POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-July 31.

MANSION HOUSE.—John Sturdy who had
been a clerk in the service of Messrs. Smith,
Barry, and Co., merchants, in Leadenhall-street,
underwent a final examination before Alderman
Humphery, on a charge of stealing £7O which
they had entrusted to him to pay into the Union
Bank of London in September last. He was also
accused of stealing letters containing bills of ex-
change and orders for the payment of money ad-
dressed to Messrs. Richardson and Co., East India
agents in Cornhill, and several revolving pistols,
and a musical box, all of considerable value.

The material circumstances have been already
reported.

The prisoner, who made no defence, was com-
mitted to Newgate for trial.

GUILDHALL.—David Braun and Benjamin
Kortoske, lately carrying on business as hat and
cap manufacturers and general merchants in
London-wall, were charged before Mr. Alderman
Hale with conspiring together and with others not
in custody to obtain goods on credit to the
amount of about £35,000, with intent to cheat
and defraud their creditors.

Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by M. A. Turner, of the
firm of Sole and Turner, conducted the prosecution ;
and Mr. Poland, instructed by Mr. Sydney, the
defence.
This case has been remanded from time to time,
and a few of the facts elicited have appeared, but a
brief outline of the evidence already taken will con-
vey a better idea of the importance of the case than
a lengthy report of the very voluminous proceed-
ings as far as they have gone. It appeared that the
defendants, who are bankrupts, filed their petition
for a private arrangement under the Bankruptcy
Act on the 10th Sept. last, and they were adjudi-
cated bankrupts under the new bankruptcy law on
the 13th January of the present year. They passed
their last examination on the 19th May last, and
the certificate meeting, which was fixed first for the
27th of last June, was further adjourned until the
14th Nov.inext. The bankrupts were examined at
considerable length before the commissioner in
bankruptcy on several occasions and the notes of
those examinations were produced before the ma-
gistrate in support of the present charge. It ap-
peared from these examinations that two brothers
of Kortoske established themselves inCanada about
nine years ago, and acted as agents for Braun and
Kortoske, and subsequently established a firm in
London f the name of Fox and Co., who in turn
acted as the agents of Kortoskeßrothers, of Canada.
Goods bought by Fox and Co., and by Braun and
Kortoske, were shipped to Kortoske Brothers, from
time to time, until the year's account, which in 1852
was only £5OO, amounted to the enormous sum of
£30,000, in 1860 and 1861. The shipments during
the two months immediately preceding their
suspension amounted to £lB,OOO, which, with an
unliquidated balance of about £20,000, for which
they had advanced the money and received no inte-
rest whatever, made the total of their claim on
Kortoske Brothers something near £38,000. In
1862_ their claim on Kortoske Brothers was only
£5OO, and it had gone on increasing everoy

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pi
Cough, Emaciation..—These symptoms slight, but steadily
advancing, mark a depraved condition of the body, which
will run its rapid course to consumption unless some re-
sistant remedy be at once applied. All congestion of the
lungs and engorgements of the air tubes are removed by
rubbing Holloway's ointment upon the back and front of
the chest ; and all impurities are extracted from the blood
by his purifying pills, which establish a good digestion,
and so strengthen the system and avert both present and
future danger. These potent remedies require no foreign
aid to change the consumptive tendency and to remove all
obstructions springing from impure blood, deficient nervous
power, or other constitutional or local defects.
