Ilt)LIOR INTRZLIGRNEM.—(`iiio Day).

GUILDHALL.

EA TV iNT2?LLiGERC~'.-(THIW LAY.)

Lieut. F. Higginson, of the Royal navy, attended before
Mr. Alderman Salomons, to-day, at Guildhall Police-court,
and applied for a summons, under the Joint-stock Com-
panies Act, against the Atlantic Telegraph Company, of
23, Old Broad-street, for not having made a return to the
Registrar of Joint-stock Companies containing a list of the
shareholders.

The solicitor to the company was now present, and said
that the clause referred to did not affect the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company.
Lieut. Higginson—l contend that it does.
Alderman Salomons—lt is my opinion that this company
is excepted from the operations of the act.
Lieut. Higginson then proceeded to read from a docu-
ment which he held in his hand, but was pre-
vented from proceeding. He then said, when I was
here yesterday I was assaulted by one of your officers.
I have now to apply for a warrant against that person ;
will you grant me one ?

Alderman Salomons—No, I will not.
Lieutenant Higginson—l was assaulted by an officer of
this court as he was carrying out your directions. Will
you grant me a summons ?

Alderman Salomons—Certainly not ; the officer was only
carrying out an order to remove you from court for
doing that which you are now repeating, interrupting the
business.

Lieut. Higginson—l was not. 1 was attempting to get
justice.

buAsinldeesmrs. an Salomons—l say you were interrupting the

Lieut. Higginson—Very well ; that may be your opi-
nion. I find I can make application for what I require to
a higher tribunal. I shall do so.

The gallant gentleman then hastily leftthe court accom-
panied by his friends.

COtTRT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE PARKINS-STOCK EXCHANGE DIFFERENCES.

This bankrupt was described as an auctioneer and valuer,
of Minerva-terrace, New Cross, and Grocers'-hall-court,
Poultry. The case was reported a few days since in this
journal, on the application for an adjudication, which was
made, but an appeal was entered. Yesterday, his honour,
Mr. Commissioner Evans, gave judgment on the question
as to whether the bankrupt could be deemed a trader
within the meaning of the act. He professedly carried
on the business of an auctioneer at the above place,
in the City, and had a door plate on which he
designated himself as an auctioneer, &c., and issued cards
to the same effect. It was, however, contended by Mr.
Pook, for the bankrupt, that no act of trading had been
proved. His Honour considered that when a person put
upon his door a plate, and issued business cards, he was a
trader, within the meaning of the act, and that in this case
there was no pretence for the objection, and refused to stay
the advertisement in order to appeal.
The case has excited much interest on the Stock Ex-
change, as the bankrupt, who, although not on 'Change,
did a pretty large business in that, and it is alleged took
all the " differences " from the memliers of the Stock Ex-
change, but when the result of his speculations proved ad-
verse, he refused to pay those due from himself.
The adjudication was, therefore, confirmed, and will, in
ordinary course, appear in the Gazette of this evening.

BOW-STREET.

ROBBING A CLERGYMAN.—A lad about 15 years of age,
named John Money, was placed at the bar, charged with
picking the pocket of the Rev. John H. Burgess, curate of
Beddington, Oxfordshire. _ _

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Jones.)

The rev. gentleman said—Last evening I was passing
along Holborn, when a person touched me on the shoulder
and informed me I had had my pocket picked by the lad he
had then hold of. I felt in my coat pocket, and found I had
lost a small Parian jug which I had purchased at the
Crystal Palace. Just after this another person gave me
the jug, which the prisoner had thrown away. (The pro-
secutor here produced a very beautiful Parian china jug, a
bit of which had been broken off when it was thrown to the
ground.)

ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE HIGH BAILIFF.-DECISION.

Mr. Ives waited upon his Honour, and applied to be in-
formed if he would appoint any day for an inquiry
into the conduct of the high bailiff. The high bailiff must
have had notice of the proceedings, and the affidavits hav-
ing been filed on Monday there had been ample time con-
sumed in the matter.

George Taylor—l am a working plumber—Last evening
I saw the prosecutor and a lady walking along High Hol-
born, when I perceived the boy lift up the gentle-
man's coat and put his hand into the pocket.
The robbery was effected in a remarkably clever manner.
After the boy had got the jug into his possession, he put it
under his jacket, and turned to cross the road, but I de-
tained him, and told the gentleman of the circumstance.
During this time the boy managed—to jerk the jug from
under his coat, and it was broken by the fall.
Police-constable E, 159—1 took the prisoner into custody
—he at first denied the robbery, but when I told him it
was no use doing so, as he had been seen to pick the gen-
tleman's pocket, he said he had been " put up to" it
by some other boys, and he hoped the gentleman would let
him off. Prisoner had given his right address, but I think
if I had time I could find something out against him, as I
fancy I have had him in custody before.

Mr: Henry—What have you to say to'the charge ?
Prisoner—l did it, your worship ; but I'm very sorry.
I hope you'll look it over.

His Honour said he would hear the subject now.
Mr. Ives—l have no witnesses, and my profeisional ad-
viser is absent.

His Honour—l cannot help that. I have carefully gone
through the affidavits, and have written to the high bailiff
upon the subject, and I have his answer, which is perfectly
satisfactory.

Mr. Henry—lndeed I will not. I shall remand you for
a week, in order to allow the officer to make some inquiry
about you. As the depositions of the prosecutor and Tay-
lor had been signed, they need not attend again.
ASSAULTING A RELIVING OFFICER.—Andrew Taylor,
aged 18, was charged with assaulting the relieving officer
of the Strand Union.

Mr. Ives—l should naturally expect it would be so.
His Honour—l find that a levy was made on the 12th
July, and paid out immediately. On the 13th Mr. Ives
calls for the money and finds there is no return. He calls
three or four times, and then issues a summons against the
high bailiff. A day afterwards he receives information
that the money is paid in, and he draws it out and with-
draws his summons, and now begs for an inquiry. Upon
private application to the high bailiff, I find that the bailiff
who made the levy and collected the money received the
latter on the 12th July (Monday), and, in the ordinary
course, would have paid it in on the following day; but he
had important business to transact, and so he did not pay it
in till the following Wednesday.

Mr. Ives—And so I am to suffer because your bailiff
goes out of the ordinary course, and keeps my money for
nearly eight days.

Mr. Ruthven, of the Strand Union, said last right the
prisoner came into the office and asked me to give him an
order for a night's lodging, which I refused. He said I
might refuse as much as I liked, but he would not go away
without one. After trying for some time to persuade him
to leave the place, I, in the presence of the officer, took
hold of him for the purpose of putting him out, when he
struck me a violent blow on the mouth.
Mr. Henry—ls this not the same boy we sent into the
union a few days ago ?
Ruthven—Yes, your worship. He has been in the
workhouse also, but was discharged two or three days ago
by order of the board.
Mr. Henry—Why -did you strike the officer ? He was
only acting according to the orders he had received in re-
fusing your request.

His Honour (smiling)—Your matter is but a drop in the
ocean, and it would be a hard thing for me to exert a
power I undoubtedly possess, and fine the bailiff for an
assumed fault which is beyond his control. When I see
the number of summonses issued, and the very small pro-
portion marked not served, I am astonished at the manner
in which the business is got through in the bailiff's office.
Mr. Ives—As I suppose the bailiff and his assistants are
paid out of the fees of the suitors, there is no very great
need for astonishment, because they perform that duty for
which they were specially engaged.
His Honour—l do not see any ground for having a fur-
ther inquiry.

Mr. Ives—Then I will only say that it is extremely hard,
and the result of an arbitrary power. You admit yourself
that in the ordinary course of business my money
should have been paid in on the 13th. What have I
to do with your bailiff's important business, and if, by
departing from the ordinary course, he injures me, he
should also depart from it to benefit me, and not, as a mat-
ter of routine, hold my money for another week. I was
told when I applied on the 19th that there was no return,
and when I said my landlord would distrain the next day,
a bailiff said, " Oh, we've nothing to do with your
troubles."
His Honour—That is denied.

Mr. Ivcs—Of course. lam only surprised so much has
been admitted.

His Honour—You withdraw your summons against the
bailiff. I will not say what is my opinion of the wisdom
of that course.

Prisoner—He assaulted me first. I went into the Union-
office last night to ask for a night's lodging. It was re-
fused, and I was told to go and sleep upon the stairs of the
house in which my father was living. I told him if I did
that I should be taken into custody. In a short time after
I refused to, leave the office, and they took hold of me by
the collar and commenced turning me out. I thought I had
a right to a night's lodging.
Mr. Henry—Did you not lose your last situation through
being saucy ? _ _ _

Mr. Ives—l see now how wise it was, and how foolish is
the present; and, begging your honour's forgiveness for
trespassing on your valuable time, I will withdraw, and
only hope my case will be a caution to all those who seek
redress against the party in power.

Prisoner—Since I left my last situation I have been
jobbing about the markets, for want of something better to
do. Yesterday I walked about all day, and only ea pied
a penny. I had no place to sleep. What was Itodo P
Mr. Henry—You had no right to strike the, officer of the
Union. He was only carrying out the orders of his supe-
riors, and they, thinking you were not a deserving person,
had given him directions accordingly. I fine you 205., or
ten days' imprlsonmant, for the assault.

The applicant then withdrew, to the evident satisfaction
of the official.
