LAW INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)

IN RE WINDEN.-A THIRTY-YEAR-OLD BANKRUPTCY.

This bankrupt, who was formerly a tobacconist,
of Bedfordbury, was adjudicated so long back as
1838, upon the petition of creditors, and he now
applied for his certificate of conformity, as it
was called under the old law, but which is
synonymous with the present order of discharge.
Several sittings have from time to time been held,
and a dividend of 7s. 61 in the pound has been
paid to ail .the creditors. It was stated that the
assignee to the estate and his attorney were both
dead, and his Honour said he saw nothing upon the
proceedings which would justify his withholding the
certificate, and it was granted in the usual manner.
It must be remembered that the bankrupt has been
kept out of the certificate of discharge from bank-
r Aptcy for nearly 30 years, and if he had gone into
business he would have done so at his own risk.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE IN A CAFE.— Colonel Christie, residing at Lane's
Hotel, St. Albion's-place, was charged before Mr. Knox
with assaulting Henry Cornelius, waiter at the Cafe Re-
gene°, corner of Windmill-street. _

The complainant said that, on the previous evening, the
defendant came to the Cafe Regeoce, and ran up a bill
of 125., and refused to pay. The defendant then made a
disturbance by insulting every one, and had an altercation
with a gentleman. He (complainant) requested the de-
fendant to go away several times, but ho refused to do so,
and on his putting his hand on his shoulder for the pur-
pose of ejecting him, the defendant gave him a blow in
the eye, which he thought last night would have caused
him to lose his sight.
The defendant denied insulting any one, and said he
was attacked by three persops. He would like to ask the
complainant if ho was not assaulted himself, or how the
blood came on his handkerchief ?

The complainant said the 'defendant was not attacked
as stated.
The defendant asked the complainant whether ho had
not tried to throttle him ?

The complainant denied doing anything of the kind.
He requested the defendant to leave several times.
The defendant said he should like to know the names of
the persons whom he insulted.
The complainant said he could not tell.

Sergeant Jeffry, 21 C, said he was called to the café to
put the defendant out. He told tho waiters to put him
out, and on their doing so, not using more violence than
necessary, tho defendant struck the complainant in the eye.
Ho then took the defendant into custody.
In answer to Mr. Knox, tho sergeant said the defendant
had beon drinking, but was not drunk.

Defendant asked the sergeant whether he did not hear
him say that if they would lot him go he would go to his
club and got the money ?
The sergeant said he did not.
The defendant said that as the complainant said he had
insulted all the persons in tha place, ho should like to ask
him if he had not been chatting and chaffing to some of
the females at the counter?

matter of course, but he hoped that it was not expected of
him to make them all returnable for hearing on ono day.
If that was done ho would not promise that he could hear
them all.

Inspector Kerrissey said, with the magistrate's per-
mission, ho would make theta returnable on several days.
Mr. Benson—Very good.
Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, said the court had a large
quantity of business on its hands, and ho could not
promise that he and his colleague could make out all the
summonses this day. 110 had never heard so many sum-
monses applied for at once in the coarse of the many years
ho had been clerk of the Court.

Mr. Benson—Take your summons, Mr. Kerrissey. You
hear what the Chief Clerk says. We have only two
clerks here.

A DISORDERLY WIFE. -Rebecca Bashbrook, a middle-
aged, dissipated-looking woman, was charged before Mr.
Benson with assaulting harry Bushbrook, her husband.
The complainant, a healthy, clean, and well-dressed
man, said his wife was an incorrigible drunkard, and that
some time ago she struck bins with a poker and wounded
him. Yesterday she was intoxicated, and at dinner time she
boat him with a chair, which he did not trind, but at
supper time she throw a looking glass without a frame at
him, and it broke on his forehead and cut it. The witness
than produced a piece of the broken glass, and said that he
was in fear of his life, and that the prisoner had threatened
to murder him, and said if she could not kill him while he
was awake she wJuld do it when he was asleep.
Mr. Beeson— What are you?
Witness -I am a labourer in Wigram's shipbuilding
yard, and live at Commercial-street, Bromley.
Mr. Benson—Do you drink to excess like your wife ?
Witness—No, sir. I have not tasted strong drink for
two years: 1 wish to be separated from her.
The prisoner said her husband was bad tempered and ill-
used her. She had lived apart frOm him five months.
Yesterday he broke an Indian bowl, which provoked her.

The complainant said he did break the bowl.
Mr. Benson said the prisoner was a violent and dangerous
woman, and she must bo restrained. He must order her
to find ono surety to keep the peace and be of good be-
haviour, and she must be locked up in default.
The prisoner—l am afflicted with disease of the heart,
and if I am sent to prison it will be the death of me.
Mr. Benson—l don't wonder that you are affi icted with
disease of the heart. If you find ono surety you will be
liberated. -

BE77ING-HOUSES AND THE BEI7ING

ACT.

At the Marlborough street Police-court, on Thursday,
Mr. Rice, the landlord of the Crown publichouse, situated
in Brewer-street, Golden-square, and Mr. Martin, appeared
before Mr. Knox, in answer to summonses taken out by
Charles C. Russell, charging thorn with keeping betting-
lists, and the former with allowing betting to take place in
his house.

Mr. Park, instructed by Mr. Griffith; appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Lewis, of
Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence.
Charles C. Russell was examined, and deposed that ho
had visited the house of the defendant, Rice, in the presence
of Martin, and made a bet on a horse which was to run at
ono of the subsequent race meetings.

The witness was subjected to a searching cross-exami-
nation by Mr. Sleigh, with the object of showing that the
proceedings had been inst Luted with a view to extort
money. The learned counsel read a letter, which the wit-
ness admitted to be in his hand-writing, addressed to Mar-
tin, in which he said that unless certain conditions were
complied with within a specified time applications would
be made for summonses; talent, money, and law would be
against the defendants, and a conviction was almost certain.
The penalties recovered would probably exceed £lOO, half
of which, under the Betting Act of 1863, would go to the
informer, and, as "an old pal," he wished to inform him of the
risk he ran. If a moderato sum of money could be raised
for business purposes, probably some arrangement might
be come to.

Examination continued —At tho time he wrote the letter
he had not consulted any lawyer or instructed any counsel.
Probably if his demands had boon complied with those
proceedings would not have boon taken.

In further examination the witness contradicted himself
flatly.
George Shilling was called as a witness for the prose-
cution, but it was announced that ho was at that moment
locked up, " drunk and incapable," in ono of the cells at
the back of the court.
This was the case for the prosecution.

Mr. Knox said it would be impossible to convict on the
uncorroborated testimony of a common informer, who
had more than once grossly perjured himself whilst under
examination, and therefore ho must dismiss the case.
The decision was received with applause by the persons
who crowded the court.

Mr. Sleigh said that ho wished to state, on behalf of the
dlendant Rice, that ho entirely denied the accusation,
which had been brought forward solely with a view to
extort money.

We were fairly supplied with oats, which changed bands
freely at extreme rates, to a slight advance.
