
%
tacked by three men, one of whom came up to him
and chucked him under the chin ; another put his
arms round his neck and over his mouth, so as to
take his breath away, and the prisoner, having taken
his knife out, cut the prosecutor's trousers pocket,
la
and took out the notes and the watch. A day or two
after the robbery, the prisoner went to a Mrs.
ei Holmes, and asked her to take care of some money
oe for him, and she received from him 801. in gold, and
on the 21st October the prisoner took a public-house
i%
in Bronte-street, Liverpool, for which he paid a con-
siderable sum. The detective police having been put
ss
)
lbe upon the alert, took the prisoner into custody at his
sa house in Bronte-street, and on searching it they
r found, in a room at the top which was used as a
Od
% pigeon-house, 11 sovereigns loose in one of the
pigeon nests, and in a bag, which was filled with
pigeon dung, the watch of which the prosecutor had
_ been robbed was discovered. The night on which the
robbery took place was moonlight, and the prosecutor
ICG. picked out the prisoner from among a number of
others who were shown him as the man by whom he
had been robbed.
44 His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
A previous conviction for felony was then proved
• against the priscner, by which it appeared that in
• 1846 he had been convicted of felony and sentenced
to 10 years' transportation.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that the
prisoner had been convicted of a robbery, accom-
panied with the most aggravating circumstances,
being assisted by two other men of equal degree in
,%
guilt, and as it would appear, of considerable practice,
for they seized their victim in such a manner as to de-
;
.34 prive him of all power of voice and motion, and whilst
in that state riflad him of his property and then ran
away. In addition to the offence of which he had
Ise been found guilty, he had in 1846 been convicted
and sentenced to ten years' transportation, which for
some reason or other had been commuted. Under
these circumstances, his Lordship felt it his duty to
sentence him to be transported for the term of his nas
turret life,
Patrick O'Toole, aged 35, was indicted for having,
at Liverpool, feloniously and wilfully neglected to
surrender himself to the district Court of Bankruptcy.
Mr. Blair and Mr. Aspinall conducted the prose-
cution ; Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner.
The prisoner had, previously to December, 1850,
carried on business as a retail provision dealer, at
Nos. 51 and 77 in Marybone, in the borough of Liver-
pool. On the 26th of that month he was indebted to
a Mr. Bristow, a provision merchant in Liverpool, in
a large sum of money for provisions supplied to him,
and Mr. Bristow, from information he received with
regard to the prisoner's proceedings, on the 26th of
December, 1850, presented a petition to the district
Court of Bankruptcy, stating the amount of his debt,
and declaring that the prisoner had committed an ect
of bankruptcy ; an i, therefore, the prisoner was ad-
judged a bankrupt by the Commissioner, Mr. Steven-
son. A duplicate of the certificate of bankruptcy was
served on him, by being left at his last usual place of
abode, and seven days were allowed to the prisoner,
as provided by the 104th section of the Bank•
ruptcy Consolidation Act, to show cause against the
validity of such adjudication by the Commissioner. No
cause was, however, shown, or other proceedings taken
by the prisoner, and on the 21 of January, in the
present year, a notice was left at the prisoner's
premises, requiring him to appear before the District

Commissioner of Benkruple, at the Court-house, en
the 11th of January. The prisoner, however, did not
surrender, having gone to America ; nor had he since
surrendered, or applied to surrender. The usual nee
tiee of adjudication was ineerced iu the London
zetie; on the 15th of February he was proclaimed an
outlaw, and subsequently the Commissioner issued his
warrant for the prisonerie apprehension, which was
effected in the month of November last. The indict-
ment was framed under the 251st section of the 12th
and 13th Victoria, c. 106, which enacts that if any
person adjudged bankrupt shall not, upon the day
limited for his surrender, after notice thereof in writ-
ing has been personally served upon him, or left at
his last usual place of abode, and after notice given in
the London Gazette of the issuing of the fiat, or filing
of the petition for adjudication of bankruptcy
against him, as the case may be, and of the sittings
of the court, surrender himself to the court, and sub-
mit to be examined by such court from time to time,
or shall not discover his estate, or shall conceal or
embezzle any part of his estate, every such bankrupt
shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall be liable
to transportation for life, or for such term not less
than seven years as the court before which he shall be
convicted shall adjudge; or shall be liable to impri-
sonment, with or without hard labour, for any term
not exceeding three years."
Mr. TINDAL ATKINSON addressed the jury for the
prisoner, and contended that the notice which had to
be left at the last known place of abole of the bank-
rupt, as directed by the Act of Parliament, had not
been satisfactorily proved to have been served ; and,
further, that though the prisoner had left for America,
it was not shown that he absconded for the purpose of
defrauding his creditors.
His LORDSIIIP having summed up, the j ury re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence deferred.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 10.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE WALTER LEVY.
The bankrupt was a maccaroni manufacturer in
White's-row, Spitalfields. His debts are 2,1631.,
assets about 2,0001. This wes the certificate meeting.
Mr. Linklater supported; Mr. Sidney, for the assig-
nees, did not offer any opposition. Mr. Norton op-
posed on behalf of Mr. Barber, a creditor.
Mr. NORTON complained that at a meeting of his
creditors the bankrupt had not given any account of
some property of which he was the possessor, includ-
ing his household furniture.
The bankrupt, in reply, stated that at the time re-
ferred to he showed assets of 203. in the pound, and
he did not consider it necessary to mention the pro-
perty in question. It further appeared from his exa-
mination by Mr. Linklater that, having been in bu-
siness forty-nine years, and amassed a property of
2,8001., it occurred to him that he would dispose of
his business. He did so to a Mr. Lea, he (the bank-
rupt) however continuing his liability. There was a
heavy loss by his connexion with Mr. Lea, and he
again took the business into his own hands. Shortly
afterwards he had placed his affairs in the hands of
his creditors, and his assets had realised 15s. in the
pound, independently of the expenses of the court.
His HoNoun said that he should ever hold it to be
serious offence in a trader to submit an untrue state-
ment of his affairs to his creditors. But in this case
he did not consider that an offence had been com-
mitted. The statement furnished showed 203. in the
pound, and it would have been impertinent in cre-
ditors to have desired or inquired after more. There
could not have been any intention on the part of the
bankrupt to conceal frorq his creditors the possession
of his furniture. They would see at once that it was
not included in the statement furnished, and if they
had inquired the cause the answer of the bankrupt
I would probably have been, "I have not included my
furuiture, there being 203. in the pound without it."
The only circumstance that pressed adversely to the
bankrupt was, that he had continued his liability on
account of the business whilst he had substantially
parted with its control. He could not consider the
losses that had thus occurred as unavoidable, and on
that ground only the bankrupt could not receive a
certificate of the first class. It was a common prac-
tice for traders to carry on business in another name
than their own, but it was a practice that that Court
could not view with favour. It was a practice rather
that deserved reprobation. The bankrupt would re -
ceive an immediate certificate of the second class.

IN RE T. CUNDALL.
The bankrupt was a bookseller in Old Bend-stree
This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Linklater
supported.
Mr. LAITUANCE, for the assignees, gave an expla-
nation of the bankrupt's partnership with Mr. Addy.
The firm of Cundall and Addy was abundantly sol-
vent. The bankrupt's private debts were 4,0001, ;
his assets about 8001. There had been an attempted
arrangement out of court, which had aesulted in se-
veral creditors obtaining preferences, but the as-
signees did not complain, and they were willing that
the bankrupt should receive a certificafe.
Mr. Levey, a creditor, opposed in person. The
bankrupt had, he complained, been living at an extra-
vagant rate at the cost of his creditors. lie had com-
menced business in 1841, with a ()lOW of about
700/., and in 1846 he hal effected a composition of
1 Is. in the pound upon debts to the amount of 6,0001,
or 7,0001. lie had recommenced business in 1846,
with a
.capital of 431. 4,i. 1(1., and had since been
living at the rate of 4001. to 5001. a year. A sum
amounting to 1,9001. had been thus obtained at the
expsnse of his creditors. In fact, the bankrupt had
had few losses, and the deficiency had mainly arisen
from his personal expenditure. The bankrupt had,
in August, 1850, employed him (Mr. Levey) to print
a second edition of a work entitled " The Pleasure
Book," whilst the greater portion of the copies printed
of the first edition were in the hands of Messrs. Grant
and Griffiths unsold. Of the new edition 3,0C0 copies
were almost immediately deposited by the bankrupt
with Mr. Bogue, and an advance obtained thereupon.
The bankrupt had, he urged, obtained the printing of
the second edition, not for the bona fide purposes of
trade or profit, but for the purpose of raising money.
The bankrupt was examined, and stated that at the
the time of selling the first edition of the work to
Messrs. Grant and Griffiths, he had an agreement that
he should be at liberty to print a second edition in
numbers. The second edition was required, although
the first was not sold, Mr. Bogue having sold 1,500
out of the 3,000 copies placed in his hands.
His HONOUR said that the opposition resolved itself
into one objection, that the bankrupt's trade expendi-
ture alone had exceeded his profits, and that his per-
sonal expenditure had been excessive. He felt that
where the trade expenditure exceeded the profits, a
trader was not justified in drawing one penny for his
personal expenses; and on this ground the bankrupt
could not receive a certificate of the first class. With
regard to the rate of the personal expenditure, a man
living in Bond-street, and following the particular
trade of the bankrupt, was compelled to assume a per-
sonal appearance somewhat different to a tradesman
living in a back street in some parts of the City. With
respect to the allegations against the bankrupt's con-
duct in the matter of the book, he confessed he was
unable to understand it as the case had been put. He
believed it was no uncommon case for a second edition
of a work to be printed before the first edition had
been sold, and he could not see how the bankrupt had
been guilty of any fraud in the transaction. The
bankrupt might receive an immediate certificate of the
second class,

POLICE INItELLIG'ENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Charles John Prendergast, a young man who was
confidentially employed as a traveller in the firm of
Brown, Sharp, and Co., of No. 18, Watling-street,
muslin warehouseman, was brought before the Lord
Mayor by Inspector Mitchell, of the City police force,
upon the charge of having embezzled 201. 123., which
he had received from Messrs. Deverell.
The writing of the receipt was proved to be that of
the defendant, who was remanded for some days.
Inspector Scott, of the City Police, was summoned
under peculiar circumstances, by Mr. Horner, of the
firm of Horner and Co., boot and shoe manufacturers,
in Aldermanbury, under the 21 and 3d Vic., cap 71,
sec. 29, which says—" And be it enacted, that if any
goods or money charged to be stolen or fraudulently
obtained shall be in the custody of any constable, by
virtue of any warrant of a justice, or in prosecution
of any charge of felony or misdemeanour in re-
gard to the obtaining thereof, and the person
charged with stealing or obtaining possession as
aforesaid shall not be found, or shall have been
summarily convicted, or shall have been tried and ac-
quitted, or if such person shall have been found
guilty, it shall be lawful for any magistrate to make
an order for the delivery of such goods for money to
the party who shall appear to be the rightful owner,
or in case the same cannot be ascertained, then to
make such order with respect to such goods or money
as to such magistrate shall seem meet. Provided
always, that no such order shall be any bar to the
right of any person or persons to sue the party to
whom such goods or money shall be delivered, and to
recover such goods or money from him by action at
law, so that such action shall be c ommenced within
six calendar months next af'er which such order shall
be made."
The inspector pleaded not guilty, and said he bad
received the property produced, 93 pairs of boots end
6 pairs of shoes, as property which had been stolen
from the firm in Aldermanbury in September, and
found in the house of Jonas or Jones' who was ac-
quitted by the jury upon the charge of having received
the goods with a guilty knowledge.
It was proved that the goods produced formed part
of thore which had been stolen.
Finnis, the officer, said he had received information
from which he believed that he should be able to ap-
prehend a person who was charged with the robbery,
and that he had found two pairs of shoes in the house
in which he believed the thief had been concealed. He
, then produced a number of housebreaking implements,
I which he described as being of fire -,rate quality, and
