RE WM. ROBINS.

The insolvent kept a public-house in Clare-market,
and was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of a number
of creditors.

After a lengthened examination, Mr. Commissioner
LAW said the facts of this case wore of so glaring a na-
ture that he felt bound to remand the insolvent for 18
months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Mary Jones, a woman of the town, who
has been in custody a great many times at this Court,
was brought before Mr. Trail!, charged on suspicion
with being concerned in the death of a man whose body
was found in the river a few days ago.
Anderson, the beadle of Lambeth, stated that on
Thursday last the body of a man was picked up in the
Thames near the Cornwall-road, which was afterwards
recognised to be that of a man named Compton, who
was a discharged soldier. The body, from its decom-
posed state, must have been for some considerable time
in the water, but notwithstanding this circumstance it
was satisfactorily proved to be that of the man alluded
to, whose daughter described that her father had re-
ceived between 51. and 61. on Friday, the 15th ult., the
day from which he was missing, and that when he was
found drowned there was not a halfpenny in any
of his pockets. It was strongly suspected that he had
met with foul play on the night of the day he re-
ceived the above sum of money, as he was seen at a
late hour in the company of two persons of very
bad character, and he was evidently under the influence
of liquor at the time. The woman Jones was the last
person seen in the company of the deceased, and that
was at ten minutes after 12 o'clock on the night of the

15th ult. The place where they were observ©d together
was near the water side at Rotherhithe, and a man not
since to be found was with them.

Mr. TRAILL inquired how it was ascertained Jones
was with the deceased on the night he was suspected to
have been drowned ? _ _

Anderson in reply, said that the deceased went to the
Wheatshealpublic-house, adjacent to Seven Steps-alley,
where he had previously lodged, and asked the landlord
for some liquor. The landlord, however, perceiving that
he had already had enough, refused to serve him, upon
which the deceased sent the prisoner into the house for
half a pint of gin, and gave her the money to purchase
it ; that it was then after 12 o'clock at night, and when
she left the house the deceased, the prisoner, and a man
were seen to go away together. This was the last time
the unfortunate man was seen.

The prisoner said that she could not help the deceased
being drowned ; that she was in his company on the
night in question, when he was intoxicated, and that
when he left her she did not know what became of him,
and was not aware that he was drowned the same night
until she was informed by the beadle.
Mr. TRAILL said, that at the present stage of the in-
quiry he did not wish to call on the prisoner to say any-
thing that was likely to criminate herself ; that as yet
there was no evidence to implicate her in the death of
the man, for, in fact, it had not been ascertained whe-
ther or not any violence had been exercised towards him.
The fact, however, of no money being found in his
pockets, when it was known that he had received a con-
siderable sum on that day, certainly threw a degree of
suspicion on the parties last seen in his company, parti-
cularly when it was known that they were persons of bad
character.
The prisoner, who cried very much during the time
she was at the bar, was then remanded.

Sugden and John Fox, both in the employ of the Low
FIENDISH CONDUCT.—On Saturday last, W.
Moor Company, met an awful death at the pit near the
Chapel House Inn' Low Moor. They were descending
into the shaft early in the morning, one of them being
employed to tend a pony which hurries the curves in
the pit, when the rope broke and they were both precipi-
tated to the bottom —a distance of about sixty or seventy
yards. They were, of course, both killed ; but the most
lamentable part of the circumstance is that there can be
no doubt that they have been deliberately sacrificed, as it
was immediately ascertained that the rope had been cut
nearly through, and the part cut covered, so as to pre-
vent its being discovered. Many reports are in circula-
tion which, for the ends of justice, we withhold. Sugden
has left a wife and nine children, and Fox had been only
a few weeks married.—Bolton Free Press.
