rOalir LEMMING V. TRENEY AND MAUI&
This was an action on an instrument declared upon as a
guarantee by which the defendants agreed to secure to the
plaintiff payment for a certain number of bricks, which he
was to supply to a person named Sheather, who had under-
taken to do some work for the Admiralty. The defenne
was that the instrument was not a guarantee, but was a
mere authority from Sheather, and the defendants, who had
become his sureties with the Government for the per-
formance of the contract, authorising the Accountant-
General of .the Admiralty to pay out of the sum which
might become due to Sheather, the amount due to the
plaintiff for bricks, a payment which that officer could not
have made but by their consent.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed.

BANKRUPTCY COURT-MONDAY.

H. GARCIA'S BANKRUPTCY-COMMITTAL OF THE

BANKRUPT.

A Subdivision Court was held before Messrs. Commis-
sioners MERIVALE, HOLItOYD, and FONBLANQUE, to de-
cide whether the bankrupt should be committed to New-
gate, he not having given a satisfactory account of his
estate.
The bankrupt stated, that on the 13th of February last
he left his house with 4101. in his pocket, intending to pay
his creditors in the City a portion of their debts—that he
went to sleep in the omnibus while be was on the road
from King's Cross to Islington—that there a man in a
cloak got out--and that he went again to sleep (having
travelled all the previous night), and soon after paying his
fare in the city, he discovered that his breeches pocket had
been cut, and the money abstracted. He took the names
of the conductor and driver of the omnibus, and the num-
ber, but bad lost all. He took no steps to obtain the
assistance of the police, only informing his mother of the
event, till the following day, when he told his creditors of
the loss. The notes were of the Bank of England, and the
Norwich Bank. He had sold the trowsers, which were
cut, for 2s. 6d., being in want of money, while in the Fleet,
where he had been sent for not giving a satisfactory account
of his estate by Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, before
whom the fiat was opened.
On a previous Court-day, Mr. T. 0. Anderton was
heard on behalf of the bankrupt, and against the committal
to Newgate.
Mr. WRIGHT, on behalf of the creditor, said if the
statement of the bankrUpt were believed by the Court.,
there would be many such stories got up by parties to de-
fraud their creditors. The whole story was highly impro-
bable.

Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE stated that this was a case
in which the bankrupt ought to be committed.
Mr. Commissioners Holroyd and Fonblanque concurred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday, Frederick Hawkes Nottage, the young man
who has been so repeatedly examined on the charges of
robbing lodging-houses, and forging two checks upon the
house of Ladbroke and Co., the bankers, with intent to de-
fraud a lady named Jefferies, residing in Duke-street, St.
James's, was again brought up.
Mr. Thomas Harding, clerk to Messrs. Ladbroke, stated
that on the 24th May the cheque now produced, drawn
upon their house for 21.. and signed " H. Calvert," was
presented for payment by a clerk from Messrs. Cox and
Biddulph, but no such person as the drawer kept cash or
was known there.
Mrs. Jefferies was called forward, and, her former evi-
dence having been read over, the prisoner asked her if he
did not in the first instance tell her his name was " Hawkes
Nottage Calvert ?" to which she replied in the affirmative.
Prisoner—Then you admit that I mentioned the name
of " Nottage ?" Witness—Yes, I believe you did.
Prisoner—l believe I drew the drafts in your presence ?
Witness—You did.
Prisoner—Was there any disguise or hesitation in my
manner when I drew the drafts ? Witness—None whatever.
A gentleman proved that be knew the prisoner, and that
the cheques produced were in his handwriting.
The prisoner was then ordered to stand fully committed
for trial on the charges of forgery, but will be brought up
again on other charges on a future day.

QUEEN SQUARE.
On Monday morning, long before the commencement of
business, the office and its avenues were greatly crowded,
in consequence of a man having been brought up charged
with having made a most desperate attempt to murder his
wife, by inflicting thirteen severe wounds with a sharp-
pointed knife upon different parts of her body, and also
with threatening the lives of himself and his only child, a
fine girl six years of age. The name of the man is Philip
Camp, a German, aged 30 years.—The prisoner was re-
manded till Thursday.
The act appears to have originated from insanity. His
wife remains in a bad condition at St. George's Hospital.
Caroline Fernandez, a Spanish woman, was yesterday
placed at the bar, before 1). M. WHITE, Esq., charged
with stealing a very pretty female child, three years and a
half cld.
The parents of the girl were also Spanish, and reside at
No. 4, Long's-court, St. Martin's-street, Leicester-square.
Some few months since, the father of the child met the
prisoner, who was desirous of being received by his wife.
The latter, however, was determined to have no intimacy
with the prisoner, who was a perfect stranger to her, and
she left the house, declaring that she would be revenged on
her. On Monday night, the little girl was sitting on the
step of the door, when the prisoner, in passing, caught the
child up and took it away. The mother, about half an
hour after this, missed it, after considerable anxiety, was
informed that the child had been taken by a woman an-
swering the prisoner's description. She want to her house,
and found the child in bed in the room occupied by the
prisoner.
Mr. WHITE ordered her to be fully committed for trial.
A ruffianly-looking fellow, named Spires, was charged
with assaulting rather a genteel-looking girl, named Jane
Barrow.
Complainant had known something of the prisoner about
a twelvemonth ago, and had declined any further connec-
tion with him. On Monday he met her in the London-
road and knocked her down three times. Her face and
head were severely cut.
He was fined M., and in default committed for two months
to hard labour.

A gentleman residing within twelve miles of
Brigg, nbout eleven years ago, sold a horse to a stranger at
one of the Barton fairs, for 141. , A few days since the same
horse was sold againio its original owner for the same sum
of money, after all efapse of so many years, and though the
eirennistanct was not then known to the purchaser, he has
since discovered his sad mistake—the horse is now 23 years
old ! !—Lincoln Gazette.
SUICIDE OF A DEB'T'OR.--A case of awfully pre-
meditated suicide occurred last week at Boston. It appears
that the embarrassed man, Mr. William Bowsher, had for a
length of time struggled with adverse circumstances, and
seeing destitution frowning upon himself, his wife, and five
&dren, his mind at length gave wad and rather than be
sent to jail, he took a sufficient quantity of laudanum to cause
his death.
The personal anecdotes and disclosures of the secret
springs of the most remarkable events, social and political, for
the last half century, contained in Sir William \Vraxall's
" Posthumous Memoirs of his Own Time," now just pub-
lished, confer on the work a rare and lasting interest. Sir
William's Recollections include sketches of the personages
who figured in the Court of George 111. during its latter pe-
riod, and in that of the Regent—of the principal Statesmen of
the time, and of the fashionable wits and beauties, whose
" sayings and doings" are recorded in the liveliest vein. In
speaking of the persecution whielr -Sir William's former Me-
moirs drew upon him, Sir George Osborn, who held a place
in George the Third's family, as one of the grooms of his bed-
chamber, nearly forty years, thus expresses himself in a letter
to the author :—" I have your first edition here, and have
perused it again with much attention. I pledge my name that
I personally know nine parts out of ten of your anecdotes to
be perfectly correct.• You are imprisoned for giving to future
ages a perfect picture of our time, and as interesting as Cla-
rendon."
The scene of Mrs. Gore's new novel, announced
under the title of " Female Domination,"
is fixed in York-
shire; and the society of that aristocratic county is said to
have been laid under contribution, to furnish some of the most
piquant sk etches that have yet
_appeared from the pen of this
favourite authoress.
