~~~_ ~•.'TP~ :, ~ V. Mr. HEATH observed, he might have done so; it was two years ago, and his debts at pretent'are but 3001. and there is due to him, in debts good and bad, 6001. Mr. Eaton was sworn, and stated, that about three months since he called on the insolvent, at his house in Kensington, to get payment of his bill. The shop ap peared to have a considerable quantity of goods in it. The insolvent said he could not pay the bill, but witness might take it out in, goods, and skewed him several articles, amongst others, table-cloths, the price of which, he said, was ten pounds each; but said, as witness did rot understand the articles be had better send Mrs. Elton ; she aftcewards went, butthe insolvent was from home, and no goods were since obtained from him. The insolvent often said to witness, that he had houses or ground-rents; and on one occasion, when witness ap plied for money, told him he had not received his rents. In Michaelmas Term, 1822, the insolvent went bail for Nom, and then swore himself worth 3001. witness was then attorney for Noyes. The insolvent was examined, in explanation, by Mr. llcarit—Owes £i00; Acre ale good debts due to him of £170; he had given full value for all the bad debts due to him. It was in the early part of Nov. Mr. Eaton applied for payment of his bill, saying, he would want something against Christmas. Insolvent said, he would endeavour to pay by that time; on the 17th of No vember, he was arrested at the suit of Mr. Eaton. Mr. Eaton had goods and cash from him to the amount ofl £26 or £3O, which . lie firmly believed was as ninch as the bill would have amounted to, had it been taxed ; he never was arrested before in his life. He sustained great losses by That-tell, Probert, and Noyes, which Mr. Eaton, as Attorney to Noyes, must have known. The furniture in his house,but nothing else, belonged to Dr. Stensell. There was no gi eat quantity of stock when In.! was arrested. The COUNT said there was nothing in the case that brought the insolvent under any of the penal clauses of the Act ; but he must lute in his schedule how the fur niture had become the property of Dr. Stensell, and the le.tse of the house the property of the Lady who held it. Mr. Eaton declared that he was not acquainted with the insolvents losses, by Thurtell, Probert, and Noyes; and that had the statement pointed out by the Court ap peared in the inselvenes schedule, he should not have opposed his discharge. Samuel ;Villiers IJakin Fares was opposed by Mr. I I EATH. on belialt of his employers, Messrs.Thos. Cham pion and Tilos. Green, extensive vinegar-makers. Mr.IIFATII called Mr. Green, one of the above firm, who deposed that he went into the concein in 1820, at which time the insolvent was ont-door and collecting clerk ; in May. 1821, they resolved to make all their clerks give security, and the insolvent, his father, and brother, entered into a joint bond of 4oei. and in Sep tember, 1821, the witness first suspected that the insol vent was acting dishonestly ; the insolvent had neglected to pay the money he collected into the counting-house twice a week, as he had bcea requested to do. The svitness took the oppo; runity of calling him into his private office, and accusing him of defrauding the firm, when he instantly confessc , d v.'hat he had done, and handed to him (witness) a list of the different sums which he had received and approptiated to his own use, amounting,to between 400!. and 506 lie was conse quently discharged, and Messrs. Char.;2ion and Green commenced proceedings upon the bond, and eventually obtained a verdict and costs, but they only recoverd about 168/. in cash, so that there still remained a de ficiency of 338/. 17s. 91 The accounts were akerwards examined, and it appeaied that there was a further de ficiency of 119/. 145.2 d. • M r . Oxley, chief clerk to Messrs. Champion and Green, stated, that he had examined the last ac counts; and had ascertained the further deficiency, as well from them as from the accounts sent back from their customers as paid, upon application being made for payment by the successor to the insolvent. Mr. HEATLI said he need not trouble the Court with any observations on this Case; the fraud was so palpable that it tame clearly within the provisions of the Act. The Cater COMMISSIONER said,,as the affidavits were not ea, the Court would not then give judgment; but tiii`vrAs ituurid to say, that the insolvent had been ipetktisf very gross and deliberate fraud , and it was rwitry that persons in the extensive way of dealings thai•Messirs. Champion and Green were, should be pro tected• from such depredations. When the case came before the Court again, the Insolvent . would certainly - . _ 4 ' 3 . OIL. Upwards of £440 are a►ready collected for these Races, and yet. the returns for a great portion of the district remain to be made. A numerous and respectable Meeting of the Committee was held onTues day se'nnight, and we are happy to record that they have decided on taking for the present year, Thursday and Friday as the Race-days —thereby avoiding any collision of the two establishments. It Is determined that on the first day a Plate of 100 sovereigns be given; and 60 sovereigns as the Plate for the second day. Sweepstakes will be immediately opened, and made known, for the meek?, ke. to which the sum df £92 will be added. The sum of sC2O has been voted from the Race Fund for Foot Races and Prison Bars, &c. bosom remained here until Monday, when he left for Chelten ham, perfectly recovered from the effects of the rencontre. During his stay here, his unassuming manners gained bins many friends, and that he is grateful for the attention shewn him is evinced by an advertisement in another column. lie now throws down the. gauntlet to Spring again, or any man in England, observing that " if I cannot beat him, they'll find me a rum customer," which, whoever may take it up. most assuredly will. Upon his arrival at Cheltenham, Colonel O'N. a countryman. and, as a matter of course. one of his warmest patrons, presented him with s€so, which had been subscribed in testimony of his brave and unquestionably courageous conduct throughout the fight. Although be complains of the conduct of others to bins, he lauds highly that of his van. quisher throughout the battle. Langan had a benefit at the Fives Court, in this city, en Saturday, which was well attended.—/q4 cater Herald. Langan did not appear at Belcher's on Monday night, as was ex pected. It appears that he can reap a better harvest in the country, therefore his stay will be continued fur a short time. Monday next was uarned as the probable day of his appearance, for the first time, amongst.the Amy in the Metropolis. The sufferers by the falling of the hustings at the late conflict upon Worcester Race-course are going on as favourably ascan be expected from the nature of their injuries,and that, so far from several deaths having been the consequence of the unfortunate catastrophe, as - has been reported, the medical attendants now entertain the most san guiue hopes of the ultimate recovery of their patients, mew in the most serious cases. THE FIVES' .COURT. - The muster was strong yesterday for the benefit of Jem Ward. The setting-to was confined to two bouts ; that which excited very general attention, was between Bishop Sharpe and John Cooper, the Gypsey. These men have fought three times; the List was a I draw. Cooper had all the best of the set-to. Challenges followed ; Bishop Sharpe challenged Tom Reynolds. A Mr. Kent offered to back Reynolds for £lOO, and put down £lO then and there to make it, adding "hels an Irishman, but he is a man." Sharpe left off his "bounceable" ideas, and began to consult himself as to the weight of Reynolds ; he was told," Reynolds shall fight you for a hundred, and give you a guinea or two.' Sharpe then replied, " give four poupds weight away." The backer of Reynolds said, " You should not challenge a man who is absent, and then talk About weights. Reynolds shall fight you for a hundred to eighty, and the money is ready at Toin Cribb's, whenever you like to cover." Ward and O'Neale closed the sports with an excellent set-to. The number of births in Copenhagen City last year was 3265 ; deaths, 2852. It has been found (says a German Paper) that, in the year 1823, the public journals contain accounts of no fewer than 780 fires. Monday se'nnight, a melancholy accident happened at Belvidere Colliery. ,A young boy, of only fourteen years of age, was attending the engine drawing water, ,of which a greatquantity had accumulated in the waste workings for fourteen days previous. The boy, anxious Ito ascertain what depth of water was still remaining in the pit at that period, affixed a cast metal weight of 141bs. to the end of a rope, and slung•it down the pit : in its rapid descent, it is presumed, it overpowered his strength, and he was precipitated from the top to the bottom, a depth of at least sixteen fathoms, and drowned. At Derbyshire Sessions, in an assault case between two females (Molly Redfern v. Molly Tomlinson), the defendant pleading guilty, was sentenced—to shake hands with Molly Redfern, and promise to be good neighbours in future—.which sentence was complied with. The following is the exact copy of a letter from the farming servant of a London Baronet:—"" Sir Thos the number of ship 300-66(566) all well horses, pigs. and cows all well Sir Thos my pbr wife is'no mor ucsday nice haf i sas seven o clock." ,rpOw.ir. Friday morning the beginning of the Lunar Eclipse was perfectly visible at Glasgow. The moon set eclipsed. At its height the eclipse exceeded nine digits. Saturday afternoon, about one o'clock, four young lads, genteelly dressed, rashly ventured upon the ice in the Green Park, called Rosamond's Pond ; but they had scarcely embarked upon the fragile stuface than the whole gave way, and they were plunged into upwards of a six-feet depth of water, from which they were pro vidently extricated by one of the men belonging to the Humane Society. • Tuesday se'imight, about flee o'clock in the morning, an old Lady, the widow of Mr. George Simpson, late officer of Excise in Irvine, having occasion to be near the fire, her clothes caught the flames, and she was almost instantaneously in a blaze. Her cries awakened her daughter, who was sleeping in the same apartment, and she did all in her power to extinguish the flames ; but the old Lady was so severely scorched, that, although medical assistance was instantly procured, she expired about one o'clock the same day, in great agony. At Leicester Sessions, last week, the Grand Jury found a true bill against the Rev. James Roberts, clerk, of Wi therley, a Magistrate of that county, for an assault in the Justice-room at Market Bosworth, upon Mr. Ralph Thompson, of Witherley. If not removed into another Court, the case will be heard at the next Sessions. Tri g NEW Gazzx COINAGE.—Last week was exhibited in the salon of the Hotel Talleyrand, at Paris, the new gold coinage for the Greeks, the design and execution being under the direction of the celebrated Denor.r. It is said to he an extremely fine specimen of art, and to excel the last, namely, " The Flight of the Eagle from Elba," few of which reached this country, and which are invaluable, the die having been broken by order of the present King of Rune& This new Greek coin rather exceeds in size our sovereign. On the one side is the Archangel blicttazi,, with the flaming sword and the dove; the latter the symbol of Peace. On the re verse, the Lion, the emblem of strength, encircled by a Serpent, with the tail in the mouth, meaning to pourtray Eternity, and around, the word " Resurrection. " The Constitution ; or, Cork Morning Post of the 14th instant, with a Supplement, contains what it styles a " Chronological List," being an enumeration of outrages recorded in that Journal during the last year. It is true, that some of these outrages are inconsiderable ; but it may afford some notion of the very alarming and de plorable extent of this " List" to state, that it occupies above eleven'closely printed columns. Nothing can be farther from our inclination, than to indulge in levity on so serious an occasion ; but we cannot help smiling at the paragraph in which the Cork Editor recommends the result of his labours to the attention of his Readers. The concluding sentences are excellent To offer comment with such a hideous mass of human infirmity and crime we deem unnecessary, for nothing that we can say could possibly add to Me congregation of villainy. We shall therefore submit the Supplement to the peru sal of our NUMEROUS SUBSCRIBERs—who, as we before observed, deierves7tch a New Year's Gift' at our bands for Me many andjiattering _marks of kindness they have 6cstowed, and are DAILY bestowing oa us." HONESTY IN LAWYERS.—It is somewhat remarkable, that two days after the trial of Mr.-Such, a Student of the Inner Temple, at Cambridge, for endeavouring to defraud a Mr. Limouzineau, who had practised as an Advocate at the Cour Royale of Poictiers, but who way last March erased from the roll, by a Decree of the Council of Discipline, was tried before the Court of As sizes, at Paris, for forgery of a private writing. In both cases the accused Advocate pleaded his own cause, Mr. Limouzineau; it is said, with remarkable talent, and more successfully than the Student at Cambridge, for he was acquitted of the forgery, but &willed, at the in s 41 ,;ation of the Public Prosecutor, on account of sever al Acts of swindling. ~', :~!

I V.SOL FENT DEl37'Ol?S' COURT, JAN. 20. • William Cozens was opposed by Mr. Henry Eaton, who lead been his attorney, for a debt of £5O, the ba bore of his bill of costs. The insolvent was examined by Mr. Eaton, and stated tb at he carried on business as a linen •draper at Kensing ton ; that he was acquainted with Thomas Thurtell and Probert since the year 1813; Probert owes him about £lO2 ; he discounted two bills of exchange for Thomas 'Donnell ; one for £9B was drawn by Mr. Noyes, but be does not look to him for payment, beeathe he after- wards took a wav4ant of attorney from Thos. Thurtell, and gave up Noyes security. The other hill was drawn by Probert for 1021. both bills wereaccepted by Thomas Thurtell, who brought them to the insolvent for dis count, telling him that he had been accommodated by his friends, and assuring him that the bills would be paid when due. Probert owed the insolvent a debt of 1021. 4.5.6 d. previous to 1820, which he proved under his Commission of Bankruptcy. Insolvent bought no stock for the last eight or nine months, all 'that he had he sold, and accounted for, either in his schedule as debts due to him, or in his balance sheet. He was a bankrupt in the year 1817. The lease (+lbis house was then sold by auction by his assignees, and purchased by the Lady who now holds it. Dr. Stensell purchased his furniture at the same time, and allowed him the use of it, for which he gave the Doctor the accommoda ton of rooms in his house when he came to town, about twice a year. During the last four or five years, be never bought more than six dozen of wine at one time. He never made any overtones to be allowed to assign his stock to Mr. Woods, to avoid his creditors. He had scarcely any creditors. He never had any houses dr ground-rents at Kensington. He might have said he received such rents, which was the fact, but the pro pertfwas not his. He was bail for Thomas Thurtell, about three months since, for two debts, one of 181. the other 291. He was bail for him in five or six actions —the amount of the whole being little over 1001. He was not bail for him in the charge of misdemeanour.— The insolvent being asked when he was last bail for ?Ir. Noyes, his Counsel, Mr. Hearn, objected to the question. Ile said, the fact should be proved by the record.—The Counr concurred in the objection. Mr. EATON said, his object was to drew, that at that time the insolvent swore himself to be worth 300/. x be remanded, at the suit of Ms opposing creditors, fo' a very considerable period of time. Judgment deferred' till the 2d of February. - Mr. Por.Loca applied to the Court to call on the case of Mr. William Pope out of its turn, in consequence of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Sir Herbert Tay lor, and Sir J. Cockburn, having been subpoenaed as witnesses, and they would shortly be obliged to - go away on other business. • The Court granted the application, and Mr. William Pope was brought up. He was op posed by isir. Jullion, an agent and accountant, for a debt of 541. This Gentlemais attended in person, and interrogated the insolvent. • The insolvent admitted having had certain papers in his possession, one Of which an undertaking on the part of Sir James Cockburn that Mr. Jullion's debts should be paid, provided he gave tip certain other papers, had been shewn to Mr.Jullion. JULLION : You gob possession of these papers ; where are they now? they have not been filed in Court? Insolvent (after some hesitation): I have deposited them with a friend, of whom I borrowed money; they are to be given up ; I deposited them as security for a debt with a friend, after he had been arrested. Mr. PLATT (Counsel to the insolvent) suggested to the Court, that it would be sufficient if one of its officers saw these papers; they were of a private nature. Mr. JULLION contended that the papers ought to be lodged in Court, and the Chief Commissioner thought so too, if they had any reference to his estate. To a question from his Counsel, insolvent stated that these papers were private letters, and not bonds or se curities, and did not relate to his money affairs; he was acquainted with the parties who wrote the letters, and Mt s. Mary-Ann Clarke had some connection with them; they did not relate to his estate; he had an nottethrking in his possession, signed by Sir James Cockburn, a copy of which was put in and acknowledged by him to be correct; he admitted that he had stated to Mr. Jullion, that a son of his friend Mr. Palin was to have a situa tion under Government, worth eight hundred pounds a year; and that he had said he should be able to pay his debts, if he gave up the papers in question ; he possessed also a copy of a letter from Sir Herbert Taylor, on the same subject, which was put into Court. The copy was given him by Mr. Palin, and the contents sanc tioned by the Duke of York. The insolvent denied that he secreted these papers to make money by them after he was discharged. The COURT was of opinion, that these papers, whe ther they related to the estate or not, should be deposited with the provisional assignee. Mr. HARRISON, the King's Counsel, who sat on the Bench, observed, that there was not one word of ti uth in what had been said as to the genuineness of these pa pers, and the promises ; they did not emanate from any person connected with the Government, and the insol vent must have been egregiously imposed on. The COURT ordered the final bearing to be adjourned sine die, and directed the papers to be lodged with the assignee for inspection.--The distinguished persons who had been subpoenaed as witnesses, remained in the anti , room during the investigation. SPORTING INTELLIGEN CE. POTTERY RACES. SUI2IIEY SFSSIO.NS, JAN. 23. . . • Thomas Waller, a'f'ire porfer, in the employment of the Royal Exchange Insurance Company, was indicted for assaulting, Nicholas Edwin, a Police Constable, in the execution of his office, at a fire, which happened at a timber-yard, in Bennet -street, Blackfriars-road, on the 4thof.tiovember last. Nicholas Edwin stated, that he was a Police Con stable of Union-Hall. On the sth of November, he was present at the fire in Bennet -street; there was an im mense mob collected, and the police and parish con stables formed a line to assist the operations of the fire men in the discharge of their duty, to prevent robberies. He saw Waller thrusting violently through the mob, and put up his stick to prevent his coming that way; upon which the defendant struck him with his clenched fist in the face, broke his stick, and tore his coat to pieces. Hall, the head constable, then desired him to be taken to the watch-house. The defendant had on a dark drab great coat, ancl had no appearance of being a fireman; but on the way to the watch•house he unbuttoned his coat, and attempted to take out his, badge, which was suspended to a chain worn about his neck. At the watch-house Hall asked the foreman of the firemen if the defendant was not drunk, and was told that he was the worse for liquor. Cross-examined.—He knew the livery of the Royal Exchange Company ; there was nothing in the dress of the defendant to distinguish him as being a fireman. The crowd was very great, and by the violence of Wal ler the ,pressure became increased. He did not strike till he was struck. 'Waller never said he wa; a fireman. - Hall, the chief constable of Union-Hall, said, ho' was in the habit of attending 100 fires in a year, and he bad always: fomid that robberies were most frequent at them. It was usual for firemen to bring a friend with them, and if Thomas, a fireman, with whom the • plain tiff was, had said that Waller was a fireman, he would have been suffered to pass without opposition ; but he did not say alto he was till after he had struck Edwin. At the watch-house he behaved like a drunken man, by pulling off his clothes. Wright, the foreman, ad mitted that the defendant was drunk. At a few yards distance witness saw the violence of Waller, and before he could get up to him, the defendant struck Edwin in the face. There were at least 500 thieies at the fire on that occasion. Clarke, another officer; Jones, a Bow-street parole; and Williams, a parish constable, all corroborated the foregoing statement. Several s itnesses were called by the defendant's Counsel, to endeavour to prove that the assault was first committed by the prosecutor, but they were not bene ficial to the defendant's case. The CHAIRMAN having summed up the evidence, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty.--The Court, taking into coibideration the recommendation of the prosecutor as well as the Jury, under all the circumstances sen tenced the defendant to pay a fine of 64. Bd. to 'the King. M AiI.I.I3OIP.MIGH-STR;;ET. Benjamin llalford was ord,red to find bail for assaulting* child - four years of age, with int-nt to violate her person. I J Brant was sent to the Tread mail for a month, as an impostor, being in the habit of going into public-houses, pretending to be des: and dumb, and imploring charity by signs. Nary Notan was charEwl a ith imposing on the officers of St. Giles's Parish. She stated to the Overseers that she was pregna:o, and if they would redeem her clothes, which were pledged, she could be admitted into the %Vestolioster lefirmary. A man, motto attended with her, stated himself to be porter to the liifirmr - y,and said he was Commissioned by the Matron to confirm the applicant'; statement. Her dothes were accordingly redeemed, nod incue! given to relieve her present wants; but the Matron stated, that the was totally ignorant of the whole circumstance. The lady was sent to spend a month at the Tread-mill, instead of the Infirmary. Two young Ladies, who are partners Ls the filillinery trade, sp. peared before the Magistrate to settle an affair of assault committed by Miss Pullen on Miss Smith. Miss Smith said, that being a partner of Miss Pullen's, she received an order from Lady Sid. mouth to make her a cap of a peculiar cut, with which Miss riill••1 was not at all acquainted • and while prepating for the due execu tion of this order, Miss acquainted; refused to allow her the Kept tos. terials* for doing an, and she was therefore, as Lady Sioutontli wanted the cap at a precise time, in the act of writing *letter to her Ladyship, explaining the cause of her not being able to perform her engagement, when Miss Pullen dittoed the work-room in a great rage, and assaulted her, at the same time teerhig the letter in pieces from her hand, and the cap from her head. In answer to this, Miss Pullen declared that she only " shoved" Miss Smith ; and as for making caps, she could cut or trim one any day with her, notwithitanding all her boast. Witnesses were now examined, attornies i eltrke, made speeches. Miss Pullen vociferated, Miss Smith simpered, and sighed " Des: - me !" and the whole came to the conclusion that Miss Pullen was ordered to find bail for the assault, and Lady Sidsnouth was obliged to go without her cap. The landlord of Miss Pullen's house offered to bail that Lady, tat ale positively refused to give any bail, and declared she would have nothing but a prison ; and, throwing herself into an attitude of sur render, commanded the officers to take her off to jail immediately. A few minutes sojourn, however, in the lock-op-room, cooled her ardour for prison discipline, and she at length consented that her landlord should bail her, which he accordingly did. and eke was discharged.
