Young's. Mrs. Shea led him by the hand. After he
came to Mrs. Shea's lie did not leave till he strove to
ea) home ; the town was quiet on Monday ; might have
gone to Godson's Hotel then ; did not do so ; did not
inquire for Mr. O'Sullivan ; went straight home.
Denis Smith was next called and examined by Mr.
SMITH.—Is a voter of the county of Cork ; proceeded to
Bandon ; was accompanied by others ; saw James Sul-
livan struck with a stone ; was struck himself ; his
hat was taken away, and he was much hurt ; Mr. Payne
was there ; he took witness on his car ; while
in the car he got a blow of a stone which cut him ; he
hen got put of the car, and was driven back towards
Bandon by the people. He went to Mr. Payne's of
Upton ; he remained there from Monday till Friday.
His knee was very sore ; was not quite recovered for a
tivtnight after. He intended to go to Cork to vote ; the
injuries he received prevented him.
By the CHAIRMAN—When you got the blow of the
,tone did you stand or fall 2-1 stood.
Would it be true if it were said that you fell oft' the
car as if you were dead ?—lt would not. -
Captain Barry, wlw was examined the first day, was
ce-called and examined with respect to that part of the
evidence of Mr. Parker which related to his being ac-
sompanied by Captain Barry to his betel. Captain
Barry now stated that the polling was over when he saw
Mr. Parker ; he saw him in the assessor's room ; he
'kinks Mr. Parker was examined before the assessor ;
he (witness) offered protection to Mr. Parker, seeing
that he was a stranger ; he wet with no obstruction in
e al-king to the hotel with Mr. Parker.
William Savage was next called, and stated that he
was a Roman Catholic living at Kanturk. When the
news arrived that Mr. O'Connell was to be a candidate,
rho people became vcry much excited. Mr. Leader, the
Conservative candislate, was the only person he thought
oad of.—(Laughter.) The witness went on to prove
that groat excitement prevailed during the election.
Mr. William Allen, of Kanturk, was next sworn, and
pis testimony went to corroborate the evidence of the
iast witness.

made about the time of the stoppage by a clerk of Mr.
Benson, the accountant. I should imagine he was em-
ployed by the firm. I did not want the book
fur any specific purpose when I took the leaves out.
I never made a single entry in it, but believing it might
be useful. I tore the leaves out, for we were always
wanting blank books.
Can you recollect whether you have burnt any of the
papers ?—None of any consequence. I never burnt a
paper of the slightest importance, nor did I ever burn
any papers by Mr. .Mottram's direction. Each young
man was settled with at the rate agreed on by Mr.
Mottram and Mr. Williams. No doubt they had re-
ceived a similar yearly amount. There was no regular
settlement made for twelve months previous. Ira young
man wanted 101. or 15/. he drew it. A balance had not
been struck in any young man's salary for twelve months
previous. I believe the amount of salary entered in
pencil corresponds with the entries on the leaves de-
stroyed, but I will not swear it. I destroyed the leaves
entirely on my own responsibility.
Mr. Commissioner )Ears—You did very wrong.
Re-examined by Mr. MAYNARD—The entries in the
cash-books are true accounts. To the best of my belief
the entries made on the 2d of November were of sums
paid on that day, and I say the same with regard to the
other entries. I made the majority of the payments. I
cannot say with regard to the payment to Mr. Drewry
whether I paid it myself or not. I believe Mr. Mottram
paid Mr. Bennett. The payment to Turner and Co. was
made by Mr. Mottram on the 2d.

By Sir. WRIGHT—I can swear that the goods were
sent to Mr. Ainsworth, one of the assignees, a day or
two before the stoppage, to the amount of 450/. It ex-
ceeded that amount. This was certainly a week be-
fore the stoppage. I. believe they were silk goods. The
invoice was sent to Mr. Laekington, the official assignee.
I have never spoken to him about it. I never told Mr.
Williams that I had burnt the salary-book. That was
the only parcel of goods sent back to Mr. Ainsworth,
the assignee. Mr. Mottram asked nie about the invoice.
I knew nothing of it. lie asked Mr. Quilter's clerk in
my presence, and Mr. Quilter's clerk said he had had
priers from Mr. Lackington, but he believed all had
been returned. 1 have searched for it since, but have
not found it. It was not sent back with the goods. I
paid the clerks' salaries generally.
By Mr. MtYN.%nD—The goods were returned, I
should say, about the Ist of November, and the stop-
page took place on the sth. Mr. Ainsworth offered one
per cent. discount for tell days. Mr. Mottram was of-
fended at that, and sent the goods back, as he would not
hare them on those terms. The goods were sent back
unpacked, and a letter was written. stating the reason
they were sent back. _ _

On his cross-examination, being asked by Mr. Acts-TEN
whether he ever before voted for a Tory or Conservative,
u: said that he did nut understand those denominations,
hut he always supported the Protestant Church.
Mr. George Jones, stipendiary Magistrate, residing in
Gantry, was examined by Mr. Sergeant WILANGHAM.
"le was in Cork during the last election in his official ca-
acity. He saw great excitement prevailing. Saw several
tiersons injured. Means, by several, from eight to
c:welve persons. Their clothes were torn and .they
.were abused. Saw two persons cut. Saw persons go-
ng into shops for refuge. Was generally employed, him-
,elf, in the neighbourhood of the Court-house. Rescued
several persons from the mob. Accompanied Mr.
i'ayne with the dragoons. Missiles were thrown at
item. Was struck himself by a missile. He believes

•.with a stick. Was obligt;d to turn round with
the dragoons as if he were going to act on
;he offensive. Mr. Wallace requested him to accompany
Ain a part of the way home, as he was afraid. Witness
:lid so. Does not think there was safety for Conserva-
tive voters, except ►where they were protected by the
military or police. Gave evidence before Mr. Collins,
the assessor.

Mr. MAYNARD—Such an account would be useful in
many respects.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—If I had the power of
making rules, I would make every bankrupt make out
such an account for the year before his stoppage.
Mr. Mottram—l got 60,0001. out of 70,0001. by the
creditors to sign a composition ; and if it had not been
fur Mr. Ainsworth, I

It being after four o'clock when the direct examina-
tion of Mr. Jones was over, the cross-examination was
postponed till eleven o'clock to-day.

Mr. Commissioner EvA.Ns—Do be quiet, Sir.
Mr. C. J. Kirby examined by Mr. MAYNARD—I was
in the service of the bankrupt. The book produced was
the entering book in the silk department. The altera-
tions appear to be in myfigures. I cannot tell you the
meaning of them, it is so long since. The date, Nov. 4,
might have been there. I can only say the figures are
mine, but why they are-put there I cannot say. I should
say that those goods entered to Mottram and Moore were
sold to them. I.do not understand what those entries
mean. •

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF B-INKRUPTCY. May 17

WILLIAMS AND MOTTRAM'S BANKRUPTCY.
(ADJOURNED EXAMINATION.)

The adjourned examination of these bankrupts took
place yesterday at the Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-
Street, before Mr. Commissioner Evans. The case
,cemed to excite the greatest interest among the mem-
bers of the linendiapery trade, several of whom were
present. The Court, however, was not nearly so crowded
Is on the occasion of Hitchcock's examination.

The meeting had been called to enable the bankrupt
Nlottrain to account for the loss of a case of French
goods, value 6151. ; to revise the private account of
Charles Mottram ;to receive a statement-of the affairs
of the concern in Lamb's Conduit-street, up to Jan. 1,
1840 ; and to receive C. Mottram's answer to the requi-
iition of the official assignee for further information.
Mr. Maynard appeared on the part of the triule assig-
aces, and Mr. Wright appeared for the bankrupt Mottram.
Mr. Bankes, the accountant having handed in the
:bankrupts' balance sheet,
Mr. MAYNARD asked if there were any vouchers for
Mottram and Moore's payment. The Official Assignee—
Ves.

In whose writing are they ?—Mr. Mottram's.
When did you get them ?—About three o'clock
yesterday.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—I see in this account an
entry of goods furnished. Mr. Mottram—Yes, they are
goods furnished to my own family. The books show
the history of the transaction.

Mr. 3IAYNARD—The bankrupt takes credit for some
goods that have been stolen. Now I do not wish he
should take credit for those goods twice, which
suspect he has done ; once in the profit and
loss account, and again as goods stolen. Are you
prepared to show that that is not the case ?
Mr. islottrant—l shall be happy to give any explana-
tion in my power. I have given over all the invoices, and
I cannot find any relating to those goods. No doubt
they were lost.
Mr. MAYNARD—I have every reason to believe that
there were some goods stolen, but what I want to as-
certain is, whether the same goods have been taken
credit for twice over ?

Mr. Commissioner EvAss—How have you made out
your account of purchases ? Mr. Mottram—l cannot
tell what they were—l know they were French goods,
but Ido not know what they were. I know they were
lost, from the information I received from the person em-
ployed in that department. Every one on the premises
knew it.

Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Have you made out an
lceount of all the goods purchased ? Mr. Mottram—l
believe wel have. I have gone through the books. I
know nothing but what is in the books. I never knew
,what goods they were.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—If they had been paid
tor, there must have been some account of them.

kr. MAYNARD—And if they had not been paid for,
there could have been no loss sustained.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Do you mean to say that
you lost goods to the amount of 6131., and made no in-
luiry about it ? Mr. Mottram—lt was some person in
our employment who told me.
Mr. MAYNARD—Whe? Mr. Mottram—Mr. Hersley,
who was at that time in our employ.
Mr. MAYNARD—Where is he now ? Mr. Maynard—
Ido nut know, _ _

Mr.MAYNann—Another circumstance which requires
,xplanation, is the fact of the bankrupt appearing to
.lave paid to the clerks various amounts of salaries im-
nediately prior to the stoppage. It appears they settled
,with all the clerks. The amount paid for salaries in Oc-
ober is 6701 The peculiarity of the transaction is this,
;hat, assuming these payments to have been made, the
bankrupt, for some reason or other, made a large in-
crease in the amount of the salaries which the clerks had
up to that time been in the habit of receiving. It will be
,etnembered that the bankrupt Williams had stated that
e had been informed by Mottram that the salary-book
lad been destroyed. Mottram charged 'Williams with
awing m.vde an mat ue statement, and producci the book
,Which he stated to be the salary-book, which the other
iad Said had been destroyed. It is evident that the
wok in its present state is not the salary book, and I
:hall call Mr. Thompson, who was formerly with the
bankrupts, and also other evidence, for the purpose of
showing the state in which the book was formerly. Call
Mr. Thompson.
Robert Binney Thompson, of 108, Wood-street,
examined—l was formerly in partnership with the
bankrupts. My connection with them ceased on 7th
August, 1840. My brother was at that time their chief
clerk ; he left their service on the last day of December,
the same year.

Do you recollect if there was any book kept by
the firm in which was entered the names of the
clerks and the amount of salaries at which they were
engaged am quite . sure there was a book of that
' sort. The book produced was purchased by me. One
end was intended to enter the orders given to manufac-
turers, and the other to place the amount of salaries. I
placed the names of the young men with the salaries at
one end—that has disappeared. I made entries in it
respecting the salaries, but those entries no longer
appear.
By Mr. Morra.m—lt is the book, is it not ?—Yes,
but those entries are not there.
Mr. Raiford Jones examined ,by Mr. MAYNARD—I
succeeded Mr. Thompson's brother as the principal clerk
to the bankrupts. I have seen that book before. I
have seen it in a different state from that in which it
now appears. Three or four leaves have been torn out,
which I myself tore out between two and three months
before the stoppage. Those leaves contained the me-
morandums which stated the amount of salaries at
which each of the young men were engaged. I cannot
say what became of them, whether they were torn up
or burnt. This book was useful as a guide, as long as
we had thirty or forty young men. Afterwards,
when the numbers were reduced it was no longer of any
use to me. I knew the young men's salaries as well as
I did my own, and wanting a book for some other pur-
pose, I thought myself justified in tearing out those few
leaves, and using the book produced. I recollect
Mr. Mottram settling the salaries of the young men about
the time of the stoppage. To the best of my recollection
those settlements were made upon the footing of the
corrected entry, made in the leaves torn out—there
having beau, at various times,
alterations made in the
amount of the salaries by their being advanced. The
leaves torn oat, showed in some instances, not only the
original engagements, but the alterations. In .
of mine.
that, I mean to say the book was not kep t properly saying
like
e
another book,
er
rgular entries it was a mere memorandum-book
always made in the cash
hook. :11r. Mottram settled with me at the rate of 300/.
a-year. I had received that rate before. My salary was
assumed to be that from the time I took Mr. Thompson's
situation.
The amount of salary I received as second
clerk,
was 130/. at-year. I entered the bankrupts' set--
vice in 1840, in May Or June. This entry of 300/.
a-year, made in pencil, was made nine or ten mouths
ago. That entry was made at the same time that I de-
stroyed the leaves. I have put in pencil the salaries of
most of the young men in this book. I should say of
all. I think they were all done at the same time, with-
in a day or two of the destruction of those leaves. I
should imagine they would correspond
,with the entries
in those books. I have not the least doubt of. it. . I do
notthink the entries now in it, were in it then. At the
time I took the leaves out, the book was blank. The
entries now appearing in it are not in the hand-writing
of any one in our employment. I should say they were

Mr. Commissioner EvAxs,---Do you not know what
you meant by that entry ?—I cannot say ; I do not
know. I consider I put thew there because they are my
figures ; but why I put them there I cannot say. Ido
not recollect who told me to make the entries. I thought
this was the entering silk book ; but I see it is not. I
should have put down anything I was told, without in-
quiring why. This entry, Gouger, Wood-street, is in
my writing. Mr. Gouger, I believe, is still in Wood-street.
the letter of the bankrupt, Mottram, to the official
assignee, in reply to his requisition for further informa-
tion, was read, and admitted to be satisfactory.
The bankrupt Mottram was then examined relative to
various bill transactions with Faucit, with Parish, and
ith Mottram and Moore. With regard to Faucit, the
bankrupt admitted that there was a mistake in his ac-
counts, and he was told he must correct the mistake in
his account before he swore to it. With regard to the
bill transactions with Parish and with Mottram and
Moore, be offered the following explanation :—He had
drawn a bill for 1,500/. on his private account on
Mottram
due, Mottram and Moore paid Parish 5001., and he
consented to renew for the remainder, if Williams and
Mottram would become security. They joined in the
second bill, and therefore Parish came upon the estate.
All the bills given to Faucit were accommodation bills.
Mr. Brierly explained with regard to the payment to
him, that he wrote for 1001. on the 30th of October, to-
gether with certain bills for amounts due to him.
Mr. Mottram said, that the letter enclosing the bills
was posted on the 3d of November, but that, being put
in too late, it did not reach Mr. Brierly until the sth
of November. Mr. Brierly had, in the interval, come
to London, and had had other bills given him. While
Mr. Brierly was in London, Mr. Brierly's son bad paid
away the bills remitted in the letter to the parties for
whom they bad been intended consequently Mr.
Brierly had been overpaid.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—If the bankrupt puts in
that account of purchases to which I have alluded, I
think he may be passed.
Mr. Bankes, the accountant, said that an account of
purchases had already been furnished.
Mr. MAYNARD admitted that he thought it would be
all but impossible for the bankrupt to furnish the account
required. All he wanted to know was whether credit
had been taken for that parcel of French goods twice.
Do you find any entry relating to them ?
Mr. Mottram—lt never can be found out. Depend
upon it, the goods never came into our warehouse.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—AII I can say is, that any
account the creditors require must, under the circum-
stances of this case, be furnished before I can let you
pass your examination.
Mr. MAYNARD would not press for the account.
With regard to the entries in the book, as to which
he had examined Kirby, be would ask Mr. Mottram a
few questions.
Mr. 3lottram—l know nothing about them. I be-
lieve them to relate to goods sold to Mottram and Moore,
but I never sold Mottram and Moore a piece a goods in
my life. I gave no directions to have those entries
made, and I know nothing about them.
With regard to his transaction with a certain house in
Manchester (we understood the name to be Godfrey),
which had since become insolvent, Mr. Mottram
gave the following statement :—I had been purchasing
goods in Manchester, and these parties requested me to
deposit the goods I had so purchased in their warehouses
until I should require them, and they would see if they
could not purchase a portion of them of me. They
purchased 1,100/. worth, and gave their acceptances for
the amount ' - there was 4,000/. worth in their hands ; I
got nothing for the goods ; the acceptances were dis-
honoured, and they are now indebted to my estate in
t hat sum.

A Creditor said that the house in question had since
compounded with their creditors, and had paid 6s. in
he pound. He wished to know if they had got a release
from Williams and Mottram.
Mr. MAYNARD—The assignees have given no release.
A Creditor complained that some of the meetings had
been private and that he had been refused admittance
at them, while at the same time the evidence taken at
those meetings had been published.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS denied that the meetings
had been private ; he disliked private meetings ; if gen-
tlemen were to be witnesses of course they would have
to leave the room, as in courts of justice witnesses were
ordered out of Court ; and with regard to the publication
of the proceedings, he thought it of the greatest pos-
sible advantage that everything that passed should be
published.

The same Creditor then complained of having been
refused summonses for meetings at the cost of the estate.
Mr. Commissioner livaNs—lf you think you can
benefit the estate, have meetings. If you benefit the
estate, the estate shill pay—if you do nut, you must pay
for them yourself.
A Creditor believed that if it had not been for the
solicitor, they would already have had ss. in the pound,
which they had been offered.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—I think it would be wrong
to let you go without stating, that if such an offer had
been made to me, I, as a creditor, would never havo'ac-
eepted ss. in the pound. The statement of the bank-
rupt, when he made that offer, was so monstrous, that I
do not think the creditors would have been justified in
accepting it. I believe the creditors will now get as
touch as was o&red.
A Creditor did not like the one-sided way in which the
thing had been arranged. He did not like the conduct
of the official assignee, in suffering documents tobe taken
from his office to Mr. Quitter's.
. .

Mr. Commissioner fVANS—That was incorrect in the
official assignee.
Mr. Lackington (the official assignee)—lt was merely
with a view to assist the investigation.
Mr. Commissioner EVANB-1 wish no documents to go
out of the official assignee's hands.
A Creditor—Mr. Lackington will no doubt be paid for
his trouble. I do not think the estate ought to be charged
with two accountants.

Mr. Commissioner EveNe—You should attend at the
audit. You may depend I will not suffer the estate to be,
charged for two accountants, unless good reason can be
shown me for their employment.
Mr. Mottram stated in answer to various questions
that all the:acceptances of the firm falling due the begin-
ning of November had been honoured.
Mr. Commissioner Evass—lt appears that the bank-
rupts' expenses amounted to 28,000 L, while their profits
amount to 5,0001. only. However. that is a matter for
the consideration of the creditor& If they'd° not wish for
any further explanations, as far as I am concerned, I
mmt pass the bankrupts.
Mr. Mottraui could assure • the Commissioner and his
creditors that In) had not done wrong intentionally. He
felt much fur his creditors—he felt that it was his duty
to do all in his power to, make up their•losscs to them,
and he trusted that at some future day he should be able
t" do so. No exertion should be wanting on his part to
suable him to make it up to them hereafter.
The balance-sheet having been corrected, the bank-
rupts were sworn to its accuracy, and were then both
declared to have passed their final examination.

On Sunday last, the tower of the Church of Epoye,
near Rheims, was struck by lightning. The electric
fluid descended in to the body of the church, where a con-
gregation was at vespers, affected four or live persons
;,ligitly, and escaped without doing any further damage.

HIE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 18, 1842.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.) . .

W . Bruce and Mary Ann Behan, were convicted of
assaulting Jane Lucas on the loth, of April list, and
taking from her person a bonnet and shawl of small
value.

The COURT, the prisoners having been previously con-
victed, sentenced them to 15 years' transportation.
Caroline Amelia Fletcher, a girl only 15 years of age,
was convicted of stealing five sovereigns and several
articles of wearing apparel, the property of a poor
woman named Catherine Harvey, who, out of compassion,
had sheltered her in her house. The prisoner, who,
though young in years, appeared to be old in vice, was
sentenced by the Court to ten years' transportation.
Charlotte Drake, 17, was indicted for stealing six
silver spoons and other articles, the property of Samuel
Syred, and William Gowland, 70, and Margaret Berry,
43, widow, were indicted for feloniously receiving part
of the property, knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Doane conducted the prosecution, and Messrs.
Phillips and Payne appeared for the prisoners.
The case in itself was of an ordinary character, except
from what transpired in the course of it, in reference to the
conduct of a man named Tolhurst, one of the constables
of the D division, who appeared to have acted
in a most unjustifiable and improper manner
in the transaction. The prisoner Drake lodged
with the prosecutor, and she took an opportunity to open
her box and remove the property mentioned in the in-
dictment. The other prisoners were alone charged with
receiving a watch, and the only evidence against them
was admissions alleged to have been made by them to the
officer, Tolhurst. L pun his being closely cross-examined
by Mr. Phillips, he was, after some demur, eompelled to
admit that when Gowland and Berry were locked up, he
went to their lodgings and took away a great quantity
of valuable property that had nothing to do with the
charge made against them, and that with respect to any
great portion of that property he made no mention of it
to his Inspector, or in any other manner, and that it was
still in his possession.
The RECORDER, in addressing the Jury, commented
with some severity upon the conduct of the policeman,
and left it for them to say how far they could rely upon
his evidence, as affecting the prisoner, charged with re-
ceiving the property.
The Jury convicted the prisoner Drake, and acquitted
both the alleged receivers.
The RECORDER then directed that no expenses should
be paid to the witness, Tolhurst; and he added, that in
his opinion his conduct ought to be made the subject of
inquiry by his superiors. He thought he was not en-
titled to go to the prisoners' lodgings, and take a quan-
tity of valuable property, which had nothing to do with
the charge against them ; and it looked still more sus-
picious, when it appeared that he had given no list of the
property taken to his Inspector, or-any other person. He
could only speak of the ease as it appeared before him, and
he did not wish to prejuiice the constable's conduct, bat
could not help expressing his opinion that it was a pro-
ceeding which ought to be inquired into.
The Inspector on duty at the Court said, he would take
care that the matter was reported to the Commissioners.
The RECORDER said, if that were done, he had no
doubt a proper investigation Would take place. The pre-
sent conduct of the police was most praiseworthy ; and
it was necessary, for the sake of their character as a
body, that where individual cases of misconduct were
discovered, that they should be rigidly investigated.
The policeman intimated that he could explain his
conduct.

The RECORDER said, he should not enter into the
inquiry, but when it took place he would remind him,
that it would be important for him to show that, having
taken a quantity of valuable property from a prisoner's
apartments, he mentioned the circumstance, and gave a
list of the articles he had taken to his Inspector, to show
that they would be forthcoming.
Francis
.Corney, aged 26, was indicted for stabbing
and wounding Mary Anne Jones, with intent to do- her
some grievous bodily harm.
The occurrence took place in a public-house, where
both parties were drinking. A quarrel took place, and
the prisoner was struck by the prosecutor with a poker,
and upon this he struck her with a knife.
He was found guilty of an aggravated assault, and the
Recorder sentenced him to be imprisoned, and kept to
hard labour for twelve calendar months.
Samuel Lewis, 29, was convicted of a similar offence,
and he was also sentenced to twelve months' imprison-
ment.

John Summons alias Gillingham, who was convicted at
a former session of obtaining money by falsely pretend-
ing that be bad some Reading sauce to dispose of, the
article being, in fact, a spurious composition, was brought
up for judgment, and after some consultation with the
Counsel for the prosecution and the prisoner, the Re-
corder ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 20s; ,
The business of the session terminated shortly after-
wards.

dragged back, and with difficulty saved. It was afterwards
ascertained that she was discharged from her situation
in consequence of her incorrigible addiction to drunk-
enness.

In answer to questions from the Magistrate, the pri-
soner said that her father had been a Portuguese mer-
chant, but he died long ago, and she was without a friend.
She was remanded to the New Prison, in the hope
that she would profit by the admonitions of the chaplain.
