CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT
OLD COURT.

Before the RECORDER and Alderman litronEs HUGHES,

FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY.—Robert Bannister was -‘• in-
dicted for, that he, being a trader within the meaning of the
statutes relating to bankrupts, did unlawfully obtain goods
of James Hargreave and others, with intent to cheat them
thereof."
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
On the jury re-assembling at two o'clock.
Mr. HuoilEs took a technical objection to the form of the
indictment.
they might remember that the Counsel for the prisoner very
properly endeavoured to prove that the goods had been bought
on the 7th, which would have carried the transaction out of
the three months mentioned by the statute, but they should
also recollect that the witness Massey positively stated that
the 9th was the day of sale, and they had an entry of the
prisoner's on that date, ordering the goods to be sent. by a cer-
tain conveyance, and they had also a contemporaneous entry
by the panics showing that the goods had gone off on the 11th,
two days following. Then they had the acceptance of the
prisoner, clearly showing his acknowledgment of his
own liability for these goods. But there was
another ingredient in the clause, namely, the purchasing
of goods with intent to defraud the owner. Now, when they
found a man starting with insolvency and ending with bank-
ruptcy in the course of three months—when they found that
that man bought goods at wholesale prices, and sold the: at
half their value—when they found that in that time he accu-
mulated debts to the amount of 16,000/., it was to be fairly
presumed that he had not intended to carry on business as a
fair trader.

The jury then considered, and returned a verdict of Guilty
on the first anti fourth counts.

The pnsoner on being asked if he- had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed upon him, said that the
goOds were bought of the Messrs. Hargreaves on the Bth of
April, an Easter Monday. He had been in Manchester on
the day following, making purchases there. The prisoner
was entering into a rambling statement, when
The RECORDER interrupted him by saying that he was
not advancing anything in plea of mitigation.
The prisoner had nothing further to say, and
The RECORDER then, after a most severe address, sen-
tenced him to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
