LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. CommisEioner Holroyd.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

SHAREHOLDERS SUMMONED.—A private meeting was
held to-day, for the purpose of examining certain debtors
to the estate of the above bank—a selection was made
of such class of cases so as to have the question of ha-
biFty raised.

Mr. Bazley and Mr. Linklater appeared for the assig-
nees ; Mr. Kennedy attended as solicitor to Mr. Thomas
Chester Mills, one of the shareholders summoned.
Mr. Mills, of Chester-cottages, Camden-town, clerk
in the London and Great Northern Railway Company,
was examined, and admitted that he was the holder of
six shares, on which a call of 501. a share bad been made
by the directors after the stoppage, but before the bank
ruptcy ; he had not paid the amount, because he was
confounded by the case being in the bands of the two
Courts, and he had been advised that the case was in-
valid. He also claimed to be a creditor for 490/. 16.. 7d.
on his drawing account, which was more than the amount
of the call. He was ready to pay to the proper parties
entitled to receive it.

After a few words the case terminated, hie Honour
observing that the witness had not said anything to pre-
judice him.

The debt will be enforced on the admission.
Another case was heard against the holder of ten new
shares under the supplemental charter, and he urged
that they were invalid by fraud.
This case also stood over.

Other cases were to be brought forward, but it is not
expected any decision will be given.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

The grand jury re-assembled this morning for the
purpose of proceeding with the cases against Price,
Burgess, and Tester for the gold robbery on the South-
Eastern Railway, and against Redpath and others for
the frauds on the Great Northern Railway.
The officials in attendance were the Lord Mayor,
Sheriff Mechi, Sheriff Keats, Under-Sheriff Crosley,
Under-Sheriff Anderton, Alderman Moon, Alderman
Farncombe, and Alderman Kennedy.
No charge was delivered to the grand jury.
Tn the course of the morning the grand jury re.
turned true bills in each case.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL OF A DOG STEALER.—Thomas Williams,
a dog fancier, was brought before Mr. Beadon on the
following charge :

Mr. John Davis, of No. 41, Broad-street, Golden-
square, deposed that on Monday last a valuable spaniel
dog was stolen from his premises, and in spite of all his
efforts to recover the same he heard nothing of it until
Thursday last, when the prisoner called upon him. and
said, "You have lost a dog, aint you, my friend ?"
Witness replied that some one had stolen his dog, and
he had been to the police about it. The prisoner then
said he knew where it was ; it was in the hands of a
dealer, who had purchased it of another man for
a pound, and if Witness would give him that amount
he thought he could get it for him. Prosecutor
consented, and the prisoner made an appointment
to meet him the following night at a public house in
Bethnal-green. Witness accordingly met the prisoner,
when the latter made an apology for not having the dog,
but promised to bring it to Keyes's public house in
Compton-street on Saturday night. In the meanwhile
prosecutor communicated with the police, and having
previously marked some silver, he with a constable went
to the public house in question, where they saw the
prisoner waiting. Witness asked for the dog, and pri-
soner said if he would pay down a trifle by way of in-
stalment he would fetch the dog. Prosecutor then gave

ls. 6d., when he left the house, followed by witness, who
gave him into custody for receiving money to restore a
stolen dog.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed
for trial under the sixth seotion of Bishop's Act.

THAMES.

UTTERING BASE COIN.—A. repulsive, rough-looking
fellow, who gave the name of William Connell, was
brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with passing a base
half-sovereign to Signor Joanna Lazair, an Italian, who
keeps a ginger beer shop is Rateliff-highway. The
prisoner and another man entered the prosecutor's
shop on Tuesday night last, and succeeded in passing
off a base half sovereign in payment for a small pur-
chase. The prisoner's companion received the change.
The prisoner almost imniediately detected the imposi-
tion, swore At the prisoner and his companion, and
demanded his silver which he bad paid away in change.
The two fellows ran away, and ape of them was im-
mediately captured, and stands remanded until to-
morrow. The prisoner was captured on Saturday in a
barber's shop, while he was being shaved, by Townsend,
54 H, who said he had been in custody before for a similar
offense.
Police-constable Purchase, No. 70 H, said he Paw the
prisoner and the man who was remanded in Ratchff-
highway on Tuesday night. He afterwards saw them
running away from the prosecutor's shop.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had
been repeatedly in custody for uttering counterfeit coin.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was before him a short time
ago, and his practice was to enter a shop with one or
two other men and pass base money. If the Mint autho-
rities did not prosecute the prisoner he would not go
through the farce of remanding any more utterers Of
counterfeit money. He remanded the prisoner till to-
morrow.
