LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE CAMERON, THE MANAGER OF THE ROYAL BRITISH

BANK.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of this
bankrupt, who had been the manager of the Royal British
Bank, and is in confinement under a conviction for fraud.

It was promised on the last occasion that, should an ad-
journment be granted, accounts should be ready for this
meeting, but none had been filed.

Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said he must admit the
difficulty in which the bankrupt was placed, as the expense
of obtaining access to the books would be great. The
assignees would not object to an adjournment, with protec-
tion to enable the bankrupt to attend the court and file his
accounts.

His Honour said that repeated adjournments only en-
tailed expense on the estate, and he would adjourn the case
sine die, with limited protection.

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Jones.)
SERVANTGALISM-MASTER AND SERVANT-DEARY V.

PAUL.

Mr. T. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the
plaintiff.
This was a claim for wages, and wages in lieu of notice,
and Mr. Beard stated that his client, a poor servant girl,
entered defendant's service in July in the present year, and
left in September, without notice, under the following
peculiar circumstances :—Plaintiff had a holiday on the 9th
of September, and was ordered to return the same day at
two o'clock. She was informed during her peregrinations
that her sister was ill, and, calling upon her, the time flew
so quickly that she was not in till three. Defendant and
his housekeeper swore she was drunk, made her sign a
paper, said she might summon if she liked, and ejected her
by a summary notice, known as, " Be off."

Plaintiff was called, and was by no means a smart speci-
men of a servant girl. She stated the various circumstances
noticed by Mr. Beard in his opening. Defendant had made
her sign a paper with her cross. She could not either read
or write. She received a month's wages on the morning
of her holiday, but not one penny when she put her cross to
the paper. When she returned Miss Taylor or Mrs. Paul
turned her out of the kitchen, and she (plaintiff) told her
that it should not occur again. Defendant accused her of
being drunk. She was not so.

A witness was called, who swore that plaintiff had only
had one glass of wino all day.
Mr. Paul said he was resident medical officer at St. Pan-
cras Dispensary. Plaintiff returned on the day in question
drunk. He would swear she received two months' wages
on her holiday, viz., one month in the morning, and the
other month when she was discharged. He considered
that she was rightly diScharged, as she was drunk and very
abusive.

Mrs. Paul said the girl was no use to her as a servant.
She was dear at nothing. She saw her husband pay plain-
tiff money in the morning and money when she was dis-
charged. She heard nothing about summoning. Mrs.
Paul volunteered a statement that Roman Catholics could
not take an oath in a County Court.

His Honour—lt was a case of hard swearing. The
receipt produced by defendant was drawn up so precisely,
that his Honour would grant plaintiff a chance of proving
her case on a future occasion. He should nonsuit her, and
she could get advice. As to the notice,'her saying " this
shan't occur again," was rather against her.
No costs.

£l3, from Mr. Golding, chief clerk to Mr. Wray, the re-
ceiver for the metropolitan police force.

The prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, was defended by
Mr. Sleigh.
From the evidence of Inspector Mitchell, of the F
division of the metropolitan police, it appeared that
Gymer was one of the constables lately employed to ap-
prehend ticket-of-leave men who by any misconduct had
forfeited their licence and so became liable to serve the
remainder of the term of the original sentence. When em-
ployed on this duty the constable has in each case to prepare
an estimate of the expenses of the journey to the place
where the convict is to be apprehended. In most cases the
convict is at this period in gaol, undergoing a sentence for
some offence subsequent to his liberation on ticket of leave,
and the custom is for the constable to be at the prison at the
time of the convict's discharge from that subsequent impri-
sonment, and to apprehend him on the spot by a warrant
from the chief magistrate (Mr. Hall). The estimate of expense
is made out on a printed form, called an " imprest," which
must be submitted to the superintendent (Mr. Durkin) for
his signature, and afterwards to one of the commissioners of
police, who also signs it. It is then presented by the clerk
to the receiver, who pays the money. In the present case,
Gymer submitted to Mr. Mitchell, inspector of the F divi-
sion, at that time acting as superintendent, a report he had
been instructed to go to Birmingham to apprehend a convict,
with an imprest containing an estimate of the expenses of
the journey, amounting to £l3. In the absence of the super-
intendent, it was impossible for Mr. Mitchell to know that he
had not received such instructions. He accordingly signed the
imprest. Gymer obtained the money without the signature of
the commisioner, by representing to Mr. Golding that
it was a case of emergency, requiring him to start im-
mediately, and that there was no commissioner within.
Remaining in town, however, he was seen by Mr. Mitchell,
who inquired why he was not gone. He said he was in-
formed that the convict was in the infirmary. After a few
days, Mr. Mitchell becoming dissatisfied, insisted on the pri-
soner returning the money, which he did, after endeavour-
ing to evade it by saying he had already returned it to Mr.
Golding. He then begged Mr. Mitchell not to report his
conduct, as he should be dismissed. It afterwards ap-
peared that he had received no instructions to go to Bir-
mingham to apprehend any convict. The prisoner excused
his conduct by saying he had had his pocket picked of a
purse containing £9.

A number of witnesses having been examined,
Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for the prisoner and con•
tended that no case of fraud had been made out.

The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, upon hearing
which the man fell to the ground, and was conveyed in a
senseless state from the Court.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

WATCH ROBBERY BY A BOY.—Henry Fraser, an errand
boy, and Edwin Harper, a costermonger, were charged (the
former on his own confession) with stealing a watch of the
value of £2 10s., from the Marquis of Granby, Brick-street.

Frederick Jemnett said that he missed his watch on
Tuesday afternoon last, and told the prisoner Fraser, who
slept with him, he had done so. He replied, " That's a bad
job. I know nothing about it." He then gave informa-
tion to the police.

Wm. Gordon, 336 A, said the prisoner Fraser admitted
to him taking the watch, and said he had hid it in the dung
heap; and, on going with the prisoner Harper, he having
previously told him about it, he could not find it, and that,
as no one else knew where it was, he must have taken it.
In answer to Mr. Bingham, Fraser admitted taking the
watch and hiding it, and not being able to find it on going
with the other prisoner, who had told him he could " get
him out of it."

Mr. Cort, watchmaker, of 10, Chapel-street, said the boy
had offered; the watch to him for sale, but he refused to
purchase it.
Mr. Bingham said he should discharge Harper, and re-
mand the other prisoner for a week.

THE LATE CASE OP MANSLAUGHTER.—In the course
of the morning Mr. Alfred Jones, 64, Grosvenor-street,
handed to the magistrate for the widow of Robert Langdon
—the full particulars of whose case have been fully reported
in this journal—the following sums :—Mr. Jones, £1; Mrs.
Jones, 10s. ; Miss Burton, ss. ; and Mr. Poling, 2s. 6cL
The widow is left with four children, and is near her
accouchement.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up, to-day, only a limited supply of English wheat
came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. Although
the show of samples of both red and white was small, the
demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at Monday's currency.
A liberal supply of foreign wheat, 8,220 quarters, has
been reported this week. Even the finest qualities met a
dull inquiry, but we have no change to notice in the
quotations.

Floating cargoes of grain met a dull inquiry.
The supply of most kinds of barley was moderate. Fine
malting samples realised full quotations. Other kinds
moved off slowly, at late rates.

We had a moderate inquiry for malt, on former terms.

Oats, beans, peas, and flour, the supplies of which were
seasonably good, moved off slowly, at Monday's currency.
