INSOLVENT DEI
Before the Chief mammon,.
IN RE SOW( RIAN.-0110ANIC SUBITANCES —This in-
solvent was a scientific gentleman, and bad been engaged at
the Polytechnic Institution as a chemical lecturer. Re was
the inventor of a new method of preserving organic tub
stances. and was the author of several other inventions, for
which he held patents. The office of director of the "
*meal Gas Company" had been filled by him, end he was
mow in arrear with the world to the extent of 4,0361. The
impaling creditor was Mr. Murphy, ■ distiller, residing at
Cork, and his objection to the immediate discharge of the
insolvent was, th►t he had contracted a debt under false re-
presentations. A great deal of evidence was adduced, from
which it appeared that tbe insolvent had made ■ppli-
eation to Mr. Murphy for the loan of 1001., which
was granted on the understanding that it was to
be applied to the purpose of taking out a patent for the
o preservation of organic ',Ointment." It was complained
that the money was applied to other purposes but Mr.
Ryan explained that his invention was not sufficiently corn.
pieta for a patent at the time be borrowed the money, so
that he was compelled to expend it in making experiments ;
ind the learned commissioner, considering no cue for a re-
mand had been made out, ordered the insolvent to be dis-
starged ferthwith.

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.
Before D. C. Moylen, Earl., lodge.
TAL CLEII.OI"MAN.PI Doo.—Mara C. THE Ray. W. BlN-
vrafT.—The plaintiff in this case, one of the keepers of K en-
einegton Gardens, !sought to recover of defendant, the Rev. W.
Bennett, of Wilton-crescent, the sum of Bs. ltd. In August
het a Newfoundland dog followed a lee', named Shepherd,
residing in Wilton-crescent, through Hyde-park to Kensing-
ton Gardens. On reaching the entrance, Min Shepherd
celled the plaintiff's attention to the dog, and begged of him
*take care of it, es she was sure the owner would be
very sorry to lose it. The plaintiff took charge of
ie. On the fourth day a young gentleman identified
She dog as belonging to the Rev. W. Bennett, and
k the evening defendant's servant came fur it bringing with
hlm 2e. 6d. as remuneration for the plaintiff, who, having
=minded 3s. 4d. fur" board and lodging for the dog," refused
the 2a. 6d., and sent a letter to the reverend gentleman
Meting the circumstances.—ln anew, r to the case,
it was proved th►t the dog was in the h►bit of
seeming about the park, end would have been sum
le base returned home had he not been tied up, and that
sometimes he wee sent to • menagerie, where only 2s. 6d.
per week was charged for hie keep.—The learned judge said
there could be not the slightest doubt of the plaintiff
keying taken care of the dog from the best of motives, but
as then was no privity of contract between him and the
defendant he could not entert►in the case. If he was to
entertain a cue where no contract, either express or implied,
had been entered into, it would lead to most outrageous pro-
seedings. The plaintiff, if such was the con, might feed the
dog on turtle, and make out a bill, not for fie. Ild., but fur •
much huger sum. He, however, thought that the rev. gentle-
man would not only now give him the 2s. 6d. which he bad at
dent offered, but would pay the expense of that proceeding,
as it would be very hard to cause additional expense to fall

cur of the dog.—Verdict for the defendant.

It • n due to thepociff on sums received for
maws Otainad by the Sops dispute having
oleos el to several items in e account, the plaintiff's
esumel, Mr. Crouch, called on the defendant to

produce the books upon his subpoesa. The defen-
dant mid he had &en only served with the sub-
pcena since he had been in the court, and of course had
no hooks with him.—Mr. Crouc't said the sobpsenu were
issued on S sturday, and the neglect was with the officer of
the court; he could not proceed with hi• ease without the'
books, unless he was allowed to give secondary evidence
through the plaintiff.—The Judge : Mr. Crouch, as a bar-
rister, you must know that it is not the way to give secondary
evidence; if you want the case to be adjourned, you must
pay the oats of the day.—Mr. Crouch What, air, pay the
oasts for a neglect of an officer of the court ? the plaintiff
paid the enormous fees for the subpcenas on Saturday, and
they ought to have been served.—The Judge : I have de-
cided, and the ease must proceed. The plaintiff again
repeatedly endeavoured to explain the difficulties,
but wan constantly rebuked with threats of committal
if he Iproceeded.l I A seen* of the utmcst confusion then
ensued, both the plaintiff and the defendant mutually wish-
ing to retire for • short time, and go through the items ;
when the judge sa., dhe should put an end to the case. The
defendant made an admission that the sums had been re-
ceived ; he should bind him by that, and make an order for
15!. 91. 5d., and disallow the other items; but as no attorney
i was present, he should give no coos for attorney or counsel.
The plaintiff said he had already paid the fees. The judge
was inexorable. The following are the fees paid by the
plaintiff in this eue . Summons, 11. en. 10d. • hearing and

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
_ OLD COURT,-Before the Baader.

FALSE PRETEN CE11../0471R;717,y surrendered to take his
trial for misdemeanor, in obtaining 801. ]Ss. from Edward
Oldfield by fax pretences.—Mr. E. Oldlield, the prosecutor,
was then called. He said he carried on the business of •
corn-dealer, at Hyde, near Kingsbury, and he had been ac-
quainted with the defendant for three years. On the 17th
of March he called upon the defendant, who at that time
curled on an extensive business as a horse-dealer, at hi,
stable., in Dorset-square, and the defendant produced a
bill of exchange far 8.11., which purported to be
accepted by a person named Henry Terry, and
asked him to discount it for him. He told the
defendant he did not like to take any more bills
with Terry's name as the acceptor, because his last
bill had been noted, and the bankers did not like to discount
his bille, and he wished to know who Terry was. The de-
fendant replied that Terry was a very respectable man, and
that hie bill was as good as • boat-note; and he also said
that he was a West India merchant, and that he had ware
houses in the West India Dock, and held an appointment of
6001. a yea- in that establishment. Ile likewise said that
the bill was given for a horse he had sold to Mr. Terry,
and which he had shipped for India. The bill wan made
payable at the Bull Inn, Aldgate, and upon witness
remarking that it was extraordinary a gentleman in such
• position of life should make his bill payable at an
inn, the deferdant replied that the reason he did so was
that he did not wish his clerks to know that he gave bills ;
and he added that Mrs. Nelson, the owner of the Bull Inn,
and Mr. Terry were like brother and sister, and had been
acquainted a great many years. In consequence of these re-
presentation, he was induced to discount the bill, which was
never paid, and the defendant shortly afterwards was declared '
a bankrupt. He gave the prisoner in all 801. 15s. for the 8.51.
bill.—The Recorder asked the prosecutor what rate of in-
terest he charged as discount I—The prosecutor replied that
the defendant himself suggested that he should have Is. in
the pound upon the amount of the bill, which had two
months to run. Ho had had many similar transactions
with the defendant where he had taken bills when he
sold horses, and the amount of interest depended upon
the amount of his profit. In this cue the defendant
said he had made 201. out of the horse, and he therefore pro-
posed to give one shilling in the pound as interest. —The Re-
corder did not think the amount of interest was material in
this case. It was only 30 per cent —The prosecutor said he
had frequently lent the defendant two or three hundred
pounds without receiving any interest ; and he believed him
to be a very respectable man; and upon the faith of his re-
presentations regarding the respectability of the acceptor of
the bill, he was insured to discount the bill in question.—
Cross-examined He had had a good many money transac-
tions with the defendant: and from his opinion of his re-
spectability he believed the representation he made.—Upon
being further cross-examined. the prosecutor said that he
had discounted a number of bib, before this transaction for
the defendent,which bore the name of Terry, as the acceptor,
and ernes] of them bad been dishonoured.
Mr. Ballantine, for the prosecution, was then about to
put in as evidence against the defendant, his examination
before the Commissioner, in the Bankruptcy Court, when it
appeared he admitted that Terry was his brother-in-law, and
that he was not • West India merchant, but, in point of
fact, was in poor circumstances, and that the bill in question
, was accepted for his accommodation, when
Mr. Prendergast, for the defendant, objected to this evi-
dance being received, and argued that a statement made by
a bankrupt under such circumstances, when he was corn-
, pelled to answer the questions put to him, ought not to be
made use of to support a criminal charge.
A long technical discussion ensued, and at length Mr.
Edward Clerk, the solicitor who attended before the
Bankruptcy Court to oppose the bankrupt, was called
as a witness, and, in answer I. questions put to
him, he admitted very candidly that the questions put
to the bankrupt were framed expressly with a view to make
out the present charge against him.—The Recorder upon
this, said he should reject the evidence so obtained, as he
considered it was contrary to natural justice and to the prin-
ciple of the law of England, that a man who was in the
position of the defendant should be compelled to answer
questions, without any caution, purposely framed with a
view to prefer a criminal charge against bins.—Mr. Salen-
tine then said this was the whole of the evidence he had to
adduce in support of the charge—The Recorder expressed
his opinion that, independent of the statement of toe 1
defendant, which he had thought it his duty to reject,
there was nothing to show that the defendant had I
made any false representation, and under his direction
the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.—There was a
second indictment against the defendant of a similar chars*.
ter, but as the evidence was precisely the same as in the
former case, it was not gone into, and • verdict of Not
Guilty was recorded, without any evidence being offered.
Moat Fuel PairrEtcts.—John Bull, 26, described as
an agent, was charged with obtaining a bill of exchange for
2001. from John Alexander, by false pretences.—Mr.Hud-
dlvtone prosecuted. Mr. Clarkson appeared fur the defend-
'ant.—lt appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that
he was a draper, and carried on business at Kele°, in Scot-
land. In May last he saw an advertisement in the Clearly
Herald, which stated that • sum of 12,0001. wu to be ad-
vanced. He answered the advertisement to the address in
London, and received • reply from the defendant, in
which he offered to advance 2001. upon his accept-
, anee, with the endorsement of a respectable party,
and enclosing a bill for that amount drawn by
the defendant. The bill was accepted by himself, accord-
ing to the custom in Scotland, by writing his name under
that of the drawer ; and his brother wrote his name across
the face of the bill, as the indorser. He shortly afterwards
received another letter from the defendant, in which be
stated that the instrument could not be negotiated in Eng-
, land in that form, and enclosed another draft, with the form
in which it was to be accepted and indorse 1. He filled up
this second bill, wed transmitted it to the defendant, but no
money was sent in return, and, on his coming to London to
make inquiries into the matter, he ascertained that the de-
fendant had endeavoured to negotiate the first bill he sent to
him, and that the statement of its not being drawn in proper
form was merely a false pretence to enable him to obtain
the second bill from him.—The jury found the defendant
Guilty. and he was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour_ for two years.

POLICE.—YzsrzaDAy.

MANSION HOUSE.—Saawsn's PROTECTION ACT.—
The Lord Mayor, in adjudicating in certain seamen's cases,
said he considered it to be his duty to observe that the pro-
visions of the Bth and 9th Viet., cap. 116, commonly called
the " Seamen's Protection Act," were of the highest benefit
to those whose occupations necessarily brought them in con-
tact with seamen, as well as to the seamed themselves ; and
his lordship declared that the EtETiCE must receive very im-
portant advantage from the activity displayed by the Board
of Trade in the matter of the prosecutions which were so
vigorously carried on against delinquents.—Seven seamen,
named Marriott, Entptage, Coles, Ktdby, Vanrandt, Rochr,
and Binning*, were charged by Captain Kirby, master of
the Prince Albert, of London, with hiving deserted
his vessel at Chatham on the 4th' instant. Mr.
Coleman attended with ILO register tickets of the
prisoners, from the office of the Registrar-General.
—The captain deposed that he was master of the Prince
Albert, and that the prisoners s4ned the ship's articles in
London, on a voyage to Cronatadt and " back to the United
Kingdom, to her final port of discharge ;" and that be de-
livered part of his cargo at Chatham, and during his absence
the crew left their work but retorted to the vessel on the
following day, when, however, they refused to work, con-
sidering that they had arrived at their destination. Having
government stores on board which required to be immediately
delivered, he, together with the owner of the vessel, remon-
strated with the seamen, and pointed out their error, but
could not convince them that they were at all in the wrong
until they summoned him before the magistrates at Chatham
for the balance of their wages, for which the bench refused to
make an order, they not yet having arrived at their" final port
of discharge." Upon the announcement of that decision the
men consulted together and would then have returned to their
duty, but in consequence of the necessity of the immediate
delivery of the government stores it had b;"en necessary to
engage a steamer with other hands to tow the vessel to
Landon to accomplish that object within the stipulated time,
and the extra expense incurred by the obligation to do so
amounted to 251.—The Lord Mayor : How much was due to
the seamen at the time ?—Witnets : About 41. to each.—ln
anise( r to the charge Marriott, who stood &mud as spokes-
man for all the defendants, denied altogether the imputation
of desertion, as applied them, but admitted their refusal
to work at Chatham, which refusal they grounded upon the
reasoning that their agreement terminated at the lint port
at which they discharged any of their cargo. He added that
when it was explained to them by the Chatham magistrates
that they were wrong la the construction of the act, they
returned to the vessel, but the reamed to receive
thew—The Lord Mayor having Se ship's articles
and consulted Mr. Goodman, the eidelaisek, said the seamen
might have thought that their terminated at Chat-
ham, and that the charge of isesetfsaa bad not been made
out ; but the act of parliament Made a distinction between
" desertion" and " refusal to perform duty," an offence of
whictithe prisoners had been guilty, and as the master had
the power to deduct the extra empress incurred by their
cooduet from*, reps dm to them, he should recommend
that some arrangement should- be made between them and
the muter and owner.—The parties having retired, it

was found that, after the deduction of the extra expenses,
the sum of five shillings was due to each, and the men ex-
their willineness to receive that amount —The Lord
Lrisye: hosing been informed of the arranyrement effected,
advised the defendants against the repetition of such conduct,
and assured them that if the charge of desertion had been
proved against them, he should, as he bed done in every
other case' have inflicted the full term of imprisonment (30
days), and he trusted that the lose of nearly 41. per man
would operate as an adequate punishment on the present
occasion.
BOW-STREET.—STEALINO A POST-OFFICE ORDER.—
Henry Newton was re-examined on a charge of forging the
nom* of Andrew Waldron to • receipt for a Post-office
order, amounting to 155., and receiving the same, the pro-
perty of the postmaster-general.—Mr. Peacock, jeer., con-
ducted the prosecution, and Mr. Balhuitine attended as
counsel for the prisoner.—Mr. Cornelius Wamby, a tutor,
residing at Oakley House, near Ledbury, stated that on the
31st August he was indebted to Mr. Waldron in the sum of
155., when he wrote to him at his chambers in Clement. inn,
enclosing the amount. Having received no acknowledgment
he wrote again in a week.-- F. Jenkins, a draper's aasistant,
from Luton, in Essex, said thaton 30th Aug. Mr. Waldron en -
gaged him to manage his business for a week, haring repre-
sented that he was going to Liverpool to superintend the sale of
Americankoods for which he was the agent. On the same day
the prisoner came to him, and after eseerteining that Mr. Wal-
dron had obtained 471. Ios. from him, he said, "Then you
are swindled ; for he has also taken from the chambers goods
' belonging to me," advising witness to follow him to Liver-
pool, as he had reason to know that he intended to sail for
America, and also to write to Mr. Dowling, the inspector of
police, dictating the letter to that functionary, and giving
him the names of parties be was to call upon ; in conse-
quence of which he handed him the keys of the chambers,
and proceeded to Liverpool, but could not find Waldrop;
and on his return haring told the prisoner that he was ad-
vised by Mr. Rea, secretary to the Guardian Society at
Liverpool, to open all letters arriving for him, and to get
cashed any money orders they might amain, be asked that
the keys might be returned to him which he deposited with
the prisoner ; on his representing that he was responsible for
the rent of the chambers, being 351 a year, and that the
Axtures were his, he immediately restored them, together
with eleven letters, all of which witness handed to Waldron
en his return to town, and related to him all that had occurred
in his absence.—Crossexamined ; Heard that Waldron did
not go to Liverpool, but to Newcastle upon•Tyne.—By the
wart He opened some of the letters in the presence of
ethers, but the prisoner had already opened the letter in
question and read it to him.—Mr. Waldron said that on leis
return to town he received from the last witness oil the
letters except the one in question, and subsequently he got
a communication from Ledbury respecting the money
orders. Ho had known the prisoner about three
years, and had no doubt that the signature to the
receipt was in hi. handwriting.—Mr. Peacock said that
several other witneues who were not in attendance could :deo
speak to the handwriting, and applied that the prisoner
should be remanded for that purpose.—Mr. Bellantine sub-
mitted that the prisoner was entitled to be admitted to bail,
and he was ordered to enter into his own recognisances in the
sum of 200/., and two sureties in 1001. each to appear again
in a week.
MARYLEBONE.—ROBIIERY or WATCHES, &e.—C.
Slimier was charged with having stolen a number of silver
watches, a metal ditto, a gold case, and • silver guard-chain
from the shop of Mr. J. Morris, a watchmaker, in Margaret-
terrace, Harrow-road. Prosecutor stated that on the same
afternoon, at two o'clock, he went down stairs to dinner,
having prey iously locked his shop-door and left the key in-
side ; in the COMM of ten minutes be wu informed that ho
was wanted, as there was some one at the door, and on his
running up he found the prisoner in the parlour; he imme-
diately collared him, when prisoner struck at him twice and
made his way out at the door; prosecutor followed him, and
saw him take from his pocket • handful of watches, which
he threw into • chaise-cart standing a short distance off, and
then ran away ; he (prosecutor) picked up from the vehicle
three silver watches and a gold case, and while in the act of
doing so another man, who was seated therein, slighted, say-
ing that he would follow the prisoner,who had mode his escape.
Prosecutor added that he kept possession of the horse and
vehicle while parties were gone in pursuit of the thief, and
that they were ultimately taken to the green-yard ; a hat
sod whip were left behind in the shop. Other evidence
was gone into showing that the prisoner was ultimately
taken into custody at a marine store shop keeper's in North
Wharf-road, into which he had run on finding that he was
hotly pursued, and that on the moment of his entry he
thrust three other watches and a chain beneath a quantity
of rags which were in a basket noon the counter ; singular
as it may seem, a person named John Rogers, who was
mainly instrumental in capturing the prisoner, discovered,
amongst the three watches last alluded to, one of his own,
which a short time previously he had sent to prosecutor lobe
repaired. The prisoner stands committed upon Mr. Morris's
eharge ; but will be brought up again next Tuesday.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Cauriox TO °wont:B
PASSENOERS.—Mr. James IVrighl, of 42, Bath-street,
City-road, was summoned by Charles blaillard, the conduc-
tor to one of the Hampstead omnibuses, for refusing to pay
him his fare. The complainant said the defendant got into
his omnibus in Holborn, and got out at the corner of Ox-
Iseletreet, whenhe refused to pay more than threepence ; the
lee was sixpence. The defendant said he refused to comply
with the complainant's demand because he felt that he has
been made the victim of a trick, and because he was deal-
rumor protecting the public, and more especially females,
against this trick, which he understood was frequently re-
torted to. The complsinant's emoilatu had the words
“Holborn—Oxford-street " on it in large letters, so as to

lead the public to believe that the omnibus traversed Ox-
ford-street, whereas it only passed the corner. When he got
into the omnibus be told the eond uctor to set him down atDuke-
street. The conductor did not say anything to undeceive
him with respect to the route of the omnibus, and he only
found the matter out from hearing a person make an inquiry
of the conductor. When he got out at the corner of
Oxford-street he tendered the conductor 3d. for his
short ride, as that was the charge of the regular
Paddington omnibus; but the conductor would not take
the money, and pointed to the writing outside of the om-
nibus. He looked closely at the writing, and found the
words "corner of," in very small letters, placed close to the
words " Oxford-street." This evident attempt at imposition
made him resolve to try the question of the legality of the
conductor's demand.—Mr. Hardwick considered it was un-
fair towards the public that the words should be so placed on
an omnibus as to induce people to believe that the route of •
vehicle wee in a particular direction, when the fact was not
so. The defendant had, however, positively declared that he
named Duke-street whea he got into the omnibus, and he
must dismiss the summons against him.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN ONE OF THR LOCK-EP CALM.—
Caroline Bradbury was charged with being drunk and
creating a disturbance at one of the West-end club-houses.
Mr. Hardwick sent her to prison for 21 days.—Just before
the arrival of the van for the removal of the prisoners the
discovery was made that Caroline Bradbury had forced a
penknife into her throat, and had made a wound of about an
inch in length. She was immediately removed in a cab to
Middlesex Hospital, but after the wound was dressed, it
being the opinion of the medical man that nothing serious
was to be apprehended, she was eventually taken to St.
Margaret'. Infirmary.
WESTMINSTER.—ROBBERT.—MichaeI Mahoney was
charged with breaking into St. Mark's College, Chelsea, and
stealing several sets of mathematical instruments, a great
number of books, wearing apparel, and other property. Oa
last Sunday morning it was discovered that some person had
effected an entrance into the college, as it was supposed, by
one of the staircase windows, which was insufficiently
secured, and several sets of mathematical instruments, books,
and wearing apparel had been stolen from the lecture room.
The Rev. Dr. Coleridge, principal of the college, was imme-
diately acquainted with the circumstance, and, as the pri-
soner, formerly a pupil at the college, but expelled about
nine months ago for misconduct, hail subsequently been
found coacealed on the premises, and committed for a monk
from this court for the offence, su'picion was directed towage
him, and he was taken into custody on Monde
when a great portion of the missing property was
—The Rev. Dr. Coleridge and • number of the
at the collegr, identified several sets of instruments,'. a
vast number of which completely covered the large table of
the court, and some wearing apparel. Two pawnbrokers
produced other property (also identified), and one of them
secOsninot the prisoner as the person who pledged it at his
=dm the pledges were taken in some days ago, it is
that the accused, who was, of course, inti-
mate with the locality of the premises, must have paid as
undiscovered visit to the college a few days previously.—',l
' Joseph Hansom, 122 V, said that a person named Turner,
ionnected with the workhouse of St. George's, Hanover-
squire, had met with the prisoner, and lodged him in the
station-house of the C division. He (Turner) had found
some of the property upon him.—Policeman Robert Meilen
said he had searched the prisoner's room at 22, George-street,
Grosvenor-equare, and found a great portion of the property
produced.—Mr. Brodcrip remanded the prisoner for • week,
in order to proeure the necessary evidence to complete the
ease.

LAMBETH.—WHOLESALU SWINDLING BY bIIANO OF
rlcrtrioros Cumat.as.—Mr. C. Hick', who hu been in
the army, was brought before Mr. Elliott for Soal
eiainin.don, on various charges of obtaining money upon
false and fictitious cheques. The prisoner, it appears, has
gone through a somewhat lengthened career of imposture,
and succeeded, by drawing cheques to the orders of officers in
the army, and making them payable at the °Hoes of Messrs.
Cox and Greenwood, and other respectable army agents,
La
making many victims. The evidence in four or we clear
eases was taken, andthe prisoner wag fully committed for trial.
Exczes tvz FEEL—Frequent complaints having been
made to the magistrates of this court, by poor people
resident in the parish of Clapham, of the extensive fees
charged by the brokers levying for pawn' rates, the con-
stable of that parish and Mr. Joseph Dickson, the parish
broker, attended te hear the complaint of a person named
