LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. C.Nurniesioner Pane.)

IN BE H. OSBORNE.

This bankrupt was described as of the Catherine
Wheel, Tchborne-street, wine and spirit merchant, and
licenced victualler, and to-day came up to pass his last
examination.
Mr. Esgley appeared for the bankrupt and said that
the matter came before the court on an order made by
the L Ord Justices, on an appeal against a decision of
Mr. Commissioner Evans, adj,uraing_the examination
sine die. The learned couneet said that it was shown to
the Lords Justices that the unsatisfactory state of the
accounts chiefly arose through a blunder ; but fuller
accounts had been made, and consequently their lord-
ships referred the case back to this court-
Aftr some discuvion, his Honour Paid the Lords
Justices had the power to pass the tx stnination, but
they had not thought fit to do eo and he (his Honour)
did not see why he should be place-1 in tho position to
interfere with ,he lodgment of another commissioner.
He would, however, gran* protection until the case
could be discussed before 11r. Cofetnissioner Evans.

I pm

DISPUTED ADJUDICATION.
Mr. Chidley said h appeared in a case of disputed
adjudication, and Mr. Bagley to support.
His Ron itir said he would take the case then.
Mr. Chit;ley object-d to the case being heard in public
court, as the name of his client might transpire and
prove injurious to him, and wield only gratify the
curiosity of bystanders who had Do interest in this
affair. He (Mr. Chidiey) had no doubt that he should
easily convince his Honour that there was no grand for
the proceeding, which ought not to have been taken.
The case stood over.

THE OLD HASTINGS BANS--IN RE SMITH, HILDER, AND

COMPANY.
To-day was appointtd for the lait examination of
Messrs. Smith, Scrivens and Smith, but no accounts
having been filed an adjournment became necessary.
Ttie debts are stated at spout 150,0001., and the as•
sets are estimated to pay 10h. in the pound.
Proofs were taken in a Second Court by tir. White-
head, the registrar. Nothing of interest occurred up
to one o'clock, some disputed proofs standing over for a
short time to be discussed before his Honoar, who was
engaged at a private meeting.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day).

MARLBOROUG 13-STREET.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND RESCUING A PRISONER.—
Caroline Brewer, one of the cia-s of unfortunates, with
Edward gabble, a respectably-connected classical lec-
turer, were charged, the former with creating a distur-
bance, and the latter with attempting to rescue her
from the custody of the police.
Police-c)nstable Tyler said that about 3 o'clock that
morning he was on duty in C )ventry street when he
heard a disturhauce in Pant-n-Areet. He went up to
the ep )t and found Brewer fighting with another female.
He told her to cease, when she observed, "I am d-
if I do." Ha then took her into custody. While he
and another constable were conveying her along the
street the male prisoner interfered, and tried to rescue
her from his custody. Witness was then compelled to
convey him to the station-house. The female had been
drinking.
Tee male prisoner said that he had no intention to
rescue the prisoner. He saw two policemen dragging
the female along the street, and he thought they were
using her too roughly, so he spoke to them.
The police-constable stated that he had a witness to
support his case.
Mr. Beadon remarked that in no part of the metro-
polis bad the police a more difficult task to perform than
in the neighbourhood of Coventry-street. He ought
not to have interfered ; and if he had any complaint to
make he should have gone to the station.
The prisoners were fined severally 10s., or in default
sent to the House of C .erection for ten days.
A NOTHEIt SIMILAR CHARGE.—Thos. Duffy, amechanic,
was also charged with interfering vrith a police-constable
in the x -cuti n of his duty.
E 101 f• ai .1 that between 12 and 1 o'clock that morn-
ing he was in Regent-street, when the prisoner came up
to him having a female in his company, and asked him
to mind her. Witness wi-hott to know for what purpose,
but he made no reply, and want away. Witness watched
him, and saw him go up to another female. She was
i umediately struck by hire, upon which witness inter-
fered. He laid hold of the prisoner, as he was given
into his charge by the female. While in witness's cus-
tody he made a most violent resistance, and witness
was ()aged to have assistance to take him to the station-
house. The female has not attended to prosecute.
The prisoner was fined 20s , or, in default, 14 days.

TDB LATE SEWBB ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wm. Baker, the coroner
f.r the eastern division of Middlesex, resumed the ad-
journed inquest, at the London H. -tspit:al respecting the
deaths of John Fitzpatrick, aged 22, William Bingham,
aged 26, and George Franks, aged 32, who lost their
lives in a sewer on Tuesday morning last.
Ed ward APred Stacey, of No. 4, Feist Mount-terrace,
Wbitechanel, assistant-surveyor to the Beard of Weeks
fur the Whitechapel district, deposed that the three de-
cesind persons were excavators. They were in the em-
ploy of Mr. Thomas Ennor, the build r and. contract .r
of Hardinge-street, Stepney. They were engaged in ix•
cavating and destroying an old sewer for the purpose of
connecting the public and private drains and gullies nih
the deep sewer in the middle of the Whitechapel-real.
The men had been employed about five weeks on the
same work. The old sewer was on the north side of the
main road, and the deposit had been removed from a
portion of the old sewer, which had been filed. At the
-point where the men were a, work it was feuni ►:eces-
sary to remove more deposit and bring up a 12-inch
stone ware pipe to connect the draine with the main
sewer in lieu of the di one. A tunnel had bean formed
by the side of the gully pn Mon lay afternoon, and four
feet of piping had been laid down when the men li ft
their work on Monday evening. At szc o'clock on Tues-
day morning Fitzpatrick entered the tunnel to proceed
with the work. At eight o'clock he had completed 10
feet more, when he placed a piece of board in front of
the pipe to prevent anything from passing down the
mouth of the sewer. He went back at half-past eight,
and Franks and Bme,bain were standing on the top of
the hole and saw Fitzpatlick fal from the effects of the
rush of foul air. Ftzpatrick and Bingham died imme-
diately on the spot, and Franks expired shortly after-
warde. The man Goody. ar went to assist the ethere,
but became affected, and fell across a raft of timber.
Another man, named Hives, also descended, and was
rendered insensible, although he had been cautioned.
The latter two were still alive in the hospital, although
they were insensible when taken out of the xoava
Joseph Wm. Bezalgette, engineer to the Metropolitan
Board of Works, said that the present sewers were being
carried out by the Local Dis riot Board under the new
Act of Parliament which referred particular'y to main
sewers. Witness bad received notice tt at works were to
be constructed in the district main sewer. Oa Tuesday
last witness visited the scene of the accident four hours
after its occurrence. There is a plan of detecting the five
noxious gases, and Dr. Letheby has the subject at pre.
sent under his consideration. The men, no doubt, had
taken common precaution and bad been used to the work
for years. There could be au doubt as to the came of the
accident.
Mr. Samuel Jessop Burch, the resident medical offi-
cer of the London Ho-pital, said the deceased were
brought to the institution about 9 o'clock on Tuesday
morning. They must have quickly been deprived of life,
owing to the poisonous effluvia arising from the mixed
gases which were disturbed at the opening of the sewer,
More especially from the sulphuretted hydrogen, which
was quite sufficient to cause death immediately. Tue
foul gas bad given forth a mephitic vapour to the in
mates of the various parts of the hospital. There were
no marks of violence, but every appearance of persons
dying from poisonous gas. The question was one of a
sanitary character, and no old sewer should be opened
during this hot weather. Measures might have been
adopted to prevent the deaths of the three persons by
better ventilation of the old sewer. Tney had a small
machine in use in the hospital for dieinfectieg rooms and
other places, which, no doubt, would have been made
usefuli the present case.
Mr. H. R. Fricker, 9, Hampton-street, Gray's-inn-
road, surveyor to the Whiteoleapel, District Board of
Works, stated that he bad superintended the works in
consequence of complaints from the inhabitants of the
roadside in the Whitechapel district. Witness had found
the basements of many buildings decayed, and the de-
struction of the old sewer was decided upon. The work
proceeded satisfactorily until the accident occurred on
Tuesday morning last.
Atter some further evidence the jury returned the
following verdict:—That the deceased persons died from
the noxious and mephitic vapours emitted from a sewer
in the Whitechapel•road, while excavating for an im-
proved drainage.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up, 0-day, were vary
moderate, but the show of samples left over from Monday
and Wednesday was rather extensive. For all ki, ds we
had a heavy inquiry, at barely the late decline iu value.
To have forced sales, further depressed sales must have
been submitted to by the factors.
Very little foreign wheat has come to hand this week ;
but the show of samples, ex-granary, was huge. The trade
was in a depressed state, and prices were almost nomibal.
The supply of barley was limited, and most kinds sold at
full prices.
Fine malt was firm, at late rates; but inferior samples
met a dull inquiry.
Oats, beans, and peas moved off steadily, at prices fully
equal to Monday.
We had a dull inquiry for flour, at previous rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
beasts, the quality of which was inferior. Most breeds sold
steadily, at fully Monday's currency. The show of sheep
was tolerably good, and the mutton trade was also firm,
at very full prices. We had a fair inquiry ft,r lambs. In
the quotations, however, no change took place. The veal
trade was far from active, and inferior calves were rather
lower to purchase. Pigs and mulch cows were dull.
