BANKRUPTCY.THIS DAY.)

IN RE HANNAH CHARLTON.
In this matter the bankrupt had carried on busi-
ness as a milliner and dress-maker in Regent-street.
Mr. WHITEHHRsT appeared on behalf of the assig-
nees to-day, to cause an account to be rendered of
certain goods which she had got from Mr. Tinkler
shortly before her bankruptcy, and which she had
allowed to be taken back again by that gentleman.
The Learned Counsel went on at great length to con-
tend that she had been guilty of a fraudulent prefer-
ence towards Mr. Tinkler, and that she should not be
entitled to pass her final examination until the pro-
perty was satisfactorily accounted for.
Sir CHARLES WILLIAMS said he was sorry the word-
ing of the new Act of Parliament was so forcible.
In his opinion the word fraudulent was quite inappli-
cable ; it would be much better if the term illegal were
used. The present question was too important to be
decided hastily, and he should therefore defer the
judgment for the present.
The further examination was then adjourned, ten
days' notice being required.

and he left him to mind his shop for an hour a few
evenings ago, and on his -return he found the shop
stripped completely—two silver watches, two metal
watches, nine breast-pins, and several brooches
were gone.
The officer who took the prisoner into custody said
if time were allowed,

not a farthing to procure a mouthful of food, the want
of which made him quite infirm.
Mr. CoMas ordered the prisoner to be taken to the
workhouse, and obtain immediate relief.
