LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.)
IN RE 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. Bigley appeared for the bankrupt and said that
the matter came before the court on an order made by
the L Justices, on an appeal against a decision of
Mr. C nornisc.ioner Evans, adjourning the examination
sine die. The learned counsel said that it was "mown to
the L'irds 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.
After some discussion, his Honour said the Lords
Justices had the power to pass the txamination, but
they had not thought fit to do so and he (his Honour)
did not see why he should be placed in the position to
interfere with the judgment of another commissioner.
He would, however, grant protection until the case
could be discussed before Mr. Commissioner Evans,

i pm

DISPUTED AD,TUDIOSTION.
Mr. Chidley said he appeared in a case of disputed
adjudication, and Mr. Bagley to support.
His Honour said he would take the case then.
Mr. Chidley objPcted to the case being heard in public
court, as the name of his client might transpire and
prove injurious to him, and would only gratify the
curiosity of bystanders who had no interest in this
affair. He (Mr. Chidley) had no doubt that he should
easily convince bis Honour that there was no ground for
the proceeding, which ought not to have been taken.
The case stood over.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE or ASSAULT AND RESCUING A PRISONER.—
Caroline Brewer, one of the class of unfortunates, with
Edward Kebble, 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 +Eatable Tyler said that about 3 o'clock that
morning he was on duty in CJventry street when he
heard a disturbance in Pant,on•street. He went up to
the opt and found Brewer fighting with another female.
He told her to cease, when she observed, "I am d
if I do." He 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.
The male prisoner said that be bad 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 10.., or in default
sent to the House of C rrection for ten days.
A NOTHEr. SIMILAR CHARGE.—Th no. Duffy, a mechanic,

immediately struck by him, upon which witness kntbr-
fered. He laid bold 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 ouliged to lave assistance to take him to the station-
house. The female has not attended to prosecute.
The prisoner was fined 203 , or, in default, 14 days.

THE LATE SEWER ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wm. Baker, the coroner
for the eastern division of Middlesex, resumed the ad-
journed inquest, at the London Hospital, 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.
Edward Alfred Stacey, of No. 4, East Mount-terrace,
Whitechapel, assistant-surveyor to the Board of Works
for the Whitechapel district, deposed that the three de-
ceased 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 ex-
cavating and destroying an old sewer for the purpose of
connecting the public and private drains and gullies with
the deep sewer in the middle of the Whitechapel-road.
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 filled. At the
point where the men were at work it was found neces-
sary to remove more deposit and bring up a 12. inch
atone ware pipe to connect the drains with the main
sewer in lieu of the old one. A tunnel bad beon formed
by the side of the gully on Monday afternoon, and four
feet of piping bad been laid down when the men left
their work on Monday evening. At six 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 Franke and Blnsham were standing on the top of
the hole and saw Fitzpatrick fall from the effects of the
rush of foul air. Ftzpatrick and Bingham died imme-
diately on the spot, and Franks expired shortly after-
wards. The man Goodyear went to assist the others,
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 excavation.
Joseph Wm. Ilizalgette, engineer to the Metropolitan
Board of Works, said that the present sewers were being
carried out by the Local Dis.rict Board under the new
Act of Parliament which referred particularly to main
sewers. Witness had received notice that work■ were to
be constructed in the district main sewer. On 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, bad
taken common precaution and had been used to the work
for years. There could be ao doubt as to the cause of the
accident.

Mr. Samuel Jessop Burch, the resident medical offi-
cer of the London Hospital, 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 sulpburetted hydrogen, Vk hich
was quite sufficient to cause death immediately. The
foul gas had 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. They had a small
machine in use in the hospital for disinfectiog rooms and
other places, which, no doubt, would have been made
useful in the present case.
Mr. H. R. Fricker, 9, Hampton-s'reet, Gray's-inn-
road, surveyor to the Whiteohapel District Board of
Works, stated that he had superinteuded the works in
consequence of complaints from the inhabitants of the
roadside in the Wilitechapel 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:—Toat 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 EXCFIA.NGE.

The arrivals of English 'Wheat fresh up, to-day, wero very
moderate, but the show of samples left over from Monday
and Wednesday was rather extensive. For all kinds we
had a heavy inquiry, at barely the late decline in value.
To have forced sales, further depressed sales must have
been submitted to by the factors.
Very little foreign wheat has come to band this week ;
but the show of samples, ex-granary, was large. The trade
was in a depressed state, and prices were almost nominal.
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, beaus, 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 supp!ied with
beasts, tha quality of which was inferiors 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 for lambs. In
the quotations, however, no change took plate. The veal
trade was far from active, and inferior calves were rather
lower to purchase. Pigs and milch cows were dull.
