MAW AND POLICE.
In the Bankruptcy Court Robert Thornton Dockery,
market-gardener, came up for his final examination upon
his own petition. It was found that there was no credi-
tor in attendance to prove, and, consequently, no assig-
nee was chosen. Under such circumstances it was sug-
gested that the bankrupt should be adjourned sine die.
Sir C. F. Williams, however, refused to adopt any such
course, observing, that where they neglect their own
interest, and do not come forward to make good their
claims or support their objections, his duty was to do
justice to the bankrupt; and the bankrupt was declared
to have passed his final examination.
William Kirkpatrick, who was a " tally-man," having
" rounds" in the north, was remanded for fifteen calendar
months in the Insolvent Court, fur fraudulently making
away with his property. He has already been about
twelve months in prison.
The Southwark Quarter Sessions were held before the
Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Lucas, the Recorder, and
the High Bailiff of Southwark, at the Town-hall, St.
Margaret's-hill. The only case for trial was an assault
case of no interest whatever.
A tradesman, named Henry Bottle, was fined 20s. and
costs, at the Mansion-house, for refusing to deliver an
omnibus apron to the proprietor. The defendant bad
made the apron, but not according to direction, and when
he took it back to remedy the defect, he. refused to re-
deliver it without an additional payment. Sir John
Pirie commented in severe terms on the untradesman-
like conduct of the defendant.
At Bow-street, an elderly man, dressed in the garb of
a sailor, and who stated himself to be Richard King, a
mariner, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged on
suspicion of having stolen a piece of ham, which was
produced in Court, and laid on the front of the witness-
box. A policeman named Hubbert, 82 F, met the pri-
soner
with the ham in Long- acre, and apprehended him
on suspicion of his having stolen it. The prisoner said
the ham had been given to him, and that ho would show
the policeman the house where it had been so given.
The policeman, however, refused to go, and took him to
the station-house. Mr. Thomas Roberts, of New-street,
Covent-garden, who had given the prisoner the ham,
proved the correctness of the account the poor man had
given, who was discharged after having been locked up
all night upon no charge whatever, when the whole
might have been cleared up at once by a walk of 200
yards.
Emma Bonnor was ccmmitted from Queen-square,
charged with robbing a pawnbroker, and pledging the
property at his own shop immediately afterward::.

At Marylebone Count Grabowski, residing at 11,
Bentinck-terrace, Regent's Park, was charged by Fitz-
gerald, 178 D, who stated that on the previous night,
about twelve o'clock, he found the prisoner drunk in
Oxford-street; he was reeling from one side of the pave-
ment to the other, and as he seemed incapable of taking
care of himself, witness conveyed him to the station-
house. The Count, who denied the truth of the accusa-
tion, was fined 55., on hearing which he seemed very
much incensed, and exclaimed, "If this case appears in
the newspapers, I shall prosecute the two constables for
a breach of the peace."
Michael Lee, who had been detained on a charge of
murdering his wife, was discharged.
John Galloway, a fashionably-dressed young man,
who holds a situation as clerk in the West India Dock,
appeared before the Hon. G. C. Norton, at Lambeth-
street, on a warrant charging him with gross misconduct
towards his mother. The defendant had long been in
the habit of grossly misconducting himself towards his
mother, and throwing glasses, cups, and other articles at
her, and had become so incorrigible that she was at
length obliged to apply to a magistrate for protection.
Mr. Norton, after reading him a severe lecture, and ex-•
torting from him a promise to leave his mother's house,
ordered him to be bound over in his own recognisance in
301. to be of good behaviour towards his mother for the
space of three months.
Charles James was remanded from Worship-street on
a charge of having stolen a large quantity of household

will be made against him.
