rrHE HYGEIAN SYSTEM, as propounded by
AL Mr. MORISON, was submitted to the world upwards of 28
years ago. The extensive sale which the medicine (MORISON'S
PILLS) commands in all civilized communities, notwithstanding
all the interested opposition of the doctors. is undoubtedly the surest
guarantee to the public of its beneficial effects, and the truth of the
Hygeian system.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 2.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF GENERAL THEODORE DE

RUMIGNY.

The General was aide-de-camp to Louis Philippe, ex-
King of the French, and was made a bankrupt as a
sleeping partner in a firm carrying on business as coin-
mission merchants iu St. Mildred's-court. This was a
meeting for the choice of assignees and the last examina-
tion of the bankrupt.
Mr. E. Janus, Q.C., and Mr. Lucas appeared for the
General; and Mr. Lawrance represented the creditors.
Mr. James said that the General was residing in
France, and that up to that time he had failed to suc-
ceed in obtaining a passport, without which it was im-
possible that he could make his appearance in that court
to surrender to pass his examination. He would read a
letter which had been received by the General from the
Prefect of Police at Paris, and which contained these
words:—" I regret to announce that in consequence of
existing circumstances, it is not possible to acceed to
your application for a passport." Under these circum-
stances he asked for further time to be allowed for the
bankrupt's surrender.

Mr. LAWIIANCE submitted that the bankrupt having
failed to make an application under the 104th section of
the Act, which enacted that any application similar to
the present must be made six days before the last ex-
amination meeting, the application of Mr. James must
be dismissed. It was in order only to relieve himself
from the penal consequences of tho 251st section that
the bankrupt now sought time. Ile would contend that
it was impossible that the mere production of an alleged
letter from an official of a foreign power could be deemed
a sufficient excuse for non-surrender on the part of any
bankrupt. It was certainly practicable for him to have
made an affidavit. If an affidavit had been made it
might have been ascertained whether any sufficient rea-
sons for the non-surrender had existed.
Mr. JAMES would admit that the proper question was,
whether there was any sufficient reason why the bank
rupt should not come under the operation of the 251st
section? He would contend that his Honour would take
cognizance of the existing state of the laws of a foreign
country. The law of France was, that no citizen could
leave its territory without a passport. If the Court re-
quired evidence of the hand writing of the Prefect of Po-
lice, he would endeavour to furnish it. There was no
evidence of the bankrupt having acted in any degree
fraudulently, and it would be a harsh proceeding, before
assignees had been so much as chosen, to subject him to
the penal consequences of the 251st section. The Ge-
neral was an officer attached to the suite of a fallen
monarch, the Count de Neuilty; and his Honour would
at once see that there might bo sufficient political rea-
sons for the French Government not granting a
passport.

- The COM3IISSIONER said he did not think that he was
bound to take cognizance of the laws of foreign countries
with respect to the point at issue, but he would suggest to
Mr. Lawranee whether, under the circumstances, the
creditors whom he represented should not consent to
allow further time?

Mr. LAWRTAN---CE—Sftid he felt it his duty not to conceal
from the Court tb,t up to that moment the bankrupt had
not made any communication with his creditors.
Mr. LUCAS referred his Honour to" Ex parte Higgin-
son" and other analogous oases, as ,warranting the Court
in granting, under the circumstances, further time to
surrender.

Mr. JAMES—The case, in fact, is analogous to
man being in an Austrian prison. In France, with-
out a passport, he is only in a prison of larger dimen-
sions.—(Laughter.)
The COMMISSIONER said he would accede to Mr.
James's request, on the understanding that it should
be shown by proper evidence on a future occasion
that the bankrupt had made every necessary effort to
surrender.
Mr. JAMES—Perhaps it would be the test course that
some person bhould go over.
Mr. LAWRANCE—If Louis Philippe will return,
perhaps the bankrupt will be allowed to come over
here.—(Laughter.)
Mr. JAMES—I believe Mr. Cummissioner Fonblanque
is going to Paris to morrow, but I fear that when there
he cannot take the General's surrender.—(A laugh.)
His HoNouß said, that having • regard to all the cir-
cumstances, he would allow the time for the bank-
rupt's, surrender to be extended to the 10th of Sep..
temper.
The meeting was adjourned accordingly to that day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Hugh Robert Macklin, Mary Macklin, Henry Osborne,
Sophia Brown, and Susannah Paul, were again brought
up on remand before Mr. Alderman Salomon' for further
examination on a charge of stealing a gold chain value
20 guineas; two silver spoons, value 41.; a large quan-
tity of wearing apparel; some jewellery; a very valuable
collection of Roman cameos, in Morocco cases, together
with various articles of vertu, the property of Mrs.
Pyncurt, who is at present travelling in Italy.
Alderman SALOMONS said, he considered the evidence
in the absence of any one to identify the property only
presumptive, but yet so complete was the chain of in-
formation that he thought it would be advisable to send
the case fur the consideration of a jury. It might be as
well to inform the prisoners that it was his intention to
commit them for trial with the exception of Paul, whose
recognizances would be enlarged, and she held to bail
to appear and answer the charge at the Central Criminal
Court next sessions. He would therefore remand them
until Friday next, and in the meantime inquiries would
be instituted with respect to the truth of the state-
ment made by Mary Macklin regarding the disposal of
u portion of the property, and the depositions would be
prepared in order that they might be read out to the
prisoners on Friday.
MARYLEBONE.

Captain Philip karnard,!esidin4 at 14, Somers-place,
Hyde-park, was charged with having violently assaulted
Timm Om*" • WII-oolleator.

Complainant deposed that on the same afternoon, the
defendant, who was on 'horseback, passed by the Morn-
ington-crescent bar, Hampstead-road, without paying
toll. He (complainant) walked after him, and de-
manded lid., but defendant, instea3 of paying, laughed
at him, upon which complainant finding that ho could
not get his money seized the horse's reins, when the de-
fendant raised his stick, and with the lower end of it
struck him several sharp blows over the head and
shoulders; he also hit him with the butt end, and the
number of blows he received in the whole was seven or
eight.
Defendant—Did you demand the toll of me before
you laid of, and stopped my horse?
Complainant—Most certainly I did, more than two or
three times.
George Jackson, coachman to the Earl Compton, said
he saw complainant, who had gone after defendant to
speak to him, flogged by the latter; the blows appeared
to witness to have been given with considerable force.
Defendant, on being asked what he had to say, replied
that he knew nothing about any bar being at the place
alluded to until after his horse was violently seized by
complainant, who then for the first time demanded of
him the toll. When at the station-house, to which he
was taken by a constable complaisant wished to com-
promise the affair with him, but he would not agree to
anything of the sort; the only assault he committed was
that of striking complainant on the head.
Defendant called a witness who said that there was no-
thing like a gate at the spot to indicate that toll was ex-
pected; all that was there was a sort of chain bar, not
projecting into, but at the side of the road.
Defendant was fined 405., which in addition to lid.
for the toll due from him he immediately paid.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Emma Constable, a young girl of delicate appearance,
and scarcely exceeding 16 years of age, was charged
before Mr. Arnold with the following repeated and de-
termined attempts at self-destruction.
Francis, a constable of the N division, stated that
while on duty at Hackney at a late hour on the night of
the 29th of May last, he found the prisoner wandering
about in a very wretched and disconsolate condition, and
as she acknowledged that she was both homeless and
destitute, he conveyed her to the station-house. Upon
reaching there.she was placed in one of the cells, and
remained perfectly quiet until abeut two o'clock in the
morning, when witness was hastily summoned by the
reserve officer on duty, who had noticed something
strange in her manner, and upon opening the cell door
he found her sitting in one of the corners, tugging as
hard as she could at the ends of a handkerchief, attached

to two pieces of tape, which were secured so tightly
round her neck as to leave no doubt of her intention to
destroy herself. After cutting the ligatures she slowly
revived, and on asking her what she meant by such an
act, she told him she was determined to put an end to
herself at the first convenient opportunity. On that
occasion she was brought to this court for attempted
suicide, and remanded by the magistrate for a week,
at the expiration of which she was liberated and
received into a charitable institution in the
neighbourhood, and he saw nothing more of
her until the night of the 20th of June, when he found
her lying under one of the railway arches at Hackney,
and on rousing her up and inquiring why she was not in
the institution, she replied that she had been subjected
to ill-usage by another of the inmates, and had run
away in consequence. At that time she was again re-
manded for a week, when a gentleman named Tucker,
attached to the City Mission, attended and offered to
procure her admission into another institution, where
she would be properly protected, but she refused to avail
herself of the opportunity.
Bennett, 152 N, stated, that shortly after the prisoner
had been locked up on the last occasion referred to by
the officer Francis, he heard a gurgling noise in the cell
where she was confined, and upon opening the door found
her crouching down in the back part of the cell with her
garters tied tightly round her throat. She had not at
that time entirely lost her senses, and struggled violently
to prevent his saving her life, but he succeeded with as-
sistance in loosening the garters, and as soon as he had
done so she told him sharply to leave her alone, as he
had no right ,to interfere with her. During the re-
mainder of the night he continued to visit the cell at in-
tervals of every ten minutes, and upon going there a
few hours afterwards he found her again lying at full
length upon the floor, with her shawl wound tightly
round her neck, completely black in the face, and evi-
dently in the agonies of strangulation.
She was upon this occasion again remanded by the
magistrate, that he might have an opportunity of con-
sidering what course to adopt to insure her safety, and
was transferred to the House of Detention in the prison
van, with private injunctions to the van gaoler to watch
her actions. This seemed scarcely necessary for the
greater portion of the distance, as the prisoner remained
perfectly tranquil, but upon opening the wicket of her
compartment shortly before reaching the gaol the officer
discovered her silently strangling herself with a piece
of green riband taken off her bonnet, and which was
tied so firmly round her throat that it was necessary to
cut it with a knife.

Alderman, the gaoler of the court, apprised the magis-
trate that since the prisoner had been in his custody the
had solemnly declared to him that it was her fixed de-
termination to deprive herself of existence, and that all
the precautions they took to prevent her were perfectly
useless, as she would fulfil her intention the very first
opportunity that presented itself. lie had continually
kept a woman in the cell to watch her, but she obsti-
nately refused to assign any reason for her extraordinary
resolution.

A second gentleman belonging t) the City Mission,
who appeared to take :great interest in the fate of the
girl, and expressed his anxiety to procure her admission
into another asylum, was now in attendance, but the ma-
gistrate thought it advisable to take further time to de-
termine what course he should pursue with a person who
had manifested such a pertinacious determination to de-
stroy herself, and the prisoner, who remained obdurately
silent, was again remanded for a week.
