IN RE LEWIS,

This bank rupt was a wine merchant in the City, and this
was an application for order of discharge.
The bankrupt had been indicted for fraudulently obtain-
ing goods,fraudalent ly disposing of goods, and generally for
fraudulent trade, but was acquitted on each indictment.
The assignees taking into consideration the circumstances
did not feel it their duty to oppose the appl cation.
Mr. Lawratice, fnr one of the creditors, who was also one
of the prosecutors, suggested that the case should stand over
until the return of Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.
H:s Honour, however, considered that after what the
bankrupt had undergone, and he had passed cn his accounts
before he was indicted, he was now entitled to his discharge.
Order made accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH ILLNESS.—A young
woman named Ann Cook was charged before l‘lr. Tyrwhitt
with attempting to commit suicide at the Serpentine, Hyde-
park.
From the evidence of George Lane, a private of the 60th
Rifles, it appeared that while passing through Hyde-park
the previous evening, he was informed that a young woman
had thrown herself into the Serpentine. He immediately
jumped into the water and rescued her, she being at the
time out of her depth.

The young woman said she was very sorry for what she
had done.

Mr. Trywhitt having told the young woman that she
was much indebted to the soldier, asked whether any one
connected with her was present ?
The mother of the accused stepped forward, and said that
her daughter had been suffering from a diseased chest and
poisoned fiu.er, and she had not been able to give satisfac-
tion to her employers, and this had preyed on her mind.
She would take her daughter home and take care of her.
Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired whether the young woman had
ever attempted anything of the sort before, and the mother
said the had not.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, after addressing some kind remarks to the
young woman, gave her up to her mother.

THAMES.

SINGULAR FRAUDS ON SuorßEErEns.—Ellen Callahan
22, Ann newly, 30, and Ellen Sheridan, alias Sullivan,
with other aliases, 23, who all refuted to give their ad-
dresses, were brought before Mr, Partridge, charged with
committing frauds on shopkeepere.
The prisoners are all natives of Ireland, and kept up a
continual clamour. They have been going about the dis-
trict with a fourth Irishwoman occasionally, for some time,
and the modus operandi of this female gang of swindlers in
a small scale was described by Mr. George Pound, a beer-
seller, at the corner of Patterson-street and Charles-street,
Stepney. He said the prisoner Callahan caste into my
shop by herself. She asked for a bottle of lemonade,
and tendered a five-shilling piece in payment. At
the same time she asked rue to give her sixpences in
change. I put down 9 sixpences and 3 pence on the coun-
ter, deducting from the dollar the price of the lemonade,
The pri oner asked me the price of the bottle of lemonade,
and on my mswering that it was 3d., she said, " I won't
h eve it," and put down the change I had given her on the
counter, but instead f 4s. 9d. she only returned 3s. 9d ,
and walkul out of the shop The other prisoners Vewry
and Sheridan, and another woman joined her. I knew I
had been swindled of a shilling, and followed them until I
met a policeman, and gave them into custody. One of the
Irishwomen made her escape. Callahan here exclaimed,
" I am guilty of stealing the shilling, I picked it up off
the counter, because he left it there."
Mr. Pound—She only gave me 3s, 93. when I returned
her the ss. piece.
Francis Toy, greengrocer, of 33, Clarke-street, Stepney,
said the three prisoners and another woman came into his
shop, Davey said, " Will you serve me with 31b. of pota-
toes ?" He weighed them, and she first directed him to
put the potatoes into Callahaes apron, and then said,
"Stop a minute, let them stop on the scale," and gave him
a crown piece. She asked him for all sixpences in change.
He had not got sufficient sixpences, and gave her four six-
pences and 3s. in change. He counted the whole of it into
her hand, and said, "Now, I have got to take 21d, for the
potatoes." Davey then said she wanted a half-crown piece
for some of the silver, and put down 4s. on the counter, and
he told her there was only 45., and she asserted that was
all he had given her. He ordered her to put the shilling
sbe had in her hand on the counter, and she did so, and at
the same time took up a sixpence. He seized hail of her
left hand, recovered the whole of his change, and said,
"You vagabond, you want to rob me." He turned all the
women out of the shop, and while doing so one of them stole
a large cucumber.

Sarah Murdle, sister of Mr. ThoritaB Murdle, baker, 32,
Clark-street, Stepney, said Callahan came into my
brother's shop and asked for a loaf, She gave a five shil-
ling piece. and I gave her 4s. 6d in silver and 22d. in
coppers. The prisoner said she could get a half quartern
loaf any where for 3d., and demanded her five shilling
piece again. I gave it to her, and she only returned to me
3s 6d. in silver and the half-pence. Mr. Murdle came into
the shop and demanded the other shilling, which she bad
in her hand. It was returned, and she then wanted the
loaf again. I refused to let her have it, and she left the
shop.

Henry Lewis, No. 203 K, said ho took the prisoners into
custody. They had all been in custody before, and had
given much trouble to shopkeepers. The tour Irish
women, one of whom escaped from him, had been plunder-
ing and swindling tradesmen.
Mr. Partridge—l shall convict all the prisoners for trial.
Take the depositions, Mr. Bowdler,

ROASTED ALIVE.—A melancholy case of empiri-
cism was last week brought before one of the cor-
rectional tribunals of the west of France, The accused is an
herb doctor, who was then charged with having a short time
previously literally baked a woman alive in order to cure an
attack of rheumatism from which she had long suffered. The
cure for this disorder, practised by the Sieur Lenoble " with
success upon his own father," was to put his patients, lying
in a bed of reeds freshly plucked from a river, in a baker's
oven till their couch should be reduced to power with the
heat. The husband of the woman whom Lenoble last
cooked deposed to her having, when shut up an hour in the
oven, complained that her side was being burned. The
quack ascended into the chambre ardenie ar.d applied some
leaves to the burn. He had hardly descendea when the
patient complained of another burn, The same reZedY
was no sooner applied to it than the woman Carr;
said that Ler physician "must remain with her in the stove
till the rheumatism would be baked out of her." She then
cried that she felt herself ill from head to foot, on whieh
Lenoble assured her that it was nothing, for that if sae
wanted to be cured she must endure all the suffering it was
possible to inflict on her. After a long interval of silence;
which struck the quack as being very strange, "seeing that
the woman chatted to him during the application of the
cure," he resolved to draw her out of the oven. She was
then senseless. Vinegar and reed roots were then applied,
but without effect ; and next morning the unhappy woman
died without having in the meantime shown any signne of
consciou.so ess. Lenoble was condemned only to pay afi
of 50f. anti to six months' imprisonment.
