BANICA UPTCY AND CDANDERY.—This bankrupt was
described vs of Ludgate-hill, umbrella manufacturer, and
to-day crime up to pass his last examination on accounts
prepared by Mr. March, Basinghall-street. The debts
were nc t large, and the bankruptcy appeared to have arisen
througL t some Chancery proceedings in which the bank-
rupt hat 1 been involved. It appeared that he had previously

Both, however, were made bankrupt separately, and an
injun.crion was obtained against the present bankrupt,
prohibiting him from interfering with the assets of the
firm, but he was ultimately appointed receiver, and he gave
security, and part of his present liabilities arose on a debt
due to his sureties, an adverse judgment having been
obtain (xl against him for a larger amount than was thought
to be 'lnc to the estate of Eccles.
Mr. Pook appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Mason
(Mason and Sturt), for the assignees.
His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second
class.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
STEALING BRICKS FROM SEWER WORKS.—Martin
Dowd, a labourer, James Pavey, a bricklayer, and William
Tutton, a butcher, were charged, the former with stealing
and the two latter with receiving, a quantity of bricks, the
property of Mr. Edward Thirst, the contractor for the
building of sewers for the vestry of St. James's.
Cook, 175 C, said that, at four that morning, he saw the
prisoner Dowd go up to the stack of bricks in Hopkin's-
street, and pick up about a dozen and walk away with
them. He followed and stopped him, and sprang his rattle,
when the prisoner Tutton came out of Berwick-street and
said, " Martin, where have you been ? we have been wait-
ing for those bricks," and returned to 6, Berwick-street.
He then took Dowd to the station, and on returning to the
house, found Pavey and Tutton there. Dowd said, when
he took him, the bricklayer sent him for them, as he was
laying a copper at the house. Pavey having 'admitted
he was the bricklayer doing the work, he took him into
custody. There was a large quantity of bricks about the
place exactly corresponding with those at the works. The
prisoner Tutton was employed by the owner of the house,
who was a pork butcher.

Sergeant Glass, 3 C, said ho went to the house and saw
Pavey setting a copper. There was a large quantity
of new brick fresh laid, and Pavey said the labourer had
brought them. He had taken two of the bricks from those
set and they exactly corresponded in every particular with
those Dowd had taken from the. works. Believed that
above 100 had been taken.

Mr. Edward Thirst, of John-street, Chelsea, said he was
contractor for the works, and the bricks produced were part
of a large quantity belonging to him which were at the
works. He knew nothing of the prisoners.
Pendrill, the watchman, said the bricks were taken from
a gateway out of the line of works. He had seen Dowd
pass once or twice but did not suspect his object.
Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said Dowd had been con-
victed of stealing lead, and Sergeant Gummer was in
attendance to prove it.
The prisoners, who had nothing to say, were remanded.
