SHAW V. KELK.

Mr. PLATT showed cause against a rule obtained by
Mr. Bayley for an attachment against the defendant, for
not paying over certain sums amounting to 3391. Is., which
he had been adjudged to pay in consequence of the arbitra-
ment of Messrs. Moses Henry Wood and James Richard-
son. The action was commenced so far back as 1831 ; in
January, 1833, the creditors met, when it was agreed that
certain sums which were due to Mesers. Lamb and Co.
were to be allowed and the amount receivable. It was at
that meeting agreed to be reduced to 2001. But the
Learned Counsel contended that the variation from the
terms of the rule avoided it, and for the reasons he had
stated the present rule must be discharged.
Mr. BAYLEY supported the rule for an attachment.
Rule for an attachment discharged.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM COBBETT.

Mr. WOODROFFE applied on the part of Mr. Cobbett,
the son of the late Member for Oldham, whose case was
reported in The Sun of Monday, for his discharge to issue
under peculiar circumstances.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN ordered several volumes of
the " Political Register" to be given up, which were cu-
riously mentioned in his excepted articles. The Learned
Commissioner then said they could not be detained as ex-
cepted articles, and directed they should be given up to the
proper officer, for the benefit of his creditors.
It was now stated by the Learned Counsel that Mr.
Cobbett was still an inmate of the Fleet Prison ; he had
given up several volumes of the " Register," but one vo-
lume was missing, as also some quires of brown paper, and
the provisional assignee had refused to grant the discharge
without the sanction of the Court. Mr. Cobbett was
ready to pay the value of the brown paper into Court, but
he could not obtain the required volume of the " Register."
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN thought the discharge might
be granted without the Court placing a value on the
missing articles.
Mr. WOODROFFE—Perhaps as Mr. Cobbett has been in
prison since Friday, when his discharge was pronounced,
the court will order it to issue to-day.
The Commissioners bowed in acquiescence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday Frederick Hawkcs Nottage, the young man
who on last Friday week was charged with stealing a suit
of clothes from the house of Mrs. Wootton, in South-
ampton-street, Strand, the particulars of which we published
at the time, was again brought up for re-examination, when
the following Mesh charge was preferred against him :
In the beginning of May the prisoner called at a board-
ing and lodging-house kept by a Mrs Jefferies, in Duke-
street, St. James's, and wished to hire a suite of apartments,
which was then occupied by Sir H. Wilson, but which were
likely to become vacant in three or four weeks. That
gentleman being from home, the prisoner was permitted to
see the rooms, which he said he liked very much, and would
call again. He said he had recently come into possession
of vast property, and as he was about to be elected Member
of Parliament he wanted apartments near to the House of
Commons. Soon after he had left the house, a private
cabriolet, driven by a groom in livery, drew up to the door,
and waited. Mrs. Jeferies asked him for whom he was
waiting, and he said, for the young gentleman who had
come to look at the apartments. She told him he was
gone, and asked if he knew his name. He said he did not,
but that he had heard his master, who had sent the cabriolet
for him, say that he was the son of a nobleman, and was
heir to vast property. On the 2:3d of May the prisoner
called again, and then gave his address—" Hawkes Nottage
Calvert, Fendall's Hotel, Palace-yard," and having partly
bargained for the apartments, he said he had that morning
met a young friend who had foolishly lost his money at a
gaming-house, and had lent him .51., which was all the cash
he had about him, and he asked Mrs. Jefferies if she would
cash a check for him for '21., by way of a temporary supply.
She said she would procure the money, and he wrote a
check, of which the following is a copy :

" Fendall's Hotel, Palace-yard, Westminster,
London, May 23, 1836.
" Please pay the bearer 21. on account of
" H. CALVERT.
" To Messrs. Ladbroke and Co., Bank-buildings."

She sent the check to Mr. Blockey, a neighbouring wine
merchant, who gave her the money, and she handed it over
to the prisoner. He then said that he had purchased a
watch on Ludgate-hill, and directed it to be sent to her
house, and asked if she would be good enough to receive it,
and pay for it with a check for 201., which he would draw
and leave with her. She did not object, and he drew a
check 'upon the same banking-house for 20/. and gave it to
her. The watch never came, and in a few days it was dis-
covered that the prisoner's name was not Calvert, but Not-
tage ; that he was not known at Fendall's except as hay-
ine, letters directed there in the latter name, and that the
cheques were forgeries.
The prisoner, in answer to this charge, considered it a
mere debt, and was advised that that transaction amounted
to nothing more.

Sir F. ROE remanded him until Tuesday next for the
production of further evidence.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday Benjamin alias Benedict Shepherd, who has
been in custody for the last week, was brought before
Messrs. COMBES and NORTON for further examination, on
a charge of robbing Mr. Henry Hoare, one of the part-
ners in the banking-house of Messrs. Hoare and Co.,
of Fleet-street, of eight bold watches, a valuable collection
of foreign coins, rings and trinkets of various descriptions,
thirteen sovereigns and a half in gold, besides other property.
The prisoner was remanded until the 4th of next month,
to await the return of Mr. Henry Hoare, the owner of the
stolen property.

The ex-Duke Charles of Brunswick, after a brief
stay in town for some days only, set off from the Brunswick
Hotel, Jerrnyn-street, on Saturday, for Paris.

One of the official assignees to the Bankruptcy
Court has lately declared two dividends on an estate, the first
being to the amount of eleven-sixteenths of a penny in the
pound, and the other a farthing and a half.
The Primitive Methodists opened their annual con-
ference on Friday the 20th, and closed the same on Wednes-
day the 25th instant. The greatest harmony prevailed during
their sittings, and the society was found to be in a flourishing
state : their numbers now stand 62,306, being an increase upon
the past year of upwards of 6,000.
The coachman who, at the time when the storm
which carried the Reform Bill was at the highest, was asked
what was his opinion of that great measure, made answer, that
he supposed "it was a matter of wittles." It is the same
thing now. The Irish Municipal Reform Bill is solely and
wholly, altogether and entirely, " a matter of wittles," neither
more nor less than this, " a matter of wittles." It is a struggle
between cheap government and dear government."—Liverpool
Chronicle.
On Wednesday last, Miss E. Dove, at Margaret-
ting, on rising about her usual time, complained of giddiness.
Shortly after she observed to her sister, " See how black my
finger nails are—don't you think I am dying ?" and before
medical assistance could be obtained she expired.—Essex
Herald.

---
THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND.—WhiIe the Libe-
rals cordially join in the general feeling of regret at the death
of the Duke of Gordon, they hesitate not to express their
satisfaction at the improved prospects which that event, in its
consequences, has opened up for the cause of Liberalism in
the North of Scotland. That Toryism in the North of Scot.
land will suffer by the demise of the Duke of Gordon there
cannot be the shadow of a doubt. The extensive estates of
the Huntly family are already the property of an adherent of
liberal principles, and the ancient titles of the deceased noble-
man must ultimately devolve on the individual who, on a re-
cent occasion, declared himself a thoroughgoing Reformer.
A Whig Lord-Lieutenant will be immediately appointed for
Aberdeenshire ; and, we trust, his Lordship will see the pro-
priety of superseding, at the earliest opportunity, the more
violent Tory Deputies, by Liberal Gentlemen of wealth and
respectability, who have long been overlooked. The natural
result of these important changes will be a great alteration in
the complexion of the politics of this and the adjoining coun-
ties.•-4berdeen Herald.

IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.
Sir ROBERT BATE SON had a petition to present from
a large portion of the respectable inhabitants of the city of
Londonderry and its vicinity, praying that House to pass the
Irish Municipal Bill as amended by the Lords.—( Hear.)
That was not one of the hue-and-cry petitions with which
the House had been inundated for some time past, in accor-
dance with the orders issued from the Secretary or Adjutant-
general at the head-quarters of agitation in Dublin. The
petitioners were deeply impressed with the noble and spirited
conduct of the House of Lords, and expressed their conviction
that the House of Peers was the best protection against the
efforts of evil and designing men, to subvert the third estate
of the realm.

The SPEAKER hoped the Hon. Member was not going to
read all the petition.
Sir R. BATE SON would merely read its prayer, which was
that the House would accept the Bill as amended by the
Lords, and thereby restore peace to that too much distracted
country. The petition was signed by 600 of the most re-
spectable inhabitants.
Sir ROBERT FE RGUSSON had a petition to present
from the same place. It was agreed to at a public meeting,
over which the Mayor presided. The petitioners complained
of the manner in which the Irish Municipal Bill had been
treated by the House of Lords—( Hear, hear)—and prayed
that no measure of Corporate Reform would receive the sanc-
tion of that House which did not place the Irish people on the
same footing as the other parts of the empire.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented petitions from Ballemena,
in the county of Antrim ; Cookstown, in the county of Ty-
rone ; Seapatrick and Aghadea, in the county of Down ;
and Drumcree, in the county of Armagh. These are from
the most Protestant parts of Ulster, and pray for Municipal
Reform on the same principles as England and Scotland, and
state generally that the refusal of such Reform would be an
infraction of the articles of the Union, and would prove the
necessity for its repeal. Also petitions to the same effect from
Raheen, in Queen's County, and Nlosstown.
Mr. STRUTT presented a petition from the Town Council
of Derby, stating that they could not employ terms strong
enough in praying the House to reject the Irish Corporation
Bill as sent down by the House of Lords; one to the same
effect from 2,000 inhabitants of Derby, and one to the same
effect from Loughborough.
Mr. GIL LON presented a petition from a place in Lin-
lithgowshire, to the same effect.
The LORD-ADVOCATE presented a petition from the
borough of Castledouglass, in Scotland, against the Lords'
amendments to the Irish Municipal Bill. The Hon. Member
said the people of Ireland ought never to rest content until
they were put on an equal footing with every other portion of
the empire.
Mr. H UME presented a petition, most numerously signed,
to the same effect.
Sir G. SINCLAIR wished to know the prayer of these
petitions. He thought it important to ascertain whether they
called upon that House to reject the Lords' amendments alto-
gether, or whether they prayed for the adoption of any other
measure, such, for instance, as that of the Duke of Richmond,
which proposed to give corporations to some of the large towns.
The SPE AK ER called the Hon. Member to order.
Sir G. SINCLAIR again rose to give notice, when ke
was again called to order by
The SPEAKER, who said it was competent for the Hon.
Mcmber to move that the petitions be read; but it was irregu-
lar at that period to give notice of any motion.
Mr. HUTT presented a petition from Hull against the
Lords' amendments to the Irish Municipal Bill.
Mr. It. WALKER presented a petition from Bury on the
same subject.
