Baron Gaspar Peter Elias De Arabet, whose case
was before the Court on several occasions, and reported,
again appeared.
The Baron had kept an establishment near Exeter,
and it was complained on the part of two creditors and
the Bank of England of the Exeter District, that the
Baron had spent a considerable sum in prison.
Lady Nugent, the wife of Sir James Nugent', was re-
quired to attend respecting some furniture under a bill of
sale. Her Ladyship was examined, and
The COURT said they should leave the assignees to
adopt ulterior proceedings.
Mr. Commissioner BowEN thought the creditors were
entitled to 493/. 16s. 2d.
The COURT said the Baron had spent a large sum is
prison, and the judgment was that he be imprisoned seven
calendar months from the vesting order, for making away
with his property.
Thomas Quicke, a young student, late of Cambridge,
was discharged. He had an allowance of 4001. a-year,
which was not sufficient.

POLICE-INTELLIGENCE.

BOW. STREET.

M..?ssrs. Bottom Liensrnantand CO., coal merchants.
Adelphi Wharf, were yesterday summoned before Sir F.
Roc and Mr. Thistleton, a county magistrate, for having on
the Ist inst., delivered at the residence of Henry J. Pres-
ton, Esq., Bloomsbury square, ten sacks of coals, each 01
which were found to be incorrect and unjust in weight, the
total deficiency being 240 Lbs.
Mr. MOSELEY, who appeared for the defendants, pleaded
guilty; but he was instructed to explain how the mistake
took place.
The Complainant said he had been a considerable time
dealing with the defendants, and it was purely on public
grounds that the subject was brought before the mg's'
trates.

A gentleman connected with the firm assured the ma-
gistrates that the occurrence took place on Saturday night,
while nearly every person on the premises was busy in
other matters at the time. The men were paying off, but
as soon as the circumstance was made known to th© defen-
dants, none of whom were present when the coals were
weighing, they ordered all the persons whose duty it, was 50
attend to such matters to be discharged, and previous to
the load being sent out, the men were directed to be par-
ticular in the correctness of the weight in each sack.
Sir F. ROE said, that although it could scarcely be ex-
pected the defendants would be present on every occasion,
they were not the less responsible for those in their ser-
vice ; and as it appeared they had discharged the persons
who had been guilty of such negligence, he would miti-
gate the penalty from 51. each sack to 20s. each sack, with
costs.

The complanant considered the public was entitled to
protection in such cases, and as it was under such an im-
pression he had come forward, he would put his moiety of
the penalty into the poor box of the office.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JUN.II 10.
Petitions of no public interest occupied his Honour, the.
VICR-CHANCELLOR, the whole day.

Mr. JERVIS moved for a rule to show cause why a cri-
minal information should not be filed against John How-
ard, Esq., one of the magistrates of Cheshire, at the in-
stance of Mr. Charlton, a solicitor, residing at Hyde, and
also clerk to the magistrates. It appeared from the affi-
davits, which were of considerable length, that threats o f
a very violent nature had been used towards Mr. Charlton
by a brother of Mr. Howard's, and that the latter after-
wards refnsed to bind him over to keep the peace.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE granted the rule.
