LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before'Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-PETITION.

To-day was appointed for hearing a petition for pay-
ment of a dividend on an assigned debt. The meeting
was marked in the official list as "private," but Mr.
Bayley, as counsel for Mr. Adcock, one of the claim-
ants, a-ked whether either party objected to reporters
remaining in the room
Mr. Marsden, for Mr. Adcock, said he saw no reason
that the matter should be kept private.
Mr. Pifford, as counsel for a Mr. Weather6eld, an-
other claimant, had not the slightest objection.
The case was then opened, from which it appeared
tbat a person of the name of Hunter bad made two as-
signments of his balance and on deposit notes for
1,0661. 10s. to Mr. Adcock and Mr. NVeatherfield, at
10,,. 6d. in the pound.
Mr. Adcock was called, and proved the payment of
the money for the assignment, and had applied to the
assignees and trado assignee to learn whether there
were any other claims, and did not know until he ap-
plied for his dividend that there was any previous charge.
Mr. Piff,rd said that as Mr. Weather& Id was too ill
to attend, and there was no proof that he had given no-
tice of his claim previously to the assi,:ninent to Mr. Ad-
cock, he would at once give up the claim,
An order was made for payment of the dividend to Mr.
Adcock, each party to pay costs.
There was an attachment on the dividend in the Lord
Mares Court on behalf of a Mr. Shuttleworth against
Hunter, which was agreed should be withdrawn, and
leave Mr. Shuttleworth to proceed against Hunter. •

INTEIigEIVTS AT THE NE TOPOLI,

LIVERPOOL.

LIMPOOL, Wednesday.—An important inqufry into
the truth of certain rumours of irregular proeeedings
in the interment of the dead at the Necropolis,
Low-hill, commenced yesterday at St. George's Hall,
before Mr. Holland, a government inspector.
The inquiry was prosecuted by Mr. M'Go wan, the
law clerk to the Health Committee, who stated that by
an order made by her Majesty in Couhcil on April 7,
1854, directions were given as to the course to be pursued
with reference to burial grounds in the borough, and
amongst them was an order regardingthe Necropolis, to the
effect that witb the exception of private graves and vaults,
no more than one body should be buried in each grave. It
had.been stated that in common graves it had been the
practice to deposit one day a corpse, and on the following
morning it would be drawn out again and buried in a
common receptacle with many other bodies, and that
practice had been repeated over and over again. Thus
in one form the order in council bad bee❑ obeyed by
depositing the bce'y in one grave, but on the following
morning it was removed to another part. Mr.
M‘Gowan added, with great regret, that eve❑ to these
statements he must add that it had been the prac-
tice to remove from the earth, bodies which had been
placed there under the supposition that the grave in
which they lay was to be their last resting-place,--in
fact, that some of the bodies, after being deposited in
private graves, bad been removed, and those graves bad
been disposed of again to other parties as new graves.
He concluded by stating that by the act 18 and 19 Viet.,
cap. 128, sec. 8, any person having the care of a burial-
ground who should violate or neglect the specified regu-
lations, should, on conviction, forfeit the sum of 101. He
then proceeded to call several witnesses. The proceed•
ings were adjourned.
