IN RE MORGAN.

The b tnkrupt was described as of Greenfield-street,
Whitechapel, draper, and this was an examination.

The accounts are very voluminous, in consequence of the
great number of accounts, and Messrs. Johnson and Wilson
asked for an adjournment for a month.

Mr. J. G. Bland, accountant, Basinghall-street, is
engaged on behalf of several creditors.

Mr. Bishop appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Pork
for the bankrupt, who had been released from custody in
the Queen's Bench Prison by order of this Court.

IN RE CROFT.
This bankrupt was a confectioner at Maidstone, and this.
was an examination meeting, but Messrs. Johnson arid
Wilson not having had sufficient time to prepare the ac-
counts, an adjournment was granted.

In this case the plaintiff had been mixed up in the recent
great failures in the leather trade, and especially with
Lawrence, Streatfield, and Co. The case has been very
fully'reported. His Hondur now awarded an immediate
certificate of the second class.

CENTRAL clinvr vAL COURT—(Zhis Day).

OLD COURT.
MA.NSLAUGHTEII.
An Italian named Parrieto was indicted for the man-
slaughter of a militiaman named Lynch.
The original indictment against the prisoner was for mur-
der, but that the grand jury ignored ; and, therefore, the
prisoner was tried for the minor offence.
From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was in
the Magpie public-house at Richmond, where the prisoner
(a street organist) and his wife were present. Some joking
began, and the militiaman asked the prisoner's wife to
go to the bar for a pint of beer. This the prisoner
thought an insult, and he was greatly enraged at
it. Lynch, the deceased, and the other men still kept
" chaffing" the foreigner until he became so excited that he
stabbed Lynch with a knife in such a manner as to cause
death very shortly after.

The jury found the prisoner
guilty of manslaughter but
recommended him strongly to mercy on account of the great
provocation he had received.
The Learned Judge sentenced him to 12 mouths' impri-
sonment.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
THE GREAT SILK ROBBERY.
William Crane, Peter Debock, Joseph Barker, and John
Newton, were indicted for stealing a large quantity of silk
from a barge near the London Docks.
The facts of this extensive robbery have appeared in
The Sun, during the examination of the prisoners before
the magistrate, at the Themes Police-court.
All the prisoners pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine defended Newton, Mr. Sergeant
Parry, Debock ; Mr. Sleigh, Crane ; and Mr. Cooper,
Barker. The prosecution is conducted by Mr. Giffard and
Mr. Poland.

From the great number of witnesses to examine, it is not
likely the case will conclude before to-morrow evening.
