INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COL; LIT..-1S AT Li ADAv.) James John Jones ass opposed by Mr. Pot.t.oct for Con tad Hammer. The insolvent stated that he was a hatter and hosier, but never followed any business since he was out of his apprenticeship about four years ego. His balance sheet stated three hundred pounds travelling expenses, and there was a debt in his schedule of thirty six pounds for jewellery. He was not married, but did not travel alone. His father left him by will one thousand pounds, three per cent. stock, which he received when he came of age, end spent in two years. lie was also entitled to a reversion of two thousand pounds, in the three per cents. on the death of his mother, but being very wild in his younger days, he sold his reversion, to re.ieve his itistresses,•for about seven hundred pounds. In July he went to liatlt and Bristol; on a party of pleasure, with Mr. Hammer, and borrowed from him there about 111, for which he gave a b.II for la/. Mr. Hammer stated, that he became acquainted with the insolvent 011ie course of the last year, when the insolvent told him he had 200/. a year. In the month of June the insol vent and witness went together to Bristol. The insolvent had a lady with hilt, whom witness believed to be his wife. While Bristol the insolvent's trunks were stopped at his hotel for the amount of pis bill, on which occasion he applied to wit ness for a loan of money, saying he had 701. in the ifands of Mr. Barnsley in London, in consequence of which the witness lent him 11/. and took his bill for lb/. intending to give the re mainder, but in consequence of something he heard refuse.' to eve any more. The Insolvent proceeded to 'outline Mr. Hammer respect• ing tl e manner in wl.ich be had obtained the money he lent hint; but the Court would not allow the questions to be answered. The Insolvent admitted that at the time he borrowed the money from Mr. Hammer, Mr. Barnsley hst,l but five pounds in his hands belonging to him. It appeared, en further exa mination of the Insolvent, that he had omitted many creditors for smell sums, who had said they would never trouble hlm. The ('oust said the . case must stand over, to have all those creditors put in his schedule ; hut the Court would not remand him a moment on Mr. Hammer's opposition. POl.lt'F. Cr•rt.nrt.tt.r..—On Saturday Mr. John oodard, who was brought h. re on Thursday last, charged by Mr. Dickinson, of Lad bane, with obtaining Irom him goods under false pretence', was brought before the Niagistrate for final examination. The cv, anion of the Magistrate and of the Chief Clerk, was, that the case Nil out sufficiently proved, and that part of the goods were delivered natio( the City. The Magistrate, therefore, gave it as his opinion, thAt he could rut, under the circumstances of the case. detain .Ir. lloodard any longer. Mr. Dickinson, on consulting his legal adviser, thought proper to withdraw the charge. The Magistrate said that Mr. Goodard had been too cunning for them; but in future they should be more c;.silions. There were several persons in the office who bad rt aegis against the prisoner—one gencleman for a WI of 1301. 1411. lie stated that Mr. Doodard came to him, and said be was in the habit of getting bills discounted ; te gave Mr. Goodard the hill, which he has never seen since, and which Mr. Goodard said he had been robbed of. As the transaction took ;Aare ont of the city, the Magistrate could take no cog eixance of it. For similar reasons some other charges eaglet not be preferred. 'the prisoner was then discharged, but on reaching the °leer room hr was apprehended by one of the officers from Whiticross Street prison. Ate occurrence of which Mr. I toodard was very well aware of, as upon being discharged, he adders...4l some gentlemen In the room, and said," Geo. dew n, I am sore yon have some one waiting for me in the oiker loom " Mr. (toodard was then taken to the Whitecress Street pri.on.

MARLRGROUGO .STBSIT.--.DRTECTION OP A BURGLAR. —Saturday, an athletic man, of about twenty-five years of age, named William Davis, was brought up from St. Giles's watch house, charged with burelationsly entering the pre mises of Messrs. Keasley, saddlers,.&.c.. to the Hononrable East India Company, Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn fields. It appeared from the evidence of John Well spring, a workman of the prosecutors, stated that be bad occasion to go very early yesterday morning to finish some work that was very much wanted. On letting himself into the counting house, his sus picions were excited by seeing a pail of shoes behind the door, and he carefully inspected the counting house. He observed the prisoner standing, as if watching. When be perceived that he was noticed, he fu riously sprang upon the witness, and struck him several violent blows on the head and face, which the witness returned as quickly as be could. They struggled both in the counting-house and the passage, and the prisoner contrived to escape into the street; hut in rnnning he encountered a gentleman, who was a little intoxicated, and they both fell down. The witness never lost sight of the prisoner ; and a watchman and patrole being alarmed by the cries of " Stop thief," came up, and took him into custody. He had no shoes on then, and when conveyed to, Messrs. Keasley's counting-house, he asked for the shoes there, and claimed them as his own. When he was searched, there were found upon his person several skeleton keys, a small crow bar, phosphorus box, &c. The counting house desk had been broken open and ransacked, but it had not contained any money. The prisoner. was fully committed for trial. M ARYLRBONIL BURTON.—OG SURT• day William Henry lleynolds, the man who made the atrocious attack on the above General, at his residence in New Street, Dorset Square, on Thursday evening, under went another examination before Join Rawctssoal, Esq., the sitting Magistrate, at this office. This investigation excited the ;neatest interest; snot the office, long before the prisoner was brought in, presented an unusual appearance of military officers and gentlemen of distinction as spectators, who took their seats near the bench, where chairs had been placed for their accommoda tion. Amongst the military characters we noticed General Stanislans, Colonel Baker, .Bec. About half past 12 o'clock General Burton arrived, ac• companied by several friends. He took his seat at the table, near the Magistrate. At one o'clock the prisoner was put to the bar. lie apt peered extremely distressed and dejected. • Mr. Ilawctlesost, addressing the General, requested him to state the nature of this unfortuoate occurrence. General Napier Christie Burton being sworn, said— AM a Ueueral in his Majesty's service. On Thursday last Mrs. Reynolds, the wife of the prisoner, came to my house, at No. 2, New Street. Dorset Square, it might be about a quarter to four o'clock in the afternoon, and soon after five o'clock a knock came to the door, which was answered by my servant, who informed me that Mr. Rey nolds was at the door, and wished to speak to me. I im mediately ordered him to be admitted into the parlour. At the time of his entrance, I was sitting on the right side of the fire place, and Mrs. Reynolds on the opposite side of the table, situated between us. 1 then said 44 Will you allow me to hand you a glass of wine ?" He replied, Yes." I stood up to fill it from a decanter (there were both white and red wine on the table at the moment). At this time he-moved his chair nearer the table; I was in the act of presenting the glass to him, which was scarcely out of my baud when he fired a pistol, the hall fans which , struck me on the left side; it passed through my coat, and came out near the gap of the skirt, struck the frame of the fire-screen, penetrated the wall. anal fell near the fender. I considered at the moment it was not meant for me, hut for his wife being unconscious of him (time prisoner) hav ing the slightest animosity towards me, as I solemnly declare that I never bad any criminal intercourse, or ever took the slightest liberty with Mrs. Reynolds whatever; and so far from getting out of his way, I placed my hands on those of the prisoner, not for the purpose to grasp or hold him, hut said," For God's sake command your passion ! Don't it get the better of your reason ; consider what you are sheet :" and I endeavoured to sooth him. While my hands were so situated, the prisoner contrived to disentangle one of his heads. I was then standing with my right side to. weeds him, when he fired a second pistol which struck my right side, and paascd-abrough my most, waistcoat, shirt, flannel waistcoat, and kneed the skin of my rib.— (Here the General showed the direction the ball had taken, he having the same clothes cis ache had at the tune, and which he was requested by Morris, tire °dicer, to wear on this examination) The cause of my not being mortally wounded, was my being so close; lie could not take so direct an alines if I bad been farther distant I then said. " Reynolds, you have wounded me ;" to which he imoinedi, &tidy replied, "l am !gird of it." • I then said *to him, " Were the pistols loaded with ball ?" He answered, " Yes, they were," and that he had bought them time day 'before yesterday (Tuesday) in Norton Falcate." I said, " Do you know whom you bought them of ?" He replied," No;" and observed. " I am happy—my mind is quite easy."— These words he repeated several times over. I then again asked him if they were loaded with ball. He answered " Yes ; I hope they are iu you; I hope 1 have done your business." I then said to him, " Was it the second ball that wounded me ?" He replied," No, you are mistaken : it was the first, for I took very good aim ; I hope the balls are in you ; lam happy now." He then put his hand into his pocket, and pulled out several balls, which he put into the snuffers tray. In a few minutes after he pull ed out another ball,which he rolled on the table. I took it up &placed it with the others.Mrsßeynolds,wife of the prisoner herejutoped upto ring th b-11, and came towards me, consi dering I was falling, and said she could not find he bell string. She then opened the door, and was about to call, when the cook and. footman came in. The cook said to the lady, "He bra shot my master." I said " Cook, lam shot." She replied " I hope not. Sir." The candles were both out at this time, which I suppose was occasioned by the explosion of the pistols. I then ordered my footman to go for Mr. Locke, a surgeon, who came instantaneously. btr. Locke wasted to ezamlue me immediately. I said, "Stop a minutes" and again asked the prisoner whether the pistol* were loaded with ball. I believe his reply was, 4' I hope they are in your guts or bowels." This he.re. pealed two or three times, adding he was happy—be was noratip. Mr.'faCite, who MIS then i• time room, requested further aasistanee, and the lad was dispatched fur Mr Brodie and Dr. Heaviside. In a very short time after the former gentleman arrived. Time balls at this period were not found. The watchman was called in by my.foot Man. and remained in the parlour by the side of the p• soner. I there saw the pistols I but whether be Or ;hem down or not, I cameo% take npon myself to s a y. also oftered mse theihmeola. Mr. Brodie then examined and probed spy . tide, and said." General,. yams have im a L *mow escape., and it is highly requisite the balls show be found." A search was immediately made, when • was found near the lendir, irhieh Ind passed through frame of the fire screen, hit the wall, and fell to the grow My footman picked it.up ; k waapaitly covered with more. , Mr. 'Brodie ,and - Mr..Lorke retired up oaks to .aossiik respecting 'my wrinod, and in &tient 'half an hour they, returned main,. when lir.,iliodie.said to mt. "You are in very goad Lauda; these of; Mr.. 'bet if I aquested i't, to mad *lira.

I was then conscious it had not entered my side. It was taken from my trowsers veer my knee,. where it had drooped, Turning- towards Mr. Locke, I add, "I owe this min no animosity." On this observation, the prisoner took from his pocket a letter, saying, " Look at that." I did not read it. Mrs. Rey• wilds, the prisoner's wife, took up the letter, and put it in her pocket. I then said, " Where's that letter ?" When the prisoner, in a most contemptnous mauner, to his wife. said, " Oh! you have burnt it." She replied, " No, I have nor," and threw it on the table. I said to the prisoner's wife, " Will you give me leave to read it?" She answered, " Y•os ;" and, on my attempting to read it. the prisoner said, " You understand it well enough ; Oh you can't read it, can't you ?" Phis he uttered in a sneering manner. The letter was very dirty, mach rumpled, and not legible. he prisoner again sneered, and insinuated that I knew the contents of the letter. Here the letter was produced, and read by Mr. Thomas 3lallett. It was of the following pnrport •• December, 31, 1823. " Sir,—There is scarce a newspaper comes out of the press but somebody's wife has left them, kc. It always happens without any provocation. Now it &es not stand to reason, that •o many wo.nen could leave their hones for no thine.The truth is,the men are such brutesahat it isquite im possible for to live with them. 'fete n, where there is one tole rable good man, there is five hundred pasty, beastly, drunken gambling wretches, who neither care for wife or family, so long asalley get their own g'uts filled ; and I do not in the least doubt but that you are one them, or your wife would not have gone off." The letter was directed to " Mr. Reynolds, N 0.2, Little Peter Street, Snn Street, Itishopsg,ate." • 'The General here observed, that the prisoner accused him as being the author of this document ; and stid, 1 do most solemnly declare I know nothing whatever, of the letter ; and upon my honour, I never took the least liberty with the wife of the prisoner during my life ; but I have served her family most essentially. In the parlour, and in the presence of several persons, 1 asked the prisoner's wife if I had ever acted improper; to which she hastily said " No ;" but observed "Yon have been kind to my father and mother." I then said, "1 will have nothing more to do with you," and sent her away in a coach. Cross-examined by Mr. Butler, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, for Mr. Harmer. Mr. BrrLen—Pray, General Burton, how often of late years have you seen Mrs. Reynolds ? General Burton.-1 believe 1 never saw her more than five or six times at the utmost, since she was two years of age ; 1 believe she was twice at my country house at High gate, and about four titnas at my town residence. The prisoner did say I IVPS the greatest serpent that ever lived, and that I had stung him in the most vital part ; to which I replied, " It is false ; I never injured you in my life." General Horton here stated the reason of Mn. Reynolds's calling upon him. Her father, who was formerly an odicer in the army, and abroad with him in the %Vest Indies, was assassinated there, in consequence of which he interested himself for his (deceased's) widow, Mrs. Medley ; and by perseverance obtained for her, since the year 1310, a pen sion of3o/. per annum ; for her daughter, now the wife of the prisoner, he had also procured a pension of 8/. per annum, from the Compassionate List at the War Office, which she had received upwards of eight years. He had not seen her for some years till of late, when she introduced herself to him as Mrs. Medley ; lie said, " No, that cannot be ;" she replied, she was her daughter. lie did notknow her, nor should he, but from the certificate she produced.— Her motive for calling upon him, was to request that he (General Burton) would use his interest for her. She told him that she thought of marrying, but if she did, the pen• sine would not be allowed. He observed, "It certainly will not, if you marry ;" and advised her to consider well of it. She subsequently confessed that she was married, and observed also, that if he (General Burton) could get the pension allowed her, it would be of infinite service, and buy her clothes. This was the motive, the General declared, of her visits to him. He understood since, the had been married five years, and had also another husband living. Mr. James Locke, an eminent surgeon, of No. 13, Upper Baker Street, New Road, was next examined ; but this gentleman's evidence was precisely the same as reported in our paper of Saturday last. Winifred Heare, cook to General Burton, deposed, that she heard the report of a pistol, and immediately another.; she ran up stairs to the parlour door, and on going in saw the General standing by the table ; he said " rook, I am shot ;" witness replied, " I hope not, Sir." The candles were out; witness lighted one; the footman bad gone for the watch. On her master again repeating he was shot, be pointed to the prisoner, who replied he had done it, and was happy. The General then asked the prisoner if they were loaded ? he answered" Yes ;" and that he had bought them in Norton•faigate, and that he cut the bullets the day before yesterday. The prisoner repeated ,the words of being happy, and said, pointing to the General, " That is the serpent that has stung me!" General Burton.—Did yon not bear the prisoner more than once say be was happy he bad done it?—Yes. William lunge, footman to the General, stated that a little after five o'clock he heard the report of a pistol, and immediately another; be ran no stairs, opened the street door, and called the watch. When the witness and watch man entered the room, the General was leaning his hands on the table. He (the General) said, " William, I on shot ;" and desired me to go for Mr. Locke. The candlei were at this time out. The prisoner laid down the pistols, saving that be had no further use for the n; he bad done it, and was happy ; and also saying that was the serpent (point ing to the General) that had stung him to the heart. The General then begged of the prisoner to be candid whether there were balls in the pistols. The prisoner replied, " Yes," which he had cast the day before for the purpose Witness found oat one of the balls a few inches (rota the wall, which he gave to Mr. Locke; there was some white on it. Recollects the General asking the wife of the prison er whether lie bad ever taken any improper liberties with her; she replied " No." The General asked her again, and told her to speak out before all present, if be ever had ; she again replied." No," and remarked, You have beck a friend to my father, mother, and family." Andrew Hawkln, the watchman, being called, bit, evidence was not material; be merely proved taking the prisoner into castody. • . Michael Morris, an officer of the establishmeat, stated. that in consequence of the order he received from John, Rawdnson, Esq. he proceeded to the.hoese of Mr. Locke,. and received the two pistols, a pistol key, utd!sig.bailets. He also re aired to the (knurl's In aotopiny Locke, and received a ball, which he found t bi4. pawed. •of die fil and „atriclt aka 1 . titer wall, and w ' A bout -' 2alUla It appeared that broker, residing at Chelsea. ivss (mod. tr up near the Ban House,in Grosvenor Itnatt, wit it he im. t the serjeant, who, without any provocotion or Atrree,„„ , struck hint and cansed him to stagger again,' the %tali.

SATU RDA ir.—Yexterday an elil..rly woman, named Margaree theyne, in tne service of Captain Bishop, who resides at Rothertaithe, was brouilit b•tore thesitting Magi-trate, charged with having rehh.d hint of a quantity of property. Titers was another charge pref.rrea ag ainst her, of having administered a poison calle4 Caatliari lea, to several of the Captain's servants. The prisoner was brought up by a city offieer.—Captain Bishop, it was mentioned, was unable to ai'end frbin ill ness. Mts. Bishop stated that the prisoner lived in her family as servant of all work since last April. For aurae time past various articles of property were missed, an l suspicion at length rested on the prisoner. An officer was procured, who on searching her lour I the dapheates of several articles which had been pledged by her at a pawn broker's, and which Mrs. Bish.ip stated to be her property. The duplicates were produced to the Magistr .t , ., and thi: charge was entered against the prisoner. Mrs. Bishop then said, that she had another charge, of a very serious nature, against the prisoner, which she would prove to the sati-fac lion of the Magistrate. Her husband, herself, and several of their children, were now suffering from the effect, of a poison, which she said was administered to them by the prisoner. Upon searching her boa for some of the stolen property. a paper parcel containing a quantity of cantharides was found by the oilier; and the in stant she (Mrs. Bishop) beheld it, she wis convinced that a portion of the drug had been administered to them by the prisoner, which at once accounted for their long illness. Tne Magistrate enquired what proof she had of the cantbarides having been administered to ber family by the prisoner, who might have had it in her box for other par • poses. Mrs. Bishop said, that on several occasions since the prisoner was in their service, joints of meat were brought up to table, which she and the Captain observed, had s nor thing resembling black pepper badly 'mantled, under the: skin of the meat. A short time since a shoal ler of veil which was roasted, was served up, and a quantity of this ingredient was found hidden wherever a place presented, bat they kid no conception at the time it ass any thing but what she before alto led to. Her family were now afflict ed with illness, and sbe waspositive it wormiest from the causes ab•ve mentioned. The Magistrate observed, that he had some doubts whether cantbarilles acted as poison. Mrs. Bishop said, that she had ascertained of several chemists that cantharides was a poison, and th t they always kept it labelled " poison," and sold it as such.
