ing conferred the commission of :the peace upon seve-
ral gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion, and to the fact
that an illustrious (he might call him) individual then
present, Sir Moses Montefiore, had been made by the
Duke of Wellington a magistrate of the Cinque Ports.—
(Immense cheering.) He came before them as a per-
fectly fit and proper candidate. He brought in his hand
the recommendations necessary to prove his qualifica-
tions; and not for himself only did he thus then contend.
It was a question of principle. Let them have confidence
in him, and they would break the last link in the chain
of bigotry.—(Loud and continued cheering.) The Hon.
Gentleman concluded an eloquent address amid much
acclamation.
After a few words from Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE, the
Lord Mayor took the show of hands, and decided that
the majority was in favour of D. Salomons, Esq.
A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Sheriff Moon,
and the polling was ordered for ten o'clock to-morrow.
Thanks having been voted to the Lord Mayor, the
meeting dispersed.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 24.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)
IN BE ADOLPH DE WERENSKY, COMMONLY CALLED
COUNT ADOLPH DE WERENSICY.
The insolvent came up to-day to apply for his in-
terim order, he having, previously to the filing his
petition, been in custody at the Queen's Bench prison
for contempt, in not answering a bill filed against
him in the Court of Chancery, at the suit of a Miss
Atterly.
He was opposed by Mr. Cooke, and in the course
of a lengthened examination, the insolvent made the
following (statement :—I have a right to the title of
count, having inherited it from my father, who resided
in that part of Austrian Poland called Gallicia. I have
been a lieutenant in the Austrian Polish service, which
I left in 1824, and have no half-pay. Since that time
I have occupied myself in literary and scientific avo-
cations. My friends in Poland hare sent me money
from time to time.
Mr. Cooke—Did you ever at any time receive as
much as 2,0001. a year ? Insolvent—Yes, I did,
between the years 1832 and 1834 ; it was sent me
from Poland by my relations. It was personally
handed over to me in sovereigns, and never came
through any bankers.
Let us know the names of any of those persons who
sent you the money P—l must not, for political rea-
sons, disclose their names, as they then resided in
Russia.
Mr. Cooke—But the disclosure cannot affect you, as
you were in Austrian Poland.
The insolvent—Possibly, but then I have written a
great deal against the Emperor of Russia.
Do you then consider the Emperor of Russia to be
your personal enemy ?—Yes, I do consider him to be
my personal enemy, and hence I refuse to answer
your question as to the persons from whom I received
the money.
Mr. Commissioner ETANB-If the question were
pressed, I think yoft would be bound to answer it.
Mr. Cooke—Did you ever represent to any person,
in 1842, that you had then 400/. a year ?—Never.
When I was living at Brighton, I must have received
money from my friends, but I must not disclose their
names.
When was the last sum of money received by you
from your friends ?—The last time was in the summer
of 1843, and the amount was about 3,0001. It was
not placed in any bank, but we have plenty of sove-
reigns in Russia.
Then, may I ask what did you do with them ?
Oh, I soon found a place for them,but I did not tell
any person that I received them.
Was your receipt of that sum from your friends, or
from property of your own P—From friends, for I
never had any property of my own. My father,
though a count, left me nothing.
Can you tell the Court what became of the money ?
—The greater part of it was lent.
To whom was it lent, for there is no entry of it at
all in your schedule ?—I lent to Miss Atterly 2,0001.
How is that, when you now come up in custody, in
which position you were placed for the recovery of a
document which that young lady had been indiscreet
enough to sign ? And I will ask you how you be-
came acquainted with her ?—She was residing with
her mother and sister at a boarding-house at Brigh-
ton, where I was staying for some time.
What could she want with so much money ?—I
believe she gave the money to her brother.
Mr. Commissioner I:yam—Had you any acknow-
ledgement for so large a sum of money ? The in-
solvent—Tes, sir, I had, but it was torn up ; how-
ever, the document which was the subject of the
Chancery suit proved the debt. I did not give in an I
answer tto the bill in Chancery because had no
money.
Mr. Cooke—Why did you not apply to the Court
in forma pauperis, Insolvent—l did, and I filed
two petitions and affidavits, which were unattended to
by the Court, and at last I would rather live in
poverty than go on thus " battering" with the
lawyers.
Mr.:Commissioner Evasis—l perceive that you
mention nothing whatsoever of this 20001. in your
schedule. This sum must be inserted.

Insolvent—l thought, ;ir, it was inserted.
By Mr. Cooke—What was the largest sum you
ever lent this young lady at any one time ? The In-
solvent-3001, which I lent her when I was living at
Blandford-place.
All in gold ?—Yes, all in gold; in sovereigns,
which were in two bags, and which she took away
with her in a cab, for she always went away in a
carriage.
Did she not tell you what she wanted all that money
for ?—She said her brother had But I will not go
into that. You want, I see, to draw me into un
pleasant matters, and I shall give you no further an-
swer, for you know all about it.
Mr. Cooke disclaimed all knowledge of tho matters
referred to by the insolvent, who stated nothing of
this 2,0001. either in his schedule or in his special ba-
lance-sheet.

Mr. Commissioner Eviacs—lt is impossible for me
to receive this schedule ; and as to the insolvent's
story I cannot believe one word of it.
The insolvent—Then, sir, am I to be imprisoned
for life ?

Mr. Commissioner Evans—The petition is dis-
missed.
The insolvent (a very military looking man) was
then remitted to his former custody in the Queen's
Bench.
The Court then adjourned at four o'clock.
