INSOLVENCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

John Warner was brought up on his petition to be
,cliaried. The insolvent, not being opposed, was ordered
be discharged forthwith.

Elijah Alice, who was unopposed, was brought up
on his petition to be discharged. From the exa-
mination of the insolvent by Mr. Commissioner
Bowen, it appeared that ha had originally lived
in Norfolk, but in consequence of family jars, had
been separated some time from his wife, and lived in
London. On his becoming entitled, some time ago, to a
little money, his wife, who was as fond of thatcommodity
as himself, came again to live with him, and, as the
insolvent alleged, received the property to which he was
entitled. The insolvent did not now know where hiswife
was, but protested solemnly that he had had no part of
the money.

Mr. COMMISSIONER BROWN, who did not place much
reliance upon the statements of the insolvent, ordered his
c.ise to be adjourned, to afford him an opportunity of
finding out the residence of his wife, and to account for
the 641.

Cre!wall 'Wright was brought up on his
petition to be discharged. The insolvent was opposed by
Mr. Boone, and supported by Mr. Woodruffe.
This cave appeared likely to last for some time, and
was proceeding when our reporter left.

SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.)

GRANT V. HIMPSON.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was a
baker in Fetter-Line, Holborn, to recover Si. 11s. I Id.,
being the balance of an account fur bread supplied to the
defendant, who was an attorney's clerk.
It appeared from the testimony of the plaintiff's jour-
neyman that his master had supplied the defendant's
family with bread and flour, amount iv from Nov. 1831,
to Jan. 1833, to 13/. Ils, 11d., and that during that
period only 5/. I.al been paid, although the accounts had
never been disputed.

The witness was cross-examined, with a view of
showing that more than 51. had been paid, but he knew
of no other sum.

The defendant's solicitor, in addressing the Jury, said he
must consent to a verdict for the amount claimed, not being
able to prove that any more than 5/. had been paid, and
the plaintiff's witness only admitting that sum. He had
been instructed, however, that more money ba I passed
between the parties themselves, but as he bad no witness
he could not prove it.

Tile Jury found for the plaintiff for 81. 119. 11d.

SEIZURE FOR ASSESSED TAXES AT
THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

We understand from authority on which we can rely,
that Mr. Hemp, the Sheriff's officer, in consequence of
information lie had received, proceeded this morning, as
early as Four o'clock, to a house nearly opposite Mr. Sa.
vage. Mechinics' Institute, where be discovered a great
portion of the furniture which he had seiz,d for assessed
taxes, and which had been forcibly rescued from him.
Mr. Kemp instantly removed the property to the
Ithrylebone station house, in doing which (perhaps in
consequence of the early hour), he did not receive the
slightest obstruction from any person. The person, in
whoFe house the goo ;s were deposited, instantly pointed
out the place where they were hid. We understand Mr.
Kemp bad a large body of police under his contr.,l on
the day be made the seizure; but fearing serious conse-
quences might ensue if he called them out, he dispensed
with their service&
