SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary PorrEn.)
ROSS AND CO: V. CURTLs.
The plaintiffs in this action are wine and spirit merchants,
and the defendant is the landlord of the Royal Oak public-
house, Earl-street, Seven-dials. The action was brought to
recover the sum of 2/. 12s. Gd. 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 Si. to 151.
This was the only case set down for hearing.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Comissioner S11E111E11.0.)
IN RE LAZARUS.
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 to 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 be had made up his
accounts from memory, which failed him, so that he could
not give any details. The bankrupt had 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 beat seized by Mr. Samuels (above
referred to) for a debt of 1,5531., 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.
Tim bankrupt _-said he -had sued out the fiat to defeat
Samuel's execution; that Samuel's debt was for accommoda-
tion bills for 5751. in favour of Davies, and he could not say
to what amount accommodation bills had passed.
The Learned CommissioNEß said he should pass the
bankrupt, as no delay couldimprove the accounts.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Thomas, a young man dressed as a tradesman's
porter, was placed at the bar, charged with the following
daring robbery :—About nine o'clock last evening, the pri-
soner, who had for some time been noticed lurking about
Sackville-street, Piccadilly, contrived to slip unobserved down
the area steps of the residence of Dr. Richard King, of No.
27 ; and entering the kitchen, in which none of the servants
at the moment happened to be, he seized hold of a tray of
knives and forks, no doubt mistaking it for the plate basket,
which was standing on the same table, and contained plate to
the amount of between 501. and 60/. As he was leaving the
kitchen he was met:by the cc ok, who, suspecting he was
a thief, seized him by the collar, on which he threw the knife-
box and contents into the sink, and made a desperate
strugggle to get away, threatening to knock the girl's brains
out if she did not loose her hold. The young woman, how-
ever, retained her grasp of him, and screaming loudly for
assistance, Dr. King, and some gentlemen who were dining
with him, rushed down stairs to her aid and secured him.
On his being searched at the station-house about 20s. in
silver were found in his possession.
Mr. HARDWICK asked if he was known.
Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said, that the prisoner
could be identified as the party who had committed two
other robberies of plate if he was remanded, to allow the
necessary time to bring the witnesses forward.
It also appeared that latterly numerous robberies of plate
have been of late effected at the west end, by a person an-
swering the prisoner's description. The plan he adopted was
either by sneaking down the area while the servants were
engaged in some other part of the house, or knocking boldly
at the hall-door, and stating that he was sent by some trades-
man in the neighbourhood to inquire for some article or an-
other to be repaired. While the servant went to make in-
quiries of his master or mistress, leaving him standing in the
hall, his appearance and manners not exciting the least sus-
picion, generally made his way to the dining-room, and carried
off the whole of the plate laid for dinner. In every case it
would -appear that he had ascertained by some means the
hour at which the family dined, and the robberies were gene-
rally committed about half an hour before the dinner party
assembled. lie was remanded until this day week.

CLERKENWELL._(THIS DAY.)
James Connolly, aged 16, and John Silk, aged 10, well-
known thieves, were placed at the bar before Mr. Greenwood,
charged by Mr. Robert Duke, chief usher belonging to this
court, with having been concerned in picking his pocket of
a silk handkerchief.

Mr. Duke deposed, that on Thursday evening last, at half-
past eight o'clock, he was walking through Goswell-street,
when he felt something kick his heel, on which he turned
round, and saw three persons behind him, but having no
suspicion at the time of any robbery, he proceeded a little
way on his journey, when he missed his pocket-handker-
chief. He then wentback, and at the corner of Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell, he saw the prisoners and another boy,in company
with each other, and Connollywas holding up his (Duke's)hand-
kerchief in his hand, exhibiting it to his companions for exa-
mination, whilst they were laughing and giggling. Duke
seized the prisoners, and tying their arms together, took them
to the station-house, and on their road thither Connolly said
he would pay for the handkerchief if he would let him go.
Connolly sail he picked up the handkerchief, and two
others found on him he purchased in Field-lane, Holborn, of
a Jew. _

Silk said he saw his friend pick up the handkerchief and
he went over to him to ax for his req'lars, or halves.
Mr. GREENWOOD fully committed Connolly for trial, but
the evidence not being sufficient against Silk, he was,dis-
charged, with a caution as to his future conduct.

NORTH WALES RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

An adjourned general meeting of the Shareholders in this
Company was held to-day, at the London Tavern, Bishops..
gale-street, Wm. Chadwick, Esq., in the chair.
The advertisement convening the meeting having been
read—

The CHAIRMAN said that they were all aware that the
meeting was . merely called for the :purpose of affixing the
seal to the register of Shareholders. You arc aware that we
are precluded from any other business ; but if any gentleman
present chooses to ask me any question, I shall be happy to
answer him.
A SHAREHOLDER wished:to know whether any arrange-
merit had been made, or was in course of making, with the
Chester and Holyhead Company?
The CHAIRMAN said that negotiations were then pending,
but they had not yet assumed an official character; as soon,
however, as they did so the result would be reported to the
Shareholders. . _

There being no other business to be gone through the
meeting broke up. -

SOUTH - EASTERN AND CONTI-
NENTAL STEAM-BOAT COMPANY.—
(THIS
DAY.)
The first general meeting of this Company was held to-day
at the South-Eastern Railway station, London-bridge, Wm.
M'Gregor, Esq., in the chair.
The advertisement calling the meeting having been read,
and the common seal of the Company affixed to the register
of proprietors,
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting. He said
there was no business for the meeting to transact. They had
been called together in compliance with the deed of settlement,
and to learn the progress which had been made in carrying
out the objects of the Company. The'report which would be
submitted to them would furnish the necessary information.
TIIR_SECRETARY then read the report, to the effect that
11,043 shares had been issued, on which 41. each had been
paid up, realising a capital of 44,172/. The Company had got
five iron boats constructed, and others were in progress.
There was not time yet for a dividend to be declared, but by
the next meeting, in February ensuing, it was fully expected
that there would be one. _

The report having been received and adopted, the meeting
iin►hediately afterwards adjourned.

Viscount and Viscountess Sidmouth, who have
been sojourning at Hastings, have left that watering-place.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to
5,000 bags, all to the trade. In prices there is not the least
change. 300 Maranbam realised 5%d. to 63/4d. ; 300 Surat,
314 d to 33%d. ; 400 Egyptian, 6%d. to 7%d. ; and from 3,000.
to 4,000 American, 3:Yid. to sd.
In Shares a moderate business was doing.
It has been mentioned by almost all- our Contemporaries,
as an extraordinary fact, that a large shipment of salt has
just been made from Liverpool to Calcutta. The fact is so,
and in calling attention to the matter, it ought to be stated
that at the last annual meeting of the General Shipowners'
Society the report of the Committee stated—
" Many subjects involving the interests of shipping have
engaged the attention of your Committee. Among them
may be enumerated a proposal to endeavour to open the
markets of India and China for British manufactured salt, &c."
It is satisfactory to find that the objects of the Committee
are likely to be realised.
There are not any late arrivals announced in the City to-
day of importance. •
Competition for the construction of foreign lines of railway
appears to be as strong, as far as the extension of com-
munication on the Continent is concerned, as in
this country. A new party is in the field, and a
most powerful body too, in order to compete for the Lyons
and Avignon Railway. At the head of the list of the Com-
mittee of Management is Sir John Easthope, M.P., and there
are the names of Mr. J. L. Ricardo, Mr. Walter, Mr. Ardonin,
&c. There is no question as to the importance of the line.
We are desirous of noticing that the party of the name
of Wetenhall, brought before the Lord Mayor for an assault,
is not Mr. James Wetenhall, the publisher of the Stock Ex-
change Lists. As for very many years the writer of this City
article has received much iaformation upon money matters,
&c., from him, a ready desire ought to be shown to "place
the saddle on the right horse."
Consols have receded to 9814 for the Account, and for
Money to 981,x. The quotations are now a shade better.
Exchequer-bills keep firm. India Stock is steady at 268.
Not half a dozen• bargains were reported in the foreign
funds to• day. The only fresh prices are, for Danish, 90 ; for
Spanish Three per Cents., 38; for Dutch Two-and Half per
Cents., 60; and for Equador, 5.
There is a heavy market for nearly all the railway shares
to-day. The Cambridge and Lincoln look firm. The quo-
tations 'piths French lines are also pretty steady.
