LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 15.
(Before M. Commissioner SREPHERD.)
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF SARAH CHALONER.

The bankrupt carried on business as a dressmaker
in Charles-street, Westbourne- terrace. The debts
were about 7001., and the assets 1001. This was a
meeting for the last examination.
Mr. Frazer, solicitor, of the firm of Wood and
Frazer, opposed.
The facts of the case are of a singular character.
The bankrupt kept only one account book, and in it
were entered debts to the estate to the amount of 400/.
for various articles of dress. When the fiat issued,
the bankrupt was questioned concerning those debtors,
but it turned out that not one of them owed her
a farthing, nor had they ever heard of her. She stated
that from time to time she had advanced sums of
money to her daughter, who had resided with her, the
young lady assuring her that such sums were to be
applied to the purchase of dress; but instead of so apply-
ing it, spent it in the most extravagant manner. Be-
tween the months of May and August last 2301. was
given by Mrs. Chaloner to her daughter, for the sup-
plying dress to customers, but instead of supplying it,
Miss Chaloner had-subsequently stated that she in-
vested it in tickets for the Italian opera on Jenny
Lind nights, and that she distributed those tickets
among her friends. Miss Chaloner, however, handed
in imaginary accounts for dresses bought for custo-
mers, and one of these accounts set forth a Honiton
lace dress at 631.

Mr. FRAZER, addressing the Court, said this was a
singular case, and he must say, on the part of the
assignee, that there were some most suspicious cir-
cumstances connected with it. When the mes-
senger's man went to take possession there was no
stock of any description, no plate, nothing but the
furniture. Upon making inquiry they were informed
that cabriolets had been seen to drive away from the
house laden with goods, and their suspicions were
very much confirmed by the fact that a cabman's
bill had been sent in, amounting to nearly 8/., for the
use of the vehicle.

The COMMISSIONER asked the bankrupt how tha
was.

Mrs. Chaloner positively declared that there had
not been a single farthing's worth of her goods re-
moved, and that she had never used the cab herself.
She could not say that her daughter had not done so,
or her apprentice.
A SOLICITOR, who said he attended from motives
of charity towards the bankrupt, declared his belief
that Mrs. Chaloner had acted with perfect fairness
and honesty. She had been imposed upon by her
daughter, who acted most foolishly. lie assured the
Court that the poor old lady was now almost desti-
tute. She had given up all the property she possessed
to the assignee to make her an allowance, so that she
might employ an accountant to prepare a statement
of her affairs.

The COMMISSIONER recommended an allowance,
which was granted, and the meeting was further ad-
journed, so that accounts might be prepared.

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT, Oct. 15
(Before D. C. MOYLAN, Esq.)
TOZER V. COGIIILL.

The plaintiff in this case, a gentleman residing in
Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, summoned the
defendant, the collector of the poor-rate for the parish
of St. Paul, Covent-garden, to recover back a rate paid
twice over.

A gentleman who attended for Mr. Tozer stated,
that on the 15th of June last the Midsummer rate was
paid to Mr. Coghill by a servant of Mr. Tozer's. Two
days after the rate was again paid, Mr. Tozer having
forgotten the previous payment, and he now sought
to recover back that rate, as he contended the col-
lector had no right to receive, rates in advance.
Two receipts were handed up to the Judge, upon
which it was found that the diZendant had given
credit for the Michaelmas rate, applying one of the
payments to the latter quarter.
The JUDGE said, the Michaelmas quarter being
due, surely Mr. Tozer could not complain of getting
credit for it.

Mr. Coghill said he had the power to collect the
whole rates for the year if he thought proper. The
money he had received twice over he had pail to the
parish, and credit had been given to Mr. Tozer for it.
The Learned JUDGE said, that having revised the
lists of voters for Westminster for several years, he
knew that in the parish of St. Paul but one rate was
made in the year, and if due notice had been given of
that rate, the whole of it was due. It was solely a
matter of convenience to the ratepayers that it was
collected quarterly. Mr. Coghill would be justified
in not only collecting the rate due at Christmas, but
even up to Lady-day. The case must be dismissed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

William Henry .Kavanagh, of Brentwood Hall,
Essex, aged 40 years, was brought before the Lord
Mayor yesterday upon the charge of abduction.
Nearly three months ago a respectable family, resi-
dent in the neighbourhood of St. Paul's, was thrown
into the greatest distress by the disappearance of the
eldest daughter. Advertisements appeared in the
newspapers upon the subject, and at length it was
' ascertained that the girl had been betrayed and ruined
' by the defendant, who was unknown to her relations,
but had prevailed upon her to leave her father's house
by promising to marry her. The girl suddenly ap-
peared before her father a few days ago, and having
in the most affecting manner expressed her sorrow
and contrition, said she had been abandoned by the
man for whom she had made so great a sacrifice, and
who had sent her the following letter, in which was
enclosed the liberal present of a Si. note to comfort and
support her. It appeared that Mr. Kavanagh had
paid his attentions to her under the name of Kent :
" Dover, Monday Evening.
"My dear Lizzie,—All has turned out as I feared.
I have travelled 210 miles here, and when you receive
this I shall not be in England. Do not fret. lam
too distracted to advise you. You had better, how-
ever, leave at once, and go to anywhere (perhaps
Gravesend), as you will be alone, and where you can
be economical. You say I sent for you to come at
once, and thus leave without any questioning. But
do any other thing you may think best, as I am
puzzled what to do myself, except to get out of the
way. lam only two hours' sail from Boulogne, in
France. I enclose you a part of little all, and know
not what to do, except to ask you to forget and for-
give your unhappy
"Do what you please with anything you findi.
The letter was addressed " Mrs. Kent, I\ o.
Duke-street, Portland-place, London." By the in-
strumentality of the bank-note the real name and ad-
dress of Mr. Kavanagh were discovered. The father of
the girl ascertained at the Bank that the note, which
was numbered 18,419, and bore date Sept. 13, had
been paid at that establishment on the 9th inst.,
to William Henry Kavanagh, Esq., of the Adelaide
Hotel, London-bridge. Application was made to
Inspector Todhunter, who finding that all the girl's
clothes had disappeared when she left the house,
readily directed one of his men to apprehend and
bring the offender to the Mansion-house. It was soon
found that Mr. Kavanagh, instead of having left town
for France, had slept at the Adelaide Hotel on Mon-
day night, and that hp had contrived to get the letter
he addressed to Mrs. Kent, and containing the 51., put
into the Dover Post-office.
The father of the girl stated that on the 27th of
July the prisoner took away his daughter from home
without his knowledge, and until Wednesday last she
was not seen by any of her family. The girl took
with her most of her clothes, and they were found at
the lodging in Duke-street, and conveyed to the sta-
tion-house. They were, the witness considered, his
property, and he requested the Lord Mayor would
remand the defendant, as more evidence could, in all
probability, be procured in a day or two.
Mr. Hanbury, a friend of the complainant, said the
defendant upon being asked at the station-house
whether the letter addressed to Mrs. Kent, and signed
" H.," was in his handwriting, said at once that it
was. (The letter was evidently laboured for the pur-
pose of escaping detection.) The defendant said he
had written it in a state of desperation. There mus
have been some subtlety in getting the letter posted a
Dover.

John Davis, 'City policeman, 554, stated that he
called at the house in Duke street, in which Mr. Ka-
vanagh and the lady resided, and he brought away
the articles of dress belonging to the lady.
The landlord of the house in Duke-street, in which
the defendant resided with the lady, stated that she
was introduced as the wife of the defendant. They
had the drawing-rooms.
The father of the girl said he had every reason to
suppose that the defendant was a man of large pro-
perty, and a member of some of the club•honses at
the west-end of the town.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Kavanagh, do you
wish to say anything upon this subject ? The de-
fendant shook his head. _ _

The LORD MAYOR—Your name is Kavanagh, I
suppose ? The defendant said nothing.
The LORD MAYOR--Are you a married or a single
man ? The defendant—A single man.
The father of the girl said it had been ascertained
that the defendant had lodged in the neighbourhood
of his house for the purpose of accomplishing his
object for three months. _

The LORD MAYOR—Defendant, you can use your
own discretion as to offering anything in explanation.
The defendant—Those articles which it is presumed
I have stolen were never out of the possession of tha
young lady. They belonged to her, and were con-
stantly in her possession. I must say that she was
never without money. She has had 201. at a time in
her pockets, and has never been without money up to
the time of the discovery by her father. I have been
very roughly treated. I have been confined all night
in the station-house, and dragged through the streets
like a felon.
The LORD MAYOR—You might have been bailed.
Inspector Todhtuiter—My Lord, Mr. Kavanagh
