IN RE DAVIS.

This bankrupt, who carried on business in Jermyn.street, as a
dealer in regimental and court dresses, came up to pass his last
examination, and was opposed. His debts were very considerable,
but the whole of his property had been taken under a levy.
The examination this morning was principally confined to the
debt of the judgment creditor, a person named Samuels, whose
claim was for 1,5531. The insolvent said that he had given
Samuels bills to the amount of bet ween 4,0001. and 5,000/., on
the latter promising to advance the amount to pay his creditors,
and he (insolvent) was to give security to ray 3004 a year and in-
terest, but he never had the advance. He had not kept any bo,,ks
to explain the bill transactions, nor had he made out a detailed
account as between himself and Samuels.

The Learned Commlssrowee said that it was against reason to
expect that the bankrupt should pass on such accounts. The
bankrupt had carried on a large trade, and was bound to give a sa-
tisfactory account to his creditors,

Mr. LEWIS, for the bankrupt, said that the creditors were satis-
fied except the one who opposed.

The COMMISSIONER said that, supposing no one opposed, he
should not consider he was doing justice to the public to pass a
man and grant a certificate on such accounts, even though he was
able to pay 10s. in the pound. The present dispute, however,
would only, if favourable, bring in 370/. to the creditors, who, on
principle, ougnt not to ask for the bankrupt to pass; the whole
claim of 1,553/. might be founded on fraud.
The last examination was adjourned till the audit.
Mr. LEwis applied for the bankrupt's protection.
The Learned COMMISSIONER--.I will grant it for a month, and
let us see what he can do to clear up the matter.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Cyprian Dufort, Edward Johnson, and Edward Fuller were
placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with creating a dis-
turbance in Betts' Chop House, in the Strand, and with assaulting
Mr. Dormer, the landlord of the house, and divers others of her
Majesty's subjects.

The landlord said that the prisoners came into his house last
night, about half past-eight o'clock, and called for a pot of porter,
which he gave them. They afterwards had other liquor, anti one
of them became so drunk that he refused to
give them any more.
At that moment, a stranger came in, and while he was waiting for
some drink which he ordered, he challenged a person who was
there when he came in to fight him. This person, a Mr. Jeffreys,
who did not appear this morning, said he did not want to fight, and
did his best to avoid a disturbance. The prisoners, however, en-
couraged the stranger, and endeavoured to force Mr. Jeffreys into
a quarrel. The stranger went away as soon as he had finished
what he had to drink, but the prisoners were bent on a fight, and
after endeavouring for some time to provoke a quarrel, they made a
gratuitous attack on several persons who were there.
Mr. Gillingham, who was present, and who had been attacked
by Johnson, corroborated the prosecutor's statement, as did the
waiter, who had likewise been assaulted.
The prisoners denied the truth of the statements made by the
prosecutor.

Mr. HALL, after dwelling at acme length on the peculiarly aggra.
vated circumstances of the case, said he would fine Dufort 405.,
or in default 21 days' imprisonment ; he should fine Johnson 40s.
for the assault on Mr. Gillingham, one of the witnesses, and 40s,
for the assault on the waiter, or in default 21 days for each
offence. As the evidence against Fuller was not distinct, he
should discharge him.

CLERKEN WELL.-(T HIS DAY.)
Walter Chambers, a well-dressed man, was charged by Mr. John
Christopher, the landlord of the Windmill public-house, in Lea.
Cher-lane, with obtaining from him refreshment under false pre.
tences.

The prosecutor is the keeper of the tap connected with the
brewery of Messrs. Reid, and on Wednesday the prisoner, In com-
pany with three other men, entered his house, and, after stating
that they had been sent from the brewery, called for food, beer,
brandy, and tobacco. They were served to the amount of ss. 7d.,
and witness then, having some misgiving of them, went to Messrs.
Reid, and ascertained that no authority had been given to the pri.
sower to obtain the goods inlquestion ; and when asked for payment
he had "no effects." His companions, who were similarly
situated, left him in the lurch, and he was handed over to the police.
Mr. GaEcriwoon said the conduct of the accused had been
wicked and disgraceful, but he had no jurisdiction in the matter.
It was merely a debt, and he reluctantly discharged him.
