William Hutchinson, foreman to Messrs. Bishop and
Blundell, stationers, Little Britain, was placed at the bar
charged with fabricating false accounts of work and labour

Mrs. Mary Ann Downey was examined, and said that
she was in the prosecutor's employment, and was generally
paid her wages by the prisoner. On the 27th of August she
left. She is the only person of the same name in their em-
ployment. _ _

- deoge Banks, City detective officer, said, on Saturday
last I was in prosecutor's shop when prisoner came in, and
he was asked who did the work charged in the account pro-
duced? And he said he did it. Prosecutor said he must
have done it in their time. The prisoner soid no ; he had
done it in overtime. The account charged was 12s. Id.
He was then taken into custody.

The prisoner, in defence, said he was employed by the
prosecutors as their managing man, and gave out the work
to the workers ; saw it was properly done, and took it in.
When Mrs. Downey left he did her work, and did nut re-
ceive payment of any account for which the work_ was not
weekly done. _ _

The prisoner was paid wages, and not by piece work.
The prosecutors said they did not wish to press hard with
the prisoner—he had a wife and five children, and wished
the case to be tried before the Lord Mayor.

The prisoner was committed for trial, bail being refused

LAW INTELLIGENCE.(THIS DAY.)

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

IN RE T. HAWKINS.-TILE RIVAL OMNIBUS COMPANIES

Mr. Bagley, instructed by Messrs. Flux and Co., appeared
on behalf of the Saloon Omnibus Company, in support of
an application to annul the bankruptcy of this bankrupt,
described as of Charles-streit, Bayswater, brush manufac-
turer; Mr. Chidley, for the assignee, to support the bank-
ruptcy; and Mr. Doria, instructed by Mr. Clarke, Bedford-
row, for the bankrupt, and to renew an application for his
discharge from custody, the bankrupt having been taken
on an attachment from the Court of Chancery for costs of
proceedings against the Saloon Company, now in course of
being wound up.

Mr. Chidley asked for an adjournment, as the affidavits,
which were lengthy, had only been recently filed, and it
might be necessary to file others in answer.

Mr. Bagley opposed, on the ground that the whole pro-
ceedings bad been vexatious on the part of the bankrupt,
who was backed up by others, and that sufficient time had
transpired.

His Honour expressed an opinion that the petitioning
creditor's debt could not stand, as the debt had not bees
incurred prior to the bankrupt commencing trade, or during
the short time he was in trade.

Mr. Chidley said if his Honour was of that opinion, he
would substitute another name if time were allowed to
enable the creditor to prove his debt.

His Honour ultimately adjourned the matter of the peti-
tion till the 10th of October. Tho question of discharge
was adjourned till the same time—the costs reserved until
the case was decided.
