BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.).

IN BE HERRY WM. stinirrEit..
The bankrupt had carried on business as a wine-
merchant, and the amount of debts which appeared in
his schedule was 43,4501., in paynient of which it
was estimated that about 17,0001. would be realised
from his available assets, namely :—.Good debts, with-
out any written security, 4,7801.; bills and promis-
sory notes, nearly 3;0001.; and -the available balanoe,

certain freehold property situate at Bow, which it was
supposed would realise nearly 10,0001. by sale.
It appeared by the examination of the bankrupt,
that on the 27th.of August, 1840, he effected certain
policies of insurance upon a cargo shipped for Cal-
cutta,by his brother, and a point was raised as to who
was entitled to the potential interest in this insurance
—he or his brother, in case the vessel was lost. A
great number of small creditors, chiefly servants,
domestic and in trade, relations, proved against the
estate ; after which the choice of assignees was pro-
ceeded with, when Mr. Henry Wall, of the firm of
Wall and Simmons, and Mr. John Best, were
•
appointed.

SHERIFF'S COURT.—(THIS 'DAY.)
The Court took short undefended causes at the
sitting this morning.

BOND V. CLARKE.

This was an action to recover the sum of 51. ss. for
the use and hire of a cottage piano.
The plaintiff is a pianoforte maker, and the defen-
dant is a music master. The defendant hired a piano
in the year 1838, and kept it for seven months. It
was for the hire of the piano during this time that the
present action was brought.
. Evidence was adduced to prove these facts.
The defence to the action was that the piano was
sent to the defendant to sell for the plaintiff.
Very conflicting evidence was then given on the
part of the defendant. A person was put into the box
who swore that the piano was sent to be sold and not
hired.

The Learned SIIERIFF summed up the evidence,
and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
the full amount claimed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

David Gould Nelson, a young man of respectable
appearance, and Lucy, his wife, were brought up in
custody of Inspector Partridge of the A. division, and
charged on suspicion of stealing four 51. Bank of
England notes, forty sovereigns and silver moneys, in
the whole amounting to the sum of 631. 6s. 6d., the
property of the Directors of the Friendly Loan
Society, at No. 50, Leicester-square. The male
prisoner was cashier to the Society, and in
November last he alleged that his desk at
the Society's office had been broken open, and
robbed of the moneys in question. His story at the
time was suspected to be a fabrication, but as no
direct proof could be obtained inculpating him, he was
merely dismissed from his situation. The numbers of
the fitteen notes represented by him to have been
stolen being known, they were stopped at the Bank of
England, and a few days since one of them was
paid in through Mr. Marshall, of Hungerford-
market, grocer, at whose shop it was passed on
last Wednesday week, by a female, a stranger,
in payment for some tea and sugar. In-
spector Partridge being employed on the business
succeeded in tracing out that the female whO passed
the note at Mr. Marshall's, immediately called a cab
from off the stand and drove away. The cab driven
was at length found yesterday evening ; he proceeded
with the inspector to Colney Hatch, near Finchley,
where he took the party to, and there the prisoners
were found living together, and the female was di-
rectly identified by the cab driver„
Mr. Marshall's shopman also identified her as being
the person who paid to him The Si.
The female prisoner solemnly-denied that she had
ever been in Mr. Marshall's shop in her life, or that
she had had a 51. note lately in her possession.
The husband said he knew nothing about the robbery.
Inspector Partridge said that another of the Si.
notes had been paid into the Bank, and he had no
doubt he should be able to trace it.

The prisoners were remanded for a week.

SUDDEN DEATH IN THE STREET.—As pulice. con -
stable 136 M was proceeding along Union-street,
Borough, about half-past nine o'clock last night,
his attention was called to an old gentleman, who fell
down at the corner of Lawnsend-court. He found
him in a state of insensibility, and, with assistance,
conveyed him to the station-house in the Southwark
Bridge-road. Mr. Odling, the surgeon, was instantly
in attendance, and pronounced him quite dead.
The name of deceased was John Chisholm, aged 74,
who carried on the business of a jeweller, at No. 3,
Herbert's-buildings, Webber-street. He had been
out that afternoon with Mr. Crawcour, of -Windsor-
r lace, who left him in perfect health about eight
in Long-lane, Bermondsey.
THE LORD MAYOR'S BANQUET.--The speeches were
of the usual description. The leaders of each party
in politics, who, as a matter of busines4,, call each
other scoundrels all through the Parliamentary ses-
sion, were full of protestations of mutual friendship.
Lord Stanley declared Lord Jolm'Russell to be a very
worthy fellow ; and Lord John Russell declared, over
the Lord Mayor's champagne, that he had a very
sincere private esteem for the very man whom he is
always publicly stigmatising as the most dishonest
and despicable of characters. This sort of thing was
kept up until a late hour, the new Lord Mayor mak-
ing a complimentary
speech about the old, and the
old puffing the new • while each thought himself
what is commonly called an infinitely
superior card
to the other.—Punch.
INDIA NEW s.—Yesterday a Court of Directors
was held at the East India 1-10u$6, when Mcorn,' Loftus
Wigram was unanimously appointed
Standing_,Counsel in the room of the late Mr. Ser-
geant Spezkie.
