His Honour gave judgment in the case of this bank- \
rupt, who was described as of Piccadilly, cigar-manu-
facturer, and who applied a few days since for her
certificate which was opposed on the ground that the
bankrupt bad made false and fraudulent representations,
and had concealed property. In the first place, when
pressed by a creditor for money she had promised part
payment ; and afterwards she said the firm, which was
carried on under the style of Pickard and Co., be-
longed to her nephew ; and that her brother, who lived
in the house, had fled with 6001.
His Honour said this was one of those cases in which
there was the positive oath of the bankrupt on one side
and facts and circumstances on the other, and it was his
duty to deckle on which side the truth 1-ty.
His Honour then proceeded to read through the whcla
of the evidence, and ultimately granted a certificate of
the third class.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.

The November session of the Central Criminal Court,
the first under the mayoralty of the newly elected, ',it'd
Mayer, Sir R. W. Ckrden, commenced this morning,
and, although barely three weeks have elapsed since toe
the grand jury were discharged at the last session, there
are more than a hundred prisoners for trial already, and,
in all probability, about twenty more will be committed
before the session is brought to a close.
The Recorder, in char4ing the grand jury, said
although so short a time bad elapsed since the court last
assembled, there was a large number of prisoners for trial.
It was a satisfactory fact, however, that there was not a
single case of murder or manslaughter in the calendar,
and although there were some serious cases of burglary,
wounding witb intent to do grievous bodily harm, there
was an absence of the graver description of charges,
which had unhappily been so numerous at some of the
recent sessions of the court. There was one case of very
considerable interest to the commercial world to be
disposed of, was a charge against two persons named
Marks and Simmons, of having obtaiatel goods to a very
large amount in anticipation of bankruptcy, with a view
to cheat their creditors ; aed there was also a
second charge of the same character against a
person named Skinner and some other defendants.
Although the cases were to a certain degree complicated,
be did net anticipate any difficulty would arise to the
grand jury. If so, the Court would most readily lend
them its assistance.
The grand jury then retired to their room.
The judges who will preside during the session are
Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Coleridge,

and Mr. Baron Watson.
It will be remembered that at the last session an
indictment was preferred against Lord C. Clinton and
a person named Jtffree for obtaining money from a
stockbroker in the City by the deposit of shares, the
transaction being alleged to be a fraudulent one, and
