AGAINST A CUSTOM-
HOUSE Aciamr..—N. Saunders, who has far some time car-
ried on badness as a custom.house agent, at 66, bower
Thames-street, was brought up, charged under the sth &
6th Viet., an act to amend the law relating to advances
bond fide made to agents intrusted with goods, the 6th
section of which provides that—" if any agent intrusted
with goods shall, contrary to or without the authority et
his principal, for his own benefit and in violation of good
(nth, make any consignment, deposit, transfer, or delivery
o(any goods so intrusted to him, as or by way of a pledge,
lien, or security, &c., he shall, upon conviction, be sentenced
to transportation for any term not more than 14 yearn, nor
leas then seven years ; or suffer such other punishment, by
fine or imprisonment, er bi both, as the court shell award."
It appears that the prisoner had for several months
past acted as agent for Messrs. Le Blonde, of Rouen,
who are manufacturers of mousseline detains and other
article' for fancy. dresses, from whom, in the course of
business, he was in the habit of receiving large consignments
for transmission to the various wholesale houses in the metro-
polis. In the early part of last woniti, seven large bales, of the
value of upwards of 5001, were consigned to the prisoner, three
of which were directed to be forwarded to the following, viz.,
Messrs. Leaf, Messrs. Peterson, and Messrs. Whites'; by
whom they were never received, which circumstance having
been communicated to Rouen, Messrs. Le Blonde came to
London, and finding the prisoner absent, and being unable
to gain tidings of any of the bales, the police were informed,
and hail succeeded in treeing three of the bales. worth 2141.,
to the possession of a person named Solomons, of Leadeohall-
street, who had given for them 1401. to a . party who had
them from the prisoner. The other four bales have not yet
been traced.-51. J. Le Blonde, one of the prosecutors, was
examined by means of an interpreter, and identified the
geode—The prisoner was remanded for a week.
MARYLEBONE.—OUTRAOCS ON TIIE POLICE.—W.
Joy, J. Selby, and F. Hewitson, were charged with assault-
ing the police, at three o'clock in the morning. Hewitson
wastaken into custody by Dean, 351 3, for knocking at some
doors in Seymour-street, Euston-square, and the other
two prisoners were shouting and otherwise making a dis-
turbance ; Healey 227 3, desired them to go on quietly,
when Joy struck him several times violently upon the eye.
Assistance having arrived, he was secured and conveyed to
the station-house. On the road, Henley was again assaulted
by him. Selby also collared and shoe& him, with the view
of extricating Joy; but the whole party, who were much the
worse fur drialc, were at length locked up. Joy and
Selby denied having acted exactly in the way
sworn to, and complained of the officer, Healey,
having used unnecessary violence towards them before
he was "truck or interfered with in any way:—Hewitson had
nothing to say.—Mr. Long, without inflicting any fine,
ordered. Joy to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for
a month. Selby was fined 205., and Hewitson 10s.—Joy
said that if he was sent to prison his prospects would be
ruined for life; and shortly after the case had been dis-
posed of, an elderly gentleman came to beg the magistrate
to substitute any penalty he might think fit instead of allow-
ing the sentence of incarceration to beano ied into effect: the
ground upon which he had come forward to intercede fur
the young man was the respectability of him and his family,
—The magistrate remarked that the respectability of the
person, who ought to have known how to conduct himself
better, was an aggravation rather than an extenuation of the
offence, and refused to alter his decision.
SOUTHWARK.—ILL-TREATMENT OP A BROTHER.—J.
Organ, a baker, residing in Harper-street, Newington, was
charged with cruelty towards his brother, upwards of 70
pan of age, who was rendered incapable of attending the
11Z1111dRation.—Mr. Brook., one of the relieving officers of
Newington, stated that in consequence of hearing reports
that the prisoner was acting with great cruelty to his bro-
ther, witness went to the house on the preuding afternoon,
and saw the prisoner in the shop, and made some inquiry on
the subject. The prisoner manifested a strong disinclination
to give him any informatiou, but he insisted on seeing his
brother, and the prisoner at last led the way to a small
apartment in the upper part of the house. On entering the
room wirnees was shocked on perceiving an old man lying
on a miserable bed in a filthy state, his flesh begrimed with
dirt, his beard allowed to grow to an excessive length, and
the nails of his bands and toes in the same con-
dition. Vermin were crawling about is all direction,
and the place altogether presents el a scene of the utmost filth
and wretchedness, so muck so, that he could not endure to
remain in the room owing to the stench arising from the
eo-adition in which the unfer.unate invalid was permitted to
remain. He remonstrated with the pet ones, who merely
said that the old man was an invalid, and unable to leave
his bed, and that he did not complain of the treatment he ex-
perienced, always having sufficient food and drink. Inspec-
tor Valentine confirmed the statement et the witness in all
particulars with respect to the neglect exhibited towards the
old man, sad added, that the filth and stench proceeding
front the room were so overpowering that be was compelled
to leave the room. In reply to Mr. Cottinghnm, the re-
lieving-overseer Paid that he had no denbt the old man was
the owner of the property, and that be was rated in the
parish books. The prisoner said that his brother was 70
years of age, and that he himself was 61 ; that his brother
had been for the last twelve-months labouring under a ner-
vous disease which incapacitated him front attending to his
business, and that he (the prisoner) being in his employ as
journeyman, conducted the business from that period up to
the present time. Ile had been attended by Mr. Beast, a
medical man, formerly, but not for some time; his complaint
was a nervous one, and prisoner thought the doctors could
not do him much good. The magistrate required the pri-
soner to enter into his own recognisance, 401., and to find two
sureties of 20/. each, to appear at that court, in order to give
the psrechial authorities an opportunity of preferring a bill
of indictment spinet him.
WESTMINSTER.—Ronntso A SAILOR.--J. Saunders
and It. Chalmo, alias Roberts, two well-dressed men, were
charged with robbery.—The prosecutor, R.Seett, a native of I
St. Helena, was steward on board her Mwesty's steam-ship
Prometheus, lately arrived from Africa, when be received
481. ss. 7d. On coming to town, where he was a stranger,
the prisoner Saunders picked acquaintance with him, pre-
tending to be also a stranger in London ; he took the prose-
cutor to a public-house, where they were met by the other
proner. After making a great show of what appc wed to
be a number of sovereigns Saunders' prepostd, that as
they were all in a atrarge place, and did not know their
friends from their enemies, they should wrap their money
up and take ears of it, and three pieces of paper were pro-
duced, in which each wrapped his own money Saunders
putting what the prosecutor supposed to be his money, in
his fob for him. They then all left the house, and after
proceeding a short distance Saunders pretended that he had
left his handkerchief in the room, and asked prosecutor
to run back for it, which he good naturedly con•
united to do; but on arriving at the door of the
public-house, be suspected that something was wrong, and, on
examining his fob, found i small parcel containing tobacco
had been substituted for his notes and gold. Of course the
fellows got away, but were followed to Doncaster, and
apprehended. Since the robbery the prosecutor, has
been dependent for subsistence upon a good-hearted
stranger who became acquainted with his misfortune.—
Mr. Harrison, the proprietor of the Duke of York, where
the prosecutor had been taken, positively identified
Chalmo as one of the men with the prosecutor at his
house. He had very little doubt that Saunders was the
other.—Shaw proved having seen the prisoners together re-
peatedly before the robbery, and in St. James's park on the
very day, about two hours before it was committed. He
produced a purse containing 45 pieCts of gilt brass, closely
mumbling sovereigns, which he found, with a pack of pro-
firesioual playing cards.—Mr. Burrell committed them foe
trial at the Central Criminal Court, refusing to take bail for
their appearance.
THAN ES.—Exeurisiva Su o o t.nro.—N. Stonat, mate
of the Greek vessel Belle Esperanza, was re-examined,
charged under the Bth & 9th Viet., cap. 87, with unshipping
150155. weight of cigars, which had not paid duty, ',hereby
the revenue was defrauded to the amount of upwards of 194
The Esperanza arrived at Falmouth from Malta 'brut the
middle of lest mouth, and was boarded by a tide-wnitir,
who, after leaving out what he considered a sufficiency of
cigars to serve the crew uatil the vessel arrived in London,
placed the remainder, which were in boxes of 100 each, in
several bags, which he staled down with the official seal.
On the Tenet being boarded in this port it was found that
there were only 6,309 to 6,700 cigars on board. Two of the
crew gave information, from which it appeared that whilst
the Esperanza was lying in the Downs a boat came along-
side, and in three trips to the shore took away nearly the
whole of the tobacco, for which they paid the mate in
gold coin, the captain being present at the time—The
prisoner was charged on a second information laid under other
clauses of the act, and similar evidence was adduced. For
the defence it was urged that the cigars had been smoked
on board, each man consuming upwards of twenty-five per
diem, but even this liberal allowance was found to be far
short of the quantity missing, the crew being no more than
fourteen in number.—F. Patr'rei swore that the men who
gave evidence were ill in their hammocks all the time the
vessel was in the Downs, and that the tobacco was never
brought on deck. As, however, he appeared determined to
swear anything, and it being further stated that he had
gone to the lodgings of the witnesses of the crown and threat-
ened to use his knife against them, his testimony did not go
for much.—Sentencid to six months' hard labour.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.
Is an Fak•cte BUCHANAN lioans.—This was the day
appointed for the adjourned last examination of this bank-
rupt, who was described as of Lincoln's-inn-fields, printer,
and whose name was before the public some time since under
the head of Police Report, relative to his transactions with
Mr. Bohn, a bookseller, of St. James's.—Mr. Bagley attended
on behalf of the Bishop of Winchester, who was trustee, of
the board of first fruits, and sought to prove as trustee for
money which was deposited with the bankrupt with a view
to the re-erection of a church at Camberwell, which, however,
it was alleged had not been so built. A day or two since, an
assent was given by all the creditors, and signed by the com-
missioner' by which the flat would be superseded ; and has
Honour had, therefore, now no power to interfere in the
matter.
A BILL TRANSACTION. James Williams, • dealer
in bonnet came, came up to pass his last examination as a
bankrupt. Ho was supported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed
by Mr. Duncan, for the assignees, who stated t at the case
had been adjourned front the 30th of June until this day in
order that, in the meantime, the bankrupt should hand in
an account which be had made in May, 1840, showing his
affairs to be then insolvent, and at • time when he made an
assignment to Mr. Wilson of all his stock, &c., of the value
of 8861., for a debt alleged to be due to him amounting to I
3,7451. ; but that he had not done.—The bankrupt was exa-
mined by Mr. Duncan. and stated that, at the time of giving
the assignment to Wilson, a release was drawn up, but he
never had it. About thin time he owed 2001. to other cre-
ditors, although they were not stated in the balance-sheet,—
Mr.
Duncan here stated that in the former balance—sheet Mr,
Bartlett appeared as a creditor, but did not appear in the
amended balance-sheet, upon which he now sought to pass.
He wished to know how the omission arose, and whether the
bankrupt had read over his accounts at all, as he appeared
so very much confused with them ?—The bankrupt replied
that he had read over his accounts, and the CUM of the
omission of Bartlett's debt was that it had been paid before
the assignment took place. He had paid a bill of 621. to one
Phillips about this time, but there was no account of it in
the booka, and the bill was not now produced.—His Honour
said it appeared the bankrupt knew nothing at all about his
accounts. The transaction with Phillips was very suspicious,
and the case must be, adjourned for the production of the
bill.—Mr. Cooke, for the bankrupt, said that he would pro-
duce it. He (Mr. Cooke) wished to draw the attention of
the court to the fact that the bankrupt had no allowance,
and therefore hoped that any adjournment would not be st
the expense of the bankrupt, whose estate would pay a divi-
dencl.—Mr. Duncan said that a dividend was dependent upon
certain law proceedings, and as truth wan all that the aisig-
urea wanted to arrive at they would pay the expenses of an
adjournment.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
Beare Mr. Caonnissloner Phillip%
ACCOMMODATION BILIR .71N RE III:011 BARTON.-'

insolvent was described as a Brevet Major in the 63rd Reui
meat of Foot, and them of General Sir Robert Barton ; sis
debts amounted to 5021. 12a. Bd. He was unopposed.—Mr.
Commissioner Phillips, on examining the schedule, found
that the insolvent had been dealing in •aceommodstion bills
to a considerable extent, and that several of his debts were
of small amounts to poor tradespeople. These two circum-
stances induced the commissioner to question the insolvent
as to hie means, when he stated that he had an allowance, of
801. a year from his father, besides a reversionary interest in
same property of value, and in justification of the debts he
had enntracted, he declared that at the time of contracting
thew he had every reasonable expsctation of being able to
pay them.—Mr. Commissioner Phillips observed, that al-
though in this case there was no opposition, yet it be-
came the duty of the court to investigate whatever
appeared on the face of tfie schedule to require explanation,
and it certainly did appear that the insolvent, in the present
instant's, had incurred debts in an unwarrantable manner.
The discretionary clause would be a mere nullity, if the
court were to allow itself to be debarred from applying it is
such cases as this, notwithstandlog no creditor felt it nooses
eery to call for the court's Interposition. The general prin-
ciples of justice, and the interests of creditors at lam,
demanded that such conduct method of the insolvent shodid
be visited with the anireadvendon of the court. He lbw*

The latter stivertise a limit, quantity of indigo for the
Octoberaale. the largest, in Met, of any house. which
shows their importance in the trade. Their means
are not supposed to have been large, but their con-
nexion has been such in the circle of " Friends" as to
give them, in ordinary times, an almost unlimited
command of money for the prosecution of their affairs.
Later in the day another stoppage was added to the
disastrous list. It transpired that the respectable
East India honest of Samuel Phillips and Co. had sus- ,
pended payment. Their liabilities in bills, payable and
receivable, are about 140,0001. They could, it is said,
have commanded assistance to meet their immediate
difficulties, but declined it under the present state of
affairs. At Glasgow and Manchester fresh occurrences
of the same unfortunate import have taken place,
whilst, with ns, there is little doubt that other
firms have today closed their doors not again
to open them for trading purposes. To name
the whole of the parties said to be inextricably in-
volved, would at present be premature. Some of
them, at all events, may struggle through their diffi-
culties, if the proper indulgence be only extended to
them.
The consols market has been flat, without any very
decided variation in prices, comparing those last quoted
with the closing ones of yesterday. They left off 854
for money, and 85.1 to for account; Exchequer-bills
par to 4s. prem. The latter were done at par during
the day, and money was altogether more scarce, the
Bank having again advanced its rate, for loans on
stock, from 5 to 5; per cent., leaving the minimum of
discount the same.
It was account day in the foreign market, and
prices have continued nominal. The dealings were of
no moment. Portuguese Stock, 23 to 5; Belgian, 90
to 2; Brazilian, 81 to 2; Five per Cent. Spanish, 19

The October indigo sale will, it is believed, be put
off on account of the unfavourable state of the money
market.
At a meeting of the creditors of Meie-ra. Robinson
and Co. held to-day, it appeared that the assets of the
house were 104,0001., the liabilities 96,0001., leaving a
surplus in favour of the estate of 8,000/.
We mentioned it on Wednesday (as a subject of
complaint), that the Washington steamer was adver-
tised to leave Southampton for New York on the same
day in October as the Caledonia was appointed to de-
part from Liverpool for Boston, and we advised that,
for the convenience of the mercantile public, arrange-
ments should be made for the sailing of these vessels
alternate weeks. Our remarks were not lost upon
the agents of the Ocean Steam Navigation Company,
who now announce that their vessel, the W'ashing-
ton, will leave Southampton on the 24. h instead of on
the 19th of October, as previously fixed.
