:IN RE GODFREY 11. WADSWORTH.

pended the certificate for twelve months, with pro-
tection.

IN RE JAMES HOLDBROOK.
The insolvent, a lieutenant in the royal navy, filed
his petition some time ago, and this was the day fixed
for his intermediate order.
The insolvent did not appear, and the petition was
dismissed.

IN RE - AIARGENSON.

The insolvent, a hat manufacturer in Bethnal-
green, came up under the Insolvent Act for his in-
terim order, supported by Mr. Nicholls, and opposed
by Mr. Lucas. The latter Learned Counsel having
shown that the debts were more than 3001., contended
that Margenson was a bankrupt, and could not obtain
relief under the Insolvent Act.
Petition dismissed.

SHERIFFS' COURT, Oct. 14.
CROWN EXTENT.-THE QUEEN V. BENHABM.
This was also a Pest-office proceeding. It came
before the court in the shape of a writ of extent,
directing the Sheriff of Middlesex to ascertain by a
jury of what goods, &c., the defendant was pos-
sessed within his jurisdiction, and, if any, the value of
the same.

It appeared that the defendant kept a district post-
office in Lamb's Conduit• street, and had failed to
discharge the claims of the General Post-office upon
him.

Mr. Hemp, the Sheriff's officer, stated that he had
seized upon all the furniture in the defendant's house,
and an auctioneer estimated its value at 1001.103.
Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to the General Post-
office, said this was insufficient to meet the demand.
Hemp then stated that the defendant's books had
been seized, from which it appeared that he had
considerable debts owing to him, He produced a
list of them.

The defendant was then sworn. He said the list
presented contained a number of debts which were
owing to him for goods sold and delivered.
In answer to questions put by Mr. Peacock,
The defendant stated that, besides, he had a re-
versionary interest in some leasehold and freehold
property at Hampstead, but there was plenty to pay
the Post-office, without interfering with that.
Mr. Peacock said the value of the goods and the
total of the debts would cover the demand.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF then directed the
jury to find that the defendant was possessed of
goods of the value of 1001. 105., and that he was
entitled to the debts specified in the list.—Verdict
accordingly.
POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
POLICE TRICES.--Mr. Stephens, a pawnbroker,
carrying on business in `'ardour-street, Soho, ap-
peared upon a summons to show cause why he refused
to deliver up a box of mathematical instruments that
had been pledged at his shop by William Meadows
for the sum of 21. 103., they having been stolen from
the chambers of Mr. Stone. The prisoner, on being
committed on several charges of felony from this
court, gave such information as enabled the police to
recover a great portion of valuable property belonging
to different surveyors and civil engineers.
It appeared from the evidence that Sergeant Mac-
kenzie, E division, having ascertained that the pro-
perty in question belonged to I\lr. Stone, induced the
complainant, without telling where his instruments
were, to offer a reward for their recovery in the
Pawnbrokers' Gazette of 51., and subsequently in-
formed him where they were to be found. The com-
plainant, suspecting he was about to be imposed upon,
refused to pay the amount, seeing that the thief was
in custody and fully committed for trial.
Mr. JARDINE did not consider that the defendant
was entitled to a reward, although nothing improper
could be imputed to him, the articles having been
pledged in a bon( fide manner, and proposed that the
complainant should pay the sum for which the pro-
perty had been pledged.
The parties then retired, and the sum of U. ss.
