Gatherings From The Law And Police Court...
bankrupt , Lyon Samuels , -who has been in confinement for some time past for refusing to give certain information . The plea was that he was insane ; and Mr . Commissioner Goulburn ' ordered his discharge , and adjourned tlie examination sine die . At the same time , however , ha said he could not order his discharge from detainers at civil suits . A Mr . Collins has obtained , by means of an action in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , damages to the extent of 78 G 2 . from the South-Eastern Railway Company on acconnt of injuries received by himself and his wife in the accident at Lewisham on the 28 th of last June . In another action , tried yesterday , a verdict was given against the company , with 120 / . damages and funeral expenses . Several other cases under the new Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act have been brought before the magistrates during the week .
The examination meeting of Lazarus Samson , merchant , of Hounsditch , took place in the Court of Bankruptcy on Tuesday . The totals on either side of the balance sheet are 70 , 267 J . An adjournment was ordered to March 2 nd , with renewed protection to the bankrupt . The bankrupts Henry and Cheslyn Hall , the cattledealers of NewBoawell-court and elsewhere , came up by adjournment on Wednesday on the question of certificate . Mr- Lawrence ( who appeared for the assignees ) entered into the complaint of Mr . Dalgleish , and read a voluminous correspondence between the bankrupt , C . Hall , and Mrs . Jane Caroline Dalgleish , on the snbject of investing on mortgage WOOL three per cent . Bank Annuities , which had been placed in the bankrupts' hands , and which they had misappropriated to their own use . A petition was subsequently presented to the
Vice-Chancellor , and an order was made that the money should be refunded with the costs of the petition , but she had never received a single farthing yet . Mrs . Jane Caroline Dalgleish was then- called and examined by Mr . Lawrence . She stated that the facts were much stronger than stated in her affidavit and petition to Chancery , but she was told that no . court but a criminal one would entertain such a . charge . The stronger fact was that when she attended at the bank neither Mr . Hall nor Mr . Marsden told her , when she signed the paper , that it was to part with money . She was introduced to Mr . Hall by Mr . Baker , a mutual friend of witness and Messrs . Hall . Mr . Lowrie , one of the former trustees , was a defaulting trustee . Other matters having been gone into at great length , the proceedings were further adjourned .
Mr . Commissioner Evans has given judgment in the case of Evans and Hoare , wine and bottled beer merchants , of Great St . Helen ' s . His Honour said : — " This is an application on the part of the bankrupts for their certificates . The granting a certificate to Evans is opposed on the ground that , although in 1854 he was insolvent , he still continued his trade , and took Hoare into partnership . In support of this objection , a balancesheet was put in , by which it appeared there was a balance of a considerable sum to the debit of Evans . The bankrupt Evans stated that that paper did not contain tbe whole of the accounts , and that it did not include his private investments . If these had been realized at
the time , he would have had a surplus , exclusive of 5000 / . received as a bonus from Hoare . In support of his statement , it was proved that these accounts , and the books of the bankrupt Evans , were examined by a person of the name of Gordon , who was deputed on behalf of Hoare , and that he waa so satisfied as to advise Hoare to enter into partnership , to bring in 60001 .-, and to pay Evans a bonus of 5000 / . I think this proves that the bankrupt Evans was justiGed in supposing that he was solvent at that time . " After reviewing the other foots of the case , the Commissioner concluded by ordering a second-class certificate in the caao of both bankrupts ,

A ., Rector of Marylobone . The overflow of visitor /} found accommodation , in the neighbouring St . Margaret ' s Church .

promises of a timber merehwnt , Hackney-road . In th « latter case , several adjoining booses were damaged . General Havblock ,- —The Athenccum hears that this lamented General' has left behind him valuable papers more or less autobiographical ; papers descriptive of his feelings as a religious man engaged in war , of his mode of dealing with his troops , and of his relations to great governing officials . Dr . Moir , the Favourite Poet of the Princess Royal . —In proposing a congratulatory address to her Majesty on the occasion of the Princess Royal ' s marriage , in the Court of Common Council , London ,
on Tuesday week , Mr . Parker , Under-shenfF , referring to the Princess Royal , said : — " Her gentle presence , her expressive features , her benignant smiles—those outward indications of the mind ' s treasures , of the heart ' s stores — will still be present to our mind , memory , and imagination ; and , though she may continue in the Prussian dominions for many , many years to come—as we hope she will—to attract by her graces and win by her virtues , yet shall we say , in the words of her own favourite poet , the late Dr . Moir , of Musselburgh , to whose elegant compositions it is understood her Majesty's family are greatly attached : — ' The thoughts of thee are as a pleasant dream ;
Soft , soothing , holy , beautiful , and bright : As of a star that sparkles o ' er a stream , Gemming the dewy coronal of night . '" The Gardens of Solomon . —The Gardens of Solomon , at Jerusalem , have been let to an Englishman , a Mr . Goldsmith , who is now draining them on the Yorkshire plan , and introducing modern improvements in cultivation , which seem , however , to have entailed the destruction of some interesting monuments of the past .

Near the Northumberland coast , it is feared that a vessel has been lost with all hands .
Health of London . — In the week that ended last Saturday , the total number of deaths registered in London was 1363 , showing a small increase on the rather high mortality of the previous week . In the ten years 1848-57 , the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1171 ; but , as the deaths in the present return occurred in an increased population , they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase , when the comparison will show that the number of persons who died last week exceeded by 75 the number who would have died if only the average rate of mortality had prevailed . — Last week , the births of 880 boys and 870 girls , in all 1750 children , were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 , the average number was 1611 . —From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return .

The surgeon makes them strip themselves naked—literally , stark nakedand then causes them to walk , run , jump , lie down , and perform sundry gymnastic evolutions together . Surely , sir , this is an unnecessary indecency , " Drunkenness and Suicide . —Miss Catherine Speed , a young lady of twenty-six , lately residing in Graftonstreot East , Fitzroy-square , has committed suicide by taking laudanum while in a state of intoxication . Tlic inquest has terminated in a verdict in accordance with . the facts .

Permission was requested to select a site in Trafalgarsquare , on which a monument might be erected on a base broad enough to record tlie names of tho ofnaers who accompanied the General in his expeditions to Cawnporo and Lucknovr , and a full reference to tho regiments which were undor his command on those occusions .

The Sea Serpent Again !—Captain Harrington , of the ship Castilian , has communicated to the Times a copy of an extract from the Board of Trade Meteorological Journal , dated " December 12 tb , 1857 ,
northeast end of St . Helena , bearing north-west , distance ten miles . " From this it ' appears that an immense serpentlike monster had been seen moving slowly through the water within twenty yards of the ship . The head and neck were about ten or twelve feet out of the water , and they would occasionally dip down , and then reappear . Several of the crew thought that the creature must have been five hundred feet in length . " Its head was shaped like a large nun buoy , and I suppose , " says the captain , " the diameter to be seven or ei ^ ht feet in the largest part , with a kind of scroll , or tuft of loose skin , encircling it about two feet from the top . " Tlie colour of the head was dark , and the body was covered with several white spots . The serpent—if such it wereappeared to be moving towards the island .
