LA TV INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
INSOLVENCY AND COUNTY COURT JURISDICTION.

SENLON V. RAWDON.

Mr. Gay appeared for the plaintiff. This was a judg-
ment summons, but defendant pleaded his discharge from
the Insolvent Court.

The facts of the case are rather peculiar. It appears
that when the first summons was taken out defendant was
in course of passing through the court, and he did not
obtain his final discharge until the present summons was
taken out. Defendant now produced his discharge.
Mr. Gay called upon his Honour to commit the man.
His Honour did not know what to do. If I commit this
man he will be discharged from prison by the Insolvent
Commissioners. Besides, can I commit him ?

Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street—The County Courts
cannot. An Act of Parliament of 18.56. deprived them of
the power, but was not extended to this court. There is no
doubt that your Honoui has the power to commit, but there
is also no doubt that he will be discharged from prison.
His Honour—Let the plaintiff follow out the case. Will
he promise to bring an action against the officer of the
prison for discharging hiM prisoner, and then the matter
will be settled. I don't like to send persons to prison, and
then have them discharged by the Commissioner. I don't
wish to clash with the other court.

Mr. Buchanan—You can send him, but upon application
he will be discharged. I myself have obtained the release
of two or three persons, as your Honour knows.
His Honour (to plaintiff).--Cannot you manage to settle
with complainant ?

Plaintiff—lt is for money lent, 178. 2d., and I will
take it at 3d. per week.

Defendant—l will pay nothing ; I have my discharge,
and I don't see why I should be called upon to pay.
His Honour—Well, shall I make a fresh order for la.
per month ?
Mr. Buchanan—But you cannot enforce it.
Plaintiff—He ought to pay me.

His Honour—Under all the circumstances, I do not
know whether the Commissioner would discharge the de-
fendant. lam in doubt whether I am not compelled by
the act to commit. If I have the power I ought to do so. At
all events I'll commit defendant for seven days, and let the
order lie in the office one month.

THE CLOTHMAKERS' COMPANY Y. NORVEL AND ANOTHER

.-MISAPPLICATION OF TRUST-MONEY.

This was an action to recover the sum of £5O due upon
a bond to that amount, given by the defendant to a person
named Payne.
Defendant stated that he borrowed the money for his
son-in-law, who was in difficulties.
His Honour—Then I say it is a gross misapplication of
the money. This money is trust-money, and was intended
to be lent out to respectable young tradesmen to set them
up in business. It was never intended to be applied in
this way. It is a very awkward affair. (To plaintiffs'
attorney)—You would not have lent the money had yon
known this ?

Attorney—Certainly not.
His Honour—Well, the money was lent and must be

paid.

Verdict for the plaintiffs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.(77iis Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

" TIIE SETTLING DAY."—Sophia Cox, a stout female of
middle stature, was charged with stealing a purse contain-
ing money from the person of John Tupping, a servant out
of place, and who had previously been charged with being
drunk.

Robert Hodgson, 39, Marshall-street, Soho, said that
on the previous afternoon he saw the prosecutor, who was
in a state of intoxication, in company with the prisoner and
two men, one of whom was demanding a sovereign of him,
and as he refused the man knocked him (prosecutor) down.
He saw the woman thrust her hand into the prosecutor's
pocket, and then saw that she had two purses in her hand.
The men who had walked off then got hold of the prosecutor
again, and in his (witness's) endeavours to prevent the
prosecutor being robbed he received a violent kick in
the chest. He felt certain, if he had not interfered,
he would have been ill treated by them. He spoke to
Sergeant Jeats, and the prosecutor was taken to the station
for protection, and the female in consequence of what he
had seen her do.

Inspector Parke said when the prosecutor was brought
to the station-house he was very drunk, and £3l was taken
from him for safety.
Prosecutor said the woman was a little known to him.
The money found on him was the produce of a bet. He
had taken 25 to 5 about Melissa, and yesterday was the

" settling day." He could not have been robbed of a purse,
for he had none. He carried hiE sovereigns loose in his
pocket.

Mr. Beadon—As soon as you got your money you went
about all day getting drunk.
Prosecutor—Yes; I did not know what I was about. It
was settling day.

Mr. Beadon said the evidence being very unsatisfactory
she must be discharged.

THAMES.

APPLICATION FOR SEAMENS' WAGES.—Yesterday morn-
ing, Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, and his clerk, Mr. Davis,
applied at this court to Mr. Selfe for summonses against
Capt. Pavey, the master of the ship Baruttojum, which
had made a voyage to Rangoon. Mr. Smith said there
was a pending bankruptcy, and the summonses were re-
quired by the men to obtain payment of their wages,
amounting in the aggregate to £5OO.
Mr. Selfe, in granting the summonses, said he hoped the
men would be paid, and that there would be no occasion to
hear the summonses.

It was announced this morning that the whole of the
wages had been paid at Capt. Dunlop's shipping-office, in
the West India-road, Limehouse. The seamen had been
paid every farthing due to thorn.

Mr. Selfe was very glad to hear of this termination of
Le case.

TEE DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL C.Arsr•.s ACT.—Mr.
Charles Young, solicitor, applied to Mr. &lie for an order
to protect the property, goods, chattels, and effects of Mrs.
Jane Brazer, a highly respectable lady, residing at No. 30,
Moira-place, Railway-street, Poplar New Town, where she
carried on a successful business as a milliner and dress-
maker.

Mr. Young stated that Mrs. Brazer was married to her
husband on the 22d of May, 1853 ; that her husband sub-
sequently deserted her for about four months, and that on
the 22d of July, 1856, he abandoned his home, and she had
not seenhim since. She believed he was at the present time in
North Wales, cohabiting with a female. Mrs. Brazerhad ac-
quired some property by her own industry and integrity, and
wished to be protected from any claim which her husband
might hereafter make upon her. The fruits of her industry
and perseverance ought to be protected.
Mrs. Brazer, having been sworn, and deposed to the facts
stated by Mr. Young, and the certificate of marriage put
in, the magistrate granted the order prayed for.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were very
moderate, and the show of samples of both red and white
was limited.? For all kinds, however, we experienced a slow
inquiry, but without leading to any change .in the quota-
tions compared with Monday.
The fresh imports of foreign wheat are only 2250 qrs ;
but the show of granaried parcels was extensive. Even the
finest qualities moved off slowly. In prices, however, no
change took place. Floating cargoes of grain, off Fal-
mouth, were a slow inquiry.
Very little English barley was on offer, but the show of
foreign was tolerably good. The trade ruled steady, at
extreme rates, very fine English parcels having realised
44s per qr.
Malt, the supply of which was only moderate, sold at
full quotations, but the demand was by no means active.
Oats, beans, and peas changed hands to a fair extent,
at
extreme rales. In flour only a limited business was passing.
