INTELLIGENCE.-(T.FIIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE J. L. ANDERSON.

This bankrupt was described as formerly of Cannon-street
West, linen draper, under the style or firm of Anderson and
Co., and now carrying on business with Theodore Allen in
Milk-street, City of London, under the firm of Anderson,
Allen, and Co.

Mr. Curwood now appeared for the bankrupt, and asked
for an adjournment sine die with protection, on the ground
that the bankrupt was suffering under consumption, and
not likely to recover.

Mr. Hughes, from Mr. Linklater's, said that the bank-
rupt had applied to the Insolvency Court, where his
schedule had been filed, and it was only from that that the
creditors could ascertain the state of the affairs, and as
there were no assets the assignee did not feel bound to incur
any expense. He (Mr. Hughes) thought that an adjourn-
ment with protection from month to month would be
sufficient.

His Honour said that, under the circumstances, he should
grant protection for three months.

IN RE SHAW AND SHAW.

These bankrupts were described as of John-street, Cam-
bridge-heath, boiler makers, and came up to pass their last
examination unopposed. The debts are small, and it was
stated that the creditors might have been paid in full, had
an offer been accepted ; but there was a quarrel between
the partners and a third party. The only question of the
slightest interest in the case was on the application for an
allowance, each bankrupt claiming £2O as excepted articles
out of the joint estate.

• His Honour considered that only £2O could be allowed
out of a joint estate to be divided between the bankrupts ;
but whero thero were separate estates, each bankrupt could
take £2O of property at the broker's valuation, but he did
not think that the bankrupt could not afterwards claim on
the joint estate, but he would not make an order at the
moment.

CRIMINAL COUR T--( THIS DAY .

OLD COURT.

The January sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, Recorder,
Aldermen, and Sheriffs.

The calendar contains the names of 42 prisoners for trial.
The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, expressed
his satisfaction that the number of prisoners for trial was
less than he ever remembered since he had the honour o
a seat on the bench. There was one charge of infanticide
and although, undoubtedly, crimes including violence to;
the person generally were certainly on the decrease, he was
afraid that this particular crime was not only not decreasing,
but was on the increase. In the case that would now be
brought before them the principal question for their consi-
deration would be, first, whether the child was born alive;
and next, whether it was made out to their satisfaction that
the death was the unlit of violence; and that the prisoner's
was the hand by which the violence was inflicted. If all
these acts should be made out to their satisfaction it would
be their duty to find a true bill. 'I he learned gentleman
concluded by stating that he did not know that there was
any other ease likely to present the least difficulty, and he
should therefore dismiss them..to the performance of their
duty.

POLICE INTELLIGENC_E-(TIUS D 4 Y.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OBTAINING MONEY BY THE FALSE PRETENCE OF
GETTING ♦ CHILD INTO A SCHOOL.—William Harris, a
stonemason, residing t.t Pendleton-cottage, Hercules'-
buildings, Westminster-road, was charged, before Mr.
Beadon, with obtaining of Miss Sarah Hughes, of 14,
Golden-square, the sum of £5, by the false pretence of
getting a little girl into a school.

The prosecutrix said—l have known the prisoner about
two months, by assisting him. He said he would get ray
sister's child into the Stonemasons' School, as it was neg-
lected by its parents, He said he had been to the meeting
and paid 2s. Gd. for entering the child's name, and asked
me for Bs. for another purpose ; and then said he should
want £5 to pay to the institution, and that the child would
have it returned at the end of four years, when it left. She
paid him the Bs. then, and on the 21st of December paid
him the £5, and he gave me a receipt for the same, and I
gave him £1 for himself for his trouble. After I paid
him the money the prisoner said he would bring me the
rules of the school to read, but he never did so, and that
caused me to suspect him. I sent to his house, but he was
out, and the following Monday his wife called on me, and
said her husband had been robbed of the money. I saw
no more of him till he was taken into custody, and haring
made inquiries at the place where the stonemasons meet, in
the Westminster-road, I have ascertained that there is no
such school in existence. I should net have parted with
my money but that the prisoner said he could get the child
into the school.

Wm. Hellicar, 171 C, said—l took the prisoner into cus-
tody on Saturday evening, and told him he was charge:d
by Miss Hughes with obtaining money by false pretences
for getting a child into a school. The prisoner said he
should have done so if he could, but had lost the money in
a public-house.

In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prosecutrix said the child
was legitimate, its father being in the brass trade, but that
it had been neglected. The prisoner said the school was
between Clapham and Wandsworth.

Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner for a
week, and a stonemason had better be in attendance to state
whether there was any such school or not.
