SMALL V. ATTWOOD.

BOW-STREET.
A man, wl:o gave his name Edmund Gale, was brought
up in custody of M‘Gill, a sergeant of the R. division of
police, charged on suspicion of being concerned in a high-
way robbery and murder committed in Devonshire, in dilly
last. The officer produced the Hue and Cry and Police
Gazelle, in which he pointed out to Mr. Minshull the in-
formation on which be had apprehended the prisoner. It
was as follows :—" On the night of the 16th of July, Mr.
Jonathan May, of Sewton Barton, in the parish of Duns-
ford, county of Devon, on his 7eturn from Moretonliamp-
stead Fair, at. about ten o'clock, was attacked near the one-
mile stone, and robbed of his watch and pocket-book, and
murdered. A man, who for sonic time past has gone by
the name of Richard Turpin, stands charged with having
committed the said murder." After giving a description of
the man, which precisely corresponded with that of the
prisoner, it went on to state, that his real name is Edward
Galle, a native of Kingston, in Surrey, who had been in
the habit of dealing in horses, and of playing the pea and
thimble at fairs and races.

Mr. MirtisnuLL declared that upon the evidence ad-
duced it was his duty to send him into Devonshire for fur-
ther examination before the Magistrates there.
The prisoner was then secured with handcuffs, and re-
moved.

This long-contested, and as yet apparently interminable,
cause was again brought before the Court upon exceptions
taken to the interrogatories before the Master.
Mr. KNIGHT, in support of the exceptions, contended
that the inquiry ought not to have been directed beyond the
net profits of the concern. The interrogatories framed
were immaterial and irrelevant to the objects of the decree.
Some of them presented a physical impossibility of being
answered at all, while others were not within the compass
of years, even in copying alone. Six of these interroga-
tories were directed to the colliery at Wolverhampton, re-
quiring an account of all the iron-stone, coals, stock, &e.,
from September 30, 1825, distinguishing the quantity
gotten between pay-day and pay-day, and quarter and
quarter. The first of these interrogatories would afford
employment more than sufficient for the ordinary duration
of human life. If these interrogatories were allowed every
suitor would be completely at the mercy of his adversary.
Mr. WAKEFIELD supported the interrogatories.
His LORDSHIP postponed giving judgment.

ADMIRALT YMOURT.-SATURDAY

THE SLOOP PETREL.
In this case Matthew Russell, the elder, was to have
appeared to-day to show cause why he should not be or-
dered into custody for his share in running away with the
sloop Petrel, from Shoreham to Jersey, where she was sold,
and had since been carried, it was not known where. The
Court finding Matthew Russell the elder did not appear
ordered an attachment to issue against his person forthwith,

INSOLVEN T JSCBT(TRSI COURT

IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF GEORGE REES

NOVEL APPLICATION•

Mr. COOKE, at the rising of the Court this day, applied
to have a female creditor appointed assignee of the above
insolvent's estate. The insolvent was a short time since
discharged without opposition, subsequent to which a meet-
ing of creditors bad been convened, according to the rules
of the Court, in the London Gazette and other papers,
when no creditor appeared, excepting a female, who ap-
pointed herself assignee, subject to the confirmation of the
Court, and the Learned Counsel now moved the same upon
the usual affidavits.
Mr. Commissioner BowEN said that no female could be
appointed assignee to an insolvent's estate, except under
very peculiar circumstances. He and the Learned Com-
missioners thought the attorney for this lady should' go
round to the creditors, and, in the event of their refusal, to
accept the trust, the Court would re-consider the application.
Mr. COOKE said that application should be immediately
made to the creditors.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Aaron Moses, Joseph Aaron, and John Horns, were
charged with plundering the house of Mrs. Hart, of 33,
Gravel-lane, slop-seller.
During the temporary absence of Mrs. Hart her resi-
dence was entered, and, from information which she re-
ceived, she went to Three Sun-alley, where Hyams lived.
While standing at the door, she heard enough to convince
her that not only the thieves but the stolen property were
in the house. The police rendered assistance, and the pri-
soners were taken into custody, and the purloined articles,
consisting of eighteen pieces of printed and other goods,
found in the room.
The

prisoners were committed for trial.

GUILDHALL.

The Secretary of the New River Company attended this
day upon a summons, charging the Company with neglect-
ing and refusing to pay the sum of 201., due to the Rector
of St. Mary Somerset, Thames-street, for tithes.
A book was handed up, which merely specified " New
River Company, 201.," but did not explain on what pro-
perty it was assessed.
Alderman KELLY said it was necessary to have some pro-
perty stated, and inquired of the parish officers.
The collector said the tax had begun in the reign of
Queen Anne, and had continued through the successive
Companies until now.
The Secretary of the New River Company was very de-
sirous of knowing what it was for. The parish had been
asked before, and could not determine. He believed that
in the reign of Queen Anne the water for the supply of the
parish was kept in a cistern on the roof or in the steeple of

the church of St. Mary, and it was not unlikely it was as- WILLIAM E WART, ESQ., 1 •

Alderman KELLY declared that he had no power to order
tha Company to pay it, but he would recornurnd that thev ,
did so.

TO THE EDI-FOR OF THE LIVERPOOL COURIER',

his care and watchfulness in promoting the interests ni

to extinguish them. Sir, I do not hesitate to tali the /3
but
which the Dublin Company introduced into Parliament,
which, by the united efforts of our representatives and ethirer,
equally valuable friends to Liverpool, was lost on the third
reading, as a Bill for promoting the best interests of the tradesn

of Liverpool, and for improving and extending their conuexio
with the interior of Ireland. It was a Bill to enable the Com'
into subscribe additional capital in Ireland, to be expended
Liverpool. This was a peculiar feature of the Bill. I would
ask our worthy representative how he will explain this itereeMr
to his constituents. He voted for the Bill on the second reads,
in g-, and expressed his opinion strongly in favour of the general
usefulness of the Company. On the third reading, llaweveF,
he changed his mind, and assisted their Scotch rivals in their_
efforts to extinguish this Company. What could have caused
this change ? lie was entrusted with a petition,
many of the first and best-informed merchants and traders 9t
Liverpool in favour of the measure against which lie voted._
But be had a petition against the Bill, signed by the agents of
the Scotch Steam Companies in .Liverpool. Yet, what have the
Scotch Companies done for Liverpool ? Have they ever built
a vessel there, or expended a thousand pounds among its
tradespeople? Have the Dublin Company built any their

numerous vessels anywhere else ? They have in Liverpool a
ex-..
pended, within a few years, above half a million sterling, an
where would the new capital have been expended ? Exclusively
in Liverpool. They are now expending above 50,0001. a Year
chiefly among our tradespeople. Is that what stirs up the gall ant'
opposition of our Honourable Member ? Have they ever atell'
ped out of their line of business to interfere in politics, or in.
fluence a single tradesman's vote? Let him inquire from tht
highest to the lowest of his constituents, and ask, have not th
Company, during twelve years, promoted the best interests of
Liverpool ? But, above all, the great efforts and enterprise of
the Company in creating trade and intercourse in the bs, art of
Ireland, and leading the fruits of that industry which ':ney have
created, to the port of Liverpool, while, in return, they have
increased the consumption of every description of British m
nufacture in that country—all this gives them :a peculiar claim;
not merely to the support, but to the most active exertions an'
influence of the Representatives of Liverpool. Had Mr. twat

the folly of our Representative, and the worthy Conservati

the game of the cunning Scotchmcn, they would have curse
their own stupidity and folly, which could
lead them to crush
the real friend of Liverpool, at the instigation of those Whe

On her entree her Majesty was greeted in the most oPetmant
