INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

An insolvent, named John Hammond, applied upon his peti-
tion to be discharged. He was unopposed by his creditors,
but was interrogated by the Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER.
The Learned COMMISSIONER minutely inspected the pro-
ceedings, and, addressing the insolvent, said—" I think you
have been one of the most adventurous persons I have seen for
a long time ; you were, I see, discharged in 1826, again in
April, 1830, and then having been twice relieved by this
Court, you attribute your present insolvency to having been
security for other persons, by accepting accommodation bills.
Surely, Sir, when you were before the Court on the last oc-
casion, you were told the consequences that would result from
putting your name to accommodatior! papers ?"
Insolvent—" Oh, your honour, I did not put my name to the
bills for strangers."
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—" I don't care, Sir; you must have
known perfectly well that if you accepted accommodation bills
for any person, and applied to this Court again within five
years, you would disentitle yourself to the benefit of the Act."
The Learned COMMISSIONER held that the insolvent was not
a fit person for relief, and ordered the case to be adjourned, for
him to obtain the consent of three fourths of his creditors.

The case was accordingly adjourned sine die.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Samuel Hayes was convicted of stealing a purse containing
eleven sovereigns, from the person of Thomas Smith, a farmer,
residing at Hounslow.

NEW COURT.

Grace Draper, 25, and Mary Morgan, 26, were indicted
for stealing from the person of Jas. Holt the sum of 'ls. 6d.
The prosecutor was passing down Kingsland road on the
13th February last, about eleven o'clock at night, when he
was accosted by the prisoners, who asked for something to
drink, and Draper put her hand into the prosecutor's waistcoat
pocket and pulled out the money. A scuffle ensued, and the
prisoners attempted to throw him down, and called out " Bill,
Bill," when a man ran up, and they then succeeded in throw-
ing down the prosecutor, and ran off. Holt described them
to a policeman, and they were shortly afterwards taken into
custody. Guilty.
