INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY).

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY.
Charles Perry, an insolvent, who was unopposed, applied
on his petition to be discharged.
The insolvent had been declared a bankrupt since his im-
prisonment, and his first examination before the Commission-
ers was fixed for the 10th inst.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, to whom the above
facts were stated, declined to make the usual inquiries. He
observed that the insolvent's schedule, like innumerable others,
would swell the list of cases and amount of debts registered
in that Court, without any participation being allowed in the
distribution of the assets. The consequence of this was
that a degree of odium was most unfairly cast upon that Court,
as persons would naturally refer to the amount of debts and
number of schedules filed in it, forgetful that the property was
administered by another tribunal, and it would perhaps be al-
leged that the creditors on the insolvent's schedule received
the smallest dividends out of the property. The creditors
should now pursue the property under another system, and
all that remained for him was to discharge the insolvent.
The insolvent was then discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(THISDAT.)

BO W- S TREE T.
Four gentlemen, named John Dwyer, Charles Chambers
Henry Jones, and Edward Scott, were charged before Mr,
MtssutlLL' and Mr. BALLARD, a county magistrate, with
creating a disturbance early in the morning.
Mr. Sewel deposed that he kept a livery-stable in Arun-
del-street, Strand. About half-past one o'clock this morning
he was awoke by his bell ringing very violently ; he went to
the window, and there he saw the prisoners, who demanded a
dog from him. He told them he knew nothing about it;
there was no dog belonging to them in his stable, and
desired them to go away. They used very bad language,
and swore they would not leave till they got the dog. They
would pull the house down but they would have it. They
continued pulling at the bell, making a great disturbance ; he
therefore put on some things and went down. He had no
sooner arrived at the gate than one of them, he thought it was
Scott, but he could not swear it was him, struck him on
the face through the bars. A policeman came down, and at-
tempted to reason with them, but whether he did not properly
know his duty, or whether he was afraid, he (witness) did not
know, but he refused to take them in charge, and went away.
They continued very noisy, and threatened him with severe
personal punishment. He opened the gate to get assistance,
when Scott put himself in a fighting attitude, and threatened
to pitch into him. Luckily for him two other policemen had
been alarmed by the violent ringing of the bell, and came up
to his assistance. Both he and the policemen tried to per-
suade them to go away, but they would not, and he gave
them in charge. With respect to the dog, all he knew of it
was, that about two weeks ago Mr. Chambers, who lodged in
Arundel-street, brought two dogs to his groom, who took
them in, contrary to his orders. After they had been there
three days, he (Mr. Sewel) desired his groom to take them
home. He took them away, and told him that he had taken
them to another stable, with which the owner was acquainted
and satisfied.
A neighbour of Mr. Sewel's spoke as to the disturbance.
He kept lodgers, who along with himself were much alarmed.
The groom gave the same account of the dogs as he had
given to his master.
The two policemen said, hearing the noise, they went to
Mr. Sewel's house, and took charge of the prisoners. As
they were walking along the Strand, Jones (who, as also
Dwyer and Chambers, were "bearded like a Pard" in the full
French fashion) said, " If this was in France we would stick
a dagger into you."
/V.r. CHAMBERS desired the prisoners to give an account of

themselves.
Scott said he was an officer in the Navy ; Jones, an
officer in the army ; Chambers said he was a private gentle-
man, and Dwyer said people usually called him a gentleman,
and sometimes went so far as to call him esquire.
Chambers then said that the groom had told him that he
had put the dogs into another place. He had got one of
them, and yesterday went three times to get the other, but
could not. Ile went at so late an hour because he had paid his
passage to France for this morning, which was now lost. They
were naturally violent, for a man looking out of a window on
the complainant's premises told them the dog was confined in
a back stable.
Scott denied that he struck Mr. Sewel, though he had
threatened him, because he thought he did not use them fairly
about the dog, and his language was as bad as their's.
Jones strenuously denied that he had made use of one of the
words attributed to him by the policemen.
Mr. Sewel said he was afraid of all the prisoners. He
knew none of them, but they were all equally violent to him in

threats.
Mr. MTNsnuI.L said he would hold the owner of the dog
(Chambers), and the one who used such threats to the police-
men (Jones), to bail, two housekeepers in 501. each. The
other two must find bail for 201.
Mr. BALLARD concurred, and the prisoners were locked up.
