Mr. Shaw, the publican, stated that the prisoner broke up his wife's apple-stall to fight with the police. Mr. NORTON said he never heard of a more out rageous case, and sending him to prison for one month was quite an inadequate punishment. The wife of the prisoner informed the magistrate that he used her in the most cruel manner, and turned her out of doors, and said that, " work or play," he was determined that she should keep him. He had already been five times in prison. Mr. NORTON said he was more a brute than a man, and should go to prison for one month, and fineL bail for three months, and give 24 hours' notice of bail. Mr. oRTON ordered the poor woman 20s. for the damage done to her stall. SOUTHWARK. John Neal was charged with stealing a quantity of hair rope, the property of Mr. Wilc oxson, of Monu ment-yard, and a woman named Nicholson was charged as the receiver. The prisoner Neal was stopped a few mornings ago leaving the shop of his fellow-prisoner, after deliver ing a bag, which was subsequently found to contain a quantity of hair rope. Neal, on being taken into cus tody, said the bag and its contents was intrusted to him to carry to the other prisoner's shop. This as sertion, however, being doubted, the prisoners were remanded, and since then it was ascertained he was occasionally employed by Mr. Wilcoxson, an extensive hair-manufacturer, from whose premises he had taken it and carried it over to the other prisoner's shop, in order to sell it.- -The prisoners were remanded.

George Hawking, a reputed thief, was brought up on remand, and Henry John Crawcour, a surgeon, said to be in an extensive practice in Old Gravel-lane, surrendered to answer to a charge of having burgle riously entered the house No. 6, attached to the East Middlesex Society's School, Cannon-street-road, St. George's-in-the-East, and stolen therefrom a time piece, three silver spoons and some Britannia metal spoons, together with other articles, the property of James Starke, the master of the school. From the position of one of the parties accused, and the apparent improbability that he could render himself amenable to such a charge, or be in any way connected with such an associate as Hawkins, the case excited great interest, and the Court was crowded. Mr. Lewis appeared for Crawcour. The prisoner Hawkins was undefended. Though the particulars of the case, all of which came out in the first examination, appeared fully in our publication of Monday, it will be necessary, to render the proceedings of Thursday intelligible, to briefly recapitulate the circumstances of the case. The complainant left his house at about six o'clock on Sunday week, when all was safe, locking the front door after him. On his return home he found it had been entered by means of skeleton keys, which opened the external lock as well as the locks of the inner rooms. Several boxes and closets had been forced, and the greater part of the contents were strewn about the apartments. On a further search it was found that a timepiece, three silver spoons, some Bri tannia metal spoons, and various other articles, had been abstracted from the premises by the burglars. In consequence of information given to two constables of the H division the prisoners were arrested—Hawkins in Whitechapel, and Crawcour in a house of ill fame, No. 6, Salter-place, Cannon-street-road, when they were brought before Mr. Ballantine, on Saturday The only evidence to connect either of the pri soners with the burglary was that of a lad named Edward Cummins, who swore positively that at eight o'clock on the evening of the preceding Sunday, whilst standing in Cannon-street, almost directly op posite the school-house, he saw two persons, one of whom was Hawkins, come out of complainant's house, whilst Crawcour lighted them with a candle to the door, and in about two minutes afterwards followed them down William-street. The first witness called was police-constable 12611, by whom Crawcour was arrested. He stated that he had discovered no traces of the stolen property, and was therefore not able to carry the case any further than on the previous examination. He had, however, made inquiries into the character of the lad Cummins, on whose evidence the charge entirely depended, and all the answers were in favour of his honesty. One of Cummins's former employers, named Allen, dis charged him for sauciness, but did not accuse him of being a liar. Cummins was then called—Though subjected to a long and severe cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, he persisted steadily in his previous statement ; nothing was elicited to affect his character more than that he had been dismissed for sauciness by Mrs. Allen, and from her employment at the Cannon-street toll-gate, because on one occasion he had stayed up all night with the toll-taker at Stepney-gate. Some additional evidence, however, was elicited from his further cross-examination, which will be of great importance to the prisoners. He slight that, previously to his seeing Crawcour light the two parties out of complainant's house, he was standing against a lamp-post at the corner of Chap man-street and Cannon-street, talking to a nut boy. On seeing the goings on at the house, he said to the nut boy, "There's something wrong there ;" onwhich the latter replied, " Don't talk to me like that," and, taking up his nuts, went away. There were not many people passing at the time, and witness could not be mistaken as to the identity of the prisoners, as he had seen each of them several times, and on one or two occasions he had seen them in company with each other. Police-constable 11 126 was then called, and in answer to the question as to whether the house in which Crawcour was found was a brothel, said, he called upon the landlady, who told him the house had been taken by a stout young woman for a new mar ried couple. He visited the place after the arrest of the prisoner, when he saw two young women there, and shorty afterwards he saw them and a young gentleman sitting by the fire. A host of the prisoner's friends presented themselves to speak in his behalf, and assured the Magistrate that it was absurd to suppose he would have committed such a crime as that with which he was charged. It was also stated that it would be impossible for a per son standing as the witness represented himself to have done, co uld see what was passing at the com plainant's door. Mr. BALLANTINE said that he felt deeply for the position of the prisoner and his friends, but there was nothing in the case to take it out of the class of simi lar ones which were frequently before him, except the respectability of the parties implicated. Ile felt it his duty to send the case for trial ; but as the high character given to the young man Crawcour created a doubt, which however it would be the province of a jury to solve, he would take bail for his appearance to answer the charge. The previous bail to the same amount was then re ceived for Crawcour, and Hawkins was committed to Newgate. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 24. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUB.) TE IB TALACRIS MINING COMPANY—THE DIRECTORS LIABLE TO THE BANKRUPT LAWS.—IN RR JOHN DAVIE S, AN INSOLVENT. This insolvent came up to-day for his final order, which had been adjourned on one or two former oc casions. He was one of the Directors of the Talacre Coal and Iron Company, which it was said now owed the sum of 30,000/. The insolvent held a consider able number of paid-up shares. He had also been connected with the West Cork Mining Company, the St. George's Harbour Company, and ether similar speculations. He was supported by Mr. Sturgeon, and opposed b 7 Mr. H. S. Wilde, upon the ground that the lalacre Company was a trading Company, to prove which several books, reports, and other papers were put in. It appeared that the Talacre Company had a stone quarry at Talacre, in North Wales, and it was shown that they had manufactured the stone into various forms, such as polished flags, tooled flags, sink stones, Sce. Different descriptions of masonry articles were also supplied to build a church at Llan roost, and to Lord Crewe, and various other persons. Several cases were selected from the books and papers pro duced, upon which the insolvent was examined, but he denied all knowledge of the manufactry of the s t on es for the purposes a bove-named having been carried on. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUR, in giving judg ment, said that the question for his decision was en tirely one of trading—were the parties in question the Directors of the Talacre Company—vvere:they quarry men, or stonemasons ? It did not follow because a freeholder iiiapted articles which he raised from the bowels of the earth for conveyance from place to place, that he should necessarily become a trader. A landlord might fell his timber and square it for sale, without subjecting him self to the bankrupt laws, and the quarryman might split his stone into flags without being a mason ; but, if more workmanship and skill were bestowed upon it for the purpose of making it more marketable, and by which a higher price was obtained, the parties were traders. lie had before him a book which proved the sale of stones of several shapes to different persons, and at various prices, and it was ci:ar to his mind that the Company would have sold to airy body sent to purchase, and that the articles whioh they made were not, as it had been attempted to be shown, made merely as specimens. The item which occurred most frequently was "flags," of w hich there were three descriptions, polished, tooled, and rough flags, the prices being regulated by the workmanship. There were also landings, grave stones, copings, and sink-stones; in short, every de scription of masonry used for building purposes. It was impossible that such articles could have been manufactured without the knowledge of the Directors of the Company, Lusa it was therefore a trading com pany, ,and the insolvent, being a partner was a trader. Ilis petition must therefore be dismissed. stances : The maid- servant, Elizabeth Riley, deposed, that on the previous night, between ten and eleven o'clock, during her master's absence from home, the prisoner demanded to be paid his wages immediately, as he intended to leave, when Mr. Allen, jun., desired him to make application for his money to Mr. Allen on the next morning. He then became exceedingly violent and noisy, and going into the kitchen seized hold of a large poker with which he broke the door to pieces. He next smashed to atoms a complete (limier, dessert, and tea-service in the kitchen and pantry, and then made his way up stairs into the surgery and dining-room, in both of which apart ments, as also in the passage, he demolished with the poker the framework and glass in two or three of the windows, and a valuable lamp ; there were two police men in the house, but they for some time seemed afraid to interfere. Inquiry was made by the magistrate as to the amount of damage ; it was estimated at not less than £ s. d. £ s. d.

Stevens, 222 S, said, that he was called in, and on approaching the kitchen the prisoner rushed at him with a large poker, swearing that he would beat out his (witness's) brains, at the same time aiming a tre mendous blow at his head, which fortunately missed him, and by the force with which he (prisoner) struck, the door was shattered. Witness added, that as soon as he was able, he and his brother officer secured the prisoner in the passage, and after considerable resist ance conveyed him to the station-house. Mr. LONG (to the prisoner)—Hava you anything to say for yourself ?—Prisoner (sullenly)—Nothing. Mr. LONG observed, that he could not deal with the prisoner for the damage, the amount thereof putting that part of the case entirely out of his jurisdiction. He should, however, inflict a penalty of 40s. for the assault, and in default of payment one month's im prisonment. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 24. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) THE " RUNNING REIN " AFFAIR—IIf RE IGNATIUS FRANCIS COYLE. This insolvent, who was a man well known upon All the race-courses throughout the kingdom and in all sporting circles, applied to be liberated upon sure ties until the day appointed for his hearing. On the bail being called on, no creditor appearing to oppose, the Learned Chief Commissioner ex amined the insolvent at considerable length respecting a debt inserted in the schedule as due to Mr. Cooke, the banker, of 15, Bedford-street, Covent-garden, who had obtained possession of all his furniture, but per mitted him the use of it upon payment of 21. per week.---1 - 1 , (the insolvent) said he was of no trade or profession, bn,l* that he occasionally acted as agent for discounting bills o f excbange, that is to say, if any party came to him an. 3 wanted an advance of money he obtained it for them. Be was at present 33 years of age, and began to specuiee in horse-racing in 1832. His profits from those ::peculatioßs varied from 1001. to 3501. per annum. He had petitioned the Bankruptcy Court last year, and his petition was dismissed in consequence of his not appearing. He had hoped at that time to be able to settle his debts from a sum of money which he expected to receive from the result of the trial respecting the late Epsom Derby. He expected upwards of 7,0001. from that CLERKENWELL. James Hickey was charged with violently assaulting a poor widow, named Bream, residing in Blue Anchor-alley, St. Luke's. On the previous night the woman was standing at her own door, talking to another person, when the prisoner came up, and, without the least provocation, struck her a violent blow on the face. The fellow was not drunk, and the woman had never spoken to him.—ln default of fine he was sent to prison tbr three DOCICS. Name of Company. Dividend ! Amount per of Paid. Annum. Share. weeks. On Thursday James Shirley, alias Thompson, alias Chambers, a smartly-dressed, shrewd- looking young man, was brought up for final examination, charged with numerous robberies at the houses of professional gentlemen, also with a burglary at the house of Mr. Rogers, a gentleman residing in Bedford-square. Sergeant Dodd, 9 E, who had charge of the case, produced in court as many books as would furnish a small circulating library of every description—Court Guides, novels, and French and German works ; also a variety of notes tastefully written. These were the instruments with which the prisoner worked in a way novel and successful, and practised to a very great extent. Frequent communications had been made to the police-stations of the frauds, and the pri soner's person accurately described, but he was not apprehended until Friday, the 10th instant. The evidence given was very voluminous, but as it was of the same character in nearly all the cases, it will be sufficient to ,mention the modus operandi. He went to the house, rang the bell, and when the door was opened, handed a parcel of books to the servant, and a note, saying they were for the cook. The note ran thus :—" 20, Charles-street. Dear Sister, — With this note I send you books that you have long desired to peruse, and I think they will repay you with profit tenfold for your trouble. James has gone to Southampton, and he told me to say that he could not possibly call on you before he started. Call as early as you can make it convenient. Eliza wishes to see you very much. She tells me that you have not called on her for a month past. Meanwhile, I am your affectionate brother, J. D. Chambers." With letters of this nature he robbed the residence of Mr. C. Griffiths, of No. 21, Bedford-place, of a Spanish cloak, the property of Archdeacon Marriott, of Sydney, who was on a visit to Mr. Griffiths ; the house of Mr. Geo. Faulkner, No. 1, Bedford-row,of a weatherglass ; the house of Mr. Barrow, of 29, Bloomsbury-square ; two houses in Albion-place, Blackfriars, of wearing apparel ; and about half-a. dozen other gentlemen's houses in various parts of the metropolis, amongst others, Mr. P. Samuels, of No. 1, Bedford-place, of a great coat. The burglary was committed at the house of Mr. Rogers, where the prisoner stole a bea v e r coat, value M. On the night of the 10th instant the prisoner knocked at the door of Mr. Gregory, a solicitor, residing in Bedford-row, but the cook no sooner saw the parcel than she knew what it meant, gave the alarm, and he was secured. The prisoner, who refused to give any satisfactory account of himself, was committed for trial. LAMBETH. John Connell was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting three policemen, in the ex erciseof their duty. Police-constable, L 109, stated that he was sent for last night, to the Tower public - house , in Westminster-road to quell a disturbance, when he found the prisoner brandishing a weapon in his hand. He aimed a dreadful blow at - the head of the con stable, which he fortunately avoid e d. He closed with the prisoner, and they both fell together, and when they were on the ground the prisoner kicked the con stable severely, and struck at him several times. WORSHIP-STREET. COMMISSIONERS OF PAVIIMENTS V. THII COMMIS SIONERS OF EXCISR—Mr. Bingham, the sitting ma gistrate, was occupied a considerable time with the hearing of a summons, at the instance of the Com missioners of Pavements in the Whitechapel district, who complained of the Excise authorities, for break ing up and leaving exposed for a length of time a great extent of the public way, without the consent of the Paving Board, and to the great inconvenience of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Mr. Ballantine attended as counsel for the Com missioners of Pavements; and Mr. Carr, the newly appointed Solicitor of Excise, for the defence. From the evidence given it appeared that the Ex cise officers had for a long time suspected that the re venue was defrauded by illicit proceedings, at the distillery of Messrs. Smith and Co., near Whitechapel, and at length found that it was effected by a secret communication between the distillery and a rectify ing house adjacent. The Excise Commissioners issued orders to trace the course of the pipes in and about the premises, and under the immediate direction of the surveyor-general the pavement in the yard of the distillery, to the gates, and thence through Bucks row and North-street, was taken up, to the extent of several hundred square yards, laying bare the pipes of the East London Waterworks and others, until at last a private pipe was discovered, leading from Messrs. Smiths' store cellar to the rectifying house. In con sequence of this discovery the whole of the work at the distillery has been suspended for several months past, a great number of men thrown out of employ, and proceedings for the recovery of very heavy penalties commenced in the Court of Exchequer against Messrs. Smith and Co. The breaking up of the public pavement by the Excise had taken place without application to any other au thority, and Mr. Jennings, clerk to the Commis sioners of Paving, now proved that he had waited upon Mr. Carr, the Excise solicitor, to point out to him that it was illegal and ought not to have been done without the consent of the Paving Board. On the part of the Excise officers, it was contended that the revenue laws gave them full powers to pursue their search in such cases. The pavement bad been re placed, and an offer was made to pay all attendant expenses, but it was alleged that a penalty had been incurred by the irregularity of the proceedings, and that the surrounding inhabitants had sustained great inconvenience by them during a lengthened period, and ought to receive compensation. Mr. Carr observed that there were matters con nected with this which could not be fully entered upon at present, without prejudice to the action in the Court of Exchequer, which would be tried on the 6th of next month, and he suggested the postponement of this question till the action on had been decided. The Magistrate, therefore, postponed his decision. WAND S W OR 7'H.

The COURT accepted the bail, and the recognisances being entered into, the insolvent was liberated until the day of hearing. The schedule filed by the insolvent exhibits an aggregate amonnt of debts of 9,7121. 14s. 2d., o f which 1,1691. 7s. 6d. were deducted as those for which no consideration had been received, and an other amount of 4,4261. twice entered, leaving the net amount of debts owing by him of 4,1171. 6s. Bd. The only property available for the creditors was a dishonoured bill of exchange of 1201., accepted by Lord William Paget. He ascribed his insolvency to his expenditure exceeding. his income, and his losses upon racing speculations. .The case appeared to excite considerable attention in g very crowded court, where we noticed several well-knQwn " turf characters."
