Flour is buoyant and active, at a slight advance in
prices. Wheat is firm but dull. Indian corn is

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(T HIS DAY.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.O )
WfIAT CONSTITUTES A BANKRUPT,CY.~DUD}IAINE V.

GREGORY.

This was an action to recover a small sum of money, bu
defendent pleaded that the money, if duce at all, was due to
the Bankruptcy Court:

His Honour: How is that ?

Plaintiff.—l cannot say ; the mons, is due to me. I
have never been bankrupt.

Defendant.—l received a letter froan the Bankruptcy
Court demanding the money. •

Plaintiff.—Never, to my knowledge. I live and carry on
business in Basinghall-street.
His Honour.—Ah I that accounts fbr it. (Laughter.)
He fancies everybody living in BasineJaall-street to be a
bankrupt. (Laughter.)

Dofendant.—But I received the letitere from the Bank-
ruptcy Court, and it said " Re Dumaine."
His Honour—Well, I dare say it 'w as, but that won't
make him a bankrupt. No doubt he hAs put the affairs
into the hands of some clever accounta .t, who is anxious
to show his knowledge of the law.
Plaintiff—My clerk wrote the letter dol nanding payment.

His Honour—He is a shrewd fellow tb en, and finds that

" Re" will bring the money quickly. It has not done so
here, but I must say that defendant 11 as evinced great
scruples to pay the debt on the score th; at plaintiff was a
bankrupt, for I see that ho has come ;311 the way from
Ware to dispute a debt of 6s. 10d. But I should drop the
" Re" if I were plaintiff, as it won't do to be taken for a
bankrupt because one lives in Basingha 11-street, and put
" Re" before his name. (Laughter.)
Verdict for plaintiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(: Luis DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREI :T.

SHOPLIFTING.—Ann Wilson, of 8, Slt 'n
-market-place,
Bankside, was charged with stealing 20 'ards of French
twill and six yards of plaid at the shop of Mr. Bradley,
draper, 6, Cranbourn-street, Leicester-sqra
From the evidence of Harriett Footrimirk , an assistant in
the prosecutor's employ, it appeared that the prisoner en-
tered the shop on Saturday afternoon and a, sked to be shown
some gloves. She selected a pair, and th 9: a asked for some
calico and other things, and while she (wi %.7 aess) was getting
them she saw the prisoner get up from tie?. chair on which
she was sitting and take the piece of Frei will twill now pro-
duced and secrete it under her cloak and then resume her
seat. Witness then told Mr. Bradley -vvbs .t she had seen
when the prisoner, who, no doubt, eard what had
passed, dropped the piece of twill on. the floor; and
the piece of plaid was also found at her feet. They
had both been taken from one pile, a al Ino doubt at the
same time. She denied having touched the articles, and
en her telling her she had seen her pii_t t7t) e twill under her
cloak, she still denied it.

Ward, A 290, said he saw the articles 'lying at the pri-
soner's feet, and on searching her at tb at station a piece of
lining was found on her.

Prisoner said she bought that at anot her shop.
The constable said he had made inqui tries where the pri-
soner lived, and the place was principall, y inhabited by bad
characters. . _ _

----
The prisoner (who persisted that she cgts not guilty, and
put some questions to the witnesses of an rrelevaut nature)
was then committed for trial.
