This insolvent, one of the *odorants of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, applied to he discharged from the Queen's
prison. He was opposed in permsby several creditors and
supported by Mr. Cooke. Mr. Parry was instructed to op-
pose for the executer of a Mr. Phillips.
In this cue the deb's and liabilities, running over a long
period, exceeded 7,0001., and there were a treat many cre-
ditors on the schedule. More than 1,0001. warn owing to the
serjeant by attorneys for feu. His attributed his insolvency
to the throwing open of the Court of Common Pleas; to
serious illness, and to heavy law expellees. He appeared in
a very weak state of health, and seemed deeply to feel his
painful position before the court.
The several creditors complained that their debts had been
incurred without means of payment.
The insolvent, on his citemination by Mr. Cooke, stated
that when he took Mr. Bamford's house at Richmond, in
April, 1847, be expected some committee business in paha-
latent. A gentleman, who was a near relative of his wife,
promised him business to between 3,0001. and 4,0001. in that
year, and he was deputy chairman of a railway. He did not
gut the promised business. When he took Mrs. Latham's
house he fully expected to be able to pay the rent. He had
more than 1,0004 owing to him for fees.
The fierjeant, in answer to further questions, said he took
the coif at a great expense, and two years afterwards the
Court of Common Pleas was thrown open to the profession.
In the two years before 1946, when it was thrown open, his
receipts were from 900/. to 1,0001. a year. His income was
thus reduced one half.
Mr. Cooks having made a powerful appeal on behalf of
the insolvent, the opposing creditors, after considerable hesi-
tation, consented to accept the offer which was made by the
insolvent, vie., to set aside a fourth of his income for the
purpose of liquidating his debts.
The insolvent entered into a rule of court to set the money
aside, and was discharged.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

CH•RGE OP ATTEMPTING TO ROB • STNAGOOTIL—J
Lazarus was charged with heels, been s.creted in the new
synagogue, in St. Helen's, with intent to commit a felony.
On We•:neslay, at half-past five o'clock, when it was
supposed by the officers of the synagogue that all the con-
gregation had departed, the prissner was found above stairs
in a room reserved for the ladies. The beadle, who obacrved
that the prisoner had a bag under his coat, gave the alarm
to the secretary, who immediately directed that the prisoner
should be conveyed to the station-haus'. Subsequently,
close to t he spot in which the prisoner was apprehended,
was found the bag, which contained a ecrew‘lrivcr, with
which it was believed attempts had been made to fores open
certain dersitariis in the old synagogue in Duke's-place,
where serious plunder had been committed some days
before.

The secretary to the new synagogue said the prisoner
stated upon being questioned that his father was a member
of that place of worship. The prisoner was a Jew, and must
have kr.own that from the place in which he was found men
were always excluded; and he must also have been ac-
quainted with the customs of the place.
A policeman stated that having heard of a robbery in the
old synagogue, he took the screw-driver which had been
found in the bag and compared its point and edges with the
marks on two chests which had been broken open in a room
leading to the ark, and he found a complete correspondence
Deters, n the instrument and the marks.

The secretary is the old synagogue said- that on Friday
last it was discovered that two boxes which contained money,
and which were deposited in • room supposed to be very
secure, had been wrenched open and plundered. The boxes
were made of copper, with bras padlocks, and the padlocks
had been wrenched off by thieves between Thursday night
and Friday morning. An attempt had been also made to
break open the doors of the ark, in which it was customary
to keep valuable property belonging to the great synagogue.
Mr. Sidney, who appeared for the prosecution, requested
that tte alderman would remand the prisoner, whole only
excuse for being in such • place was that he merely had
occasion to go to the water-closet, until more evidence could
be brought forward.
Mr. Lewis, for the prisoner, contended that titers was ne
evidence upon w►ich a remand could be justified, and sub-
mitted that his client must be at once discharged.
Alderman Gibbs said the bag with the screw-driver in it,
and the fact of the robbery In the old synagogue, put toge-
ther, formed such strong grounds of suspicion, that a magi-
strate would nit be justified in taking bail for the appear-
ance of the prisoner in that stage of the inquiry.
The prisoner was then remanded.
