OADSBY V. WARBURTON.

In this case the Revising Barrister for the southern
division of Lancashire disallowed an objection, on the
ground that the notice was defective, the objector not
having specified the parish in which he resided. The
notice designated the objector as of the " township of
Didsbury," omitting the parish of Manchester, in which
it is situate.

Mr. Coc}minx, in support of the appeal, contended
that the description of the appellant's residence, as being
in Poplar-grove, in the township of. I)idsbury, and
southern division of the county of Lancaster, was suffi-
cient, the locality being well-known.
Mr. CARDWELL argued that the Act of Parliament
expressly required the parish to be specified in the mo-
tion of objection.
The COURT was of opinion that the notice 'was suffi-
cient. The intention of the Act was that a person ob-
jected to should have adequate information as to where
the objector might be found. It supposed that the de-
scription in the notice was full enough for this purpose.
The objection should have been received, unless it were
shown to the satisfaction of the Barrister that there
were two townships of Didsbury, in the county of Lan-
caster. Their Lordships ruled, therefore, in favour of
the appeal.

GADSBY V. BARROW.

The appellant is the same as in the last case. He had
objected to a vote claimed upon the 501. qualification,
because the claim WA3 not made from ono holding, but
from several tenements, under different landlords. The
barrister decided against the objection.
Mr. Cockburn now appeared for the appellant against
that decision, which was supported by Mr. Cardwell.
The COURT ruled in favour of the appeal, and decided
that the qualification cannot be made up of different and
detached holdings, but must consist of one tenement,
held at will, and of the value of .501. per annum.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)

IN THE MATTER OF T. D. EARLEB, DENTIST, OF NEW'

MAN.STREET.

The insolvent applied this day for his interim order,
but was opposed by Mr. Cooke for a Mr. Brimmer, the
landlord of a house in Newman-street, rented by the
insolvent at 75/. per annum. The insolvent had given a
bill of exchange, drawn by himself and accepted by a
Miss Crofts, his niece, for the twelvemonth's rent, due at
the next Christmas, with an understanding that if the
bill was not met at that time the insolvent would give
up possession in two months after. He (Mr. Cooke)
now applied to have the house given up, as his client,
Mr. Brimmer, had no wish to lose more by the insolvent.
He (Mr. Cooke) would also mention that the insolvent
had already filed a petition in some of the other courts,
which had, however, been dismissed by the Hon. Com-
missioner.

Sir C. WILLIAMS reprobated the course taken by this
as by too many insolvents, of petitioning the other
courts after being dismissed by one, they trusting that
some chance would intervene to enable them to pass
some Hon. Commissioner. It was a gross imposition
upon the Court, and he was of opinion that some rule
ought to be made, that where the insolvent had peti-
tioned before that petition should appear on the face of
the new application.
Mr. COOKE—Say that any respectable attorney ought
to apprise the Hon. Commissioner in such a case.
Sir C. WILLIAMS said he would not grant the order,
until the house was given up; and the matter was deferred
for a fortnight, in order that the transfer should be made.

GUILDHALL—(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Rogers was charged with having committed a
violent assault on a copper-plate printer named Drake.
Mr. Humphries attended to conduct the case for the
complainant.

Air. Drake stated that he was a single man, and that
he had lived with the defendant for three years, that she
had bad two children by him, both of whom were dead.
• They separated by mutual consent in August last, and
he agreed to allow her 2s. 6d, a week, which he had
punctually paid her. She came to his place of work
last Saturday, and offered to fight him, but stated that
she woield not annoy him if he would give her a glass
of ale, which he did, but she did not ad-
here to her agreement, as she struck him se-
veral times, scratched his face, and used other violence
towards him. He had bad to give her into custody on
similar charges several times before. She was a bad
woman, and had made away with almost everything that
he had possessed.
The young woman said she was then in the family
way by the complainant, and that she had been cruelly
deceived by him. He had repeatedly told her that if
shevanted money she might go and seek it by a life of
prostitution. She had formerly led a respectable life as
a servant until she knew the complainant. She had now
lost her character, and could not obtain a situation.
She was discharged, the complainant agreeing to pay
the weekly pittance at this office, from whence the young
woman would receive it.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Wnt. Simpson, a flashily-dressed young man, was
charged with stealing a sovereign, under the following
circumstances :

George Thomas stated that about 4 o'clock yesterday
morning, having been out on a " spree," he went into
Rica's Coffee-house, No. 64, High-street, St. Giles's, and
while taking some refreshment there, he put down a
sovereign on the table, immediately the prisoner, who
was in an adjoining box with two or three others, came
to him and said " that sounds like a bad sovereign."
Prosecutor replied he was sure it was good. Prisoner
said " I'll bet you half-a-crown it's a bad one," and
directly one of the prisoner's companions took the sove-
reign up off the table, and after it had been passed from

one to another, ho again saw it in the prisoner's hand,
but on asking for it to be returned to him, the whole
party denied having it, he in consequence gyre the pri-
soner into custody, as he had last seen it in his possession.
The prisoner said he did not know where the prose-
cutor's sov6rUign Went to.-
Mr. HARDWICK said the prosecutor was a silly fellow
not to take better care of his money. Under the cir-
cumstances a charge of felony could not be substm-
tiated; the prisoner must, therefore, be discharged, and
the prosecutor might summon him for the 20s. at the
Court of Requests.
