LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 20.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE GERMAN WHEATCROFT.
This insolvent, a lieutenant in the 6th (Enniskillen)
Dragoons, whose case was before the Court on Saturday,
again appeared. Mr. Nichols opposed the application
for discharge on the part of Mr. Salumens. Mr. Lucas
appeared for two creditors named Harris and Lazarus.
Mr. Macrea opposed for a Mr: Evans. Mr. Cooke, Mr.
Dowse, and Mr. Sargood Aupported.
The case on the present occasion occupied several
hours. Two points were urged in opposition—namely,
that the arrest was friendly, and that the petition should
bw dismissed; and, secondly, if the petition was sus-
tained, there should be an adverse judgment, for con-
tracting debts without reasonable or probable expecte-

tion or payment.
It appeared that the insolvent, who is now only 22,
obtained his lieutenancy in the course of last year. His
pay was 1041. a year, which was not sufficient for
his mess expenses. His debts were about 2,5001.,
arising (with the exception of one) on bill
transactions, and he ascribed his insolvency to
the facilities of getting money on the discount of
bills. Whilst be was stationed with his regiment in
Dublin, he received circulars from " agents" of money
lenders, offering him accommodation. A person named
Schwabacca was one, who had introduced him to some
of the opposing creditors; and another, named O'Grady,
had raised him money from Mr. Evans. Of the nine
creditors on the schedule, six resided in Dublin; ono in
Derbyshire, who had arrested him; one in Limerick
(Mr. Evans), and one in London.
The insolvent said that officers in the army received
circulars every month from money ',enders or their
agents, offering them advances. He had been charged
from 60 per cent. for the advances. Mr. Salomons, a
jeweller in Dublin, who opposed, held bills for 2791. 17s.
ad., and the money obtained was only 1701. The bills
had been renewed, and on each occasion he was charged
large sums. Mr. Lazarus was a creditor for 1531. 10s.,
the discount of bills, and all he had given was 911. 16s. 9d.
Mr. Harris was a creditor on bills to 8051. 155., and ho had
advanced 5501., the remainder being discount and charges
on renewals. Mr. Evans was a creditor for 2251., and the
advances were 180/. The insolvent's father, who resides
at Winkfield Park, Derbyshire, had made him an allow-
ance when he entered the army, but discontinued it, as
his son sent back a 10/. note he had forwarded for his
expenses. Recently his father had paid 3301. to trades-
men for his son, but refused to pay what he termed
" Jew debts." An offer of ss. in the pound had, how-
ever, been made, and refused.
On the first point of the opposition it appeared that
the insolvent was arrested in London, at the suit of Mr.
Hodgkinson, a friend of the family, who had advanced
6501 towards the purchase of the lieutenancy, because
the father had refused to make the advance. The insol-
vent was arrested against his wish by an arrangement
with the town solicitors of the family. On the second
ground of complaint it appeared that the insolvent had
spent the money ho had raised, and that he expected to
raise 1,000/. by an exchange into a regiment going to
India, by which he could have paid, with an expected
assistance from his father, his creditors He had applied
to the Horse Guards for permission to make the ex-
change, and had been refused.
Mr. Nichols, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. Macrae addressed
the Coact, contending that the petition should be dis-
missed, or a judgment pronounced, for improperly con-
tracting debts. It was a case of great extravagance,
and it was not because the creditors had charged some

40 per cent., that they were to be denied the protectio❑
of the Court.

Mr. Coors, in his address to the Court, complained of
the conduct of the opposing creditors. It was to them
or to their agent that the ruin of the young gentleman
was to be attributed. They had tempted him with
money, charging him most usurious terms ; they had
pandered to him, and forced money upon him, looking
to his father for payment ; and now they came to this
court askteg for its protection by way of judgment.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER gave judgment. Cases
like the present were connected with circumstances
which were to be deplored. This was the case of a
young man just bursting into life, plunged into
debt, and an applicant for his discharge. It
was the lamentable facilities given to young men at the
Universities and in the army that had occasioned the
fall of many, but he did not remember to have heard in
other cases of an " agent" betwee❑ the parties seeking
out the young men to lend them money. He (the Chief
Commissioner), after the evidence given, could not be-
lieve that the arrest was a friendly one, and as the peti-
tion was to be sustained, the question was, what case
had been proved against the insolvent? Which of the
five creditors was entitled to the protection of the Court?
There was not one among them who bad not contributed
to or occasioned his downfall. It was clear the young
man had been sought out—that money had been ad-
vanced in the manner described; and, in his opinion, it
was not a case in which they had a claim on the Court
for its protection. His Honour, after saying that he
did not tbink he was acting contrary to the spirit of the
Act in ordering the insolvent to be discharged, declared
that he was entitled to the benefit of the Act, and or-
dered him to be discharged forthwith.
Some applause followed, which was instantly checked.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Three man were brought up, in the custody of Daniel
Forrester, upon an odd sort of charge.
Mr. Muliens, of the firm of Bush and Muliens, soli-
citors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against
Felonies and Frauds, appeared before Sir R. W. Carden
upon the occasion, and said,—The three men now be-
fore the Bench are not charged with having committed
or contemplated any offence, but the circumstances
under which they appear here are calculated to excite
surprise, and it is necessary that I should state them in
order to show the danger to which men may expose
themselves by carrying a joke too far. One of those
men presented a bill of exchange, purporting to be for
2501. 17s. V., for payment at the counter of Messrs.
Barclay and Co., in Lombard-street. The clerk at once
saw, from the mass of absurdities upon the face of the
bill, the original amount of 141. 175. 3d. having been
roughly altered into 250/. 17s. 3d., and other appear-
ances not less ridiculous abounding in the bit of paper,
that the person who presented it was hoaxed. Upon
inquiry, it was ascertained that Mr. Patrick, who
had presented the bill, had, in the presence of
Fisher and Ricketts, who stood with him be-
fore the alderman, been expressing a wish that good
fortune would come in upon him in the shape of a sum
of money, to enable him to purchase a good biscuit-
business, and that one of the latter produced an old bill
of exchange of the date of 1846, for 14/. 17s. 3d., which
the other altered into the larger amount, and handed
over to the grateful borrower, clapping at the same time
the name of Barclay's firm upon the back of the useless
paper. Although there is not the slightest suspicion
that any one of the persons who figured in this strange
matter had any dishonest intention, it was considered
necessary to direct Daniel Forrester, upon whose pru-
dence and experience reliance could be placed, to make
the necessary inquiries, and it was by him ascertained
that the parties are respectable, and that nothing more
than a joke had bean contemplated.
The two persona to whom blame was to a certain ex-
tent attributable declared that they never entertained a
thought that the matter would have occasioned more
than a momentary merriment, and that the presentation
of sn old ballad would be just as likely to produce any
serious consequences.
Sir R. W. CARDEN said, that jocular experiments of
this kind were exceedingly dangerous, and if the cha-
racters of the persons who appeared before him had not
happened to be unexceptionable, and the bankers satis-
fied with the explanation which had been given, he
might have found it necessary to mark the case with
something more than an ordinary censure. As it was,
the case was at an end.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Hall, alias Webb, was brought up for further
examination, charged with having passed several forged
51. notes.
The prisoner was fully committed, but ordered to be
brought up again in a week, as it was suspected there
were other charges of a similar character.
Mr. Chapman, one of the committee of the Servants'
Home, in Rose-street, an institution for the purpose of
providing shelter and protection to young women when
out of a situation, brought two young girls into court
for the purpose of applying to Mr. Hardwick, the
sitting magistrate, on a matter which had just come
to the knowledge of the committee, and which was of so
serious a character that it had been immediately resolved
to lay the circumstances before a magistrate.
A modest-looking girl came forward and said she
had been invited by another girl, an inmate of the
same institution, about three weeks ago, to take a
walk, and had been taken by that girl to a house in Port-
land-road, where she had been introduced to a person
who had attempted to commit a capital offence, but the
attempt had been frustrated owing to her cries
and resistance. She did not state what had happened,
but on discovering that the same girl had induced ano-
ther of the inmates to promise to accompany her to
made
same gentleman's house in the Portland-road, she. d
a communication to the matron, who at once informed
the committee of what had been stated. Aastetreh of ap-
pearedee- to be a strong presumption thratelaeasy
could be es-
trapping young girls for immoral
tablished, the committee determinedpu onr taking magiste-
rial advice on the case.
Mr. HARDWICK, having questioned the girl, immedi-
ately directed a warrant to be issued against a person
who had assaulted the complainant,
_and yesterday Mr.
Richard Amble, surgeon, of No. 1, Yortland-road, was
brought in custody to this court, and placed before Mr.
Bingham.
Mary Ann Newberry was then sworn. She said,—l
am nearly 18 years of age. I am at present staying in
a charitable institution, No. 9, Rose-street. One of the
girls, Harriet Berrington, a, clergyman's daughter, asked
me to take a walk about three weeks ago, I went with
her, and she took me to a house, No. 1, Portland-road.
I stayed in the kitchen, and Harriet Berrington went up
stairs. She remained so long that I sent the servant up
to say I could not wait any longer. She came down,
accompanied by the defendant, whom I had never seen
before. I was asked to go
and the defendant the drawing-room,stairs. I went into
did P I said, asked me
defendant

The .
few
but came out in aHarriet Berrington,
minutes and locked her in the
bed-room. The defendant then locked the drawing-
room door, and a short time after wards he took me by
the shoulders, and dragged me down on the floor, and
attempted further violence, but I kept screaming loudly,
and resisting him. I heard the girl Berrington kicking
at the door while I was screaming. In consequence of
my screaming the defendant desisted, and I got up and
immediately left the house.
Mr. BINGHAM asked if the house in Portland-road
was a house of ill-fame? Mr. Chapman said it was a
private house, where the defendant carried on business as
kourgeon.

Mr. l3rNortem asked if there was any other case?
Mr. Chapman said tiore was no other case. The other
girl h,,tl only been asked by B-4riugton to go to the de-
fendant's house, but she had been stopped from going.
The complainant said Berrington had told her the de-
fendant had persuaded her to bring as many young girls
to him as she could.
Mr. BINGHAM—WeII, I am ready to hear the defen-
dant's answer.

Defendant—l am perferely innocent of the charge. I
had no felonious intention. Miss Berrington's father, a
clergyman, lived in my house, and I was very kind both
to father and daughter; in fact, I almost supported both
of them. The daughter sometimes called upon me, and
once when she called she told me she was staying in a
place of refuge near Soho-square. The last time she
called she brought a young girl with her. That girl had
been three or four tunes to my house before, and had
taken wine with me, Instead of screaming out, as she
says, she did nothing but laugh and giggle; and if I had
any such intention as she has stated, I might have
succeeded without any difficulty; but I had no such
intention.
The girl Newberry was recalled.
Mr. BINGHAM—Have you been three or four times to
the defendant's house, and have you had wine with him,
as he has stated?
Mary Ann Newberry—l went with Berrington once
before, hut the defendant was not at home. I only saw
the defendant on the last occasion, and it was then he
offered us wine, and I drank some.
Mr. BINGHAM—The Rev. Mr. Berrington is well
known at this court, and, if I mistake not, has stood
more than once at that bar.
The defendant said his knowledge of Barrington and
his daughter was but slight.
Mr. BINGHAM (addressing Mr. Chapman)—Have you
reason to think the girl Berrington was in the habit of
taking other girls to the defendant's house? Mr. Chap-
man—lcannot say for certain.
Defendant—l um a highly respectable man.
Mr. BINGHAM (to Mr. Chapman)—lf you think there
is no chance of any further charges of this sort against
the defendant—that of inveigling or inducing girls from
your institution to come to this house, I am of opinion
this case ought to be sent to the sessions; but, if you in-
sist upon it, lam ready to dispose of it here. But, if
you have any notion that other girls have been taken to
the defendant's house, I think it ought :to go to the
quarter-sessions. Mr. Chapman—l cannot say there
have been other girls taken there. I understand Ber-
rington stated to the matron that the defendant induced
her to take other girls to his house.
Defendant—l deny that. The girl Newberry has
been at my house three or four times. She came there
with a felonious intent, and that I might do whet I
jaeased with her. I certainly kissed her, and unpinned
her shawl, but that was all. There were persons in the
house at the time, who must have heard her screams, if
she had made any noise, but I was taken in the street
quite unprepared, and brought to this court.
Mr. BINGHAM—If you have been taken unprepared,
and if you think you suffer injustice on that acccount, I
will give you au opportunity of being prepared by re-
manding the case. Defendant—l can produce evidence
to show she hiss bee❑ several times at my house.
Mr. BINGIIAN—You are entitled to have the case
adjourned to prepare yourself—ie that what you want?
Defendant (hesitating)—lf you thick it is ri quisite.
Mr. BINGHAM —That is your affair, not mine. You
say you are taken unawares and unprepared; it is for
you, not me, to elect whether you will have the case ad-
, journed. Do you want time to prepare your defence?
Defendant—Why, if you don't think me perfectly in-
nocent of _

Mr. BINGHAM—I'II stop the sentence there. Ido not
thiuk you are perfectly knocent, and therefore I'll give
you until to-morrow to produce your witnesses. In the
meantime I ehould recommend you, Mr. Chapman, to
inform yourself further about the proceedings of the girl
Berriugton.

The defendant was ultimately ordered to enter into his
own reecgnizances in 2001 to appear the next day.

THE MURDER BY A BOY IN NORFOLK.
LYNN, APRIL 20.—Yesterday James Pears, the boy
against w to to a verdice of man-laught r was last week
returned by the jury empanelled to inquire into the death
of another boy named William Day, who was shot
whilst crow keeping in Tutwell Fee, on Saturday, the
10th inst., was brought up for a final examination before
the district magistretes at the Downham petty sessions
(having been examined and remanded pro forma previous
to the coroner's incite et), charged with feloniouslyling and-slaying the said William Day.
It hed been anticipated that another brother of the
prisoner, named Charles Pears, would be also accused
and examined as an accessory after the fact,in cense:"
quence of a statement said to have been made by lull
staler subsequent to the inquest, to the effect that ho had
assisted to nury the body of Day; but such was not til!
case, the police, upon further inquiry, having feneu'
the evidelice insufficient to warrant his APPr
hension ; although, at an early stage of tbe
inquiry, which occupied the greater part of the day, nee
of the magistrates on the bench gave it as his 0011°11
that the case ought to be remanded, in order to procure
the attendance of Charles Pears, as likely to be in"
criminated by the proceedings. The progress of she
inquiry, however, tended to show that the little hot:.
James Pears, had succeeded in burying the body

Day, although the latter was much taller than bite
