IN RE BARNETT.

This bankrupt was described as of Ramsgate, jeweller,
and this was a meeting for proof of debts and choice of
assignees.

Mr. Philp Bucklersbury appeared for the petitioning
creditor, and assignees were chosen pro forma, as it
was understood that the bankruptcy would be super-
seded on the part of the bankrupt, an arrangement to
that effect being pending.

THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY

FRAUDS.

EXAMINATION OF KENT.

CLEniumwELL—This morning James Charles Comyns
,Cent was placed at the bar, before Mr. Corrie, for fur-
ther examination, charged with being concerned with
Leopold Redpath, now in custody, with fraud on the
Great Northern Railway, t 3 a large extent. The pri
soner, who is a tall thin young man, with round pale
features, black hair, and no whiskers, walked briskly
into the dock, and assumed great confidence during the
whole of the proceedings.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and
was accompanied by Mr. Mowatt, secretary to the
Great Northers Railway Company. Mr. Dodd, of New
Broad-street, appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Humphreys said it would be in the recollection
of the Court that he attended here on Tuesday last,
with some of the officials of the Great Northern Rail-
way Company, and obtained a warrant for the appre
pension of a person named Leopold Redpath. That
warrant was placed in the hands of the police, but be•
fore they had time to execute it the prisoner at the bar
was apprehended on the charge of being concerned
with Redpath in the frauds he bad committed on

the company, and be: was brought before Mr. Tyrwbitt
and remanded for a week, it being believed then that
Redpath would not have been in custody so soon, and
that both might have been placed at the bar together
this day. Redpath was, however, apprehended in
London and not in Paris, as it was expected, and he
was on Friday brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and re-
manded till Friday next. He (Mr. Humphreys) had
consulted with Mr. Dodd, the prisoner's solicitor, and
they had arranged, with the magistrate's permis-
sion, to make this a formal examination, and that
the prisoner should be remanded till Friday,
and then be brought up with Redpath before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, who was in possession of the facts that
had been proved against the prisoners. The examina-
tion of Kent, on a former occasion, took place privately
at his (Mr. Humphreys) request, from a conviction that
a publication of the evidence at the time in the news-
papers would have defeated the ends of justice, and sub•
sequent events tend to show that in all probability that
would have been the case had it been published that
day. His application was that the prisoner be remanded
till Friday, when Redpath would appear at the bar with

Mr. Dodd, on the part of the prisoner, said he had
no objection to the course proposed.
Mr. Corrie concurred, and the prisoner was remanded
till Friday.
Mr. Dodd asked the magistrate to order that a gold
watch, chain, &c., and other articles of value found on
the prisoner Kent, when he Was apprehended, should be
given up to him for the purpose of enabling him to pre.
pare his defence.
Mr. Humphreys said there was no objection whatever
to its being done.
Mr. Corrie directed that the property should be given
up.

The prisoner was accordingly remanded. He then
walked briskly out of the dock and was afterwards con-
veyed to the Middlesex House of Correction.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day).

THAMES.
THE VALUE OF A TOOTH.—Joseph, Temple, a rough.
looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged
with assaulting Catherine Mahony, servant at the Red
Cross public.house, in Upper East Smithfield.
The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner came into her
master's house last night very drunk, and he became
noisy and troublesome. She gave him a little shrub,
and got him out of the house quietly, and walked with
him a little distance. She then returned to her master's
house, and was closing the door to prevent any one
entering again, when the prisoner returned, and forced
his way in again. She tried to get him out again,
when he struck her a violent blow with his
fist on the month, and loosened one of her
teeth, which she intended on her way home from the
court to be extracted by a dentist.
Mr. Selfe—What do you say to this, Temple
Prisoner—l was very tipsy indeed, or I would no t
have done it.

Mr. Selfe—You must pay the dentist's bill, that is
the least you can do.
Prisoner—l will do that, sir.

Mr. Selfe—You must pay 103. for her tooth ; it is
worth that.

The prisoner said he would borrow 103. in Thames-
street, a,d pay it to the complainant.
Mr. Selfe—Will you trust him, Catherine ?
Complainant—Yes, sir; I know him well. I believe
he will pay me les. for my tooth.

Mr. Selfe —You hear what she says. Now, go to
Thames street and get the 10s. for her. If you pay her
I shall think better of you than I do now.

AN ABANDONED SHIP FOUND ON THE GDDLEII SANDS.
—THE CAPTAIN ON BOARD DEAD .—WRITSTABLE Mon-
day.--Yesterday, about two o'
clock, a small Danish
vessel, brigantine rigged, of 130 tons burthen, laden with
a cargo of grain, in bulk, from St. Petersburg for Lon-
don, was brought in here by the crew of the smack Pros.
perous, of this pert, Capt. Bell. She was found a dere-
lict on the Gudler Sands early the previous morning,
having been abandoned by her erew. The rudder was
gone, and it was believed that the crew had taken to
the galley-boat, and then forsaken the vessel. Some
time after the salvors had boarded her they found the
dead body of the captain (as they supposed) in a bunk
in the after cabin. It was carefully packed, as if to
prevent its rolling, and blood was oozing from the
mouth, though it was the impression of a medical
gentleman present (Mr. Williams) that the deceased
must have been dead some days. Lloyd's agent, the
collector of Admiralty droits (Mr. Reeves), and several
officers connected with the Customs, were quickly on
board, and took possession of the charts, chronometer
it ,
&c. From the papers appeared that the captain's
name was Wulff. The body was taken ashore, and to-
day Mr. T. T. Delasaux held an inquest on it at the
Victoria Inn, when evidence corroborative of the above
facts was adduced, and the jury returned a verdict of
found dead. There were no marks of Violence of
