COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

This bankrupt was described as of Islington, milliner,
and to-day came up for his certificate.

The accounts appeared on a previous occasion, and there
was no opposition.
An immediate certificate of the second class was awarded.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

A VERY KNOTTY POINT OP LAW,-THE LONDON GENE,

ItAL OMNIBUS COMPANY V. MONELL.

This was a "running down case," and as soon as it was
called on, Mr. 0. B. C. Harrison objected to the jurisdic-
tion. Neither the cause of action, nor any portion of it,
occurred in the City, nor did the defendant reside in the
City.
His Honour—How can we tell that ?

Mr. Harrison—You can enquire. The alleged collision
took place at the Elephant and Castle.
_ _ _

Mr. Beard (for the company) did not support the case
after the objection.

His Honour—Then there will be a verdict for the de.
fendant.

Mr. Harrison—l apply for costs.
His Honour—How can I grant costs when I have no
jurisdiction.

It was suggested. by several legal gentlemen present that
there was a case upon the point.

Mr. Harrison—Your Honour's court is governed by a
special Act of Parliament—and in such a case as this may
grant costs.

His Honour—The case is a nullity so far as this court is
concerned, and, therefore, we can neither nonsuit the plain-
tiff nor find for the defendant. The proper course would
be to strike out the case, and I will consider as to costs.
After two or three cases had been heard,
His Honour said he should reserve the point.

BUS AGAINST DRAY.-THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS

COMPANY V. HANBURY AND 00.
This was a great battle between the great omnibus com-
pany and the great brewers, and the plaintiffs sought to
recover £5 damages sustained through the alleged negli-
gence of one of defendant's draymen.
Mr. Beard called a number of witnesses; and it appeared
that the accident occurred at the corner of Bishopegate-
street, upon the question of room.

His Honour said there was always considered room if a
wafer would go between, but the 'bus driver said that if half
a wafer would go between there would be room. It was
admitted that the 'bus had not been repaired yet, and Mr.
Palmer, for defendants, objected to the company receiving
damages when the 'bus had not been repaired.
Mr. Beard pointed out that the company were bound to
repair the 'bus.
Mr. Palmer called witnesses, and his Honour found for
the plaintiff £2 and costs, saying he should be very par-
ticular as to repairs being actually done.

This was a great field-day for the Omnibus Company,
who had fourteen or fifteen actions.

POLICE INIELLIGENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY AT A COURTiILLINER'S.—
Anais Chantegreil, described as a milliner, was charged
before Mr. Beadon with stealing an immense quantity of
silk, velvet, lace, and other articles, the property of her
mistress, Madame Ellen Ratters, court milliner, Berners-
street, Oxford-street.

Three large boxes, containing different articles, almost
sufficient to stock a shop, were produced in court.
Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prosecution.
The prisoner, it appears, had been in the employ of Mme,
Rutters about four months, as first-hand milliner, at a
salary of .E 52 a-year, and board and lodging, and in conse-
quence of a suspicion Madame Rutters communicated with
the police, which led to the discovery that the prisoner, dur-
ing the whole of the time she had been in Madame Rutters'
employ had been carrying on a systematic plan of robbery
—taking away materials of every description to the house of
a friend, and there having them made up, and using that
person's place as a depository for the goods.
_ _ _

Madame Rutters identified the property produced, of the
value of about £2O, as belonging to her. Madame Juquier
proved that the prisoner left a large box at her house full
of property, and was in the habit of making up articles at
her house, in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, of a
Sunday. A young assistant of Madame Rutters, named
Ann Elizabeth Shipper, proved seeing prisoner with some
of the ribbon in her possession, and other assistants also
proved seeing property placed away for removal ; and
Madame Blum, sister of Madame Rutters, proved seeing
the prisoner take a parcel from behad a glass case in the
workroom ; and Mitchell, 298 A, took the prisoner into
custody, and found in her hand a small paper parcel con-
taining ribbons belonging to prosecutrix.
In answer to Mr. Lewis, the constable said he found the
property produced at Madame Rutter's, in prisoner's box,
and also at Madame Juquier's.

After some further evidence the prisoner was committed,
but will be brought up again.
There is every reason to believe that Madame Rutters
has been robbed by the prisoner to an enormous extent,
the property produced being only a portion of that
taken; away by the prisoner.
