(Continued from our Afternoon E dition of yesterday.)
In the coi'rese of examination it -was elicited from the
hour,
plaintiff' witnesses, that the ill-treatment on account of
whieli Mrs. Franklin left her husband, consisted mainly
of vulgar and gross language, which, his Lordship ob-
served, however shocking to a female who had been ac-
customed to more refined society, she might have ex-
pected to endure when she allied fl erself to a man of the
class to which the defendant belon fed. It also appeared
that before the action was brought, Mrs. Franklin bad
returned to her husband, and that his conduct
towards her had, from January last till the
present time, been unexceptionable- her father deposed
that he, and not the plaintiff, had maintained her during
the separation.
The jury, after a short deliberation, found that the
lady had had sufficient cause for leaving her husband,
but that the board afforded her by the uncle was not
furnished os the husband's credit, through her pro-
mise.—Verdiet entered for defendant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 26.
(Before Mr. CommiEsioner EVANS.)
THE RAINBOW TAVERN, FLEET-S'Y'REET, IN RE ISAAC

ARGENT.
This case came before the Court on Friday last,
for the choice of assignees, and was adjourned over to
this day, fur the purpose of certain creditors, who
then sought to prove, producing their books, to verify
their accounts, and also for the examination of Mr.
Coils, who was alleged to have been in partnership
with the bankrupt.
Mr. Hoggins attended for the bankrupt, and Mr.
Cooke for certain creditors.
Mr. Commissioner Evaxs----Do any creditors attend
to prefer joint proofs ; for I understand at the last
hearing that such an object was in contemplation ?
There was no answer.
Proof of several debts was tendered, and one re-
lating to accommodation bill transactions with Mr.
West, an innkeeper at Hastings, was ordered to stand
over.

Mr. Coils having been sworn, was examined by
Mr. HOGGINs, and stated in
substance as follows :
I formerly kept the Rainbow Tavern, Fleet-street,
and now produce an agreement entered into between
me and Argent, who subsequently occupied that
house in consequence of such agreement. There were
many payments and other transactions between us
after that time.
Mr. HoGams—Do you keep any book ? Mr.
Coils--No, Ido not; but I produce a statement of
the payments between us. I have other papers beside
that which I now produce, but they are at home, and
when the Court wishes they shall be forthcoming.
Mr. Cooke, the solicitor, made out the agreement
between me and the bankrupt.
Were all your transactions with him in conse-
quence of that agreement ?—No, they were not all
on the footing of that agreement ; such as rent, for
example, and other matters.
Now tell the Court, Mr. Coils, when you took pos-
session of the Rainbow Tavern ?—I think it was on
last Saturday fortnight.
How came you in possession of the Rainbow ?—J
put in an execution for money due to me.
Did you examine his (the bankrupt's) accounts, or
ascertain the nature or amount of his property ?
No, I did not.
How much money does the bankrupt owe you now?
—1,7001., of which 1,000/. is upon his bond, and the
remainder upon bills of exchange, and a cheque for
2001., which I lent him. There was a bill of sale
from the Sheriff to me, dated 12th November • 1844.
Did you then pay over the money to the Sheriff?—
No I did not, as I myself issued the execution.
No other proofs having been tendered, Mr. John
Wells, of Upper Norton-street, gentleman, was chosen
assignee.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
George John Page, a wheelwright, in the employment
of the South-Western Railway Company, was charged
with having stolen some brass tubes, &c., of the value of
6s. 9d., from that Company.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Johnson for the defence.

The evidence proved that the property was found on
his (the prisoner's) premises, and the servants upon the
railway identified it.

The jury found him Guilty, but in consideration of a
previous good character', recommended him to mercy.
The RECORDER said that, owing to that recommenda-
tion, he should limit the period of his imprisonment to
two calendar months, with hard labour.
James Johnson, 23, was indicted for attempting to
commit a burglary in the dwelling-house of Samuel
John Weldon.

The charge was pretty clearly made out upon the
facts, but on the prosecutor being cross-examined by
Mr. Prendergast, who appeared for the prisoner, he
said that he had given the Christian name of Samuel
as well as John, because he believed he had been
christened in both names, but he had always gone by
the name of John Weldoa only, and was married in
that name, and, in fact, was not known by any other.
The prosecutor was questioned at some length by.
the RECORDER, and the only reason he appeared able
to give for adding the name of S:itnuel was, that he
had some traditionary recollection that he was entitled
to it.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

SUGAR.-To-day the home consumption Sugar market
presented a quiet appearance ; there was no public sale
of Bengal or Mauritius, and little business was trans-
