upon trade. In our age there is no danger of trade
being treated with contempt, as we think yester-
day's exhibition abundantly testifies ; and, there-
fore, it is absurd to suppose that the compliment
of the Queen's visit was like Elizabeth's, ad-
dressed principally to the interests of commerce,
to the Lord Mayor of London, or to the re-
spectable gentlemen of the Gresham Committee. It
was an occasion fur the Queen to meet all her people
—an occasion doubtless deriving much of its interest
from the consideration that Elizabeth had been a pro-
minent actor on a former occasion of the same kind ;
but to meet her people—all her people, and to gratify
them by her presence, was the true motive of the
Queen's visit.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 29.
(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
IN THE MATTER OF W. BROMLEY.

The adjourned examination of the bankrupt, a soli-
licitor in Gray's Inn, whose case excited great interest
on account of the application of certain moneys with
which he had been entrusted by various parties, was ap-
pointed for this day, and long before the hour of sitting
the Court was crowded with parties (many of them
females) interested in the proceedings.
Mr. Humphery appeared to oppose the passing of the
bankrupt, and Mr. Sturgeon was retained on his side.
Sir C. F. Williams entered, and on the case being
called on,

Mr. HUMPHREY said that his Honour might remember
that the bankruptcy's case was adjourned in July last, and
that a very long period was given, in order that he might
furnish accounts every way satisfactory to his creditors.
That had not been done, and they were then in pre-
cisely the same condition that they stood at the last
examination.

Sir C. WILLIAMS said that under such circumstances
he coald not think of going into the case. It was dis-
tinctly understood, and the Learned Gentlemen engaged
for the bankrupt seemed to assent, that the creditors
should have every opportunity of examining and investi-
gating the accounts. There were some debts to which
there were more than two claimants, and it was, there-
fore, absolutely necessary that the case should be fully
sifted.

Mr. STURGEON had no doubt that the bankrupt now
that he knew what the wishes of his creditors were,
would do everything to satisfy the Court and them if a
short adjournment were given him,
Mr. HII3IPUREY was quite opposed to any further ad-
journment.
Sir C. AVILLIems thought the only course was to ad-
journ the matter sine die, allowing the bankrupt to come
up again to the Court, when his accounts were in a satis-
factory state.
The bankrupt explained that he had done all he could
to give an answer to every inquiry, and to explain every
account. If the gentlemen who new raised objections
would kindly inform him, or show him what to do, he
would with thankfulness do it.

The matter was, after a few remarks from Mr. Hum-
phrey, adjourned sine die.

SHERIFFS' COURT, Oct. 29.
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY and a Common
Jury.)

PIERCE AND ANOTHER V. ADAMS.

Mr. Sergeant Jones appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr.
Thomas for the defendant.

Mr. Sergeant JONES said the action was brought by
the plaintiffs, Messrs. Pierce and Coatze, coachmakers in
Long-acre, to recover from the defendant, George
Adams, the sum of 191. 17s. 6d. In the year 1842 the
defendant entered into the possession of a house situated
in West-street, St. Martin's-lane, the property of the
plaintiffs. The payments of the rent were very irre-
gular, and the plaintiffs had distrained some time ago.
The defendant owed them 331. 2s. 6d., but in order to
obviate the expense of bringing their action in one of
the superior courts, they had reduced their claim to the
amount fur which the action was brought.
The defendant pleaded that he never owed the money.
Mr. THOMAS produced a deed which had been signed
by the plaintiffs, but it was unstamped, and the plaintiffs
were nonsuited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
BOW-STREET.

A ROBBERY SINGULARLY DISCOVERED.— William Ed-
wards, living at 43, Charles •street, Drury-lane, was
brought before Mr. TWYFORD, charged with having
stolen property in his possession.
Policeman Bagnell, F 31, stated that he was on duty
in Charles-street, Drury-lane, about one o'clock this
morning, and saw the prisoner, in company with three
others, standing in the street. Heard one of them say to
the prisoner, " Did she halloo?" and then seeing witness
they separated and went different ways. Witness went
up to the prisoner, took hold of his pockets, which
stuck out, and asked him what he had got there. He
answered, "It is grub," and witness then pulled out a
valuable fur tippet and a cigar case. Witness imme-
diately took him to the station-house.

Mr: TWYFORD—WeII, prisoner, what do you say to
having these things in your possession? Prisoner—l
found them in the procession, and held them up and
cried out, " Does any one own this ?" and no one
owned it.

Mr. TwYFoRD—I must remand you, to find an owner
for the property, as I have no doubt, violence was used
in obtaining possession of it.
