(Before Mr. Commissioner Farm)
IN RE WALLIS.

The bankrupt, Thomas ►Vaili?, of Oxford-street,
woollen-draper, came up on a dividend meetin;x, Tic

dered by a creditor named 'Wilson, a silk merchant.
The consideration of the claim wai adjourned.
The debts and liabilities in the case are about
13.0001., but of these ►nany are secured.

IN RE CARROI.L.-TIIE SATIRIST NEWSPAPER.
The bankrupt, Alexander Carroll, jun., of the
Strand, newspaper proprietor, came up on the choice
of assignees and the proof of debts.
The fiat was taken out at the instance of the bank-
rupt.
Mr. Sturgeon appeared for a creditor for 3001.,
named Hensell. Mr. Duncan appeared for the hank-

rupt. ..• .. •
Hensell proved in a bill of exchange drawn and
endorsed by the bankrupt. The amount wai 300/.
Admitted.

The next claim was by Mr. George Selson, a wine
and spirit merchant. He sought to prove upon a bill
of exchange given for goods furnished. The bill was
drawn by Mr. Barnard Gregory, formerly proprietor
of the Satirist. The proof was admitted.
Mr. Mears sought to prove on a bill of exchange
for 1001., drawn by Gregory, and accepted by the
bankrupt.
COMMISSIONERW hat was the consideration? Mr.
-Meares said he furnished hay and straw for Mr.
Gregory.
The COMMISSIONER asked where Mr. Gregory
lived. _ _

Mr. Mears replied, in North Audley-street, and
added that he had furnished Mr. Gregory with the
above-mentioned commodities for ten years.—Ad-
mitted. _ _ _

Some other proofs were then tendered, after which,
Mr. Barnard Gregory, who was described as of
Frownall Priory, Hampstead, and Mr. Selson, wine
merchant, were proposed as assignees.
.alr. DUNCAN opposed the appointment of Mr.
Gregory as assignee, saying he was a creditor.
Mr. STURGEON supported the choice.
His HONOUR confirmed it, and the above•men-
tioned indiiithials were accordingly appointed.

bankrupt might be cotnpelle4 to deliver up the loys
of the Satirist-office and premises to the assignees.

passed through the liisoluent Cu,t,trt., His debts then
were about 18,0001. ; and 9.0001., or thereabouts,
were raised from the sale of Irish estates to meet
these debts.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. George Holmes, a gunmiiker in Phoenix-street,
Spitalfields,• and Charles Hardy and George Teakle,
two of his workmen. were charged with the follow-
ing outrageous attack upon Mr. Edward Evershed, a
tallow-chandler in Tabernacle-row, Finsbury, Thomas
Evershed, his ,on, and George Larduer, a broker's
assistant,
,each of whom had sustained serious iu-

juries.
It appeared from the evidence of the elder Mr.
Evershed, that at five o'clock on Saturday afternoon
last he proceeded -to the house occupied by the pri-
soner I lolmes, to levy a distress for rent due to an
insolvent's estate, of which he had been appointed
assignee. Ile was accompanied by his son, a broker
named West, and the assistant 01 the latter, Lardner,
and upon entering a workshop, in which they found
the three defendants, to whom they mentioned the
object of their visit and exhibited the warrant, the
defendant Holmes immediately called upon his work-
' men to arm themselves and set upon them, exclaiming
to Hardy " This is the -, and, now we have got
him, you rip him up while I koock him down ; up in
which Holmes seized hold of a gun-barrel, and, raising
it with both hands, dealt him such a terrible blow
upon the shoulder that he was instantly felled to the
ground, and before he could recover his feet he was
set-upon by the defendant,Hardy, whp attacked him
with a gouge or chisel and stabbed at him several
times in. such rapid succession that he had great
difficulty in defending himself; and while warding
off one of the stabs he received such a serious cut in
the palm of one of his hands that it was cut to
the .bone.-- On at last getting up from the
ground'," he attempted to make his way out
'of the place, but was immediately attacked
by the other defendants, both of whom were armed
with musket-barrels, and who continued heating him
round the room with them until he was rendered
powerless and his person completely covered with
hurts and contusions. With the assistance of the
broker and his assistant, however, they at length suc-
ceeded in escaping into the street, whence he and his
son were taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where
a surgeon dressed their wounds, but they had both
ever since been in a state of acute suffering from the
effects of the injuries they had received.
Thomas Evershed, the second complaiaant, de-
scribed the attack upon his father in nearly the same
terms, and stated, that after running to his rescue,
while Mr. Evershed, sen., was lying upon the
ground, and being stabbed at by Hardy with the
gouge, he was instantly stopped by a terrific blow
upon the forehead by a musket barrel held by the
third defendant, which cut a deep wound in his skull
and knocked him down, and that upon rising he was
as quickly felled a second time by a blow on the side
of the head from Hardy Stith another gun-barrel;
after which he was beaten about the hips and body
with a muske by Teakle, and filially set upon by the
whole of the defendants, who continued so beating
him until the door of the room, which had been shut
the whole time, was at length opened by some one
outside, and they succeeded in effecting their escape.
The witness exhibited his forehead to the magistrate,
which was covered with bandages, and displayed,
when he applied for the warrant, a large cut gaping
open like a moutk and said that he considered it little
I short of a miracle-that he-e`scaped with his life, and
' that he was certain he should lose it while the en-
counter continued.

George Lardner, the broker's assistant, fully cor-
robOrated the testimony of the preceding witnesses,
and stated, that while the defendants Were illtreating
the other complainants, a bull-terrier was set upon
the witness, which fixed its teeth into his thigh and
severely lacerated it, and that all the defendants sub-
sequently attacked him also, and beat him so wittier
cifully that he. was likewise compelled to place him-
self under the care of the hospital surgeon.
A certificate was handed to the bench from. Mr.
Rendle, the hospital house surgeon, N hich described
the wounds and other injuries the complainants had
sustained as being of a serious character.
A gentleman from the office of Mr. Ashley, the
solicitor, proceeded to addre,s the magistrate for the
defence, with a view to show that Mr. Evershed, sen.
tuvi no legal title to make the levy upon the premises,
and that his clients were therefore justified in treating
him as a trespasser; when
Mr. liAmstmt. intimated, that the solicitor ha
better reserve the defence for another occasion, as he
considered the csse was of far too serious a nature to

he summarily disposed of, and he should therefore
send it for adjudication at the sessions, and order the
defendants each to enter into his own recognizances
in 100/., and procure two re,ponsible sureties in 501.
each, to answer the charge there.
CLERKEN WELL..

Alfred Mardyn, aged 18, arid William Bates, aged
19, were charge-d with having been concerned in
stealing 401. and upwards, the property of Messrs.
M'Alpine, clothiers. and drapers, of Gawtree-gate,
Leicestershire. The prisone-t Mardyn was in the
employ of Messrs. M'Alpine. On Sunday, the Bth
of August, whilst the family were at church, the
house was plundered, and the prisoner absconded.
Information was given to the police, and the prisoners
were traced to have been seen together and spending
money extravagantly. On Sunday last two young
men, named Johnliniiitnd""Stevenson, who had heard
of the robbery, came to London, and whilst in St.
James's- park they saw the prisoners., very well

Duke of York's column, when they Here given into
cwtody, and on tieing questioned, Marilyn said he
had only 4s. of the property left, and he did not dens
the robbery. A hag was found on Marilyn.
which he said belonged to Mr. M'Alpine, and
which had contained the money stolen from the
house. When at the station-house Mardyn made
a voluntary confession, which was written down,
and was substantially as follows lie became
acquainted with Bates, who asked him if he had
got any money. lie said he had not, when he told
him he might easily get some, and inquired whether
he knew where his master kept his keys, as he could
.open the drawers and get some. lie (Mardyn) said
it would he dangerous; t i which Bates replied, " Not
at all ; we can _drive a great distance off, and keep
clear." While the family were at church, he (Mar-
dyn) got over the wall, and entering the house he
went to Mr. M'Alpine's coat, which was hangigg up
in the hall, and, taking out the keys, he opened the
safe and drawers, which he plundered. pie went to
Bates with the property, when they hired a horse and
trig and drove off immediately to Market Her-
borough, and they took the mail train to London,
where they had been enjoying themselves with the
stolen property. They had visited Gravesend,
Woolwich, Greenwich, and every place of amuse-
ment until Sunday, when they accidentally met Ste-
venson and Johnson, who gave them into custody.
They had changed several note, at Gravesend and
Greenwich. Mardyn roam that Bates urged hint to
go back and steal what wearing apparel he could find
in the house. lie had known Bates two months. He
gave him all the sovereigns, and he paid for the horse
and gig to Mr. Barnes, livery-stable keeper, of Sil-
ver-street, Leicester.
Charles Culls, 230 S, proved apprehending the
prisoners, and *Sergeant siPisti. King, 7 S, took down
Mardyn's confession. Marilyn was now cautioned
that he was not bound to say anything; but he ad
hered to his confession. Bates received a similar

caution. He said he only wanted to speak the truth.
He denied part of Mardyn's statement as affected
him ; hut what he did say was confirmatory of the

charge made against him.
Mr. COWIE remanded both prisoners until the po-
lice could communicate with Messrs. MeAlpinv, who
were not yet awareofthe_capture of thy prisoners.
