COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE NICHOLSON AND STONE.

His Honour was the only sitting Commissioner, and was
occupied the whole 'of the rooming in hearing a disputed
claim made against the estate by Messrs. Sherrington and
Co., of Lyons, for a sum of £9,168. The case was dis-
puted on behalf of the assignees.

Tho bankrupts had carried on business in a very exten-
sive scale, as Nicholson and Stone, and:formerly Nicholion,
Stone, and Pascal, merchants, Cannon-street. Mr. Pascal
having retired, the business was continued by the bank-
rupts, and the question was whether one proof ought to be
admitted against the estate of the two, and the result will
materially affect the dividend.
The case was proceeding.

Th 9 examination meeting was adjourned, no accounts
having been filed, but are in course of preparation by Mr.
J. G. Bland, Basinghall-street, who states the debts about
£90,000, assets uncertain.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

LAW AND EQUITY-NOVEL DECISION.-HEALEY V. 'PARR,

This was an action to recover £lO Bs. ,for one year's
clothing and food of an apprentice, defendant being the
master.

Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, produced the indentures
signed and sealed, and in them was a covenant that de-
fendant should clothe and feed the boy. The lad was ap-
prenticed in 1859, and the father had fed, and lodged, and
clothed him ever since; but nothing had been claimed for
the first year, the present action being for the second.
Defendant said he had advertised for an apprentice, and
told plaintiff's father that the premium was £5O indoor and
£25 out-door. Mr. Healey said he was short of money, and
defendant offered to take £l5. To benefit the lad defendant
signed and sealed with him at Guildhall, paying £3 for his
freedom, so that in truth all the premium defendant got
was £l2. As to the covenant in the indentures, that was
to have been struck out.

His Honour—That is an equitable defence, and this is
not a court of equity. I will nonsuit plaintiff, who can then
try his hand in the superior court, where defendant can
plead his equitable defence.

Mr. Buchanan—Surely your honour will not do that in
the face of a document under seal.

His Honour was of opinion it would be the best plan, and
nonsuited plaintiff.

SECONDAE,IES co-uRr.
(Before Mr. Potter and Jury.)

MODERN MONEY LENDING. - SCANDALOUS CASE. -

DAMAGES £250.--.BIITLER V. (}EARNS AND tARRANT.

This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at
£5OO, sustained through the illegal seizure of household
furniture by defendants, the auctioneers and money lenders
of Bucklersbury, judgment being suffered to go by default.
Mr. Henry James, for the plaintiff, said this was one of
the most outrageous cases ever brought under the notice of
a jury. The plaintiff had a house lit Greenhithe in the
early part of the present year, and required a loan of £2OO
upon his household furniture. Applicaiion was made
to the defendants, and a loan granted for a twelve-
month upon a bill of sale, interest at the rate of 2} per cent.
per month being charged. At the end of a certain period,
however, defendants suddenly claimed £229, and put a man
in possession for eight days, and the money was ultimately
paid, under protest. Now plaintiff being well known at
Greenhithe, suffered considerable annoyance, and indeed
was much distressed. He (Mr. James) asked for heavy
damages, as defendants' conduct was most unjustifiable.
Mr. Butler was called, and said that all he received out of
the £2OO was £l5B. Defendants charged law expenses (bill
of sale), £l5 19s. for drawing up the bill of sale—(sensa-
tion)—£ls commission, and £lO three months' interest in
advance. (Sensation.) In addition to this defendants'
claimed at the expiration of three months £229 18s. 4d. A
man was in possession for eight days.
Mr. Denny, plaintiff's attorney, proved paying the money
claimed (L 229 18s. 4d.), under protest, and that defendants
refused to give a receipt for it. (Laughter.)

Mrs. Butler said she was in ill-health when Mr. Tarrant
made the seizure. She told him the loan was for twelve,
but Tarrant said three months.

The learned Secondary said—This was a very extraor-
dinary case, and defendants were not here to answer it.
Plaintiff was clearly entitled to have the £229 back, it hav-
ing been wrongfully demanded, and, in addition, to every-
thing the jury could give him in the shape of damages.
The jury, after a short deliberation, found for plaintiff for
the £229, and, in addition, damages £250 for the
.illegal
seizure.

POLICE INTELL IG EN C,E.--( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN APPRENTICE.—James Edmund
Davies, apprentice to Mr. James Barton, manufacturing
ironmonger, of 370, Oxford-street, was charged before
Mr. D'Eyncourt with embezzling various sums of money
received for his master, in all about £lOO.
Sergeant Joy asked for a remand, which was granted.

ROBBERY AT ST. MARY'S MISSION SCHOOL.—William
Martin, a young man, was ellitrged before Mr. D'HynCourt
with stealing a clock from St. Mary's Mission school
Princes-row, Newport-market.

Mr. G. A. Lloyd, the schoolmaster, said that yesterday
morning about 11 o'clock he saw the prisoner and a taller
man surveying the outside of the school and looking in at
the door where the contribution box hung. At 10 o'clock
last night, a lad came and gave him some information at
his house, and on his proceeding to the schoolroom h•
found the clock was taken away and the contribution box
had been wrenched off with great violence. He did not
know what the box contained, as it had been emptied of its
contents on Sunday last. The property was vested in Mr.
George Doughty and he believed the Rev. Mr. Chambers, the
incumbent. He believed the prisoner must have got through
the fanlight by cutting the rope attached to it, and then
sliding down a pillar and getting out at the back.
A lad named Thomas Lewis proved seeing the prisoner
and two others climbing on one another's backs against the
school, and seeing one of them pull out a knife as if to cut
the rope. He went and informed Mr. Lloyd, and after-
wards saw the three with two parcels like the clock and
box tied up in handkerchiefs.

Inspector Holden asked for a remand. The prisoner
last week was brought before Mr. Woolrych for being found
down an area, and discharged.
Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner.

IMPERIAL PARMA ill ENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tars DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
UNIVERSITY ELECTION BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.

On clause 1,
Mr. AYRTON said the question arose whether it was
necessary or advisable so to alter the principle of voting in
this country as to give one person authority, over another
person's vote in the election of a member of Parliament.
.He considered the principle laid down in the bill a
novel and startling one. He thought no such
necessity existed, and that if the Universities
maintained their peculiar and special franchise they must
suffer inconvenience, and be must therefore move as an
amendment that the words "name or names of-the person
authorised on the part of the voter" be struck out of the
clause.

Mr. DODSON denied that the bill provided for voting by
proxy. The essence of a proxy was, that a person delivered
over his conscience to another ; in this case Ike person hand-
ing in the voting paper would be nothing more than the
deliverer of the vote at the poll.
Mr. HENLEY felt it as a difficulty that a candidate
might start at the last moment, and it would not be possible
for the voter at a distance to know the fact. To obviate
that he might leave his paper blank or fill up
three or four papers to be delivered at the discretion of
the party to whom his vote was entrusted.
Sir G. LEWIS said the bill before the house ought to
be considered a very important one, because it intro •
duced a new mode of voting, and thereby establish-
ing it in the statute book as a precedent, which
would be most likely used as such in applications for
its extension to counties, and possibly to boroughs. He
thought the committee ought to see clearly the great
importance of the subject then under discussion before
they decided the point. He thought the gentleman
who had charge of the bill had not met the objection
of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets. The bill esta-
blished a totally new principle, of which he could net
approve.
Mr. LOCKE thought, if the voting paper was sent
direct to the Vice-Chancellor of the Universities, the ob-
jection would be met. But he must say he objected to
voting by proxy, and also by voting papers.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he should support the
amendment of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets as
he greatly objected to the system of voting by proxy.
Mr. HUNT observed that the plan on the bill
secured publicity being given to the votes. There
was also a provision which gave security against the
accumulation of voting papers in one hand. The with-
holding of a voting paper for any unlawful purpose was
made a misdemeanour, and provision might be introduced
preventing the voter from signing more than one voting
paper. If he changed his mind he might vote in person,
if his voting paper had not been previously used.
After a short discussion, _ _ _

Mr. ROEBUCK said, 'if it was provided that one and
only one voting paper should be issued, and which only
could be revoked by the personal appearanQe of the voter
at the poll, he did not see that any difficulty could exist.
[LEFT SPEAKING.]

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-JuLy 2.
BURIAL AND CEMETERY ACTS.

Motion made, and question proposed, " That an humble ad-
dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that her
Majesty will be graciously pleased to appoint a Royal
Commission to inquire into the operation and effect of
the several Burial and Cemetery Acts in reference to the
incumbents and ministers of parishes and districts in
England and Wales, and to the amount of and mode of
compensation, if any, to be provided for the loss of fees
or other rights and privileges occasioned to them by the
closing of churchyards and burial grounds under the said
acts." Question put. The House divided ; Ayes 48,
Noes 59.
