INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 1.
On Saturday, Thomas James Fel[gate, formerly re-
ceiving clerk to Mr. Harris, Eagle Brewery, Hampstead-
road, was opposed by that gentleman for having defrauded
him of upwards of 3,0001., for which he had rendered
himself liable to two years' imprisonment from the date of
the vesting order. The insolvent had been out upon bail.
In his examination the insolvent said he had made over
his property, worth 8001., by bill of sale, to Mr. Harris. He
acknowledged to having robbed that gentleman of upwards
of 1,000/., and had to put it in.his schedule. He had been
chapel warden at Mr. Mortimer's Chapel, Gray's Inn-
lane, where he had received 41/., and employed it to his
own use. He had received 401. from the servant of Mr.
Harris for the purpose of placing it in that parson's hands
for the benefit of her infant daughter, and which he had
also used. The insolvent assigned as the reason for his
insolvency his late employer's demand of the restitution of
the money of which he had been defrauded. The Com-
missioner adjourned the further hearing of the case until
Friday, when judgment will be passed, and the prisoner
was ordered into immediate custody.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

On Saturday an old man named Finnerty, formerly a
tailor in good circumstances, and brother of the late Mr.
Peter Finnerty, applied to the Alderman for a compulsory
order, under the 27th sec. of the Poor-lawAmendment‘Act,
to compel the Guardians of the West London Union to al-
low him a sufficient weekly sum for his support out of the
workhouse. The applicant stated that at his advanced
age (74), and being nearly blind, one shilling and six.
pence a week was not sufficient for his support ; he was
ill and required nourishing diet ; he asked for seven shil-
lings a week. The relieving officer said he could not
comply with the demand of the complainant without the
sanction of the Board. The Alderman thought the. Board
should allow Finnerty five shillings, and the officer pro-
mised to mention his wishes to the Guardians.
