LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SECONDARIES' COURT, Sept. 26.
(Before Mr. Secondary PorrEn.)
ROSS AND CO. V. CURTIS.

The plaintiffs in this action are wine and spirit merchants,
and the defendant is the landlord of the Royal Osk public-
house, Earl-street, Seven-dials. The action was brought to
recover the sum of 2/. 12s. 6d. for spirits supplied, and the de-
fendant pleaded in person that he never was indebted.
To prove the case the plaintiffs' cellarman was called, who
deposed to the delivery of whiskey to the above amount, and
that the defendant had himself written a receipt for it in the
delivery book.
The jury found for the plaintiff.
The SECONDARY said it was a very clear case indeed of
sham plea.
The costs would be increased by the plea from 5/. to 15!.
This was the only case set down for hearing.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 26.
(Before Mr. Comissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE 1.,.4..ZARU5. _ _

This bankrupt, who had carried On business as a dealer in
new and second-hand clothes in Marylebone and Wigmore-
street, came up to pass his last examination, and Was opposed
by the trade assignee.
The assignee said that he objected to the accounts in toto ;
that the debts amounted to nearly 2,0001., three-fourths of
which were on accommodation bills ; there were no assets, the
whole of the bankrupt's property had been swept away by
an execution, at the suit of a Mr. Lyon Samuels, upon ac-
commodation bills, and co account was rendered. The bank-
rupt had stated to him, in the presence of the official assignee,
that he had not kept any books, that he had made up his
accounts from memory, which failed him, so that he could
not give any details. The bankrupt bad had extensive deal-
ings in accommodation bill transactions with a person named
Davies, who was examined yesterday before Mr. Commissioner
Evans, who had adjourned the case, on the ground that the
bankrupt's property had been seized by Mr. Samuels (above
referred to) for a debt cf 1,553/., of which there was no de-
tailed account, and that Learned Commissioner said it
might, perhaps, be founded on fraud, and that it was a public
duty to refuse to pass a man on such accounts.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it must be shown to
him that there was a falsification of accounts to justify him
refusing to allow the bankrupt to pass. The only way to
punish him was to refuse his certificate. The grounds now
urged would properly apply on that occasion.
The assignee said, that if accounts like these were passed
against the express rejection of them by the assignee, he
himself had better be made bankrupt to morrow.
Mr. LEWIS (the bankrupt's solicitor) said he should like
to have the working of the fiat.—(Laughter.)
The bankrupt said he had paid him 20 or 30 per cent.
The assignee—Now speak the truth.
Bankrupt—Then I should say 40.
Mr. LEWIS—NOW you have got the truth, or near to it.
The bankrupt said he had sued out the fiat to defeat
Samuel's execution ; that Samuel's debt was for accommoda-
tion bills for 575/. in favour of Davies, and he could not say
to what amount accommodation bills had passed.
The Learned CO3IMISSIONER said he should pass the
bankrupt, as no delay could improve the accounts.
