SUPERSTITION IN 1849.—There is in the neigh-
bourhood of Honton and its Vicinity a population of
about 200, in which it is asserted that there are 19
witches; and curious enough it is to hear the different
tales of the people of the pranks played by this wonder-
ful class of beings. Some of the inhabitants sit up by
night, three or four together, for several nights follow-
ing, using some peculiar charm, instructed, they say, by
the wise man of the west. There they sit praying to
themselves, they must not hear each other speak, that
the witch may not any longer have power to scratch
the children, as they do by some invisible means; and
about midnight they generally hear some terrible un-
earthly noises. One person has even attempted suicide
under fear; some, they say, are hag-ridden; others
dream wonderful dreams, and have cramps, all of which
are attributed to the same cause. One person asserts
that she actually, at night, saw one of those wonderful
beings come into her room three times.—Sherterne
Journal.
HERRlNGS.—Herrings have again appeared on this
side of the Solway, and considerable quantities have
been caught on the Caerlaverock banks. On Wednes-
day the fish market was well supplied, but on Saturday
only to a limited degree. There has been a brisk in-
quiry for herring nets; and the children at the Ragged
School have not only got their stock on hand disposed
of, but have been busily engaged in nutting for some
days to meet the demands which have poured in. While
we notice the re-appearance of the herrings with plea-
sure, we trust that more caution will be used this season
in their consumption, the excess of which last year ope-
rated, we believe, injuriously on the health of the in-
habitants.—Dumfries Courier.
LOWESTOFT, SEPT. 27.—The Good Intent has been

LAW IN TELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 27.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)

IN RE GEORGE QUANTOCK, SUED AND• KNOWN AS

GEORGE WOOD.

The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on be-
half of Messrs. Green and Niner ; and by a creditor
named Woodhouse in person.
Upon being examined, the insolvent stated that he
was discharged by this Court in 1834, and went to
live in St. John's-lane, Smithfield, and at Croydon,
carrying on the business of an ivory-turner, under the
name of George Slade. He left each place without
paying the rent. His next residence was at Battler
bridge, where he commenced business as a draper and
commission agent, occasionally dealing in Birming-
ham and Sheffield goods. Ills debts contracted in
the shop during the three or four months he remained
there amounted to 6001. or 7001. At the close of the
business he sold the stock to a Mr. Nathan for 301.,
and left without informing his creditors. Shortly after
in the same year (1843), he went to Huddersfield, and
started as a grocer and draper, under the name of
'lock, remaining there about six months, during
which period he contracted from 2001. to 3001. of debts.
The next place he visited was Swansea, in Wales, w here
he opened as a grocer and provision-dealer, under
the name of George Slade. In the year 1845 he
quitted Swansea and went to Romsey, Hants, where
he was a grocer and general dealer, under the name
of George Tock ; and after remaining there six
months, during which time he paid no rent, and con-
tracted 2001. or 3001. of debts, he quitted and went to
Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, where, as well as at
Hanley, Staffordshire, he carried on business as
George Self. He contracted but a small amount of
debt at Gainsborough, and about 3001. or 4001. at
Hanley, His next remove was to Acton, Middle-
sex, where, in partnership with James Trueman,
he traded as a draper and tobacconist, under the
style of George and James Trueman. Had at Acton
about 3001. or 4001. of debts, perhaps more, but cer-
tainly not 1,000/.
Mr. COOKE said it was while the insolvent was at
Acton that his clients' debt had been contracted. That
debt was, fortunately, very small, about 121., and he
did not ask for any remand, as even if a case was
proved the insolvent had anticipated the full period of
a judgment by having been in prison more than two
years. The object of the present examination was to
expose the insolvent, and, in truth, the opposition was
at the expense of the London Association for the
Protection of Trade.

The insolvent further stated that upon leaving
Acton he went to Canterbury, where, under the
name of Quin, he commenced business as a candle
factor; thence he passed to Heywood, Lancashire,
where he was a grocer and draper, under the name of
Slade. He then went to Whitechurch, Hefts, where
he entered into partnership with Walter Lloyd, as
grocers, drapers, and dealers in toys and cloaks. His
next residence was Waterhouse-lane, Hull, where he
described himself as a journeyman cabinet- maker and
turner, then of Selby, Yorkshire, grocer and tobac-
conist, and afterwards of Old-street, St. Luke's,
London, whence he passed to the Queen's Prison.
Mr. COOKE said the insolvent having been so long
in prison, and the opposing creditors debt so small, he
never contemplated the Court pronouncing a re•
mand ; but it was important for the interests of trade
that the character of such a man should be exposed,
that when he got out of prison he should find some
difficulty in the way of his cheating other people.
His career had been marked by four insolvencies,
under which his debts were respectively 8571, 3,1311.,
1,1901., and now 5,000/. He had passed through
nearly the whole kingdom, and the result of his ac-
tivity was shown by the experience of 235 creditors
in the schedule; and to mark the whole in none of
his businesses had the insolvent kept any books, which
was itself the strongest proof of dishonest trading.
Mr. Woodhouse complained that he had been in-
duced to trust the insolvent by the representations of
a Mr. Atkinson, an attorney, of Carey-street, Lin-
coln's Inn-fields, who stated the insolvent was an
honest upright man.
The managing clerk of Mr. 11. R. Atkinson, of
Carey-street, who was accidentally in court, stated
that his principal was not the party alluded to.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said he found that he
bad done one thing for which he was sorry—he bad
granted the insolvent 151. out of the money at the
disposal of the Court for the assistance of 'poor pri-
soners. If he had known the facts that 'bad been
detailed to-day, he certainly would not have granted
this man one farthing, nor could the Legislature have
intended that such a worthless itinerant scamp should
be assisted by it.
The insolvent having been sworn to his schedule,
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER besought him, notwidr
standing the miserable reckless life he had been leading
for so many years, to endeavour to arouse himself
?rnse of integrity and uocal
I ctin court I§itiira-r4e-titnounts of
debt contracted under false names. Had it not beers
for the length of time which had elapsed since thsi
vesting order, which frustrated the power of the
Court, the insolvent might be certain that he would
not have been, as was now necessarily the case,
declared entitled to the benefit of the Act, and ordered
to be discharged forthwith.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Frederick Mills was charged with having obtained
money by means of a fictitious cheque.
The prisoner called at the warehouse of Mr. Von-
derhoyde, of Thames street, tobacconist, on Saturday,
and said he wanted about 151 b. of cigars for a friend
in Birmingham. He handed to the shopman a cheque
for 9/. Gs. upon the house of Williams, Deacon, and
Co., and asked for the difference between that amount
and the price of the cigars. As the prisoner was
known to the shopman to be a person who had lived
some years before in repute in the Borough, the
change was given to him, but the person who was
represented as the drawer was not known at the
banking-house as keeping an account there.
Mr. Blundell, a clerk at, Messrs. Williams, Deacon,
and Co.'s Louse, proved that no person of the name of
James T. Wallis kept cash there. The cheque-book
from which the cheque was cut might have been
issued from the house about the year 1833 or 1834,
but the witness could not say exactly when or to
13„ whom. Two other cheques of a similar character
were shown to the witness. They referred to another
LBs person in custody upon the charge of having obtained
,%% money upon them, and it was clear from the circum-
stances that there existed an understanding between
the two parties with respect to the three forgeries.
)4 The prisoner, who upon being-asked whether he
wished to say anything, and receiving the usual eau-
,o, tion, that whatever he should say would be taken down
and might be used against him, stated that he was
34 desirous to consult his solicitor before he should make
any observations, and was then committed for trial at
the Central Criminal Court.
John Pilgrim, a boy about fifteen years of age,
was brought up in the custody of Deady, the officer,
re charged with having committed several ingenious
314 I robberies.
.od.

On the 24th of August the prisoner ' alked into
;he shop of Mr. Grafton, of No. 81, Fleet-street,
watchmaker, and told the shop•boy that Mr. Grafton
6s I had promised to look out for a situation for him, as
he could not get a living by giving out hand-bills in
if the street, and requested the boy to go up stairs and
make inquiry upon the subject, presenting him at the
same time with a bill, which was laid upon the coun-
ter. In a few minutes the prisoner returned and
handed what he called his address to the boy, and the
moment after he was gone from the door a carriage-
clock, of the value of 101. 10s., was missed from the
counter. Deady apprehended the prisoner, told him
what for, and asked him for the bag which he carried.
The prisoner denied that be bad anything of the kind,
but the officer found one in his room, and it con-
tained a number of hand-bills, which it was subse-
quently proved he had stolen about three weeks ago
out of the shop of Mr. Izard, patent medicine vendor
in High Holborn, where he had applied for a place,
and represented that he was a poor fellow without
father or mother.

The prisoner—I have nothing to say but that lam
guilty.
The next case was brought against the prisoner by
Mrs. Davie, the wife of Mr. Davie, of 201, High
Holborn, watchmaker. The prisoner, it was proved,
went into the shop on the morning of the 14th of
July, and presented a patent medicine bill, asking
Mrs. Davie to purchase some pills. The offer was
declined, and the prisoner then inquired whether
she wanted an errand-boy, stating that he could get
a twelvemonth's excellent character. Upon being in-
formed that there was no occasion for his services, he
departed, and soon afterwards a gold watch-case of
the value of eight guineas, and two watches of the
value of 81., were missed.
The prisoner—I am guilty of that too.
The next charge against the prisoner was that he
had robbed the shop of Mr. William Boyle, of No.
28, Cheapside, jeweller. It appeared that on the 4th
of August he walked into the shop and gave the shop.
boy a bill about the cholera, saying, at the same time,
that Mr. Boyle had desired him to call about a situa-
tion which he wanted. An answer having been given
to the prisoner, who had been leaning on the counter
near the place in which some jewellery was placed,
he left the shop; immediately after twenty-nine split
plated gold rings and eight watch.keys were missed.
The prisoner—There's no use in saying anything,
else, or giving any more troullle—l am guilty.
Deady said there were several other cases against
the prisoner.
The ALDERMAN thought it was quite unnecessary
to accumulate charges, after the three acknowledg-
ments of guilt, and committed the prisoner to the
Central Criminal Court.

James Wentworth, alias Green, was brought up to
be finally committed for, trial. He appeared to be
just as indifferent as he was upon the former exami-
nation upon the charges preferred against him by Mr.
Reynolds and Mr, Beck for felony and misdemeanour.

When the depositions were read over, the ALDER-
MAN asked the prisoner whether he wished to say
anything, and told him that what he might say would
be taken down and might be used against him.
The prisoner said he wished merely to say that all
which Mr. Reynolds had stated about his identity had
not been taken down.

Mr. Reynolds said the depositions were perfectly
accurate.

Committed for trial.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.—The
follow-
ing appears- in the Cork Constitution:—" The works
consequent on the boring of the tunnel from Spring-
lane to the Glarnire-road are suspended, all the hands
engaged on this portion of the works having been dis°
charged on Saturday evening. No further reason for
this proceeding is given than that the directors are
desirous, for a couple of years, to test the traffic entering
and leaving the city by the temporary station at Black-,
pool, before they proceed further with the expensive
works consequent on opening the tunnel, and erecting
a permanent station on Penrose's-marsh, adjoining the
river Lee. It is said that the line will be opened to
Blackpool on the 15th of next month, when the direc-
tors propose giving a ball and supper at the Corn Ex-
change to fifteen hundred. It is understood that his
Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of
Clarendon will accompany the directors from Dublin
on the occasion. and honour the ball with their pre-
sence." The Cork Reporter says:—"ln reference to
the above paragraph, we regret to learn that the
cause assigned by the Great Southern and Western
Railway Company, for the stoppage of the works
at the tunnel, is—what they term the vexatious
opposition they have rtcsived at the hands of the Wide'
street Board, in claiming a roadway directly through the
railway terminus. Surely some means of arranging this
matter could be arrived at by arbritration, so as not
to
have so many hundred individuals as were Employed
turned adrift, and the completion of the line, which will
be of such importance to Cork, prevented."
HARWICH, SEPT. 27.—The Lady Francis of Sunder-
land put in here to-day, with damage, having been in

vessels have put in for shelter.
DUNDEE, SEPT. 26.—A small vessel,"supposed from
Campletown, went down in a squall 21st inst. off

Woonwron, SEPT. 26.—ESCAPE FROM HIS GANG
AND RECAPTURE CF A CONVICT.—A convict, named
Beery Conolly, while employed with several other con-
victs at the saw-pits near the west-end of the yard,
managed to hide himself, and leave his clothes, after
substituting a canvas dress, the same as is generally used
by the painters and others employed in working with
pitch. The convict had been missed before ho was
absent many minutes, and an alarm given at the gates to
be particular as to every person the constables allowed to
go out of the yard. Every exertion was made at the
same time by the police to find out his hiding place, but
he managed to elude them. When the men left work at
half-past five o'clock the gates were only partially opened
to admit of every one being more minutely examined,
as it is now more difficult to know the convicts from
labourers, since their whiskers have been allowed to be
cultivated GS they choose. Several of the guards of the
convict-ship were also present, to aid in detecting the
convict if he should attempt to pass cut with the work-
men eas th convirr.w.,..-1 (lone. After six
eerie :entries of the Royal Marines were posted out-
side the dockyard wall, and every precaution taken that
the convict should be captured. Police-constables were
also stationed in various parts of the yard; and about
eight o'clock ram. police. constable 207 B, James Willis,
observed a person p'ss across neatly opposite the slid,
under which the Nankin 50-gun frigate is bnilding, at
the cast end of the yard, and gave the alarm, when the
slip was surrounded, and after a considerable time spent
in searching for him with lanterns, he was found lying
flat on his Lee on a coil of rope, and taken to the con-
vict-ship. Dad it not been for the exertions made by all
parties to capture him, he would have effected his escape
during the night, and had evidently made his way from
the west end of the yard to the easiest place for throwing
a rope over the wall, and letting himself down on the
outside, when he found that, owing to the precautions
taken at the gate, he could not pass cut with the workmee.
EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AT WORCESTER.—EarIy
yesterday morning the shop of Mr. Gwynn, pawnbroker,
of High-street, was broken into and robbed to a serious
extent, among the articles stolen being twenty-one
silver watches, fourteen gold ditto, with an immense
number of silver spoons and forks, five cases of rings,
and a multitude of other articles. The till, had been
opened, but the little silver left in it was untouched. By
the side of the shop is a passage, leading from the
street to some tenements, at the rear of the premises, and
which passage is used in common by the tenants. The
shtp is divided from the passage by nothirg but a lath
and plaser partition, in which the thieves had made a
small opening, just large enough to admit a little boy,
and the principal agent of the robbery, must therefore,
have been very juvenile in years. The loss is estimated
at between 2001 and 3001. Every exertion is now being
made to discover the thieves, cur worthy Mayor, R.
Padmore, Esq., having immediately offered a roe and of
201. from his private purse, and Mr. Gwynn a
similar
sum, for the apprehension of the burglars. A gang of
these fellows is evidently prowling about this city_at the
present time, and it is therefore highly necessary that
every householder should look well to the safety and
defence of his premises. Several persons are in custody
on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery.—
