LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 30.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RE TIBBETT.

In this case Matthew Toon Tibbett had presented a
petition about a fortnight ago, and the evidence occu-
pied two days. The petitioner complained that the mes-
senger under his father's bankruptcy had taken posses-
sion of his farming stock and Farcett Fen Farm, in
Huntingdonshire, and the Court was asked to order his
withdrawal.

ham after 18 years' service, having spent a great portion
of that time in India; ho was present at five general en-
gagements in that country, and the sabre mentioned he
brought away with him as a trophy from Alivval, and
which he was taking down to his family at Nottingham
to present to them. lle hoped the magistrate would,
upon this occasion, overlook what had happencl, and ho
would take care that nothing of the kind should occur
again.
Mr. ELLIOTT said that he could not pass over such
conduct without inflicting some punishment on the ag-
gressor, in order to impress the circumstance on his
mind, and that he should fine him 10s.

The defendant immediately paid the fine, his trophy,
the sabre, was delivered up to him, and ho marched out
of the court.

His Hosoua, in giving judgment, said that the ques-
tion was whether the property belonged to the assignees
of the father, or was it the son's ? The son, when he
became bankrupt, in 1849, delivered up no property to
his creditors, but, in a few months afterwards, he exl•
cuted a deed by which he agreed to ply his creditors
twenty shillings in the pound. Just before the bank-
ruptcy he had made a transfer to one Lamb, a relative,
and the deed of transfer was evidently a clumsy fraud,
for it contained many falsehoods. By the bankruptcy
he had obtained a temporary protection to his property.
He acquiesced in an adjournment sine die, and there was
an end to the bankruptcy proceedings. The conduct of
both the father and son had been such as t 3 disentitle
them to credit. The principal fact in the case was, that
the son had been the sole manager of the farm, but this
was open to the question whether he was not managing
it for his father, who was the real tenant, and to whom
the agents of tho landlord of the farm addressed all
communications respecting it. HO had been a non-re-
sident tenant from the first, having another farm at
March, about 14 miles from Farcett. He insured the
stock on the farm, and upon a fire occurring he received
the insurance. The father said he did so as agent
for his son, and that he handed him over the money,
but of this there was no entry in the books, and the
statement could not be believed. The father had
also been rated in the parish books, though the son
paid the rates. A beer house had also been taken
on the farm in the name of the father, but afterwards
transferred to the son, who then claimed to be rated.
A letter had been put in by which the father had re-
commended the son to pay his own rent in future; and
altogether it was a most suspicious-looking document.
It was dated the Nth of June, the father having pre-
viously dishonoured his bill;, and no doubt was con-
cocted for the purpose. Both the father and son were
cognisant of the facilities afforded by the law to persons
to shift property from one to the other; and the public
were indebted to Messrs. Harney and Co., the petition-
ing creditors, for entering into this investigation.
The COURT wile cf opinion that the property was that
of the father, and the petition must be dismissed with
costs. The papers put in evidence, which went to prove
the fraudulent transactions, the deed of composition
made by the eon, and another document, were ordered
to be impounded.
Petition dismissed accordingly.

WRECK of the ORION STEAMER.
HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.
The trial of Thomas Henderson, the captain of the
Orion, Mr. George Langleads, the first mate of that
vessel, and of Mr. John Williams, the second mato. fir
the shipwreck of the Orion in June last, off Portpatrick,
commenced in Edinintrgh on Thursday last, before the
High Court of Justiciary. On the table in front of the
judges' bench were placed a model of the Orion and
charts of the coast of Wigtownehire.
Special defences were lodged for the captain and
second mate, but none for the first mate. Iu these the
captain alleged that he had gone below to take a little
rest, leaving the vessel in charge of a competent officer;
and that after this the accident arose, from causes which
he could not control. The second mato set forth that
he had steered the vessel to the best of his judgment,
and that the accident had arisen from the deficient state
of the ship's compasses or other machinery, and that he,
therefore, was not liable.
The case for the prosecution was conducted by the
Solicitor-General, Messrs. Dees and Bell; Mr. Cravvfurd
appeared as counsel for Captain Henderson; Mr. Penny
for Williams, the second-mate; and Mr. Logan for
Langlands, the first-mate.
The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty.
Captain Robinson, R.N., deposed that ho had been
employed for several years in making a hydrographic
survey of Scotland for the Admiralty. Ile prepared a
chart of the coast of Wigtownshire. lie had denoted,
in a chart, the position of the wreck of the ship. The
port paddles lay 475 feet from the most distant side of
Outer Ward Rock, and 500 feet from Birnoch Rock.
There is a current of tide comes from the 13arnoch Rock
in the direction of the wreck. She was lying 30 feet
deep at the bow, ant 45 feet at the stern.
Cross-examined by Mr. Penny—The course of the
tide was close in shore. If the tide is flowing south, it
will interfere more or less with a vessel going north.
By the COUIIT—If the Orion had been its own length
off Portpatrick, steering north, it was in a wrong course
to avoid the Outer Ward Rock. If the parties iu charge
changed to north half-west, this would not be sufficient
to clear this rock. Looking to the breadth of the chan-
nel, witness did not think that any person in his sound
senses, looking to the nature of the coast, and going up
the Firth of Forth, would keep his vessel only a length
off to secure its safety. Looking to where the wreck
was lying, no course, consistent with safety, would allow
the vessel to be so near the coast.
David Walker, seaman, Glasgow, was on board the
Orion when lost. He was on board of l.er for eighteen
or nineteen months. Captain Henderson was the
master. Did not know who took the helm after clearing
the Hersey. Witness came on to steer between ten and
twelve. It was a fine night, but a little cloudy. There
was a haze hanging over the land towards the Mull of
Galloway. They made the Mull a little before twelve.
There was a light there, which he saw through the fog.
Left the helm near Dunman-head, which is between the
Mu!l of Galloway and Portpatrick. At that time he
thought they were unusually near inshore. It was in
George Langlend's (the first mate's) watch that he had
charge of the helm. Could not see in front of the vessel
when steering. When he was steering there were two
on the look-out from the paddle-bridge. There was no
look out at the bows. In steering they steered by the
compass when Laay. They took their courses from the
officer in charge of the watch. The land was visible all
the way between Dimmers-head and the Mull of Gallo-
way. The next watch to first mate's was the second
mate's. When that watch came on witness went
below to sleep. He was awakened by a crash, and
ran on deck, when he saw a few passengers
running on the foredeck, and the vessel close
on shore. He thought the vessel was going ahead.
He was not the first on the deck at that time. He ran
down below and put on his boots, and then ran aft to
clear away the lifeboat. The persons around it did not
sucacel in lifting it off for some time, owing to the stiff-
ness of tackle or weight of passengers in the boat. Ho
thought himself it arose from the weight of passengers.
It wat got off at last, and lowered into the water, and
got to land in safety. lie went up to the rigging, where
he was afterwards taken off. The Orion was at Havre
for a month or so, but was back about a month. The
vessel, after witness was awakened from his sleep, re-
mained afloat for about ten minutes. In case of emer-
gency the covers must be cut, but no knives were pre-
pared for the purpose. The carpenter tried to get the
groove in while the boat lay far under it. The proper
way of loosing a boat is to lift it out of the groove.
Cross-examined by Mr. Craufurd—Saw the land
plainly when steering. Was standing N.N.W. The
luxe was over the land. The steering was clear enough.
After he saw the larboard lifeboat launched, the vessel
sank in about five minutes. Did not see the larboard
quarter boat launched. Captain Henderson was on the
mast along with witness, and sent witness down to take
charge of a fishing boat, to take as many passengers in
it as he could. Did so. Captain Henderson was giving
directions before calling on the boats to come close to
the ship and pick up the passengers. Captain Hender-
son remained at the masthead while the passengers were
being picked up. Captain Henderson was taken off the
masthead after witness left. Went on the instructions
he got from the captain. The captain was on deck
during witness's watch, and looked at the compass more
than once; but could not say how long the captain was
on deck.
John Kelly, a seaman on board the Orion at the Vine
of the wreck, said that he took the helm from Walker,
the former witness. The night was calm, and observed
no fog. The vessel was to the south of Dunman-head
when he took the helm at ten minutes past twelve
o'clock. The vessel was close to land at the time; parti-
cularly so. Never was so close before. The captain came
on deck about ten minutes after witness took the helm.
and looked at the compass. The captain remained on
deck about five minutes after. The captain gave witness
no course while he was on deck; but the second mate
gave witness a course after the captain went forward.
The second mate had changed the course before the cap-
tain came on deck N.W. West. The second mate
changed it again before the captain came up, telling him
to keep her N. by W., which was still more in shore.
He changed it again to North half-west, a point
nearer shore. All this was before the captain
came on deck. The captain examined the compass,
but said nothing. The captain said something
to the second mate, but witness could not say what.
Did not see the captain again before the vessel struck.
The wheel was about a third over when the vessel
struck. The vessel went straight over when she struck.
Witness did not let go the helm. One of the firemen
came and said the engine-room was filling, and he did
not hear the motion after the crash. There were two
compasses on the Orion—one at the bridge and one aft
—when he joined the Orion. There was some variation
between the two. A third compass was put on the top
of the cabin companion at Havre, where they were for
six weeks. There was a great variation in the compasses
efer leaving Havre.
Cross-examined by Mr. Penny—The Orion generally
went at the rata of from twelve to fourteen knots an
hour. When opposite Duninan-heat?, saw the land
clearly. There was no fog on the water at that time.
The second mate sung out, when it was repoitsd that
Portpatrick light was seen, " Ay, is it now you see it?"
The fog came suddenly down between Dunshco and
Portpatrick. The second mate did not tell-witness to
starboard a little till they were abreast of the light at
Portpatrick. The fog was beginning to clear away when
they were abreast of the lights, and cleared away very
suddenly.
Robert Wilson and James Stewart, the two men who
were stationed to look out on the paddle gangway, the
former to land, and the oth: r to the sea, Rhea the
vessel struck, and during the whole of the second mate's
watch, which extended from twelve o'clock till four in
the morning. were next examined. Their evidence was
chiefly corroboratory of that given by Walker as to the
closeness of the land and the alarm which they ulti-
mately felt. Wilson, when the vessel was about Dun-
skey Castle, left the gangway, and asked Wiliiame, the
second mate, if he saw the land, and hew close it was I
Nothing appeared to have been done to alter the course
of the vessel and take it off the shore. When the vessel
was abreast of the pier at Portea'rielc, about 150
yards, he again left the gangway, and spoke to the
mate. He reported Portpatrick Light 15 to 20
minutes before the vessel struck. Stewart stated
that the ship was about two vessels' length from the pier
when they passed it. He sang out to Wilson when he
left the gangway the second time to speak to the
mate, " Keep the vessel off the land." Both the wit-
nesses stated that when they came on deck to go upon
watch the vessel was about half a mile from shore. The
captain came on deck about one o'clock, about three-
quarters of an hour after they took their watch, and
told them to keep a bright look out. The land was
visible at that time. They were at the time half-ray
between Millman-head and Port patrick, and the land
was visible during the whole of the time they were pass-
ing between those two places. Wilson also said that he
thought it was the weight of the passengers in the boat
whieeh prevented them getting the boats lowered so
easily as might have been done.
Duncan Campbell, a seaman on board the Orion, cor-
roborated the evidence previously given of the vessel
Leing so close to the shore, and said that he shouted
out, '• Hard a starboard," from a sense of the feeling of
danger.
Several persons belonging to Portpatrick were next
examined. Their evidence went to show that they had
seen the voasel passing close to Portpatrick just before
the ver. ck. They thought she was coming into the har-
bour, as she was so close to the shore, and as they had
never seen any large vessel so close in Were. They
expected her to strike on the rocks from the course she
was steering, and ran out of their houses to give the
attain in the event of their feats UN.; realise d.
finding she had stru:k, they put off a boat fel. the Ivied(
to render assistance.
Captain I'd ward Hawes, R.N., said it was neither safe
nor proper to have the life-boat covered, as was the ease
in the Orion. It aas also more safe to have the plugs
in the holes of the boat, or fastened by a lanyard, teed
also to have the oats in the boat. In the naval service
when a vessel was running ah the it
duty of the captain to be on the deck along with the
second mate.
Dogald Turner, the commander of the Clarence
steamer, between Grantors and London, deposed that

cidentally pounced upon him on Thursday in one of the
most public thoroughfares.
Mr. H. Luard, the manager of the Landon and County
Bank, in Lombard-street, said—Last May the prisoner
called on me at the banking-house for the purpose of
opening an account, and produced a bill of exchange for
300/ , purporting to be the acceptance of Mr. C. Bailey,
of Svvanscice6e, in the county of Kent, and dated the 21st
of May, 1850. On the first interview the bill was left in
my hand., in order that the necessary inquiries might be
made as to its resp, ctability. The gentleman who ap-
peared to be the acceptor kept an account at our Graves-
end branch bank. The result of the inquiries was
highly satisfactory, the prisoner having produced a
letter of introduction for opening an account, and no
suspicion having been entertained of the genuineness of
the signature. An account was accordingly opened on
the 25th cf Alay with the prisoner, and the bill was
discounted. In the course of the conversations which
took place between the prisoner and me he said that
Mr. Bailey was a relation of his, and had purchased
some land of him, for which he had partly paid by two
bills of exchange to the amount of 7001. Tne bill pro-
duced became due on the 24th of July, and was not duly
advised. I became alarmed about the business, and
spoke upon the subject to Mr. Bailey, who said that he
had not accepted any bill of the kind described, and it
was then distinctly ascertained that it was a forgery. I
knew where the prisoner lived, and the necessary steps
were taken for his apprehension. lam a shareholder in
the banking-house of which I am manager.
Haddiugton, the officer, said—l have bscn looking for
the prisoner since July last, but he had never been at his
residence in Camden-town from that time. I met him
in the Strand yesterday, and,
,going up to him, said,
" How do you do, Mr. Styles?' Ha at once said that
his name was not Styles, but Wilson; but I detained him
as my prisoner for the forgery. He observed that he
was sorry to be taken into custody, as ho was just going
to his solicitor on the subject of the bill.
It was stated that there was another charge of forgery
against the prisoner, who was some time ago tried and
convicted upon a charge of forgery. It was also inti-
mated that he is very respectably connected. He was
remand-d till Thursday next.
Therms Crawford, who was some days ago charged
with having stolen a number of gold and silver watches,
the property of Mr. Bennett, of Cheapside, watchmaker
and jeweller, by whom he was confidentially employed,
was brought up for final examination. Several pawn-
brokers at whose house the watches had been pledged,
were in attendance, and the justice-room was crowded
during the investigation, which occupied a great part of
the day.
The prisoner, who had been taken into the employ-
ment of Mr. Bennett more than eighteen months
ago upon the highest recommendations, had, it
appeared, commenced a system of plunder im-
mediately after his engagement in the house.
He not only pledged Mr. B•nnett's property, but
the watches which had been left at the house by cus-
tomers for repair, and he continued to evade suspicion,
notwithstanding the extraordinary delays which occurred
in the performance of the work, by attending to the bu-
siness of the house in the most punctual manner. It
appeared, too, that he had been in the habit of applying
to publicans and waiters for loans upon the valuable ar-
ticles which he bad approprioted.
Mr. Bennett proved that he had a very traclesmenlike
recollection of the various watches which were produced,
and to the identity of which he bore testimony without
hesitation, so that many of the pawnbrokers voluntarily
gave up the watches-upon sshich they had lent their
money, calculating upon the certainty of the result at
the Central Criminal Court.
At the request of some of the pawnbrokers who bad
bean subjected to this serious plunder by the prisoner,
Alderman Guns put questions to Mr. Bennett to
ascertain whether he nfght not have been mistaken in
asserting that he had not sold certain watches produced
as stolen, but the answers were positive, and were
further confirmed by the reading of a letter of acknow-
ledgment and contrition from the prisoner, which dis-
tinctly pointed out the psrtii s in whose possession the
watchrs had been left-, and with whom they were found.
Mr. Bennett said the prisoner, upon confessing that
he had been committing the robberies, begged forgive-

SOUTHWARK.
Tlifmaas Becit, a private in the Pith Lancers. wearing
three medals on his breast, was brought before Mr.
Elliott, from the terminus of the North Kent Railway,
charged with misconduct in one of the carriages.
Inspector Maddox stated, that on the previous night
the defendant got into a third-class carriage at Chat-
ham, and had nut been 1 ug inside before he caused con-
siderahle alarm in tie minds of the other passengers by
his
extraordinary conduct. lie had a sabre with him
betw€en five and six feet in length, which he drew from
the scabberel, and began to it wish about, exclaiming
that he had disarmed a Soikh soldier;of it at the battle of
Aliwel, and after wards run the owner of it through the
body. Ile amused himself in this manner for SOll3O time,
until at length, to the no imall delight of his fellow-
passengers, he laid by his sword, and commenced jump.
ing aboutt and while the train was at full speed he
shifted from one carriage to another, at the imminent ritk
of his life, and to the goat annoy ante of those inside, who
were chiefly women, and who it may be supposed were
very much alarmed in beholding such a fierce-looking
intruder in his regimentals and with his huge mustachios,
The gv.ard cf the train, when it was stopped at a station,
was informed of the defendants pranks, and ho immedi-
ately proceeded to the carriage in which he was, and ex-
postulated with him. lie observed that te defend ant
was under the influence of liquor, and hhe became ex-
tremely abusive, and again armed himself with the sabre,
threatening to cut down any person who interfered with
him. When the defendant get.into the train at Chatham
he did not spry ar to be in the slightest degree affected
with liquor, and from that circumstance it was strongly
suspected he had provided himself with what is termed a
pocket pistol of rum, which he imbibed freely on the
journey, and which in a great mu asure aczountod for
his extraordinary behaviour. Upon the arrival of tho
train at Londen-bridge the defendant was given into
custody. The sabre al:ud, d to wa-s exhibited in court,
aed was a mots formidable weapon.
Mr. FLU4'T said it was a pity that a man exhibiting
such proofs of meritorious service by the medals which
decorated his breast should have so far forgotten him-
stlf as to act in the
that, own folly, he might have sacrificed his lire
by getting from one carriage into another while the train
Was at full steel; it was also in ev.dence that he was in-
texicet.d;and that he annoyed the passengers.
The 6efendant, a soldier-litre man, expressed his regret

the captain, in such a passage as that of the Orion, ought
not to be in bed at all.

Junes Murray, a first class pilot on the Clyde, said
if a vossel in the merchant service was gin near a
coast at night, he was bound to keep on deck, what•
ever might be the weather. During what was called
the second mate's watch, the captain ought not to leave
the deck.

James Morrison, also a first-class pi!ot on tie Clyde,
gave evidence to a similar effect.

Captain Park, R.N., commander of the steam-ship
Dasher, knew the Portpatrick coast well. If he was
sailing there at night he would think it right to keep not
further in shore than 200 yards. He certainly did not
think it right for tho captain to leave tho vessel in charge
of any other person.
The trial, at seven o'clock, was then wljouracd until
