The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis •
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
irc as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE %HUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified any, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER ;HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
mg the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
Ne Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
PALACE COURT, IVestminster, Oct 19.
(Before Ur. BRENT BRENT.)
FIRD V. JONES.

In this ease, as mentioned in The Sun of Saturday
last, a rule was granted to set aside the judgment, on
the ground that it had been improperly obtained. It
will be recollected that the defendant, a working gun-
imith, had all his furniture seized and sold at the
instance of a loan society, and his case has since
excited a good deal of public sympathy, the present
application resulting from the publicity given.
Mr. LOCKE, as counsel for the defendant, moved to
make the rule absolute on an affilavit of service.

Mr. KINGDON (Sheppard and Kingdon), as attorney
For the plaintiff, against whom the rule had been
granted, applied for a postponement on the ground
that he had not been able to instruct counsel, it not
being known what counsel would be in attendance.
Mr. LOCKE said he bad not the slightest objection
to let the matter stand over, but he must deny that
the names of the gentlemen who would be in attend-
ance were not known in time to instruct counsel.
He did not wish it to go forth to the public that
counsel did not attend. He wished to know whether
Mr. Kingdon made inquiries yesterday in order to
instruct counsel.

Mr. KINGDON said he did make inquiries, but it
was too late to instruct counsel when he ascertained
who would attend.

Mr. LocKE observed that his Learned Friend, Mr.
Paterson, had, in consequence of a message from a clerk
of Mr. Romaine (one of the counsel of the court),
waited to be instructed in the matter, but was not
consulted. " Let it not be said," added Mr. Locke,
" that you could not get a counsel."
Mr. PATERSON, thus appealed to, stated that he
waited at chambers till four o'clock, expecting to have
seen the attorney, as informed by Mr. Romaine's
clerk, and he could have been waited upon at his own
house had it been required; he was willing to attend
for his friend Mr. Romaine.

Mr. K[NGDON said it was well known that of late
counsel had not attended the court.

The Learned June remarked that they certainly
had not ; there had not been much for them to do.
lie might mention that they had not seen Mr. Locke
of late.

Mr. LOCKE pleaded indisposition for his absence ;
Mr. Romaine had been on circuit.

The Learned JUDGE, alluding to the recent elec-
tion of Mr. Best, another of the four barristers of the
court, as Member of Parliament for Kidderminster,
said he supposed he was attending to his Parliamen-
ttuy duties.
Locan—Preparing to attend to them. The.
Learned Counsel had no objection to the application
to let the case stand over, only he did not wish it to
be stated that it was because counsel did not attend.
Mr. KINGDOM said he would not trust to counsel of
the court attending; he would specially bring a gen-
tleman to show cause.

The Learned JUDGE thought time should be
allowed to show cause.

Mr. LOCKS hoped the rule would be peremptorily
fixed for Friday next. Every day was an object to
the poor defendant.

The COURT fixed Friday next.
Mr. Locus subsequently applied for copies of the
affidavits to be read in answer, as the rule was to
stand over as asked.

Mr. KINGDON expressed his willingness to accede
to the request. There was no need to trouble the
Court on the point.
The rule was peremptorily fixed for argument on
Friday next.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 19.
This Court sat to-day to hear bail cases and mo-
tions. By some mismanagement, as we noticed on a
former occasion, all parties were summoned to be in
attendance at ten o'clock, although it was ten minutes
past eleven when Mr. Commissioner Harris took his
seat on the bench.

IN BE RENTON NICHOLSON.
This insolvent was described as the keeper of the
Garrick's Head Tavern, Bow-street, and as formerly
a part proprietor of Cremorne-gardens, an exhibitor
of Poses Plastiques and Female Serenaders, and a
lecturer at various places upon poetry, music, and
song. His present application was to be admitted to
bail until the day appointed for his hearing.
In reply to questions from the COMMISSIONER,
The insolvent said, he had been a bankrupt once
and insolvent thrice before.

Mr. COOKE, who supported the application, re-
marked that the insolvent had continued since his last
insolvency to deal with many of his then creditors,
and had paid off 4,5001. 14s. 9d. since he was last in
this court.

The sureties proposed proving sufficient, the bail
was allowed.

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Nicholas Ryan was brought before Alderman Car-
den by Inspector Mitchell, of the City Police force,
charged upon suspicion of having received silk
shawls, scarves, handkerchiefs, &c., the property of
Messrs. Cook and Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard,
warehousemen, well knowing that they had been
stolen.
Inspector Mitchell stated that the case was con-
nected with the case of Burns, who was on Friday
committed for having plundered the warehouse of
Messrs. Cook and Co. In consequence, said the wit-
ness, of information which I had received I took the
prisoner into custody on Saturday afternoon, and
told him I charged him with having received a
quantity of silks, shawls, scarves, and other articles,
knowing them to have been stolen. He asked me
where they had been stolen from ? I said from
Messrs. Cook's, in St. Paul's Churchyard. He said
all he knew of it was, that Burns lodged in his house,
that he had lent Burns a box to put the things into,
but that Burns had since left his house, and stolen
his box. I asked him if he had any of the property
at his house. He said he had not. He then told a
fellow-workman to go to his house and tell his wife,
and I therefore sent an officer there to search it. I
took him at Standgate, near Westminster-bridge.
He said he lived at No. 2, Artichoke-place, New-
cut, and I found that such was the case.
Storey, the officer, said that he found at the pri-
soner's house in the top room, in a box, twenty-three
silk handkerchiefs, two shawls, and other articles, and
a ticket and several duplicates, some of which related
to handkerchiefs. The box was locked and he broke
it open, and he found there a board, which he pro-
duced.
The handkerchief's, the duplicates, and a ticket,
which belonged to the firm, and had been found in
the box, were produced, and several pawnbrokers
attended to give evidence, and stated that Julia Ryan,
the wife of the prisoner, had pledged the articles.
Julia Ryan, who was in attendance upon a sum-
mons, was then placed at the bar and charged as
having been concerned with her husband in receiving
the goods.
Mr. Jardine identified the whole of the property
as belonging to Messrs. Cook and Co., and stated
that they had been kept in a place to which Burns,
who had been committed for robbing the firm, had
had access. The witness, upon looking at the ticket
produced, said that he had written it himself.
Storey, the officer, said—When I went to No. 2,
Artichoke-place, to search the house, I saw the female
prisoner, and told her that her husband was taken
into custody for a robbery committed by Burns at
Messrs. Cook and Co's. She said she knew nothing
of any stolen goods. I began to search, and as I was
going up stairs she said, "Oh, I'll tell you where I
have got some things," and she took me to Burns's
room, and said they were there. She said they had
dropped from a box which Burns took away, and she
picked them up. I broke the box open, and found
twenty-three handkerchiefs and neckerchiefs; and
four duplicates relating to silk handkerchiefs, and the
ticket which has been identified by Mr. Jardine.
Ryan, whose demeanour at the bar was firm and
respectful, declared most solemnly that he never knew
there was any property of the kind in his house. He
had, he said, been all his life a hardworking man, and
he showed a pair of hands seamed and puckered with
toil in evidence of the fact, which he said the cha-
racter he had maintained amongst all his employers
would further confirm. He never had had a robber
inmate,
about his roof before Burns became an
about three weeks ago, and he never had a thought
that an atom of property was in his house which
should not be there. He had been taken by the
police from his daily labour, which produced that
with which he supported his family without disgrace;
and he could have no thought of being a receiver of
stolen goods.
Alderman CARDEN—Your wife knew where the
stolen goods were. Ryan—Mv Lord, she never
opened her lips to me about picking them up. I
never heard a word about them till the officer men-
tioned it.
Storey said he had heard an excellent character of
Ryan.
Alderman CARDEN said he believed the woman at
the bar had brought her husband, who evidently was
an industrious man, into the difficulty and disgrace
in which he appeared. Her story about picking up
the handkerchiefs as they dropped from Burns was
monstrously incredible. The Alderman then ad-
ourned the case to Tuesday.
The female prisoner appeared
.to, be quite over- ,

powered, and wept and groaned during the examina-
tion.

GUILDHALL.

Henry Sainbridge, of 60, Princes-street, Kingsland-
road, was brought before Sir P. Laurie (who came
on purpose to finish the case) for final examination,
charged with obtaining, by fraudulent pretences, two
chairs, a carpet, and other articles, of the value of
1001., the property of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co., of
Ludgate-hill, cabinet-makers, upholsterers, &c.
The prisoner was remanded until this day, when,
the depositions being made out, he will be conveyed
to Newgate.
William Hands, of 59, Augustus-street, Regent's-
park, was brought up for final examination before
Sir C. Marshall, in the custody of a metropolitan
police-officer named Lockerhy, charged with stealing
a horse, and also with obtaining, a quantity of goods
under false pretences.
The prisoner declined saying anything, and
Sir C. MARSHALL fully committed him for trial cu
five charges.
