INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

WEDNFSDAT, AUOUST 19.
James de Thierry, latent' Cambridge, came up on his petition to
be discharged. The insolvent is a seri dapper little gentleman, of
very delicate address. No one appearid to oppose his discharge ;
but the following colloijay passed between the Insolvent and the
Court. The insolvent had been arrested by his tailor.
What are you at Cambridge ?—Nothiog at all, Sir.
What, nothing ?—Nu, Sir, my brother is a collegian there.
What age are you ?—I was just coming to 21 last December.
Arc you entitled to anything ?—No, Sir, not anything now, and
I don't know that I may be entitled to anything.
Is your father living?—Yes,
And have you no allowance I.—None whatever.
Were you brought up to nothing?-1 was not, Sir, brought up
to anything.
What is your father ?—( We did not hear distinctly odes answer
to this question.)
What is your elder brother?—My elder brother. Oh, he is a...

not of age when I the clothes.
That, Sir, is a very shabby excuse for not paying foe them. You I
kept them and wore them, you know.
The insolvent signified that he did, and added that he had en-I
deoroured to make an arrangement with his creditors.
The Curer intimated that his conduct was very discreditable,
and that Ills furnly ought to pay his debts.—The insolvent was then
discharged.

The COURT wag unwilling to appoint Mr. Codd as is 1104111110
under the Court, upon legal grounds, as some disputes might trim
between himself and the other ercoitors. But it seemed Imbued to
waive this objection, and asked Mr. Coda if lie would use due dill.
gence respecting Mr. Pearson's debt ?
Mr Coild said he could not go into the insolvent's estate en ac•
count of the trouble.
The Cou RT Observed, that it was the duty of an assignee to ed.
lect debts, and minutely investigate the insolvent's affairs. It dwe-
ll= appointed another person us assignee.
In the course of the examinadun Mr. C. applied to have some
port of the iosolvenes half-pay appropriated fur the benefit of his
creditors; but the Court thought, as it was only M. a year, pro.
vided the insolvent lived prudently in future, he could not spare,
much out of so limited an income.
The insolvent, in answer to a question put by the Court, said l
had no other dependence.
No order affecting his half-pay was made, and the insolvent was
discharged.
Augustus Samuel limit, late of Tottenharn-court.reapll yarn
late of Canterbury, jeweller; Levi Simmons. late of Wilson-
street, Whitcehepel, hawker; were discharged without opposition.

exteNsive iron-works of his client. This fsompany had endea-
voured to obtain an Act of Parliament for this purpose. but were
defeated, and we now charge them with attempting to do illegally
that to which they could not obtain a legislative sanction. The
ease was one of the utmost consequence, not only to the indivitlunts

John Ghotgow, master of the ship Promise, appeared at this office,
before W. Ballantine, Esq., the preauling klagistrate, to an in-
formation which had been filed agsinst him, charging him with
having on board a quantity of gunpowder, contrary to the statute.
Mr. Ponstord, one of the officers belonging to the West India
Dock Company, deposed, on the 9th instant he, the witness,
searched the Promise ; she was then lying in the Black Wall Basin,
ped found a cask of gunpowder, weighing 71h., which he, the
witness, seized ; the witness at the time asked the defendant how
Ye came to be so imprudent as to take a quantity of gunpowder
into the dock, and the reply was, be did not know of its being
there.
The defendant said he could only state, that until the officer
came on board he had not the slightest knowledge of the gunpowder
being there, and was quite certain it must have been taken in before
he joined the ship.
The Magistrate said, that the defendant's ignorance of the fact

A JUI

Yesterday WrWorese, aged 14, was effirged at Hatton-garden
with having broken open a box, anti taken out of it six sovereigns, in
his mother's house. a respectable widow woman, residing in Cross.
street, I latton.gsrden. She had applied the preceding morning at
this office for assistance, when she described het son to have been
in the continued habit of robbing her for years, and that no effort
on her part could reclaim him. He bad now become the leader of
a numerous g.ing of young thieves, from the age of 12 to 18, who
carry on a regular system of robbing their parents, and then
ab-
sconding for days together, associating with the lowest prostitutes
of the town. Every exertion was made to aFprehend the youth,
and this morning he was taken in a coffee.shop, off Fleet-market.
With the six pounds of which he robbed his mother, he hired a
gig, In which he took one of his companio,is to Gravesend, and after
expending the money, returned to commit fresh depredations.
On the preceding night, a son of Mr. Howley, a respectable
ncws.vender, in heather.lane, a youth about seventeeu years ;
age. was brought up, as one concerned in this gang.
Mr. Howley reminded the Magistrate, that on former occasions
he had brought his son before hint, in the hope of producing some
salutary effect, in which he was disappointed ; that he bad broken
open boxes, and robbed him at various periods of sonic valuable
watches and jewellvry, whicit were bequeathed to him ; that ha
had tried every method, both conciliatory and coercive, to reclaim
the youth, but when he skewed the least symptom of amendment,
las soon as he met his old associates, he degenerated again. As he
absconded at the same time with Douse, and was seen at Gravesend
with him, be had him apprehended on his return. In a drawer in
his room was found a pistol, with powder, &r. and as he has be.
come so refractory of late, Mr. Howley conceived himself in dan.
ger of his life ; hispurposes were very auspicious, especially as he
begged to rcinaia in his father's house until Thursday next, and
then that he would apply to the Humane Society, to put him in
way of honest livelihood.
They were both remanded until Tuesday next, In order to give
time for the appreheffieon of nearly twenty more, whose names and
haunts are known, but who, taking the alarm, have absconded.
The feelings of both parents, being compelled, for their own
safety, to come forward sod prosecute their children, can be better
imagined than described.
