COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—(mss Day)•

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
The cases during the morning were chiefly private, and
for the choice of assignees.

IN RE STEED/UN.

This bankrupt was described as of Albany-street, Re-
gent's-park, pianoforte manufacturer, and to-day came
up on his own petition.
Mr. Laurance said that in this case the bankrupt bad
assigned his property to trustees for the benefit of his
creditors, but had subsequently filed his petition is
bankruptcy. There was no desire on the part of the
creditors to interfere with the proceedings of the true.
tees in the collection of the estate, or on their part that
it should be administered under bankruptcy ; but the
Court would make an order that the trustees should be
repaid a sum of about 1701,, which they had expended
in carrying on the business, &o.
His Honour granted the order, subject to the inyesti•
gation of the items.
An application was then made for an allowance to the
bankru pt.
Mr. Laurance objected at the present, as the bang
rapt had received 1001. after be bad made the assignment'
and bad not yet accounted for it. The applications
therefore, stands over.

The accounts are in course of preparation by Messrs•
Paul and Turner, and a dividend of 108. in the pound
and upwards is expected. ,

CRIMINAL RT—{This Dap)•

OLD COURT.
The October session of this court commenced this
morning at the Old Bailey, before the Lord Mayor, the
Recorder, Mr. Alderman Hales, Mr. Alderman an
Sheriff Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Allen, and the under
sheriffs Messrs. Maitland and Parker. The calendar
contains the names of 155 prisoners.
The learned Recorder, in charging the grand jury) 01
that although a somewhat longer period had eleP"'
than was usual since the last session, it was to be e'
petted that the business would be greater,_ but that wt
not sufficient to account for the number of serious 017
contained in the calendar. There were five ehargeo
wilful murder, besides those of manslaughter, pedal'
burglary, and the other usual classes of stealing,
but none of them were of such a character as would b°
likely to give them much trouble. After entering hit°
the details of the charges as stated on the de ositioner
P eel
the learned Recorder referred to a charge of attee3P'id
extortion against a person named Rose. It TOPtit
appear from the deposition, that previous to the 1""
election in this city of Lord Mayor there was sorae aro
prehension of a contest, and a question arose relative to
the employment of the defendant Rose as an agot a
conduct the election for one of the parties. On vary,
occasions the defendant said it would be necessary '"er
the gentleman likely to he opposed to put down a larfbe
sum than that subscribed against him, to meet
threatened contest and secure his election ; and .01140
quently be produced certain handbills. The defends
having failed in obtaining the agency, then el" 0
papers should be published, and it was on that threib•.os
was charged, under the 6th and 7th Vic. - The que!tioi
f,,r their consideration was, whether the alleged tor 0
was made with intent to obtain an office of, profit ore,
extort money, according to the terms of the act, or you,
Cher it was made from a feeling of annoyance at not
raining the agency. It appeared to him (the 'earl;
Recorder) that if the evidence in the depositions e 0 t 4
be relied on, the threat was made by the defendant ;
gratify his revenge for not receiving the appointment t`ci
expected, and if so, it was not an offence within the
of Parliament.
