SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL. )
MATHESON V. REYNELL.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of IV. 165.,
for gravel supplied for the defendant, who paid 81. into
Court, which he contended was all that he was indebted.
The facts of the case were these :—The plaintiff is the
lessee of some gravel pits at Kensington, and the defendant
is the owner of a great portion of Kensington-crescent. In
April last defendant went to the pits, and said that he
wished his half of the crescent to be regravelled. He did
not fix any quantity, but said he wished it to be done in a
superior manner, and made a good job of, as the inhabitants
complained of the manner in which Mr. Scargill's portion
was done. Plaintiff was to send in as much as necessary,
and to get men to lay it down. It was proved that 70 cubic
yards (single horse loads) had been sent in, charged at 3s. a
yard. This charge was alleged to be low, the usual price
being 4s.
On the part of the defendant a witness was called, who de-
posed that the plaintiff was told by defendant's agent after-
wards
that 27 loads would be about the quantity required.
Plaintiff, however, said that he had received his orders. It
was contended that 27 loads would have been enough, as
only 20 had been used on a previous occasion. It was ad-
mitted that the quality was good, and the work done well,
but it was urged that a tradesman was not justified in avail-
ing himself of a vague and general order to " make a good
job" to rend in three times as much materials as was necessary.
In reply it was contended that the defendant's agent, who
was overlooking the work, ought to have interfered if lie
thought there was an unnecessary delivery.
Verdict for plaintiff.
BRICKLEY AND ANOTHER v. BARDELL.
This was an action to recover the amount of an attorney's
bill, but the case was postponed.
The Court rose at eleven o'clock.

BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE JOHN SAVAGE.
This bankrupt, who was a licensed victualler in Compton-
street, Soho, came up for his final examination.
Mr. LUCAS appeared to oppose, on the ground that the in-
solvent had not rendered a full account of his property, and
that the assignee of the estate, who was friendly to the
bankrupt, had disposed of the house to the brewers ''or just
the amount of their debt, although it was at least worth
double.
The insolvent said he formerly kept a house in Circus-
square, Marylebone, but lost the license ; he then sublet
portions at 134/. per year, but in May last gave up possession
to his son, on condition of his taking all the liabilities and
pay one year's rent due-1101. He did not know whether
his son had any money. He was a lawyer's clerk,
and lawyer-like, was very reserved.—(Laughter.) He
believed that his son had interfered for the sale of the
house in Compton-street to the brewers.
Mr. Feistell, a wine merchant, was called to prove that
the insolvent had said his house without a music license was
worth GOO/. or 700/., but with one it would be worth 2,000'.
in two years. He had a music license at the time. Witness
was on the point of becoming a partner a short time since.
The brewers debt was 400/. or 500/.
Mr. LUCAS said, in addition to these objections, the bank-
rupt had put down his brother as a creditor, but left the
amount blank.
a. The bankrupt said he could not tell the amount, and be-
lieved the statute of limitations protected him.
The COMMISSIONER said, as the name was down the sche-
dule must be amended, and the case must be adjourned. The
bankrupt, however, should have protection.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Charles, a boy of about 17 years of age, in sailor's
dress, blue flannel shirt, and red handkerchief, was charged
by Mr. Boswell, the relieving officer, with stealing from the
workhcuse in Cleveland-street.
The youth was an inmate, and on Monday last was seen in
bed between four and five o'clock in the morning, but by six
o'clock he had absconded over the wall, carrying off a stock
and plaid belonging to the watchman. It appears he has been
thrice rigged out for sea at the expense of the workhouse—
the last time about nine months ago—and returned after-
wards in rags. He has been before the Magistrate already
on a limilar charge, when he was sent to prison for twenty-
, one days. He was sent to prison for two months.

YELLOW FEVER AT MALTA.—The Gazette du
Midi states that the Mongibello steamer, which arrived at
Marseilles on the 16th of October, has brought news that
the yellow fever had made its appearance on board a vessel
which had entered the port of Malta. The number of cases
was said to be two, one of which was followed be death.
On receiving this news, the Neapolitan Council of state had
assembled, and laid the matter before the Board of Health,
which immediately ordered all vessels from Malta to be sub-
jected to a strict quarantine. This intellingence is not con-
firmed, however, from any other source.
" LARKING."—Sotne gents. in the little town of
LCleobury Mortimer, determined upon having a " lark," rose rather
earlier last Thursday morning than the bird of that name Is accus-
tomed to do, and about half.past two o'clock in the morning got
Into the church, and began pulling at the bells resist unmercifully.
Such a jangle at such an unreasonable hour speedily aroused the
inhabitants, who were to be seen running about In all directions in a
few minutes time, but before they got to the church the birds
were flown. After giving vent to "curses loud and deep" upon the
disturbers of tl eir peaceful slumbers, they tumbled into bed again,
land next day sent the crier round to offer a reward for the discovery
of the offenders, but without WOrCatCr/hll,B Chronicle.
