right Mathams to tell you the truth, we have been up
there, but it was a - sight too hot for us." Witness
took them. into custody, and removed them to the
terminus, where he found on one of the prisoners a purse
containing one sovereign in gold, 30s. in silver, and a
silver watch. The property was supposed to have been
stolen from the pocket of one of the railway passengers
while leaving the station. The prisoners could not give
a satisfactory account of the money, &c., found in their
possession, and witness fully believed that it had been
taken from some person.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RI MoRTI3IER.

This bankrupt was described as of the Strand, printer,
and to-day was appointed for his last examination, which
was adjourned in consequence of no accounts having been
filed. The only point in the case was on an application
on behalf of a gentleman named Darby, who had been
connected with the bankrupt in the printing, publishing•,
and eliting of the Britannia newspaper. Some diffe-
rence, however, arising between the bankrupt and the
proprietors of the paper, the bankrupt was dismissed
without due notice, and he brought an action and re-
covered 84/. damages. The question now was how
much Mr. Darby was entitled to, as the jury had not
apportioned the damages for printing and publishing,
and the subediting, which had been performed by Mr
D arby.

Mr. Lewis contended that there was no case agains
his clients, and hoped they would be discharged.
Mr. Combo (to Mathatns).—DJ you know the pri
Boners

Mathams.—No, your worship ; but I understand
they are known by other officers, and if they were to be
remanded for a few days they will b 3 identified as mem-
bers of the swell mob.

It was ultimately arranged that the amount recovered
be equally divided.

Mr. Combo—Well, they seem to know you better than
you know them.

Mr. Lewis—The prisoner; were merely walking up
the incline to the railway station, and they ought not to
have been interrupted by the officer.
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, said the prisoners were on
private property, and the officer, if he suspected them
to be thieves, and that they were there for an unlawful
purpose, he was justified in detaining them. •
Mr. Combs (to the prisoners)—l shall discharge you
this time ; but you have had a very narrow escape, and
for the future let me recommend you to go into a cooler
place or you will very soon get into trouble.
The prisoners were then discharged, and were soon
out of court without their pure and its contents, which
were handed over to Mathams the officer.

IN RE W. HART.
This bankrupt was described as of Fenchurch•street,
merchant, and to-day was appointed for choice of assig-
nees. From the preliminary statement by Messrs.
iliplinstone and Murtcn, Ironmonger-lane, it appears that
the debts are about 1,7501., and the assets in London
are about 2501., and property abroad about 1,200/. ; but
the bankrupt being pressed in consequence of not being
able to obtain returns, was compelled to petition this
Court.
Assignees were chosen.

IX RE PIIDDICOMBE.
This was a meeting for the choice of assignees under
the estate of this bankrupt, an ironmonger, of Bridge-
street, Borough.

Mr. Chidley appeared for the bankrupt, who had pe.
titioned the Court, which course bad been deemed ad.
visable for the beriefit of the creditors.

The double balloon ascent and balloon lottery attracted
a very large number of visitors to these delightful gar-
dens last evening. It is now some years since an attrac-
tion of this kind was held forth to the metropolitan pub-
he, and we believe it never was presented at Cremorne
before ; be that as it may, it is certain that the feature
was a highly successful one, and we have no doubt, upon
a repetition of it, it will be found to be one which the
public will increasingly patronise. At six o'clock the
drawing took place, an interesting girl having been se-
lected to pick out the fortunate numbers, the first of
which was claimed by a respectable mechanic, who,
with his family, came to enjoy an evening at Cremorne.
He, having no idea of aerial enjoyments, offered his good
fortune to the highest bidder. One was quickly found,
who offered a handsome sum, and was proclaimed the
rightful occupant of the vacant seat on the Prince of
Wales. For the second prize no claimant appeared, the
chance was therefore sold, and the money held in trust.
The exciting ceremony concluded the passengers took
their places, and upon a given signal the machines were
loosed from their moorings, and ascended most splendidly,
the Prince of Wales taking a right roy,sl leave of Aurora,
and showing her distinctly the way over the Swiss
mountains, which so graphically form the east ward
boundary of Cremorne. For a considerable period the
company watched and cheered the voyagers on their way
till allured by the attraction of the new billet, which
preceded the royal cirque and the pyrotechnic display,
which took place at the usual fire-work gallery, an .d
which wound up an evening of excitement and pleasure
that tells well for the after season of these delightful
gardens.

IN RR WILLSON.
This was also a meeting for choice of assignees.
Bankrupt was a painter at Kingsland.
Mr. Chidley appeared for the petitioning creditor, and
assignees were chosen, and Mr. Chidley appointed soli-
citor under the bankruptcy.

IN RE BUSH.
This bankrupt wag described as of Fenchurch-street,
merchant, and came up for his certificate, supported by
Mr. Sturgeon. There was no opposition.
His Honour granted a certificate of the third class,
