of him with the property in his possession, when
another man came up to witness and said, " let the man
go as 'ou have got your leather." Witness said he
should not let him go, when that man caught hold of
him by the neck, and nearly throttled him, so that he
was compelled to let go his hold. The prisoner was,
however, pursued and taken into custody, but his com-
panion escaped. The leather produced, and found in
the prisoner's possession was the property of his employer,

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE RIGNEY.

This bankrupt was described as of Brighton, printer,
and to•day was appointed for his last examination.
Mr. Chidley, for the bankrupt, applied for an adjourn-
ment. He said that the bankrupt was doing that which
was not very usual—that was, making out his own
balance-sheet without the assistance of an accountant,
and had no doubt it would be satisfactory.
His Honour said it was unusual, but commendable,
and granted the application.

and he saw it safe in the yard a minute or two before he
left to go to his dinner.

Police-constable 224 M said that on the previous
afternoon he heard cries of "Stop Thief " proceed from
Huntenstreet, and on going there he met the prisoner,
followed by several persons. Witness stopped him,
when he said, "Don't stop me, as I am after the thief."

He however kept hold of him until Mr. Harper came up
and gave him into custody. . . .

The prisoner here said that he did not steal the leather.
He was a leather dresser, and when passing down
Hunter-street he saw a man pass him with some leather
under his arm. He called out to him, "There's nothing
like leather ;" when the man said, "No, there's not ;
carry this for me into the Borough, and I'll pay you for
it." He accordingly consented, and as soon as Mr.
Harper came up he ran away, leaving him with the lea-
ther. He also, of course, attempted to get away, as he
was not a thief.
