LAW INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL DISTRICT BANKRUPTCY

- ' ----ciiiiii•, Nov. 14.
Commissioners Sfurtnow and PHILLIPS took their
seats at eleven o'clock, and immediately after pro-
ceeded to put several of the legal gentlemen of the
town and neighbourhood into possession of the mode
by which business would be conducted under the
new Act.
Mr. SKIRROW observed, that rules similar to those
adopted in the London Bankruptcy Court would be
adopted in Liverpool, save and except where any new
rules and regulations had been substituted.
Mr. J. C. Thompson, solicitor, said he was con-
cerned in a case in which the bankrupt was ready to
pass his last examination upon the following day, but
that the balance-sheet had not yet been filed. Le
asked, whether the bankrupt could pass his final exa-
mination under the circumstances ?
• Mr. SKIRROW said, the Commissioners had not been
left any discretion in, cases of the kind, inasmuch as
the 14th rule was to the following effect :—" And the
bankrupt's balance-sheet must be filed in duplicate
with the deputy registrar of the Court ten days at
least before the duiappointed for the last examination
of the bankrupt, or the adjournment day thereof, for
that purpose (one copy for the official assignee, and
thetion otherot t
the
efobrai theikr
up
tproceedings)shall
inn; and the last examina-
tion case he passed by the
Court, unless his balance-sheet shall have been duly
filed as aforesaid ; office copies of the balance-sheet,
or such part thereof as shall be required, shall be pro-
vided by the proper officer."
Mr. PHILLIPS said, the rule which had just been
read commanded the Commissioners not to pass the
balance-sheet until the same should have been filed
ten days. The Commissioners were therefore bound
by the words of the Act, although they felt the griev--
ance and hardship of the present case.
Mr. Thompson promised to be prepared with the
balance-sheet and papers relating to the bankrupt's
estate on the following day.
Mr. SKIRROW availed himself of the opportunity to
state publicly that himself and his colleague had been
furnished by a person of considerable experience in
Liverpool, with some regulation with regard to costs,
with a request that the question of costs might be left
to the Registrar, subject to the approval of the Court.
He (Mr. Skirrow) said it was the determination of
Mr. Phillips and himself to establish a uniform rate
of costs if possible, with the view of preventing diffi-
culty and dissatisfaction, and contributing to the pro-
per administration of justice.
The whole of the business under the late Commis-
sioners was transferred to the new ; and, after some
formal proceedings had been gone through, the Court
adjourned at four o'clock until the following day.
No new fiats were issued.

BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT BANKRUPTCY
COURT, Nov. 15.
(Before Commissioners BALGUY and DANIELL.)

IN THE MATTER OF RICE HARRIS'S BANKRUPTCY.

This morning, the Court met for the first time, to
proceed with the regular business. Owing to the
novelty of the proceedings the room was crowded with
solicitors of the town and neighbourhood.
The first case brought forward was that of Mr.
Rice Harris, an extensive glass manufacturer, whose
failure was recently announced. The amount of his
liabilities proved to be greater than previously expected.
The following is an extract from the bankrupt's
balance-sheet
LIABILITIES. g S. (1.

ASSETS.

Good debts, stock, furniture, &c. 7,632 5 6
Deduct excise, taxes...

£5,662 18 9
The time of the Court was almost exclusively oc-
cupied in receiving formal prod of debts. The only
question of the slightest interest which arose was as to
a claim put in by Mr. Bray, solicitor, on the part of a
number of workpeopie, for wages. The wages were
fixed by a special agreement, and, as there wert about
60 claims of this nature, the further consideration of
the claim was postponed until the next meeting.
Sir Edward Samuel Walker proved for 1,051/. Bs.;
Owen Johnson, the late partner of the bankrupt,
proved 'for 1,458/..; Mr. Charles Miles, of Matlock,
proved for 4431. 17s. 10d ; Ur. John Bagnall for 5711.
13s. Bd.; Mr. Joseph wass, of Dudley, 329/. 125.;
Mr. Alexander Harrison, solicitor, for :100/.
In answer to questions from Mr. Fellows, solicitor,
of Dudley,
it appeared that the Birmingham Banking
Company held securities to the amount of 15,0001.
The further hearin , of the case was postponed until
the 13th of December
Mr. Perry, of the London Bankruptcy Court, was
in attendance, for the purpose of rendering the Com-
missioners and other officers his valuable assistance
upon the first opening of the Court.

is a correct list of the officers of the
Court of the Birmingham district :
Commissioners—Mr. Balguy, Queen's Counsel, and
Mr. Daniell, Queen's Counsel.
Registrars—The lion. Mr. Curzon, and Mr. E.

POLICE INTELLIGENCEi
(YESTERDAY.)
WORSHIP-STREET.

Caroline Turville, a young married woman of re-
spectable appearance, was charged with creating a
disturbance, and assaulting police-constable William
Maskell, G 199.

The policeman stated that on the preceding even-
ing he was passing through Dagget s-court, Moor-
fields, when he observed a disorderly' crowd assem-
bled in front of a house occupied by a tradesman
named Smith, in whose family a marriage had taken
place that day. They were making a clattering
noise, commonly called " rough music," with tin-ket-
tles and other utensils, and having been ordered by
Mr. Smith to disperse them, he proceeded to do so
The defendant was standing by apparently counten-
ancing the disorder, and he requested her to go away,
but she refused to do so, and after assailing him with
abusive language she struck him several times on the
breast, upon which he took her into custody.
In answer to the charge, the defendant said that
she resided at No. 12 in the court, and on hearing the
tumult she went old, in common with the rest of her
neighbours, to learn the cause of it. The policeman
made his appearance soon after, and entered Mr.
Smith's house, where he stayed a short time, and on
coining out he wiped his lips, as if he had been
drinking something. He entered the house twice
afterwards, and on leaving it finally, he caught hold
of a little boy, and threw him with violence to the
ground. On observing his conduct, she (defendant)
remarked to him that she thought he might disperse
the crowd by a more gentle mode of treatment, but
the moment she had made the observation, Mr. Smith
exclaimed, "Take that woman into custody," and the
policeman seized her roughly by the arm, and began
dragging her away. She entreated him to allow her
to get her bonnet and shawl, and her husband fol-
lowed them, and repeated the request, but the police-
man took no notice of it, and continued dragging her
along until they reached the station -house. Her arm
was still in pain, owing to the tightness with which
he grasped it, and the mark of his nail was still
visible on her hand. On reaching the station-house
she showed her hand, which was then bleeding very
much, to the Inspector, and the latter immediately
accepted the bail that •A'AS tendered for her appearance
at this Court.

A number of respectable witnesses confirmed this
statement, when Mr. BRouGnTom remarked that the
conduct of the policeman was very improper, and dis-
'charged the defendant,
