LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 10.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.)
IN RH ROBERT RICHARD SCANLAN.

This insolvent, an artist of some celebrity, was
opposed by Mr. Barnard, a carver and gilder. A
butcher opposed in person ; and Mr. Cooke sup-
ported.
The butcher complained that three days after the
insolvent petitioned under the Protection Act he got
a leg of mutton and rump steaks from him, and on
the following day he received a notice as a creditor of
his present application.
Mr. CooKE—Well, he is not discharged from the
leg of mutton.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—But is it proper
conduct ? Will he pay for it ?
Mr. CooKE said the butcher could sue the insolvent
in the County Court for the debt incurred after the
petition. What's the amount of the leg of mutton
and rump steaks ? I'll pay it.
The butcher said Bs. 9d., and the Learned Counsel
handed him the money.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—It is very generous
conduct of yours, Mr. Cooke, to pay the money. You
have set a precedent to the bar.—(Laughter.)
Mr. SARGooD said the bar had great respect for
Mr. Cooke's practice.—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he remembered
Mr. Alley once paying 20/. to four tailors.
Mr. Barnard opposed in person, and occupied some
time.

Mr. COOKE pleaded for the insolvent, that he
was a struggling artist, with a family, and much to
be pitied.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS gave his opinion at
some length. He thought the insolvent had struggled
with poverty and sickness for some time. Under all
the circumstances, he held that the insolvent was en-
titled to his final order.
The Court accordingly made the final order.

POLICE IN T ELLIGENC4.
LAMBETH.
Sarah Francis Ewins, the intended victim of the
youthful convict Jordan, who, with the Meanings,
was left for execution, but whose sentence has been
commuted to transportation for life, waited on the
Hon. G. C. Norton, with a petition ter relief from her
grandmother, an aged female, on whom she is wholly
dependent for subsistence.
It will be recollected that the applicant had been
seduced by Jordan, under the solemn promise of
marriage ; and that, in ract, she left a situation on the
25th of July, and proceeded to the chapel of the Rev.
Mr. Frazer, in Regent street, to be united to the con-
vict, but he never made his appearance, and the COB.
sequence of her connexion with him was her present
advanced state of pregnancy. In reply to the ques-
tions of the magistrate, who pronounced her a " living
wonder," the young woman said that she had been
discharged from Guy's Hospital, and being without
father or mother, or other friends to assist her, she
returned to her grandmother, who had always been
very kind to her; but the poor woman having nothing
to depend on but her exertions as a charwoman, and
being 66 years of age, was wholly unable to maintain
her in her present state, and therefore it was that
she sought some relief to enable her to get over her
confinement.

In answer to the further questions from the ma-
gistrate, the young woman, whose appearance and
manner are very much in her favour, said that though
she had called three times at Horsemonger-lane she
had not seen Jordan, but was told on Tuesday last,
by the Governor, that she might have an interview
with him on Tuesday next. She further said, that
the wound in her throat, which had been very exten-
sive, was healed, as •well as those on her person,
with the exception of one, but that she had no doubt
would maim her for life. The applicant here exhibited
the fore finger of her left hand, which was much
withered and deformed, in consequence of the first
joint having been cut completely through with the
razor, on her putting it up to save her throat, and
said she had no doubt it would be an infliction to her
for life.
Mr. NORTON thought the case of the unfortunate
young woman deserving of public sympathy, and
one which, he doubted not, the public would respond
to. The case, however, having been before his col-
league, Mr. Elliott, he did not wish to interfere in it,
but recommended the applicant to wait on that
magistrate.
The young woman said she should do so, and hav-
ing thanked Mr. Norton for his sympathy and kind-
ness, left the court.

Richard Ire, a journeyman baker, was placed at the
bar on a charge of stealing silver spoons, money, and
other property, belonging to Mr. Richard Baker, of
26, Church-street, Lambeth, his late master.
From the statement of Mr. Baker, it appeared that
on the night of the 28th of August last, between the
hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, he retired to rest,
leaving the prisoner in the kitchen to attend to the
morning's bakings, and before he left he mentioned to
the prisoner that he should leave his bed-room door
open, the night being so very close. Some time after
going to bed he heard the prisoner moving about,
which he thought rather singular, but, at the same
time, did not dream that he meant anything wrong.
Ou getting up the following morning, he found his
large kitchen poker lying at the foot of his bed, and

also discovered that his drawers had been ransacked,
and some wearing apparel, silver spoons, and other
property carried away, and that the prisoner had ab-
sconded. On Wednesday night last Mr. Baker left
the shop for a few minutes, and during his absence
somebody had entered and carried away some silver
spoons, silver money, and other property, and having
no doubt the robbery had been committed by some
person acsaainted with his habits and the premises,
he, in giving information of the robbery, mentioned
the name of the prisoner as the person be suspected.
On Friday night the prisoner was apprehended near
the Marsh-gate, and when taken before the prosecutor
he acknowledged having committed the last robbery,
and being a party to the first. He subsequently con-
fessed to Mr. Baker that the person who assisted him
in the commission of the first robbery had armed him-
self with the kitchen poker, with the intention of
dispatching him, and had the formidable weapon
actually raised up, and was about to strike him (Mr.
Baker) on the head, while he lay asleep, when he (the
prisoner) caught and arrested his arm.
The prisoner did not deny this when before the
magistrate; and Mr. Norton, having congratulated
Mr. Baker upon his narrow and fortunate escape, re-
manded the prisoner to a future day.
