COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—(This Day).

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

The cases during the morning were chiefly private, and
(or the choice of assiL zoos.

IN RV STEEDMAN.

This bankrupt was described as of Albany.etreet, Re-
gent's-park, pianoforte manufacturer, and to-day came
up on his own petition.
Mr. Lawrence FDA that in this case the bankrupt bad
assigned his property to trustets for the benefit of his
icreditors, but had subsequently filed his petition in
bankruptcy. Thera was no desire on the part of the
creditors to interfere with the proceedings of the true•
tees, is the collection of the estate, or on their part that
it siaoul i be administered under bankruptcy ; but the
Cos rt would make an order that the trustees should be
repaid a sum of about 1701., which they had expended
in carrying on the besinees, &c.
His Hon'aur granted the order, subject to the investi-
gation of the items.
An application was then made for an allowance to the
bankrupt.

Mr. Lav vrance objected at the present, as the bank
rupt bad re ceived 1001. after be had made the assignment,
and had not yet accounted for it. The application,
therefore, stands over.

The at counts are in course of preparation by Mears.
Paul and Turner, and a dividend "of 108, in the pound
and upw mrds is expected.

(JRIMINAL COURT—{This Day).

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 aeci.
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, said
that nithough a somewhat longer period had elapsed
than was usual since the last session, it was to be eV
pocted that the business `,could be greater, but that via°
not sufficient to accoue:c for the number of serious 0301
'endar. There were five charges of
cwoiulitvali nmurder,
h eal
be Ides
Ades those of manslaughter, perjury,
burglary,utnone ',he other usual classes of stealing, Jo.,
b
'am were of such a character as would be
likel y to Rive them much trouble. After entering into
of t and
the details of the charges as stated on the depositions,
the le arced Recorder referred to a charge of attempted
extort) on against a person named Rose. It wool°
appear from the deposition, that previous to the loot
election in this city of Lord Mayor there was some sir
preher L&on of a contest, and a question arose relative t°
the el pployinent of the defendant Rose as an agent to
condo ,ct the election for one of the parties. On various
occasi ,olis the defendant said it would be necessary for
the r;en,tleman likely to be opposed to put down a larger
sum tb ,an that subscribed against, him, to meet the
thrnate ned contest and secure his election ; and Inbie:
quentl3 ,be produced certain handbills. The defendant
having failed in obtaining the agency, then said tit
papery should be published, and it was on that threat b•
was charged, under the 6th and 7th Vic. The questioa.
for t ,heir consideration was, whether the alleged threat
was made with intent to obtain an office of profit or to
