LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Register Murray.)
IN RE T. w. S. MILES.
This bankrupt was described as au officer in the
13th Hussars, now stationed at Toronto, Canada.
A trade debtor summons had been taken cut against
the bankrupt upon a previous occasion, and upon
that he had been adjudicated. No documents were
filed, and after some formal proof the case stood
over until a future day.

SUERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. F. Gibbons.)
PLATO W V. PRINDELL.

This was an action upon a guarantee, defendant,
for whom Mr. Vann appeared, having signed a
written paper, under which he agreed to become
security for a third person named Collier.
Plaintiff's witness handed in a book containing a
printed form, and it was teceived by his Honour
as evidence of the contract between the parties.
When Mr. Vann saw the form in question he
urged that the Court had no power to deal with it,
as it required a stamp, being in the form of an
agreement.

His Honour said that might have been so if the
document had not reached the court, but he had
seen it and could not now shut it out. Indeed the
objection should have been taken by the registrar.
Mr. Vann—l am quite willing to submit the
question to the registrar.

His Honour—lam afraid it is too late to do this
now.

Mr. Vann—This is a most important question
to a large number of persons, and I hope your
Honour will give me an opportunity of going to
Somerset-house.

his Honour—Certaiuly. I think the-document
ought to be stamped, and see no reason why the
revenue should be deprived of its_ money. The case
was then referred to Somerset-house.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY.—Robert Anderson, described as a
painter, but who refused his address, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing from Mr. Bon
Marin Le Miere, egg merchant, of No. 2, Tower-
street, St. Martin's-lane, a bowl containing a quan-
tity of copper money, and also with assaulting
Police-constables Winters, 142 A R, and Winsor,
97 F ; and John Anderson, a tin plate worker, and
brother of the first named prizoncr, was charged
with attempting to rescue him from the custody of
the police.

Air. Le Miere, who gave his evidence through Mr.
Albert, the interpreter, said—Yesterday afternoon
I was in a publichouse having a glass of beer, my eye
being on my shop opposite, when I saw the prisoner
Robert enter my shop. I crossed over, and asf entered
my shop the prisoner, who was coming out, met me,
having in his hand a bawl containing a quantity of
small money, which he Lad taken from the drawer
under the counter. I seized him, and he resisted
a good deal, but I gave him into custody.

Patrick Winters, 142 A—l was called yesterday
afternoon to the prosecutor's shop, and the prisoner
Robert Anderson given into my custody for steal-
ing a bowl containing some money. Another
constable, 97 F, came up, and directly we got out-
side the shop the prisoner said, " You will either
have to carry me or take me in a cab !" and
then threw 97 F, and afterwards kicked him several
times saying, " You —, I will do for you," and
became so violent that it took four con-
stables to convey him to the station, and I was
kicked several times. The other prisoner, John,
then came up, and said, " This is my brother," and
caught hold of Robert, and refused to release his
hold of him, and, some other constables coming 4,
he was also taken into custody. About a month
ago the prisoner Robert was stopped by a trunk-
maker, whom he had attempted to rob of a port-
manteau, but be was not prosecuted.
Joseph Winsor, 97 F, after corroborating Winter,
said—The prisoner, Robert, kicked me several times,
saying he would " ruin and do for me."
Barns, the gaoler, said Robert had been, he be-
lieved, previously convicted.

Robert—l admit it-21 days.
Mr. Tyrwbitt fined the prisoner John 2s. 6d.,
and remanded Robert for further inquiries.

WESTMINSTER,.

PARTICULARITY IN PAUPER COSTUME. -Two
young men named Wilson and Parker were charged
with destroying clothing in St. Luke's Workhouse,
Chelsea.

Charles Coombs, porter at the casual ward, said
that the defendants were admitted there last night
and received supper and lodging. This morning at
a quarter before 6 he went to the ward and found
them both in bed. He had heard that they had
turn up the whole of their clothing, and asked
them why they had done so, when they replied that
they did not like them, they were dirty. Witness
afterwards saw the fragments of their clothing.
Witness went and informed the master, who sent
them two new pair of canvass trousers, and they
tore them up.
Mr. Arnold—When was that?
Witness—While I had gone to get them shirts.
Mr. Arnold—Did they assign any reason for
tearing them up ?
Witness—They said they did not fit ; they were
too small.

Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this,
Wilson?

Wilson—My things were filthy.
Mr. Arnold—What have you to say, Parker?
Parker—l've nothing to say.
Mr. .Arnold—Not content with destroying your
own clothing, .you wilfully tear up that belonging
to the parish. Why tear up the trousers?
Wilson—They did not fit ; they wero too short.
Mr. Arnold—That is no reason why they should
be torn up. You are committed for one month for
destroying your own clothing, and a second month
for wilful damage to the parish clothing.

Great Fire and Explosion.

During the last 12 hours a fire,has been raging in
the well-knwn mansion termed ROden Lodge,
Barking, the property of G. Brady, Esq. The fire
commenced about midnight, and in a comparatively
brief space of time flames in huge bodies shot out
from nearly 50 windows. The local engines were
soon on the spot, but they were of little use in ex-
tinguishing such a vast body of fire. Information
was therefore sent to London for aid, and speedily
several land steamers by Shawl, Mason, and Co.,
with a large number of the Londoa Salvage Corps,
arrived on the spot. The flames were not entirely
extinguished at noon to-day. Fortunately a great
many jewels, plate, and valuable d :currents were
saved in one of the pate.lt Reliance fire-proof safes.
The loss will fall upon the Sun and Provincial fire
offices.

A terrific explosion, which it is feared will ter-
minate fatally, took place in the Three Mills Dis-
tillery, belonging to Messrs. Medealf and Co.,
Bromley-cross, near Bow.
