COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Av. 15.
1N THE MATTER OF JAMES ALLAN.
The bankrupt was described as a provision-agent and
own-dealar, carrying on business in Tooley-street. The
zunount of debts appearing in his schedule was 4,7801.,
while the available assets, so far as they had been yet
realised, was very trifling. The good debts were stated
at 3901., doubtful 3201- and bad debts about 1,7001. He
was also a mortgagee upon some property in Wales, but
it was doubtful whether this would realise anything to
the estate.
The bankrupt was examined at some length, but no-
t ino general interest elicited in his evidence.
Several creditors having tendered proofs of debts, the
c'toiee of acsignees wa; proceeded with, when Messrs.
Jacobs and Nichols were appointed.

and lastly, the position of the estate, which is known as
SLABBERT'S POORT,

one of the most valuable and extensive estates throughout the Cape
of Good Hope. It is situated in the field Cornetcy of Tarka, in
the county of Beaufort, being in south latitude 33.15 to 20, and
east longitude 23.13 to 15, near the Iraka River. It is
A SHEEP FARM,

and unquestionably may be ranked as decidedly one of the best in
the Cape. The hill pastures are covered with sweet grass tram
the base to the summit. On the plains will be found plenty of
grass and succulent herbage, on which sheep and cattle get fat
very rapidly. In this district the Estate comprehends
43,304 ACRES OF RICH PASTURAGE,
which must always be the source of immense pecuniary gain.
THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE

These stockings, after the fire was discovered, were
found in the box of the prisoner. His account of them
was con trainiory.
The Jury, ator a consultLtion of some length, returned
a verdict of (14tiky.
He was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and
hard labour.
At the close of this a few trifling cases were tried, and
the business of the Court finished.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and a Special Jury.)
TUE QUEEN V. THE REV. THOMAS JOHN THEOBALD.
This was an indictment against the Rev. defendant,
for two assaults upon Caroline Dornis, with an intent to
commit a rape. The bill was found at the last Quarter
Sessions in this place, and had been removed by certiorari
into the Queen's Bench. The case excited great interest,
and the Court was densely crowded. It commenced with
tl'e sitting of the Court and was not concluded till about
six o'clock, though but four witnesses were examined.
Mr. Crowder and Mr. Edwards conducted the prose-
cution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Cockburn
and Mr. Bere. •
Mr. CROWDER having opened the case to the Jury,
the witnesses were called to establish it. _

WHOLE YEAR,
which, ender able management, it is needless to remark, will afford
the most ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the
profit arising from the export and sale of
.Wool from this prospe-
rous colony has lately been most encouraging. There is a small
house upon the estate, with a cheep krall near it; a garden planted
with fruit trees and 3,000 vines ; also five permanent springs,
giving a never failing supply of water.
The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes tfie Estates
as follows :—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com-
mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka ; and as the high
road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the
farm, it presents a very favourable position for
A STORE, OR SHOP, UPON A GREAT SCALE."
Tull particulars of the position and advantages of this extensive
and unequalled Estate may be had of D. H. NVilliams, Esq., solicitor,
Copthall.court, Throgmorton-street, City ; at the Auction Mart ;
and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent-garden.

The prosecutrix, who is a very pretty and interesting
looking girl, twenty-one years of age, was first called.
She stated that, in January last, she was living at Trud-
doxhill, in the parish of Nunney, with her father and
mother, the former of whom had been in the employ of
the Earl of Cork for a great many years. Her mother
and sister took in washing and dressmaking, and she
(the prosecutrix) assisted them. The defendant is the
rector of Nunney. In January last he came to her
mother's house, and inquired if she had either of her
daughters who would like a housemaid's situation in his
establishment. She saw Mrs. Theobald, was approved of,
and engaged to fill the place. At the time of her going
there there was a cook, a nursery maid, a servant boy,
and a coachman in Mr. Theobald's establishment. Two
(flys after she was there Mrs. Theobald. the nursery-
maid, and the children went out at two o'clock for
a walk, and Mr. Theobald left the house at
the same, time. In about a quarter of an hour
afterwards he returned and went up to his bed-room,
and then rang his bell. She saw as she entered that Mr.
Theobald was standing behind the door. As soon as
she was inside the door defendant shut it, and when she
turned to leave the room she perceived that his dress
was not in a becoming and delicate order. He then.
wired her, threw her on the bed, and committed one of
the assaults complained of. She left the room and ran
to her own, and after dressing herself joined the cook in
the kitchen; to whom she mentioned how her master had
used her. She afterwards (as she said) told it to her
aunt, who lived in the village. Two or three days after
this her master went out to dinner. Mrs. Theobald went
to bed before his return, she sleeping in another room
adjoining to the defendant's. When he came back he
went into the drawing-room, rang the bell, and or-
tiered prosecutrix to bring up a glass of water.
1 She did so, and he then asked her where she was
ruing to sleep. She answered, " With the cook.
as J hare always done before." He • replied, " I
know hater than that, for I heard your mistress say
pair were to sleep in the front room (a spare room) by
yourself." She said she should do no such thing; she
should sleep with the cook, as she had ever done before.-
She determined not to go to bed, and tho more so, as
upon examining the door she found she could not quite
shut it, and that there was no way of fastening it. She,
therefore, wrapped a shawl round her, and sat down in a
chair. In about half an hour her master entered, told
her to go to bed, and upon her answering that she would
not, committed the second assault. She resisted with all
her force, and after a time got out of the room, and ran
up stairs to the cook, into whose room she got, and with
whom she passed the remainder of the night. The next
day she went home to her mother.
Mr. COCKBURN then cross-examined the witness for
more than three hours. During this time she became
faint, had an hysterical fit, and had to be led out of the
Court. On lwr return she was accommodated with a
chair, and want through the remainder of her cross-ex-
amination without interruption.
Three other witnesses were then called, and among
those her mother, to confirm her evidence as to having
told of the conduct of her master.
Mr. COCKBURN, with his usual ability and eloquence,
addressed the Jury for the defendant. A great part
of his cross-examination had been for the purpose of
contradictions, to effect which he must have called wit-
nesses. Before, however, he had concluded his address
to the Jury, the foreman asked the Learned Judge to
permit them to retire for a few minutes, which request
his Lordship granted. On their return the foreman
again addressed the Court, and said that unless his
Lordship wished the case to go on, the Jury did not, as
they were all agreed to find a verdict of acquittal.
His LORDSHIP said in that case there was clearly no
necessity to proceed with the case, and a verdict of Not
Guilty was immediatelrreturned.

This was an action of trespass, brought by the plaintiff
against the defendants, for several trespasses committed
on his residence at Sharphorn Park, near Glastonbury.
Mr. Erle, Mr. Kinglake, Mr. Butt, and Mr. Edwards,
appeared for the plaintiff ; for the defendants, Mr. Ser-
geant Bompas, Mr. Bere, and Mr. Garrow.
Mr. ERLE, in opening the case, stated that the plaintiff
%vas a gentleman well known in the geolozical world,
not only in this country, but throughout the Continent,
as the collector of the splendid specimens of saurine re-
mains, which, within a few years, have been added to the
British Museum.
Several lawsuits have originated out of these tres-
passes, but the Judge finally advised a reference of the
matters in dispute.

for ten years.
(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.)
_ . _ _

.Toseph Stinton, a laboratory man at Messrs. Preston's,
druggists, Smithfield-bars, was brought before Mr. Ald.
Humphery, charged with robbing his employers.
.J. B. Frost, the warehouseman, stated that for some
time past the prisoner had been sus; ected, and on Satur-
day he determined to watch him in consequenee of seeing
him with an empty half-pint bottle in his hand rroing
into the warehouse. In a few minutes he camebback
with the bottle full.of opodeldoc, and it was afterwards
found in his closet. .
Mr. Stanton Preston said he searched for the bottle,
and found it in the prisoner's box under his cap. lic
then went with a policeman to search the prisoner's
lodging at No. 3, Dean's-court, Doctor's commons, and
he found in the prisoner's box several parcels, of the
value of 41. The articles were all of the description
Messrs. Preston deal in, and were wrapped in their paper.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

,
John Blandford Elwin was indicted for uttering a bill
of exchange, with a forged acceptance send forged in-
dorsement, with intent to defraud William Pitt and others.
Mr. Selfe prosecuted ; Mr. Cooke defended the prisoner.
From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the
prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner on the 11th of
larch last applied to Mr. Herbert, the agent of the
County, of Gloucester Bank, at their branch at North-
leach, to discount a bill of exchange for 3001. drawn by
him upon Mr. George Stone, of Cheltenham, purporting
to be accepted by him, and to have the indorsement of
Thomas Palmer. It appeared that the prisoner, in
I January last, married a Miss Stone, the niece of a Mr.
Win. Stone, at Cheltenham, and the sister of Mr. Thos.
Palmer, a draper at Bourton, and in answer to inquiries
from Mr. Herbert, he stated to him that the bill was given
by Mr. Stone, in respect of some propertyin which his (the
prisoner's) wife and Mrs. Palmer were jointly interested
under their father's will, of which Mr. Stone was exe-
cutor. When the bill arrived at maturity it Ns as dis-
honoured, and in the meantime the prisoner had left
Bourton in April last. Mr. Stone and Mr. Palmer now
proved that their names upon the bill were forgeries, and
the prisoner, both on his apprehension and before the
Magistrates, admitted the offence, but added that he had
no intention of defrauding any one, and had used the
names only for his temporary accommodation.
Mr. COOKE, in addressing the Jury, said that it was
impossible for him to deny the legal guilt of the prisoner,
but suggested that the verdict which the Jury were com-
pelled to come to might, perhaps, be accompanied with a
recommendation to mercy, if they believed that the pri-
soner had fully expected when he drew the bill to have
funds to meet it when it arrived at maturity.
The Jury having found the prisoner Guiltyi,oalsilite;
commended him to mercy accordingly, his
setitelleed hikikto transportation for well pip.

Brougham was frequently seen employed in this
honourable diplomacy, executing. it with the correct-
ness of a butler. The Duke of Leinster, in his turn,
took the same duty. Brougham entered the Club
just as the schools of philosophy, the bar, the senate,
had made him ; and though forensic and Parliamen-
tary habits might be considered inisractable materials
for a Beef-steaker, yet no man entered it with more
of- its spirit, or threw himself into its occasional gla-
diatorelup with greater glee.

THE, NEw TARIFF.—Sir Robert Peel's new mOtte
sure is beginning to operate. That very enterprisiug
individual, Mr. James Watt, jute, of Dundee and New
York, has lately imported several ,thousand barrels of
twit beef, which is being disposed of ,at prices greatly
under the curent rates in this country. It was shipped
at New York and landed in Liverpool. Seen hundred
barrels.were brought round here, and the greater portion
of them are already sold. Each barrel coetnitx4 ahent
200 pounds, and the price charged in barrels is about
,20.
per pound. The duty is nearly 10. per pound, leaving
little more than ld. for the original cost of the artAl
and the expenses of bringing it from New York ! The
beef is perfectly wholesome, and the quality; although
scarcely equal to that of this country, is good ; and the
low piece will enable many a poor man, whose pot has
often had to. boil without a morsel of meat in it, to ob•
min what wps formerly beyond his reach. Considerable
9uantitjeeo9 have been sold in retail in different shops
in town, we understand, at 30. per pound for the best
pieces.—Dundee Chronicle.
ETroRT OF MANUFACTURED Goons.—The 114
turbances in Manchester are seriously interfering with
goods intended for shipment at this port. Where the
goods %tem ready for packing, it has been difficult to get,
the work done with the usual despatch ; while the turn-
out °Oho trades generally connected with manufactures
has rendered it impossible to rack them at all, from the
want of boxes the joiners being, for the most purl, idle.
Should the disturbances continue much loeger, vessels
for foreign ports must either be detained or be sent u.
sea without the goods intended for shipment. Liverpoe 1
MIDDLE IND LOWSR ULASSES.—Thert is a fea-
ture in the present commotions, and in the cir-
cumstances attending them, which is unexampled in
the history of all similar occurencei. By the accounts
from Airdrie- and Dunfermline, it will be observed
that a great many of the middle classes heartily
sympathise with the poor workmen., Indeed, it cannot
in any part of the manufacturing districts Le otherwise',
becaus, in those places the sufferings are seen and
known, the shopkeeper tinds himself ruined side by side
I. with the master and the workman--every one feels his
condition growing worse—tvery one is. anxious for a
change that would produce better times ; and as the
great cause of all this derangement is no sect et, bet, on
the contrary, has been long exposed and its conse-
quences foretold, the people of the middle ranks are not.-
surprised at the disturbances, and, from all Accounts,
very far front being alarmed by them. Rich and rot'.
in the commercial districts have for years been bcgeeog
and praying the Government to avert such a crisis. The,
student has left his learning, and the pastors of the
polite have neglected their sacred calling, to crave the
Government for food for the poor. All their statementss.
and reasons, all their cries and entreaties, on behalf of
suffering humanity have, however, been heedlessly dis-
regarded ; and now, when the crisis appears advancing,
when the evil day seems to have arrived, can anything
else le expected but that the same ranks of society—
the merchant sinking in business and the humane minis-
ter of the gospel, who watches over the interest of his
flock—will unite as one man in aiding and alleviating
the privations of the poor ? And yet with all this, the
Government of this land seems vain enough to set at de- •
fiance such an invulnerable combination of those they
rule over, and to treat as unworthy of notice the starva-
tion of the working classes, the runt of those en, aged in
business, and the urgent prgyers of the ministers of
peace, sent up to them for the benefit of both—Gtoyote

We find the following in the Observittevr of Wu,-
