His Honour this morning gave judgment on the ques-
tion of certificate in the case of this bankrupt, a surgeon
and apothecary, in Old-street. The case has been fre-
quently before the court, and his Honour refused to allow
the bankrupt to pass his examination on the ground of
fraud. The bankrupt appealed to the Lords Justices, who
made an order permitting him to do so, leaving the whole
question open for the decision of the learned commissioner
on the question of certificate. The main charge against
the bankrupt was that ho had lent his name to a person
named Sumners, an uncertificated bankrupt. Bankrupt's
name was used, and goods were obtained fraudulently. His
Honour had come to the conclusion that the bankrupt
had committed a gross fraud, and therefore wholly refused
the certificate.

Mr. C. Lewis applied for protection, in order that the
bankrupt might have an opportunity of appealing.
Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, objected, unless the
solicitor to the bankrupt undertook that the bankrupt should
appear and prosecute the appeal ; the Lords Justices had
so held in a case where two bankrupts absconded.
Mr. Lewis said that he could not give any personal
undertaking; the pressure would be on the wrong point.
Mr. Linklater said ho had, in a previous case, been asked
to give one, but he declined.

Mr. Lewis hoped the Commissioner would stay tke cer-
tificate authorising the bankrupt's arrest.

His Honour said, after all he had hoard, ho should do no
more than refuse the certificate.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
GOODS BY RAILWAY-IMPORTANT .7UDOMENT--GAINB9 U.

lIOLFORD.

This was a claim for the damage of certain oil casks.
Plaintiff's charges, including those of the railway corn-
piny, wore £2 Bs. 71., and defendant had paid into court
£2 Os. 7d., pleading never indebted as to the rest.

It appeared that defendant, wllc. is va
cooper, had pur-
chased at a government sale a quantity of casks at Chatham,
and plaintiff, who is a carrier, had the job to convey them
to London by railway and his own vehicles. Now plain-
tiff had declared the weight of these casks to be 25 cwt.,
and the railway company had charged accordingly. Upon
arrival in London, however, it was ascertained that the
goods weighed about 31 cwt., and defendant was charged
accordingly.

His Honow askod plaintiff if the railway company had
been paid ?

Plaintiff—Yes ; the account in which these goods aro
included is closed. It is not likely it will be opened again,
but the company could come upon me.
Mr. H. F. Wood, for the defendant, urged that defendant
was not bound to pay more than was charged by the rail-
way company. Plaintiff suffered no loss, and it would be
hard, indeed, if one carrier could pay for one weight at the
railway and charge the consignee another.
A clerk from the goods department of the railway com-
pany attended with—the returns. The oil casks mentioned
wore declared at 25 cwt. The account had been closed, and
witness did not think it would be opened again. The com-
pany did not always weigh goods. As a rule, they did,
but various goods were passed at the declared weight.
Defendant was called and said he had a knowledge of
casks, and did not think those, the subject of the dispute
to-day, weighed so much as plaintiff had stated.
Plaintiff assured his Honour that he was liable to be
charged by the company.

His Honour said that the plaintiff in this case was a highly
respectable man, ani therefore no imputation would rest
upon him from the remarks about to follow. If such a
course as the present was followed, a wide field of fraud
upon railway companies would be opened. It was not to
be supposed that a party could declare the weight of goods
at the railway, and pay for such declared weight, and then
charge the consignee a larger weight. Upon plaintiff's own
evidenee defendant must have a verdict with costa.

POLICE INTELLIGENVE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT BY ITALIAN ORGAN GRINDERS.—TWO Italian
organ-grinders, living in the neighbourhood of Saffron-
hill, named Giovanni Cassell. and Luigi Masai, were
charged with violently assaulting two hackney carriage
attendants with the poles on which they rest their organs.
From the evidence of Charles Chamberlain, hackney
carriage attendant, No. 80, it appeared he was passing
along Oxford-street at a very early hour that morning, in
company with Ford, another attendant, No. 60, when he
observed the prisoners quarrelling with another man, and
striking their poles with great violence on the ground,
and in order to avoid them got into the road and passed
on, and no sooner had he done so than Giovanni turned
and aimed a violent blow at his head with his pole, which
he avoided by stepping back Into the road again. Giovanni
aimed a second blow at him, and this time he warded it off
by receiving it on his arm, causing him severe pain. The
other prisoner, Luigi, then struck Ford with his pole. A
woman also complained of being struck by the prisoners.
The prisoners said they were struck first, but this was
denied, and it was also stated that they were intoxicated.
Mr. Bingham said, if they had been Englishmen, he
should have fined them 205., or ten days, but as they were
foreigners, and did not know the strength of our liquors,
he should fine them 10s., or seven days each.

The Indian despatches, consisting of 27 boxes,
left Dover at two o'clock this morning, and the letters will
be delivered this day.
The amount of specie that will be taken for the
East by the outgoing steamer on Monday is £224,891, of
which £1,050 is gold for Alexandria, £14.855 gold and
£90,845 silver for India, and £5,000 gold and £113,142
silver for China and the Straits. Included in the latter
amount is a Government remittance of £27,669 to Hong-
Kong.

LivEnrooL—FEß. 17.

We had a slender attendance of millers and dealers at
market this morning, and wheat met a moderate consump-
tive demand at no improvement in our quotations of last
Tuesday. Flour was rather in limited request, but not
lower. Oats and oatmeal a slow sale, and both were un-
changed in price. Barley, beans, and peas were as last
quoted. The amount of business transacted in Indian
corn was moderate at 6d less money.
