Nearly the whole of the day Was spent in trying Andrew J. Wightinap, who Was charged with steal- ing $420 on the 24th of March from David ©. Auli, & Tesiaent of Florida, It a) peared from the evidence that the complainant was sto] ne at the Revere House, and became aequain' with the prisoner, Who, previous to leaving hls room in the hotel, saw him (til) take the money from an oid pocketbook and place it ina new one, Wightman said to Hail that ne had better be careful about his money, for he might have his pocket picked, greenbacks in a piece of paper and deposited the package In one of bis boots, which he pees ina leather bag. That same evening he inet Wightman at the Cortlandt stveet Jerry, who asked hin wial time it was. The prisoner held the bag till the gen- teman from Florida looked at his watch, and, having answered the prisoner's question, went on the cars, and did not discover the loss of his money until he got to New Brunswick. He immediately returned to New York, and oiicer Farley arresied Wighiman the next day, upon the description which Hii gave of the alleged titel. When first taken into castody the prisoner dented knowing Hall, but when confronted with bim at | headquarters admitted wat he was with tum at the | rosecuthen Was that the ferry. ‘The theory of th i ‘f mon qnality of leather leather bag being ot c could easily be sprung open and the money ab- stracted by an expert thief, Wightman was sworn in his own behalf, and denied having stolen the money. He gave a history of his life and stated that he was employed by Colonel Whitley as & United States deiecti,e.

In the Court of Special Sessions James Dixon, an elderly, ogle-eyed, beetle-browed Individual, was yesterday charged by Henry Kierho, a resident hear the Hackensack, with atternpung to rob him of teu dollars by means of the “pocketbook dropping’? game, in which projession the defendant isan old hand and a perfect adept, According to the test- mony of the policeman who arrested him the de- Jendant has for several years past lived by THIS DISGRACEFUL MODE OF PROCEDURE. “He hangs” arovuna the fernes aud railroad depots and in the vicinity of Castle Garden, to watch for sillors or sirangers who are not hkely to understand his game.

The case of Culver, Penn & Co., an important dankraptcy suit, has for some time past been before Judge Blatchford, in the United States District Coart. A recapitulation of the case would show that in 1964 , the bankrupts were bankers tn this city. They did | @ large busiaess wih banks In the Pennsylvania oll | region. They failed .in 1866 for over $2,000,000, and | thelr failure involved a large number of smaller } Nonses 12 commercial rum. Subsequently they | Iaade @ voluntary assignment of their individual | and firm estate, and did not again resume business, | In December, 1868, John R. Penn, one of the firm, residing in this city, fled a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy for himself and against his partners, Charles Y. Calver and Lucien IH. Culver, whose rest- | dence was in Pennayivania. An adjudication of bankruptcy Was made, the Culvers being consenting parties to it, The mata points discussed in the case will be found in Judge Blatchfora’s decision, which 1s given below:— . THE DECISION, On tne application for the discharge of these bank- Tupis the question of the jarisdiction of the court | to entertain at all these proceedings in baukruptc; ig raised, Specitications have been illed in opposl- tion to the discharge of tue bankrupts. Two of these specifications are addressed vo the question of jurisdiction, and the Cise bas been argued on that point alone preliminary. Qn the 3ist of Decemver, 5¢8, the bankrupt, Penn. flied in this court a pett- tion addressed to the Judge of this court, setung forth “taat the said John RK.

Culver have cean requested by the petitioner to unite with him i this application and reiuse so to do; tat the | petitioner is willing to surrenter all nis esiate anil efects, joint and dividual, for the beneft of their | cretiors and lus own, and desires to obtain the ; beaetit of the Bankraptey act, and desires to effect an adjadication of bankruptcy of the said partuer- sip aud ali the members thereot,” ‘Tne petition re’ers to a statement of the Gents of the copartuer- | ship and al.o to @ scuedule contatning Pei ludividual debis and an inventory of lus escate, prays that the copartoership and each member | thereof may be adjudyed bankrupts. Ou the fing of this petition au order was issued by this Court requiring Charles V. Culver and Luctea H.

I conceive tnat fil au- thority 1s found im section 36 of the Bankruptcy act, and in General Order No. 18. ‘The Uhirty-sixth section provides “ihat where two or more persons | Who are partners in trade shall be ad/udged bank- Tupts, eitner on the petition of such parcoers or any one OI hem, or on the petiiion of any creditor of the aurtners, & Warrant shall issue upon which all the joint stock or property of the copartuership, and wiso ail Lhe Beparate estate of each of the pariners shall be taken.” This provision clearly contem- | plates that persons who are copartners may be ad- judicated bankrupts on three descriptions of peti- tions.

In the present case the Culvers could | not have united in the petition of Penn, because the petition could not have traly made the averments required by section 11 to gtve this court juris- | dicuon through residence or the carrying on of business, ‘he proceedings by the pettioa of a | creditor of the copartners is a purely invorantary proceeding under section 389, and requires tne adjudication to proceed on the commission of some act of bankruptcy specified im that section, A | proceeding by copartuers under section li re- | quires no actof bankruptcy to set forth, but only an | averment that the debtors are unable to pay all their debts in fall, and are willing to sarrender ail | their estate for the benefit of their creditors | and desire to obtain the benefit of tne act. {'Yhe titag of such a petikon 1s declared | by secuom 11 to be am act of bankruptcy. | 'The proeeeding by the petivion of one of two or more | copartners to have such copartners adjudicated | bankrupts is a proceeding which nevessurily 13 | neitwer wholly voluntary bor wholly invowuatary, } but itis partiy voluntary and partly involuntary. So far as tie petition is concerned, 1 1s voluntary under sectivun 11; s@ faras the copartners not peti- toning are concerned, it is not mvoluntary in the sense vf section 39, unless the adjudication is asked for on the ground of the commission of an act of nkruptcy speciiied in that section. alinougn it be mvoluntary inthe sense of nothing voiun- ‘y under section 11.
