INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)

James Sullivan, a poor Irish labourer, applied upon his
petition to be discharged.
The insolvent in answer to the interrogatories of Mr. Com-
missioner BowEs, stated that he had been in prison ever
since July last, and all he owed, or was claimed against him
in the world was 91., he had been sued by a baker named
Jones for a debt of 4/. 14s. He gave a cognovit payable by
instalments, and had paid off the debt and costs the sum of
3/. 145., so that only 1/. remained owing on the original debt.
He was taken in execution in July, and believed 9/. was claimed
as a balance for the debt and costs.

Mr. Commissioner BowEN.—And so you have been in
prison six months for thi§ debt ?
The insolvent said it was seven months, his wife had since
his confinement been obliged to part with what little furniture
he had, and she had sold sprats to support herself.
Mr. Commissioner Bowen commiserated with the poor
fellow on his long imprisonment, lie said it was a cruel case,
and ordered his immediate discharge.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

The. February Sessions commenced to-day before the Lord
Mayor, the Recoider, the Deputy Recorder, the Common
Sergeant, and Mr. Alderman Kelly.
The RECORDER, the Grand Jury having been sworn in, pro-
ceeded to address them. The Learned Judge having gone
through the various charges in the calendar, observed, that
although many of them were of a most serious nature, yet he
thought they might terminate their labours by the end of the
week. With respect to the case of Palmer, the prisoner
charged with committing the incendiary fires at Rotherhithe,
the Learned Judge stated, if the Grand Jury thought the cir-
cumstances of suspicion against him were not sufficient to
warrant them in supposing that a conviction would follow, he
should advise them to throw out the bill.

The Grand Jury then retired.
There are 172 prisoners for trial. From Middlesex, 121 ;
London, 24 ' • Surrey, 17 ; Kent, 9 ; and Essex, 1.
Jeremiah Grogan was indicted for stealing a pair of hoots
in the parish of St. Mary, Newington.
This trial was proceeding when our reporter left.
