IUNTY COURTS BILL. Mr. S. WORTLEY wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the ionic Department, whether he would proceed with the County Courts Bill this session. Sir J. GRAHAM said the Bill had been delayed in consequence of the Debtor and Creditors' Bill being de tained so long in the House of Lords. Seeing on the order-book seven notices before going into Com mittee of Supply, and having regard also to measures of great importance, which were still in progress, he con fessed that he felt obliged to abandon the measure for the present session. In reply to a question from Mr. BODKIN, Sir J. GRAHAM said the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the trust property of Queensborough had completed their report, but in consequence of the time for giving notice having expired, it would be im possible to legislate on the subject during the present session. Mr. AINSWORTII said he had that morning re ceived a report of the evidence taken before the coroner at Bolton, in reference to the bursting of a steam-engine. No blame whatever appeared to attach to Mr. John Brooks, the owner of the mill, but there had been very great neglect on the part of one of his servants, against whom the jury had found a verdict of manslaughter. The Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill was read a third time. NEW POOR-LAW. The House then went into Committee on the Poor•law Amendment Bill. On clause 22 being proposed, Captain BERNAL moved an amendment to the effect that justices of the peace appointed under the Munici pal Act shall be, ex officio, members of the board of guardians. The Hon. Member said he did not intend to divide the House upon the subject if there was a strong feeling against him. He threw his opinion out more as a suggestion for consideration than with a desire to' cause trouble. Sir J. GRAHAM said he could not consent to adopt the suggestion which had been thrown out. After a few words from Captain Bernal, Mr. Christo pher, and Mr. Buck, the amendment was negatived with out a division. Mr. BORTHWICK moved another amendment, to the effect that every clergyman having the cure of souls within the parish should be an ex officio guardian. Sir J. GRAHAM objected to the amendment. Whea he considered the various duties the clergy had to per form, he thought their appointment as guardians would be inconsistent with their duties. Mr. B. COCHItANE said that in Scotland the money collected for the poor was distributed through the hands of the clergy, and he, therefore, could not see why a clergyman should not be an ex officio guardian. He should, therefore, support the amendment. - Sir WALTER JAMES thought the distinction drawn by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State was a Just and sound one. Mr. G. KNIGHT thought a great deal more harm than good would be done by having the clergymen ex officio guardians. Mr. T. DUSCOMBE did not think any person more suited to be ex officio guardians than clergymen, because they were best acquainted with the condition of the poor. He should vote fur the amendment. Mr. AGLIONBY thought that a new light had come over the lion. Gentleman.—(Hear.) If he (Mr. Aglionby) was not mistaken, the Hon. Gentleman had gone out with him and voted against the appointment of any guardians of the poor who were not elected by the people ; now he thought that the clergy were the proper guardians of the poor.—(Laughter.) Ile was anxious to see the poor-law carried into effect humanely and considerately to the poor He hailed this Bill as a great amendment of tale existing law, but he was for amendment only, and not for repeal. He never could agree, however, in the opi nion, that the clergy should be dragged into official responsibility in connection with this Act, and he there fore must (rive his decided opposition to the amendment which he had' proposed. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he was charged with not giving a reason for desiring to see the clergy ex officio guardians of the poor. His reason, then, was this, that the clergyman of the parish was the best acquainted with the wants of that parish, and that the clergy gene rally were amongst -the most lenient and consistent ad sninistrators of help to those who stood in need of it. Lord JOHN MANNERS said though there might be difficalties in Working out the suggestion embodied in the amendthent of the lion. Member fur Evesham, still it was one that ought net to be lightly disregarded. Mr. REDHEAD YORKE had the highest opinion of the qualifications and the humanity of the clergy, and of their fitness fur the performance of the duties proposed, but upon the whole he thought they had better be left, as now, to the chances of selection from the general body of their fellow-countrymen. Mr. G. HEATIICOTE had exactly the same opinion of the clergy as the Hon. Member who addressed the House last; but his ground for opposing the amendment would be the fear of making the ex officio guardians too numerous and powerful. After a f.-w words from Mr. Cripps, Mr. Palmer, and rive Borthwiek, the amendment was withdrawn. After a short discussion the clause was agreed to. fin clause 23 being proposed, Nr. HENLEY called the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to the painful circumstances in which the wives of convicts were placed in comparison with widows, and suggested that they should be placed on the same footing as that class of persons. After a few words from Colonel WOOD, ;sir .JAMES GRAHAM said that the clause imposed no new hardship on a woman who was deserted by her husband. By the clause, she was to be treated as a widow. The object of the clause was to prevent a oroan, whose husband had been been convicted, or who lasel deserted her, from deserting her children. It placed her ;t1 the same situation as the father, and subjected her, if' she deserted her children, to the same penalties. After a few observations from Captain PECHELL, t e e c l ause m i.: agreed to. On clause 24 Sing put, Mr. DARBY obj,'eted to it, first, because he doubted 43 policy, and, secondise that, in carrying it out, there was no security to the parties whose goods were taken. He thought there ought, in the first instance, to be a certificate by proper inquiry as to the lunacy of the party. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the oreration of the clause would lead to what he very much desired—namely, that where parties were lunatic they should not remain in the union, but in a lunatic asylum ; for though that might he more costly, they would be better taken care of. The necessity fur this provision arose from an over sight in the 9th of Geo. IV., c. 40, s. 41. Mr. DARBY explained, and considered the Right Hon. Baronet had not answered the principal objections made by him to the clause. Mr. B. COCHRANE opposed the clause, and objected to the practice of keeping lunatics in workhouses on the same footing as the other paupers, a practice which had existed, to his own knowledge, for some years, and which the present clause was calculated to perpetuate. They should be sent to a lunatic asylum. • Sir J. GRAHAM said, according to the present sta tute, the guardians could not keep a lunatic in a work house for more than fourteen days, without incurring a penalty. Lord EBRINGTON thought it exceedingly unwise that the lunatic paupers should be kept in workhouses, as it tended to confirm or increase their insanity. Mr. P. BORTHWICK objected to the phrase " clan getous lunatic;" those lunatics who were confined in a workhouse, though harmless at first, would speedily be come " dangerous," from the necessary absence of proper treatment, whilst, had the same person been placed in a lunatic asylum, his intellects would be probably restored. Lord ASHLEY quoted, from an authorised report, to ".;?ONV that several lunatic paupers were confined in the workhouses in England and Wales. There were forty four in a workhouse in Penrose, several of whom were dangerous lunatics, and there wereseventy-one persons of thesame description in a workhouse in Manchester, many of whom were subject to fits of raving madness. The word "dangerous" in the Act had been interpreted in three different ways. By some it was held to apply to " persons," by others to " lunatics," and by others to " idiots." In the workhouse there was neither a medi 'cal supervision nor any remedial treatment whatever. it was said lunatic paupers ought to be sent to the asy lum, but how could they be sent there, when there were 17,000 lunatic paupers in England and Wales, and the lunatic asylums were only competent to contain 4,500? —(!Wear, hear.) In England the lunatics were generally disposed of in the workhouses, or in private or Tesblic asylums, but in Wales these unfortunate creatures were treated worse than cattle. They were placed in stables and outhouses, and chained in dark rooms ; some of them underground, and whereno man of feeling would put his deg.--(Hear, hear.) If the cases of these unfor tunate lunatics were taken in hand during the first three months of their illness they might be treated successfully, but after the expiration of twelve months the lunacy became confirmed, and cure became almost impossible. Neither was it true ecorusrny to keep those creatures in workhouses, for, as their disease became permanent, so the expense of their mainteoance became certain and constant.—(Hear, hear.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the remarks ofhis Noble Friend the Member for Dorsetshire were entitled to the gravest consideration. His Noble Friend had. indeed Oren utterance to a startling fact, that thre were • , an rasgland - 17,000 pauper lunatics, and asylums capable of accommodating only 4,500. uch a statement waS 4 " . well entitled to the consideration of Parliament. In con ' sequence of the report of the Metropolitan Commis sioners of Lunacy, it had been the intention of the Government to bring the whole subject under the con sideration of Parliament, which they would certainly do in the ensuing session.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WAKLEY said though the expense of maintain ing lunatic paupers in the workhouse was one-third less than in a lunatic asylum, yet as the Noble Lord had justly remarked, that that economy would be, most short-sighted, as well as selfish, which should treat those paor demented creatures on such a ground. He hoped the whole subject would be brought under the revision of Parliament at as early a period next session as was possible. When workhouse authorities were desirous of transmitting pauper lunatics to asylums, they were told the asylums were full. So the poor creatures whose disease had only commenced were subjected to the +ordinary workhouse regulations, without care, or medical :treatment, and thus their insanity increased. The Hon. Gentleman lauded the manner in which the Middlesex Aiwlum, Henwell, was ordered. He quite concurred in the remarks of the Noble Lord, about the necessity of placing cases of this description under proper medical care at the earliest period of the disease, for which he regretted there was SO little provision at present. 'These things ought to be guarded against. The Noble - lA-rd (Ashley) had promised to bring the whole subject before the House, and he must be spurred up to keep his - promise, for no man was more competent to handle the queetion.---(Hear, hear.)

All this was bad enough. But Prime Ministers possess peculiar means of softening the wrath of Bishops. The gentle spirits which inhabit episcopal breasts, keep not in remembrance the offences of Cabinets. Peers themselves are placable when the acts which they disapprove are committed by the Government of whose general politics they approve, and which has honours and rewards at its disposal. To strangle the Bill in the House of Lords with the silken cord of the Royal Prerogative, was, doubtless, a course less fraught with danger than to allow it to enter the Commons. There it would be the signal for renewing dissensions not yet healed ; of reviving altercations between the Ministry and its friends —the sounds of which have scarcely ceased to grate upon the sensitive ears of the Premier. The was, as we have said, and for the causes we have ex-, plained, knocked on the head by the Duke of Wel lington on Thursday last.

There was no measure that Parliament had expressed a wish further to consider, in which the Crown had interposed its authority to prevent that further consideration of the matter." His Lordship, however, felt that it was vain to contend with the power which had been brought to bear upon the measure; and he therefore withdrew it from further notice. The Bishop of Salisbury pronounced the funeral oration over the lifeless corpse of the Bill, martyred by the sacrilegious hands of Minis ters—strangled by a " manoeuvre" for State convenience. We dismiss the reproaches and remonstrances which the Right Rev. Prelate addressed to the Government, for the purpose of in troducing, what appears to us of much more importance—the imputed infraction of the union between the Church and the State, which has been committed by Ministers, in their mode of getting rid of the difficulties that embarrassed them, in connection, with the Bill being introduced into the House of Commons after having passed the House of Lords. We stop not to investigate the validity of the grounds on which the Bishop of Salisbury rests his accusations of the Government. STANDARD.—EarI Powis last night withdrew his Bill for the severance of the dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph. A debate of considerable length preceded the withdrawal of the Bill, but the topics of this discussion related rather to the regularity of introducing such a Bill without the appro bation of the Crown previously obtained, than to the merits of the Bill itself. We think that there is some (per haps not useless) obscurity involving the question really debated—the right of the Crown to set a preliminary veto upon the introduction of any class of measures. We know that in practice, the Crown and each of the two Houses severally have been allowed an exclusive initiative in particular cases—the Crown, where Crown property, or pri vilege, or grants to individuals may be concerned, the House of Lords' all measures touching the peerage, and the Commons in the matter of taxation. This, all are aware, has been the practice of the three branches of the sovereign legislature ; but it would be difficult to trace that practice to any distinct law. The natural explanation appears to be, that in each of the cases, the Crown, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons have, upon just and prudent considerations, divested itself of the initiative of propositions, by proposing which first it might inconveniently compromise itself with one or both of the other branches. This is plainly the opinion of Lord Brougham—an excellent authority upon a question of Con stitutional law—for his Lordship maintains the perfect legality of a member of either House of Parliament introduc ing any measure subject only to the self-i m p os ed o rd er s of the House to which he belongs. According to this view, which is, we are convinced, the just one, it is a rule esta blished by the House of Lords, and not the prerogative of the Crown, which h as unfavourably determined the destiny of Lord Powis' Bill. As we have said, how ever, the question is obscure, and not uselessly obscure. It is better to avoid the definition of naked rights among powers whose cordial co-operation is necessary for their acting with success. " Definitiones lege sunt periculosee" in more senses than one ; for, questionless, reciprocal concessions tend much more to harmony of ac tion than a. separation of powers by stern legal barriers. Of the merits of the Bill withdrawn last night we have little to add to what we have already said : we could heartily wish that St. Asaph's might retain its bishop, and that Dlanchester might have a bishop also ; but we cannot shut our eves to the difficulty of completing this arrangement or to the danger of opening anew the adjust ment of the ecclesiastical establishment so long ago ef fected. Lord Powis' Bill, if successful, would not be a barren precedent, nor would the use made of it be limited to the episcopal order. The union that it would sever, is a part of a plan wisely, and with the best intentions, contrived to render the resources of the Church to the utmost extent available for the religious in struction of the people, with the view of being able to call boldly upon the country to supply the deficiency that might be found after this effort and its sacrifices had been made, and had been made manifest. We have a confident hope that the effect will be to stimulate the people to go before the Legislature in de manding a large extension of the means of the Church's utility and the sphere of its influence. Such, we have no doubt, is the purpose cf Sir Robert Peel. In the dispensa tion of Church patronage he has done all that a minister could do to advan ce the Church in the favour of the public. The bishops of his appointment are surely men the best calculated to reflect honour upon their sacred office, and to render the office itself popular, even with multitudes who have been hitherto indif ferent or insensible to his value. We are convinced that even now the appointment of ten or twenty new bishops (such bishops as Sir Robert Peel has appointed) upon newly es tablished bishoprics, would be gratefully welcomed by the nation ; nor would any difficulty be made be cause of the augmentation of the Church influ ence in a House of Lords so largely increased by lay peerages; but the temporal provision is still to be considered, and for that the newly awakened zeal of the public is not A yet sufficient. We have, however, no doubt that in good time all difficulty on this head will be made to disappear, if only the plan of the Prime Minister shall be permitted to work without interruption. It is be • cause the success of Lord Powis' Bill would seriously impede the progress of that plan, that we are reconciled to the failure of the measure. LAW NCE COURT OF CHANCERY, July 12. IN TIIE MATTER OF DYCE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC. The reading of the further evidence in this petition occu. pied:the Court the whole day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 12. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLA.ND.) DEEKS V. STANHOPE. His HoNouß gave judgment to-day in this case, overruling the demurrers to the plaintiff's bill. (Before Sir JAMES WIGRAM.) JONES V. WALKER. In this case the bill was filed to set aside a promissory note given to secure the payment of a sum of money the loan of which was said to be tainted with usury, and the security, therefore, void. The bill prayed an injunction to restrain the payee of the note from negotiating it. Application was made ex parte for an injunction, and the motion now made by the defendant was that the plaintiff might pay into court the amount of money received by the note, and that one of the plaintiff's might be restrained from proceeding with a qui tam action on the note. His HONOUR delivered judgment this morning, ordering the judgment to be dissolved unless the money were paid into court before the 12th of August. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 11. (Before Commissioner Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) EXTRAORDINARY FRAUDS.—WILLIAM BROMLEY'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt carried on business as a solicitor in Gray's Inn, and has been frequently before the court. He this day appeared to pass his final adjourned examination, and the court was crowded to excess with the suffering victims of his fraudulent breaches of trust. The Right Honourable Dr. Lushington, and the Rev. Archdeacon Brymer (of Bath), were present on the bench, they having in their capacity of co -trustees with the bank rupt, in re Wilkinson, been defrauded of no less a sum than 29,0001. Mr. Clarkson attended on the part of Archdeacon Brymer and Dr. Lushington ; Mr. Humphrey for the assignees ; and Mr. Sturgeon for the bankrupt. The debts and liabilities amount, in round numbers, to about 140,0001., principally through breaches of trust, and some of them appeared to have extended as far back as 1824, but the bankrupt still continues to state that he has large available securities and bills of costs in various settled and unsettled suits, but which the derangement produced by his difficulties had hitherto prevented his making out, and, therefore, not enabling the official assignee to value them. Mr. CLARKSON said that he had the honour of appearing for the Venerable Archdeacon of Bath, the Rev. Dr. Brymer, and also for Dr. Lushington, who were now creditors for the sum of 29,000 L, and who ha di to complain that this amount, rather the greater portion of it, was unsecured, notwithstand ing the repeated assurances of the bankrupt, by letter and otherwise, that it was not upon good security; and the in... terest, therefore, having been paid up to the period of tLe fiat, they were lulled into a false security. Most of the sums composing this 29,0001. had originally been out upon 'good security, which, however, being subsequently released, the bankrupt had applied to his own purposes, instead of lending it upon mortgage, as he had induced his co4rustees to be lieve that he had done. At the time of the death of the tes tator (Mr. Wilkinson) the bankrupt was indebted to that gentleman in the sum of 9,0001., and for which he deposited at the testator's bankers (Messrs. Childes) in a tin box, the deeds of two estates at Kensington and Clapton as security for that amount. This tin box, however, he had shortl3- after obtained from the bankers by fraudulent representa tions, and under th e p rom i se o f its being returned. This was . never done, and the result showed that these estates were sold by the bankrupt, and that the trustees, had no other security than the bankrupt's bond. The Learned Counsel here entered into a lengthened detail upon the various items of this amount, and the mode in which the bankrupt had dealt with them, and upon the part especially of Mr. Bel lenden Ker (a most respectable conveyancer), whose name had been stated by the bankrupt to his co-trustees as having borrowed 3,000/., whereas, in point of fact, he now held in his hand the affidavit of Mr. Ker, denying in the most posi tive terms that he had ever borrowed any such sum. Sir C. F. WiLuAms—Does the bankrupt's balance-sheet give any intimation of these dreadful facts? The official assignee (Mr. Turquand)—None, Sir—none. Sir C. F. WlLLiams—,Why, then, it is a complete blank. Mr. CLARasole--The balance-sheet gives no dates, and upon that fact alone he could not be now permitted to pass his last examination. The . Learned Counsel then read a letter addressed by the bankrupt to Archdeacon Brymer, giving an account of how the moneys were invested, the greater part of which had turned out to be untrue. He pre tended to have effected mortgages with parties, including names of the highest respectability; but instead of doing so, he received the moneys as they were paid off, and made use of it himself. The Learned Counsel recapitulated a long list of names, and the particulars of mortgages said to have been concluded. After a few words of objection from Mr. Sturgeon as to the intended examination of the bankrupt, who did not at pre sent ask for his certificate, the bankrupt was then called, when Mr. HUMPHREY said—l appear, Sir, on the behalf of the assignees, and bad and sorrowful as the case may be which has been brought before your Honour's attention by my Learned Friend Mr. Clarkson, it is only one out of twenty three cases which I represent, and each one of which I un dertake to prove to the satisfaction of every reasonable being to be cases in which the most heartless frauds have been per petrated by the bankrupt, amounting in the whole to no less a sum than 92,000/. There is one unfortunate person whom the bankrupt has defrauded of 3,000/. so far back as the year 1824, when the money was deposited in his hands to place out upon good security, and as the interest was regularly paid up to the time of the fiat, the contrary was not known; but in consequence of their being no security this-poor lady last week received parish relief, and she is now about retiring to the workhouse.—(Sensation.) There is also, your Honour, a person now in Court whose mother had been pillaged in an amount of 8,0001. in like manner, and this lady had a few days since been obliged to sell articles of furniture in order to pay her rent.—(Several voices, " Shock ing.") The assignees feel it their unavoidable duty to go fully into these cases, which will show a degree of heartless ness unequalled in any case brought before a court of justice. To the extent of 92,000/. I shall be able to prove fraud as bad, or worse, than the case which my Learned Friend has just stated, and the desire of the assignees is to show to the world the extent of these terrible frauds. I have the representa tive, now sitting by my side, of a lady who deposited 25,000/. in the hands of the bankrupt, to be advanced upon security', the whole of which is lost, although a statement had been sent by the bankrupt to her, in which the time, circumstance, and place of the various securities in which her money had been placed was detailed, the whole of which statement now appears to be a fabrication from beginning to end. The bankrupt was here sworn, and examined by Mr. CLarixsorr—The letters referred to, and addressed to Dr. Lushington, are in my handwriting, but before I answer fur ther questions, I merely wish to state, that when this unfor tunate occurrence took place I wrote to Mr. Lewis, offering to give him every information that he required. Ido not attempt to deny that I have acted improperly, but in most instances there are circumstances of great palliation. After having given every information, am I bound to paeceed in answering? The Court intimated that he was bound to answer every question put to him by his creditors. Examination resumed—l was acquainted with Mr. Wil kinson, who, I believe, died in 1827, and Archdeacon Brymer. Dr. Lushington and myself were, co-executors under his will. At the time of his death, I believe, there was a mortgage of 3,500/. on the property of a person named Clubb, which was afterwards released by tor. Lushington, in order to release it in the name of R. G. Troughton. Mr. CLatticson—What did you do with the 3,500/. ?—I can not recollect. Was it advanced to Mr. Troughton ?—lt was not. It wen t into my general fund. [Here' the bankrupt, who appeared in a very weak state, burst into tears]: Mr. CLARKSON—Do -you mean by that answer that you applied it to your own purposes ?—YeS,,,_ before Dr. Lush ington released Clubb's. mortgage tie interest was paid int o the Bank in the name . of Cl4h, - and after. that date, and up to the fiat; it was paid in the name of Troughton. What was your object in keeping np, the payments of inte rest in the name- Of Troughton when , that gentleman had 'nothing to do with it ? The hankrupt tears)—lt ought not to have been done. Sir C. F. Wimaasis—You need not press for an answer to that question, Mr. Clarkson ; the reason is almost obvious. Mr. CLARKSON—Now, in reference to Park's mortgage of 3,0001., is the letter dated the 16th of September, in which you state that the money is to be lent on an estate in Mid= dlesex and Hampshire, to pay interest 4i per cent. ? The bankrupt—lt is my writing. The money never was advanced to him. The same course as to payment of interest was pur sued as in the case of Troughton. Mr. CLARICSON—NOW, as to Fry's mortgage of 3,500/.? The bankrupt—There was a mortgage of 3,500/. to Mr. Fry. which was also released, and supposed by Dr. Brymer to have been secured upon another estate in the same name. I paid the interest up to - the time of the fiat, but it was never transferred, to any estate in Hampshire, or anywhere else. The money has gone into my general funds, but not for my necessaries. I have no doubt but that at the time there was some contemplated security, though I admit it was never completed. Mr. CLamtsow—Was there any title approved of by Mr. H. B Ker, as you stated in your letter to Dr. Lushington ? I have no doubt but there was, but it is so long since that I cannot say. I never told the trustees that the transfer was not completed. The bankrupt was next examined with reference to the transfer of a mortgage of 4,000/. 'to a Mr. J. P. Burnard, when it appeared that the transfer of that particular sum had never been made, although Burnard (as stated by the .'pankrupt) was then indebted to him in a larger sum. This item had gone in the same manner (1. e., been made away with) as all the others, although he had paid interest into the bank in Burnard's name. In respect of the bankrupt's obtaining -the tin box from Messrs. Childes, he stated that Mr. Wilkinson had allowed him the use of the 9,000/., and that he had deposited the deeds of his Kensington and Clapton estates with them as security. The box was after wards obtained from them by letter from me, and I never returned it. I believe I did not ask the executors for leave to remove it. (In much agitation)—l can say no more. Mr. CLAnicsos—Have these gentlemen any security for the sums of 17,000/. and 9,000/. ?—None whatever. By Mr. HUMPHREY—I wa s concerned for Mrs. Blair, wh o died in 1841. Were there any securities given for her money ?—There were securities in nearly every instance. Was there ever such v a deed as Fry's in existence for 2,3001., and that it was ever executed ?—I believe there was, but 1 do not recollect. Fry was a timber merchant, and now lives at St. John's-wood. His name is William Fry. I will not swear I had securities for that money, but by a reference to certain papers I should be able to explain all this. The greater portion of Mrs. Blair's 6,0001. was paid off. . Did you not appropriate it to your own use ?—lt went into my own accounts. That is, you misappropriated it, as you did all the other moneys ?—Yes, it was so. Did you not represent to Mrs. Blair that all this money was advanced to Mrs. Seabrook 2—lt was so stated, I be lieve, and 4,500/. was, I admit, out of that money, appro priated to my own use. I was conce rn ed for a person of the name of Trott, in which a sum of 3,250/. was absorbed, and in consequence of which one of the co-legatees was now' com pelled to seek shelter in a union workhouse. Mr. Hustrunev—The representatives of Captain Blair lost upwards of 15,7581., and on the part of all the other sufferers, it would be unnecessary for him to repeat a tale of such gross and fraudulent circumstances. Sir C. F. Wfulams—This is not an every day case, and the bankrupt should have time to explain. Mr. HUMPHREY—We have no objection to delay in favour of the bankrupt, and we shall furnish him with a list of all the cases which we charge against him to have been of it most fraudulent character. Mr. STURGEON—The case, Sir, is very complicated— Sir C. F. WlLLLots—Why, Sir, it is one, unfortunately, of the clearest cases of fraud that ever came before the Court. Mr. HUMPHREY suggested an adjournment of the case to Monday next. A long conversation here took place, in the course of which The bankrupt said, he was ready to give his creditors every information. He had never denied his unfortunate situation—he knew he could not ; all he could do was to throw himself on the kind consideration of those whom he had injured, It was eventually agreed by all parties that a short ad journment should take place to hear anything the bankrupt might wish to say in palliation or explanation, and subse quently receive the judgment of the Court on his last exa mination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-- (YESTERDAY. ) MANSION-HOUSE. A boy named George Hayward, who has been some time pretending to be deaf and dumb, and by means of those begging accomplishments levying contributions on the public, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen a milk ewer, in Charlotte's coffee house, Bucklersbury. The prisoner, it appeared, went into the house and signified to the waiter that he wanted assistance. A boy in the service of Mr. Pontin, the proprietor, observed him slip a milk ewer under his coat, and quit the pre mises, and immediately followed him and caused him to be taken into custody. The prisoner said he had been obliged to resort to the way of supporting himselt described, by sheer necessity, and that he could not resist the temptation to take the property as it lay so conveniently at his hand. The LORD MAYOR —You have been in prison before? The prisoner —yes, my Lord, I know where it is well. The LORD MAYon—Have you not been whipped ? The prisoner —Aye, right well whipped, please your Lordship. The policeman' in whose custody th e p r i soner was in troduced to the Lord Mayor, said the boy, while ex citing compassion for his apparent defects, was in the habit of cribbing anything that fell in his way, and ex ercised a great deal of ingenuity in the pursuit. The prisoner —Upon my honour I have been driven to this by want. The fact is, I did not know where to get a meal. The LORD MAYOR—YOU say.you have been whipped and imprisoned? The prisoner —Certainly I have, your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR—I find that you are of the worst sort, and I am assured that you are incorrigible. The prisoner —I shall not do this any more if you let me go but this once, my Lord. I do assure you, upon my honour, I'll turn honest. —(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR —I shall not trust you. You shall go to prison for three months, and be whipped once a week, so that you shall retain a sharp recollection of being brought before me. The prisoner began to roar when he heard the Lord Mayor talk of whipping, and declared that, if his Lord ship would only pardon him that. one offence, he would never attempt to play deaf and dumb again,, but talk like other boys, and get his bread honestly. He was then committed to prison, with hard labour, for the space of three months ; and while he remained in the cage, he gave to the whole house good reason to be lieve that he had effectually 'recovered the use of the organ of speech. A man,- named Samuels, was charged with having called a porson, with whom he had had some dealings, a thief and a swindler. and with .having accused him of having made false entries in his master's books. The defendant admitted that he had heard the com plainant was no better than a thief, and that •he had made false returns for the purpose of benefiting himself. The LORD MAYOR—Have you convicted the .COlil plaint of theft, or any of the offences with .which you have charged him ? Defendant—No ; but I can prove the truth of all I have said. Tbe LORD MAYOR—Have y ou ever punished hinr? Defendant—No ; but he deserves to be punished. The Loan MAYOR—If you believe him to be guilty of such offences, you must show his guilt in the proper way in a court of justice. You must not use such language. I hold you to bail to keep the peace towards him for three calendar months. CLEI?KENWELL. • Henry Hutchins, an ivory turner, residing in Ray street, Clerkenwell, was charged with bigamy. • • Three women, who, it was alleged, were his wives, were present, but it turned out that he had been mar ried only to two. The females seemed to regard one an other with the keenest feelings. of jealousy and 'the pri 7 soner with the bitterest dislike. . Mr. COMBE said it would be -desirable to prove .the second marriage in the first instance. The second wife, Euphemia Mitchell, a black-eyed,= gipsey-looking damsel, aged 23, deposed that she had been married to the prisoner on the Ist of August, 1842, in St. Dunstan's Church Stepney. The witness pro duced the certificate of the first marriage. Mr. COMBE—He represented himself as a bachelor, did he ? Second wife—Oh, no ; he told me he was a married man. Mr. COMBE—Then why did you marry him? _ First wife—Yes, that is the question. Second wife—l married him because he was sepe rated from his first, who, he said, would never trouble him. The solicitor for the prisoner cross-examined her as to the reason of the, prisoner deserting her ; but she said she ran away from him because he treated her in so brutal a manner.' Prisoner 7 —That is a lie. Second wife—lt ii the truth. You know you half starved me. The person represented as the third wife here stood forward, and was the .very picture of, famine. She said nothing, but her appe arance spoke .volumes. The second wife added that she left the prisoner two months ago, in' consequence of his wicked conduct ; and she had no sooner left him, than he took up with,th e third woman, with who m h e has since cohabited. The first wife, Hannah Hutchins, was then examined, She said that she was married to the prisoner on the 26th ofJune, 1831, in the Church of St. Mary's, Isling ton. They had five children, and lived, for many years after their marriage, in destitution. Four of their chil dren died ; one only survived, who was eleven years old, and who lived with the prisoner. He deserted her about four years ago, after treating her with cruelty. She gave the prisoner into custody at twelve o'clock on the previous night in the hOuse of his wife or paramour. Mr. COMBE-Why did you give him into custody ? First wife—Because he is continually persecuting me. When ever I get a little work to do he goes to the place, and speaks so vilely of me to my employers, that I am dis charged at once. Prisoner—You are a disgrace to your sex. . • The woman produced the certificate of the first mar riage, and admitted, on ber cross-examination, that she was cohabiting with another, man, in Chapel-street, Islington, who treated her kindly, and the prisoner forced their only child upon her continually, but she was unable to support him. She wished to be pro tected from the prisoner's violence. , Prisoner (excitedly)--You are a vile, spiteful, wretched woman. Police-constable, Tate, 136 G, proved the prisoner's arrest, .who. was , remanded for further evidence of formal nature, Mr. COMBE intimating that he would send him for trial. The three women then left the Court, seemingly re joiced at the prisoner's incarceration. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Jane Poachers, a good-looking young woman, without bonnet or shawl, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. Police-constable John Jones, No. 59 of the B division, stated that about half-past ten o'clock yesterday m orn i ng , as he was on duty at Hyde Park-cdrner, the housekeeper of Col. Wyndham, of No. 4, Grosvenor place, called out' o him from one of the upper windows that a female was about to throw herself into the reservoir in the Green Park, imme• diately in the rear of the triumphal arch. The place is sur rounded by shrubberies, and to get to it a person must climb over three rows of iron spiked railings, five feet high. Witness hastened to the spot as quickly as he pos sibly could, and saw the girl standing on the brink of - the reservoir, and. from, her manner it was evident she was about to throw herself in. He rushed forward and caught her by the arm as she made the plunge into the water. Being a very powerful man, he succeeded in keeping his hold of her, notwithstanding she struggled violently to free herself, and bit him severely in the hand, declaring repeatedly that her intention was to drown herself, and that nothing should prevent her. With the assistance of one of the park-keepers he got her out, and conveyed her to Vine-street station-house. Had she fallen into the reservoir her death would have been inevitable, as the reservoir is 60 feet deep. It is constructed to afford a supply to the ornamental waters in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. Mr. HARDVFICK asked why the prisoner was not brought Up yesterday?-Inspector Baker of the C division said, that when brought to the station-house it was Supposed from her manner that she was under the influence of liquor, but this morning her conduet was unchanged, and he had no doubt that her mind was affected. The constable, who took her into custody, said he had been informed that she was the daughter of one of the most opu lent traders in Yorkshire, but had been seduced from her home at a very early age. Latterly he had known her as living in the neighbourhood of Knightsbridge. • Mr. HAnDwrcit humanely ordered that for the present she should be taken into the infirmary of St. Martin's parish, and that the state of her mind should be examined. MARKET .NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.] _ - CORN EXCHANGE. • • Since Monday last, the arrivals of English Wheat fresh up to our market have been only moderate. The samples left over from that day having been mostly'disposed of, the show was by no means large. The demand, however, for all de scriptions, was in a very sluggish' state,• and previa. rates were barely supported. In foreign Wheats next to nothing was doing, although the holders were disposed to take less money. Barley, was very heavy in sale, and the turn loWer. Malt might have been purchased at a further decline' of from Is to 2s per quarter. Oat', Beans, Peas, and Flour, were a mere drug, and somewhat cheaper. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley.
