LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Westminster, Sept. )3.
WILSON L. COLSON.

Mr. BAZALGETTE stated that the plaintiffs in this
case were the proprietors of the well-known omni-
buses called the " Favorite," which start frorn:Highgate
and Hornsey, some going to Westminster, and others
to the City and the South-Eastern Railway. It ap-
peared, from the opening statement of the Learned
Counsel, that the plaintiffs had been established at
Islington for twenty years, and first used and em-
ployed omnibuses between Highgate and the Bank of
England, which were painted green, in the same
manner as their omnibuses were then painted,
and that they then took and adopted the name or
word " Favorite" as a distinguishing mark of their
omnibuses, by which all of them have ever since been
known. That the defendant, also an omnibus pro-
prietor, and who, in the year 1847, sold his interest
in his omnibuses, called the Emperor and Hope, had
commenced running an omnibus with the name
"Favorite" painted on a green ground, and so much
like the plaintiffs' that the public were deceived by
its appearance, and thereby the plaintiffs sustained
great injury. He moved for an injunction to restrain
the defendant from running the omnibus complained
of. The injunction was asked for in the same terms
as had been granted by his Lordship in another omni-
bus case of a precisely similar description, of the name
of " Knott v. Morgan."
Mr. BEALES, on the part of the defendant, con-
tended that these were many points of difference
between the omnibuses of the plaintiffs and defen-
dant. The name " Favorite " was certainly
*the .same, but the green ground was of a darker
colour, and instead of " Brighton Railway" there
was painted on his omnibus " Tne South-Eastern
Railway," and the defendant had a red flag with
white letters, whereas the plaintiffs had a]white flag
with black letters. He also contended that the Court
had never granted an injunction in any case against
the use of a name simply, unless the name of the
party, or of his firm, was connected with it.
The MASTER of the ROLL!, without hearing the
reply, said it appeared to him that the defendant in
setting up the omnibus painted and decorated in the
mode described, did intend the public to believe that
it was the omnibus of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs had
run their omnibuses for twenty years, and it was im-
possible but to believe that people must suppose the
defendant's omnibus belonging to the plaintiffs. The
present was no new device, but it was "similar
to what was often seen over shop windows—the same
name is painted, but then a little letter is put in a
scroll over it, which being read explains it ; but that
was generally overlooked. The defendant was en-
titled to run his omnibus, if lie did it without fraud on
the plaintiffs ; therefore the order he should make
would be to restrain the defendant from running an
omnibus having painted upon it the word "Favorite"
in.such colours, or in such manner, as to be a colour-
able imitation of the words or devices painted on the
omnibuses of the plaintiff.

WILSON V. AT►ASS.

The facts of this case were similar to the last.

Mr. ROXBURGET, who appeared for the defendant,
stated that there was no intention on the part of the
defendant to continue running the omnibus.
The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that being so
he would not grant an injunction, but allow the mo-
tion to :stand over, giving the plaintiffs liberty to
apply in case the defendant again attemped to run
his omnibus.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 13.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANS.)

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF WILLIAM FOSTER NEWTON.
The bankrupt, who carried on the business of mil-
liner and dressmaker in Dover-street, Piccadilly,
came up on the question of certificate, supported by
Mr. Lawrence, and opposed by Mr. Parry, on behalf
of the assignees. The debts and liabilities are 8,687/. ;
the assets, Mr. Parry stated, will not realise a larger
dividend than between 3s. and 4s. in the pound. The
trade
of
fd parsonal expenditure, extending over the
trading, three and a half years, were 6,595/. ;
perioda
the profits were 5,4511.
Itbe assets, as set forth in
the,wi,hh ei whilst
balance-sheet,
nature thean
cl
eo
-sassoehdse
eatt were
owuesnr,t of oeo--9good debts, 1,887/.•' pro-
perty, 505/. The charges preferred against the bank-
rupt were reckless trading, false and fraudulent re-
presentations to creditors, mutilating his boolo, and
undue preference to Messrs. Harding and Smith, of
Pall-mall, who had been his principal creditors.
Mr. PARRY asked the Court to withhold the cer-

tificate altogether.
As regarded the first charge, the Court expressed
no opinion upon it. The proofs brought in support
of it were the figures of the balance-sheet, and it was
further alleged that the bankrupt had not taken
stock from June, 1848, to the period of the issue
of the petition in May, 1850. The second charge
was founded upon these circumstances :—ln 1848 the
bankrupt owed Messrs. Harding and Smith nearly
4,000/. They sent in accountants, whom it was al-
leged the bankrupt deceived by suppressing a debt to
his father of 1,300/.—a liability to Thorns-, the per-
son from whom he had bought *the goodwill of the
business, of 2,500/. ; and that he had set forth as
assets 6001. worth of furniture, which he was about
to settle on his wire. Tne result of the statement
was, that the bankrupt appeared to have a surplus of
3,0001, whereas, had those deductions been male, a
balance of 1,4001. would have been shown against
him. Mr. Lawrance gave this explanation of the
matter :—He said that the statement in question was
drawn up solely from Messrs. Harding and Smith,
who were aware of the debt and liability in question ;
that with respect to the father's claim the bankrupt
knew it would not be pressed ; and in respect to
Thomas's, although it was true it had not been men-
tioned, yet neither had the bankrupt set forth as an
asset the goodwill of the business, which he possessed,
and out of which the liability accrued. The 6001.
worth of furniture was only to be settled on
his wife on condition of an equivalent in money
being thrown into his business. The Cotninis-
sioner considered those explanations satisfactory,
although Mr. Atkinson, of the firm of Atkinson,
Foster, and Co., who are now creditors to the amount
of 6801., swore that the bankrupt obtained 300/. worth
of goods from them upon the belief that the statement
of his affairs, in which he appeard with a surplus of
3,0001., was a bona fide one, and this witness posi-
tively declared they would not have entrusted him
with their goods if they had known that Newton
owed his father 1',300/., and was under a liability of
2,5001. to Thomas. Another creditor, Mr. White, of
the firm of Finley and White, Regent-street, deposed
to a similar effect. Tne bankrupt alleged that at:the
time he obtained the goods of Messrs. Atkinson and
others he believed he was solvent, and that he would
be able to pay all his creditors in full, but his busi-
ness had been injured by circulars, which the account-
ants called in, and Messrs. Harding and Smith had
sent to his debtors.

The COMMISSIONER was of opinion that the bank-
rupt had not committed nor intended to commit any
fraud. He doubted the statement of Mr. Atkinson
that his house would have refused further credit had
th9y known the exact position of his affairs. Having
repeated his belief that the bankrupt was incapable
of committing any fraud, and that he had acted as an
honest man, the Commissioner granted at once a first-
class certificate.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
John Crosby, alias Captain Crosby, R.N., wag
brought bef,re Alderman Carden for final exami-
nation:

The justice-room was, long before the prisoner was
put to the bar, crowded with people, some of whom
had seen him act in a very eccentric manner.
Mr. Hobler attended for him.
Mr. Henry Stapleton, a clerk in the Admiralty-
office, said—l have a register of the captains in the
Royal Navy. The name of John Crosby is not
amongst them. I cannot say that the name has not
been on the list for the last three years, but no such
person is on the list at present. It is published an-
nually by Murray, and settled from our office. I
know that Admiral Beaufort is hydrographer to the
Admiralty. I have no knowledge that the admiral
is about to vacate his place. If he had any intention
of the kind it would have come to my knowledge.
Commissions issue from our office.
Alderman CARDEN—What rank does the distinc-

tion of three rows of golf lace upon the cuff of the
coat designate? Witness—That of post-captain.
Alderman CARDEN—Hui you the name of Captain
Lizee ujaiii the la3t ? (excintthing the list)
—Aaron Tozer is entered in the list as a captain
since the 14th of January, 1833.
A gentleman, who stated his name to be Wiggan,
here stepped into the witness-box and said he wished
to state what he knew of the prisoner.
Alderman CARDEN—Is what you have to site cal-
culated to benefit the prisoner ? Mr. Wiggan—l
think it is, and I am very desirous to make the re-
presentation.
Alderman CARDEN—You are quite at liberty to
make it.

Mr. Wiggan—l reside at Stafford-row, Bucking-
ham-gate, and I became acquainted with the prisoner
last winter, and was in conversation with him daily
for a considerable time. I could not come to any
conclusion about him but that he was at intervals and
upon certain subjects quite crazy. He told me and
the landlady of the house the most fantastical lies
that could have occurred to the imagination of a man
on the subject of his connexion with the Admiralty,
and without having any intelligible motive for ut-
tering such follies, for he paid his way in
the most exact and Lonourable manner, and
did not contract debts in the neighbour-
hood nor manifest any disposition to incur any. His
landlady for some time placed reliance upon his
promises to render her extraordinary services by his
influence at the Admiralty, and had nearly run the
hazard of great inconvenience in consequence of her
credulity. He volunteered vast advantages to me,
too, from the same source, so that it became quite
impossible for me to think of him but as a person out
of his senses. I subsequently called on his landlady,
and she told me that he had in the interim called
upon her spontaneously, and stated that he was going
upon a mission to Spain, end was then superinten-
dent of stores at Deptford Dockyard, and had it in
his power to do great things for her there. The
whole of this representation was as groundless as the
other. There was not a syllable of truth in it. He
abounded with the rocs*, ridiculous fables, and we
could not detect anything like a motive. There was
a decided contrast between his conduct on subjects of
this kind and other matters. He was certainly liable
to periodical attacks of delusion, and he manifested
delusion in a very strong degree in describing a con-
flict in which he had been engaged in the Brazils.
Alderman CARDEN-lle showed that he had a mo-
tive in telling falsehoods to Mr. Taylor, for he con-
trived, by representations just such as have been
described, to induce that gentleman to hand him over
from time to time money to the amount of GU, and
to give him for months the hospitalities of his house.
Mr. Wiggan—Having seen the accounts in the
newspapers, I came here to state what I knew of him,
in the expectation that I migkit be of some service in
showing that I had reasons for believing that he
really laboured under delusion when he told these
fantastical lies, which no man with his intellect about
him could have thought of uttering. As I said before,
the monstrous falsehoods he told were completely
m otiveless.

Alderman CARDEN—He has turned them into ac-
count elsewhere, it is quite evident.
Mr. Wiggan—lt appeared from the reports that he
was considered to be a man of education. I assure
you that there is no Foundation for that statement.
He is not an educated man. It will be found, upon
examination of his head, that outside there are several
depressions; and I ne?d not tell you what strange
effects may be produced upon the brain by external
injuries. We are not yet sufficiently acquainted
with the subject as to be able to pronounce as to how
far a man's moral responsibility may be affected by
external accident. My impression is that he labours
under periodical delusion.

Alderman CARDEN—You have acted with great
kindness in coming forward to make this statement,
and the repetition of it elsewhere may be of use to
the prisoner, whom I ;:onsidc,r it to be my duty to
commit for trial to the Central Criminal Court.
It being necessary that a slight addition should be
made to the evidence in order to render it complete,
Alderman CARDEN directed that the prisoner should
be brought up again to-morrow (this day), for the
purpose of being committed in due form.
