f he anticipated a verdict for the full amount of the pe-
r nalties.

Several witnesses were then called for the prosecution.
Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the jury for the defendant
The substance of the defence was, that defendant making
his paper by machinery, and drying it between steam-
rollers, that alluded to by the witness, Maria Allen,
could not have come from him, for it was damp ; nor
could that described by Mr. Mullett, fur it was hand-
made.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having replied,
His LORDSHIP summed up, and
The jury retired for forty minutes, after which they
returned, at a quarter to six o'clock, with a verdict for
the Crown on the Ist, 3d, and 7th counts, in 35 reams ;
for the defendant on the 2d and 4th ; and for the Crown
on the Bth, in one day and one ream.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 2.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
THE ROMPORD BANE.-JOHNSON AND MANN'S BANE*
RUPTCT.
Mr. Charles Mann came up to-day, upon adjourn-
ment, for his last examination; and this was also the
day fixed for the audit of the accounts of the joint
estate.
Mr. LANGHAM, who appeared for one or two of the
private creditors of Mr. Johnson, applied to the Court
for leave to examine Mr. Mann, with the view of ascer-
taining if there were not fueds applicable to the separate
estate of Mr. Johnson. He did not object to Mr. Mann's
passing his examination, but he mentioned the subject in
order that he might not be precluded on a future occa-
sion from raising this point, because when the accounts
came to be furnished by Mr. Johnson, it might appear
that a portion of the property transferred from the Horn-
ford Bank to the Aldgate business belonged to Mr. John-
son's separate creditors.
Mr. Mann was then examined at some length, bat he
could not give any satisfactory account of the money
transactions of the firm, because, he said, this depart-
ment was left entirely to Mr. Johnson, he (Mr. Mann)
being only a working partner.
Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN said it was to be re-
gretted that Mr. Mann had not looked into the financial
transactions of the business himself.
Upon further examination, the bankrupt said that he,
drew out 4,000!. in 1838, which sum was lent. It was
drawn out at the instance of Mr. Johnson, who said ho
thought there was too much cash in the concern.
Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN did not think there was
anything to prevent Mr. Mann from passing his last ex-
amination.
Mr. Lattoakat said that the creditors whom he repre-
sented had no objection at all to his doing so, provided
they would not be precluded from examining into this
matter when Mr. Johnson brought up his accounts.
Mr. Commissioner Gonimunif did not think that the
assignees or the Court could pledge themselves to any
such course.
The official assignee here said that an accountant (Mr.
Wryghte), who had looked into the affairs for the last
six years, had found that the balance-sheet, so far as Mr.
Mann was concerned, was consistent with the books.
Mr. WlLiciesosi (solicitor for the assignees) said they
were quite satisfied that the bankrupt should pass his
last examination. The accounts, as far as they knew,
were consistent with the books kept by the elder John-
son. If Mr. Johnson sought hereafter to estabilsh fur-
ther accounts, or said that those now before the Court
were not correct, that was not Mr. Mann's fault.
Mr. LANcHAM said, that as the bankrupt, Mr. John-
son, had been called upon to furnish full accounts, ho
believed he was anxious to do so. If it appeared that
moneys belonging to Mr. Johnson had been carried into
the'Aldgate affair, his separate creditors must have their
proper proportion.
Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN said that it appeared to
him that there was no reason why Mr. Mann should not
pass his examination. The private creditors of Mr.
Johnson had, by their attorney, examined. Mr. Mann on
the subject of the partnership accounts, and they bad of
course, a right to avail themselves of the facts which
they had extracted. The result of such examination
was that Mr. Mann told them he was only a working
partner, and Johnson the elder kept the books and cash,
with the exception of a few cases in which clerks re-
gularly interfered in such matters. The next inquiry
was whether the accounts which had been rendered
were the best that Mr. Mann could furnish to the
Court ? The official assignee said that an accountant
had gone through the accounts for the last six years, and
was of opinion that they were correct as they ap-
peared by the books, it being still borne in mind
that Mr. Johnson had kept those books. The assignees,
it appeared, did not see that any benefit to the estate
could arise, or that the ends of justice could be further
served, by a postponement of Mr. Mann's examination
and, therefore, he did not think thatihe had any right to
adjourn it. Neither the assignees or himself, however,
could be called upon to pledge themselves as to what
course should be pursued whn Mr. Johnson came up
with his accounts. When that time arrived they could
be carefully scrutinised, and the whole question entered
into, and the examination of Mr. Mann; as far as it went,
Mr. Langham might make use of as he thought best.
Under the circumstances, he had nothing to do but to
declare Mr. Mann entitled to pass his last examination.
Upon the audit of the accounts, it transpired that
there was already in the hands of, the Court 10,0001.
out of about 14,000/. as surplus from the Aldgate
business, and that it would be sufficient to declare a
dividend of ss. in the pound at the present moment, on
the general estate, if it were not for the separate cre-
ditors of Mr. Johnson. The dividend, however, cannot
be known until Mr. Johnson comes up for his last exami-
nation in February.
It was stated that Mr. Mann's private creditors had
been paid 20s. in the pound, and that 2,000!. had been
carried over as surplus of his private property to the
general fuud of the joint estate.
(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
THE DRAPERY TRADE.—IN RE T. A. BIDDERS, AN IN•
SOLVENT.
The insolvent in this case commenced business in
Prince Albert-street, Brighton, with a capital of 1001,
and was insolvent in a month after, owing nearly 3001,
inclusive of his month's rent, seven guineas. To day
was fixed for his first examination, and he was opposed
by his landlord, on the ground of having secretly re-
moved his goods and furniture off the premises to evade
the payment of his rent.
The case is only interesting to the public as showing
the extraordinary ingenuity exercised by " the trade"
in puffing their goods and forcing sales. It will hardly
be expected that the recent exposure of drapery frauds in
this court should be turned to account for such purposes,
yet such it appears is the fact. In this case the landlord
produced two handbills, one of which had been issued by
the insolvent himself during his short career, and the
other by a neighbouring draper, with his connivance,
after he had closed. The first was headed in large capi-
tals, " Banister's Bankruptcy," and went on to describe
the sensation which that affair had created in the drapery
world. After going minutely into the flight of Ban-
nister, the transaction in Oxford-street, and the other
facts which have appeared in the papers, the placard
concluded by stating that the insolvent had bought the
whole of the recovered stock, to the amonnt'of 9,0001,
and was selling it at a reduction of 60 per cent. under
prime cost. This placard, it appeared, had created a
great trade, but was admitted by the insolvent to be false
from beginning to. end. The second was better still.
Imm-diately after the insolvent had closed, a neigh-
bouring draper came out with another placard, headed in
type equally alarming, "The Prince Albert•street De-
linquency," calling the insolvent an " outlaw," and
stating that the subscribers had purchased all his goods
and were selling them " for ten days only," at one third
of the cost price.
The insolvent, on being questioned by the Learned
Commissioner respecting this placard, admitted that it
was'with his connivance and consent that it was published.
He thought that as he was leaving town there was no
harm in giving a neighbour and brother tradesman the
use of his name.
The COMMISSIONER said this was the most extraordi-
nary mode of carrying on business he had ever known.
The insolvent should have reflected that his good name
might be of use to him in other places than Brighton.
The insolvent said it was only a sample of what was
(lone every day in the trade. His Honour had no idea of
the lengths which were gone to to obtain business.
Mr. Bury (the landlord) stated that he had attended
that day principally that the other creditors might be-
come possessed of the knowledge which he had obtained
of the bankrupt's mode of doing business, and oppose his
further progress if they thought fit. One more point he
wished to allude to. It was stated that the stock had
been sold for 331. He (Mr. Bury) had certainly thought
there was a much greater amount in stock in the shop
on the Saturday before the insolvent closed.
The insolvent--Oh ! they were principally shawls, and
I spread them out on the stands to make as great a show
as pessible.—(A laugh.)
After Rome further questions, the Learned Commis-
sioner postponed the interim order, to give the other cre-
ditors an opportunity of coming up.
DECEMBER 3.
There were about thirty cases put down to-day for
hearing before the several Commissioners, but none of
them up to the time of going to press were of any im-
portance.

sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment
with hard labour.

Just •e the prisoner was removed from the bar, the
Police Constable, D 168, who took him into custody,
stated to the Court that he had found the duplicate of a
Waterloo medal upon the prisoner. It bore the name of
James Heaney, and, upon inquiry at the Horse Guards,
he found that a person of the name of Heaney had been
discharged in the year 1817, from the 2d battalion of
the Coldstream Guards.

The ABIIISTANT-JUDGI expressed his :hopes that the
statement of the police-constable would gain publicity
through the medium of the press. There were few relics
more valued and prised by an old veteran than a medal.
and he desired the constable to use every exertion to find
the owner.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBOIVE.
A young man, who described himself as the Baron
Mansell Mortymer, and said that he derived his title
from the Emperor of Austria, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Rawlinson, upon the charge of forging a
certain paper containing a promise of payment of a
debt.

Mr. Rattenberry, a hatter, residing at 21, South
Molton street, deposed, that on the 16th ult. the pri-
soner took ready-furnished apartments at his house,
having with him a female whom he represented to
be his wife, and on taking the- rooms he said he was
an artist. On the 20th he decamped with the lady,
having previously sent away his trunk for the alleged
purpose of having the lock repaired, and as he ne-
glected to return, prosecutor exerted himself day after
day with the view of finding him out. He at length
traced him to 44, Charlotte-street, Portland-place,
and on Tuesday last he repaired thither, when he
demanded 11. 25., the amount of a week's rent. He
said he was unable to pay it then, but promised
that the money should be forthcoming in the next
week. He (prosecutor) remarked that he should not
quit without the cash or satisfactory security for pay-
ment of his claim, when the maid-servant, who was
present during the conversation, went up stairs with
the prisoner, and presently brought down a written
paper purporting to be signed by Mrs. Spencer, the
landlady. It ran thus:—
"Mrs. Spencer will see that the Baron Mortymer's
account shall be paid next week.

" EMILY SPENCER."
Prosecutor added, that he went to the house again for
the purpose of ascertaining the particular day on
which he should receive his money, and he then
learned from Mrs. Spencer that she knew nothing
whatever with regard to the document above referred
to. The servant admitted to him (prosecutor) that
the prisoner had written the note himself.

Mr. RAWLINSON—When did you give the prisoner
into custody ? Prosecutor—This morning, Sir ; and
on my stating to him that he had committed a for-
gery, his wife offered me twenty or thirty duplicates
in payment of what was owing to me. I have under•
stood that the prisoner has had three or four lodgings
in as many weeks, and if he is remanded for a day or
two, other cases of a similar kind may very likely be
brought against him.
Harriett Young, the servant, said that she saw the
Baron write the note produced by the prosecutor.
The prisoner's answer to the charge was, that he
left the lodging in South Molton-street, in conse-
quence of the landlord having insulted him. His in-
tention was to pay the rent as soon as he could, and
he certainly did take the liberty of writing the note
in Mrs. Spencer's name.
He was remanded till Wednesday.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr. Broughton requests us to acknowledge his
receipt of several letters enclosing the following sub-
scriptions for the relief of a poor man, named Fay,
or May, who being ill himself, and having a wife
lying upon a sick bed, applied to the relieving-officer
of Shoreditch for relief of his family out of the house
until he could get work in a fortnight, and was refused
any other assistance (beyond is. 6d.) but an order .to
admit himself, wife, arid two children to the work-
house. The poor fellow had such a horror of the
house that he refused it., and applied to the magistrate
for advice, which application being published in this
paper on Wednesday last, has induced the following
donations :—From J. II.," 205.; " W.," 10s.;
"A. Z.," 6s. ; and " Beta, Newcastle-upon-Tyne,"
10s. One of the donors wished the magistrate to in-
quire into the truth of the man's story and the worthi-
ness of his family; in consequence of which Holland,
one of the warrant-officers, was directed to investigate
the case, and the report he made yesterday to Mr.
Broughton was in every respect very favourable. The
subscriptions have, therefore, been handed over to
him. Another donation of a sovereign, from " D.,"
has also been forwarded for the poor-box of this
Court.

CLERKEIV WELL.
A cue strongly demonstrative of the evil effects of
drunken habits came before Mr. Greenwood. Joseph
Abel, a haggard, miserable-looking old man was
charged with having been drunk and creating a mob
in the public street.

The prisoner some years ago was one of the most
opulent jewellers in Clerkenwell parish, having an
extensive jewellery establishment in Rosamond-street,
and had a large number of men employed. He used
to render himself conspicuous by wearing a gold
watch and a huge chain of the same metal, valued at
100 guineas. He was the father of a large family ;
four of his sons have been transported, and it is said
that their ruin is in a great degree attributable to his
pernicious example. He was drunk almost daily,
and his violent conduct when so brought him under
the cognizance of the police. He persisted in these
habits until himself and his family became so utterly
destitute that they were obliged to resort to Clerken-
well Workhouse for relief. On Sunday night the pri-
soner was expelled from the London Spa public-house,
in Exmouth-street, and to revenge the insult he struck
an unoffending man in the street. Inspector Perring
begged of him to go away, but he, in the grossest
manner, abused the inspector, who, in consequence of
the crowd attracted there by his disorderly conduct,
removed him- to the station-house.
The prisoner was sentenced to five days' imprison-
ment without the power of releasing himself by the
payment of fine.

UNI ON. HA L L.
William Latham and James Simmonde, two re-
spectable-looking men, were charged with refusing
to pay the difference between the first and second-
class fare from Kingston to Nine Elms, and the
Ivriner defendant was alsO charged with using inde-
cent language in the carriage, whereby he had in-
curred a further penalty of 40s.
Mr. Davies, the superintendent of the carriage de-
partment, stated, that on the preceding night, the
defendants caine up from Kingston in a first-class
carriage, and on alighting at the terminus at Nirie
Elms, they produced second-class tickets only, and
when called upon to pay the difference they refused.
The other passengers in the carriage, amongst whom
were two ladies, complained that one of the defend-
ants (Latham) had, during the journey, made use of
the most disgusting language, and that when remon-
strated with, he became still worse, and continued so
up to their arrival at the terminus.
Mr. TRAILL inquired if any of the parties who
were in the carriage at the time were in attendance ?
Mr. Davies said, that the gentlemen would have
come forward, but they were compelled to leave town
this morning.
Mr. TRAILL said he much regretted the circum-
stance of the absence of some persons who were in
the carriages at the time, to prove the offence, as he
considered it was of a much more serious description
than the other charge; that the situation of ladies in
a carriage with such a person, who was described as
having used abominable language, must have been
irksome and unpleasant in the extreme, and that, had
a witness of the fact been present, he should have in-
flicted the full penally on the offender.
Inspector Dalby stated, that when the defendants
were taken to the station-house, Latham's conduct
there was very bad, using language unfit to be
repeated.
Mr. TRAILL said that, although he could not punish
Latham for his disgusting conduct in the carriage, he
would fine him for using indecent language in the
station-house. The defendants were then asked what
they had to say in answer to the charge? Both de-
fendants said that, with respect to the charge of de-
frauding the company, they had no such intention.
'Fhat, as they were not in the habit of travelling by
railway, they went into the first-class carriages,
thinking they were the right ones.
Mr. TRAILL said that it was most improbable they
could have mistaken first for second-class carriages,
and that they were bound to have known, or to have
paid the difference in the fares when it was demanded
of them. The Magistrate then inflicted a fine of 20s.
on each defendant for that offence, and an additional
20s. on Latham for his indecent conduct in the station-
house.

STEALING WATCHES AT THE SURREY THEATRE.-
TWO well dressed young fellows, named Johnson rand
Macarthy, suspected to belong to the "swell mob," Were
placed at the bar before Mr.Traill, charged with stealing
two watches from the persons of Mr. Thomas Wtn. B.
tarn and Mr. James Cheaffers, in the pit of the Surrey
Theatre.
The first gentleman stated that he was in the: pit of
the Surrey Theatre on Monday. About nine o'clock he
was standing near the boxes, when he felt a tt ig at his
watch, and heard the guard-chain snap. He imme-
diately missed his watch. The prisoner Mac irthy was
standing near him at the time, but when he discovered
his loss he missed him. About eleven o'clock be was in-
formed that two men were in custody for robbing a
gentleman of his watch. He identified Macartb? as the
man who stood near him. A watch was found on the
prisoner, which belonged to him.
Mr. James Cheaffers stated that he was also in the pit
of the above theatre on Monday; while standing at ti'.e
back of the pit, about eleven o'clock, he way, much
crowded by several parties, who he believed hiJioni,-ed to
the " swell mob." He then felt a snatch at his watch, and
immediately missed it. The prisoners, wt-,o had Wen
near him at the time, were walking out '..)f the theati 'ep
when he pursued them and gave them irAn custody.
belwood, the officer belonging to t.',l„ theatre, ame,
ruc

headed the prisoners; he found a watch on Macarthy,
which was identified by Mr. Battam. The latter pri-
soner said that the watch belonged to -him, he having
purchased it its Rag Fair on the previous day, for two
guineas.
In answer to the charge, Johnson said that he was
unacquainted with Macarthy, and had no knowledge of
the robberies. Maearthy said that he picked the watch
up in the pit, and not being able to find an owner he put
it In his own pocket. He denied saying that he pur-
chased it in Rag Fair.
Mr. TRAILTr inquired whether there was any proof
that the prisoners were concerned in the robbery ?—The
officer replied in the negative.
Mr. TRAILL said he should commit Macarthy for trial,
and remand Johnson until Monday next, to give the officer
an opportunity of making inquiries respecting him.

LOSS OF AN AMERICAN LINER.

TWENTY-TWO PERSONS DROWNED.

By the Hibernia mail steamer letters have come to
hand with the melancholy intelligence of the shipwreck
and total loss of the ship Elizabeth, Captain Paton, com-
mander, belonging to Liverpool, with, it is much appre-
hended, the sacrifice of 22 persons, including the com-
mander, the chief mate, several of the crew, and many
passengers.

The—particulars received state that the vessel was
on a passage to New Orleans, having on board for
that port 16 passengers, of whom there were a number
of ladies.

On the night of the 4th of October they experienced
terrible weather. The n ind blew a heavy gale from the
westward. Every precaution was taken by the captain,
who was a weather-beaten old tar, and a most experienced
man, to avoid accidents ; however, on the following day
the gale increased to a hurricane, and shortly the main
and wizen masts were carried overboard by its awful
violence. During the succeeding night matters
became most pitiable. It was discovered she had
sprung a severe leak, and that she would shortly
founder was inevitable. The pumps were then
resorted to, and all hands, passengers and all, worked
vigorously to save the ship, but there was no hope
and the captain, perceiving the dangerous position of his
vessel, ordered the boats to be launched and the men to
says themselves, which they had scarcely accomplished,
and the crew and the passengers got into them, before it
was discovered that the ship was settling fast, and before
many minutes had elapsed she went down in deep water.
All the boats, three in number, now pulled towards the
westward, hoping they might meet with some passing
vessel, and it was resolved they should continue as close
to each other as practicable. Such, however, was not to
be the case, for before many hours had transpired the
violence of a tremendous sea drove them far apart Two
boats have since been picked up, the first six days after
the occurrence, at Sisale, having been without provisions
and water, and the other by a French brig, which
landed them at Vera Cruz, in a dreadful state of ex-
haustion. The third boat, the launch, has not been
since heard of, and it being full of people, twenty-two in
number, including the worthy captain, mate, and many
of the passengers, it is fearfully expected that she was
atipsised and all were drowned.
