COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Byles,

Williams, and Crowder.)

The court was occupied the whole of the morning in
hearing the arguments for a new trial, in which the con-
struction of a certain clause in the charter of a ship to the
Australian colonies was questioned.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
IN ILE L. G. BON.

This was an application for a certificate. The bankrupt
had been an apothecary in St. George's-in-the-East.
The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Butler and Cummings,
showed debts and liabilities to the extent of £1,024; and
the assets were—good debts, £402 ; property given up,
£lB4 16s. The bankrupt had commenced with a capital
in July, 1857, of £132.

His Honour granted a certificate of the 2d class.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE LYONS.

This bankrupt was described as of Brooke-street, Hol-
born, licensed victualler, and became, bankrupt on his own
petition, and applied for his certificate.
The case had been adjourned to give time for the bank-
rupt to assist in realising his estate, to the extent of £l5O
beyond the expenses, £6O, however, had only been ob-
tained.

His Honour considered that the intention of the Legis-
lature was, that there should be £l5O for the benefit of the
creditors, and until that. was forthcoming he would not
grant a certificate. He would therefore adjourn the meet-
ing sine die, with liberty for the plaintiff to apply hereafter,
and would grant a limited protection. The question of
costs to be reserved.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about per mile discount, the short exchange on London
is 2,5-05 per M. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d per ounce for standard gold,
it appears that gold is 4-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than
in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is
4251 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13-5
per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price
is therefore about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than
in London. The course of exchange at New York on
London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent.,
which when compared with the Mint par between the two
countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of
England ; and, after making allowance for charges of trans-
port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a
small profit on the importation of gold from the United
State% •

People of England I Shun a medical priesthood as you
would a religious priesthood. Remember what was done
by the Inquisition in former times. Well—all those hor-
rors may and would be re-enacted under a medical priest-
hood. Your liberties are as much thrown away under a
medical priesthood as they unquestionably are when Tou
fall under the Inquisition of Rome. It is not the first time
we have Warned you of this great and important truth. The

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day).

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

BREAKING A MAN'S LEG.---John Brennan, a thick-
set, determined-looking fellow, was charged with violently
assaulting Charles Stevens, and breaking his leg.
Mr. George M'Lachlan, tailor, of 2, Albert-villas, South-
end, Kensington, said he was going through Piccadilly the
previous night about ten o'clock, and when at the corner
of Down-street he saw the prisoner trying to get away
from the prosecutor, a cabman, without paying him. The
cabman said, " Will somebody fetch a policeman ?" and he
went one way for that purpose, and some one else another
way. On returning, the cabman was lying on the ground,
crying out, and the prisoner was detained by some of the
bystanders. The prisoner put out his foot, and tried to
throw him (witness) also. The cabman said his leg was
broken, and seemed in very great pain, and was moaning.
The prisoner heard the man say his leg was broken.
Robinson, 48 C, said that hearing cries of "police" pro-
ceeding from Down-street, he went there, and found the
prisoner detained by three or four persons, and was told he
had broken the cabman's leg. He put the cabman in his
own cab, and sent him to St. George's Hospital in the care
of the bystanders, and took the prisoner into custody. The
prisoper then became very violent, assaulted some of the
persons who had detained him, and, while he (Robinson)
was trying to restrain him, threw him with violence against
some iron railings, greatly injuring his back, and had
caused him to feel so unwell that he belieVa he should
have to lay up. The prisoner had been drinking a little.
He had made inquiries and ascertained that the prisoner
was in the habit of frequenting public-houses, exhibiting
feats of strength, striking his chsst, and saying ho was Ben
Caunt.

The prisoner said he had never been in the man's cab at
all—it was some one else. He was passing by Down-street
and the man ran after and seized him. The man's leg was
hurt when they fell together. He had not done it.
Mr. Deaden said ho should remand the prisoner till
Wednesday, to see the result of the injuries inflicted on the
cabman.

Tho prisoner, who has a very ruffianly appearance, was
then remanded.
