LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE NOBLE.-A NOVEL POINT.

This bankrupt was a clerk, of Portland-place,
Southampton, and he applied for his order of dis-
charge. His debts were £786, due to a long list of
creditors, the cause of failure being a number of
debts contracted by his wife before marriage and
insufficiency of income. It was stated that the
bankrupt's friends had agreed to pay a composition
of 7s. 6d. in the pound. A portion of this had been
paid, and it was the intention of the parties to annul
the bankruptcy.
On the part of the assignees it was urged thit it
would be as well to let the matter stand over,, but
his Honour ruled that even if the order of discharge
were granted it would be in the power of the bank-
rupt to annul the bankruptcy at any time.

Attorney to the Assignees—Even after the order
of discharge is granted?

His Honour—Yes ; that will make no difference.
Before the order is granted, however, the balance
of the composition must be paid.

Cential Criminal Court—(This Day).

OLD COURT.
(Before Air. Baron Channcll.)

Charles-Anderson, carpenter, a Swede, remanded
from last session, was indicted for the wilful murder
of James Marchien upon the high seas.
From the evidence it appeared that he shipped as
an able seaman on board the ship Raby Castle, and
that on the 24th of November, while off the coast of
Africa, he deliberately cut deceased's head from his
body with an axe. Marchien was also an able seaman,
and at the time of the occurrence was lying in his
berth on the forecastle with his back towards the
entrance. There were five cuts in the back of the
neck and two on the shoulder. The chief mate said
that a week or ten days previous to the surrender
he was on
,the deck and the prisoner at the
wheel. It was then blowing a heavy gale of
wind, when he heard l,im say, "This will
never do. We shall never get to London.
I shall kill the Russian Fin, and when we get to
London I can easily run away." Witness told him
to make less noise, and pay more attention to
steering the ship. The prisoner meant the deceased
when he said he would kill " the Russian Fin."
The deceased was a mulatto, and came from the
West Indies.

Several of the crew on board the Raby Castle
gave evidence. They considered the prisoner to
be " soft." He took his meals alone. In the hot
weather he always went below, and in the cold,
when the crew assembled below, he left them and
passed his time on deck. The crew had frequently
said there was a Russian Fin aboard, and that it
was not right he should 13.3 there. When ho was
taken into custody after the murder, he said he had
done it to save the ship.

Mr: Daley, for the prisoner, set up the defence
of insanity, which, he contended, the whole of the
evidence clearly established.
William \railer, master in the ship Progress,
said the prisoner had taken a voyage with him for
about three weeks, but he was discharged because
he was supposed to be insane. He saw the prisoner
while he was in custody at Cape Town, and he then
thought him decidedly insane.
The chief officer of the ship Progress said he saw
the prisoner in custody at Cape Town. When he
was on board the Progress he thought he was an
idiot, that is a man who had not his full senses.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
George Smith, carpenter, was indicted for un-
lawfully attempting to enter the dwelling-house of
the Marquis of Downshire, in Belgrave-square,
with intent to steal.

The police, who received information that an
attempt had been made to enter his lordship's house,
promised to watch both the back and front of Down -
shire-house. The prisoner was seen to jump off the
garden- wall of one of the houses in Upper Eccleston-
street, and he was accordingly taken into custody,
and on making inquiry it was discovered the pri-
soner had been in the Marquis of Downshire's
garden, and there marks of attempts having been
made to raise some of the windows, the marks corre-
sponding with some knives found in the prisoner's
possession. . -

The jury found him guilty. There were two
previous convictions proved against the prisoner,
but it was also stated that he had been attempting
to gain an honest living. Under these circumstances
the Recorder sentenced him to two years' imprison-
ment with hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

from going into the house. The defendant struck him
several violent blows on the breast and neck. He kept
sparring and also fighting about, and at last he was dragged
away by his companions.
Mr. Neale, the solicitor, of Kennington-park-road, New-
ington, said that the principal object of his client was to
prevent his family and also his customers from being sub-
ject to the annoyance of the defendant and his companions,
whose general conduct was most disgusting.

The Hon. G. C. Norton bound the defendant over in
two sureties of £lO each to keep the peace for six weeks.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN AND Ins J. M. Thompson,
gentleman, of 161, Drummond-street, Euston-square, was
charged before Mr. Knox with asiaultiug Kato Walker,. a
smartly-attired and good-looking young female.
The comptinant said—l reside at 18, Oxford-tem-ice.
I livid with the defeadaut a shirt time, and left Lim be-
cause ho wanted mo to go on the streets. He last tiight
met me as I was coming out of the A:hambra, and he asked
me for a ring ho had given me, and I gave him the dupli-
cate of it, and he then struck Inc i❑ the mouth.

By defendant--You have known me about four months,
ana I have kept you.

The defendant —I should like tho case adjourned, as I
can prove she is speaking falsely.
Mr. Knox—The question is whether you struck her or
not.

Dofendant—l admit it, but under great provocation. It
was a back-handed blow, and not with the clenched fist.

Mr. Knox—l do not see why you should evon give a
woman a back-handed blow.

Mr. Robert Jones, 16, Oxford-terrace—Sir, I took Miss
Walker to the Alhambra last night, and while putting her
into a cab, the defendant came up and said that she should
not get into the cab till he had spoken to her, and he
pushed her. I asked him to explain his conduct, and he
then asked the complainant for a ring, and on her giving
him the ticket of it, he struck her a violent blow with his
fist, in the mouth, and but for his catching her she would
have fallen.

Mr. llnox—l do not soo any injury on the complainant's
mouth.

Mr. Collins (the usher), after looking at the complain-
ant's mouth, said there was a slight scratch on it.
Mitchell, 311-A
—I was called to take the defendant into
custody for assaulting the complainant, and there was a
little blood on her mouth.
The Defendant—l met this young female last year at
a review, and took her to Wolverhampton races, and kept
her ever since. I also took her to the Liverpool Coursing
Meeting and elsewhere, and treated her very kindly, and
she left me in a shameful manner. I last night asked her
for my ring, and we parted, and I certainly struckler, but
not with such violence as suited; and I am extremely
sorry for doing so.
Mr. Knox—l think tha violence of the blow has been
much exaggerated, or there would have been some appear-
ance of it on the complainant's mouth, but I cannot coun-
tenance the defendant striking a female at all, and I shall
sine him 40s. or a month's imprisonment.
The complainant, taking Mr. James's arm, left the court.

XARKE TS. ---T his day.

MARK-LANE.

Very little English wheat was received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise or by railway. The quality of
the samples, however, was tolerably good. Fine dry
wheats were held for more money; but the demand was
far from active, at fully late rates.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. The trans-
actions were on a moderate scale, at extreme quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were firm in price.
Both English and foreign barley moved off slowly, at
late rates.

Malt movod off slowly; nevertheless, prices were sup-
ported. The supply was good.

There was a fair sale for oats—the arrivals of which
have been tolerably good—at previous currencies.
Beans commanded very little attention. Peas, however,
were steady.
The sale for flour was firm, at rate rates.
Seeds and cakes were a slow inquiry.
