IN 1 11. DAVIS.

This bankrupt was a woollen and silk agent, and thi
was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The
principal, almostthe whole of the liabilities, were on accom-
modation bills for Monk and Co., cotton, woollen, and silk
spinner, at Huddersfield, who failed some time since for a
large amount.
Mr. Bazley, for the bankrupt, said the bill had been ac-
cepted for his employers, Monk and Co., who were sup-
posed to be the most extensive and opulent spinners in the
Wrest of England, but they failed, and left the bankrupt
with the liabilities, but the bill holders would not be severe
sufferers, as the estate of Monk and Co. would pay a large
dividend.
His Honour said that the Court must mark its sense of
such a flagrant fraud of all such commercial property.
Mr. Baxley said that the bankrupt was continually re-
ceiving goods from Monk and Co.
His Honour said the mischief of such conduct was
apparent, and the world was deceived. The order of dis-
charge must be suspended for six months, but with pro
tection

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
COMMITTAL OF THE FULL TERM FOR A BRUTAL
ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Cornelius Maddigan, a rough
looking fellow, was charged with violently assaulting a
female, named Caroline 111‘Millan.
The prosecution was instituted by the society of which
the Marquis of Townshend is president—the Society for
the Protection of Women and Children, Duke-street, St.
James's —and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlboronh-
street, instructed by Mr. Albert, the agent of the society,
prosecuted.
When the case was first before the court the complain-
ant was unable to attend owing to the ill-usage she had re-
ceived, but a young man named Daniel Jebb, proved seeing
the prisoner strike the complainant several times in a most
violent manner. The case was then adjourned for the at-
tendance of the female.
On the case being resumed Mr. Lewis said he prosecuted
on behalf of the Society for the Protection of Women and
Children, who had felt it their duty to prosecute the pri-
soner, who had been guilty of one of those violent assaults
which unfortunately were so frequent.
Caroline M`Millan, of 2, Aubery-court, said that on the
13th January, at 5 o'clock in the morning, she went into
the Old Crown public-house, High-street, St. Giles's, to
have a glass of ale. The prisoner asked her to treat him,
but she refused, and she then felt his hand in her pocket,
and seized it as he had taken out her money-4s. 6d. The
prisoner then struck her several fearful blows in the face,
and she was deluged in blood. She left the house to seek
for a constable, when the prisoner knocked her down, and
while on the ground kicked her. The blows given by
the prisoner were so violent that four of her teeth were
knoeked out, and she was unable to appear last week. She
was perfectly sober at the tima the prisoner attacked her,
and saw him pass the money to some of his companions.
Cornelius Tomkins, barman to Mr. Best, of the Crown,
High-street, said the complainant came in and asked for
a glass of ale, and the prisoner and another man came and
stood by her side. Shortly after the complainant said she
had been robbed, and the prisoner then struck her several
times. The prisoner, whom he knew as a bad character,
had several bad companions about, and threatened him
(witness) for interfering.
Abbott, 59 F, on taking the prisoner into custody, saw
the complainant was bleeding profusely, her lips being badly
swollen. He knew the prisoner as an associate of thieves.
Chappell, G division, stated that the prisoner was a

thief,
The prisoner, who said he was drunk at the time, was
committed for six months, with hard labour.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE 11.11YMARICET —Benja-
min W. Blewitt, of 11, Taymouth-terrace, Commercial-
road East, medical student, and Julius Stauffer, of 12, Old
Jewry Chambers, a student at the Veterinary College,
Camden Town, were charged with being drunk and causing
a crowd of persons to assemble in the Haymarket, and
Blewitt was further charged with assaulting Sergeant Brad-
ley, 25 C.
Sergeant Bradley proved seeing the defendants in the
Haymarket surrounded by a crowd of persons. He re-
quested Stauffer to go away, when Blewitt struck him a blow
in the face with his fiat. When he first went up Stauffer
was pitching a dog into a cab, two persons being in the cab
at the time. Both defendants were drunk at the time, and
making a great noise by hallooing and shouting.
Stauffer said he had had too much drink.
Blewitt said he did not strike the sergeant, but he made
an attempt to d 3 so. The sergeant used such violence that
one of his shirt buttons came off.
Mr. Yardley said that he did not consider that a proof of
violence, and fined Stauffer 18s. or seven days, and Blewitt
30s. or fourteen days.

THAMES.

AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG TILIEF.—A poor woman,
Elizabeth Loney, the wife of a labourer in the service of
the General steam Navigation Company, entered the wit-
ness box, sobbing loudly, and much affected, and at the
same time her son, Richard Loney, a stubborn boy, aged
l2i years, was arraigned in the dock, charged with robbing
his parents.
The mother of the prisoner said her son had repeatedly
plundered her of money. She had lost a florin, and six •
pences and shillings. Yesterday morning she went out on
an errand, leaving her purse, containing 35., under her pil-
low. On her return there were only 2s. in the purse. The
prisoner was out all day and in bad company, and when
ho was found at night he admitted stealing the shilling.
Richard Loney, the father of the boy, gave a very bad
account of him, and said he was anxious to save him. He
had sent his son to school, and ho could read and write
well. On being asked why ho did not obtain employment
for his son, he said he could not entrust hill: anywhere.
He pilfered everything he could lay his hands on.
Mr. Partridge—How many children have you to main-
tain ?
Witness—Two, sir—this boy and a daughter, 20 years
of age. He has continually robbed us. He has got into
bad company. I don't know what to do with him. If he
is left at home for a moment he steals something and
runs away. I wish you to correct him.
Mr. Partridge was of opinion that the parents of a boy
were the best persons to correct and reform him. It was
a sad case, indeed. He would remand the prisoner for a
week, and on Thursday next decide what was to be done
with him.

A BENEFACTOIt—BEYOND THE PLANTING OF AN
ACORN.—The Earl of Seafield has planted on his
Strathspey estate, during the past eight years, upwards of
16,000,000 plants, being at all average of two millions
annually.
