BISHOP PHILLPOTTS.—No man ever had
tome of the courtier in his compsition than Dr. PHlLL-
rorrs. He is a clerical CHESTERFIELD. And as to his
bows—their profundity, empressement, and frequency—
Sir CHARLES GRANDISON must have been his model, and
fitcHAansox alone coind do them justice ! Perhaps his
long arid c use intercourse with Bishop BAttaiNGTost,
hiniseh a finished gentleman, might have con'ributed
to throw that air of overpowering urbanity into his
look and language. Of middle stature, wi h a keen
quick eye,rearly comprehension of the views of others,
and a radid response to them, he is a thorough man
of business. Study, or care, or ambition has mach
and deeply furrowed his countenance; but the pliancy
of his person equals the pliancy of his politics! Yet
he is an able, keen, and persuasive miter. The rec-
tory house at Stanhope, with its conservatories, hot
wa:ls, and forcing-houses, was built by him. It is worthy
of the splendid benefice to which it is attached. In the
hall is a fine Rom ,n altar, in perfect preservation—the
only appendage of which many of his brethren envy him
!he possession. It was at Stanhope that this letter to
JEFFERY, the shortest and smartest of ull his pamphlet!,
was written ; the labour, it is affirmed, for lie writes ra•
pidly and withatit ,ffirt, of a very few days. Atatrt from
his political transgressions, he has received hard measures
from the public press..— wychcotte of St. John's.

MIDDLESEX INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS,

MARCH 15.

PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY.

When the Grand Jury entered the Court, in order to
be discharged. the foreman read the following important
presentment, addressed to the Chairman, &c. :
" Sir,—The Grand Jury have felt much satisfaction in
endeavouring to further the objects for which this inter-
mAiate session has been held. It has appeared to them to
have been called for alike by the calls of humanity, mo-
rality, and economy. Very few Bills have been ignored.
most of the charges having appeared to the Grand Jury
to be supported by ample ex parte evidence. They have
rejoiced when th..y have thought the evidence insufficient
to send the parties accused for trial, because they wished
to see those parties immediately restored, to society, and
freed from the contamination to which they must have been
inevitably exposed.
" The great vigilance of the police constables has justly
merited consideration, nor less so the satisfactory and very
pertinent manner in which they have tendered their
evidence.

" The Grand Jury have lamented the numerous in-
stances of juvenile depravity which the charges have de-
veloped, and feel bound respectfully to express their most
anxious desire that more suitable arrangements should be
made for a classification of prisoners according to their
known character, and not according to the denomination
of crime for which they have been committed, or of which
they have been convicted.
" This desire for classification has been strengthened
by the visit which the Grand Jury have made to the New
Prison, and also to the House of Correction, in which
they find that the latter, instead of the former rule, is,
under existing circumstances, unavoidably adopted.
" They suntnit, that both humanity and religion demand
that not even a convicted, but more particularly a merely
suspected criminal, should be exposed to df moralizing
influ-noes, if they can possibly be avoided, and that there-
tore the former especially should not be supported in in-
dolence, the almost certain caw,e of renewed crime. With
the present astounding number of prisoners, and the ca
parity of the House of Correction (large as it is), per-
haps little more could be effected in making the desired
classification than has been done already; but with the
'arge space yet within the boundaries of the prison, it
appears quite practicable that workshops might be erected,
in which all the healthy prisoners, if they do not under-
stand, might he taught some useful occupation, by which
they should be compelled to labour at least for their own
m intenance.

" This we submit to the consideration of the Court, by
having of served how much time and strength are unpro-
ly employed at the tread mills, while we (the grand
jut y) could not learn that any adequate moral reformation
has thereby been effected. In our most matured judg-
m•nt we think that the end sought to be accomplished by
all prison discipline ehould be the reformation of the
criminal, but we respectfully submit that the number of
teneeved charges preferred at these sessions proves that the
pre.ent mode of punishment does not effect this desirable
and legitimate end.

" The prisoners being thus employed, habits of industry
would be supelinduced ; their time being filly occupied
they would be prevented from demoralizing each other;
they would, moreover, cease to look to a prison as ao
asylum wherein they could bide themselves from the honest
industry by which they ought to live, and the country,
now very heavily bu'dened for their maintenance, would,
in all probability, be amply remunerated for its present
outlay by a rapid diminution of the amount of the
cowry rate..

" the Grand Jury have been induced to offer these
auggeqions for the consideration of the Court from the
cau..es hereinbefore stated.

" Of the cle.nliness of both the prisons, and the cau-
tion. for pr venting the intrAnction of infectious disorders,
the Grand Jury think they cannot speak in too high terms
of commen.latiun.

" In justification of the suggestions here held out as to
the equity and advantage of compelling prisoners to sup-
port themselves, the Grand Inquest beg to refer to the
instance of the gaol of Pre-ton, in Lancashire, from
which, in addition to a per centage allowed to the prisoner
on the produce of his labour, a return of surplus has been
mate to the county.

" In offering these suggestions, the Grand Jury beg to
state that they have been actuated solely by a desire to
promo►e the great object the Mat;istrates of the county ap
pear anxious to effect—namely, the prevention and dimi
notion of crime.

" The Grind Jury beg, its conclusion, to add, that it
appears to them that by tar too great a facility is affird,sl
in pledging articles stolen, thereby tending very materially
to the increase of crime, by the temptations thus held ou,
in disposing of what has been unfairly obtained ; and the
Grand Jury are of opinion that some alteration should be
made in the laws relative to this subject.
" GEORGE SMALLFIELD,
" Foreman to the Grand Jury of Middlesex.

" Friday, March 15, 1533."
The Chairman, B. RO fCH, Esq., 111. P., told the gen
tlemen that the Court appreciated their suggestions, and
their sentiments should be laid before the Magistrates of
the county when next assembled in a body.
The greater part of the day was occupied in trying
Mint cases,. and a great number of notorious utterers of
counterfeit coin were convicted, and sentenced to terms
of imprisonment, varying from six months to two years,
and part of the time of some of them was to be spent in
a solitary cell.

One of the prisoners, of the name of Blaney, was tried
at the January Old Bailey Sessions, before the Common
Sergeant, when the Court was led to believe, from the
defence of the prisoner, that he had been the dupe of
others. Hence be was acquitted. Upon his being then
discharged, he said, what a - the Judge was, not to
have seen through the flimsiness of his defence.
On the present occasion the prisoner and his compa-
nion, Jones, were sentenced to two years' imprisonment.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR COURT, MARCH 15.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—An Israelite, named John
Nackmunn, a native of Riga, was opposed by Mr. C.
JONES, on the part of Mr. Parker, a jeweller, and seve-
ral other creditors, under circumstances of an extraordinary
naoute. He was supported by Messrs. COOKE and
WOODROFFE.

The evidence adduced was extremely voluminous, but
the following were the principal facts :—The insolvent had
been in England about four years, and had been in partner-
ship with one Aaron Mirenhoff, as jewellers and merchants;
they Carried on business in Dean-street, Oxford-street,
and their general practice was to travel for orders. The
debts from which the insollient sought to be discharged
amounted to nearly 3,000/., of which 1,0301. was owing
to Mr. Jones, of Clerkenwell, and 3001. to Mr. Parker,
the opposing creditor. lii October last, Mirenhoff, being in
a bad state of health, was advised by some of his creditors
to go to Cheltenharn for the benefit of his. health. He
consented, and pretended that he could transact his bu-
siness there; he took with him jewellery goods to the
large amount of 2,000/., and cash to 3201., although
in a few days he was expected to return and take up
acceptances of the firm coming due. He, how-
ever, never returned, and in three days after his de-
campment it was discovered that he had taken his flight
to Rotterdam, leaving his creditors to do the best they
could for themselves. After the departure of Mirenhoff,
the insolvent refused to admit the servant to clean the room
in which their stock was generally kept, for she would
diately have missed the jewellery goods. I . further
appeared that Mirenh..ff, shortly before he left, obtaint-d some
brilliants of Mr. Packer, on the representation that they
were ordered by Madame Rothschild, hut that turned out
to be totally false. A letter had been received froml4liren •
huff, put ported to have been written in Hollan t, in which
he stated that be had been "rather gay," and had "gam-
bled his money away," but promised at some future period
to return and pay " all his creditors."
Mr. JONES, in an able speech, contended that the insol-
vent was a participator in the robbery committed by
Mirenboff on the creditors, and therefore prayed an exem-
plary remand for the gross making away with the pro-
perty.
In reply, Mr. COOKE contended that his client was an
" innocent victim," and entitled to his discharge.
Mr. Commissioner Law declared that he believed that
the insolvent had connived with his partner to defraud the
creditors, and was therefore Hanle to a serious judgment.
The Learned Commissioner, after expatiating at length
on the gross conduct of both, sentenced the insolvent to
fifteen mouths' imprisonment for participating in defraud.
ing his creditors out of their property.
