INSOLVENT COURT._(THIS DAY).

The case of Arnold and Fisher, the copperplate-printers, of
Milton-street, Pentonville, which was befure the Court a few
days since, and had been adjourned to afford Mr. Arnold, sen.,
an opportunity of paying into Court the amount received by
him from the sale of the insolvents' property, was called on this
morning. A certificate of the payment of the money having
been handed up to the Court, the Learned Commissioner di-
rected the insolvents to be discharged.
Joseph Quick, a butcher, carrying on business at Woolwich,
applied upon his petition to be discharged. He was supported
by Messrs. COOKE and WoonßooFE, and opposed by Mr.
JONES.

The insolvent deposed that he had commenced business
without any capital in Oct., 1834, and had paid 251. for the
lease and fixtures of the house. He owed Mr. Rice, the de-
taining creditor, 2161., for meat supplied between January and
May last. Since then he had been dealing with Smith, another
butcher, as Rice had been pressing him for money. He had
paid Smith between 2001. and 3001. since he left off dealing
with Rice, and now owed him 1221. He had also done busi-
ness with a Mr. Lambert, and was now indebted to him 451.
He had been arrested in July, and two days before that he
called a meeting of his creditors, and directed his solicitor to
offer them an assignment of all he had, which he calculated
would pay ss. in the pound. His book debts were between
601. and 701. when he gave up dealing with Rice, and they
were now 221. The furniture belonged to his sister, and since
he had got into difficulties she had removed it. The day be •
fore he went into prison he had sold his horse and cart for 12/.
Mr. Commissioner 13owEN said the insolvent had no right to
sell his horse and cart, and that 121. must be paid into Court.
Mr. COOKE, on the part of the insolvent, said that should be
done, and the case was adjourned to Monday to enablo him
to do so.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAT.)

BO W-STREET.

DRUNKENNESS.— Thomas Allworth, a young man, without
either shoes or stockings, was put to the bar, charged with
being drunk in Holborn last night, and striking the policeman
who went up to assist him.
The prisoner's mother stepped forward and said he had
been left a considerable sum of money, which he had received
about a year ago, on coming of age. The family had kept
him at home for six months after, and he behaved tolerably
well ; but he then left, and had commenced a course of the
lowest dissipation. Whenever he got drunk he came home
and threatened her life, and the lives of the whole family.
Only last night his threats of murder were terrific, and she had
been so frightened for so long a time, that she had become so
nervous as to make her seriously unwell.
The policeman produced 15 duplicates for property of
various descriptions pawned by him.
His mother said it was all his own property.
Mr. Mirisnum, fined him 40s. for the assault on the police-
man, and in default to be imprisoned one month; and on his
mother's charge he must find bail, himself in 401. and two
sureties in 201. each, to keep the peace for twelve months.
EMBEZZLEMENT.—Thomas Perry, a fashionably dressed
young man, was placed at the bar upon a charge of embezzling
several large sums of money from his employer.
Francis M. Gill stated that he was a dealer in butter, cheese,
&c., in Axminster, in Devonshire. He came up to town every
six months, and entered into contracts with his customers whom
he supplied from the country, and then sent up the bills to the
prisoner, who was his collecting clerk. It was his dutyto re-
ceive the money, and immediately pay it into Esdaile's bank,
to the account of the Bridport Banking Company. From in-
formation which he had received, he believed the prisoner had
received many sums for which he had not accounted.

The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday.
In answer to the Magistrate, the complainant said the pri-
soner had acknowledged to him that he had received 2201.,
which he had lost in a gambling-house in St. James's-street.

HATTON-GARDEN.
John Derwish, alias Davies, a Mahometan, applied this
morning to Mr. BENNETT for relief.

He stated that he formerly lived in Bengal, but he has filled
the situation of servant in different English families, and the
last master he lived with discharged him without paying him
any wages, but had only given him a written character, which
he pulled out of his cap and wished the magistrate to read.
In consequence of not having any money, he was reduced to
great "distress, and was not able to procure a situation here.
Baylis (the officer) here intimated to the Magistrate that it
was only the day before yesterday the applicant had received a
sovereign from tlie Lord Mayor, to whom he made an appli-
cation under precisely similar circumstances.

The applic^ant stated that it had not all been laid out upon
himself.

Mr. BENNETT considered that his having been so recently
relieved by the Lord Mayor, it was quite impossible that ap-
plicant could be in such distress as he represented himself to
be, and therefore it would not be decent in him (Mr. Bennett)
to comply with the request.

A gentleman (a surgeon residing in Charter-house-square)
who was present, said he was acquainted with the agents to
the Turkish Embassy, and with the Magistrate's permission he
would write to them, intimating the situation of the applicant.
Mr. BENNETT assented, and the note was written, with a
view of obtaining a situation for applicant, but not for any
temporary relief.—Applicant thanked the worthy Magistrate,
and withdrew.
