F IN ANCIA,L REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.

--- -
In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of: such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, In the fullest sense of the
trim, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every Individual. How this may
be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated
business system, wi'l readily show. Possessing large establishments
in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon
original cost, and the price Is mar= ed on every garment, in plain
figures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
" Cloib,ng," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
Nice list will testify to some extent :

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, April 24.
(Sittings in Banco.)
PRITCHITT V. SMART.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES said he had to apply to their
Lordships for a rule to show cause why the plaintiff
should not produce to the defendant a broker's book.
This was an application under the Stock jobbing Act
(7th George IL, cap. 8). It appeared from the affidavits
that this was an action on a bill of exchange, and that
the plaintiff was the indorsee and a stock-broker in the
city of . London. The defendant was acceptor as be-
tween the drawer and acceptor of the accommodation
bill. The Bth section of the Stock-jobbing Act prohibits
the buying and selling stock of which the parties are not
actually possesied at the time of the contract, and also
imposes a penalty o: 100/. on the broker negotiating such
a contract. Then it provided that every broker should
keep a book, which should be called the broker's book,
in which he was to enter all contracts and agreements
that he made, to the intent that such broker should
from time to time produce the same book or register.
The COURT said it was not pretended that the de-
fendant had any equitable interest in the book; and,
inasmuch as its production would subject the party to
penalties, the rule ought not to be granted. The refusal
of a bill of discovery in equity in an analogous case was
conclusive against the summary interference of a court
of law, which ought not to interfere in such a case, but
in support of a supposed equitable right, and to save
the party from going into equity. The motion failed
upon principle in every respect, and must therefore be
refused.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Richard Crossley, of Bolt-court, Fleet-street, ad-
vertising agent, addressed Alderman Lawrence, and said
that a young man had been brought up at this court on
Saturday last for obtaining certain moneys under false
pretences, by representing himself as an advertising
agent connected with the British Banner and the Patriot
newspapers. When charged he gave his name as John
Crossley although his real name was John Cohen, and
his (applicant's) object was, as a report of the case had
appeared on Monday, to obviate the injury which might
result to him if uncontradicted.
Alderman LAWRENCE said, ho had no doubt the press
would take notice of what Mr. Crossley had said. It
was known on Saturday that the prisoner had not given
his real name, but they could not then get at his right

one.
Mr. Crossley :then thanked the magistrate and with
drew

Bp tl7-STREET:
Yesterday two well•dressed men, named Patrick Hay
and John Aloes, were placed at the bar before Mr. Jar-
dine, charged with obtaining money and securities for
money from the Vicar of Huselor by false represent

tations.
The Rev. Cornelius Griffin, who resides at the above
place, near Stratford-upon- Avon, stated that a few weeks
back his attention was attracted by an advertisement
inserted in a morning newspaper, headed " Clerical
Preferment," and in the following words :—" A gen-
tleman has the power of nominating to a highly
honourable and distinguished appointment as chap-
lain, a clergyman, member of the Established Church.
The duties would be communications with the
highest personages in the realm, and it would be
useless for any one to apply who does not possess the
necessary qualifications. Lettere, pre paid, may be
addressed, confidentially, to Patrick Hay at Benson's
newspaper office, 11, Parliament-street." Upon which
he wrote a letter inquiring the particulars, and received
a letter, signed "P. Hay," and dated '24th of March,
No. 2, Cannon-row, Westminster,
stating that the ap-
pointment was that of one of her Majesty's chaplains at
a salary commencing at 604 a year, the nomination being
in the hands of Lord John Hay, and a sum of 6004
being demanded as a remuneration for the services of
the negotiator. Some further correspondence took
place, and the complainant was induced to part with up-
wards of 1001. on the promise that his appointment
should be gazetted immediately, which of course never
was done. The prisoner Alves was charged with having
subsequently endeavoured to obtain money from Mr.
Griffin, under the pretext of prosecuting Hay for the
fraud practised upon the complainant, and upon another
clergyman under similar circumstances.
The prisoners were ordered to put in bail, themselves
in the sum of 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each, to
answer the charge in a week.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
The court was like a fair, in consequence of the at-
tendance of persons to give information against the
woman who has for some time past gone about obtaining
goods and getting into debt in various quarters under the
assumed title of the Countess of Carlisle.
From the inquiries of the police,
it appears that the
prisoner has passed under various names in this country
and in Ireland, of which latter place she is a native.
From letters found in her possession, it would seem that
her maiden name was Dawson, and that she was the
daughter of Captain Dawson, of the 100th Foot. The
prisoner is supposed to have several sons, as a copy of
verses was found in her possession, addressed to her
youngest son, Irwin Gilldea, who had recently been sent
out to India. The name, however, she is best known by
is Wetherelt. It was in that name she took apartments
at Mr. Wake's house, 32, St. Martin-street, where she
conducted herself with such profligacy, that it was found
necessary to give her notice to quit, through the medium
of Mr. W. 11. Austin, solicitor, of St. Martin-street.
reply to the notice to quit, that gentleman read the
fol-
lowing epistle:—

dence shall end.
to tear, such a word is a nser.to her vocabulary.
" 32, St. Martin-street, Leicester-square."
Immediately after sending this letter the prisoner dis-
appeared from her lodgings with a table cloth and a
sheet, which she disposed of to a woman in Tottenham-
court-road for hall-a-crown. In consequence of the
publicity which the case has obtained, a lady came for-
ward and informed the police that the prisoner had
passed by the name of Madame Carvina, and
that she had obtained 700/. from her by
artful representations. The prisoner had ordered a
large number of pairs of stays from a West-end
tradesman named Marriott, which she had ordered to
be sent to Thomas's Hotel, addressed to the Countess
of Carlisle. Two tradesmen in Tottenham-court-road,
one a jeweller and the other a fancy article dealer, had
received considerable orders from the person in the name
of the Countess of Carlisle. These parties, however,
would not part with any of their goods, and the
prisoner then gave directions that the property should
be sent to the Earl of Carlisle's residence, who would, as
she said, immediately pay for them. Numerous cases
of a similar kind were discovered. In the course of
their inquiries the police ascertained that the prisoner
is the same woman who made her way into the Palace
a few years ago, when her language and demeanour
were so inexplicable that it was presumed she was
under some mental delusion. She was taken to Bow-
street, and being pronounced out of her mind by several
medical gentlemen, she was sent to the County Lunatic
Asylum, where she remained for about two years.
Police-constable Boyce having obtained some important
information from Lord Carlisle, informed the sitting ma-
gistrate, Mr. Bingham, that he was prepared with the
evidence against the prisoner Wetherelt.
The witnesses having been called into court,
Mr. BINGHAM said, with regard to the charge pre-
ferred against Mrs. Wetherelt, he had recently received
several letters which fully satisfied him the prisoner was
an insane person at the present moment. The prisoner
had been for a long while in the county asylum in con-
finement as a lunatic. Under these circumstances he did
not think it would be right to expose the prisoner to an
aggravation of her disorder by ordering her to be exa-
mined again in a public court. Ile should order her to
Ise given up to the authorities of St. Martin's, who would
take care of her as an insane person.
Police-constable Boyce said he had seen Lord Carlisle,
and his Lordship had informed him that the prisoner
had obtained 401. by means of forgery when she was in
Ireland, and when he was Secretary for Ireland. Ile
was quite willing to come forward and prosecute, as he
believed the prisoner was connected with a gang of
