THE BISHOPRIC OP SODOR AND MAN.-It was on
Thursday rumoured in clerical circles that the Hon. and
Rev. H. Montague Villiers, M.A., rector of George's,
Bloomsbury, will succeed Dr. Short in the bishopric of
Sodor and Man and that the rectory of Bloom,bury
wit be conferred on the Rev. James Harris, M.A., in-
cumbent of All Saints Church, Stepney, and lecturer of
St. Anne's, Umehouse. _

13EGGING LETT ERS —INIPOSTORS.—A gentleman of
this county received lately two begging letters from Ire-
land, writ ten in the most plausible and persuasive style.
and accompanied by forged certificates. One of them
rurported to be from a soldier's wife, Ellen Grant, a
native of &ily, who was wrecked while proceeding to
join her husband, a colour-sergeant in the 77th Regi-
ment. Iler other relations, she s ,id, had all emigrated
to America some years since, and the people of Ireland
would do nothing for a Scotch person. Hence she was in
great distress, " trusting to his Heiiiour's kind and bene-
volent answer by return of post." The second letter of
this kind aroused the suspicions of the party to whom
they were addressed, and he forwarded both to the
Police-office at Dublin. In reply, the Commissioners of
the Dublin :Sietropolitan Police stated that the papers
had emanated from impostors sojourning in Dublin, and
cir.adating fictitious applications for alms. The Com-
missioners sent copes of various other forged certificates
of a similar description, accompanying them with the
fillowing notice, which we copy, to put our readers on
their guard, in case of other attempts at deception:—
, " The Commissioners of the Dublin Metroplitru Police
have received from variousfparts of the United Kingdom,
counterfeited certificates, purporting to be from magis-
trates at Galway, Sligo, and other ports, with fictitious
subscription lists appended, and sometimes municipal
Fals (found to be impressions from casts of corporation
livery buttons), in which papers, women, represented to
be,witlows of sergeants or other non-commissioned officers
of her Majesty's fore s, are recommended for alms,
usually under pretence of destitution from shipwreck;
and various fabricators of such papers, apprehended by
the police, .having escaped punishment for the %%Ent of
legal proof of the actual receipt of money by means of
the fade pretences used (the only offence cognisable in
the present state of the law) it has been considered ad •
visable to give this public notice of the fa ids so prac-
tised, with a view to prevent further imposition, and in-
duce the transmi.;sion of charitable donations through
responsible persons, when given in compliance with the
written solicitations of unknown applicants.—lneerness

SHERIDAN KNOWLES.—May we venture to ex-
prFss the hope that Mr. Knowles may yet, and at no

since it is to conic: such marks of a nation's gratitude
upon individuals whose ti re, talent, sisil strength of soul
and body are, or have been, devoted to the enriching of
our stores of literature, neglect or refuse to listen to his
claims—ignfrat.ce of them they cannot plead—then the

Mr. Knowles has, from former !association, a peculiar
claim on the opulent merchants of Glasgow.—lteefrew•

LAW IN TELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)

IMPORTANT APPLICATION.-IN THE MATTER OF THE

READING, TRING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY COM-

PANY.
—To-day was appointed for the examination of the Hon.
Grantley Berkeley, M.P., the chairman, and Messrs.
Hill and Everill, solicitors to the above Company, against
whom a fiat of bankruptcy has been issued. At the time
appointed none of those parties were present.
Mr. Lawn.ENcE then applied for a warrant for their
apprehension.
His Hosoux said, it was quite a new point under the
Act 7 and 8 Victoria, cep. 118, -which made railway
companies liable ba made tabiszupts, and to be repre-
ser:tfd by certaiu
Mr. LAwr.-F.scE argued, al:a a due notice had been
given in the Gazette, Mr. Berkeley and the others were
subject to the same processes as would issue against any
other individuals not attending as r‘ quired by law.
His HoNourt said he should prefer advising with his
brother Commissioner (Fonblanque) before deciding on
the case. On his Honour's return he said he would
grant the application.
A long discussion then ensued as to the form of th©
warrant.

Mr. LAWRENCE considered that it must be the usual
form, on which the parties might be taken forthwith,
and of course they were liable to be kept in custody
until the time of the examination; but if the messenger
was given to understand that he need not enforce it
till the day the examination took place, his Honour
could then discharge them from custody. If Monday
was fixed, and they were taken into cuAody to-morrow,
the liberty of the subject would be materially interfered
with. Ile thought if it was possible to execute the war-
rant to-day so much the better, but it the Court was not
sitting they could not be examined till to•morrow.
The three warrants were issued, but Mr. Hill came
into Court with some of the 'books, and underwent an
examination, but as the parties were not in attendance,
the case was adjourned, on the understan ling that the
other warrants would be eaftrced.

Mr. Hill's excuse for delay was that he had been
seeking for counsel who was absent from town.

SECONDARIES' COURT, October 23.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
DIAULE V. STAINER.

The plaintiff in this action is a journeyman carpenter,
ard the defendant is a carpenti r and join. r, in the Mile-
end-road. The claim was for 4!. 125., the balance of
wages.
The defendant pleaded payment.
On the part of the plaintiff it was shown tkat he had
been employed for the defendant for twenty-six days,
for which he charged at the usual rate of ss. per day.
On being discharged for want of work, 7s. were tendered
to him as the balance due, but which he refusel to
accept.
Fur the defendant it was contended that it was highly
improbable that a journeyman would allow his account
to stand open as alleged, and, moreover, that he had
summoned the defendant to the Tower Hamlets Court
of Requests for a sum of 11. Is. Bd., and that the summons
had been dismissed.
It was objected that such evidence could not be given,
as there had not been any plea to that effect.
The Learned SECONDARY said that he could only hear
evidence of what was said by the plaintiff, but not the
result from the books. The jury might draw their con-
clusions from what the plaintiff said.
The clerk of the court was not called, but two wit-
nesses spoke to divers payments on account.
The defendant's attorney said he could not put in de-
fendant's books.
The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict for
the plaintiff for 31. 19s.
There a as only one other cause set down for hearing,
but which was settled when called on.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX
MAGISTitATES.
THE USE OF THE TREADWHEEL.

A very numerous meeting of the magistrates for Mid
cre3ex was held on Thursday, at the Clerkenwell Sessions
tleese, for the transaction of "county" business. Mr.
11. Pownall in the chair.
The greater part of the day was occupied in the die
cession and considt ration of a motion which had beer.
pine: d on the paper by Mr. Walesby, for the abolition of
the use of the treadwheel in the case of femilos. In
c msequence of this notice of motion it appeared that the
visit ng justices of the [louse of Correction, in their cus
tomary report, which was now read, had obtained the
opinions of the several officers of the Coldbeth fields
hie n, as to the advantages or injury which the appli-
cation of the wheel to female prisoners had produced.
These opinions were all read, and they concurred in
stating that the experience of the governor, the chaplain,
and the matron had led them to the conclusion that nothing
detrimental either to the health or morals of female pri-
soners arises from their etnple3 merit on the treadwheel;
on the contrary, that, as regulated in the prison, it
is a salutary exercise, and varies the monotony of
their confinement; that female prisoners have repeatedly
importuned the authorities to allow them to be placed
upon the wheel, and shed tears of disappointment when
refused. They admitted, indeed, that it might not be
undesirable to confine this species of punishment to the
more hardened criminals, and to exempt from it those
females wh' are committed for the first time and for
comparatively trifling offences. In this opinion as to the
absence of any injurious eff, ct the surgeon entirely con-
curred, as far as regarded the health of the women; and
the matron, in corroboration of this testimony, stated the
remarkable fact that with 266 prisoners in the house,
there is not one in the infirmary.
The report was, as usual, received, and ordered to be
printed and circulated.
Mr. WILLS, the chairmen of the visiting justices, asked
the lion. and Learned Magistrate, whether, after the
opinions which bad been given by the governor and the
other officers of the prison, he did nut think it advisable
to withhold his moion ?
Mr. WALESBY declined to act upon this suggestion,
and after some other business had been gone through,
prow eded to move " That the tread wheel be disused in
case of female prisoners at Coldbath-fields House of
Correction." lie con-idered it the better course to piece
the matter before the euldie at once, rather than it
should be allowed any longer to remain in abeyance.
The treadwheel had been abolished in every other prison
than that of the greatest metropolis in the world.—
(Hear.) IV by then should it be allowed to remain ?
He should move its abolition in the terms of his notice
of motion.
Mr. ROT= seconded the motion, and suggested that
the prison should be sold to a railway company as a
City terminus.
Mr. Wilks opposed the motion, as did Messrs. Fresh-
field, Tulk, and S. Wilson.
Sir P. LAURIE said the question could not be allowed
to remain as it was after the statement of the officers.
_ _

Mr. Simpson, Mr. Sergeant Stocks, Mr. flalswell, and
Mr. Arms:roug spoke in favour of the motion, which
was eventually lost by a majority of 25 to 15.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
GUILDHALL.

A poor man, nam' d Richard Sherlock, applied to Sir
Peter Laurie for advice under the following cireum
staeces:—He said he had resided in the parish of St.
Mary Staining for nearly seven years; it would be seven
yt ars about the middle of next January. That about a
year and nine months ago he and his wife, who is much
afflicted with fits, were removed to the parish of St.
Botolph, Aldersga'e, to which he belonged by payment
of rent and taxes f; r some years. From that period
until recently he had received 2s. and a loaf weekly;
but about a fortnight ago he was told by Mr. Roberts,
the relieving-officer of the East London Union, that it
would be the last time he should have to pay him, as
he had lived five years in the parish of St. Mary Stain-
ing, end he must now lay claim to that parish. Since
then he had seen Mr: Llewellyn, the vestry-clerk of St.
Mary Staining, and that gentleman had written to Mr.
Roberts, and he had been to and frbm one to the other,
but without effect, and he was now recommended by
Mr. Llewellyn to apply to the magistrate for his advice.
Sir P. LAURIE said it seemed to him a great hardship
that a man should be driven from pillar to post in that
manner, and that there must be something vary defective
in the poor-law to admit of such a course.
Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, said this was only one of
an immense number of such cases that had arisen upon
the construction of the late Poor Removal Alt. It was
provided by the Act that a person who had been resident
in any parish for five years should be irremovable to his
place of settle nent, and that no order should be grarted
for the removal of any pauper from a parish in which he
had resided for five years "next before the application"
for the order. Many of the large me ropolitan parishes
have, in consequence of this Act, discontinued the greater
part of their out-door relief, and have thus thrown the
onus of relief upon the parish in which the pauper had
been resid' nt for fire ytars, or removing them again
where they have not been so resident; for the time during
which a pauper received relief from any parish was to be
excluded from the computation.
Sir P. LAURIE said he thought it would be well to call
the atten'ion of the Poor-law Commissioners to the sub-
ject, and get them to set the matter at rest.
Mr. Teague said he feared that a great deal of the
present hardship had been cc •asioned by Vac conitrue-
tion which the Commissioners had put upon the Act,
and might be mainly attributed to a circular letter which
had been recently addressed to the boards of guardians
by Mr. Lumley, the assistant-secretary, wherein it was
said that the ground which had existed for non-resident
relief would now be removed. It was quite evident that
the intention of the Commissioners was to drive the poor
into the workhouses, and do away as much as possible
with all out-door relief. Mr. Teague furher stated that
a case precisely similar to the present had been recently
laid before an eminent barrister, and he had felt that
there was a difficulty in the construction of the Act, as
any period of relief was to be excluded from the compu-
tation ,of the five years, and yet that period would in.
!or, ene between the residence and the application for a
new order; and therefore it might be urged that fi,e
years' re-idence would not be " next b •fore the applica-
tion," as the Act required. Ir. that case the cotmel
advised that the opinion of the Court or Q teen's 11-nch
should be taken as son as possible; and in the case now
before Sir P. Laurie he could see no better course than
fur the parish of St. Mary Staking to apply fer a new
order, and leave the other parish, if they thought fit, to
raise Vie question on appeal.
Sir P. LAURIE said he was quite of opinion that out-
door relief, instead of being diminished, ought to he
greatly extended. The driving the poor into the work-
houses had the effect of depriving them of their energy
and independence of character, and tended to reduce
them to a state of continual pauperism. Next to a man
out of a gaol a master was usually most averse to a man
out of a workhouse, while he thought the worse of no
man who was obliged to receive a little out door relief.
The out-door relief should be extended fur the sake of

tion of the poor. It might be sometimes abased, but
that wag not a reason for its abolition. It wlls the duty
of the Poor-law Commissioners to see that none were
placed in danger of starvation, and the poor could not
wait till the law was amended

He gave Sherlock ss. from the poor-box, and advised
him to apply to the parish in which he resided, to be
relieved or passed.
RAILWAY SLTARES.—A young man Dam. d Stokes, a
solicitor's clerk, applied for advice under the fk.llowing
circum.dances:—His fa bar died immediately after the
railway panic, and he was found to have in his posses-
sion 600 shares in the Kentish Coast Railway, upon
which 11. 7s. 6d. had been paid, and which he had bought
at five-eighths premium, so that he had invested 1,2001.
The company did not apply for a Bill, and the directors
had advertise(: to :et:lm II per Oiare on genuine ser:p;
bet they repudiated coic;plalnant's snio as spuiious, ha-
eause it was not signed by any of the directors. It was
signed by the secretary, Mr. Richards.
Sir P. LAURIE asked if that was the same person who
figured as a witness in a forgery case of shares? The
applicant said it was. He was now in France. He
produced a prospectus.
Sir P. LAURIE said there were several respectable
names amongst the provisional committee, and he held
that a promoter was liable to the shareholders for re-
payment where the scheme altogether fail, d.
The applicant said he did not know who to sue, as
the name of the secretary only appeared on his scrip.
Sir P. LAURIE said it was not difficult to make tnese
companies account as bankrupts, and he recommended
the applicant to seek the advice of Mr. Spackumn, of
Moorgate-street, who appeared to be well versed in
winding up companies, as appeared by the newspapers.
The applicant begged to mention another case. He
was at the time a stockbroker's clerk, and another broker
persuaded him to buy 100 Lynn slier. s. He paid him
501. down, 232 L more on the settling day, having lost by
the transaction. It subsequently transpired that his
friend had bought only 56, instead of 100 shares, and had
paid one-half per cent. less than he said, cheating him of
the difference. _ _

As it was a partnership concern Sir P. LAURIE thought
he could not inter'ere

A men about fifty 'years of age, and of resrectable
appearance, named Carew, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Alderman Musgrove, charged with embezzling
certain sums of money belonging to his employer, Mr.
Re.wli.ison, wholesale tea-dealer, No. 16, Skinner-street,
Snow-lull. Tug prisoner was engaged by the prosecutor,
upon strong recommendation, about eighteen months
ago, to collect orders and to receive payments. The
complainant alleged that he had recently discovered that
the priioncr had received several sums of money fur
which he had not accounted, but as he was not at present
prepared with evidence, he begged the Alderman to ad-
journ the case, to give him tiine for further inquiries.
Mr. Alderman MusoaovE said he could not detain
the man in custody, unless evidence were adduced to
justify him in doing so.
To this Mr. Rawlinson replied that he had received a
letter from a Mr. Robinson, a customer, informing him
that he had some months ago paid a balance to Mr.
Carew which he (the prosecutor) had not received, and
the prisoner since admitted that he had received the
money. Mr. Rawlinson added that if the Alderman
would postpone the case to Wednesday next, he would
be able to establish other cases.

The prisoner, being asked by the magistrate whether
he had anything to say in reply to the charge, said in a
low tone, that he had nothil.g to say.
He was !hen remanded t,-) Wednesday.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

George Lovejoy and James Crane, two chimney-sweeps,
were placed at the bar, charg€d with getting into Sir
Robert Campbell's house, early yesterday morning, fur
"elonious purposes.
Thomas Grey, butler to Sir, Robert Campbell, Bart ,
5, Argyll-plAce, said he was aroused that morning about
half-past hve o'clock by the housekeeper, who called eta
thero were thieves in the house. He went up and found
the two men in the front hall. They had got in by the
kitchen under a false pretence of coming from Jerome's,
the chimney-sweeper.
It:chard Jerome, Cross-court, Carnahy-street, said the
men Lever were in his employment, and had no orders
to go to Sir Robert Campbell's.
Lovejoy, on being asked what he had to say for him-
;elf, said he went last Light and rung the kitchen bell,
and asked the kitchen maid who came to the door
whether she wanted her chin:treys done. The maid asked
if he came f rom Jerome's and he slid no.
Susan Sag4ers, the servant maid, said she asked
Lovejoy on Thursday night where he came from, and he
said from Jero:Le's, and she had, by order of the house-
keeper, appointed him to come this morning at five
o'clock. She was sent afterwards to Jerome's to counter-
mand the order, and found there that Jerome had not
sent any of his men to the house. Jerome further told
her that a parcel of vagabonds were in the habit of i n-
posing on people, and without doubt the men who had
called were of that character. In consequence of this,
two policemen were engaged to be in attendance
at the house by the appointed hour in the morning, n ho,
when she had let the sweeps in, took them into custody.
Crane said it was mot usual for him to adopt this prac-
tice, and in the present instance the other man had
roused him at four o'clock, to help him with a job.
Mr. lhanwicK said he would remand them tiil Mon-
day, that inquiry might he made.
CL E UK EN IVE LI.

A man named Andrew Ryan, who keeps a marine-
store dealer's shop in Peter-street, was charged with a
most brutal and violent assault upon his wife, Catherine
Ryan, by which her life was at one time in considerable
.131-gf r.
it appeared tl at the parties had been in the habit of
continually quarreling, and upon the last oression he
happened to be rather excited from the af cis of (Link-
ing, when he knocked her down, and whilst on the
ground Licked her and beat her with a heavy stick so
violently as to render her insensible for several hours.
Mr. C. .3113 E, after hearing very lengthened evidence
pro and con., committed the prisoner for trial, but, upon
the application of his solicitor, consented to take two
suref es for his appearance at the sessions.
,Af er bail had bcea received the prisoner again re-
turned to the Court in a state of great apparent excite-
ment. and appl!ed for a warrant against his wife. He
stattd that,immediattl.v after his liberation upon bail, he
returned home, when his wife followed him up stairs,
and, without his swing a word to her, rushed at him
..jai a large carving knife, with which she made a
thrust at him which, only for having been fortunately
parried by his, son, who was standing near, must have
struck him with great force on the side of the neck.
After some difficulty the knife was wrenched from her,
but she again recovered it, and made a second attack
upon him ; and such was the violence of her conduct and
her threats to take his life, that he was compelled to
make his escape over the wall of the back yard.
M. CONBE ordered Bingham, the warrant officer of
the Court to go to the house in Peter-greet, and dr sire
the wife's attendance in Court; but upon the officer's re-
turn he said that although he had made a strict search
he could not find her. He was informed by some of the
neighbows that the opinion generally entertained was
that the husband made the application in order that his
wife might be in prison, and thereore be un4l3:e to
appear against him at the sessions, which commences on
Tuesday next.
Mr. COMBE declined issuing a warrant, but desired
Bingham to endeavour to have tha wird in attendance
:o-morrow (this day).
THAMES.

Since then a more careful investigation had been made,
and Mr. Boutiliier now estimated his losses at upwards
of 4001. The prisoner had received from him 941.105.2 d.
only while he had been in his service. On the mantel-
shelf in the prisoner's h,d-room several invoices for gas
fittings, brass ornaments. and five looking-glasses were
found. They were made out in the name of J. Stoddarf,
and the goods, to which they referred, were found at the
Green Dragon, where they had been depsitecl by thi,
prisoner, who intended :0 forward them to Sunderland
by his father's vessel. The invoices amounted to 101.
Inspector Valentine also removed from the same public-
house three boxes of linendrapery goads worth
501., which the prisoner had left there to be for-
warded by the lago to the same destination. The articles
had been selected from Mr. Bontillier's stock, and the
Clolesa:e marks were up an them. Bzsiies the property
seized, the officers ascert:ined that the prisoner had
made other consignments of linendrapery to Sunderland,
where he intended to commence busineFs as soon as he
had accumulated sufficient plunder for that purpose, and
there is no doub , if he had not been stopped in his ex-
tensive career of robbery, he would have soon ruined
his master. A few days before the prisoner was taken
into custody he requested 'his employer's errand boy to
look out some gas fitting=, and said he wanted them
for a frit nd. The boy jestingly said " No, they are for
yourself," and the prisoner admitted that he wai goir:g
to op: it a concern in Sunderland about Novemtv.r. He
then directed the boy to order various goods, fur which
the prisoner paid ready money.
Mr. Fearnley made application for a portion of the
money tuk.m from the prisoner to be delivered up to him,
and that his wearing apparel should also be restored.
Mr. Pelham should be sorry to oppose any application
of this nature, or deprive a man, chary,. d with felony.
of the opportunity of making his defence ; but really
the prisoner's depredations had been practised on each a
large scale, and might yet lead to the prosecutor's name
appearing in the London Gazette, that he felt bound to
resist the application. There were other Josses not yet
ascertained, and property at Sunderland which Mr.
Boutillier was unable to recover.

Mr. Fearnley only asked for the wages due to his
client ; surely that application would not be resisted.
Mr. BRODERIP said he could not order the wages to
be paid, and the prosecutor declared he would give up
nothing.
Mr. Fearnley made some observations on the hardship
of the case, and the severity with wh!ch the prisoner was
treated. The young man was without a single shilling
in the world.

Mr. BRODERIP rewinded the prisoner's solicitor of the
serious loss sustained by Mr. Boutillier. He did not at
all wonder that a man who had been nearly ruined by
the prisoner should not be disposrd to treat him with
much favour. He was surprised that the prisoner, who
had done all he could to ruin his roastcr, should expect
the least favour at his hands.

The prisontr, who made no.defence was then fully
committed to Newgate for trial.

On the intercession of Mr. Diamond and Mr. Pelham,
the prosecutor consented to give up Stoddart's clo.lies,
on which Mr. Broderip said mere could not be exp_cted
from Lim.
