at £3lO, the expense of reducing a bond for £4,500, alleged
to be due by the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow"

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
THE LEATHER TRADE.-RE P. H. PAYNE.

This bankrupt was described as of Bermondsey, leather
merchant, and to-day was appointed for consideration of
his certificate.

The bankrupt had formerly carried on business in part-
nership with a person named Clerk, but they were com-
pelled to give up about 12 months ago, in consequence of a
loss of £lO,OOO by Davis and Co., boot manufacturers, who.
failed. The bankrupt continued the business on his ow=
account, and now owes £BOO, liabilities £1,600, assets £36..
There was no opposition, but his Honour said that with
such figures he could only grant a common certificate.

IN RE WM. CRAFT.
This bankrupt had carried on business at Maidstone as &
baker, and now applied for his certificate, supported by Mr.
Buchanan, Buinghall-street.

There was no opposition. From the accountants, Messrs•
Johnson and Wilson, Moorgate, it appeared that the debts
are only £3OO, but there was a deficiency in January, 1860,
of £lO6.

His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the
third class.

maker, ordered six silver watches, which were duly deli-
vered, but not having been paid for this action was brought.

at once for the plaintiffs.

Plaintiffs' counsel applied for a certificate for costs.

Counsel—Two residences. One at Switzerland.

ings for all purposes ?

dences a certificate is to be granted.

Judge at Chambers. I pass no opinion upon the matter,
but must refuse the certificate.

£149 4s. 10d. sustained through defendant's not accounting
for certain goods consigned to him.

and he had accounted for a portion, but not for a quantity
valued at £149 4s. 10d.

The jury, of course, found for the plaintiff for £149

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
BURGLARY IN ST. MARTIN'S COURT.—SINGULAB
CASE.—Two young men, named William Jones, 12, Cecil'
court, and Thomas Bunter, 18, Lumber-court, were charged
with breaking into and entering the house, 4, St. Martin's'
court and stealing several articles, tho pr operty of Henri
Barnes.

William Cordon, 536 A, said—At half-past one this
morning, whiln passing through St. Niartin's-court, I say/
the prisoners and another man at the door of 4, St.
Martin's-court. Seeing the prisoner Jones with a coat
on his arm, and knowing him as a companion of
housebreakers, I tried to stop them. The prisoners
ran into Cranbourne-street, and he followed them, calling
" Stop thief 1" and then saw Jones throw down the coat,
and in Newport-street Jones was stopped by 62 C, and the
other by 64 C. I brought back Jones to where the cost
produced was picked up, and he said, "It's all right. I
took the coat, but found it near the door." I searched
Jones, and in his pocket I found some matches correspond-
ing with some found on the stairs of No. 4. The coat pro-
duced is the one picked up, and is a constable's uniform
coat. Bunter said he had not been near the house.
Bunter—Not "in" the house.
Henry Barns, 197 C, and under gaoler of the court, said
—I live at 4, PA. Martin's-court, and am in charge of the
house, which is otherwise unoccupied, it being to let. The
coat produced is my uniform coat. I slept in the house last
night, and, unfortunately, rather soundly; and on being
awoke this morning by Gordon, 336 A, I found that the
house had been entered, and my uniform coat, a macintosh,
and a bunch of keys belonging to the court were gone ; also
a silk handkerchief, which I never expect to see again.
The house belongs to James Brownlow William Gascoigne
Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury, and must halo been entered by
means of skeleton keys.

Edward Henry Barns, son of the last witness, said-4
was the last up in the house and saw all the fastenings
secured.

This being the whole of the evidence, the prisoners, who
reserved their defence, were committed for trial.

A special meeting of the Council of India was
held yesterday for the election of a member in the place of
Col. Durand, C. 8., who has resigned, when Col. Baker, of
the Bengal Engineers, was chosen by a large majority. It
is understood to have been the intention of the Council to
elect Sir James Oatram, but the state of his health induced
him to decline for the present to undertake the duties of
the office. Colonel Baker has hitherto been Military Sec-
retary to the Council. The Secretary of State for India
did slot take au part la th@ olectim.
