OP CERTIFICATE,

This bankrupt was formerly lessee of the Strand Theatre,
and bankrupt as a bookseller, and he now came up to apply
for his certificate, supported by Mr. Warrand, Basinghall-
street, and opposed by Mr. Savile, on behalf of Mr. Levy,
the principal creditor, on the ground that the bankruptcy
had been concerted, and that there were no assets. It ap-
peared that the bankrupt, being in difficulties, was obliged
to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act, or to apply to this
court; it did not appear advisable for hint to apply
to the Insolvent Court as he would be under the
necessity of suffering imprisonment, and he would not
come before this court on his o\vn petition, as he had not
got £l5O, or, in fact, any thing to deposit, and therefore he
was made bankrupt by Mr. Buckingham, the stage
manager, on a debt of £152 ; but the only assets given up
were £l5 bad debts, and even the messenger's fees were
paid, as Mr. Buckingham, on being applied to, produced
his.protection from the Insolvent Court.

Mr. Warrand briefly addressed the Court, when
His Honour referred to the report "Re Sellers," often
quoted, and said that on that authority he felt bound to
refuse the certificate.

of the tribe, about three miles from Swansea. The coffin
was mounted in a farmer's cart, with the end sticking out
over the front; the bier plade I on the top of it, and a few
women wedged in all around, one of whom very roman-
tically fainted when she got in sight of the churchyard.
About 70 men and women followed, all Irish. The Rev.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE, Dec. 10.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
THE MURDER AT DOVER. •
Joseph Blackwell, described as a greengrocer,
aged 38, was indicted for the wilful murder of
Richard Welsh, by striking him on the neck with
a poker, at the parish of St. Mary the Virgin,
Dover. The prisoner was also arraigned upon the
coroner's inquisition for the offence of manslaughter.
The death of the deceased, who was a private in
the 60th Rifles, was occasioned by the injuries he
received during a drunken quarrel.
The jury, after a very short deliberation, acquitted
the prisoner of the crime of wilful murder, but
found him guilty of manslaughter.
The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said, it
appeared to him that the jury could not have re-
turned any other verdict than the one they had,
for, although he had undoubtedly received a good
deal of provocation, still his conduct in arming him-
self with a poker and following the deceased
when he was trying to get away and the matter was
at an end, and then inflicting deadly injury upon
him, was quite unjustifiable, and he had been very
properly convicted of the crime of manslaughter.
His lordship then observed upon some other facts
in the case, and concluded by sentencing the pri-
soner to be kept to hard labour for 12 months.

EXETER, Dec. 10.
(Before Mr. Justice )3.3,:1e5.)

Eliza Murray was indicted for- bigamy.
Mr. Lopes. prosecuted, and Mr. Carter defended
he prisoner.

The second marriage was clearly proved, but it
was further shown that the first husband of the
prisoner had most brutally treated her. He had
b: en frequently before the magistrates for assault-
ing her, and on one occasion he had been impri-
soned for six months. He had kept her without
food, and had neglected his children. In one in-
stance he had been fined 50s. for an assault upon
the police, and she had contrived to raise the
money and paid the fine.
The learned Judge told the jury that the offence
was clearly proved, and it would be for the Court
to award the punishment.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom-
mended her to mercy.
. • The learned Judge said the prisoner had most
undoubtedly offended against the law of the land,
and it was quite clear that that must be followed
by some sentence; but he had seldom witnessed a
more distressing case, and he could not help feeling
that she stood there an object of great commisera- I

THE PROPERTY OF DESERTED MARRIED
WOMF.Y.

On Monday next the following provision in the
Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act (the 20th
and 21st of Victoria, cap, 85) will come into ope-
ration with respect to the property and earnings of
deserted married women. Section 21—" A wife
deserted by her husband may at any time after
such desertion) if I:eisident withia the metropolitan
distre.t, apply to a police magistrate, or if resident
in the country to justices in petty session, or in
either case to the Court, for an order to protect any
money or property she may become possessed of,
after such desertion, against her husband or his
creditors, or any person claiming under him, and
such magistrate or justices or Court, if satisfied of
the fact of such desertion, and that the same was
without reasonable cause, and that the wife is main-
taining her-elf by her own industry or property,
may make and give to the wife an order protecting
her earnings and property acquired since the com-
mencement of such desertion from her husband, and
all creditors and persons claiming under him, and
such earnings and property shall belong to the wife
as if she were a femme sole ; provided always that
every such order, if made by a police magistrate,
or justices at petty sessions, shall within ten days
after the making thereof be entered with the regis-
trar of the county court within whose jurisdiction
the wife is resident, and bat it shall be lawful for
the husband and any creditor or other person
claiming under him to apply to the Court, or to
the magiatrate or justices by whom such order
was made, for the discharge ; provided also
that if the husband or any creditor of a person
claiming under the husband shall seize or continue
to hold any property of the wife after notice of any
such order he shag be liable at the suit of the wife
(which she is hereby empowered to bring) to re-
store the specific prop rty, and also for a sum
equal to double the value of the property so seized
or held after such notice as aforesaid. If any such
order c f protection be made, the wife shall, during
the continuance thereof, be and be deemed to have
been, during such desertion of her, in the like
position in all respects with regard to property and
contracts, and suing and being sued, as she would
be under this act if she obtained a decree of judicial
separation.

been exercised in the elections, it had been on the
part of ti e prefects, mayors, judges, and carabi-
neeers. He opposed inquiry, as being insulting
towards the clergy, degrading to the electors, and
altogether useless. Moral pressure must ever elude
inquiry. He would like to see the house set an
example of tolerance. In Belgium the scrutiny of
the new elections had lasted only two days. Why
should they require several weeks ?
M. BROFFERIO said he did not desire to irritate
the priesthood, but to control it. He was glad that
the clergy had returned their partisans, for the fact
had aroused the country from its lethargy and
forced the ministry to march in the path of progress.
The clergy had abused the name of heaven and the
authority of the gospel to weigh upon the elections,
a•id had endeavoured to es' ablish a theocracy. in the
country. The conduct of the priests brought them
the purview of the Civil Code, articles
1,196 and 1,199, against violence and threats to
intimidate electors. He concluded by an impas-
sioned appeal to the ministry to put itself at tbe
head of the movement against the action of the
clergy.

Alter a few words from Canon Soggiu, the de-
bate adjourned.
A telegram from Turin states that a motion of
Count Cavour's, for an inquiry into the conduct of
the clergy during the late election was carried by
a large majority-88 votes against 35.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

WES ['MINSTER.

SINGULAR AFFAIR.—Thowa3 Turner and Ann Tunn. er,
husband and wife, were charged as follows :
The police stated that some time ago the defendants
owed rent at a house in Charlwood-place, and left with-
out paying it, In consequence of a request from the
landlord the house was marked, in order that defendants
might not enter. What folio ws upon this was proved as
under.

Police-constable 1808 said—Thh mozning ata quarter-
past one I was on duty in Warwick-street, and saw a
brother constable looking atter the was defendant. I
joined him, and we went and eximined the dcor and
found the mark removed. Defendant came back and
opened the door with a key. I asked what he wanted,
and he said he was going after some things. I said it was
a curious time to look after things, and he said, " My
wife's coming—she'll talk to you." The female then
made her appearance, and the husband having told her
that the police would not let him go in, she said, " Won't
he, the b—, and I help to keep him," and she struck
me in the mouth, which bled very much, and she fell
down. I took her into custody, when the husband
assaulted me by punching me iu the ribs, and rescued
his wife. He was sober, but she could not stand for
drink.

Police-constable 49 B sa;d--Shortly before the above
occurrence I missed the mark from the door which I had
been in the habit of watching, I entered the house, and
saw the male defendant lying on the floor in the
parlour. He said he lived there, when, upon my
remarking that it wes false, he observed, " I did live
here." He then went out. He told me he was working
there. I then said, "It's a strange time for people to
come to work," when, saying he would f,teh his a ife,
he went away, and what his brother constable had
proved took place.
The female said that her husband was at work there.
She was a washerwoman, and had put some of her
linen there to be safe. There was also a large quintity
of soap and soda. She never struck the policeman, but
he hit her in the eye and knocked her down. She was
perfectly sober.

The sergeant who took the charge having proved that
when brought to the station she was much the worse
for liquor,
Elizabeth Davis, a widow, said she was waiting with
Mrs. Turner, in Warwick-street, while !Ir. Turner
went to get some linen out of the house. Finding that
he was a long time gone, they went to Charles-place,
and met Mr. Turner. He told her that the police would
not let him in, when she said, "Oh, indeed !" and put
her step on the door, when {slice constable 180 delibe-
rately knocked her down ; she never struck him. Tue
constable cross-examined her, but failed to shake her
evidence.

Mr. Arnold said he had nothing to do with their
going to the house, and he had no doubt the police did
light in refusing him admittance, but the witness Davis
had put a very different face upon the matter. He
should take the surety in 101. for their appearances
next Friday.
London, England, 1858-01-05

I LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 5, 1858.

The dreaded 4tll of January has passed over in
a much better way than wasgenerally anticipated.
The acceptances falling due were very fairly met
—indeed, the average was just as good as in ordi-
nary times. But what sacrifices must the parties
have made to preserve the honour of their names?
None can know the intensity of the struggle, and

the magnitude of the losses sustained_ in the

struggle—losses that may cripple the sufferers,
and so reduce their powers as to make them
amongst the earliest ♦ictims of the next Crisis,
which, if the Act of 1844 is to be maintained
without change or modification, will most
assuredly arrive, and that in less than ten
years. Thai. hard calculators have ascertained
the enormoifY profits that may be realised
from a panic. They see the mode in which it
may be produced, and will undoubtedly resort
thereto whenever a suitable opportunity may oc-
our. Let the people look to it in time, they are
fully warned ; and if the terrible lesson they have
endured should be forgotten or disregarded on a
temporary improvement, their case will indeed be
hopeless, and they will only have themselves to
blame for the results, however untoward they
may be !

The year 1858 has thus been favourably luau
gnrated, and we may anticipate an auspicious sea-
son for the industrial community. The hard cal-
culators have brought out their secret hordes,
and there will, of course, 1.
-e money in
abundance, not only for the lecitimate
requirements of trade arid commerce, 'but alio
for wild speculations. The Government letter,
which for the second time " virtually condemned
and abrogated the Act of 1844," again saved the
country. The sufferings were more intense, and
the period of suspense more protracted, because
the Government waited longer before affording
the necessary relief, and made the conditions on
which it was granted far more stringent than in
1847. In that year 8 per cent, only was required,
and that at the time of issuing the letter—the
rate of discount having been previously by no
means nnteasonable—but on the late occasion
commerce had been for some time groaning under
7,8, and even 10 per, cent .; and the latter rate was
vantinued, until the Bank—for whose sole benefit
the relaxation was granted—Lad retrieved its
position, and was placed in a position of perfect
ease and security. We now know that the Bank
must otherwise have stopped payment before the
end of the week ; indeed, it is more than probable
that a single day would have decided the question,
and that the note would have been rendered
inconvertible by the very means adopted t) ensure
ita convertibility.
There were no such dangers in France. The
Directors were permitted to exercise their own

SWITZERLAND.

A Berne letter says :
"A kind of manifestation, which hitherto has
been only seen in Switzerland for political causes,
has just taken place at Geneva, relative to .the
present financial crisis. A placard, emanating
from citizens belonging, for the most part, to the
manufacturing classes, convoked a public meeting
for Dec. 29 at a place called the Coulouvreniore,
and at the appointed hour a compact crowd filled
the room. No member of the Council of State
was present. M. James Fazy was unwell • but
even were he in good health it is likely that he
would not have attended. The question of the
prest.nt crisis was discussed with the utmost
calm. The meeting, which consisted of about
1,500 persons, listened with the grestest attention
and interest to the speeches of several persons
who endeavoured to show that the position of the.
manufacturers in Geneva called for exceptional
measures to ward off the effects of the crisis. A
proposition, emanating from MM. Perrier and
Corsat, t,, have a commission appointed consisting
of delegates from the various corporations of work-
men, and charged to examine what ought to be
done in present circumstances, was adopted by an
immense majority. Although the Revue de Geneve
speaks in terms of approval of the manifestation, it
is not very probable that the Council of State will
permit 'icy transformation of the public institutions
of credit now existing into banks where the work-
men might obtain the resources of which they are
temporarily in need. Such a remedy, somewhat
revolutionary in character, would present consider.
able danger, inasmuch as the capital of these insti-
tutions, such as, for instance, the Mortgage Bank)
have fixed employments."
London, England, 1858-01-05

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

WESTMINSTER.

SINGULAR AFFAIR.—Thomas Turnerand Ann Turner,
husband and wife, were charged as follows :
The police stated that some time ago the defendants
owed rent at a house in Charlwood•place, and left with-
oat paying it. In con: equence of a request from the
landlord the house was marked, in order that defendants
might not enter. What follows upon this was proved as
under.

Police-constable 1808 said—This morning at a quarter-
past one I was on duty in Warwick-street, and saw a
brother constable looking after the male defendant. I
joined him, and we went and examined the door and
found the mark removed. Defendant came back and
opened the door with a key. I asked what he wanted,
and he said he was going after some things. I said it was
a curious time to look after things, and he said, " My
wife's coming—she'll talk to you." The female then
made her appearance, and the husband having told her
that the police would not let him go in, she said, •' Won't
he, the b—, and I help to keep him," and she struck
me in the mouth, which bled very much, and she fell
down. I took her into custody, when the husband
assaulted me by punching me in the ribs, and rescued
his wife. He was sober, but she could not stand for
drink.

Police-constable 49 B said—Shortly before the above
occurrence I missed the mark from the door which I had
been in the habit of watching, I entered the house, and
saw the male defendant lying on the floor in the
parlour. He said he lived there, when, upon my
remarking that it woe false, he observed, "I did live
here." He then went out. He told me he was working
there. I then said, "It's a strange time for people to
come to work," when, saying be would fetch his wife,
he went away, and what his brother constable had
proved took place.
The female said that her husband was at work there.
She was a washerwoman, and had put some of her
linen there to be safe. There was als ) a large quantity
of soap and soda. She never struck the policetnan, but
he hit her in the eye and knocked her down. She was
perfectly sober.
The sergeant who took the charge having proved that
when brought to the station she was much the worse
for liquor,
Elizabeth Davis, a widow, said she was waiting with
Mrs. Turner, in Warwick-street, while Mr. Turner
went to get some linen out of the house. Finding that
he was a long time gone, they went to Charles-place,
and met Mr. Turner. He told her that the police would
not let him in, when she said, " Oh, indeed !" and put
her step on the door, when p dice constable 180 delibe-
rately knocked her down ; she never struck him. Tor
constable cross-examined her, but failed to shake her
evidence.

Mr. Arnold said he had nothing to do with their
going to the house, and he had no doubt the police did
right in refusing him admit'ance, but the witness Davis
had put a very different face upon the matter. He
should take the surety in 101. for their appearances
next Friday.
