FRIDAY EVENINrG, SEPTEMBER 5, 1851

to the house, and found one of the prisoners washing
the horse's mouth with a quart of ale, the distressed
animal having had a continuous run of sixty miles.
Dixon and Peters sat down on a bench outside the
house, until the other four prisoners entered the
house. The officers then went up to them, and told
them they were their prisoners. On asking the
reason, Dixon charged them with the burglary at
Presteign. The prisoner Russ then said "I shall
go to my horse," on which Dixon seized him, and as
there were preparations for a fight on the part of the
prisoners, Peters, in order to alarm them, threatened
that if they did not keep quiet, he would " put a bit of
lead into them." Russ then sat down, but in a minute
after he jumped up and leaped through the kitchen
window, breaking several squares of glass. Dixon,
however, went out and secured him; after which he
went to the cart along with a young man named
Thomas Knowles, whom he got to assist him. Dixon
pointed to some bags that were in the cart, and on en-.
deavouring to secure them, a large dog, which was in
the vehicle flew at him, and bit him on the knee ; but
he succeeded in beating him off. At this moment the
prisoner Davis came through the window into the
yard where the cart was, on which Dixon left the
dog, went to Davis, and struck him down, and with
the assistance of Peters, secured him, and took him
into the house, where a desperate fight took place, the
prisoners using fire-irons and a life-preserver, but
eventually the prisoners were all disarmed and se-
cured by ropes. Dixon then went again to the cart,
and there found secreted in a bag a large quantity of
silver plate, consisting of coffee-pots, dessert articles,
spoons, salvers, jugs, toast-racks, &c. In one of the
bags were found a centre- bit, a large quantity of
pieklocks, a jemmy, several skeleton drop latches, and
a dark lantern. The house of Mrs. Evans had been
entered by taking a piece of wood out of the shutter
of the butler's pantry, and the centre-bit found exactly
fitted the bit of wood that had been cut out; and the
stolen property, although much broken and damaged,
has been identified by Mrs. Evans, who is the widow
of the late Rev. Mr. Evans, of Greenfields, which is
seven miles from Kington. The prisoners had resided
in the neighbourhood a fortnight previous to the rob-
bery. They were remanded back to Presteign.—

vji ving partner of the firm of John Field Rhodes and

am ount drawn from firm by J. F. Rhodes, 681.; ditto

His HONOUR observed that the bankrupt was all
but solvent. How came he here ?
Mr. Linklater, who supported the bankrupt, said
an arrangement had been attempted, but without
SUCCESS.
The bankrupt passed without opposition.

IN RE ROLTEIO6i.
His HoNoun said he would give judgment in this
case on Thursday next.

IN RE BURN.

The bankrupt, Andrew Burn, of Sackville-street,
Piccadilly, draper, applied for his certificate.
The accounts commence in January, 1844, and end
in June, 1851, and show the following :—Creditors
goods, 8891.; bills, 2,5691.; creditors holding secu-'
rity, 1,054/. • capital in January, 1844, 2,853/. ;

position.

been attributable to circumstances in which the bank-
rupt had been accidentally involved, and which had
nothing to do with his manner of conducting his re.
gular business. He should grant a certificate of the
second class. He had very incautiously involved him-
self in hazardous transactions, and be had no doubt
that if he had attended solely to his shop be would
have been a prosperous man.
Mr. LINKLATER afterwards informed the Court that
the bankrupt bad entered into an arrangement by
which he could carry on his business as before.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept 4.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS sat this morning and
disposed of a number of applications for bail of an or-
dinary nature.

IN ILE CHARLES NASH.
This insolvent, a colonial and Parliamentary agent,
was heard some time since, and was remanded
for eight calendar months at the suit of a Mr.
Thwaites.

To-day an application was made on the insolvent's
behalf for an order of discharge to issue, notwithstand-
ing a detainer lodged since the adjudication by a cre-
ditor named Lewis.

The Learned COMMISSIONER thought that as the
remand was confined to the suit of one creditor, the
insolvent was entitled to his discharge against all the
rest.

A further application was then made for the in-
solvent's discharge forthwith, upon the ground that
the detaining creditor, Mr. Thwaites, had omitted to
pay to the insolvent the allowance, as. 6d. per week, or-
dered by the Court. The period of remand would
not expire until next month.

Mr. Ingpen, the registrar, discovered that the ser-
vice upon Mr. Thwaites was imperfect, and
Mr. Commissioner Puu.rurs therefore refused to
make any order.

Mary Young, who had in her arms an infant, said
that she was married to prisoner on the 3d of Feb.,
1849, at St. Mary's, Marylebone. He represented
himself to her as being a widower.
Dafter (the officer) stated that on the same after-
noon (yesterday) he took the prisoner in charge close
to the western entrance of the Great Exhibition ; and,
on his being made acquainted with the nature of the
offence for which he was taken, he at once admitted
that he had married the two women.
Tae marriage certificate•necessary to complete the
case was produced by Mr. Ticherier ; and
The prisoner was committed fur trial.
WESTMINSTER.
A young woman in very humble circumstances
complained that she was daily subjected to the most
brutal treatment by her husband, and solicited the
magistrate's immediate protection, as she was appre-
hensive, from the threats used by him, that if he dis-
covered she had been there he would murder her
upon her return home. The worthy magistrate having
heard her statement, and there being no doubt that
she went in bodily fear, granted a warrant, which
was immediately placed in the hands of Knowland,
one of the summoning officers of the court, who
promptly executed it, and brought the offender,
Thomas Yarmson, a brutal-looking fellow, before the
magistrate in less than half an hour.
The wife repeated that she was commonly treated
by the defendant i❑ the most cruel manner. He re-
peatedly beat her so brutally that she was literally
covered with bruises. His language and threats were
most horrible, the latter being used to deter her from
complaining of his unmanly violence. She had, un-
fortunately, got a bad leg, which was at times most
painful, and when he had beaten her as long as he
could stand over her, he caused her the most excru-
ciating agony by kicking the affected limb. That
morning he took up a knife, and swore vs,itla a dread
ful oath that he would thrust it into her as tar as it
would go if he found that she complained to a ma-
gistrate.
Mr. BRODERIP inquired bow long she had been
married.
The poor woman replied last Christmas, since
which she had scarcely known a day's happiness. Her
husband, besides beating her in the brutal manner
described, was an idle, worthless fellow, who did no
work and was supported by her industry.
The landlord of the house where they live and a
fellow-lodger were called, both of whom confirmed
complainant's account of her husband's brutality.
The defendant endeavoured to palliate his conduct
by alleging that his wife kept late hours, and was
given to drink.
Mr. BRODERIP recalled the witnesses, who posi-
tively denied it.
The fellow, finding his endeavours to blacken his
wife's character had failed, changed his tone, and in
a cringing voice " hoped she didn't mean to prosecute
him."

The poor woman replied she did.
Mr. BRODER!? observed that an immense deal of
brutality bad been proved in this case, and he should
call upon the defendant to find good bail for six
months. It would be also as well to tell him that it
would be useless to expect any mitigation of his sen-
tence, for unless he found the required sureties he
should remain in gaol the full period.
He was committed in default.
WORSHIP-STREET.
John Logid, a ruffianly fellow, who has been
before in custody at this court for different of-
fences, and Maria Logid, his wife, were brought up
before Mr. Hawmill, charged with the following cow-
ardly and unprovoked attack upon a young woman
named Mary Julian, the daughter of a lamp-manu-
facturer in Goldsmith's-row, Hackney, and her bro-
ther, a lad 14 years of age ; and the female prisoner
was also charged with assaulting and severely biting
the father of the complainants, who had interposed
for their protection.
It appeared from the evidence that the female com-
plainant and her brother were proceeding home to
the house of their father at eleven o'clock on the pre-
ceding night, when they were encountered by the
male prisoner, to whom they were perfect strangers,
who assailed her with a disgusting observation, im-
puting that there was an improper intimacy between
her and her brother. After indignantly expostulating
with him upon such a gross insinuation, she was hur-
rying on to avoid further molestation, when the pri-
soner seized her by the arms, and, forcing her back
against a wall, commenced an unmerciful attack upon
her, and beat her about the chest and other parts at
her person till she was almost senseless. tier brother
interfered and endeavoured to rescue his sister from
further brutality, but was instantly seized by the male
prisoner, who struck him and flung him heavily upon
the pavement, while his wife renen el the attack upon
the young woman, whom she continued beating until
their father, who had been apprised of the ill-treatment
they were sustaining, ran up to their assistance, and
was attempting to rescue them, when the female pri-
soner rushed upon him and bit him with such severity
in the arm that he had suffered the most acute pain
all night from the injury. Both prisoners then ran
away, but were pursued by the witness and a con-
stable, and, after a sharp chase, were at length secured
and lodged in the station.

Mr. Julien corroborated the evidence of the other
witnesses, and exhibited his arm to the magistrate, i❑
which the prints of the female prisoner's teeth re-
mained deeply indented.
The prisoner, in general terms,cienied the facts al-
leged against them, and called two persons who were
intimately connected with them, with the view of re-
butting the material portions of the evidence, but
their testimony was entirely nugatory ; and
Mr. HAMMILL, after very strongly animadverting
upon the wanton and brutal nature of the outrage,
sentenced the male prisoner to pay a penalty of 51.
for the assult upon the young women, or in default
to stand committed for two months to the House of
Correction, together with a second penalty of 2/. for
his attack upon her brother, or in default a third
month's imprisonment, to commence at the expintion
of the first, and ordered the female prisoner to pay a
penalty of 40s. for her attack upon Mr. Julien him-
self, or in default to also stand committed for one
month to the House of Correction.
Neither of the penalties was paid, and both the
prisoners were consequently removed in the van.

North, New-road, was brought up by Dafter, 346 A,
and placed at the bar before the sitting magi.trate,
Mr. Long, on the charge of having intermarried with
Mary Young, his first wife, Anne Matthews, being
at the time and now living.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Tichener,
solicitor, Chichester.
Sophia Beeres proved that nine years ago the pri-
soner married her sister at the parish church of St.
Peter, Chichester. She was still living, and, to the
best f witness's belief, was at the present time an
inmate of the Bethnal-green Lunatic Asylum. She
had seen her there within the last twelve months.
Prisoner—l was under an
,impression that she was
dead.
