The executors of Lord Egremont refused the insolvent
any remuneration for the work unless he could produce
some document showing that he had been commissioned
by his Lordship to execute it.
The insolvent acknowledged that he had written the
letter, although the fact had escaped his memory. It
was merely an application for any document which the
lady might possess, for the purpose of showing that he
had Lord Egremont's order to erect the altar-piece at
his expense.
A letter was then read from Lord Egremont, printed
in the newspapers of the day, in which his Lordship de-
nied that he had ever given anything, or that he should
ever give anything, towards the decoration of any Roman
Catholic Chapel ; and stating that he had no connection
with the erections of the altar-piece of the Chapel at
Brighton.
The insolvent stated that the letter had been written
by Lord Egremont, for the purpose of discountenancing
a report that he was at the time about to become a Ro-
man Catholic.

everal letters were then read from Lord Egremont to
the insolvent relating to the works of the latter, and
more particularly a monument to the late Mr. Huskisson.
The answer to the bill having been read,
Mr. COOKE said be presumed that the answer was re-
ceived, not merely to show 'that such a proceeding took
place in Chancery, but that would be made evidence in
this case, and taken as an examination of Mr. Carew there.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—I presume that is so.
Mr. PLATT—Subject to any falsification.
Mr. NicnoLLs said it was then half-past five, and asked
the Learned Commissioner to adjourn the Court.
Thu case was then adjourned till Wednesday next.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday a young man,named—William Hutchings,
was brought up, charged by a baker, named Archibald
Charles, with having defrauded him of two shillings, by
means of a pass for two to the boxes and two to the
gallery of the Haymarket Theatre. The complainant
said that the prisoner, in offering the tickets for sale to
him, mentioned that they would admit on any night
from the 9th to the 18th of December, with the excep-
tion of Monday night, which was specified on the back
of the ticket.

Alderman WILSON (who presided on the occasion)
asked whether the signature to each of the tickets was
meant to be that of Mr. Webster, the proprietor ?—The
complainant said he could not make out the name.
The ALDERMAN, upon examining the ticket, said it
was impossible to say what name was upon them.
The policeman, who attends the theatre, produced
several other tickets, which were handed to him by per-
sons who had presented them at the doors of the theatre,
and were, of course, refused admission.

•
Mr. George Smith, cheque-taker at the Haymarket
Theatre, stated that the orders were not genuine, and
that within the last week about 200 such had been pre-
sented at the doors and rejected.
Alderman Wilson (to the complainant)--It is odd
that you should have supposed that you could get an or-
der for two to the boxes of such a theatre as the Hay-
market for a shilling.
The complainant said he did not entertain the least
suspicion of the genuineness of the order, and he knew
that admission to many theatres was, now-a-days, ex-
tremely cheap.

Alderman iSrusoN—This is a clear case of obtaining
money under false pretences.
Mr. Hobler—No doubt of it. I dare say if the pri-
soner is remanded we shall have a crowd of persons here
to claim acquaintance with him.
The complainant—The prisoner must have known all
about the deception, for he offered me 30s. to let him
off, and said that if I did not allow him to go he should
certainly be transported.
. . _ . _

Mr. smith said it had been ascertained at the theatre
that a ()Teat many false admissions of the kind had been
disposed of in the following manner:—A person who
stated himself to be employed to go round to the tobacco
and fruit-shops, and other premises in which theatre bills
were exhibited, to see that all was right with the display,
pulled out some of these admissions and handed them to
the several parties, saying that he was authorised by the
proprietor to supply them as a premium for their atten-
tion to the interests of the theatre; the shopkeepers were
of course much pleased at the compliment, and the pre-
tended messenger then appealed to them for a little remu-
neration for his trouble, and generally received a shilling
at each place.

Ald. SVILsoN said that the plan was very ingenious,
and a sure one. He should remand the prisoner till Tues-
day, and he hoped that a proper exposure would take
place.
