immossoiftrimmi.rooot • INSOLENT DE TORS' COURT. j aws &sada, a horse-dealer, was opposed by James Malcolm, a gardener, at Brentford, who stated , twat he bought a horse from the insolvent at Smith field for £l6, which the insolvent warranted to draw well: but on trying him in the market he found the horse was a roarer, and not worth as many shillings as he had given pounds. He in consequence returned him to the insolvent, and demanded his money. The insolvent refused to return the money, but said he should have another horse; and he certainly seemed to have plenty of the same sort. Witness finding he had no chance of his money, took another horse, of which the insolvent gave a high character, but on trying him he proved to be a kicker, that would destroy the cart and kill the driver ; of course he was returned. The insolvent then gave him a third horse, which he said no man alive could find fault with ; but the very first trial of him in the cart chewed he was a sticker, that would not draw at all. On inquiry witness found that some of these horses had been sold by the insolvent fifty times over, and always returned; still as he could get no money from him, he thought it better to take the first; which he considered the best, and asked the insolvent for it, who promised to give it, and brought him to town on five successive Fri days to get it. At length, seeing no chance of getting any horse, he had a writ served on the insolvent, who immediately said to him—" Very well ; I'll soon pay you ; go to prison for six weeks, and live on your money, and.that is all you shall ever get." The CHIEF COMMISSIONZE, in pronouncing the jade meat of the Cpurt, said, it was highly necessary to ;hew these fraudulent dealers in horses that they could not escape se easily as the present insolvent seemed to ex pect, when he was defrauding Mr. Malcolm. TheTudg ment of the Court was, that he should be imprisoned eight months from the dite of his petition. Thomas Gosling ) a Wiltshire farmer, was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK for Joseph Pitt, Esq. The case had been referred to Mr. Dance, the provisional assignee, who re ported that the insolvent, in his examination before him, first denied that he held any property, either freehold, copyhold, or leasehold, under Lord Suffolk, but that he afterwards admitted that a lease was intended to have been made to him in December last of two cottages in the manor of Hackerton, Wiltshire; which lease, how ever, was not executed to him, but to his son, he (the insolvent) having no interest in it whatever. The insolvent was now examined by Mr. Pou.oCK, and admitted that a lease of the two cottages in ques tion had been made to him by Lord Suffolk for three lives, at is. 6d. a year, of which'he executed a deed of release and consignment to his son in March last. A receipt for £l4O, as the consideration received from his son, was also signed by him. (These documents were received by the opposing creditor, from Lord Suffolk's steward.) In his examination in explanation, by Mr. HEATH, the insolvent stated, that he never received any rent for these cottages. He had signed all the deeds pro duced at the desire of the agent of Lord Suffolk, under whom he was tenant Sit svill of a farm. lie never had possession of the deeds, nor derived any interest what ever under them, ner received a far thing of the £l4O. Charles James Forest, examined by Mr. PoLt.ocx, stated, that he was solicitor for Mr. Pitt, at whose suit he brought an action against the insolvent, on his pro missory notes for £lOOO, to which he put in five pleas: amongst them were a plea of fraud in covenant; and a plea of satisfaction. Mr. Pitt obtained a verdict in March last, for £1,22.55. the amount of the notes and interest. The taxed costs were £7O. The insolvent since filed a bill in equity to stay execution, which wit ness understood was dismissed. The insolvent, in a second examination in explana tion of this, swore that the debt of I.:1000 was due to Mr. Pitt by the trustees of a tnrnpike road in Wiltshire, of whom he (the insolvent) was one; and that Mr. Pitt holds a bond for it from all the trustees, with a security on the tolls of the road. Besides being a trustee, insolvent was also surveyor of this road, and Mr. Pitt, who was also a trustee, came to him in 1818, and said he wanted to have some of the Wotton-Basset electors employed on the road, to prevent their becoming paupers, and that he would advance a loan of i.:1000 or £l5OO to the road, ifnecessary. Insolvent replied that he would employ them, if they would work as well as others. Accord - ingly, forty burgesses of Wotton-B.tsset were sent down to the road, which was forty miles distant; and Mr. pitt advanced money as it was wanted, for which in solvent gave him Iris promissory notes. When the in solvent's accounts were settled before the trustees, Mr. Pitt was present, and received a bend for his debt from all the trustees, which he (Mr. Pitt) himself was going to sign, until he was told it was improper to sign a bond to himself. He and the insolvent afterwards had sortie differences about making electors for Malmsbury. In solvent took the part of the gentleman who west down from London, for which Mr. Pitt deplored he would ruin him ; and for that purpose he brought an action against him for £lOOO on the promissory notes. In solvent had expended 1:500 of his own money on the road, for which he took the trustees bond, as Mr. Pitt did ; and both bonds wire signed on the same day, in September, MI& The COURT held, that as there was no concealment of actual property from the creditors, the insolvent should be discharged. He should, however, insert the freehold in his schedule. and then let the assignees get at it if they could. They lamented that he had sup pressed the existence of the lease in his examination be fore Mr. Dance; but it was one of the demoralising ef fects of electioneering squabbles, that they made parties quite regardless of their oaths. As for Mr. Pitt, be had other securities for his debt. Henry Pullen, another farmer, was opposed by Mr. Pou.octt, for Daniel Warren and Sarah Holdman. The insolvent states that he had held a farm in which had a life interest; but wanting to raise a sum of moneysupon it by mortgage, which he could not do un his son, who had a reversionary interest in it, joined I im, he prevailed upon him to do so, and executed a l 'mortgage for aso, aU of which he received. In con- I s;deration of having joined him in the mortgage, he as signed over hit life estate to his son, who now lived on the estate, in the same house the insolvent had occupied, and his (iesolvent's) wire lived with him as his house keeper. H: had been sold for £5B, by M , lete, him that his Attorney would let him opt. Mr. Lee, they observed, was a respectable man, but he would here re ceive a lesson, that this was not the way to do business. Jonat t ina giestaves Foster, a Captain on the half-pay of the Rifle Brigade, was opposed by several creditors. The investigation of this case occupied the Court to a late hour ; but the principal facts which appeared were dieser—The insolvent had been a debtor fgr twenty-two months in the Kiss's Bench prison, for &To last twelve of which he was confined within t he walls, having for feited his liberty of the Rules by going down to Mar gate in consequence of some domestic misfortune,— While in the Rules he received a set of emeralds and dia monds from Mr.Clatke, one of the partners in a jewel. lery shop in Cheapside, which he disposed of shortly afterwards, through Mr. Phillips, for 2001. The insol vent's statement of this transaction was, that he was in the habit of meeting Mr. Clarke at sporting houses, who ell knew how he was situated, and that he was a pri soner in the Rules of the King's Bench. From him he received the jewels for the avowed purpose of raising money upon them, to supply his wants, for which he was to give his bills, payable in twelve months, for 310/. Having had them valued by another jeweller, who said they were worth only 2261. he offered nearly that sum to Mr. Clarke, but he refused it. He also tendered him back the jewels, but he would not take them. He sent them to Mr. Phillips for sale in July, 1822, having re ceived them in the preceding June, and Mr. Phillips disposed of them for 2001. Mr. Clarke, in his account of the transaction, denied that he knew how the insolvent was circumstanced when he sold him the jewels, or that he was a prisoner; but swore that he let him have them on a representation that he wanted them for his wife to appear at Court in. It was untrue that anything was said about raising mo ney on them, and the sum for which they were sold was 5731.-,twenty guineas less than the price for which they. were marked. It was also untrue that he tendered theM back. • It appeared from the statement of a creditor named Watts;•that the insolvent's wife had hired a piano-forte of him for three months, and after repeated calls, the in solvent at length wad him that he would either buy that or another inAlrinent from him. However, when Mr. Watts next called at their house in York-street, he found a bill upon the window ? . and the insolvent and family gone away. There was a great deal of eam*ation on other sub jects, but these two were the leadinA points of the case. The insolvent had been wounded three times, and had suffered much from confinement and protracted indis position. Besides a, wife, he had three children ; and a pension which he had been allowed was withdrawn two years ago, in consequence of the Medical Board certify ing that his wounds were healed. The Cover, in giving judgment, weighed the proba bilities of the conflicting statements of the insolvent and Mr. Clarke, and considering all the circumstances of the insolvent's conduct, as appearing during, this inves tigation, declared that they were fully disposed to give credit to the testimony of Mr. Clarke. Upon that round, therefore, and for his conduct respecting Mr. Watts's piano -forte, they felt themselves called upon to withhold the insolvents discharge for some time lo3ger. In consideration, however, of his long previous impri sonment by his detaining creditors, of whom Mr. Clarke was one, which must be taken as a part of his punish ment, they would not protract his confinement so long as they other.% ise would. The judgment of the Court, under all the circumstances ' was, that he should be re manded for six months, and be confined within the walls : of the prison. CORONER'S INQUEST. • •11. An Inquest was held on Thursday at the Nag's Head, in Wandsworth-road, before Writ. Fitattsts, Eiq. Deputy Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, on view of ' the body of Henry Long, a boy seven years of age. This case excited great sensation in the parish of Clapham, and rumours had been spread that the boy's death had been caused by a young man immersing him in a tub of water. In consequence of such a report the parish officers directed that an inquiry should be insti tuted, they having previously ascertained that the Matter was attempted to be hushed up. The deceased was la bouring under a malady that made him almost an idiot, and he was in.consequence the ridicule of other boys in the neighbourhood. The inquiry lasted seven hours, during which the following evidence was adduced. Mary Hayman, aged 13, residing in Matrimony. place, Clapham, deposed, that on Monday, the Bth inst. about three o'clock in the afternoon, the deceased came into her father's house, and asked her how she did ? after she bad answered him, he went into the yard, and sat on a little stool. Joseph Stacey, aged about twenty years, and two other boys, named Terry (aged 14), and Crockford (aged 15), came along the alley ; Stacey asked the deceased to sing a song, but he refus ed; he pressed him still to sing, aid added that if he would not, he (Stacey) would dip him into a tub of water. The de ceased still refused ; upon which Stacey laid hold of the deceased, and dipped him into the tub; Stacey then took him out again, and the boys all run off, except the de. ceased, who was very wet about the shoulders and all over his head, Witness told the deceased to hasten home and get his clothes changed, and he went away. AU the boys had desired the deceased to sing. The tab was a large one, with a little water In it. Witnesiconld not say whether Terry or Crockford held the dwelled In the tub as well as Stacey. The deceased looked eery pale when he went away. This evidence was Corroborated by another resident of Matrimony-place. The mother of the deceased de posed, that on Monday night he complained of his head and stomach, and that on the following day he died . in convulsions. Two surgeons proved that the deceased had a ten-, dency to hydrocephalus, and was suhject to epilepsy. They were of opinion that the putting his head in the tub was the exciting cause of his death, by bringing on convulsions. After the Coroner had summed up the evidence, the Jury deliberated for a considerable time whether they should return a verdict against Stacey for manslaughter:i they were unanimous in their reprobation of Stacey's ' conduct, and expressedouch surprise that the deceased's betray POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. 3111 AIL.—Another birch if Wert was brought before the Ma* trues yesterday, fur offences against the New Bread Att, on th, information of that indefatigable infonnet, Johnson, without 14 44 able assistance, the said New Bread Act, and all the labeers or t a 4 Legislature therein, would have been so much good parchtem wasted, and labour expended in vain. The office was crowded with the year, fraternity.--all steel, and bubbling, and occasionally hissing, against poor Johnson, as a►, grily as KO many pots of pickled herrings against the torments du overheated oven. But Johnson, was as cool as a cucumber. The offence charged in the informations was the having sold bled under the denomination of " hay quarters forme," instead at weight, as required by the New Act—an offence which &Alm the seller to an hamitigable penalty of forty *killing upon each }at so sold ; but most of the informations failed, in corntequenee at their not having the words of the Act set forth in them correct* " If any baker shall sell, &c. any loaf, &e. under the descripticn denomination of, &c." saith the Act; but Master Johnson had Fr it in his informations, "description and denomination." Sir liwito an lIIIINIE held this substitution of the conjunction, ate junctive, for the conjunction disjunctive to be fatal; and the otko Magistrates on the Bench agreeing with him in this opinion, tto whole of the informations were dismissed—with the exception st two; in which two cases, the loaves sold were of such weight at ft come under the description of kay-quarlern loaves, and had also ben sold under that denuminatiun. In these two cases, the patties, Cady, in the Strand, and Moen, in Great Queen-street, were both convicted in the penalty of o h each, with costs; against whici conviction they both appealed ti the Quarter Sessions. Shortly after the Office had been cleared from the crowd inte. rested in this business, Johnson came back, claiming the protiotioe of the Magistrates for his witness, John Byers, against the violence of the bakers, who, he stated, were grossly ill-treating hint. Tile Magistrates immediately ordered the officers to rake any pon son into custody who should presume to ill-treat or intimidate elan the informer or his witness. . The officers went out, and in a few minutes they returned,brlng. ing in a stout journeyman baker, whom they found crying, " Go it! go it !" and endeavouring, by violent gestures and otherwise, to ix. cite a mob of operative bakers to assist him in putting the poor wit. ness into a flour sack ! The prisoner, who gave his name Charles Perry, had nothing to say in hi; defence, except a general iletii.d of the violence which was attributed to him. The Magistrates severely censured his conduct, and ordered bi a to find bail. . A young Malay Indian who, when called upon to give Ma name, said it was "Shok Brawn," was brought up by Dickens, on a charge of, felony. The prisoner, it appeared, was servant to a Captain Maxfield, who lodged in the house of a Mr. Wright, in Southampton-row, Bloomsbury. Two or three days ago he left the house, to ga to reside at the Pulteney-Hotel, in Albemarle-street. After be was gone, some articles of plate, several knives and forks, at{ some wearing-apparel were missed. Dickens went to the Puhaul and in the roam occupied there by the prisoner, he found seveial of the stolen articles. • The prisoner, when asked what he had' to say, slapped his fete, head with hit hand several times, and exclaimed—" I lay it all to mine bead ; I mad, spite mad, when I do so." The officer stated that Captain Maxfield told him he had dice vtred symptoms of insanity about the prisoner. Fully committed. G UILDH A L L. ltargaret Stewart, calling herself Lady Erskine's own maid, sal whose frauds among the dressmakers were detailed in our Pape of Saturday last, was brought up yesterday for final examinaties. No less than twenty females were in attendance to prefer charges ' against her, nearly all of a similar nature. Of the cases which od curred within the dry, that of 'Mrs. Penny, of Ely-place, appeared to furnish the strongest proofs. She swore her shawl was on the bed when the' prisoner was there, that she missed it immediately she was gone, and that no other person had access to the room. The prisoner, unlike her behaviour on the former occasion, was evidently during the whole exambletion striving to keep herself composed, but 23 the proofs thickened against her, her agitatina increased, and her ter !wan to now. 11:Kling hope fail her, del seemed to make a great effort to subtitle her agitation, and at length delivered herself in the following mat;licr :—" I confess much that lam charged with. I have done much to injure many of these good people; but I deny ever stealing. I am an unfortunate wo man, without any friends in the world. I have neither tithe, mother, sister, nor brother.

The prosecutor, a shepherd, in the employ of Mr. Passingham, at Heston, stated that he had a silver watch in his possession. On the 12th of July, at about eleven o'clock at night, he *as going home horn Hounslow. He had been spending the evening with some friends at a public-house at Hounslow, and on coming out to go home, he met the prisoner. He had known the prisoner slightly before this transaction. The prisoner asked him if he was going home? Witness answered in the affirm ative, and then his companion asked him if he had a watch about him? Witness was surprised at the ques tion, and asked why be put it? The prisoner readily an swered, " Because if you carry it with you, you will certainly be robbed or it." Witness was unwilling to part with it, but at length reluctantly gave it to him. On the Monday following witness went to the prisoner, and asked for his watch. The latter denied that he had his watch, or that he.had seen him at all on the pre ceding Saturday night. Witness never saw the watch again until early in August, when the prisoner was taken into custody. Cross-examined.--He was not intoxicated on the Right in question ; he was sometimes drunk, and on such oc casions frequently behaved most foolishly, throwing his money about, and other follies. T. Cook, a constable of Ileston, proved the appre . hension of the prisoner on a day early in August. The prisoner first denied that he had seen the prosecutor's watch, but afterwards admitted that he had sold it to a watch-maker of the name of Edmonds, living at Brent ford End. _ Edmonds prbduced the watch,' and proved that the prisoner sold the watch to him a day or two after the 11th of July. The prisoner called a few witnesses to character, who spoke highly of him as an honest and industrious man. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy, on account of his good character. Prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. James Sullivan, aged 18, and Anne Wheatley, aged 32, were indicted for stealing two plants, the property of George Smith. It appeared from the evidence, that the male prisoner was seen in the grounds of the prosecutor, who is a gar dener at Islington, and he was observed to hand over two plants in flower-pots to AnneWheatley. The prisoners were immediately apprehended by a watchman. The prosecutor stated, that one of the plants was a native of South America, and worth upwards of five guineas. Mr. Bodkin;Secretary to the Mendicity Society, was called as a witness for Anne Wheatley, but he merely deposed that he knew her to be a very accomplished woman, and respectably connected. The Jury found both prisoners Guilty. The RECORDER observed, that the Jury had returned a very right verdict. The woman, he knew, had been in custody before. It was true, as had been represented, that she possessed great accomplishments, but those did not prevent her from mixing with the very dregs of so ciety. It was necessary that she should leave the country, but he would not pass sentence at that time. The prisoners were then removed from the bar. PALACE COURT, SEPTEMBER 19. WRIGHT V. MOORE. • This was an action brought in forma pattperis, to re cover the balance of an account for washing and gar dening work. The plaintiff is a gardener, residing at Camberwell, and the defendant a gentleman of considerable property, also living at the same place. The plaintiff's wife washed several weeks for the defendant's family, which was large, and a demand of a guinea per week was made. The charge was considered reasonable by several witnesses, who had been accustomed to wash for families. The plaintiff and his brother had both been employed in the defendant's garden in June last, and their demand on that ()erasion was also deemed an equitable and fair one. The defendant had been summoned to a Court of Requests, but as the original charge exceeded £5, the case was dismissed without being heard. He, however, offered a sum of money to the plaintiff about the same time, which the latter de clined taking, alleging that he was entitled to the full amount. This being refused, the present action was brought.—The Jury consulted half an hour, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 21. 19s. The Session at Clerkenwell ended yesterday, when Thomas Cato and Joseph Ices, who had been convicted of assaulting and ill-treating Thomas Francis and John Brundley, two of the Bow-street Patrol, near Highbury Terrace, at a late hour at night, when in the execution of their duty, were sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for three months each. It has been determined, in a meeting of the inhabi tants of Plymouth Dock, held on Monday last, that the town shall in future be called Devon-port.
