!INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACTS. Since the year 1813, varirms statutes have bia passed to create a permanent itr riseiction for investi gating the affairs of Insolvent Debtcrs, instead of those temporary laws fot their relief (commonly called Acts of (,race), which, almost de anno in annum, had been conee.ied occasionally by -the - Legislature,-since the reign of King Charles ll.* The Acts at present in farce, and under authority_ of which the - Coot now oleic's — R4i functions, are, 1 Geo. IV. cap. 119; 3 Geo. IV. cap. 128; and 5 Geo. IV. cap. 61, by the last of which (sec. 12.) it is en acted, s 4 That the said. recited Acts, or either of them, shall not extend to any person in actual custody, who shall not be, at the tinge of filing his petition, and during all the proceedings thereon, in actual custody within the walls of the prison, and not within any rules or liberties thereof." On the .sth July last, Parliament passed an Act, (6 Geo. IV. cap. 121,) reciting, that, 'g in consequence of the present crowded state of the King's Bench prison, it is expedient to relax the said recited provi sion f r some time, and the same inconvenience may liappen in the Fleet Prison ;" and therefore enacting, bec. 1. " That it shall be lawful for the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, at any time after any petitioner, being a pri soner within the walls of either of the said prisons, shall have ob tained from the said Court an order for hearing his petition, to grant a dispensation to such petitioner, with the provisions herein before recited, if the said Court shall think fit ; provided that no such dispensation shaU be granted to any petitioner, unless the Court shall be satisfied, by the affidavit of a physician, surgeon, or apothecary, either that the petitioner cannot continue to reside within the walls without injury to his health t, or that, for the sake of the health of the prisoners in general, it is necessary that the number of prisoners within the walls of such prison should be reduced." Sec. 2. Provided, " That if any prisoner having a dispensation to reside without the walls, and within the rules and liberties of either of the said prisons, by virtue of this Act, shall, without law ful cause, go beyond the limits of the said rules and liberties, such prisoner shall ipso facto be deprived of all benefit of any of the Acts for the relief of insolvent debtors." And See. s. Enacting, " That this Act shall continue and be in force until the end of the next Session of Parliament." Itr Scotland the law has, from a period of very re- mote antiquity, pet mitied the temporary enlargement of prissiness, upon what is there called a 84 Bill of Health," the nature and effect of which are well ex plained by Professor Bell, in his excellent Commen taries on the Principles of Mercantile Jurisprudence, considered in relation to bankruptcy, competitions of creditors, and imprisonment for debt; 4th edition, 1810, pp. 583, 584, 685. The whole regulations upon this subject are contained in she following Act of Se derunt, or Rule of Court, made by the Lords of Ses sion so long ago as 14th June, 1671 :—" The Lords considering, that albeit, by the law, Magistrates of Burghs are obliged to detaine, in sure ward and &m -ance, persons incarcerate in their tolbooths for debt, yet hitherto they have been in use to indulge prisoners to goe abroad upon severall occasions; and it being expedient, that, in time comeing, the foresaid liberty taken by Magistrates of Burghs should be restrained, and the law direly observed: Theref'.re, the said Lords doe declare, that hereafter it shall not be lawful! to the Magistrates of Burghs, upon any occasion whatsomever, fr without.a warrand from his Majesty's Privy Council," (meaning the Privy Council of Scotland,—abolished at the time of the Union) " or the Lotds of Session, to permitt any person, incarcerate in their tolbooth for debt, to goe out of prison, except onely in the case of the party's sickness and cstiearne danger of life, the same being always attested upon oath, under the hand of a physician, chirurgeon-apothecary, or Minister of the Gospell, in the place ; which testificate shall be re corded in the town Court books: and in that case, that the Magistrates allow the patty only liberty to reside in some house within the town, dureing the continuance of his sickness, they being alwayes answerable that the party escape not, and upon his recovery to return to prison. And the Lords declare, that any Magistrates of Burghs, who shall contraveen the piernises, shall be lya'sle in payment of the debt, for which the rebel) (debtor) was incarcerate. And appoints this Act to be intimate to the agent for the Royal) Burrows, and to be insert in the books of sederunt." • The earliest of those t‘ruporary laws is 22d and 23d Car. 11. cap. '2O ( A.D. 1670 and 1671) occasioned chiefly by the calamities resulting from the great fire of London, in September, 1666. t This appears to be the very first instance in which the law of England ever paid any attention to the state of a prisoner's health, as is proved by two most valuable documents, entered upon the Journals of Parliament, viz.-1. Report " from the Lords' Com mittee, appointed to inquire into the present State of the Practice of Imprisonment for Civil Debt, and the consequence thereof."— Lords' Journals, vol. 47, from p. 182 to p. 201 inclusive. 2. Re port " from the Committee who were appointed to inquire into the Practice and Effects of Imprisonment for Debt."—Commons' Journ. vol. 47, p. 640 to p. 673 inclusive. Of the former of these Committees, the present Marquis of Hastings was Chairman; of the latter, the present Earl (then Mr.) Grey : and the anxious care and attention with which, on both occasions, every point connected with the important law of debtor and creditor was investigated, reflect the highest honour upon the characters and feelings of these noble persons. A large importation of Westphalia hams has taken place, in consequence of the duty on them having been reduced horn Is. to 6d. per lb. Vie Wormier Herald says—" NVe have heard of as many as twenty apprentices who, upon the promise of a high bounty and other advantages, have latrly been induced to abscond from their masters' employ, in this city, to enlist in a regiment, the recruiting party of which, we understand, Is now stationed at Woodstock." A handbill has been published at Bath, signed by more than one hundred of the most respectable house. olders, stating that they will not deal with any fish monger who :doses to abolish the horrible torture of pegging lobsters. The fishmongers of Ball have, in reply, published a statement in which they deny that tie practice is followed by them, and they heal tily cc,n- CUr ir. the humane sentiment expressed in the handbill, a: the same time undertaking to use their influence ;th the fishermen who inflict the cruelty complained of, to get it abolished. Friday, a chimney sweep was convicted in the Po lice Court, Edinburgh, of a very singular outrage. The alacrity which the members of the sooty frate:nity display on occasion of fires is very great; hut their zeal occasionally outruns their discretion. A jeweller and silversmith having occasion to make use of his furnace, he applied to it an immense fire, the eosins cations from which irradiated the top of his chimney, which was not, however, in the least endangered. The sweep observing this, gave himself no tine for deliberation, but at once mounted the scot of :he house, and poured down the chimney a e:euge of water, just as the silversmith had removed a crucible full of metal. The astonishment of those beneath at this sudden inundation may well be conceived. The sweep, in his operations, hid broken some cans, and done other misdeeds, for all of which he was sentenced by the Magistrate to pay 15s. of dansdges, besides costs. • • CORONER'S INQUESTS. DitEADIPI* Dearn....l4dnesday evening, an Inqui- 1 sition was tan at the Queentharlotte Tav ern, Chutes; street, Depteird, eirthe body of Mr. George Lewis, .a master lighteemaa, of Princes sweet, Lambeth, who-met his death brthe following dreadful catastrophe :—Mr. James West, of Lewisham, stated, that on Monday af .ternoon.last.a bullock was driven from Smithfield to the house of Mr. Getty, a butcher at Lewisham ; the animal seemed, when with the drove, to be perfectly harmless and quiet. It was separated from the others, and placed in a yard fenced in belonging to Mr. tatty, when it became quite furious and unmanageable, owing to its being placed by itself. After numerous attempts to free itself from its place of confinement, it c ffected its escape over several garden grounds, and gained the high road, and pursued its course towards the metropolis, to the danger of the foot passengers—two Ladies, who were walking on the footh-path, near New Cross, were neces skated, to avoid the furious beast, to jump into a ditch by the road-side, by which stratagem they fortunately escaped its notice. On its arrival at New Cross, the bullock turned out of the road into the footpath, and tee deceased, who was coming towards him, held up his arms, as if to turn it back, when the beast ran at him and struck him on the breast with its heed, and just as he was. falling, one of its horns entered the left eye of the deceased, who fell to the ground quite insensible, in which state he was carried to the workhouse, and re mained so till he died. The bullock continued its course for about 200 yards further, when it was turned into a field amongst other beasts, by which means it was pre vented from doing any further mischief. M. Haifa, a surgeon, deposed that the deceased's left eye was out, the hewn of the beast having entered just above the eye. lid, and passed through the orbit into the brain.—All the witnesses said that there could be no blame attached to any one, and they considered the case purely accifi dental.—Tne Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death.—Deodand five shillings on the bullock." The unfortunate deceased, who was nearly fifty )ears of age, has left a family. Saturday, about one o'clock, a poor man was found by John Reece, serjeant of the watch, in S:. Pancras parish, atting down on a step -at a door next to the King's Head, at the corner of Tottenham-court-road on being questioned by the watchman as to his resi dence, he said he lived in St. Giles's. Reece assisted him up from the step of the door; he appeared very feeble, and walked with a stick and a crutch. Reece walked a little way with him down Tottenham-court toad, and left him; shortly afterwards, as he was cross ing the road, the man fell down, and Reece again went to him and helped him up, and told him if he could not walk home, he should be taken to the watch. house, but he said he would rather go home. About three o'clock Reece again saw him, between Pancras and Francis -street, leaning against some railings; he spoke to him, and asked him why he had got no farther ? he said, he had stopped to rest himself, and would go on directly: be seemed very much fatigued; the watch man then left him. Soon after nine o'clock, on the same morning, a person called on John Wyatt, one of the beadles of St. Pancras parish, and told him that there was a man lying in the street in a dying state: he immediately went to the spot and found that the watch-house keepers had just put the man into a hackney coach; he got into the coach, and proceeded with the man to the workhouse: he appeared very ill, and it was feared would die in the coach, before he reached the workhouse. Wyatt endeavoured to learn who he was, and where he lived, but the only answer he could obtain to the question he put was "-sixty-nine." The man was much ema ciated, and his clothes bespoke the most abject state of poverty. When he arrived at the workhouse, his pockets were searched, in which were found 9d. in half. pence, and a few pieces of paper ; and in his hat was found three-squared file, but nothing was found on him to elucidate his name or residence. He was taken to the Infirmary and attended by two surgeons. He had cut his nose in falling, and his legs were much bruised. Everything that could afford relief and assist his recovery was promptly administered, but he died about four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. His head was afterwards opened by the parish surgeon, and a great effusion of serum found on the brain, the effect of inflammation, arising from acute disease, and which no doubt caused his death. An Inquest was held on the body, before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. the Coroner, on Wednesday, at the Elephant and Castle, Hampstead-road, and the Jury returnee a verdict of— " Died by the visitation of GOD." The triple line of Custom-house Officers on that part of the Northern frontiers of France adjoining the Ne therlands, is more vigilant than ever. SHIPWRECK.—On the morning of Friday, the 7th inst. the Betsey of Whitehaven, a small vessel of about ten tons burthen, sailed from the Isle Of Whithorn, in Galloway, for Whitehaven, in ballast. Her crew con sisted of two persons—the master, Robert Love, and his son, a boy of about 13 years of age ; and when half way between Whithorn and the Ross, the father con fided the helm to his son, and employed himself in re moving a piece of coal, which by accident had got into the pump-box. During this operation, a heavy sea struck the Betsey on the broadside, and made her heel with such ♦iolence that poor Love was pitched over board, and unfortunately drowned. His son, who was thus left entirely helpless, was incapable of rendering him the smallest assistance, and his story is, that he never saw his father afterwards. To save his own life, the poor lad ran the boat ashore at Brighouse Bay, and succeeded in getting safely to land ; but the vessel has became a total wreck. Friday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, as Mr. W. HADDERIICH, son of a Gentleman of large fortune residing at Rickerscote, near Stafford, was returning from Rugeley Races, and had arrived at Silkmore-lane, about a mile from his father's house, the horse on which he rode became restive, and in his endeavours to ma nage him he was carried with great violence against a tree, by which be received so violent a blow upon his head, that he was thrown from the saddle, and killed on the spot. The horse galloping home alarmed the family, some of whom immediately proceeded to :he place, and one of the first to discover the lifeless body was his agonised father, who is thus bereaved of an oily child. The unfortunate young man was about 25 years of age. A few minutes only before the melancholy catastrophe, he had parted with some friends who had accompanied him from the Races. The admirers of brutality to the canine species had an exquisite treat on Tuesday evening, at the badger-pit in Holborn, in a dog and a bitch fight, for ff:y sove reigns. Wedgbury seconded the winner, and M.mt 'the loser, which died in the pit, and the other was 'taken away nearly dead, after three hours' fight.ng. liiiiffitii -_...-.Mh......Ji 1.1•1111 LIVERPOOL, °crop's,. 11. Friday, we experienced a very sudden gale from the .north-west, which continuedviith great violence about 'half an hour. Du' ng the right there had 6i:11 a heavy fall of lain, butsis the early part of the morning was calm, and the wind south-east,. a number of sail-Moats were occupied in attending vessels in the river going to sea when the storm came on: four of the boats, were. Bret to state, were upset, and five persons belonging to them perished. o.le of the boats belonging to Mr. Daney, with four men, three of whom were lost, the other was washed on shore in a most exhausted state, but 'through the humane attentions of Mrs. Boode, of Mockbeggar Hall, to which he had been conveyed, he fortunately recovered. In Oldfield's boat -two men were drowned, oldfield and the other man being at the time on board the vessel, alorvide of which the boat was lying at the time. The crews of the other two boats were happily saved : the men belonging to Storer's by ropes thrown to their assistance from the floating-light, by which they were enabled to retch that place in sifety, and the crew of the other was picked up by a fishing boat. A pleasure boat, with a fishing-party of sixteen persons on board, who had gene out about six o'clock, was driven on shore near Hoylake, but the whole of them succeeded in reaching the land, though not without being completely drenched. The boat soon a:terwAlds kl:Cd with water. Several of the. !mall craft in the river received damage in the gale. The names of the men lost in Daney's boat are—Thomas Day, who has left a wife and one child; John Al‘Guire, leaving a uife and one child ; and W. Crowder a single man. The sufferers in Oldfield's boat are—W. Copple and W. Lyon, both single men. None of the bodies have yet been found. Fita AT SCA RUMMY HALL.—Wednesday night, a fire broke out at Scarisbrick Hall, near Liverpool, which, for some time, threatened destruction to the whole of that ancient pile of building. The alterations and improvements which have been going on for se veral years, were nearly completed ; and the workmen had on that day made preparations for nailing down the floor of a large room, in the western wing of the mansion, by burning the shavings, &c. in a chimney, the construction of which seems not to have been pro perly attended to, for the blaze set fire to the end of a beam let into the chimney and so l communicated to the roof, which in that part was totally destroyed. The family and visitors %vele retiring to rest about half-past ten o'clock, when the fire was discovered. The tenantry in the immediate vicinity quickly assembled at the sound of the great hall bell, and a messenger was dis patched to Ormskirk (a distance of about three miles) for the fire engine, which arrived, and was got into play as soon as possible. Mr. SCARISBRICK, with his bro ther, Mr. DICCONSION, and the two MeSsTS.FITZHIREERT, who happened to be staying in the house, used great personal exertions and directed the labours of the ser vants and tenants with judgment, until the engine ar rived, and the progress of the flames was finally ar rested about thiee o'clock on Thursday mor,ing. The fire was prevented from reaching the main part of the house, but the danger was considered so threatening,that the furniture and valuables were removed trom every room in the mansion. Mrs. SCARISIRICIE, and the fe males of the establishment, were greatly alarmed, bu we do not hear that any personal accident has occurredt POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Jonathan Thomas Johnson, James Hunter Gray, and Henry Yates. were brought up on a variety of charges of having obtained goods on false pretences from several shopkeepers. Mr. Dunnett, of Cheapside, toy-warehouse, stated, that on Mon day week the prisoner Yates came to his house, and ordered a back gammon table, a set of chessmen, a set of draftsmen, and two ivory dice-boxes, value altogether inn 17s. which he directed should be sent to the Counting-house of Craig' and Yates, 205, Upper Thames. street, precisely at six o'clock, when his chaise would be ready to take him to the country, and he would then pay for them. Wit ness went at the time appointed and saw Gray and Johnson, who told him that Mr. Yates had just left the ogee, and he might either leave the articles or take them, as be pleased. Witness did not leave them. The next day he sent them by his porter, who, con. trary to his directions, left them without the money. He sent the porter for them immediately, but they were taken away in the in. terim. He went himself to the office and saw Gray, who told him be did not know where Mr. Yates's country-bonso was, as he was but Wee days in his employment. On his next visit he found the parties were all gone, and on examining the Counting-house, found there was nothing in it but a broken old ledger of fourteen years old. He also found there was a back door to the house, through which, he was informed by the landlady, everything that was brought in for the prisoners was sent away. Mrs. Lodge, the landlady of the house, stated, that the prisoner (Yates), took the Counting-house from her about three months since, in t►e name of Craggs and Yates, and the other two prisoners appeared to act as his clerks. A great quantity of goods were con tinually brought to the house, which were constantly taken away by the back door. Shopever attended to the prisoners' proceedings, nor had any particular conversation with them. Yates bad no chaise nor carriage of any kind. One or two other cases were gone into, when the Alderman said, the charges were sufficiently proved to commit all the prisoners ; and it was finally arranged that the witnesses should attend on Sa turday to read over their depositions, to which day the prisoners were remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Emilia Bonnet was yesterday brought up, charged by Mr. Wii son, from whom she had hired furnished lodgings, in the neighbour hood of the Seven-dials, with having taken away a bolster, a blanket, a table-cloth, and a couple of napkins. Mrs. Bonnet, who Is the wife of a foreigner, admitted the taking away the articles specified ; but alleged that she bad not caked them to pledge on her own account, but that she had lent them to another person, who she believed, however, had pawned them. She justi fied the so doing in this way 1—" My present lodgings were paid up to the 24th of the present menth, and I lent these articles on the principle, that so long as I had paid my rent I was at liberty to do what I Pleased with the furniture." _ _ Your principle is quite wrong, said Mr. Res, the sitting• Magi.. true, you had no such powt: as you Imagine. Mrs. Bonnet is a decent, but simple-looking woman. and ap peared perfectly uncumcious of having done anything wrong. She was remanded, to endeavour, if possible. to recover the things taken away, and make some arrangement with Mr. Wilson. MARY-LA-BONNE. Yesterday a respectable looking man applied to Mr. Gamest, for a warrant under the following circumstances t—He stated that soon after nine o'clock, on the evening of Wednesday, he was walk. ing along the New-road, when he heard the report of ire-arms some distance behind him, and almost at the same instant, some. thing whizzed past his ear, which be doubted not was a bullet, in tended by some assassin fur his head. He instantly wheeled round in some amszement,and stood for several minutes, when a man, whom he never before or since had seen, came tap, in the direction from which the report proceeded, and with only this pre. face," D— you, I'll teach you to break the lamps," commenced belabouring him in the most desperate manner (of which beating he bore many marks), and after occupying himself several minutes beating and kicking him, he departed buddealy, leaving him on the ground nearly senseless. lie had made some inquiries which in. duced him to hope that he would be enabled to make out this ex traordinary assailant. Mr. Gairran ordered a warrant to be issued at the applicant's request. WO RS H I I'-STREET. W. Easterbrook, with his wife and daughter, were charged u fol lows:—The former was foreman to Mr. Abthorpe, stay-maker in High Holborn, who in passing through Shoreditch, aaw three pair 4 stays in a pawnbroker's window, which he knew tub e L , nerty ; and, on inquiry, he learned they were pledged by a r i named Easterbrook. A seart.h warrant w as torn precut:: on the person of the,wife were found 15 d u pli cates for stl;"' corsets pledged at different pawnbrokers, and in the reein pairs of stays, eight of which only were entered in the 'c on k, male p...uner, after some ke.::l;°4 dropped on h d i u s p k li n ei ees tes' and h :onfessed 'i bis guilt..

D. ladle, a genteel looking young man, was charged w i l ` bersliug property to a ennsiderable amount belongin g to I ts ployers, Messrs. Plaxton and Darks, sugar refiners in Rupert., Whitechapel. The prisoner seemed duly sen.ible of the awfu p, dicantent in which be stood, and made no defence.—H e was committed for trial. QU ERN. SQUA RE. Yesterday s novel scene presented itself at this Office. A stir man, named Charles Sparrow, who described himself residisr Prescott -street, Windsor, was brought before --- charged by Mrs. Jane Bosse!' with felony, in having stolen h t i oa good dress (a black gown), on which great store was plated, a s ' had only passed the altar of Hymen the previous day. The prosecutries statement went to prove, that, for some past she had been living with the prisoner, but left hills on Tuesj o last at Windsor, and proceeded to town, and was married ost following day to Mr. David Russell, at St. Luke's Church, sea. Alter the ceremony was over, and having spent the day their friends, they repaired to their lodgings, in Castle-yard, dm{ row, Chelsea, to pass the remainder erase night; but early th. , ant morning the prisoner bounced upon them, entered the hed•rv i , sans cerentonis, while shecnd her husband were in bed, and iustrsu, tore the gown in question off the line, and took it away. Magistrate—Did you attempt to pursue him? Mrs. Russell—Ob, dear! no, Sir; I was undressed. i t i. sti the value of the gown that occasioned his being brought Wise your Worship ; all I want is peace and quietness now I n, our tied, as my husband is a very inoffensive man; and :tarin g into the holy bonds of wedlock, happiness is all that I reg%k st• is a very unfortunate thing— Magistrate—Unfortunate!

Russell—He ►as got several things of mint at his lakiap at Windsor, which he refuses to give up. The Magistrate now.called upon the individual to aniver aurae alleged against him • but he being completely filled with t h Tuscan grape, was ordered to be taken care of, and the luny to attend to•tnorrow, when, in all probability, the fumes otould It evaporated. UNION-HALL Mr. and 3Crs. Collantheil, of Dover-place, Kent-road, attended under the authority of a warrant obtained by Mary Anti Wilson, a young woman who resided in their service a short time. The complainant was in an extremely delicate state of bro t h, and was accommodated with a seat. From her statement, it secul.l seem that in consequence of having omitted calling a little by, lb ; Collambell's son, " Master" Donald, she incurred her employer's displeasure, who held up his fist in her face, and was highly kil g . nant at the omission, observing that she could only have called a chimney-sweep's boy Donald, and that in addressing the son of a Gentleman it was requisite to use the word Master. Presectle afterwards she went to give warning. Her feelings were sewer powered on her master's scolding her, she said, that she went into an hysteric fit. When us this state her mistress came and drenched her with water, and a surgeon named Waterworth, who resided is the neighboorhOod, was sent for, who proposed bleeding her in the jugular vein, but the having recovered, was sent home to her mother's, and although it Is now about a fortnight since the tramc tion she was not recovered. A fellow servant proved that Mrs. Collambell threw the water over the girl, whose mother represented her clothes to he drilling wet when she reached home, and that she had been very ill ever since, and was attended by a surgeon. M. SVIAlrf, Fug. was of opinion that there had been too mash water thrown over the girl, but as there did not appear any imen don on the part of _Mrs. CollambeU to use any harshness towards her, he should dismiss the warrant as far as regarded that lady, and only call upon her husband to answer it, as it affected him, is his own recognizance in £4O, to answer the charge of assault at tie &Ideas. About half-past five o'clock on Friday night, the Duke of Norfolk coach, from Sheffield to Matechester, was overturned on this side of the canal bridge, at t:le half-way between Ashton and Manchester, owing, as we are informed, to the breaking of one of the axletret. There were several passengers, both inside and out; and three of the latter, namely, twa men and o e woman, received very severe fractures and other inju ries; but we believe none of them are likely to be at tended with fatal consequences. _ _ OLIVER Cuosswer.r. being afraid of cabals from the expelled family, thought it dangerous to permit per sons, particularly Noblemen, to quit the kingdom without leave. A young Nobleman in the interest of CHARLES 11. came to pay his respects to the PROTECTOR, and solicit leave of absence from the country.—Caosi watt immediately granted the request, but said, H Well, let me see you soon again, but don't see CHARLES STUART." " 1 will not, upon my honour,' replied the Peer. The Nobleman soon returneJ, and coming to pay his duty to the Protector, CaoatwELl. snatched his hat oat of his hands, and with a penknife quickly cut open the lining, and from the inside tt.ok out several letters and papers directed to the faiends of CHARLES. " 0 shame," cried OLIVER, 4' is this Litt way the English Nobles keep their honour? Did yor not promise not to see CHARLES STUART?'' " 1 dil not see him," answered the Nobleman. 4 , Then," sail CROMWELL, " who put out the candle,you or CHARM?' OLIVER bad cunningly contrived to put a spy of biz own into the Peer's service, who discovered that at the interview the Knso first put out the lights. BIRTHS.
