INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 21.

The Commissioners of the Court for Relief of In-
solvent Debtors have, in consequence of representa-
tions from the different prisons, had a communication
from the Home Secretary, and the result has been
an alteration in the sittings. The Court yesterday
issued the following rule, which has given much sa-
tisfaction :

" Upon consideration of the disease now prevail-
log in the metropolis, and the expediency of dimi-
nishing the nnmber of prisoners confined in the
prisons, it is ordered that all orders for hearing is-
sued for the vacation sittings, heretofore appointed
to commence on the 11 th of September, may be
brought back to the office, and that new orders shall
be thereupon issued for a speedy hearing. It is
further ordered, that in all cases of persons who were
in prison on Saturday, and who shall have filed their
petitions and schedules on or before Tuesday, the
31st inst., orders shall be issued for early hearing,
the vacation being for this purpose suspended. In
all other cases which shall hereafter arise, orders will
not be issued for hearing on any earlier day than the
course of business would have given if:this order had
not been issued."

Since the promulgation of the rule, a great many
orders have been returned, and the hearings ap-
pointed for the September sittings have been fixed
for t-ie 20th of August, and the subsequent days.
The hearings could not have been appointed sooner,
;s$ the Act requires 21 days' notice to be given to
all creditors above 51. Ir is understood that the
Court will sit from the 20th of August until the
26th of September, and will then adjourn until the
b.linning of November.

SUMMER ASSIZES.

HOME CIR CUIT.-,CRZLAISFOAD. JULY 24.

The Judges opened the commission for the county
of Essex )esterday, and to-day the business of the
assizes commoiced.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY sat at the Nisi Prius, and
Lord TENTERDEN on the Crown side.

Charles and John Dyson, brothers, labourers, both
youn4 men, were indicted for stealing on the 3d of
June last, at Horndon-on-ilie-Hill, two lambs, the
property of Mark Gotta.
On Sunday morning, on the day after the rob-
bery, Mr. Gotts traced the marks of persons through
the standing corn, upwards of three miles, in the
direction of the house in which the prisoners lived.
When the house in which they lived was entered by
the parties in search, they were found cooking some
pieces of lamb which had been cut from the carcass
in a very unbutcherlike manner. Prisoners said
they bought it of a man in the road. The skin of
the lamb was discovered last Thursday, in a held of
tares belonging to the prosecutor.
They were both found Guilty, and sentenced,
under the new Act, to transportation for life.
John Boutell and William Gage were indicted for
stealing on the 15th of March lasr,,at Little Yeldam,
a lamb, the property of Henry Parke.
The Jury found them both Guilty, and they were
sentenced to transportation for life.

James Murrell, aged 24, shoemaker, and Mary
Monk. aged 24 were charged with having broken
and entered the dwelling-houie of William Welden
on the 24th of April last, in the parish of Loughton,
and stealing therefrom ninety sovereigns and other
monies.

The female prisoner had been an indoor servant
to the prosecutor and his wife for three years and a
half, and had always been considered as an honest
woman. The prisoner Murrell was her sweetheart,
and was also a tenant to Mr. Welden, of a cottage,
at a short distance from his own house. Mr. and
Mrs. Welden placed so much confidence in Murrell
that when absent from home, he slept in their house
to protect their property. They knew that he was
a " suitor" to Mary Monk, and that he was shortly
to be married to her. A few days before the rob-
bery, Mr. and Mrs. Welden returned home from
London, and Mrs. Welden went up stairs to her
bed-room, to unlock the iron chest in which the
money was kept, in order to get the keys of the
liquour-case out of it. As she rose from locking it
again, she perceived Mary Monk in the room, close
behind her, but Mary on bcinj perceived imme-
diately retired. This circumstance did not strike
her mistress at the time. On the morning of the
day laid in the indictment Mr. Welden left his house
early to go to London. Mrs. Welden at breakfast
was informed by Mary Monk that she had three times
dreamt that the iron chest was broken open, and the
house robbed. About ten o'clock in the morning
Mrs. Welden left home to visit a neighbour, having
given Monk leave to go and clean the cottage of
Murrell, bu t cautioned her to secure the house. On her
return home, about an hour afterwards, she found the
door open; she then called Monk from Murrell's
cottage, who said she had fastened it when she left.
