COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Boforo Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE LEOPOLD REDPATH, " THE GOVERNMENT CONVICT.
____ _

This was an old bankruptcy, Redpath having been con-
victed and sentenced to a long term of titnsportation some
years ago for gigantic frauds and forgeries committed upon
the Great Northern Railway Company, in whose service he
was a clerk. At the time of the, prosecution steps were
taken to protect the estate for the creditors, and before the
prosecution was closed Redpath (as in the cases of Robson,
Davidson, Gordon, and others) was adjudicated a bank-
rupt upon an ordinary petition. This had the desired
effect, and the assignee has managed the :estate so well
that from time to time moneys have been collected
and all the creditors who have proved have been paid in
full. This may be accounted for as follows. Tho Great
Northern Railway Company, in the hope of developing
the estate to its fullest, took upon itself the task of paying
the minor creditors, reserving any surplus that might come
hereafter for its own benefit. The result has been that after
all these years there is a sum of £1,151 in hand to the
credit of the estate.

Mr. Crowther (from Messrs. Lawrence, Plows, and
Boyer) put in a new proof for a small amount, and in the
course of a few days the dividend will be advertised.
It may be added that the claim of the Great Northern
Railway Company is £260,000,' but they only proved for
X 40,000.

you can't hurt us," and got in the way of the horse and
cart.

Mr. Partridge—The practice of furious driving has be-
come very prevalent, and must be checked in every possible
way. The prisoner was inebriated and driving at a reck-
less pace, and so reckless was he of the consequences that
he did not pull up after he had knocked down and injured
two men. If the prisoner had killed either of them, 1 should
have committed him for trial for manslaughter. This is a
most disgraceful proceeding. I fine the prisoner 40s. for
furious driving. It is the largest penalty I can inflict.

MARKETS—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts here to-day was only moderate,
and in but middling condition. Prime breeds sold freely,
at full prices. Otherwise the beef trade was heavy, at late
rates. The top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. Sheep, the
show of which was by no means extensive, changed hands
steadily, at fully previous quotations. The best Downs
sold at Gs 8d per 81bs. The quality of breeds was good.
There was a fair sale for calves, at full quotations, viz.,
from 4s to 5s per Sibs. Pigs met a dull inquiry, and the
currencies had a downward tendency. In mulch cows
scarcely any business was transacted.
Per 81b to sink the offal.
