Thomas Hammond Terry was oppoeeei 141 Mr. HEATH, on be-
half of Mr. Henry Collard, one of his . ajesty's Distributors of '
Stamps in the District of East Kent.
Theinsolvent, it appeared, bad been in the employ of Mr. Col-
lard, as sub-distribunw and agent, in whom he reposed great eon.
fidence ; but it appeared, in the end, that he became a very consi-
derable defaulter, and it was on the ground of this deficiency that
the present opposition was raised to the insAvent's discharge.
On his examination by Mr. IIEAT/1, the insolvent admitted that
he borrowed 301. of a Mr. Jeffrey, with whom he deposited a box,
eentaining the will of his grandmother, and other documents relative
l ' tohis emp end hls An ',slain.. ite%
On reference to le it appeared, that no mention or al-
lusion was mailed es required by neat Parliament.
He denied that he r. Jeffrey that the will contained a be-
quest front his gmedinether to him of 1,8001. 3 per Cent. Can-
ards, or that he received any money from him at the time he
made the deposit.
Mr. II EAT II called Mr. Jeffiwy, who had been subpcenaed to
ptoducc the box ; but he refused to be sworn, unless his travelling
expenses were first paid. His demand, however, was suds, that the
other party would nut dissent, and Mr. Heath therefore proceeded
with the insolvent, who Sent on to state, that the origleal will was
in the box, but he had not administred to it for want of funds. He
never went by the name of Terry, but was known only by the name
of Thomas Hammood. He had advertised his present applies-
tion in hi+ proper name, adding, that be was sued as 'rhontits- I f.am-
mond. ills debts amounted to upwards of 5,000/., but for 3,0001.
he had never received any, consideration.
Mr. HEATH called on the insolvent to explain, when he (the
insolvent) insinuated that his late employer had received monies
on his account,which be had not placed to his credit.
Mr. HEATII—Do you mean to impute to Mr. Collard, that he
has received money c your account ? 1
Insolvent—l do not mean to impute it to him. I think it very
likely lie did in my absence. The insolvent went on to state that
he bid disposed of 1,7001. of stawps to divers persons, for which he
had not been paid, bet he appeared unable to name any oue with
whom he had had traesactious of this description.
Mr. HEATH said that he had an important case to go into, but
for the present he should desist, as it was impossible to proceed in
the absence of documents; and he submitted that the insol-
vePt had nea-dacnbeel himself, and that he must re-advertise.
The onus lay on him to produce the will. dc. as it was evidently a
document available under hia &Alignment. The Learned Gentle-
man informed the insolvent the: he would be expected to produce

BOW-STREET.
A young woman, of the name of Mary Irak, has undergone
several long examinations at this Office, before Mr. Hasse, on a
charge of stealing some articles of household linen, a blue silk
watch-case, and other trifling articles, the property f Mr. Arch-
bold, the Barrister. The case, odicrwise of no unportance, was
rendered curious by the extraordinary defence set up by the pri-
soner.
The principal witness against the prisoner was a young woman
ranted Elizabeth Simperinghain, who lives in the opacity of
housekeeper at Mr. Archbold's, in Burton-aescent, the prisoner
filling tile situation of housemaid in the family. This witness
stated at the first examination that she had from time to time
missed towels and sheets, and some stockings belonging to her
master and mistress, and she suspected titer prisoner, bemuse she
was the only person in the house besides herself who could take
the things. She at length made a search throughout the house,
during the temporary absence of the prisoner, iced found several of
the missing thim,, in a chewer which she had fa her own use in
the kitchen, and other articles in her box up stairs, and between her
bed and mattress. She also found two or three things between
some boxes near the wine cellar. When the prisoner returned, the
witness told her of what she bad found, and asked her what she
intended to do with the things she had taken. The prisoner began
to cry, and said she was sorry for what she had done. This dis-
covery took place on a Mutitlay, and on the following Monday she
informed her master of it. Lack, a constable, was sent for, and he
found a pair of her master's stockings under the prisoner's bed.
Be also went with the witness to a house in Eagle-street, Red
