COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.)
FIRST APPLICATION UNDER THE NEW ACT FOR DIS-

CHARGE FROM CUSTODY,-RE GLASS.

Mr. Brough, instructed by Mr. Weston, Moorgate-street,
applied for the discharge of this bankrupt from custody.
This bankrupt had only been in custody three days, and
had made a previous application to Mr. Commissioner
Evans, who declined to interfere until notice had been

given.
Mr. Tees opposed on behalf of the judgment creditor, and
said that under the old act the Court, except under special
circumstances, refused to discharge from custody until
assignees had been chosen. The bankrupt had filed his
petition, and he (Mr. Tees) contended that he could not be
discharged until he had complied with the provisions of the
93d section of the new Act, and had filed an account of his
estate and effects. The opposition was not vexatious, but
as many similar cases were likely to occur, it was desirable
that the practice should be settled.
Mr. Brough said that the application was made under
the 11th section of the Act of 1849, and there was no rule
that the balance-sheet should be filed before discharge, and
he submitted that the Court had power to order the dis-
charge.

His Honour, after referring to the new act and rules,
said that the safer plan would be not to make the order
until the statement of affairs had been filed.
Mr. Brough said that could be done to-morrow, or even
to-day, and his Honour would, perhaps, direct that on
filing such statement the b mkt upt should be discharged.
His Honour said that the statement must be in court
before he could make any order.

The bankrupt was, therefore, taken back in custody.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MAR LBOROUGH-STREET.

DOUBTFUL CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A GROCER'S
FOREMAN.—Robert Newton Wiskell, a respectable looking
man, in the employ of Mr. John Timson, grocer, of Ber-
wick street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
stealing a sovereign from the till of his employer.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the prisoner.
Thomas Hustwick, shopman to Mr. Timson, said that on
the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner, who was fore-
man to Mr. Timson, go to the till and take a scvereign from
it, and retain it in his hand. He (witness) then sent for
Mrs. Timson, and subsequently Mr. Timson came. When
prisoner was charged he said he had been 12 years in the
trade, and denied the charge. The prisoner was not sober
at the time.
In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness said prisoner had
only been employed five weeks, and was paid his wages yes-
terday, he being under warning to leave. The witness also
admitted that he had not been on good terms with the pri-
toner, who had struck him. lie had seen 30s. in gold in
the till, and missed it after the prisoner had been to it, but
a boy had also been there.
Inspector Walker, C division, said be took prisoner in
charge, and found three sovereigns and 16s. on him. He
denied the charge, and said he should bring an action
against the prosecutor. The prisoner was drunk at the
time, and had sent for a cab to Mr. Timson's door to
leave in.

In answer to Mr. Lewis, the inspector said Mr. Timson
had paid the prisoner £2 Bs., and he found £3 16s. on him.
Mr. Timson said, in answer to a question from Mr.
Lewis, that he had a good character with the prisoner; and
that the reason why he was discharging him was because

he got drunk.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt the witness thought
the prisoner took the sovereign ; but there was not enough
evidence. He should therefore discharge prisoner.
