LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept.l6.

IN RE MARY STILLWELL.
This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on be-
half of a Mr. Clark, and she was supported by Mr.
Nichols.

Mr. CoOKE reminded the Court of the circumstances
detailed upon the previous hearing. It appeared that,
in 1834, the insolvent obtained a small piece of land
from the Lord of the Manor of Ickenham, adjoining
the premises of Mr. Clark, and thereupon she built a
thing called a cottage, but in reality a hovel, which
gave great offence to a neighbouring gentleman, who
conceived that Mr. Clark had caused the erection for
the purpose of annoyance. Mr. Clark, to remove this
idea, endeavoured to obtain possession of the land,
offering a fair compensation. The insolvent, how-
ever, refused to retire, and, upon the advice of Sir
John Campbell, an action of ejectment was brought,
and set down for trial, but was by consent of Sir F.
Kelly, who appeared for the insolvent, referred to ar-
bitration, with the express concurrence of the insol-
vent, as stated by Sir P. Kelly in his examination in
the Court of Chancery. The arbitrator decided against
Mr. Clark, who paid the whole costs of both parties,
320/., and then offered 50/. for the hut, which was
not, in fact, worth more than 5/., but the insolvent
refused to obey the award, which was made a rule of
Court, and the insolvent committal to prison for con-
tempt, and she remained there for nearly five years,
when she was released upon bail. She had filed a bill
in equity against Mr. Clark, which was dismissed,
after putting that gentle:nan to very heavy expenses.
She was now in prison for costs, and the creditor
again was willing to pay her 50/. for what in reality
was only worth 51., and did not wish to keep her an
hour in prison. On the last occasion the insolvent al-
leged she had sold the property to her father, who was
examined, but the Court not being satisfied with his
testimony, required the attendance of Mr. Beetholme,
an attorney, in whose presence it was stated the money
was paid.
Evidence was given that efforts had been made to
subpoena Mr. Beetholme, who, however, could not be
found.

Mr. NictioLs said the insolvent conceived she had
a right to the property, and she had not felt bound to
accept the arbitrator's award. She had already been
subjected to an imprisonment of five years' duration,
by order of the Court of Queen's Bench, because she
believed, perhap erroneously, that the property in
question was her own, and that Court had discharged
her, thinking that she had undergone sufficient incar-
ceration. He hoped this Court would not require the
attendance prior to the discharge, as that person could
not by any effort be at present reached.
Mr. Cooas reiterated his client's disinclination to
Protract the insolvent's imprisonment, notwithstand-
ing the severe expenses to which he had been put
in this matter, amounting to more than 1,0001. He
would not object to the insolvent being discharged
to-day. _ _

Hi; HONOUR told the insolvent she was greatly
indebted to the Learned Counsel for the considerate
indulgence he had manifestei, and reminded her that
if at any future period the statements of the schedule
should be proved to be false she would still be liable
to the consequences of such misconduct. The story
told by the insolvent and her father about the transfer
of the cottage was very suspicious.
The insolvent declared it was the truth.
The COURT then ordered her to be discharged.
IN RE ROBERT EVENNETT.
This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon on
behalf of Thomas Flight.
The insolvent, on examination, stated that he was
bankrupt in 1829, owing 4,5001., and again in 1831,
owing 9501. lie was discharged by this Court in
1833 from debts amounting to 8441., and in 1839
from debts to the extent of 2,439/. He did not know
of any dividend having been paid on any of these oc-
casions.

It was complained that the insolvent had by vexa-
tiously pleading to an action brought by Mr. Flight
to recover 251. on a bill of exchange increased the
costs from 101. to 291. 9s. 6d.

The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, this was a
man who lived, as it was called, by his wits, going on
from day to day in various dealings of accommoda-
tion bills and transactions of that kind. He was now
an applicant for the fifth time to a court of law for
relief from debts amounting to 1,3401., of which 670/.
were those for which no consideration had been re-
ceived. The schedule evinced the perfect recklessness
with which the insolvent, after his previous experi-
ence, had rushed into the debt of tradesmen and others
of the poorest description. If the judgments of this
court were ever to be applied to the reprobation of
such a system, this was a case requiring the applica-
tion of that most wholesome clause, the 76th section,
under which the insolvent would be remanded for six
months from the date of his vesting order.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday John Walters, late a clerk at Messrs.
Da Silva and Co.'s, patent warehousemen, Bride-
lane, was brought before Mr. Alderman Hooper for
final examination, charged with having, duting the
eight months he was in their service, embezzled sums
to the amount of nearly 3001. The hearing occupied
the magistrate for several hours.
Mr. Humphreys and Mr. Kearns conducted the
prosecution, and Mr. Byard defended the prisoner.
Upon the first charge the offence of embezzlement
assumed a more serious shape, that of feloniously
forging in London a certain acquittance for the pay-
ment of money with intent to defraud her Majesty's
Postmaster-General.
Mr. White, a clerk in the Post-office, produced a
Post-office order for 31. ]6s. 6d., dated the 6th of
August, made payable to Da Silva and Co., which
he paid on the 9th to the person who presented it.
He also produced the advice of the postmaster of
Hull, dated the 6th of August, by which he found
the party who sent the order was Joseph Shaw
Weir.
Mr. Da Silva said he had a customer named Weir,
at Hull, from whom 31. 163. 6d. was due in August.
The signature " J. Da Silva and Co." on the order
was not written by him or by his authority, but it
was the writing of the prisoner. The custom had
been for the prisoner to bring Post-office orders to
him for his signature, when he crossed them and paid
them into his bankers. There was no entry in the
books of the receipt of the order, or the cash. He
identified a letter addressed to Mr. Weir, acknow-
ledging the receipt of the order, as the prisoner's
handwriting.
Cross examined—Had often seen the prisoner
write, and could swear to his hand. He generally
opened the letters, but had authorised the prisoner to
do so in his absence.

The prisoner offered no defence, and was committed
on the charge.
The next charge related to the payment of three
sums, amounting to 91. 10s. by Mr. Sanger, a medi-
cine vender in Oxford-street. The prisoner had given
a receipt on each occasion, but he made no entry in
the cash-book, nor did he account for the money.
The questions put on behalf of the accused inti-
mated that no authority to receive money had been
expressly given to the prisoner, and, therefore, an in-
dictment for embezzlement would not lie.

Mr. Humphreys re-examined Mr. Da Silva on this
point. He had recognised the receiving of money by
the prisoner, and hid instructed him to bring all
moneys received by him to his private house at night,
if he did not come to the warehouse during the day.
It was part of his business to receive money, and it
was his duty to enter immediately in the remittance
book whatever he received.

Mr. Alderman HOOPER was quite satisfied with
the evidence in this case, and committed the prisoner
for embezzlement.

The third charge related to the embezzlement of
the proceeds of two cheques, forwarded by Messrs.
Raines, of Edinburgh, for the sums of 561. 12s. 6d.
and 271.

Mr. Tabor, from Jones Loyd and Co.'s, proved the
payment of the cheques, giving the number the
notes issued on the occasion.

One of these was shown to have been paid by the
prisoner to Mr. Rait, a baker, in Mount-terrace,
Whitechapel, in discharge of a debt. One for 101.
was changed at Messrs. Barclay's, with whom Messrs.
Da Silva keep their account.
Mr. Leach, cashier at No. 26, Bride-lane, stated
that the prisoner applied to him to cash the cheque
for 271., and knowing Mr. Da Salva was out of town,
and understanding the prisoner had occasion to pay
money in his absence, he cashed the cheque.
William Twyford, residing at No. 1, Bride-lane,
occupied by Messrs. Da Silva, stated that on the 2d
of September he found some letters thrown into the
coal-cellar. One of them was a letter from Messrs.
Raines, respecting a remittance; another was a letter
relating to the prisoner's private affairs ; another was
a letter, containing the half of a note, addressed to
Da Silva and Co. A person having occasion to wash
his hands would pass the coal-cellar to go to the
cistern. The prisoner was apprehended the day
before he found the letters.
Mr. Da Silva proved that after the prisoner had
confessed he had received and spent s,-.me sums, and '
while witness was consulting. with his solicitor about
giving the prisoner into custody, he asked leave to go
down stairs and wash his hands, and was allowed to
do so. The prisoner had not accounted for the 56/.
or 271. He identified the prisoner's writing on two
of the notes given in payment of the cheques.
The prisoner's solicitor put questions to show that
Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co. could not identify the
prisoner as the person who changed the 561. cheque,
and some other like uncertainties.
Mr. Alderman Hoorn thought the case was con-
clusively brought home to the prisoner, and com-
mitted him for trial.
MA reLBOROUG4,STREET.
Yesterday William JachsolY Samuel Steele, and
John Murray, three well-known bad characters, were
brought up again for the purpose of being for-

=ally committed, they having been remanded in
order to procure the evidence of a boy who had gone
into the country unexpectedly, and to ascertain if
other charges could be brought against them,
The substance of the charge against the prisoners
was as follows:
William Jackson and Samuel Steele were first
charged with having stolen from the shop of Mr.
Robert Bird, linendraper, Great Russell-street, 120
yards of silk, worth 251.
Thomas Webb, of Great Swaffham, said, he was

recently in the employ of the prosecutor. On Thurs-
day last, about eight o'clock, the two prisoners came
into Mr. Bird's shop, and asked to look at some row-
ing shirts. The prisoners bought one and paid 2s.
for it, and also some other trifling articles. About
an hour after the prisoners had left the shop witness
missed one piece of silk containing 80 yards, and an-
other containing 40 yards of silk. Witness had seen
the silk safe on the previous night. Witness also re-
collected that the two prisoners had called the morn-
ing before, but had bought nothing.
Police-sergeant Langley, of the detective force, said
he apprehended the prisoners at the Blue Anchor
public-house, Bethnal-green. The prisoners denied
the robbery.
They were committed on this charge.
The next charge was against John Murray and
Samuel Steele, for a robbery at the shop of Mr.
Waylett, silversmith, 233, Oxford-street.
Mrs. Waylett stated that on Wednesday, the Ist of
this month, she was called to serve the two prisoners.
The prisoners wished to see some seals, but after the
seals were shown to them they would not suit. The
prisoners said, they would not give her so much
trouble for nothing, and after looking at a tray of
rings they ultimately bought a pencil case, and some
other small article. As soon as they left the shop, a
lad, named Camelford, who was in the shop, told her
he thought the prisoners had stolen something. Wit-
ness looked at the tray of rings and missed four, worth
at least 101.
The prisoners were also committed on this charge.
The commitments having been duly made out, the
prisoners were removed into one of the cells, a small
range of brick and mortar closets recently built on
the basement of the building, adjoining the kitchens
of the house. When the van came for the prisoners
it was discovered that all three had made their escape.
Some persons, it is conjectured, had got down stairs
unperceived, and had picked the lock of the cell, and
thus gave the prisoners their liberty. The escape of
the prisoners is by no means a surprising circum-
stance when the insecurity of the place in which they
were confined is considered.
Charles Ellerman, agent, of Pelham-place' Bromp•
ton, was brought up in the custody of the detective
police, charged with being concerned in a large
manufacture of counterfeit Turkish coin carried on
at Birmingham.
The police have received information that the
Turkisk Government have discovered that during the
last three or four years immense quantities of counter-
feit piastres have been circulated in the Turkish do-
minions. The amount of spurious coin thus intro-
duced is said not to fall far short of 100,0001. The
Turkish authorities having at last obtained such a
clue to the offenders as to induce them to believe that
the manufactory of false piastres was at Birmingham,
carried on by a person named Darwen in conjunction
with others, made application to the British Govern-
ment, and the result was that the detective police
were instructed to take the matter in hand. After
much patient inquiry they succeeded in procuring
such an amount of evidence against Darwen as has
led to his commitment at Birmingham recently. The
prisoner, Ellerman, who is suspected to be the agent
through whose instrumentality the shipments of false
piastres to Turkey as "iron nails" were conducted,
was yesterday apprehended by Police-sergeants Shaw
and Kendall of the detective police.
The prisoner was merely hrought to the court for
the purpose of being sent to Birmingham.
The requisite authority was given by Mr. BINGHAM,
and the prisoner was removed in safe custody.
THAMES.

An elderly-looking woman, named Elizabeth Ashill,
the stewardess of the Dutch steam. ship Batavier, was
brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with smug-
gling 5 lb. of foreign manufactured tobacco and cigars.
It appeared that Jones, a Thames police-constable,
saw the prisoner leave the Batavier in a boat, and
come on shore at St. Katharine's-wharf, and observing
her look very bulky he stopped her, and asked her if
she had anything about her liable to duty. She
changed colour, and said she had only 21b. of tobacco,
which was of no use to the officer. Jones told her if
she had any tobacco about her he must take her be-
fore his inspector, and she was accordingly escorted
by the officer to the Thames, where Inspector Evans
caused her to be searched, when a large petticoat
lined throughout, and suspended by straps to her
shoulders, was taken from her. It was filled with
tobacco and cigars. The petticoat was produced,
and its exhibition was sufficient to convince any one
it was made for the conveyance of contraband goods.
The prisoner alternately sobbed, clasped her hands,
and begged for mercy. She could not deny that she
carried a little tobacco. She could not say anything ;
she knew it was wrong.

Mr. 13ALLANTINE—Thie people on board the Bata-
tier are always smuggling. They have done so for
years. You are made up for smuggling, with a large
petticoat strapped to your shoulders. You will pay a
fine of 4/. for this, and if you do not you will go to
prison for one month.
The penalty was immediately paid.
HAMMERSMITH.

Yesterday Christopher Charles Thurston, a well-
dressed man, who was formerly a conductor in the
service of the Hammersmith Conveyance Company,
was placed at the bar before Mr. W. F. Beadon, the
sitting magistrate, for further examination on a charge
of having been concerned with others, not in custody,
in stealing, on the 3d inst., from the premises of Mr.
William Redkison, the Sussex Arms 'cavern, Broad-
way, Hammersmith, Bank of England notes to the
value of 1001., and a cheque on the banking-house of
Messrs. Drewett and Fowler for 121. 35. Bd.
The prisoner was first examined on Thursday, the
9th inst., when Joseph Gardiner, of No. 11, Ely-
street, Pearson-street, Kingsland-road, deposed that
he was a porter, working occasionally at Birch's, the
confectioner on Cornhill. The prisoner resembled a
man who, on Friday, the 3d inst., about half-past
two o'clock in the afternoon, came to witness on
Cornhill and asked if he was a porter, to which he re-
plied in the affirmative. He then asked if witness
knew the banking-house of Messrs. Drewett and
Fowler, and what his charge would be to go there
with a cheque. Witness told him that he knew the
banking-house, and his charge would he 61., when the
prisoner gave him a cheque for 121. 3s. 81., and told
him to go to the banking-house and get it cashed,
saying he had to be at the Cross Keys Inn, in Alders-
gate-street, at half-past two o'clock, and that witness
was to bring the money to him there. Witness told
the prisoner that it only wanted a minute to half-past
two o'clock, and then went with the cheque to Messrs.
Drewett and Fowler's bank, in Prince's-street, City,
where it was stopped, and witness was detained. Had
not seen the prisoner since that day until he then saw
him in custody. To the best of his belief the prisoner
was the same man. The prisoner had not, however,
the same coat on that he had that day.
The prisoner said it was the same coat he had on
at the time.
Mr. BEADON said, after that admission he should
remand the prisoner.
Yesterday the court was crowded by the inhabi-
tants of the neighbourhood, anxious to witness the
proceedings.
Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, appeared for the prisoner.
The following additional evidence was produced :
Francis Neville, of No. 35, Exeter-street, Lisson-
grove, deposed that,he was a cab driver, badge No.
8,642. On the afternoon of Friday, the 3d inst.,
about five minutes past two o'clock, witness was
standing feeding his horse in Lombard-street, near
the eorner of Birehin-lane, when he saw the old porter
whom he saw in court that day, and a man gave him
something into his hand, and he heard him tell the
porter to ask for the name of Roberts. About half an
hour or three-quarters afterwards witness was by the
Mansion- house, and again saw the porter with a gen-
tleman. Both got into witness's cab, but he had no
conversation with them until after they had got to
Hammersmith. While standing outside the Sussex
Arms witness told the ostler what he had seen, who
then told him there had been a robbery committed at
the house that day. Witness was then called in and
questioned as to the description of the man whom he
saw give something to the porter, when he said that
was a stout man, and wore an old velveteen coat or
jacket much worn, and a hat very much worn. Could
not identify the prisoner as the man. Thought the
man was stouter than the prisoner. The prisoner's
hat was like that worn by the man.
Inspector Morgan, T division, informed the magis-
trate that he should be able to prove, by persons who
were present when he made his first statement, that
he had omitted a very important portion of it.
Charlotte Skinner deposed that she was barmaid at
the Sussex Arms Tarvern. The prisoner had been
in the almost daily habit of frequenting that house for
the last two years. On the evening before the rob-
bery the prisoner was sitting in front of the bar when
Mrs. Redkison came down stairs into the bar, with
the cash-box in her hand. The prisoner looked at
Mrs. Redkison, and in a few minutes afterwards left
the house. The next morning he returned to the
house about half-past nine o'clock, and sat in front
of the bar. He was sitting in the same place when
the two other men suspected of the robbery came in
and went up stairs, about eleven o'clock, and also
when they came down and went out, about ten mi-
