Wttetford Arms, ia tha Haymarket, and whose case was
before the Court a. few days ago, appeared for adjudication.

sustained in a few months a loss of 60/. on the hr.:Elk -,ga
of glass and the damage of furniture at the Waterford
Arras. She had several debts owing to her from " gen..
tlemen" who used the house, and among the list in the
teliedule appeared two persons of title; and she stated one
of the causes of her insolvency to be her inability to collect
her debts. Lord Waldegrave was a debtor for about 48/.
for " wine and money auvanccd." The services on ere.
ditors wets now complete.
The Court ordered tie insolvent to be discharged.

IN RE MARY GRAHAM.

The insolvent was a very old lady, and was so unwell as to
require the attendance of the prison-matron in Court. She
applied to be discharged under the Act, and was opposed in
person by George Allen, who stated that he was a farmer in
Alaber+on, county of Middlesex. He acted in the present in-
stance as the executor of his brother, William Allen, deceased,
from whom the insolvent held a house at the annual rent of
1701. In March, 1840, a year's rent was due, cut of which she
paid 401., and a writ was served on her for the balance, on
which she was taken in execution. He opposed her discharge
now on the ground that by defending the action the insolvent
had vexatiously put him to 101. ex ra law costs.
In reply to Mr. Cooke, who appeared in support of the insol-
vent's application, Allen stated that after the writ was served
for the sum of 170/. she paid him 401., and three days after the
declaration was filed she pal,' him 40/. more, so that now she
was indebted only in 901. He also acknowledged that he knew
she was very ill and keeping her bed at the time.
The insolvent stated to the Court, that she took the house
nine years ago, and paid for eight years at the rate of 1701.
annually; the last year, in consequence of severe illness, she
vs as unable to meet the rent immediately, and the action was
brought in consequence. When she first took the house she
had 1,6001. in the funds, all of which was expended in March,
1840, except 138/. ; this she 'sold out, and paid the opposing.
creditor 801. out of his demand, and the remainder she ex-
pended in paying servants and tradesmen. Her reason for
defending the action was, that being on a sick bed she was ap-
prehensiie of being thrust into prison. " Yet (as the cl.l
lady herself expressed it, with tears in her eyes,) 1 hive been
now in gaol since the co'd month of January, with no means
of support but what a few old friends have afforded me."
Mr. Cooke produced a great number of duplicates for small
articles of wearing apparel, which she was obliged to pawn at
sums varying from 6d. to 3s.
Mr. Commissioner BROWNE asked the opposing creditor
if he had any remarks to make.
Allen replied that he still considered the opposition to his
action vexatious.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he did not blame
1%.1 Allen for the course he felt bound to pursue, but he (Mr.

A most atrocious' crime has been committed in
the house of a noble family in the Faubourg St. Germain,
whom it has plurged in the deepest dirt- ess. The lady
of the Louse, young and of great beauty, had had fur
some time iir her service a Corsican cta'seur, who it ap.
pars had secretly entertained designs of the most crinti-
nil nature upon his mistre?s. A few nights since, after
the lady, who slept in a part of the mansion distant from
her husband's apartment, had retired to bed, and her fe-
male attendant had been gone for some time, the chasseur,
who had concealed himself in her room, made bit appear.
ance, and, notwithstanding a most desperate resistance,
went to the last excesses with his unfortunate mistress.
The villain bad taken every precaution to stifle her cries,
and prevent any sound from being heard; he had even cut
off the hell-ropes. The crime was nut discose red till
next morning, when the lady was found lyicg tin the fl e r,
senseless, most severely injured, and bleeding. ehe
wounds she had received testified to the horrible. struggl.,
she had made in her defence. The feedings of the hue_
band may le more easily conceived than described oe the
dreadful intelligence being cemntunicated ; and it was a
Icy g time befure the luey .could be so tar restored as to
give any account of what had happened. The man, who
had absconded, has -been arrested.—Gulignani of Wed-
