IN TIM MATIMR Op JAMES FI2I3IIIIICIL MUNCILS.—
HIWITLMMI CONDUCT.

This insolvent—a Guiana joarneyman tailor—with a
profusion el hair oa his fuse, wee opposed by Mr. Stupon
for a young Welohwomaa named Sarah James. lie was
supported by Mr. Nichols.
I The complaint against the insolvent was, that he had
defrauded the young womaa of 601., and ha seduced her.
It appeared that b same from Cionnasy in ISO, and soon
afterwards he became acquainted with Sarah is... who
was • servant girl. They became intimate, and he soon
afterwards began to borrow money of her, she having made
deposits out of her earnings in • savings bank.
In the whole be had obtained sixty pounds of
her, besides a silver watch, as a loan. On one
occasion she 'deuced 281. to pay the duty on Dome goods
sent from Germany. In April, 1f448, she left her plats to
be married, but he put it off, saying the chartists were about
and it was a bad time for business. Subsequently he ob-
tained further sums, and in September lut she found he was
paying his addrewees to another young women, and whilst
in the street be soli her that U it was anywhere eke he
would "murder" ker. Sarah Jamie stated that he had
repeatedly promised to marry her, and she believed him to be
true. She had ascertained that he wee now married. It
was after he had effected her ruin that he promised her
marriage. She had lately been a cook is an hotel at the
Weetead.

Two letters were read, which were sent by the insolvent
from Germany to Sirab James, in affectionate terms, in
which he spoke of introducing her to his parents as their
daughter.
The insolvest,on his examinatloa, denied the promise of
marriage. He admitted he was now married. As a jour-
neyman tailor he urged about It. a week. His admitted he
had the money of Sarah James, but she " forced " It upon
him, and would never let him alone. He spent some money
on her arising from the sale of the gooes sent from Germany,
in trips to Chorused and Greenwich. She was in the habit
of coming to where he lived, and making such " rows," that
he we. obliged to go with her. She went with him to
Gravesend atter she knew he we. keeping company with his
present wife, and she said she dithat care so long as be would
go with her, and she paid the expenses. The watch was at
• place to be repaired.
Mr. Sturgeon said it was a gross ease of heartless conduct
on the part of the insolvent; be had seduced and robbed the
you% women.
Mr. Nichols represented the parties as equally Indiscreet,
and that the money bad been spent on themselves.
Mr. Commirioner Law reviewed the cue. His laspres•
rion was that the money was obtained oar • promise of mar-
rim* which the insolvent never intended to perform, and
the connexion which had subsisted was not likely to encou-
rage. He should require further evidence before he disposed
of the case. Probably he should adjourn the ease for a long
period in the expectation that it w. aid be seated, and if that
was not done then give a Nigro:lent.
The insolvent was remanded till Wednesday to Horse-
monger-lane Gaol, where he had been committed on a judge's
order as about to leave the country. He was ordered to
bring the watch he had of Sarah James on the next occasion
