LAW INTELLIGENCE!.
COURT OF BANKI?UPTCY, Dec. 28.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
THE DORKING BANK.—IN RE NEAL.
This case was again adjourned for a week, by con-
sent, as it was originally argued before Mr. Commis-
sioner Goulburn. Renewed protection was granted to
the bankrupt, who was one of the partners in the bank.
THE CLARENCE, WINDMILL-HILL, GRAVESEND.—IN RE

wero minutely examined. It was then found that there
were numerous defalcations, and amongst other things
a receipt was produced by the prisoner for money which
had been given him to pay into a bankers,' which turned
cut to be a forgery. Pending the inquiry into his ac-
counts he absconded, but was afterwards apprehended.
Mr. W. Hayes, ledger-keeper to the banker whose
receipt bad been produced, proved that it was a forgery.
Several other persons deposed to having paid the pri•
sorter various slime of money which were not accounted
for to the complainant.
On a former examieation the Magistrate refused bail
in consequence of having received information that the
prisoner had previously been convicted of a breach of
trust while holding a situation in the Customs, and had
been sentenced to seven years' transpot talon.
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was commit-
ted to Newgate for trial.
CL ERKEN WELL.
On Saturday Thomas Kidd was brought before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, charged with annoying and threatening Mr.
Robert Barrell, a beer-shopkeeper in Whitecross-street,
under very aggravated circumstances.
The complainant, who seemed very dejected, stated
that the &tender-3 had seduced his wife, and is now
cnhabiiing with her, and, not content with inflicting
that son nets it jury upon him, they were nearly every
day et ming to hit house j(eriag him iu the presence of
his customera, and threatening hitn with violence. On
the previous afternoon they visited him as usual, when
the conduct of the accused was so outrageous that he
deemed it necesar3 for his sale:y to hand him over to
the custody of an efiicer.
Mr. TYRIVIIIIT asked the defendant what he had to
say fur such vile behaviour?—He answered in a sullen
manner, Nothing at all.
Mr. TYRWHITT told him that his conduct was dis-
gusting, for, not content with robbing the complainant
of the affections of his wife, he must add threats and in-
sult to that deep injury, and, had Mr. Barrell broken his
head instead of giving him in charge, no one could have
felt much surprised, or would have pitied him.
The worthy Magistrate then ordered him to find good
bail to keep the peace.
Margaret Kelly, an Irish girl, was placed at the bar
charged with stealing 27 sovereigns and some jewellery,
belonging to Mr. W. Anderson, No. 4, Red Lion-street,
Clerkenweil.

It appeared from the evidence, that about a month ago
Mrs. Anderton, from motives of charity, took the pri-
soner into her service to assist in the domestic work
until she could obtain a situation. A week back she sud-
denly disappeared, and, an investigation taking place, it
was discovered that she had staler] from the bedroom of
her benefactor 271. in gold, and several articles of plate
and jewellery. The active exertions of Fisher, a detec-
tive officer of the G division, being called in requisition,
be traced the prisoner from London to Cork, Ireland,
where he apprehended her at a low lodging-house.—She
was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
SOUTHWARK.
iFilliam Gill, a young man of respectable connexions,
many years confidential clerk to Messrs. Rosslin and
Co., timber-merchants, Southwark-bridge-road, was
brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with embezzling up-
wards of 4001, the money of his employers.
Mr. Goddard, of the firm of Goddard and Eyre, the
solicitors to the Merchants' and Traders' Protection As-
sociation, attended for the prosecution.
Mr. Goddard informed the magistrate that the pri-
soner had for many years held the confidential situation
of cashier in the prosecutors' employ. It was his duty
to receive all money on the part of his employers, enter
the same in the cashbook, and pay it in to the bankers.
lie left the firm at the latter end of October last, when
defalcations were discovered to a very large amount. A
communication took place between the prosecutors and
the prisoner, when the latter acknow led that be had
made use of money to a large amount. He called
Mr. James Jordan, who stated that he was a builder
at Paddington. He purchased a quantity of timber from
the prosecutors in March last, and gave a bill of ex.
change for 401. 13s. 4d., payable at six months. On the
sth of September he called at the prosecutor's counting-
house and paid the amount to the prisoner, who gave his
receipt for the same.

Arthur Lett, managing clerk to the prosecutor, said
that he had charge of the books. On the 30th of Octo-
ber the prisoner left his employers. On the following
day witness discovered the defalcations. He then sent
for the prisoner, and on his entering the counting-house
he acknowledged the fraud.
William Dowse, a builder in Great Guildford•-street,
stated that on the 20th of April he purchased timber
from the prosecutors to the amount of 21. 93. The re-
c,!ipt now produced was his handwriting.
Other cases having been entered into, the Magistrate
committed the prisoner for trial.

COLLISION ON THE YORK AND NORTH
MIDLAND RAIL WAY.
On Friday forenoon the inquiry which had been
opened by Mr. Pearson, the county coroner, concerning
the death of the three unfortunate men who lost their
lives by the late collision on the York and North Mid-
land Railway, was resumed at the White Swan Inn,
South Melford.
The names of the unfortunate fellows who were killed
were Joseph Garrick, aged 33, engine-driver; Martin
Tindall, aged 21, stoker; and
-Henry Varley, aged 55,
pointsman.
The inquiry being duly re-opened,
Henry Wainwright, station clerk at the Old Milford
Junction of the Leeds and Selby Railway, was the first
witness called and examined. He knew the deceased
man Varley, who had been poin!sman at the junction
for many years. Saw him a few minutes before the acci-
dent; he was perfectly sober. Noticed that he had hold
of the lever of the point to let the passenger train up the
line to Leeds. The deceased, Joseph Garrick, was
engine-driver of a passenger traiu passieg on the old
►ine to Leeds. Tindall was stoker of the same engine.
The train had been waiting on the junction about
five minutes before the accident took place, to take
in passengers for Leeds from the half-past seven o'clock
trai❑ from the south. The luggage train which came
from York had gone on the north branch, and paised on
the old line about three-quarters of an hour before the
passengers train came up. The accident happened before
lie was aware that any of the goods carriages were run-
ning back on the line. Ho had previously got into one
of the passenger carriages for the purpose of proceed-
ing to South Melford, where he lodged. After the
crash he got out and assisted two ladies from the nearest
compartment where he was: one was injured in the face.
There were fourteen carriages to the luggage train, and
he saw that nine of the waggons had broken from the
train, and had returned down the bank, coming in colli-
sion with the passenger train. The engine of the latter
was thrown off the line and broken. I saw the body of
Garrick lying between the two lines of rails. Tindall
was about two yards from Garrick; his legs
were off, and he was Trite dead. Do not
know whether there was a break to the last carriage
of the luggage train, nor whether the guard was on
the last carriage. It Has his duty to have been on
it. Four of the carriages that returned down the bank
had breaks, and if one had been applied the train might
have bee❑ stopped. Those who had charge of the lug-
gage train were Edward Grimston, the guard; Thomas
Uorrie, the driver; and Christopher Charlton, the stoker.
The nine carriages had each about three tons of goods
upon them. •
Other evidence being adduced relative to the mode of
coupling the waggons and their strength, the coroner
suggested an adjournment, the day having far advanced
and the proceedings were accordingly adjourned un
Monday.

THE COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL-
WAY.—The fears that were entertained fir the fate of
some of the unfortunate passengers who were hurt by
the collision on the Eastern Counties line during the
dense fog of Monday evening, are, to a great extent, re-
moved. Tho last report of the condition of the sufferers
in the London Hospital speaks of their favourable pro-
gress. Mr. B. Cooper, the eminent surgeon, at the re•
quest of the directors, on Saturday visited several of tho
sufferers who had been removed to their respective
dwellings, and they were also announced to be going on
favourably.

Wheat and main. laden vessels continue to drop
daily from abroad. As is usual in Christmas week 11(17
business has been transacted in any description of grelf.

tinued importations of the article, is very dull. All oth a
