At the conclusion of the examination the bankrupt
Hitchcock on Thursday, Commissioner Ilolroyd entered
into the leadinc, points in the case, and said there was no
doubt that the'bankrupt•had been guilty of. fraud in the
admitted concealment of large portions of the property
of the creditors, while he certainly could not commend
the conduct of Messrs. Cook: and Gladstone. Their
conduct, as to the-referene;es, must be diSapprove4 of by
every one, particularly. in regard to Mr. Wheeler. He
could not believe the bankrupt's statements when he said
his concealments were all urged upon him by Cook and
.Gladstone, for they had made-large payments from the
proceeds of sales of goods sent from his premises in
Regent-street. The case altogether was a very extra-
ordinary one, md under all the circumstances the final
examination of the bankrupt must be adjourned sine die.
The Court did not rise until a quarter after five.
In the Court of Excise on Thursday, Solomon Slade
Lee, keeper of a cigar and oyster shop, opposite the Surrey
Theatre, Was charged on three informations with selling
wines and spirits without license. Several Exciie offi-
cers were examined on the occasion, some of whom gave
no very favourable account of the company in the house
on the occasions referred to the sth and 12th of Decem-
ber last, The. Court fined the defendant for the first in-
formation lot, on the second 251., and on the third 15/.
The affair of Captain Gordon and Major Verity again
came 'before the sitting Magistrate at Kensington on
Thursday, when the agent for the Captain said it was the
intention of his client to carry the case to the Sessions,
and the Major was therefore bound over to appear in
his own recognizanees for 500!., and two sureties for
2501. each.
