BANKRUPTCY.—(YESTERDAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.)
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

-REFUSAL OF SUMMONSES UNDER THE SMALL I)EDTS
Acr.—ln the course of an application for a summons
under the Small Debts Act, the Learned Commissioner,
at the rising of the Court, gave some very strong
reasons for the opinion which had been come to
by himself and Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, that they
ought not to take judgment papers as proof of judg-
ments. They were (he said) the most unintelligible
documents he knew of ; they ended with, " For that
whereas," &c., and he was asked to jump to a conclusion
that there was a judgment.
The attorney said it was not required except under
circumstances that the roll should be made up.
The COMMISSIONER-I must be satisfied there is a
judgment ; I must have a copy of it.
The attorney said if that was deemed absolutely neces
sary the expense would be such that few persons would
follow out the Act.

The Learned6O3I3IISSIONER said it had been held
that they were personally responsible if they ex-
ceeded the law ; he should, therefore, take care
to be on the safe side ; he must have an authenticated
copy—a mere office copy not authenticated would not do;
they might be good enough in the courts from whence
they issued, but not in others. There arose another
question. It appeared that they only had power over
cases where judgments had been issued by courts having
competent jurisdiction. From that it would appear the
Commissioners must inquire as to the jurisdiction of the
other court, for if no jurisdiction existed the whole pro-
ceedings would be bad. From all these circumstances,
and as he might be called upon to commit under the Act,
he should refuse to take any proceedings except under
the strict letter of the Act. It should be underst )od that
the judgment paper only contains a few lines, although it
bears the seal of the court, as though the whole proceed-
ings were detailed.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

(Before the CommoN SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman
T. Wow%)
EMBEZZLEMENT.—Edward Thomas, 23, a linendraper,
in the employment of Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., Totten-
ham-court-road, was placed at the bar charged with
having appropriated to his own use the sum of 55., being
part of an account paid to him, on behalf of his em-
ployers.
Mr. Doane was for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson for
the prisoner.
It was proved in evidence that Mrs. Duncan, a cus •
tomer, in Torrington-square, had purchased goods to the
amount of 1/. ss. 4d., but the prisoner only rendered an
account for 1/. Os. 4d. sold, and the latter amount he paid
into the cashier's hands. It was proved also that before
leaving the warehouse to call upon Mrs. Duncan he re-
ceived3os., lest change might be required, and he did not
return the full amount, for which offence he was dis-
charged the same evening. On the succeeding day he
returned for his clothes, and it having been ascertained
by that time that he had retained ss. received from Mrs.
Duncan, he was given into custody.
Mr. CLARKSON briefly reviewed the evidence for the
prosecution, and contended that nothing criminal was
proved, inasmuch as the goods returned not being mea-
sured, it would be absolutely impossible to say what
quantity had been sold by the prisoner. Ile (Mr. Clark-
son) admitted that the prisoner had, to a certain extent,
misconducted himself, because it was undoubtedly the
fact that he was in a considerable degree intoxicated,
azd therefore unable properly to explain the state of his
accounts. He thought that sufficient doubt existed as to
any criminal intention on the part of the young man at I
the bar to warrant the jury in discharging him.

The COMMON SERGEANT summed up iria manner very
favourable to the prisoner, and the jury, after consulting
a few minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. lie
was consequenty discharged.
THEFT.— William Anderson, a boy of 15, was indicted
for stealing from the person of Mrs. Ann Carr the sum
of 2L 18s. The prosecutrix stated that she was on board
the Prince of Wales, Margate steamer, and, on arriving
at London-bridge, she was pressed very much by the
prisoner, and, on searching her pockets, found that her
money had been taken. There was a crush at the time,
as persons were anxious to get ashore.
Hillier, a porter, thought that the prisoner was
the thief, and he then called a constable. Since that
time, however, he was somewhat doubtful that the boy
at the bar was the right one after all.
The constable, on searching the prisoner, after taking
him int) custody, found upon his person four sovereigns,
a fourpenny piece, some halfpence, and a gold watch.
Mr. CLARKSON cr,mmented upon the want of evidence
in the case, and particularly upon the different state-
ments made by Hillier before the magistrate and in that
Court, and contended therefrom that no jury in the
world could return a verdict of guilty thereupon.
The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, and laid great
stress upon the fact that the prisoner was in possession
of four sovereigns and a gold watch, and yet the jury
were left in total ignorance of who he was. The case
was, however, in the hands of the jury.
A verdict of Not Guilty was returned.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation is very firm ;
about 400 hhds have been sold at fully previous rates. The
public sales have consisted chiefly of 6,401 bags Mauritius ;
COO bags Bengal ; 2,797 baskets Java (subject to 23s 4d
duty). All the Mauritius and Bengal found buyers, the
former at 38s 6d to 45s 6d for low to good brown. and low
to fine yellow at 463 to 55s per cwt, being in most in-
stances 2s to 3s above the prices obtained on the
25th ultimo, but chiefly upon the low and mid sorts.;
the Bengal sold at 59s 6d to 64s 6d for very fine grainy
yellow and white, and 46s to 50s for IJw to good yellow,
which are high rates. Nearly all the Java was disposed of
(partly for refining here, and partly for export), at 50s 6d to
56s 6d for low to fine greyish, yellow and low white being
comparatively cheap.
SALTPETRE.-450 bags Bengal sold at 24s to 24s 6d
for 12 to 9* per cent. refraction, which is the previous value.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 40s 9d to 41s per cwt on the spot,
and Town 43s 6d.

quite so large as they were.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat in his
private room at Lincoln's Inn to-day, for the purpose of
hearing of any applications that parties might think it
necessary to make to him, as the equity judge during the
vacation.
NOAKES AND ANOTHER V. ALLEN.—EVERETT'S
BLACKING.
Mr. HEATEFIELD applied to-day, on behalf of the
plaintiffs upon notice for a special injunction to restrain
the defendant from selling or disposing of, or causing to
be sold or disposed of, any blacking or composition under
the name of " Everett's Blacking," or " Everett's Pre-
mier Blacking." It appeared from the statement of the
Learned Counsel, that the plaintiffs were the legitimate
successors of the late Mr. Wm. Everett, whose name
has almost as great a notoriety among the manu-
facturers and venders of that useful liquid called
blacking, as " Day and Martin," and the famous
" Robert Warren, of 30, Strand." After Mr. Everett's
death the business was carried on by his widow ;
and upon her death the plaintiffs, who had married
her daughter, continued to carry on the busi-
ness. Some time since they discovered that the de-
fendant was selling his blacking in bottles with labels
upon them that were the complete counterpart of those
used by the plaintiffs. Communications took place be-
tween the parties on the subject, but the defendant still
persisting in selling his blacking as that manufactured
by the plaintiffs, the present bill was filed, and notice had
beenserved upon him of the intentions of the plaintiffs to
make the present motion. The Learned Counsel stated
that, notwithstanding the notice, the defendant had not
thought proper to appear, and he apprehended therefore
that he was entitled to the injunction he asked.
His Honour granted the injunction, restraining the
defendant, his servants, workmen, and agents from sel-
ling
or disposing of, or procuring to be sold or disposed
of, or exposing to sale, any blacking or composition
under the name of, or as, or for, or described as, or pur-
porting to be the same blacking as was made and sold
by William Everett in his lifetime, and is now made and
sold by the complainants, or under the name of, or as, or
for, ordescribed as, or purporting to be Everett's Black-
ing, orEverett's Premier Blacking, and particularly from
selling or disposing of, or procuring to be sold or dis-
posed of, or exposing to sale any blacking or composi-
tion in bottles having affixed thereto such labels as are
in this cause described, or any other labels so contrived
or expressed as by colourable imitation, or otherwise to
represent the blacking or composition contained in such
bottles to be the same as the blacking or composition
manufactured and sold by William Everett during his
lifetime, and now manufactured and sold by the com-
plainants, or to be Everett's Blacking, or Everett's Pre-
mier Blacking, and also from delivering over or parting
with such labels and bottles, or any of them, to any per-
son or persons other than the complainants, or such per •
son as they shall appoint to receive the same.
MANN V. RICKETTS.
Mr. COOPER applied in this case upon motion to stay
the sale of certain large estates in Shropshire, and also
all proceedings under the order of the Master of the
Rolls, until the House of Lords had given judgment
upon the appeal from that order.
His HONOUR, considering there was no ground for the
application, dismissed it with costs.
His HONOUR, in the course of the morning, intimated
that it was his intention to remain in town till Tuesday,
and that in the interim he should sit once or twice to
hear any cases that might press.

The COMMON SERGEANT said he should make no
order for the delivery to the prisoner of the money taken
from him.

UTTERING FORGED ORDERS.— William Squire, 34,
draper, was charged with having feloniously uttered a
forged request for the delivery of goods, with intent to
defraud Richard Barnett and another.

Mr. Doane defended the prisoner.
Mr. Joseph Bates, foreman to Richard Barnett and Co.,
clothiers, Covent-garden, said that the prisoner had, on
the 3d of July, delivered an order, purporting to be from
Mr. Clitheroe, of Goswell•street•road (formerly an em-
ployer of the prisoner), for 31 yards invisible green cloth.
Witness refused to give the cloth, and two days after
the prisoner was taken into custody.
Mr. Doane called witnesses as to character.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri-
soner was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, with
hard labour.

THEFT.—Francis Cavalier, 33, a watchmaker, was
indicted for .stealing a watch, value 2/. 10s., the property
of Cclestin Grosney.
Mr. Hurry appeared for the prisoner.
The evidence showed that the prisoner had had the
watch to repair, and pledged it.
Evidence was called to character.
The prisoner was indicted on other charges of a similar
character.

Verdict—Guilty. Sentence, one year's imprisonmen
with hard labour.

LARCENY.—John Smith, servant, aged 35, was in-
dicted fim stealing- one dish cover, one mug, and a
silver image of the " Good Queen Bess," the property of
Peter McEvoy, his master, and a Si. Bank note and two
sovereigns, the property of John Bradfield, his fellow
servant.

The prisoner was proved to have been drunk in a cab.
and offering the silver dish cover in payment of his fare,
lie was taken into custody, and the different articles and
sums stolen were, with the exception of the two sove•
reigns, found upon him.
Guilty.—Sentenced to ten years' trausportation.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Samuel Cox and Susannah Ba' ton were placed at the
bar on the followinc, charge :—Police constable, No. 44
of the C division, stated that, between the hours of eleven
and twelve o'clock last night, he was called by Mr.
Bishop, a housekeeper of Poland-street, Oxford-street,
who said he suspected that there was a suspicious cha-
racter about his premises. Mr. Bishop then proceeded
to the back parlour, in which the female prisoner who
had been in his service as housemaid for two years was
sleeping, and was knocking at the door to arouse her,
when the male defendant came out of the room at ano-
ther door with his clothes on his arm, and was making
towards the street-door, when witness stopped him ; the
servant was found undressed and in bed, and Mr. Bishop
gave charge of both of them. The young man was o
good character and had worked for a considerable time
at a large manufactory in the neighbourhood. For se-
veral months past he had been courting the girl. It did
not, however, appear how Mr. Bishop made the dis-
covery that his servant was harbouring her sweetheart.
Mr. MALTBY inquired if Mr. Bishop was in attend-
ance ? The constable said he was not, nor did he be-
lieve he intended to come forward.

Mr. MALTBY—The defendants will then of course be
discharged. _ _ _

The iouthful couple left the Court in a very despond
ing mood.

CAMBRIDGE, AUG. 18.—Mr. T. Taylor, Fellow of
Trinity College, has been appointed Professor of the
English Language and Literature to University Col-
lege, London, in the room of Dr. Robert Latham, of
Upper Southwick street, Hyde-park, Fellow of King's
College, in this university, who resigned the chair a
short time since. The Rev. William Whitelock, 8.A.,
of St. John's College, has just been appointed to the
Mastership of Penrith Grammar-school, Cumberland.
The marriage of Miss Mary Frances Blomfield,
daughter of the Lord Bishop of London, with the Rev.
Prebendary C. B. Dalton, one of his Lordship's chaplains,
is fixed for Thursday next. and will take place at Ful-
ham. The Very Rev. Archdeacon Hale has been
selected to perform the ceremony.
THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAFIL—The Bishop of St.
Asaph (Dr. Carey) remains seriously indisposed, and
has been ordered not to leave London for his episcopal
residence in Wales ; indeed, fears are entertained that
he will not survive his present attack.
GREENWICH REGATTA. —A very excellent rowing
match, under the patronage of Earl Fitzhardinge,
Admiral Stopford, and the nobility and gentry of the
vicinity, amongst six young watermen of the place,
came off yesterday, in the presence of some thousands of
spectators. It was won, after five heats, by James Allen.
FOOT RACE.—Yesterday the match between
Brittle, of Tottenham, and Tucker, of London, came off
on two miles of road at Tottenham. The men were to
contest six miles, for 51. a side, and were restricted to
walk the distance fair toe and heel. They stet ted at a
good pace, and performed the first mile together. Two
milli& were turned in nineteen minutes, and half the dis-
tance concluded by Tucker in twenty-eight minutes and
fifty seconds, and at a lead of thirty yards. At the ter-
mination of the fifth mile the men were walking abreast,
both struggling for the goal. The race was hoe ever
won by Brittle by eighty yards ; he accomplished the
six miles in fifty-eight minutes and ten seconds. Both
men walked fair, and were not called upon to turn
throught the match.
Hull docks are crowded with shipping. On Wed-
nesday the blue flag was hoisted, to announce that no more
vessels could be admitted. The warehouses are filled with
bales of manufactured goods for export, and all is activity along
the quays.—Leeds Paper.
THE CAMP AT BORDEAUX.—Extract of a letter,
dated Aug. 13 :—" Yesterday took place the first re-
view of the troops at the Camp of St. Medard. Their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Nemours
left the Palace at nine o'clock, and reached St.
Medard about ten. The review commenced about eleven
o'clock, under the command of the Duke d'Aumale,
and lasted two hours. It was a mere inspection.
The camp indeed is a very poor affair, though great sums
of money must have been expended in erecting sheds and
barracks, and transporting forage and all s orts of stores
to this sandy desert. About 10,000 men were passed in
review. The spectacle was repeatedly interrupted by
heavy showers of rain, which added to the :disappoint-
ment and annoyance of the spectators. It is calculated
that 30,090 persons were present to see this fine sight."
STRANGE OCCURRENCE AND AWFULLY SUDDEN
DEATH.—On Tuesday last, a Major Parry, of the Royal
Marines, arrived at Llwynduris, in the county of Cardigan,
the seat of John Griffith, Esq., on a visit to that gentle-
man. The hour of his arrival in a post-chaise from New-
castle-Emlyn being as late as ten o'clock in the evening,
after partaking of some slight refreshment, he shortly
retired to rest, and complaining of shortness of breath he
desired the servant to tuck up the bed-curtains and open
the window in order to have a little air ; the servant re-
monstrated as to lifting up the window, observing that the
night air was very cold, but that the tucking up of the bed-
curtains would afford him sufficient air. The servant then
retired. At an early hoar in the morning the Major
rang his bell, and upon one of the maid servants
answering, he asked for a glass of water. He
was then sitting on a chair by the bedside with one of
the blankets wrapped about him ; the servant, after
taking up the water was desired to withdraw.
The footman some time afterwards went up to
inquire how he was ; he knocked at the door several
times, and receiving no answer, he gently opened
it, when he found the Major in the same position as
the maid servant had left him, only that his head was
reclining on the bed, and was apparently dead. The
servant then communicated his fears immediately to
his master, who instantly left his room, and, upon
seeing the Gallant Major, observed that he was no
more. An inquest was held upon the body, and the
verdict returned was "Natural death." The Major had
secreted in a belt round his body 1051. in Bank of Eng-
land notes, and 11/. loose money in his pocket. He has,
we understand, considerable property in the neighbour-
hood of Llanidloes, in the county of Montgomery, where
some of his family reside.—Carmarthen Journal.

REMARKABLE FECUNDITY IN THE BLACKBIRD.--
Early in the spring of the present year, Captain
Stephens discovered, in an evergreen, in his garden,
at the front of • the house near Presteign, a black
bird's nest. He watched the industrious couple
regularly, and they brought forth five young
ones. In due time the brood took to flight. A short
time afterwards the old hen laid four eggs, began to
hatch, and the kung ones came forth; this second brood
also flew. The hen commenced her third hatch, having
laid four more eggs, and at this time there are four fine
young blackbirds in the nest, making 'l3 young ones at
three broods in the same season. The hen bird is so
tame as to allow the captain to place his hand on her
when she is on the nest.—Hereford Journal
THE GREENLAND FISHERY.--SinCe our last publi-
cation no less than four vessels have arrived in this port, after
successful fishing, viz., on Sunday, the Jane, with 3 700, seals
and one whale, yielding together 40 tuns of oil ; and the Lord
Gambier, 1,060 seals, three fish, 25 tuns; on Monday, the
Forth, 18 seals, four fish, 60 tuns ; and on Tuesday, the Hebe,
two fish, 30 tuns. The latter vessel has made two good fishing
voyages this year, since the 28th of March. Several of the
vessels brought bears, which are valuable for their skins and
oil, and the Forth has on board a sea unicorn dead, the horn or
spear of which, issuing from the nose, is three feet long. The
creature measured about eight feet, exclusive of the horn. The
unicorns are similar in general features, habits, oil, &c., to the
*hale, with the exception of the horn and that the skin is
speckled. The largest measures about thirty-two feet, includ-
ing their bony weapon, which is one-fourth their entire length.
The ships bring no news of the Bon Accord, Truelove, Prince
of Wales. and -Constantia, the latter on her second voyage.—
Hull Advertiser.

THE LATE SUPPOSED MURDER IN WHITECHAPEL.
—Yesterday Mr. Baker held an adjourned inquest, at
the London Hospital, on the body of Michael Robert
Edwards, aged forty, a seaman, the person supposed to
have been murdered under an archway in Essex-street
(the new street), Whitechapel. It will be recollected
that a poor one-legged pot man was taken before the
Magistrate on the charge, but discharged and remune-
rated for loss of time. Nothing yesterday was proved,
further than extensive injuries to the head, either from
a fall or blows, caused death ; and the jury, therefore,
returned a verdict of—" Found dead."

BELL-STEALING.—During the last fortnight a
large number of house and garden-bells have been stolen from
the houses in the neighbourhood of Clapton and Stamford-hill.
In Springfield no fewer than six garden-bells were carried off.
Despite various stratagems fur the detection of the offenders,
no clue was obtained till last Saturday, when Hunter, a police
officer of the N division, observing a well-known character,
named Chapman alias Williams, walking along the Lea with a
coat slung over his shoulder, stopped him, and on searching
him found four bells, which were identified as belonging to
some houses at Upper Clapton. On Saturday Daltry, an
officer, apprehended two more notorious characters at the rear
of a house at Lower Homerton. It is said that a rich harvest
has been reaped by a gang of fellows in the metropolis, who
have carried on the bell warfare with great success.

ANOTHER RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—PB-1., VII 0
17.—A frightful, but fortunately not a fatal, Asty
happened here this morning (Sunday) at 8 00:edrotaej,
train of nearly 30 carriages was starting si°wlY,teet°'
Preston and Wyre Railway station here for se to
and was crossing the Lancaster line, which is e.,l9apcs'Ar
and before it bad got half over, a train from '';ed if
dashed right into it. The engine threw 111? DePic

100 persons, got off the rail, and was almost itnitiglit
brought to a stand-still thereby, and by the oliirej
the two carriages, which hung across it like aii,itl.oll
faniers. These carriages are such as are usual Jedi
or goods and cattle, but were this morning cranw:
with human beings. The consternation wa!sev6
enough, but providentially the injuries to the pas both
are not serious, The cause cf the accident el lev(
tributed to the Lancaster train leaving Lancaster, 011'u
past its time, and coming almost into Preston 3; oft.,
