Morton, a linen-draper, formerly carrying on an extensive
tally-trade in the Borough, and the present action was
brought to recover 11/. 17s. Id. from the defendant,
also a linen-draper in Lambeth, for book-debts purct Lased
by him.
Anthony M'Dowell, one of the assignees, stated that
shortly after the bankruptcy a meeting of creditors was
called, when it was resolved to sell the bankrupt's bc
ok-
debts
we byre public aution. Advertisements, amount ling
t, published, and the auction took plac eat
Gerard's Hall, when the defendant became the purchaser
of one of the books for 11/. 17s. Id., and on his fai, ling
to make the payment the present action was broul ;ht.
The debts in question formerly belonged to Mr. Allis, ter,
a bankrupt, and were bought by Gavin Morton, who lied
not collected them.
Mr. CIIARNOCK contended that the books were useleilst
as the defendant had not the least title to collect theta
from the bankrupt. There ought to have been a rows:
of attorney from Mr. Allister to the plaintiffs.
His HONOUR, considered that such was not required.
The defendant had made a Lona fide purchase with him
eyes open.
Mr. CUARNOCX said that the debts were useless. His
client attempted to collect them, but he oould not get *
farthing from any of the parties.
Mr. CATLIN, for the plaintiffs, informed his Hronour
that the defendant purchased the debts at 2s. 7d. in the
pound, and he knew there was a risk in getting all the
money. Had it been all good and easy to collect, the
assignees would not have sold them.
Mr. Crunstoes. having addressed the jury at some
length, a verdict was returned fdr the plaintiffs.

_LDHALL.—(THIS DAY.•) Mary Ann Scott was charged before Mr. Al Berman
Sidney with stealing a quantity of fur from her em-
ployer.
Charles Davy stated that he was a furrier, and the
prisoner was in his employment. This morning,. when
the prisoner left his shop, ho missed one of three boas
which he had placed on the floor. lie ran aft,w the
prisoner and fetched her back, when she took the boa
from under her shawl, and threw it under a bench. She
afterwards confessed that she had pledged two of hers.
He had told her that if she confessed he would let
her off.

Police-constable 268 took the prisoner into mist ody,
and the female searcher found several duplicates on her,
some of which were for pieces of fur.
Prisoner said she could not get her wages, and- that
was the reason she took the goods.—Remanded. I

The whole of the persons (upwards of 300) em-
ployd by Mr. Humphrey Brown, A .1. ~ of Tewkesbury, have
subscribed a penny each to the Peel Testimoaial.—Cnou-
cester Journal.
GALLANT CONDUCT.—Yesterday afternoon, about
half-past three, a young lad, aged sixteen, who had foollshly
gone into Dunsapie Loch to rescue his dog, which had got
entangled amongst the weeds at the bottom, very nearly lost
his life by his temerity. The boy had incautiously gone
beyond his depth, and during his struggles many had
gathered around the margin of the loch, but none offeired
any assistance until Mr. Brown, of the Robin Hood Tavern,
Register-street, who happened to be passing at the tin.ie,
witnessing the lad's imminent danger, plunged into the hoc h
and succeeded in bringing him safely ashore. On being
taken home to Duddingaton, the lad speedily regained hint.-
self, and he is now quite well. Mr. Brown, fortunately was
none the worse for his timeous exertions.-- Caledonian
Mercury.

THE CITY OF GLASGOW STEAMER.—GLASGOW,
Ocr. s.—This fine screw-steamer sailed this forenoon from
Glasgow on her fourth voyage to New York. She carries
130 passengers, and a full cargo, consisting principally of
manufactured goods of great value,
,a good deal of which
were consigned from Lancashire. lhis is the last trip which
the City makes from Glasgow, as she has been sold within
the last few days to Messrs. Richardson Brothers, of Liver-
pool, by whom she will be employed as a steam-liner between
this port and Philadelphia. She makes her first trip from
Liverpool in December next. The removal of the City of
Glasgow from the Clyde has caused much regret here, espe-
cially after she has proved that by her moderate fares tato
trade may be exceedingly remunerative. A company oras
on the eve of being got up for the purpose of adding a c 0.7-
sort, and fully developing this thriving trade; but a screw
got loose, and it has for the time failed.; Messrs. Tod and
Macgregor, the owners, are not merchants our shipbrokersr
but shipbuilders, and they accordingly have embraced a very
handsome offer, and disposed of the vessel to the gentlemen.
abovenamed. Messrs. Tod and Macgregor have also been
commissioned to lay down immediately a still larger and
more powerful steamer, as a consort to the City on her new
station, to be named the City of Philadelphia. Now that
the direct steam route between Glasgow and New York is
interrupted, the merchants of the former city are likely to
have cause for regret for not "striking while the iron WAS
hot," and missing the opportunity of forming a compapl
when it could have been done under Audi favourable cir-
cumstances.

Mr. NORTON, who appeared for a creditor, called his
Honour's attention to an order which had been =West •
the last meeting for the payment in full of a sum of
money alleged to have been received as treasurer of a •
building society; but the fact was, that the money had
not been received by the bankrupt, but by a person who
had been employed to collect the moneys, and had been
engaged under a former treasurer.
His Hosious said the question was whether the
party was the agent of the bankrupt by his allowing
him to continue, or whether he was a servant or agent
of the society; if the latter, then the company was not •
entitled, but he would not enter into the case ea; parte.
Mr. NORTON then applied to his Honour not. to ap-
point a day for the certificate until a point of law had
been argued, by which it might be decided as to what
amount the creditor for whom he (Mr. Nortc.n) ap-
peered was entitled to prove.
His HONOUR said that he was bound to name a day, '
but if the creditor put in a claim contingently he might
be heard on the question of certificate.
Mr. Gray wished to explain an error which occurred
in some ot the pacers very prejudicial to him, as it first 401,
sold and then mortgaged the same property. The
report stated that the bankrupt had sold his in-
terest in some property worth 2,5001. to Mrs.
Illedge, and subsequently mortgaged it to a Mr.
Sykes whereas, the fact was, he sold two cottages to
Mrs. Illidge for 2501., part of some property worth
2,7501. The whole property was mortgaged, beiittg held
under one agreement; but as it was only mortgeged for
1,0001., there will be a balance of 1,2001. or 1,300 L for
the creditors, and as the mortgage (which is the question
at issue, but is disputed) could not operate against that
part of the property sold to Mrs. Illidge, no injury was
therefore done.
