LNSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTEZDAY.

lima. Ma. Coinimumet Lsw.
IN at W. P. ViESTLIRY.--SWIPLNSION OF AN AT-
TORNIT.

- .
This case, which bad been several times before the court,
and in which a complaint was made against Mr. John Shat-
sock, an attorney of the court, was now concluded. The
insolvency had arisen in consequence of an accommodation
acceptance given by the insolvent to a butcher, named
William Shattock, who placed it in the hands of his brother,
John Shattock, an attorney, to be discounted. The bill was
discounted, but William Shattock got no portion of the
proceeds, and John Shattock alleged that he was in his
debt. The name of a brother-in-law, Keering, was on the
bill, but he denied that it was his signature. There was a
gad deal of evidence given in the case on hoth rides.
Mr. Commissioner Law expressed himself of opinion that
Mr. John Shattock had not answered the complaint made
against him. It was through his conduct, in whose hands
the bill had been placed, that the insolvency had been occa-
sioned. His Honour ordered Mr. John Shattock to be sus-
pended from practising as an attorney of the court. The
insolvent had his final order granted. Permission was
granted to Mr. Shattock to conclude the cases in band.

IN RE SAMUEL MINET.

The insolvent is 83 yean old, and had been in Cambridge
pol nearly eight years. A petition was filed about seven
years ago, and no schedule. The insolvent now wished to
proceed, and to change his attorney without paying his
costs, on the ground that be had waived his sight, as he
had sued the insolvent and become plaintiff, so that the
relationship had been changed.
Mr. Dowse, for the insolvent, submitted that the order to
change attorneys should be made without payment of the
costs.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips thought it was a very nice

question, and would oewsult the other
subject.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT —ATI MCAT Jri Y 14.

The business at the Buckinghamshire Auizes has been
so unusually slight, that only one court was held today,
presided over by Mr. Justice Cresswell. The Lord Chief
Itaron yet remains in town. The court was opened at
11 o'clock, and all the business was finished in the after-
noon. One person was sentenced to 10 years' transporta-
tion for setting fire to a hayrick belonging to Mr. Williams,
farmer, of High Wycombe. This was the only case of a
serious nature. There was only one civil action, a debt of
5341. claimed by Mr. 11. Humphrey, tanner, of Bucking-
ham, against one of his customers, named Mr. John Dolly.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—ABINGDON, JULY 14.
The commission for the Berke assizes was opened this
afternoon, at the Court-house, by Mr. Justice Erie and Mr.
Baron Martin. Their lordships afterwards attended divine
service at the parish church, and to-morrow morning they
will sit for the despatch of business.
There are no less than three distinct and very serious
charges against Mr. Joseph Candwell, of North Ilineksey
House, near Oxford. lie is to he indicted for conspiracy
and perjury, arising from some money-lending transactions
with collegians, and it was originally intended that the trial
should take place at Oxfi.nl, but a few weeks since leave
was obtained from one of the superior courts to remove the
trial to these assizes, in consequence of the great prejudice
existing against him in and around the city of Oxford. The
third charge against him, and the moat serious of all, is
that of shooting at an undergraduate with intent to mur-
der him.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—DEVIZES, JrIX 14.
The commission for the Wiltshire assizes (now held first
on the Western Circuit) was opened this day by Mr. Justice
Coleridge. The learned judge w.is, as usual, met and es-
corted into the town by the high sheriff, G. M. M. Esmeade,
Esq. After the opening of the commission, his lordship
attended Divine Service in St. John's Church. Lord Chief
Justice Campbell arrives to-morrow morning. The calendar
is unusually light, containing the names of 17 prisoners
only, and most of these arc charged with offences of a com-
paratively slight nature. On the nisi prius side four causes
only are entered for trial.
