CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)

A case of summons was heard this morning before
Mr. Greenwood, in which a point of some interest to the
collectors of parochial taxes was successfully raised for
the defence.

David Samuels appeared to answer a summons, issued
at the instance of Mr. Mills, the collector of paving and
lighting rates for St. Pancras parish, to show cause for
refusing payment of last half-year's paving rates.
After Mr. Mills established the amount of the claim,
which became due on the 29th of September last,
. _ . _

The defendant produced in CourChia schedule as an
insolvent debtor, dated on the day after, and said this
was his answer to the claim. He had no available assets,
as he was already deeply indebted to the Queen, on
account of certain duties returnable at the time of his
insolvency.

Mr. Mills complained that on the premises, on ac-
count of which the rates became due, there were a quan-
tity of articles, such as large boilers and other utensils
necessary for carrying on the insolvent's trade, which
had been removed without his knowledge, and they now
appeared in the insolvent's schedule, and he therefore
trusted that he would have a prior lien.
Mr. GREENWOOD said, with respect to this point, he
could afford the plaintiff no assistance. In cases of this
kind the matter was:generally so skilfully managed that but
little apparent property was left for any creditors, whether
the Queen, the parish authorities, or the traders. No
official assignee had been appointed, and he (Mr. Green-
wood) had no power.

WORSHIP SI REET.—(T HIS DAY.)
A mechanic, named John Turner, was charged by Mr.
Samuel Veasey, proprietor of the Elephant and Castle,
• Kingsland-road, as follows :

Mr. Veasey deposed that the prisoner, in campany of
several others, came into his house last evening for
something to drink, bnt perceiving that he had already
taken, more than was sufficient he refused to serve him.
The prisoner, in consequence, became exceedingly
violent, making use of the foulest language, and when
witness was about to turn him out of the house, the pri-
soner put himself in fighting attitude, and at length gave
witness so tremendous a blow as to knock him with
violence to the ground.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was wholly un-
conscious of having committed the alleged assault upon
Mr. Veasey. He certainly was the worse for liquor last
evening, and was very sorry for it.
Mr. BINGHAM spoke in high terms of commendation
of the conduct of Mr.Veasey, in refusing to serve a person
who had perceptibly had enough already. The prisoner
must find one surety in 201. fur his good behaviour for
three months.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
James Cox was placed at the bar, charged with break-
ing into the premises of J. Armstrong, Esq., at Peck-
ham, and stealing six carriage lamps and four cushions.
It appeared that, at an early hour that morning, the
prisoner was met in Kent-street, Southwark, carrying
the above articles, and not giving a satisfactory account
for the possession he was taken into custody.
Inspector Campbell, P division, stated that, within
the last week, the premises at the rear of Mr. Arm-
strong's dwelling at Peckham, were broken into and
robbed, although they. are inclosed by a wall eleven or
twelve feet in height. Information having been
given at the station-house, a policeman was
placed inside the premises on the previous
night, with a view to detect the parties if an-
other: attempt was made to plunder the place. Not-
withstanding the policeman's vigilance, the complainant's
coach-house was entered the very night, the thieves
having succeeded
of the robbery.suuccceededincarring off the coach lamps and
the h
the cushions of the vehicle. The inspector added, that
he
had no doubt the articles found on the prisoner were
the
The prisoner, who appeared perfectly careless, and
laughed while at the bar, was remanded, as he is sus-
pected to belong to a gang of housebreakers, who have
entered several houses in the outskirts of the town.

TRETOIL MINING COMPANY.—A meeting of share-
holders of this company was held yesterday at their
offices, George-yard, Lombard-street, Mr. Thomas in the
chair, at which a report was read, giving by no means a
favourable account of the condition of the company. It
appeared that there was a balance against the company,
in the accounts, of 2,1001., and that the creditors were
very pressing. There remained, however, about 1,200/.
of arrears of calls unpaid, which would reduce the net
balance against the company, if paid, to 900/., and a re-
solution was agreed to, empowering the directors to
enforce those arrears, after which the meeting separated.
IMPROVEMENTS IN ST. JAMES'S.—The devisees of
the late Francis Duke of Bridgewater have given notice
that it is their intention to apply, early in the ensuing
session of Parliament, for a Bill to authorise them to
take and appropriate a portion of Cleveland-square, near
the palace of St. James's, in length, from east to west,
about sixty-five feet, and in breadth about eighteen feet,
for building and other purposes, in exchange for certain
new streets and approaches made by them into the
square, viz., widening and improving Little St. James's-
street and the mews leading from thence, and further
improv-
ing additions proposed to be made for widening and
the square and approaches thereto,

but there are not at present many buyers. East India has
met with little attention, but prices keep up. Brandy is not
offered at any further reduction, but the home and export
demand has been limited for all kinds; the home deliveries
continue large. Geneva has been only in limited request,
and a farther decline in prices took place, the market being
better supplied. For British made Spirits the demand is still
as extensive as ever, and prices are firm.
