THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY, SOVEMBER 9. 1839,

EXCHEQUER
HOW V. MACLEAN.
Mr. GIRDLESTO:CE (with whom was Z. S
. Calvert)
moved that the bill filed in this case be takenoff the
file with costs, on the ground that the plaintiff
not living at the time it was filed. It appeared tras
the parties in this case married sisters, and that in tilt,
year 1823 Mr. How and his wife went to America,
being at that time indebted to the defendant, and
leaving him in possession of premises in which they had
a joint interest, under a lease for 21 years, granted by
the Bishop of Llandaff. In 1839,a bill was filed by Mr.
Ashlsourne in the name of the plaintiff, under a letter
of attorney, executed in 1827, in which he was autho-
rised to take proceedings against the defendant to bring
him to an account for his moiety of the premises ; and
as order was obtained, ex-parte, for an injunction
against the defendant to restrain him from receiving the
rents of the premises, and for the appointment of a re-
ceiver. Affidavits of considerable length were read ; on
the one side to show that no thing had been heard of
the plaintiff since the year 1824 ; and, on the other

to prove that frequent communications had been re-
ceived either from himself or his wife.

After Mr. Simpkinson and Mr. Currie had been
heard on the part of the defendant,

His LORDSHIP directed a reference to the Master,
to inquire whether the plaintiff was living at the time
the bill was filed ; and when that report was made, he
would dispose of the motion. The affidavits n the
part of the plaintiff left the matter in very great doubt.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. ,6.

IN RE ROBERT HUGH FRANKS.

This case which bad been before the Court on
several occasions, was now decided.

The insolvent, the hatter in Finsbury-square was
opposed on the part of two creditors, and the complaint
urged against him was, that he had made an assignment
to a Mr. Thompson for the benefit of his creditors.
The property had, however, been sold with little or no
benefit to them. The opposing creditors, who were
appointed assignees, had seized the furniture on the
premises in Finsbury-square, and two actions had been
brought against them. They asked for the possession
of the shop, which the Court refused to give, as they
had taken possession. The case, from the last hearing
(before the recess), stood adjourned, to give the cre-
ditors the opportunity of examining the books filed by
the insolvent.

Mr. Cooke, who appeared for one of the creditors,
said the assignees had sold the furniture for 951., and
two actions had been commenced against them.
Mr. Nichols, on the part of the insolvent, said they
had seized everything, including the property belonging
to Mr. Thompson. He had to apply under the 43d
section of the Act for an allowance for the insolvent
towards his expenses in this Court.
Mr. Cooke asked whether it was meant out of the
money in the hands of the assignees.
Mr. Nichols said certainly.
Mr. Commissioner BowEN thought the application a
most unreasonable one. The family of the insolvent had
been protected by Mr. Thompson, and the business was
now carried on.

The COURT ordered the insolvent to be discharged,
and granted the costs of the opposition out of the estate.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Mrs. Margaret Ford, the wife of an actor, was yes-
terday placed at the bar, charged by Mrs. Beaumont,
of Drury Lane Theatre, with annoying her, and using
threatening language to her.
The complainant, who was accompanied by a person
wearing mustachios as a military officer, stated that for
the last two years she had been constantly annoyed by
the defendant in the most public parts of town, and on
Monday night last, as she was leaving the theatre, the
door-keeper informed her that the prisoner was waiting
outside to repeat the offence. Having hired a fly to con-
vey her home, she was obliged to order it to come to
another door, but the defendant followed it, and pulled
her out of it before the door could be shut, at the same
time using the most violent and threatening language.
The defendant said that her husband had been taken
from her a considerable time past by the complainant,
and she was left with five of his children in a starving
condition, entirely destitute of support, and she had
gone merely to ask for her, but never threatened to do
her any injury.
The complainant repeated that she used the most
violent language, and she was in fear and terror of her
life.

The defendant assured the Magistrate that the com-
plainant was only engaged as a chorus singer at the
theatre, although she pretended she derived a large sa-
lary from it ; and she was under the protection of seve-
ral gentlemen, which enabled her to maintain her hus-
band in private lodgings.
The complainant in the most serious manner declared
that the assertion was utterly false, and the driver of
the vehicle knew the manner in which she was treated.
Charles Haighton, the driver, proved that on Mon-
day night, on his opening the door of the fly, the de-
fendant jumped on the step, and called the other lady
very bad names ; and had he not kept her back she
would have got into the fly, but he pulled her down by
the arm, and from her violent manner he thought she
would strike the defendant, but she did not, nor did
he hear any threats used ; but she repeatedly called to
know where was her husband.

The defendant said that her accuser was a bad wo-
man, to take away the father of her five children from
her, and she had only gone to give him into the custody
of the parish officers, but he did not come to the theatre.
It was last February twelvemonth the complainant
took him away, and she has since supported him in pri-
vate lodgings under a false name.

Mr. JARDINE observed that he had nothing to do with
family matters, but to ascertain if any threats had been
used.

The defendant declared she had only gone to look
into the carriage for her husband, and the letter which
she could produce would show that he was in private
lodgings with the complainant, but there was no neces-
sity for using threatening language.
Constable Carle, who executed the warrant, proved
that he heard the defendant use very strong language to
the complainant when she was taken into custody.
Mr. JARDINE, considering the charge to be fully
proved, ordered the defendant to anter into her own re-
cognizance, and to find two sureties in 5/. each, to keep
the peace for six months.
The defendant said that she could not command five
farthings, and that her five children were starving.
She was then removed from the bar.

VESSEL CAPSIZED, AND A

WOMAN DROWNED.

It is this week our painful duty to record an accident
attended with loss of life, in the river Derwent, by
the overturning or capsizing of a vessel, such we
believe, as has never before been heard of, at least
in this neighbourhood. It appears that the vessel in
question was called the Alfred, John Dunnell, master,
who had on board his wife, and mate, James Fraser; and
that the vessel sailed with a cargo of cattle bones from
Hull, for the bone mill of Messrs. J. Beoth and Co.,
Norton, where she arrived safo, and moored opposite
on Saturday afternoon last, waiting her turn, as there
were two other vessels similarly laden to be delivered
before her. So far all was well, and no one could have
had the most remote idea of the awful calamity
which was to happen ere the dawn of another morn.
Early, however, on that Sabbath morn, the ears of
the public were stunned with the sad intelligence that the
above vessel had capsized in the middle of the night,
that the Captain's wife, a fine young woman twenty-four
years of age, had been drowned, and the Captain and
his boy had had a most narrow escape from sharing the
same fate. As soon as this news was circulated hun-
dreds of persons hastened to the spot ; the unfor-
tunate sufferer was extricated from her watery grave
in the cabin in the morning. An inquest was held
on the following Monday morning, when
John Dunnell, according to the report in the York
Courant, deposed that he was captain of the vessel
Alfred, laden with bones from Hull. Had sailed in her
about five months. Every thing was good and sea-
worthy with her when he left Hull. He was the
last person who saw his wife. He arrived at Malton
on Saturday last, about four o'clock, and on the
same night he had his supper on board ; tried the
pumps, and only got about two buckets full of water,
and then retired to rest with his wife about twelve
o'clock, considering ail safe and sound. About three
o'clock, or half past, on Sunday morning, he was awoke
by his wife, who told him that the vessel was going
over. He jumped out of bed, but fell back twice before
he could gain the hatchway. The water was then
pouring into the cabin fast, and meeting him as he got
out. When he had got out, he called on his wife,
but received no answer. He then put his arms into
the cabin to feel for her, but could not find her. All
this while the vessel was turning over, and he heard
the cries of his mate in the forecastle. Finding all at-
tempts in vain to rescue his wife, he then went to the
other end of the vessel, where the boy was calling
out, and he got hold of him by the hair of the head,
and pulled him out. They had nothing but their
shirts on, not having time to dress. They got on the side
of the vessel, which had now fairly capsixed, and called
out for help, and the captain of another vessel came to
their assistance, and they got fresh clothes on. He did
not know what was the occasion of the accident ; the vessel
had no bilge water. Considered the vessel perfectly
sea-worthy, and they had had no gale of wind, nor had
any vessel run foul of them so as to damage her. She
was properly moored to a post, and fastened also to
another light vessel. The fore-end of the vessel had
gone down first. Has no doubt if his wife had not
awoke him, all on board would have been drowned.

The depositions of other persons were confirmatory of
the captain's statement. None of them could account
for the occurrence. The Jury returned a verdict of
" Accidentally drowned."

EARTHQUAKES AT COMRIE,

PERTHSHIRE.

The following very interesting record of the recent
earthquakes has ben journalised by a respectable gen-
tleman at Comrie. The state of alarm of the villagers
on Wednesday the 23d was indescribable.

Friday, Oct. 4.—One slight shock at half-past
four a.m.

Tuesday, Bth.—One slight shock at half-past five a.m.
Thursday, 10th.—One severe shock at half-past five
a.m. This shock was much more severe than any felt
for some years before.

Saturday, 12th.—In all ten shocks to-day. First
about one p.m. ; noise very loud , tremor of the earth
very great.

Sabbath, 13th.—Three slight shocks : say more.
Monday, 14th.—One very severe shock at half-past
two p.m.

Wednesday, 16th.—A very severe shock at a quarter
to three a.m.—Noise very great, and tremour alarming.
This shock vas probably more severe than any of the
former.

From Thursday 17th till Tuesday 22d, some slight
shocks, according to some accounts.
Wednesday, 2.3 d.—An indescribably dreadful shock
at halt-past 10 p.m. Compared with this, all which
preceded it are not to be named. The noise, which
resembled that of two or three shocks in close succes-
sion, was as the noise of many thunders. The tremor
of the earth was dreadful. Atmosphere very heavy.
Rain, which had been falling during the clay, descending in
torrents, causing the river Earn to be very much flooded.
During this shock chimney cans were thrown down,
and bricks from old chimneys. In the neighbourhood
portions of dry stone dykes and some walls were rent.
As might have been expected, the villagers were
alarmed, and became increasingly so, at eleven o'clock,
when another shock, but by no means so severe as the
preceding one, was felt. Shortly after this, the Rev. Mr.
Walker having made his appearance in the village, was
requested by many, who were now crowding the streets,
to retire with them to the Secession Church, which he
did at about 12 o'clock at night. The scene almost
baffles description. The house was partly dark and
partly lighted. Nearly 200 people might be collected :
many of these were already seated, many more of them,
however, keeping near the door, as if afraid to enter.
After some entreaty, the most of them came in and sat
down. There were amongst them young men and maidens
—infants at their mothers' breasts—and old men and wo•
men bending under a weight of fourscore years. Mr.
W., after a few words, commenced the services by
giving out part of the 91st psalm ; which having been
sung, he engaged in prayer. After this he gave an
address, which having been followed by prayer by an
elder of the Established Church, the meeting dis-
persed about half-past two, a.m. There was little sleep
in the village during the night, there having been, accord-
ing to some accounts, not fewer than fourteen shocks
before daylight. Most of these were attended with no
perceptible tremor.

_ .
Thursday, 24th.—Some slight shocks ; noise, but no
tremor. A full meeting in the Established Church in
the evening. During this day there was little work
done in the village.
Friday, 2.sth.—Some slight shocks ; noise, but no
tremour. A full meeting in the Secession Church in
the evening.

Saturday, 26th.—Some slight shocks. Meeting in
the Establi,hed Church.

Sabbath, 27th.—Some slight shocks ; but no tremor.
Monday, 28th.—Three slight shocks ; noise, but no
tremor.—Scotch Paper.

The following curious specimen of a "trading" ope-
ration is extracted from a letter from Rangoon which
appears in one of the Calcutta papers last received :
" In February last a highly respectable Armenian mer-
chant in Madras shipped some 30,000 or 40 000 scarlet
shawls for scarfs, which, on examination here, were found
to be damaged by salt water. Mr. Manook Aratoon, a
shrewd Armenian shopkeeper of this place, to whom the
shawls were consigned, immediately forwarded them to his
kin:lnan Sarkics at Amerapoora, with instructions to do
the best he could for the benefit of all concerned.

j " Shortly after the expulsion of Colonel Benson from the
Burmese Court, a meeting was called by Messrs. Sarkies,
ICalder, and Low, which was attended by all the foreign
! merchants at Amerapoora, the only two English gentlemen
tn:zaged in trade th, re excepted. It was agreed by the
said meeting that all foreigners friendly to the King
should form a procession, headed by the above worthy trio,
to congratulate him upon his peaceable triumph in re-
moving from his capital a resident whom the Court, as
well as the common people, considered a political spy.
On the following day, a motley group of all religi )ns,
each decorated with a scarlet scarf,' proceeded to
the Palace, and after a few minutes' detention, were
admitted to the Royal presence. On the Armenian in-
terpreter explaining that the red scarf was worn by the
deputation as a badge of distinction, to mark the good
faith and loyalty of each individual present, his Majesty
expressed an unusual degree of delight, and, immedi-
ately issued a royal mandate, that every male subject,
even in the remotest corner of his empire, should wear a
scarlet scarf,' in the place of the common white tur.
ban, and that the head man of each district should
see the royal order obeyed, under.the penalty of forfeiting
his head.
" After partaking of the usual refreshments, the depu.
tation was graciously dismissed, highly pleased with the
flattering reception. The same afternoon the Armenian
shops were crowded with customerb, and in less than
three days the whole of the aforesaid damaged scarlet
scarfs ' were disposed of at a price particularly pleasing
to all concerned
" I have since been informed that the Governments
officers purchase largely for the supply of the Shah and
other distant districts on the frontiers of Burmah.
" This speculation stratagem has caused a considerable
change in the Burmese costume, by substituting the
scarlet scarf' for the long-established white muslin, so
tastefully worn by persons of rank and respectability. It
will also have great influence on the trade of the country
by creating a demand for an article heretofore scarcely
saleable, and consequently seldom imported."

night, between tei and eleven o'clock, as Beech and
O'Grady, two actve members of the Bridewell Guard,
were returning from the neighbourhood of Glanmire,
where they had been sent by directions of the Sheriffs,
to ascertain the. vuth of certain statements reported in
regard to Casey. Ine of the parties in custody charged
with the murder of constable Lawlor, their attention
was arrested by tre screams of a female in the vicinity
of the Cliffs near the Barracks. They instantly ran to
the spot, and discovered a man in the act of commit-
ting violence roptn the person of a woman, whilst ano-
ther man stood by at a short distance. The officers
instantly secured the party. The female, Frances Pat-
ten, who is said to be respectably connected, soon re-
covered. The men, thus arrested are Richard Reed
