• CAUTION TO SERYANTS.—rnie house of Mr.
DAVEY, in the King's.-road, Chelsea, was yester-
day broken into, about twelve o'clock in the
forenoon, and robbed of plate and other articles
to a large -amount, during the absence of a
servant, to whom the charge of the house was
intrusted.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF CAPTAIN PITCHER.-.=The
body of this unfortunate Gentleman, who was drowned on
Thursday night last, has not yet been found. _lt appears that
he was 'crossing from the Isle of Dogs to Greenwich, when a
person from the Yorkshireman steam-boat called out for a
sculler The Captain, who was accompanied by his servant,
told the waterman to return to the steam boat, as he was not
rimed .for time, and it would be an addition to his fare. The
Waterman accordingly returned, and called out to the steam boat
to stop',hut they continued prOceeding'at a very rapid rate, and
the boat coming in contact with the fly-wheels, it was broken
to pieces, - The pilot of the steam boat observing the accident'
cut away his boat; which was at the stern, and the waterman
and his servant succeeded in reaching it;
Their attention was
`hen directed to the Captain, who' was some yards off, :calling
for assistance, but before they could reach him he sunk to'rise
no more. Since that time every means that ingenuity could
devise have been resorted to tn•recover the body, but all have
been ineffectoal, and it is much to be feared that it has sunk
into' one of the ballast holes, and from Which it will not rise to
the surface of the water. A handsome rewartt is offered for the,
recovery of the body.

MARSH, STItACEY, AND GRAHAM'

BANKRUPTCY.

On Saturday a Meeting was held, before the
Commissioners, for the final examination of the bankkipts,
which was numerously attended by creditors. The balance sheet
of each of the bankrupts was produced separately, and sworn to..
They were voluminous documents.

illr. Commissioner DYNELEY said, this was the time for the
creditors to ask the bankrupts any questions respecting the ac-
counts they had delivered in.

Mr. IgArtiEw said, he wished to inquire of the Commis,
sinners., whether the deficiency of 94 thousand pounds, which
Appeared in the bankrupts' accounts, had been explained to their
katisfaction, as he was prevented by illness from attending the
late examinations?
.A day had been appointed for him to at-
tend at the Bank, to go through the accounts, but-he had only
entered on the examination when. the books were taken away to
a meeting that was held at lgr.ll.lontague's' and in consequence
of being obliged to attend since,at different Assizes, he had no
opportunity of obtaining the information he desired. W list
made him so anxious for an opportunity to examine the hooks
was, his havirig observed many entries Iv( made on erasures,
particularly in the Stock and Exchequer Bill accounts.
Mr.:Commissioner -Law observed, that Mr. Montage e ,
any creditor, might put any qtrestiOn to the bankrupts relative
to the erasures.

Mr: F. POLLOCK inquired of Mr. Mayhew for whom he ai)-
peared ?
_ _

, ‘,
7, Mr. IllavnEw said for several creditors ; and being asked
name one, mentioned his brother..

P0r..1.6Cx, Counsel for Mr. Stracey, observed; that
his brother's debt was but 791., and it would he much betterfor
the estate to pay it in. full than incur the expense of the dela:),
of the preceedings that must take place from protracted exami-
nations.

This proposal met with no support.
Mr. Commissioner LAW asked Mr, Wilkinson, , the.tte,
coutitant, whether there were tony erasures
,in the bankrupts
books ?
• Mr. Wilkinson replied, he believed not ten in the whole. •
.Mr. .MAYHEW proceeded to examine the bankrupts, and.ask-
-0 whether an .entry of 2,0251.35. 4d.,-4th July, 1823, Made bn
-an erasure in the ledger Al , was an original entry ?
Mr. Graham replied, it was a copy from the receiving day-
book of the same date ; he believed the entry to be in Air.
Fautiderov's hand-writing. .H.e.(Mr. Graham) was not well
acquainted with the principle on Which the receiving day-book
'was kept, but believed all monies paid into:the-bank were 'en-
tered in it. He could not tell whether the house had any Ex-
chequer Bills of their own that day, as Mr. Fauntleroy had the
sole management.
Mr. Commissioner LAW observed; that the bankrupts had
all along disclaimed any knowledge of those Exchequer Bill
transactions, and declared they had been entirely carried on;-by
Mr. Fauntleroy. • They had also disclaimed any knowledge of
Martin's pass book, or, of the deficiency. •
A Creditor remarked,,tbat probably some of Mr. Fauntleroy's
letters might throW light on the subject. .
Mr
.LAW. said they could not be received as evidence.
, Mr. MAY limy said, if the bankrupts dischrimed all know-
ledge of the most important transactions in their books, it was
useless to examine them.

Mr. Commissioner L.tw said, their answers really amounted
to that.

Mr. GRAHAM, in reply to questions put to hirti, stated, that
since the house stoppetLpaymenthe had not made nor altered
any entries in the boob, except bringing out the totals of sums
already entered, and believed no entries.or alterations had been
made by others, lie could not explain,. the,•spaie of the Ex-
chequer. Bill account in ledger M, by which it
.appeared that
upwards of 3,000/. more had been paid than was recetvel Two
of the books had been sent to Mr. Fauntleroy to Newgate two
days before his execution.
HEW stated, that the hooks were sent at desire,
and he was satisfied no alteration was made, as Mr. Forbes was
present the whole of the
Mr. Commissioner LANY, inquired whether any creditor could
give any information respecting the bankrupts• estate, or had
any question to propose to the bankrupts?
There was no reply.
Mr. LLOYD inquired whether the CommissionerS would 'al-
low the bankrupts to pass 'their final examination, when there
was a deficiency 0f:94,0901. entirely unaccounted for ?
Mr. Commissioner LAW stated that the-bankrupts had de-
clared on oath that they could not account for that deficiency ;
they bad, Under the smile sanction, answered all the questions
put to them, and were liable to prosecution., and transportation
if they had not answered truly, and the CompfsOciners were
bound to act on the answers they had given. • ' ,
Mr. Paynter submitted to the creditors on behalf of Mr.
Stracey, that his wife's jewels; valued at 5001. should 'herestored
to her.

A Creditor observed, that a considerable property 'of '3lti.
Stracey's had been brought into the business. •
Mr. Wilson moved, that Mrs. Stracey's jewels 'should be
restored to her.

The question' was put and carried unanimously.
A Creditor proposed that Colonel Graham's gold watch and
seals,
.and snutf-box, and his wife's watch wad seals, should
be restored to them ; that,, he said, was all 'Colonel Graham
asked.

Mr. Montague observed, that his not asking should be a. rea-
son with- the creditors for giving.
Mr. Wilson moved that Mrs. Graham's jewels, valued' at
three hundred pounds, should be restored to her.
The proposal was unanimously agreed to.
1: r. Wilson moved that Mrs. Marsh's- jewels,- which were
under.three,hundred pounds'in value, should be restored to her.

A Creditor objected : he said Mr. Marsh had returned an
account, stating his expellees for thirty-two years at six thousand
pounds, and was debtor to the estate of near seventy thousand
pounds, and he believed had brought little or. nothing into:the
house. .

Mr..lllarsh said he brought upwards of 40,8001. into the
house, in -the. year 1810, in ten days. He borrowed it froth a
.dear friend, and sold an estate to pay him. He owetta hew
debt, to. the house,. but had it not been for - the Causes that,pro-,
duce& the failure, it would have' been all discharged'. -He
ihad nut asked for any thing ; it was the liberal proposal 'of a
creditor. lie was now at the age of 71, left without- a bed,' or
table, or even a joint stool. Ho had placed blind confidence,
but no man could say that he had ever committed a bliifei".
The Creditor who had opposed the grant of the jewels Said he
withdrew his opposition, an the proposal was then nrchl: to
unanimously.. •
The Btnk-rupts passed their final eXaininatiot4and the Meet-
.
lag adjourned. .

TARDY DISCOVERY OF CRIME IN RAvcc•----
In the year 1817, about the month of May, a horable crime
was committed within two leagues of St. Quentin. The cri-
minals have from that time escaped the pursuit of justice until
now, at length they are detected. The facts are these. TWO
persons, father and son, named Demarly, a third named Trott-
chain, and a fourth individual, whose name is not yet know!),
hadlearned that the proprietor of the farm of Trombe, situated
wto leagues from St. Quentin, in an isolated place, had reetived
the sum of 5,008 franca, and they resolved to seize it. 'They
went to the farm at an hour in the day, when the maid-servant
was gone to church. The farmer was a very old man, and
of a charitable dispoAtion, hael'thej practice of giving strPiilies
every Sunday to an old beggar, whom he sometimes
,urvited -to
take dinner with him. The two old men were seated at
table, when the four villain's 'entered and murdered bOtli of

bodies jut° a well, they pillaged the hou.
