TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES, Sir,—l purpose addressing a letter or two to you, on the present position of debtor and creditor, on the law as it now stands, and the way in which it is administered to these two important personages, in this hot bed of com merce—Liverpool. I will begin with the Guardian Society, as this society' by its secret and private correspondence, aims at affording such information to the creditor, before the debt is contracted, as to, almost, prevent the necessity for the law courts, of which I purpose to speak. I cannot, as a member of this very excellent society, say too much in favour of its utility, the ready and courteous warnings of its secretary and his staff, who are ever ready and civil with correspondence that is au fait, as to the positions of those inquired of. The secretary's written replies, containing the words "avoid," "be cautious," "not fit to be trusted," and "poor as a rake," are generally decisive to the Liverpoolian, whether or not to send his goods. In such cases of admonition, those who do send goods might as well throw them into the Mersey. Though it does happen, vigiliant as the agents of this society are, the dishonest and fraudulent, never theless, do get goods on the wrong side of the ledger, but without its aid where should we be ? Perhaps, some will say, it would be much better that the head of this society would use all his gas and brilliancy of intellect, for the purpose of throwing a Ray of light on the movements of absconding debtors, so as to show them up, magic -lantern like, in Liverpool, in time to enable their creditors to see them an. get paid, before they embark for Australia, America, &c., rather than bother about the price and quality of gas, whether in the drawing-room or Kitchen. I shall now pass to the County Court, presided over by a model judge—a judge ,who is counsel, advocate, and judge, for the poorest person who comes before him, as claimant or defendant —when he has the power to deal equitably, he is always just, courteous, and humane ; and, when it is a question of law, he deals out the law, so legally, that I believe his decisions have never been reversed. He has done much besides simply administrat ing the law as he found it. He has memorialised the Home Secretary to allow fraudulent debtors to be im prisoned at Kirkdale ; because the expenses of sending to Lancaster, persons for small sums, made the costs of commitment greater than the original debt. Such persons knowing the cure was a greater loss to the creditor than the disease, held out, and defeated the judge's order. What is the case now ? Why, that small debtors, having the fear of Kirkdale before them, pay. rather than go to prison. Does not J. Pollock, Esq., deserve the thanks of all suitors in his court generally, and the tradesmen in Liverpool in particular ? I hold him a benefactor to society, who endeavours to compel all debtors to pay what they truly owe. The county court could be much improved, and the surprise is, that tradesmen do not attempt to make it,—good as it is when compared with the original county courts for 395. lid. only, and at the county town only— much more efficient. This could be done without injury, hardship, or harshness to any one. The costs of enter ing a cause is Ed. in the pound, and the trial of the same 2s. 3d., or together, 3s. 7d. in the pound ; besides wit_ nesses, lawyers, mileage, and often executions. These expenses are much too high; on very small debts amounting to 100 or 200 per cent., and even when their debt amounts to 51., to fully twenty per cent ; I believe it impossible for persons to long stand against suits of this kind, and pay such costs. Yet, the County Courts' Act was :passed for the speedy and cheap recovery of small debts. Creditors would act humanely towards honest debtors, and fairly towards themselves, by moving for the reduction of such costs ; for it does appear to me hard, when a creditor has used every means to get paid before he applies to a court of law, thnt twenty per cent must be paid down on the debt of long standing, before he has the the power, perhaps, to enforce his claim, and then only— by instalments—instalments which allow the debtor time to move, miles away, without leaving his address. If the debtor remains, continued suits and the instalment sys tem, lead invariably to the insolvent court. I intend to say all I know in my next, if it meets your approbation, Mr. Editor, on this same insolvency court. Revenons a nos moutons. What can be more just than when a debt has once been proved and the terms of credit expired, that execution issue forthwith ?—as, I believe, is the case in the superior courts ? Debtcrs who pay 3s. sd. in the pound costs and by instalments, are enabled by such periodical payments to get into a much greater amount of debt, and to "do " people deeper, than they possibly could, had they been compelled to pay at once, in each suit. There is another object worthy the attention of trades men. The superior courts, courts of Queen's Bench, &c., have lately decided that the suit in County Court must be in the court of the jurisdiction where the sale, purchase, or action on tort, arose. Ordinary men, not being lawyers or M.P.'s, wonder why a person living in Liverpool, and whose traveller sells goods at Carlisle, Worcester, Norwich, &c., cannot sue in Liverpool, where the goods were sent from, or where they were sent to. In either case the verdict, in common debt cases, must be the name, and the:costs of attendance also, and no injustice done. So it is not enough that the debtor has goods sent, costs incurred in court, &c., but that the creditor must go to him to sell, and to get paid, he must go to the debtor's door, at considerable inconvenience to himself, and costs also, and even then not sure of being paid, to sue the debtor. Thus are all creditors placed by debtors, with whom all means of getting paid have !ailed, at a great disadvantage, for the creditor may have a dozen suits on one day in a dozdn County Courts, and in half a dozen counties—a cir cumstance that could hardly occur to the sued ; and if it did, the debtor has caused the evil by not complying with the conditions of purchase. You may be told there are the superior courts, if the buyer and seller reside twenty miles apart. To do this would be going back to the old state of things, which was much worse than the present. The lawyers managed to introduce a clause, perhaps not of much importance; but, at least, it appears very unfavourably in the act—that tradesmen, if the debt is under £5O (why not sue for common debts up to 1:500?) must sue in the County Courts, but a lawyer may sue for his bill of costs, however small (are they ever small ?) the amount, in a superior court. Why don't tradesmen petition Parliament for the abolition of this partial portion of the County Court's Act?—lours, &c., T. 0.

PAYNE, Agent. MR. JOHN SADLIER, M.P.-ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURES. There is every reason to believe that when all is known it will be found that the amount of the frauds of which the late Mr. John Sadlier has been guilty will not be much under £1,000,000. First, it has been ascertained, beyond all question, that Mr. Sadlier had forged no fewer than 50,000 Royal Swedish Railway Company's Shares and Obligations, of £5 each, on which large sums of money are raised. This forgery alone is to the nominal sum of £250,000 only ; it is not yet known what amount he was able to raise on the shares and obligations. In addition to these forgeries there are forgeries of several deeds and mortgages of estates, in Ireland. As regards these, however, the extent is not yet known. But, perhaps, the bWdest and most daring forgeries of all, are these which relate to deeds for the purchase of property in the Encumbered Estates Court , of Ireland. These forged deeds purport to bear the signatures of the commissioners,' the registrar, the chief clerk, the solicitors, in the variou s causes, an d t h e com missioner's seal. The extent to which this class of forgeries has been committed may be inferred from the fact that the stamp duty alone on these amounted to several hundreds of pounds. A considerable number of forgeries on private individuals, also, have already been discovered, and there is every reason to believe that o'hers yet remain to be ascertained. These which have been detected are supposed to amount to nearly 4100,000. In addition to the classes of forgeries already enume rated, Mr. Sadlier has been guilty of the assignment of deeds held in trust by him to an enormous amount. The drafts of all the forged deeds and mortgages are in Mr. Sadlier's own handwriting. The forgeries of signatures are, in every case, remarkably successful. Those of the Encumbered Estates Commissioners are said to be so perfect that the most experienced eye could not detect the forged deeds from the genuine. The act of self destruction was, it is believed, precipitated by the circumstance of one of the holders of deeds, relative to the purchase of one of the Encumbered Estates, who having, on Saturday last, gone over to Ireland with his solicitor for the purpose of having the deed registered. Mr. Sadlier endeavoured to frustrate the intention of the party, but failed. On the Continent too, where his transactions were to an enormous extent, great alarm prevails. In a letter, which he is supposed to have written, immediately before leaving Gloucester-square for Hampstead Heath, where he put an end to his existence, he declares that, without the knowledge of any human being, unaided and unassisted, he committed the most diabolical crimes of which it was possible to be guilty, that those crimes must now be discovered, and as they would involve the ruin of hundreds of innocent families, he had preferred to die rather than witness the sufferings which they must endure. The crime of suicide must have been contemplated by Mr. Sadlier for some time before he committed the act, for he had purchased "Taylor, on Poisoning," and had evidently read it through till he came to the chapttr on the essen tial oil of bitter almonds, when he turned down the page as if he had made up his mind. The frauds of Sir Sir John D. Paul, Strahan and Bates, are not much Smaller in amount, but they are tame compared with his. They denote a combination of criminality, boldness, ingenuity, versitality, and tact, such as the world never betore wi tnessed,—Mortaing Advertiser. POLICE COURT. , -SATURDAY LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT (BEFORE MR. E. HARVEY.) AN OLD SINNER.—Three females, one almost a child, named Anne Ryan, Catherine Lynch, and Elizabeth 111 , Guiness, were charged with robbing an old man, named William Thomas, of £4 10s, in a house of bad repute in Disley-street. The details on the part of the old sinner were disgusting, and so the magistrate told hi m . Th e excuse made by him was that he was drunk. In reply to his worship he said he had a wife, and the magistrate advised him to allow her to attend him, in order in future to take care of him, as he was an old fool and worse, an old sinner. The prisoners were committed for two months each. ASSOCIATION FEMALE SHOPLIFTERS.—Anne Mack, Jane Dag nail, Ann Evans, Mary Williams, and Mary Kilbrick, were charged by detectives Povey, M'Colloch, and Home, with having stolen a quantity of flannel, from the shop door of Mr. Thompson, a draper, residing in Mill-street. The prisoners were well known to the police, as expert pro fessional shoplifters, who go about the town, sometimes carrying baskets, the better to disguise their proceedings. The case was clearly proved against them, when they ".kicked up an awful shine" in the court, and, no doubt, if they could have laid hands on the police, they would have spoiled their faces for the next three weeks to come. They were sentenced to hard labour for two months each. STEALING A WATCM—Two elderly and rather decent looking females, named Mary Anne Hindlo and Mary Keenan were charged with stealing a watch, belonging to Mr. Jas. Ridings, Vauxhall-road, and with having pledged it at Mr. Fairhurst's for £3. Mr. Chilton appeared for the prisoners. The line of defence was, that the wife of the complainant had given the watch to the prisoners to pledge. This was denied, and a police constable said one of the prisoners told him, without (his asking, that she stole the watch, and gave it to the other, and both pledged it for £3. They were sent to jail for one month each. FELONY AT A RAILWAY.--Two wretched looking girls, named Dorothy Lewis and Margaret Smith, were charged with having stolen more than a hundred weight of iron bolts from Bootle-lane, the property of the East Lancashire Railway Company. The bolts were in a heap, and on Friday night t►he prisoners were found taking the quantity named. They wero remanded for farther evidence. THE NEW JAIL. —James Wilson and Mar tin Glynn were charged on suspicion of being about to commit felony at the Bramley-Moore dock. It appeared that "Wilson had only come out of Walton jail the previous morning. Mr. Harvey said the new jail did not answer the expectations of the Town Council. The prisoners were sent to prison for two months each. (BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.) STABBING BY A FEMALE.—Betsey Crawford was charged with having stabbed another female, named Mary Anne Hurst. The prisoner and the prosecutrix resided in a house of bad charactcr, in Banister-street, and a quarrel arose between them, when the prisoner struck the other woman with a knife in the arm, inflicting a serious wound. The prisoner was committed for trial at, the sessions. (BEFJRE MR. R. 11.1RVEY.)—FRIDAY. MAY AND DECEMBER.—A girl about 16 years of age, named Mary Anne Hughes, was charged by a man about 70 with stealing his watch. The man gave his name as John Rees, of Grove-place, brickmaker. He looked very foolish, and said he knew nothing of the affair, except that the watch now produced was his property. A young gentleman, named John William Roberts, said he saw the " young girl" and the " old man" in Pembroke-place on Thursday, about two in the afternoon. The old fellow was drunk, and the witness remarked to a friend on the difference of the ages of the parties, and the public immorality which was beheld in the streets. Just at that moment the prisoner took the man's watch and ran off with it. She was followed and the watch found in her hand. The prisoner was sent for trial. REPORT.

Mr, Chilton appeared for the prisoner. The evidence was not deemed sufficient, and Mr. Harvey, in discharging her, observed that the public, and ladies in particular, at railway stations, should be on their guard against young women with smart bonnets. STREET ROBBERY.—A gigantic young woman, whose name was given as Susan Drummond, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from a foreigner, named Antonio Muestre, in Elliott-street, and Daniel Hague, Margaret Jones, and James Goodlad, were charged as her accomplices in the robbery. The complainant, who gave his evidence through an interpreter, is com mander of a Spanish ship, the name not stated, and it appeared that about a quarter past eleven, on Thursday night, he, with three other captains, was passing along the street, when the prisoner Drummond walked up, and, addressing him in an endearing manner, made free with his watch, which she snapped from his pocket, and ran away, giving it to the prisoner Hague. Subsequently, all the prisoners were arrested together. The two first named prisoners were remanded, the others were discharged, IIEER-HOUSE CASES.

The prisoner was an attendant in the house, and from something which transpired, her box was searched, and the spirits found therein. The prisoner cried bitterly, and admitted the fact, but said she had got a glass of drink, and was not aware of what she was doing. She belonged (she said) to Dublin, and would:go back there. She was discharged with a caution. BURCLARY.—John Williams, Archibald and Henry Wittaker, Robert Free, Thomas Gregory and Anne Gregory, his wife, were charged with having broken into the provision shop of Mr. William Hickson, ;202, Vaux hall-road. On Wednesday morning, between one and two o'clock, Inspector Alcock saw Williams, (a " ticket-of leave man "), near the premises, and shortly after he dis c)vered the place broken open. The prisoners were arrested with property stolen from the premises in their possession. They were fully committed for trial. AT NEWSPAPER COLLECTOR CIIARGED WITH Mu- BEZZLINO.---A person apparently about 40 years of age, who gave his name as George Fawcett, was brought up by detective officer Carlyle, on a charge of having em bezzled about 301. the property of his employer, Mr. Bradshaw, proprietor of the Nottingham Journal. The officer said he received a telegraphic message from Nottingham, and in consequence arrested the prisoner in Lime-street, and on telling him the charge, he admitted it, but said he hadlwritten a letter on the 3th of February to Mr. Bradshaw explaining the affair to him, He also said all the salary he had was His a 'week to support a wife and two children, and what could be expected but embezzlement under such circumstances ? In reply to the magistrates, the prisoner said he had a legal objection to the charge, inasmuch as :he had previously informed his employer of his conduct. He !was ordered to bo re manded for further inquiry. Suspicious —A young man, named James Jones, who appeared " gentlemanly," was c h arge d f or having offered twelve yards of satin for pledge, at Mr. Byford's, Dale street. The prisoner was asked some questions, when he offered the property for pledge, but, instead of replying, he ran away. He was followed and secured. It was said that some other cases wore recorded against the prisoner, and he was remanded. On the whole, although unfavourable circumstances bad combined to render th e y ear now under review a less s i, " of cessful one in the d e p os i t anna l s of the society than Yt committee have lately h a d t o recor d , still they lots ba its upon its operations with considerable satisfeettv.i, S9ere judicious inst r u men t a lit y much of the extr,inely .8 ,. e •:111 distress which pre va il e d th roug h out the tow% was essen' l- ds, relieved, and without seriaasly itnivAirinr • d • 6 Its or mar Ti ps Nor can it fail to be Teo, gra.'„iryir g to all to retie"' d '" tba the vast amount of gooa, that must have been done, 8 , 11 : t he vast amount of evil that must bave been averted, w i teir distribution of an large sum. as £11,397 193 Id of ",at own savings amongst the industrious classes of this Pig town.

The prisonc , r, It was stated, had been an officer in the army. There wag; a military air about, him, and he woro a l arge moustache and whiskers. He look e d much older than his wife, but there was an apparent reason for the difference. The lady stated that her husband was in the habit of illtreatin g her, and on former occasio ns s h e had him before him. Mr. Mansfield : 1 remember it ; what did he do to you now ? Witness: Ile came home drunk, and beat me in the most scandalous manner, and when I tried to get away, he took a knife and swore he would cut my throat, and made several attempts to stab me, but I succeeded, fortunately, in making my escape. The prisoner said it was all the fault of drink. He did not know what he was doing when he took drink, but it she let him off this time, he would promise never to drink any more. Mr. Mansfield said that would not do; he ordered the prisoner to find bail in two sureties in t 50/. each to keep the pea ce, or to be imprisoned for hree . BIRTH.
