Mr. Alderman Atkins, they were discharged.
prove the case, Mr. Bridges, Mr. Thomas (Yhite, sod
Mr. Payne, toe magistrates' clerk, were called. Mr.
Bridges did not knew whore the plaintiff lived, nor
did he know any body who did. Mr. White described
himself to be a general broker, living at No. 6, Mar-
ket-street, St. (Marge's-market. He had bad tran-
sactions in Sour, hams, Yorkshire cloth, and one or
tore in lace. At the time of this transaction, he had
an othee at No. £5, St. Swithin's-lane. About seven
years dace, be returned from Hasmbergh, sad then
bad an 'Ace at No. 7, Gillipat-lane. He was now a
prisoner is the King's Bench prison, and had lodged
within the rules for the last seven years, bat had not
been a prisoner all that time. He had *ever gone
by the Christian name of Manna lake or Bartholomew.
To prove the defendant's justification, Richard
Strange, the lace-manufacturer, of Wbaddon, Sarah
Waldeck. a servant of the defendant, and John Short,
the defendant's waiter, were called. The first proved
that White bad purchased 701. worth of lace, and
bad given him 301. is cash, and a bill for the re-
mainder, If hick bad bees dishonoured. Being de-
sirous of having some more late, he agreed to let
White have the box in 'peados for 401. 7s. and
doponited it in the hands of the defendant,
Mt with secret instructions to the latter to take the
money ifit came to satisfy the dishonoured bill of 401.
and not to deliver up the lace. It was in obedience
to these instructions that the defendant had acted in
endeavouring to keep the money and detain the box.
The ether witness proved, that after Mr. Bridges bad
dashed his hand through the window with the 40/. in
it, the plaintiff seized the box of lace, and was endea-
vouring to make off with it. He held the defendant's
wife witß one arm, and with the box iu the hand
of the other he held it over his head in a direc-
tion towards the passage leading from the bar.
This was the only evidence to prove the animus
furredi.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that there was no
pretence for calling this a felony. It was no more
than a struggle fur the possession of the property.
If a person having even a colour of title to pro-
perty takes it, that is not felony ; but his Lordship,
in charging theJery, told them, that they ought to
award damages to the plaintiff with that temper and
moderation which befitted a calm review of all the
circumstances of the else.

The Jury found their verdict for the plaintiff—

HOWARD AND GIBBS'S BANKRUPTCY.

Yesterday being the day appointed, after many ad-
journments, for the final examination of the bankrupts,
there was a very full attendance of creditors and aril
representatives.
The bankrupts, however, deposed, that their ac-
counts were not yet so balanced and adjusted as to
exhibit a correct state of their effects and debts to their
creditors. _

Mr. Adams, the- -116110111161111 t to She
having been applied to. stated that the bankrupts
accounts amounted to bOO in number; Mr. Gibbs had
balanced upwards of 500 in the manner which he
conceived best calculated to give the creditors a full
view of the debts and credits of the estate, and
to chew the manner in which • considerable
part of the deficiency had been disposed of. Mr.
Adams proceeded to explain the method adopted by
Gibbs for this purpose, which was to debit the accounts
of all the annuitants to whom the bankrupts had paid
their annuities, without having received thew from the
granters, with the amount of the several sums so paid.
This mode of balancing the accounts, Mr. Adams
stated, was quite different from his own view of what
was the correct mode of doing it, and would make a
great number of persons appear debtors to the estate,
who were not so by the books as they stood at the
issuing of the omission ; but he added, it could
not have the effect of misleading any one, as all the
accounts were preserved with all their debts and credits
at the time of the bankruptcy, and Mr. Gibbs was
making quite a new statement of all those accounts on
which payments had been made by the bankrupts
without their having received the money the •.selvcs.
The Commissioners expressed their satisfaction that
all the accounts would be so stated as to enable every
one interested to see what would be the effect of every
decision that might be come to on those annuitants'
accounts, who had received payments from the bank-
rupts, which had never been made by the grantors.
The Commissioners at the same time intimated, that
no alteration had taken place in the opinion they bad
formerly given, viz. that in all those cases in which
the annuitant was informed at the time of receiving
the payment that the bankrupts had not themselves re-
ceived it from the grantor, they (the annuitants) must
be held accountable and debtors to the estate for the
payments so made; but that in every case in which no,
such intimation bad been given, time payment must
be consider 11 a tons fide payment to the annuitant,
and valid against the bankrupts' estate.
Mr. Adams was also interrogated as to the length
of time it would take to prepare the accounts in such
a manner as would be the most satisfactory to the cre-
ditors. In reply, be stated, that he thought it would
take Mr. Gibbs a month at the very least to prepare
the accounts for his inspection, and that it would,
after that, take himself another month for deciding
on their correctness.

The Commissioners, after some consultation, agreed
that it would be for the interest of the creditors that
:he next meeting should be adjourned for two months,
which was accordingly done.
Sersral creditors proved debts, bat without any
thing particular occnrring.

Cesar Basao.—A person of the name of Holland
was brought to Union Hall, on a charge of selliog
four quartern loaves at 74d. each. which were deficient
in weight six ounces. The accused said in his de-
fence. that be did uot sell the bread in question as
qua;tera loaves, but simply as loaves, without under-,
taking what they might weigh. The Magistrate in-
formed him his offence was equally penal either way,
as by law he could only sell loaves for 2t1., 3d., 6d..
Is, li. 6d., or es., or as quartern or half quartern. It
•oppeared that the same person had suffered a former
.:unviction for the like offence, in consequence of which
he Magistrate said it WAS impossibly to admit of any
`mitigation of the penally, wilieli is ;:. it. 4., in ablisii '
1.0 he was eccur.littgly lined.

list quoted.—The accounts from St. Petersburgh on Sa-
turday state the Exchange without variation about 14.
RICE.—The Iste rainy weather and the advance of
the Corn market yesterday have a very favourable effect
on the demand for Rice.
011. S.—There are general accounts from Greenland
up to the Ist instant; and though not aimed:oily tidied
up to that time, yet it appears by no means certain that
the Fishery might net prove eventually good: an ar-
rival has also taken place from the Straits, 260 tuns of
Oil, which is unusually early, naming three other ships,
with eight, nine, and tee GA ; one clean Ist May, and
another with one fish. Little business is doing, bet,
upon the whole, opinion is in favour of lower prices.
HOPS —The accounts from the Hop counties continue
favourable; the duty is estimated at 150,000/.
TOBACCO.—The demand for Tobacco has in some

measure subsided.
SALTPE FR E.—The reports circulated for some days
of the probability of war have had no effect on Salt-
petre, which is the most likely article to be affected by
such rumours. 1
COTTON.—The advance in the prices of Uplands
has a very favourable effect on the demand and prices of
Serat Cotton : the dealers have purchased freely. Ben-
gals are in limited request, but there are not so many
sellers as formerly.
COFFEE.—The Coffee market remained in a very
languid state last week, but in consequence of the few
public sales brought forward, nearly the whole sold
freely, fully supporting the previous prices; the only
parcel withdrawn, we believe, was some fair quality St.
Domingo 116 s.
RI:al, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The accounts
of the vintage in France are very contradictory, but ge-
nerally unfavourable; the reports have no effect in in-
, ducir4 buyers of Brandy to come forward ; the prices
Iremain nominally the same.—Geneva is offered at very
reduced prices, without facilitating sales.

WONDERFUL USDERTAKING.—Captain Henderson
started yesterday morning at day-break from Teizn-
ham, Ilerts, for a stake of 200 guineas, to side four
horses 64 miles in four boors. over 12 measured miles
of ground, part of which was turf. The Captain is an
intrepid steeple chase shier, and although this match
is inferior to that performed by Milton, the horse dea-
ler, in 10 RI, the odds were 6 and 7 to 4 against him.
Ile started upon a bay blood ware, and.did the 12 wiles
of ground as follow :

Ist It stiles
2d do
$1 do

The match was decided as lost by the referee's watch
by two mutates. The rider 'mild have won, bet from
the time lust in mounting the third horse, which was
sot very quiet, though the fastest of the three when
off. The Captain seemed more mortified than ta-
ngoed at losing the match.
Harrox Umtoats.---Bilee Carty was brought up
from Brickhill, 43 miles from London. in the custody
of John Hixton North, Guard to the Coburg Stage.
from the Bull and Mouth Inn, to Bricklaill, charged
with stealing a Male infant, two month's old, from its
parents John and Norah Brady, $. Field-lane, on the
day of the Coronatisni. The prisoner was begging at
Brickhill, with the child in her arms, and to excite
charity, used to feign having fits, but from the appear-
s's* of the child, which was a remarkably fine one,
and she having no milk; she became suspected, and
Mr. Radcliffe. landlord of the George Inn, at Brickhill,
ordered the 6eard of the Coburg Coach to make in-
quiry in London, whilst he detained the prisoner till
his return. The Guard on his arrival in London, saw
a posting bill, which exactly agreed with the descrip-
lien of the prisoner end the child. He called in
Field-laue, and informed the child's mother. Her
husband was then gone to Bristol in search of the pri-
soner. The pour mother, without a penny in her
pocket, walked to Brickbill, where she recognised
the prisoner with her child, and dressed it some clothes
she had stolen from her. The prisoner was committed
for further examination.
