LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
TIE ROYAL BRITISH BANE.-DISMISSAL OF THE SUMMONS

AGAINST MR. HARDING, THE OFFICIAL MANAGER.

Mr. Linklater, the solicitor in bankruptcy in this case,
applied to his Honour to dismiss the summons against
Mr. Harding, for obstructing the messenger (Mr. John-
stone) in the execution of his duty as an officer of this
court. Mr. Linklater said that in order to avoid a con-
flint between the two Courts, it had been agreed that
the messenger should be withdrawn. He said that it
was entirely untrue that there had been any unseemly
contest between the messenger and Mr. Harding, who
had behaved with all the courtesy he could in the exer •
else of his duties. It was also to be understood that
the summons for contempt of the Court of Chancery all
parties would make an effort to facilitate the question
of adjudication.
The summons was therefore dismissed.

The case was heard in a private room.

bridge•road, boot and shoe manufacturers, and to-d ay

day.

Mr. Beard now appeared on behalf of Bainbridge, who
has now surrendered, and applied for a further adjourn_
ment, to enable Mr. Johnson to complete Bainbridge's
accounts.
The application was granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT BY A CABlf AN.—Charles
Isrsey, a eab-driver, badge No. 11,362, was charged
before Mr. Beadon, with violently assaulting Mr. Thos.
Steplings, No. 26, Cloudeslerstreet, Islington.
The complainant stated that about half:past one this
morning he got into the defendant's cab, and told him
to drive to Cloudesley-street. The defendant, instead
of going the direct way, proceeded towards the Marble-
arch, when witness stopped him and informed him of
his error. He turned round and went on very well until
he got to the end of Oxford-street, near Tottenham-
court-road, when he again pulled up and demanded to
know where he was going to. Witness then observed
that the prisoner was drunk, and at once got out of his
cab. Witness immediately jumped off his box, seized
him by the throat and attempted to throw him on his
back, but finding he could not succeed in his attempt
he laid hold of the skirts of his greatcoat and tore it all
to pieces. Complainant held him until a police-con-
stable arrived, when he gave him in charge.
The prisoner, in answer to the oharge, said he was
very sorry for what had occurred. He had been twelve
years a cabman, and never had a complaint against him
before.

Mr. Beadon said this was one of the worst cases that
ever came before him. Defendant was evideatly unfit
to be trusted with a licence ; and to mark his opinion of
such conduct as defendant had been guilty of, he (Mr.
Beadon) should commit him to the House of Correction
for a month.
