IN RE GEORGE BUTLER.

This insolvent was heard before the vacation, and
came up to-day for judgment.
Mr. Commissioner LAW ordered him to be dis-
charged forthwith, but shortly after, being reminded
of his expressed intention to remand the insolvent, sent
him back, and pronounced the less agreeable judg-
ment of a discharge after ten calendar months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Isabella Reid and Jane Price were brought up,
charged with having committed several robberies.
Jane Price, who is a simple looking girl, between
14 and 15 years of age, got into the temporary ser-
vice of a respectable woman by appearing to be in
extreme distress, and contrived to prevail upo❑ her
mistress to entrust a large bundle of clothes to Isa-
bella Reid, as a laundress. Neither clothes nor
laundress ever appeared at the house afterwards ; but
the police, who bad received information from
other quarters about the latter prisoner, secured
her, and yesterday the justice-room was crowded
with women who had been plundered by a pretended
washerwoman, who was found to be Mrs. Reid.
Mrs. Elizabeth Casey, of Ilarpur-streeti Red Lion-
square, said—On the 17th of August Reid called at
my house and told me she was recommended to me by
Mrs. King, a lady of my acquaintance, as a laundress.
I wished at the time to change my laundress, and I
gave her a bundle of articles for the wash. I never
saw them again.
The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask
the witness any questions? Reid—l have nothing to
ask her ; I never saw her before.
Miss Sarah Allen—l reside with my mother in
Spencer-street, Canonbury-square. On the 16:h of
February Reid came to the house arid said she was
sent for the clothes by Mrs. Odell, who is our laun-
dress. The clothes were accordingly delivered to her.
We never got the clothes back, and I have never
seen the woman to whom they were delivered until
now.

The LORD MAYOR—Are you quite sure that Reid
is the person to whom they were delivered ? Witness
—I have not the least doubt of it.
Reid—Not a bit of it. lam not the person at all.
The mother of Mies Allen confirmed the statement
of that young lady.
Mrs. Mayhew, of Wood-street, Exmouth-street,
Clerkenwell—l take in mangling. On the 13th of
August the prisoner Reid came to my house and said
she came for a bundle of mangling from 42, Easton-
street. I:had received a bundle of clothes from that
number for the mangle, and I delivered a dozen and
11 articles which belonged to a Mrs. Beddome to her.
I had no doubt that all was right, as she called a little
before the exact time at which the owner had ordered
them to be punctually ready.
Reid—l know nothing at all about you.
Mrs. Moseley—l am the landlady of the house in
which the last witness resides, and I can swear to the
voice of the prisoner Iteid and to her bonnet and
figure. I did not see her face, but I heard her talk
about the mangling. lam surprised at the denial of
Reid; for she said, when I was brought to look at
her, that as I was come there was no use in her con-
tradiction.
The police officer said there were seven or eight
cases more ready, in which the parties had been rob-
bed in a similar manner, and if the charges were
generally known 40 or 50 cases would be forthcoming.
The LORD MAYOR—There have been cases enough
against Reid, when the evidence shall be completed
she shall go for trial.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Charles Rock, a boy scarcely twelve years of age,
was charged with the following heartless robberies :
The prisoner's mother, an impoverished widow,
who sobbed violently and was painfully affected while
giving evidence against her son, stated, that since the
death of her husband, which occurred about four
months ago, she had endeavoured to obtain a subsis-
tence for herself and two children by her labours as a
laundress, but that she was greatly harassed by the
scandalous conduct of the prisoner, who was con-
stantly in the habit of stealing everything he could
lay his hands upon. Not satisfied with stealing
property which really belonged to her, he was con-
tinually involving her in disgrace and difficulty by
purloining the property of persona who employed her
in her business, and who not only made her recom-
pense them for what they bad lost, but in many in-
stances refused to employ her any longer. During
the last week she contrived with difficulty to put by
enough to pay her rent, and on leaving home on
Monday morning placed it under a teacup on the
mantlepiece, where she thought it would be
safe, as the prisoner had absented himself
from home for several days ; but on returning
home in a few hours she found that he had
clandestinely got into the house during her absence,
and not only robbed her of that money, but also
took all the food out of the cupboard, and everything
else of a portable description that be could conveni-
ently carry off. The prisoner then absconded from
home again, and she saw nothing more of him until
the preceding evening, when he was brought home by
one of the neighbours, who had accidentally met him
in the street, and he having acknowledged that he
had spent the money he had stolen, she gave him at
once into custody, as she was wholly at a loss what to
do with him. The poor woman added that, in ad-
dition to the conduct she had just detailed, the pri-
soner bad also tried to corrupt the morals of his
younger sister, whom he frequently beat because
she would not help him to plunder her, and had ac-
tually upon one occasion stripped the clothes off the
child's back, torn them up, and then sold them for
old rags.
The boy did not deny what his mother had stated,
and Mr. Ileatattnn, who said it was certainly a very
painful case, ordered him to be committed until that
day week, for the completion of the evidence.
WESTMINSTER.
William Bessill, a well-known thief, and Mr. R.
Brooks, were finally examined, charged on suspicion
of stealing eleven valuable gold watches from the
shop of Mr. J. Walker Brown, dealer in antique
furniture and articles of vertu, 48, Sloane-street,
Chelsea. _ _ _

Mr. BEADON, after a most careful and lengthened
investigation of the whole of the circumstances con-
nected with the case, expressed himself perfectly satis-
fied with the evidence produced by Mr. Clarkson, and
discharged Mr. Brooks, his client.
Mr. Solomons addressed the magistrate on behalf
of Bessill, and submitted that there was not sufficient
evidence to send to trial upon.
Mr. BEADON said it was his duty to send him be-
fore a jury, but he would take two sureties in 50/, for
his appearance.
Bessill was committed in default.
No trace has ever been discovered of the watches.
