LAW INTELLIGENCE,
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 25.

Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice DEN-
MAN and a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. GOOCH AND ANOTHER.
_

This vi as an indictment on the part of the Crown
igainst the defendant for defrauding the revenue. The
lefendant had caused certain quantities of wool to be
temoved from the Customhouse at a lower rate of duty
.han was duly chargeable thereon. The case had been
removed' by certiorari from the Central Criminal Court
to the Queen's Bench.
The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr.
Watson, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bodkin appeared for
the Crown ; Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Sergeant
Shee for the defendants.

As the case for the defence had not been gone into
when the Court rose, we reserve the proceedings until
to-morrow.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb. 25.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
W. Silcock, jun., victualler, of Crawley-street, St.
Pancras, applied for his certificate. Ile was opposed by
Mr. Lucas, on behalf of two creditors, and supported by
Mr. Cooke.

In addition to the business of publican, the bankrupt
had recently engaged in building speculations, to which
he attributed his failure. His debts amounted to nearly
9,000 L, of which 2,2181. was owing without security.
Tho property held by creditors was estimated at 6,420/.;
his furniture had sold for 572/., and his good debts were
estimated at 178/. From the bankrupt's examination it
appeared that in September last he handed over to his
father a lease, as a security for 130/. advanced to him
shortly before. His bankruptcy took place on the 9th
of December. This case did not appear in his balance-
sheet.

The CommismoNErt—And this sum you spent in law,
in sham pleading. Here is an item of 5041,a8 law ex-
pellees, and he has borrowed money in all directions •
the charge for interest only is 569 L, together 1,0731.
Not content with carrying on the business of a publican
pretty successfully, he had been tempted by the brewers
to build a public-house, they advancing the money on
condition of his taking their beer. With regard to this
speculation he bad kept no account, and all was guess.
work. The interests of commerce required that the
bankrupt should be punished for this conduct. He ought
to have come to this court, if at all, much earlier, before
(!iving up the lease to his father. The certificate must
be suspended twelve months from this date.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HoLnovn.).
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF STEIN, SMITH, AND CO.

In this matter there was a dividend meeting. The
failure took place so far back as 1812. The bankrupts
were merchants in Fenchurch-street. A dividend of
three half-pence in the pound will be declared in a few
days. The amount for which they 'failed was more than
60,0001.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 25.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.)
IN RE C. H. CULLEY.

This was an adjourned case. This insolvent had car-
ried on business as a butcher in Bury-street, St. James's,
and had appealed to the Court of Bankruptcy as an in-
solvent in the year 1846. He was now supported by Mr.
Duncan, and opposed by Mr. Dowse for Mr. Baker, a
grazier in Essex, with whom the insolvent had had ex-
tensive dealings, and now owed him a balance of 1021.
A prolonged investigation was entered upon as to a
mortgage deed upon some landed property, which the in-
solvent had granted to a relative by way of security for
7501. advanced to him, being his savings during 40 years
service in the family of Mrs. Clitheroe ; aad a charge of
undue preference was urged by the learned counsel.
The COMMISSIONER said that the advances appeared
to have been obtained by the insolvent, in order to
keep himself afloat in business, and to pay his creditors.
He did not think the case made out was sufficient to
justify a remand.
The insolvent was then discharged.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.)
RE JAMES GRANT.

This insolvent, an aged man, was supported by Mr.
Dowse. The case had been more than once adjourned,
and the evidence produced at the various hearings dis-
closed a series of transactions, by which a large amount
had been transferred from the insolvent's hands into
those of a woman who had been his housekeeper, and
other persons who appeared to be confederates with her.
To-day it was stated that Mr. Bowyer, who was a
principal creditor and assignee, intended to / have the
conduct of all the parties sifted in another court.
The COMMISSIONER said that the question for him to
decide was whether the insolvent had been the victim or
the accomplice of the conspiracy which, it seemed
evident, had bcen concocted. From all that had trans-
pired in that court, it appeared that he should rather be
considered as a sufferer, than as implicated in any scheme
of fraud.

Some amendments being required in the schedule, the
insolvent was directed to come up on Monday for
,his
discharge.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Thompson Page and James Nicholson were brought
before the Lord Mayor ou the following charge:— '
George Goodman, clerk to Messrs. Currie, bankers,
stated that the cheque was brought to them on Thursday
morning, signed " Juhn Ingle," and he passed it to
another clerk in the house.
Michael Haydon, the officer, said—l was sent for to
the banking :house, and I found Nicholson there. A
cheque for 501. was produced, and I asked him where
he gut it. Ile replied, " From a man in a public-house
in Bishopagate-street, whom he did not know, but should
know again." I went with him to the public-house, and
he pointed out Page to me as the person. Page said it
was true, and that he had received the cheque on
Monday, in a letter from Mr. Ingle, of Plymouth. In
answer to other questions ho said he had left the letter
at his lodgings, but he did not know the name of the
street. At the house of Messrs. Currie he told them
the same tale. Upon searching Nicholson I found a
mariner's register ticket and a discharge from a vessel
at Plymouth. I also found smile letters upon him,
which, as I was opening, he told me were merely love
letters, and I found them to be as he described.Mr;Woodhouse, clerk at Messrs. Currie's, said he
knew Mr. Ingle, of Devonpert, who kept an account at
the house, and believed the writing on the check not to
be that gentleman's' They had received information
that some person had surreptitiously obtained Mr. Ingle's
cheque bock, and cautioning them upon the subject, and
since that time he was to use black instead of red cheques.
Nicholson said I know nothing of this man (Page). I
never saw him before to-day, when I went into the public-
house to get a glass of ale. He there asked me to take
the check to the banking house.
The prisoners were remanded.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
George Anderson, a person of dashing appearance,
living at No. 1.5, Queen-street, Brompton, was brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having obtained goods
fraudulently, and with having committed forgery.
Henry Sadler, job master, 137 k, New Bond-street,
said, on the 31st of August, 1846, the prisoner called on
him, and said he had been recommended to him by his
neighbour, Mr. Moore, as he wanted to hire a horse for
a short time. Prosecutor consented to let a horse on
hire for a short period, and, according to the directions
received from the prisoner, he sent the horse to Ealing.
Six weeks afterwards the prosecutor went down to
Ealing to make inquiries, but he could hear nothing of
the prisoner or the horse.
James Matterface, coachmaker, Hammersmith, said in
July, 1846, the prisoner hired a phmton from him at 2/.
a month. The phaeton was sent to Ealing, but from that
time prosecutor had never been able to meet with the
prisoner.
Police-constable Rackstraw said he found 104 dupli-
cates on the prisoner when he took him into custody.
In defence, the prisoner said the horse was an old
anitnal, and he was to give 181. for it. The phmton also
was to be purchased for a stated sum.
Mr. Sadler and Mr. Matter/ace said there was no truth
in the prisoner's defence.
Mr. Sadler said he had no doubt, at a future examina-
tion, numerous other charges would be brought against
the prisoner.
A charge of forgery was then preferred against the
prisoner by Mr. Allen, plumber and glazier, Avery-row,
Bond-street, who had received a bill from the prisoner
wit'n Mr. Moore's name on it, which name was pronounced
to be a forgery.
The prisoner was committed on the two first cases, and
remanded on the third, and ordered to be brought up on
Monday. next.

" I have now for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygeinn Dis-
pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been
treatell gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine
of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my
opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in
hundreds), that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. '1 he cases
which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of
a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos-
pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that
patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Ilyeeian medicines.
The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my
book for the inspection of the publio. I have treated upwards of 309
poor patients during the past year, and I have now about 150 on the
Dispensary books. In conclusion, I beg to return my sincere thanks
to the subscribers to the Dispensary.

DUNDEE TRADE, FEU 23.—During the past week
a pretty fair business has been doing in flax, at about our
last quotations. There has also been more demand for
yarns, but in most instances the sellers have had to sub-
mit to some reduction in prices. Linens of all decriptions
are also moving off pretty freely, though prices are in
favour of the buyer. No arrivals from foreign ports
during the last eight days. By last accounts from the
Baltic ports, there was more firmness on the part of
the dealers in flax, The feeling was more in favour of
an advance than a decline in prices.—Courier.
MisrLAcED CONFIDENCE.—On Tuesday last, a
gentleman who had just taken a seat in the mail coach,
about to start from Princes-street to Carlisle, asked a
man, named Thomas Wright, who was lounging at the
coach o!•'.ice, to get silver for twa one pound notes. Wright
returned with change for one pound, and pretending that
he would go to another shop to change the other note,
he decamped with it altogether. On the same day he
was apprehended by the police in Toddrick's Wynd,
very much intoxicated, and 10s. 7d. was found in his
possession. lie was triA belore acting Sheriff Ckg.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The most Effectual Cure for
Gout and Rheumatism is Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
—A frequent cause of these complaints is the inflama-
tory state of the blood, as they are generally attended
with bad digestion, lassitude and great debility,
showing the want of a proper circulation of the
fluids, and that impurity of the blood greatly
aggravates these painful disorders. Holloway's pills
are of so purifying a nature, that a few doses
taken in time is an effectual preventative against gout
and rheumatism; but every one that has an attack
of either should use Holloway's ointment also, the
powerful properties of Whicii cotnbined with the effect of
the pills, ensures a certain cure. Sold by all druggists,
and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand,
London.

Tan TEA DUTIES.—The deliveries of tea from the
bonded warehouses, immediately after the notice of the
Minister announcing his revenue policy, have been con-
siderable. Although there was very little probability of
a reduction of the rated duty at pr6telit levied on the
article being proposed, notwithstanding the movement
which bad been made in certain quarters on the subject,
yet the trade in a great measure withheld the payment
of duties at the last moment to a certain extent, in the
possible event of the Government intending to make any
alteration in the existing rate of duty on the article.
ROBBERY AT AI'SLEY HOUSE.— Yestc-day, a
journeyman sweep, who had been engaged in cleansing
the flues at Apsley House, was detected by the porter
leaving the premises with a quantity of valuable pro-
perty concealed in his soot bag.. He was at once placed
to custody of the pulse, and, removed to the station-
house in Vine•street, Piccadilly, and will be examined
at Marlborough-street this day.
