LAW INTELLIGENCE.—ahis Day.;

COURT' OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissio er Holropi.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK,-THE LAST EXAMINATI )N

MEETING.

To-day wax appointed for the last examination of the
director, of the Royal Britisi, Bank, and the Court was
crowded in the expectation that the whole of those who
were recently ccnivicted would be present, but only
Messrs. Esdaile, INPLeod, and Kennedy were brought
up, being three of the parties who had been called upon
to join i❑ making out the balance-sheet.

The general balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Coleman,
and a separate balance account by Messrs. Cooper and
Co., for Mr. Stapleton, have already been published at
length.

Mr. Linklater said this was the day appointed for the
Fist examination of the directors who had been called
upon to file the balance-sheet, and the assignee did not
consider that any further adjournment would be neces
nary, as they had arrived at a crisis with respect to the
affairs of the bank, and as far as these proceedings in
bankruptcy went, it would conclude by the diree`ors
poising their last examination, except the declaration
of the dividend. He had, however, to make some re-
marks on the balance-sheet of Mr. Stapleton, which he
considered unsatisfactory, as he bad put down a great
number of debts as doubtful when they were des-
perately bad, and others as bad since the bankruptcy,
when he must have known they were hopelessly
bad long before that time. He mentioned this,
as some of the creditors might otherwise think
that the official assignee had not exerted himself, and
that he ought to have realised a larger amount.
Mr. Freshfield, on the part of Mr. Stapleton, con-
tended that the accounts were made out from the best
information which Mr. Stapleton could obtain.
His Honour suggested that a memorandum should be
placed on the proceedings qualifying such statements.
Mr. L.nklater, after going into details, which have
already appeared at different times, announced that
the assignees would be prepared to pay a dividend of
2s. in the pound, and the official assignee expected in
a few days to pay 3s. in the pound in addition. He was
also happy to say arrangements had been come to with
respect to the Welsh mines, and that the shareholders
appeared to be willing to come forward with contribu-
tions.

After some further remarks from different gentlemen,
and his Honour complimenting Mr. Linklater for the
zeal he had displayed, the last examination was declared
to hare concluded, and the proceedings terminated.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.!
DAMAGE BY A CABMAN WHILE DRUNK. —Dani el
Flynn, a cab-driver, the number of whose badge is
2,929 and vehicle 1,640, was this morning charged
before Mr. Bingham, with being drunk last night in
Park-lane, and, losing all control over his horse in
consequence, running his cab against a job-master's
brougham, and thereby causing much damage.
Police-constable C 0.87, Moore, said he found the
defendant in Park-lane, at 11 o'clock last night drunk,
and not able to take care of himself and cab. There was
a brougham standing near, which was very much da-
maged by the defendan', as he was informed, driving
furiously against it.

Joseph Stokes, job coachman, was driving the
brougham in question in Park-lane, and saw the defen-
dant coming down in an opposite direction at a furious
rate, bet not soon enough to get out of his
way.
Witness was about crossing into Chapel-street at the
time. Hs called out to him, but defendant neither
stopped or turned off, but ran against him, running the
shaft through the apron of the brougham, and doing
other damage amounting to 71 , as estimated by Mr.
Barnes, coach-builder, of Knightsbridge.
The policeman said defendant had come into collision
with two other vehicles before.

Defendant denied that he ran against the brougham.
The case being clearly proved, be Was committed for
No months.

THAMES.

ROBBERY BI A SWEEP.—Stephen Chapman, whose
sooty appearance indicated his trade, was brought before
Mr, Stile, charged with stealing a chimney-sweeping
machine, value 41., the property of Edward Brazier, a
master chimney-sweeper, of No, 7, Plew'e.buildinge,

Bromley.
It appeared that the Prisoner had been employed by
Mr. Brazier for a fortnight previous to the 18th of last
month, on which day the prosecutor sent him out with
a sweeping machine, and directed him to cry "Sweep,
sweep," and bring home as much soot as he could. The
prisoner did not return, and was not again seen until
yesterday, when he met him in the street and asked
him where the machine was. The prisoner said he
knew where it was, but there was money lent upon it.
He was then given into custody.

Joseph Page, of No. 9, Lower East-alley, Wapping,
said the prisoner brought the machine produced to him
on the 18th of Feb , and asked him to buy it. He gave
the prisoner 6s. for the machine.

Mr. Selfe—Only 68.! Why the value of it is put
down at 4/.

Mr. Brazier—l gave 4/, for it, but I caa't say it is
worth that now.
Mr. Selfe—l should think so.
A second charge of a precisely similar description was
stated by a master chimney-sweeper, who had intrusted
the prisoner with a machine.
Mr. Selfe—ls the second machine forthcoming I
A police-constable replied in the negative, and said he
knew where it was.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Selfe sentenced
him to three monthhi imprisonment and hard labour.
