TASOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERDAY.

Brrnaa Mm.

IN rill --01-7.-61-1•79--ULAZ CASS.

Mr. Nichols applied on the part of the insolvent for •
day to be named for the protecting order under singular
circumstances. The insolvent, who had been a miller at
Sunbury, Middlesex, was heard under the Protection Act
some time back, and Mr. Macrae, the barrister, opposed for
• creditor named lmpey. No day was named for the final
order, with leive to apply fur protection in three months.
Being without protection, the insolvent was arrested, and
esnfined in Maidstone gaol. Subsequently he applied for
a protecting order and discharge, and obtained both with.
out giving notice to Mr. Dopey. An application was
afterwards made to the full court, and the protecting
order was rescinded because notice had not been given,
and the insolvent left without protection, with permission
to apply in a month. The order was rescinded on the 6th
December, and on the 21st nf the same month he was ar-
rested at the suit of Mr. Impey, and was now confined in
Gloucester Gaol. As the month had expired, the present
application was made to have a day named for • protecting
order.
The chief clerk (Mr. Simpson) raid, that as the insolvent
was now in Gloucester Gaol, an order must issue to the
keeper, to bring him before the court.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips directed an order to issue to
the gaoler, to bring the insolvent up from Gloucester, and
fur a day to be named when he might apply for a protect-
ing order.
The 31st inst. was appointed for the farther hearing of
this singular case.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-JAN. 12.
Balm MB. WITIUM.

George FeMick serreTie7atOi.ake his trial for stealing
a quantity of hone hair end other property, belonging to
William Douglas, his master.
The prosecutor was an upholsterer and cabinet maker, in
Lowndes-street, Belgrave•street, and having reason to sus-
pect something was wrong, from a man with a bag having
called several times at the factory for the prisoner, and
having an one of those occasions been into the prisoner's de-
partment of the premises, he questioned him about it. At
first he merely said there was nothing in it ;" but Mr.
Douglas insisted on his taking him to the individual him-
self, and after some hesitation, the prisoner took him to the
shop of a person named Jannaway, a pawnbroker and iron
and store dealer, in Exeter-street, Knightsbridge. Mr.
Douglas inquired of him what business he had on his pre-
mises, but he made no answer, and all that could be got oat
of him was, that if Mr. Douglas called on the following
Monday he should have an answer. Fellside, who was
present, said, " Do you remember me coming to you about
stuffing a sofa ?" or something of that kind ; but Jannaway
merely said in reply that he bad other business to attend to;
he would not answer them, but would on the
Monday following. That being Saturday night,
the prosecutor paid the prisoner his wages, and
discharged him, until the matter should be
cleared up. The prosecutor at that time charged
3 y with having tampered with another of his men
about baying some wood, but he would make no answer.
The prisoner and a boy were given into custody fur steal-
ing horse hair, sofa springs, and some blind roller ends,
dte., but the boy. was discharged. The prisoner sold the
roller ends to an ironmonger.
William Jannaway deposed that the prisoner came to
him on the 12th of November and showed him some horse
hair as a sample of 2 cwt., which ha said he had got to dis-
pose of, and asked him to buy a mattress of him. Witness,
when he saw the hair, said he had
before, and the prisoner told him he could have the lot at
6d. a pound. Hs bought what he bad with him, l 6 lbs.,
and the prisoner asked him to come to his place, 30, Ca-
dogan-mews. Accordingly he went, and the prisoner
asked him upstairs. He went up, and thought he was
dealing with the owner of the place. After some conversa-
tion, he bought 36 lbs. more Kai' , and took it away. This
see ind lot turned out like fibre dyed and other stuff, and
quite different to the first. He bought a tick of him for
s'. Bd. He bought the springs produced, but could not tell
from whom. He saw no name over the prosecutor's door.
He only made one purchase on the premises. He did not
answer the prosecutor when be called with the prisoner be-
cause it was Saturday night and he wasvery busy.
The prosecutor identified the property, and said his
name was over his promises, sad say one but a blind man
would hews seen it. .

Janaaway paid he sold the hair at Bjd. per pound.
Several jurors having ezunined the specimen produced
said it was worth le. 4d. per pound.
Theprepe presecutor said the prisoner had no authority to sell
his rty.
Mr. Ballantine, in his address to the jury, denounced
Jannaway in the strongest terms as a receiver of stolen
ods
go.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and several of them
said their opinion was that Jannawsy ought to be placed in
the dock.

—Mr. Witham said he hoped the police would keep a sharp
look cut on Mr. Jannaway's shop, and bring him forward
when they could get a case against him. Be was anything
bat waisted with his conduct or the evidence he had given,
and the police would look after him. The property clearly
bad been stolen by the prisoner, and the sentence upon
him was that he be kept to kind laboar for Mx calendar
months.

TEE POLICE COURTS.
GUILDHALL.

Thomas Bronson, one of the stewards, and Jams, Elsergesa,
chairman and trustee of the City Society of Onerative
Painters and Glaziers, held at the Golden Lion, Fore-street,
were summoned for unlawfully refusing to pay the sum of
15e. to James Barber, to which ha was entitled according to
the rules, as a sick member.
The complainant stated he had been receiving 15s. per
week during the last sixteen weeks, which bad been stopped
on the ground of infringement of the society's laws. He
received notice from the secretary to that effect, but not
stating in what the infringement consisted. He had, how-
ever, since ascertained from some of the committee, that he
had been seen serving in his shop while on the sick list.
He kept a tobacconist's shop which his wife usually at-
tended to, but on the occasion complained of be was una►le
to go out of the house on account of the weather, and as
the doctor had ordered him to take a little exercise, he,
with the consent of the visiting stewards, attended to the

Thesh. _
The defendant said the complaint was that Barber was
serving in the shop from 10 till 12 o'clock at night, while he
was receiving relief as a sick member, and as the rules did
not allow him to be out at unseasonable hours, and the
stewards had not sanctioned his working in his shop so late
at night, the committee considered the laws of the society
had been infringed, and therefore stopped the further
allowance of sick money.
Alderman Wire said his interpretation of the words,
" And if such member shall be seen at work, or assisting at
work," did not apply to a casual attendance in a shop, but
to the work or business of a painter or glazier. The fact,
therefore, of the complainant being seen serving in his shop
while on the sick list of the society was not in his opinion
assisting at work within the meaning of the rules, and he
must therefore make the order for payment of the amount
Maimed.

A respectable looking young woman, named Gen, a
servant, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for his assistance under
the following peculiar circumstances.—ln December. 1852,
she left her situation with a lady at Tunbridge Wells, and
came to London, when she applied to the "National Insti-
tution for hiring Servants," No. 46, Bedford-row, for the
purpose of becoming a member. Her name was taken down
and she paid ss. Her mistress was applied to for a cha-
racter, and skis forwarded a letter to the institution speaking
highly of her. She (applicant) however procured a situa-
tion herself, at Henwell, and on applying to the institution
for her character, they refused to give it to her, and although
she explained to them that the lady at Hsnwell would feel
perk ctly satisfied with the written character, she could ;not
prevail upon them to deliver it up to her, and thus she was
kept out of her situation, thrown on the world, and
prevented getting her livelihood. She wrote to her mother
at Tonbridge, requesting her to apply to her late mistress
for another written character, and explain the circumstances
as to the detention of the one she had already given her by
the institution, but this the lady refused to do, saying she
would not be troubled any further in the matter.
Mr. Tyrwhitt thought it a very peculiar proceeding on
the part of the institution, and directed an officer to accom-
pany the applicant and mike inquiries, and, if possible, to
cause the character to be delivered up to her.
They shortly afterwards returned, and said the institus
riots refused to deliver up the character, it being contrary
to the rules.

/dr. Tyrwhitt said that the National Guardian Institu-
tion cut anything but a respectable figure in the affair, and
might depend upon it he would bear the cucunastance
in mind.

The poor young woman left the court in great grief.
