HOLROYD). IN RE BI'LEAN. In this case his Honour gave judgment on the application made yesterday for an extension of the time for the surrender of this bankrupt, on the ground of his absence from England in consequence of ill health. His HONOUR said, that on perusing the affidavit of Dr. Thompson,Mr. M'Lean's medical adviser, it appeared quite clear that he had advised the bankrupt to go to Italy for the summer and to Madeira for tho winter, as he was labouring under symptoms ofincipient consumption. Under those circumstances, the Court was fully justified in extending the time for surrender, and he would grant an order for forty-nine days, being the full extort of time. If, however, it was necessary to make an application, additional affidavits must be put in, showing the state of the bankrupt's health at the time, and of his inability to come to England. The order was subseqrently drawn up, the Learned Commissioner intimati•ag that any application for an extension of time must be made six days before the expiration of the present or,ler. CO  in a situation to which it could not be thought to have fallen. He showed them to the prisoners. Seddon said the two accordion keys were his, and they both said they knew nothing about the box. John Holehouse, half-brother of deceased, examined-The deceased wore a neckerchief like the one found in the box in the stable. The accordion keys were those he had. So was the little tin box. The handkerchief found in the mackintosh was discoloured from blacking. Cross-examine)—lle first mentioned that one of the accordion keys was imperfect and the other perfect,when he bad been before the magistrate, to the attorney for the prisoners. Mrs. Wray said the neckerchief was like the one her son had on. Another handkerchief found in Dean's macintosh she was sure was one she gave her son when he left home that morning to wipe his hands on. Mr. W. Golland, surgeon, examined—He bad examined the body on the morning of the 20th. It bad a cap on, slightly torn over the right temple. There was a slight cut on the ear, two marks, as if nail marks, on the neck, and a slight mark on the thigh. On removing the scalp he found a great deal of clotted blood, on the same side as the tear of the cap. On removing the skull he found the brain had been much injured on the opposite side. It was caused by the blow on the right temple, which had torn the cap. In his opinion death was caused by a violent blow on the temple. The body was in other respects quite healthy. A blow given by either the poker or the bar of the chair produced would effect such an injury. The statements of the prisoners made before the magistrates were proved and read. Seddon admitted that he had had some of the silver found from the deceased, which he had given him, at his request, for copper. He also said the deceased had asked him if he had any hens to sell, and that on his telling him that he had a dandy (bantam) hen and cock for which he would take Is. 9d., he said he would come and look at them. He did come; they borrowed a candle, and he took him into the yard to see them, after which they parted, and he had not seen the deceased since. Dean said he had the handkerchief a month, which he picked up by a river side, and had been left by some boys who had been bathirg; that the marble was given to him by Mr. Sykes's boy three weeks before; that he had dirtied the handkerchief in the way it was dirtied by having tied it and worn it on his foot one morning when he was going after the cows, and when his feet were so sore that he could not put his shoes on. Mr. Sergeant Wrestrsis (Mr. Fry with him) addressed the jury for the prisoners. Mr. Justice WIGTITMAN then went through the evidence of the several witnesses, and concluded at a quarter to nine o'clock, telling the jury that if they came to the conclusion that the deceased was murdered by those two boys, he presumed they would be satisfied that the younger boy had capacity to enable him to distinguish right from wrong. _  URT OF 13ANKRUPTCY, August 23.
