INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COUNT. jowl' , CONCEALMENT OF 'PROPERTY. Vition litena was opposed by Messrs. A DOL• PINS and HISATII, for several creditors, and ou se veral grounds. Mr. MATH said that the Insolvent described himself itt his schedule as Tyson Keene, late •of l'ursus Cross, mar Fulham, coal-dealer, and hereto. Yore rimmed victualler in that parish. NOV. the taiiistrol Counsel said, he meant to contend that tho'lissolvent was at the protest moment as Much •a liosessed victualler as be ever was, and as cum• pletely in the possession of the property which he yet said belonged to Sarah Keene, the widow of his brother. There was, however, another deception, which he apprehended would go, its limbos, to pre. vent the tioolvesit's case being further heard, and that was this:—lsis deists were set down at 1,304/. and his assets at 4691.; but he had thought proper to include anon . % the latter a sum of 1741. due to him by a Mr. Morvey, of Turks-row, Chelsea. Now it could be proved that this debt way in fact due to th e lipaitreist's father, and paid to him by a com position some time ego—the insertion of it now was, therefore, a gross deception on the Court and his creditors. Mr. David Shatter was called to prove this fact. Ile said he was a solicitor, and had been employed by Mr. Morvey, of Chelsea, who had been dead same time. He had also I:eeti employed by the widow in the settlement of her busbandie alfeirs. He lied paid the liusolvent's father, at the public house at Porous Cruse, at one time a divideud of 3s. in the immid. out of this debt of 1741. and a further dividend of 31. Ail. had, since the death of the father, been paid to the lintolvent himself, as a settlement of ii,is debt. Morvey was dead about three years and a hall. Saral. Keene was nest called. She appeared to be what is commonly called " a bouncing" lady, whose toddy couutenance was tree front the fur roughs of scowl: Mr. ADOLPHIIIa--. 14 Who are you, Madam ?" Witisess—" A woman." Q. " 0 ! I see that; but which are yon, maid, wife, or widow ?"—A. " Widow." The lady then proceeded to state, that she hod been married to the Insolvent's brother, William Keene, who died us, the ttetli May, 1812. His father died soon after. She now resided at the Wheiibilieuf public-house, or inn, at Pursue Cross, near Fulham. The lusolvent's father kept it till his death. Wittiest+ kept it now, and nobody else. After the death *of old Keene, his widow kept it, but witness could out say how long. She is still olive. The prevent Insolvent kept the house after Iris mother, by her consent, he being better (ra tified to manage the business than she was. fhe license was transferred to him for that purpose. In his own right lie had 110 claim whatever to the house. His mother always appeared there as mistress. IVitsiess herself never lived there as mistress at that time, but resided at her own house in the toots of Fulham. About twelve months ago, or it might be something more, witness went into possersion of the house, and did not know where the lissolveet lived at the time. Ttueusan and Hatibury were the original owners of the house ; and she riohev thought they gave her a lease, but she hod Tot brought it with her. 'f he Cover—" Who paid for this lease ?" Witistsa—" I did, with money 1 got from my friends." She then mentioned the name of the attorney who drew this lease. She paid for it to Richard Keene. another brother. The Insolvent never had any thing to do with the matter, though he liver' there with his mother and brother ; he never paid or received any money there as men of the house. Mr. ADOLPUUS" What is the age of your last child ?"—A. I have a child thirteen years old." Q. " I don't mean your eldest, but your youngest *laughter, Mary."—A. " I wol f auswer that ques. bon." Q. " Well, where was it horn ; you can have no ohjection to tell that ?"—A. " In the parish of Fulham." Q. " Iss the public-house ?"—A. " No, at my own house in the town." Q. " Is it true that you lived in the public house with the liisolveut as units and wife ?"— A. " Never." • She then mid that the lease of the public house was in the hands of her grandfather, Mr. A Idio, of North End, merely for safe custody ; he bad no claim whatever upon it; *he was appraised into the house at 3004 She never talked about selling it to one Thus. Sumter. It was rebuilt, but not since she hail it ; the Insolvent had nothing to do with the re building, and could have paid none of the hills. Q. " Now tell us when it was rebuilt ; war it since the birth of your youngest child ? You know wiliness always date by such matters." Mr. l'ov.Luce—'• I thought it was by the eldest they generally counted." Witness admitted that her youngest child was about rotor years old ; it might be inure. Her bus. band died its May, li4i2. Its tlllsverr to questions from the Court, she said that the license for the public-house had been granted or transferred to her less than two years ago. She knew the Insolvent, but he never had the house. The spirits were had from Mr. Baker ; she never dealt with Seeley and Evans for spirits, nor with Godin or Blake. of Parson's Green (creditors named in the schedule). The Insolvent never dealt with them to her knowledge. She did not know the Insolvent's business, or that he ever occupied Any other public-house. In her crom-examination by Mr. Por.Loce, she 'repeated that the Insolvent had 'HAWN; to du with the house at Pursue Cross. All the family, in cluding the Insolvent, quitted it when she got pos session. The Insolvent had no part in the contract 'she made, when the house was given to her. He merely acted there in the time of the father and loather. The COURT—" Admitting that he . acted as such, 'hoer have these debts, amounting to 1,3001., many of them for ale, spirits, and beer, been contract ed by the Insolvent ? the evidence of this woman be it true or false, makes alike against him." Mr. Poi.Locs replied, that he would shortly re move this impression from the mind of the Court. The w i liness, in 'her further examination, admitted that the Insolvent entered the house much about the time that she took possession of it. Q.—" Are you married to him ?"—A. " Yes." Mr. PoLLoost, as she was uttering this mono eyllable, objected to her answering the question. — He obs erved. that she had slimly said she was the widow of William Keene, the Insolvent's late bro ther—amid could not, therefore, he called upon to answer a question which 'nigh; expose her to pe nalittihrs in the Ereldieisatiriel rntart. COURT—" Certainly she ought not. It is also ate 'offence at common law." Mr. ADOLPHUS dissented from this opinion of the Court, and said, that neither in the Levitical Table, uor in the Statute of Henry, relative to the ties of consanguinity, was there any legal penalty for the admission sought for front this witness. The "reason why a witness could not be called upon to answer certain questions was, that he should not by so answering subject himself to some criminal pe nalty. But since the trial of Lord Melville, and the Statute made iu consequence of it, it has been held that nothing except that which would expose the party to a statutable or continuo law prosecu tion can warrant a refusel to answer certain ques tions. The Act of the 531 of the King, put on end to the penalty alluded to by the Court, and ecclesiastical censure could uo longer have active operation whist au individual. Marriage was now a civil contract, and not a sacramental act as it had been in former Catholic times, and the uuly jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Court (which was most happily cut dorm and circumscribed in mo dern times) merely extended to a nullity of the marriage, and not to a personal punishment of the parties. The woman was, of course, subject to ec clesiastical censure, and a nullity of the contract for marrying within the prohibited degrees; but this censure now-a-days was very properly described sa being nothing more than a broom felmien. It ex posed nobody to a legal prosecution. amid, there fore, afforded no reason for refusing to answer a question. , Mr. PoLLocx, in reply, said. that he well re membered the present LOrd Erskine, when at the Bar, earnestly pressing to put a question of this sort before Justice Lewrence, at Guildhall ; but the Judge would not allow hint to do so, a n d quoted Chief Justice Treby, in support of his de cision. The same had since been held in the Court of King's Bench, where it was ruled that a wit ness was not bound to answer any question which would have the effect of discrediting or disgracing himself. This had been also held in the House of Lords. _ The COURT was quite of °Militia that the ques tion could not be put. Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that he would put his question (which by the way had already been an swered) in *wither way. The witness then, in an swer to his questiNt, said, that she had never been church and married, since her former marriage with the Insolvent's brother. The Court then examined her as to any know ledge of Morvey's debt, whets she said, that she knew nothing about it except having hoard it said iu the family. Richard Keene was the executor with the mother, wider the rither's will. TyKiii had nothing to do with the property. John Beech was called to speak to some conver sation he had with the last witness, but— Mr. POLLOCK objected to the rippia.ite Counsel, being allowed to adduce evidence to cuutrsdict their own witnesses. _ . The Court overruled the objection. John Beech stated in his examination that Sarah Keene and the Insolvent lived together as man and wife Since the death of old Keene, about two years ago, and the Insolvent admitted to wituessi, in the presence of Mr. Tebbe. the Proctor, at Doctor.' Commies, that he was married to her. They both lived as master and mistress at the public-house at Pursue Cross. In his cross-examination by Mr. ANDREWS, he said that the way he Itite.v dila was by ocessiostally calling at the house for money. Sarah Keene was in witness's debt, stud the admiiitiots of the marriage was to give the responsibility to the Insolvent. In the house at Fulham, where Sarah Keesie first lived, and where the Involvetit now, in Ins schedule, re presented himself to live also. the name over the door was, 41 Keene, coal-dealer." Henry Partridge was next called. This gentle man proved that while standing near the lusolvent in Court, when the question was pill to Sarah Keene, whether she was now married to Tyson Keene, he distinctly overheard the latter desire her to answer " No." Thomas Souster, a publican, proved, that he had gone to the King's Bench to treat with the fowl vent fur the purchase of this house at Pursue Cross, and that Sarah Keene was present when be asked 800/. for it. The COURT — " What a horrid case this is; there is no necessity to pursue it further." Mr. ADOLPHUS—" Mr. Pollock, have you got enough of this case ? you are quite a glutton to day." After some immaterial discussion between the Counsel in the case, The COURT remanded Prisoner for a conceal ment of property. void svas proceeding to make the remand still stronger, on the ground of ptetnedi tated fraud in the mattcr of the 1744 put in as a debt due by Money to the insolvent, who knew it to have been already settled, when Mr. Poi. Lock interposed. and said that the book debts were left by the father to the Insolvent, whu seeing it unsettled in the list of debts. thought it right to insert it in his schedule. the Insolvent, Mr. ADOLPH Us observed, that the debts d u e by though he said !w bad nothing to do with the public house, were all fur the bee r en g ine put up i ii it, and the spirits. ale, and beer sold in it. if he came up sgaiu they would have hint re manded for fraud. Mr. HEATII mid, that the opposition would he withilniwn, if the Insolvent surrendered the lease. The remand was then recorded for concealment of property. A DISCHARGE REVOKED. Mr. Hearts applied to the Court to have a rule 'he had already obtained made absolute, that the discharge granted Wan Insolvent, named Richard Swayne, last August, should be revoked, on an af fidat. setting forth, that he had concealed from his creditors the property he held in a farm at Chert sey, in the county of Surrey, where lie now con tinued to reside. The affidavit also stated, that the Insolvent kept a riding-horse, which lie had not inierted in his schedule, and on which he was iii the habit of riding down to Chertsey, while he was a prisoner, by means of procuring day-rules; and that oil one of these occasions he had dined at a tavern at Egham at a subscription feast given by the corps of cavalry to which lie belonged ; and further, that since his discharge he had paid 31. 10s. r— opt t isg givt.soc, sW also Kept sporting dogs for his amusement. Mr. Anot.enus, at considerable length, opposed the rule, and answered the several points set forth in the affidavit; he read the Insolvent's affi davit, from which it appeared that the farm in question, and all its chattels, utensils, stock, &c. had been disposed of by him by mortgage, dated Nov. 2, 1809, and fur a consideration of WM/. (wanting a fraction) to a relative named Mary Edmeads, who hail since married Thomas Sprootots. A warrant of attorney was given at the time, and judgment immediately entered upon it. Sprotsou took possession of the farm in February 1816, and though the Insolvent remained on it (it appeared others were also put in possession), he merely did so in the character of manager for .Sprotson, to whom he regularly accounted for that produce. The horse alluded to was merely kept for husbandry purpooes ; the license was given him by a friend ; undue to the dinner-party, it was at a pri vate house, where he had been invited by his fel low members of the corps, at no expense. The affidavit further stated, that so far from this trans fer being made to cheat his creditors, it had ac tually taken place years before their debts had existence. Mr. HEATH, in reply, contended that the fact of no possession being taken front 1809 to 1816, skewed that the transfer was merely collusive. The Court revoked the discharge, being clearly of opinion that wine further inquiry was necessary into this property. The Court then adjourned until the 9th of Fe bruary. CORONAWS INQUEST. DEPLORABLE CASE. •On Saturday night, an laquitiition was taken at the sign of the Apple-tree, White Hart-yard, St. Mury-lc•Strattd, before Howl Law's, Esq. ou the corpse of John Connor. Oa the Court being opened, a Quitman, who raid he lives in the Strand, staled to the Coroner, that io comic queues of a report that the deceased was malty slid a n d turned oat of a notorious brothel, kept b% Mrs. Hates, 33, White Hart-yard, be made personal inquiry respecting him ; he fun:::1 that he had lodged at the house of a milk•mast, named Crevy, in Wildmlreet, be hail been formerly in re spectable circumstances, but his wife having died, leaving him with a large family of children, he was reduced; three of his daughters unfortunately became prostitutes, two of them are now under sentence of death in Newgate, sad the other is harboured in the house of Mrs. Batts, where the poor man died ; he was 52 years of age. The Coroner told the Jury, that, under these circum stances, it was a came which required their particular atten tion. Their first duty was to take a view of tie body, and observe if these were any external marks of violence there upon. The Jury viewed the body, which was laid ow a Vible in soother room in the house, it was vile reducid and rata tinted, but there west' nu octet nal marks of violence upon it. Having returned to the Jury-room, the following evideuce was adduced : Mr. John Denham, No. 11, Bartluilumew.close, parasol and umbrella-maker, deposed, that at seven o'clock an Fri day sight, he was going lop Drury-lane, and saw the deceased fall upon the pavement at the end of Clare-court ; lie assist ed him in getting up ;he was very weak. a n d apparently deprived of utterance. A mob collected, amongst whom was a young woman, who said the deceased's daughter lodged at Mrs. Ratew's boom, Nu. 35, White Hart-yard ; hr was ac cordingly carried them but Mrs. Bates refused to take him in. At the suggestion of witness, Doctor Stanton, of the Straad, was seat fur, wbu came as moo as possible, but the deceased expired before his arrival. Elisabeth Scofield, servant to Mrs. Bates, was examined. She said he wee know. there, sad that his daughter lodged iu the home. She did not know whether he had taken any food since Tuesday, except one basin of gruel. The deceased's daueiter, who lodged in Mrs. flates'a homer, said Mrs. Hates refused him being take° into her roam. She admitted being a prostitute, only &littera years old; her sister, who it only tinirlren, is also upon the town. The deceased did ant encourage them, but on the coulrary, he often mid they broke his heart. The COROIIIIa addressed ibis girl in very affikiing terms, and the Jury returned their verilicto—Died by the visitation .f God. There was a good supply of corn at Alresford market on Thursday, and salts were heavy, but, iu general, prices may he considered nominal. At Devizes, same day, prices were lower : 73l wicks of Wheat sold at I. Is. 5.1. average. On Thursday morniseg, about six o'clock, a lire was discovered at 11Ir. J. S. Hou.ts'a, ut Tanislslay Farm, [lint►, which was found to proceed from a rick of barley, and, notwithstanding every eseition was used, the rick was entirely commuted : fortu nately it was at some distance from the rick-yard, and the Nantes did not reach those. Fiona every inquiry that has been made as to the cause of the fire, there is no doubt but it was the act of some diabolical incetwhaly : person wa• seen near the spot a very little time before the lire broke out, and soon afterwards was tern running very fast wider a hedge, at another part of the farm► ; lie was called to, but would slot answer the person who saw him there, and who, at that tune, knew nothing of the tire. Vii#-11a-y POLICE. BO -STREET. 'ARY CHARGE. On Saturday a gentlensan who stated his name to be Milner, who engaged in mercantile business, attended sot the Oder, to make • complaint against Perry, one of the runductors of the patrole, snd who hiss filled that °nice highly respectably to himself, in all the transactions he has been engaged in. The nature of the charge was, that Perry had turned him out of the Royal Exchange, as being one of the notorious Wheelers, of which there were four men, bro. then, who were all notorious thieves, and they had a sister who was equally so, and who cohabited with another 'hit f. Mr. Milner was represented as being one of the Whirlers who bad lately returned from transportation, and, as suet., au insnmper man to Ins on the Royal Exchanze ; it was ad. milled that Mr. Milner very much resembled the Wheelers, by those who knew them. Perry having by chance heard that Mr. Milner intended to attend at the Office to exhibit a complaint against hint, made a point of being present to meet it, and Mr. Milner having stated that Perry had turned him out of the Royal Exchange, charging him with being one of the 110111auus Wheelers that had lately returned from trasispoitis. lion, and as such he could nut remain on the Stock Exchange. On his calling on Perry, to say who had pointed him oat as such a character, he said it was Mr. Leybouru, a gentleman well known in the City. On his ap. plying to Mr. Leybourn, he denied that he bad pointed him out as one of the Wheelers. lie had applied In the Lord Mayor, in consequence of the gross insult whidi he had experienced ; but his Lordship did not afford him any relief. Perry, in answer, and in justification of his fort, stated, that lie had been in attendance some days at the Bank, to protect the public, who went to receive their divi dends, from being rubbed of them, in the room Of Mr. Townsend the officer, in consequence of his absence from London, being in attendance upon the Prince Regent, -• w.yks•.... when a gentletuan came to him who he knew well by eight but .h 4 not know his nam e , and informed him Mr. Leybourn had told him that one of the Wheelers was on the Royal Exchange, and requested Perry to go and turn him out. Perry at first declined inter fering, assigning ass reason that he was merely employed by the Bank to attend there, and he had no power in the City, ■nd declined having any thing to do with it ; however, this Gentleman insisted that 1w should, and charged hint w.th ■ dereliction of his duty, and threatened to complain aziiisst him if he did nut, which induced him at length to comply., and when be got to the Royal Exchange, Mr. Milner resem bled the Wheelers so much, that he mistook him Cur tune of them, which was the cause of his acting as he had dune. Mr. HICKS, the Magistrate before whom the complaint was brought, lamented what had happened to Mr. Milner, but under the circumstances he did not see bow Perry could have acted otherwise. He bad no doubt but Petry would endeavour to find font the gentleman who had given him the information, and would account for the mistake. ROBBERIES AT COVENT4ARDEN THEATRE. During the lust three or four ks there have been a otimber of robberies committed st C.ovent.Gardeu Theatre, and is the avenues leading to the doors at the lime of their opening, particularly in the Pit passage, where a number of peanuts have hail their clothes anal pocket* cut, both males and females, to get at their contents. The Managers, and Donaldson the principal constable at the Theatre, have been exerting tiresomely/es to detect the rubbers, but in vain, till Saturday evening. ' Some extra constables were en K ai to assist Donaldson, who knew the pennons of suspicift rseten, but they could not discover any, either in Ile avenues, or in any part of the Theatre. Donaldson, however, planned &scheme to detect them, and to guard against him and his assistants being known, he procured a snit of very splendid livery, and dressed Thomas Rice, one of the Monde, Woo l :- tug to she Office in it, and he gut among the thickest of the crowd in the Pit avenue ; lie went on with the crowd when the doors opened, and just as he got opposite to Slur Pay Unice, he found a great pressure fiiim behind him, and im mediately felt something at his breeches pocket ; lie pot his band to his pocket, mid found a hand in it, 11111C11 he seised, and held it till he grasped the person by the collar, vibe proved to br • buy, and said his mime was Nonlife: Stanton, who was not known before. Rice gave this boy into the custody of frownseuil, soother constable, and ap prehended Joseph Harnett, another buy, who hail been seen in company with Shantou, in the Pit passage, from whose manner and conduct he was deemed a suspicious character. Thomas Armsden, another constable, stated, that he ob served the Prisoner among the crowd at the Pit door, press ing against the people aif its a hurry in g.l in. He picked up a pair of seissars and it wiser pencil ease uear the spot br re the Prisoner was. _ Mr. David Furford, of Ivy.latie, Mitten, a weaver, who was among the crowd going into the Theatre, attended the examination on Saturday, and slated, t h at he picked up a purse sod three keys close to the Prisoner, whirls he is sup. posed to have relibed some person of. The Prisoners were committed for further examination. a► --~~ DETAINING A FORGED ONE POUND NOTE. RY.T. .... - A case of much public interest occupied the attention of the Magistrate, no a summons by the Bank of England against Mr. Ranson, an milord engraver, for refusiug to deliver up a forged note under peculiar circumstances, of which the &nos , i;ig arc the particulars 'floe forged It. mite wan detained at the Bank, and it burred out that Mr. Ransoms had paid it to Mr. Milo:hence, Hule.in.the-Wall, Fleet-street; and on Mitchener summoning Mr. R. to the Court of Requests, fur the recovery of the amount of the note, Mr. Fish, one of the investigators of the Bank, produced it to the Chairman (Mr. Rogers) who handed it to the Defendant for his iospection, and he put it into bis pocket, and refused to deliver it up. Mr. Fish applied to the Chairman for the note to be restored to him, boot the Court declined ma►ing any order. Mr. Fish then demanded the mate of Mr. R. who asked him with much earntstoess if he had a family, ■nd he was replied to in the affirmative. The Defendant then walked out of the Court, with the forged note, and declared that be would shout any one who attempted to molest him. Mr. Mitchener proved that Mr. Ranson bad a pistol in lois band, and he saw him stoop down when in Court, as if to cock it, and be kept his eye close upon the Defendant's hands to prevent mischief. This testimony was in part corroborated by Holland, one of the Officers of the Court. This was the case stalest the Defendant, and Mr. West wood stated that lie had no further desire than that he should give top the note. Mr. Ranson—" Under what Act of Parliament du you claim possession of the note'" llagiatrste—* The gbth of Geo. 111. chap. 89, which states it in he felony, to hold possession of a forged mate without lawful excuse, which you now persist in, to the prejudice of the Bank" Defenslaut—" I live by my profession, and I cannot leave it to go from Omit to Court without ruin to my self, and nay object in keeping this note is by way of • beacon to me, to discover • forged note by comparison with good mica." Mr. Westwood—'t If all notes were made alike, but it is necessary to make alterations to frustrate the plans of fabricators." _ _ Mr. RasiWD here shored Mr. Fish three one pound notes which were declared good. " Then," replied the Defendant, " it is by comparing the bad notes with these that I can point wit wbe.e the forgery exists, which be did to Mr. Fish. Mr. R. cautioned, " I have written a letter to the I:overtures of the Bona on the subject, and I ant determined to pioelniin to the wood how the forgery is committed, and in g so, my head and heart dictates to me that I am in a right cause in causing a revolution in the Bank, and in forming the politic how to detect forgeries of Bank notes. Mr. tf••esiwl,«t—" The Batik will thank you or any other person fur any suggestion that would tend to prevent the circulation of forged notes, but if the public wc.e apprised of time means of &Archon it would tend to benefit the fabri cators of these nutcs, who would immediately change their pilaus."
