let No. 963, and who was employed by Robert

charged by the policeman D 32, with running a race
against another cab, whose number he could not
take, and whose driver had thus escaped.

QUEEN-S Q UARE.
Yesterday James Acres, a master chimney-
sweeper, of No. 5, Gilbert-street, Bloomsbury, was
charged with furiously driving a one-horse cart, and
killing a mare belonging to Captain Saunders, of
the Royal Artillery, stationed at Woolwich.
The defendant was fined 10s., and his address
was given to Captain Saunders, in order that he
might proceed against him for the damage in any
way he might think proper.
John Lunipus, the youth who was charged with
presenting a check for 2501. purporting to be signed
by Mr. Byng, M. P., at the Bulking-house of
Messrs. Drummond, at Charing-cross, and which
was detected at the time to be a forgery, was brought
up for further examination.
The prisoner, it will be recollected, said that the
check was given to him by a gentleman in St.
James's-park to get cashed, and he would wait for
it at Buckingham-gate.
The solicitor for Messrs. Drummond said, that on
account of the youth of the prisoner it was not the
intention of his clients to proceed further.
The prisoner was consequently discharged, and
left the office with his relations.
UNION HALL.

A woman named Brennan was brought up in
custody on the following charge :—On Monday

- -
went to live at Nottingham, where he purchased
from a Mr. Truswell a hackney-coach and a livery.-
stable business. Fur this he paid down, at the time
the purchase was made, 350/. and subsequently paid
60/. our of the remaining balance of 701. At the
time of going to Nottingham his capital amounted to
450/. His stock in trade consisted of six gigs, t.co
flys, a hearse, numerous sets of double ands ogle
harness, &c. While residing in Nottingham,
young lady, named Louisa, whom he hail enticed
from her home in London*, resided with him as his
wife. He was sorry to say that such was the fact.
On the 28th of January, in the present year, while
Louisa Has still living with him, he went, without
her knowledge, to Ashby •de-la-Zouch, and w- s mars
tied to another young woman, with whom he after.
wards repaired to a village within a mile of Notting-
ham. Insolvent did not enter the town, because lie .
was afraid of being arrested at the suit of Messrs,
Stones and Harvey. Feb. 4, he found that Louisa had
become acquainted with his marriage, and Lad hastily
fled from Nottingham. On the same day insolvent
sold his business and stock in trade to a person
named William Stagg, the brother of George Snap,
his groom, for 80/. abandoned his wife, and went
off in pursuit of the fugitive. His furniture, in two
small rooms, he gave to George Stagg, as a remtv
neration fur his services. If the stock had been fairly
and openly sold, it would, he admitted, in all proba-,
bilty, have fetched from 21;0/. to 3001. George.,
his groom, accompanied him 4.n his journey. They
went first to Leicester, and from thence to Nortit.-:
ampton, St. Alban's, and Wendover, at the latter of
which places they met with Louisa. On his return
he discharged his servant at Northampton, and pro-
ceeded to Birmingham, where, on the 11th of Feb.,
lie and Louisa took up their abode at the Crown and
Cushion, in Can's-lane. Insolvent had then about
40/. left, having expended the other moiety of the
money received from Stagg in his journey. With this
he proposed to commence business as a horse-dealer
Ire accordingly bought some of 'Mr. Beardsworth,
for one of which he gave 201., and for the other he
was to have paid 30/., but only paid 20/. on account.
He took the first horse to Mr. Greig's stable, in
Bradford-street, and subsequently exchanged it for a
mare. In the course of a few days he was arrested,
when he had not more than a sovereign in the world.
His retreat was discovered by his wife, and Louisa
again escaped to London. While in the cus-
tody of Badham, the Sheriff's officer, a man,
named Sykes, whom he had previously known
at Nottingham, and who was in Mr. Beards.
worth's employ) called upon him for the purpose of
purchasing the mare. He asked him 25/. for it, but
ultimately, being in want of money, agreed to sell it
for 13/. The money was paid to his wife. On the
18th of February he wrote to Messrs. Stone and
Harvey, offering to make over to them, for the
benefit of his creditors, a reversionary interest under
his grandfather's will, which he should enjoy, con-
jointly with his sister, on the death of his mother.
He likewise offered 150/., a debt owing to him by
his mother. On inquiry, however, it apptared, that
the debt due from his mother, being contracted in
the absence and without the consent of his father,
could not be legally recovered; and the rever-
sionary interest be possessed, under a deed of gift,
depended upon contingencies, which rendered its en-
joyment by the insolvent extremely problematical.
In answer to a qtleation from Mr. CaustP,jon., who
conducted the insolvent's case, he stated that during
the time he was at ;Nottingham he kept a lacmg
mare, by which he lost. His profits in business
might have averaged 400/. a year; and if Messrs.
Stone and Harvey would have consented to take 51.
per month, which he offered to them, he would have
been fully able to extricate himself from his em-
barrassments.

Mr. JONES, on behalf of the creditors, prayed that
the Court would adjourn the insolvent until next
Circuit, that he might amend his schedule by the
setting forth of certain debts said to be owing to him
—that G. and W. Stagg and Mrs. Our,ely might be
produced as witnesses, and that proper inquiry
might be instituted as to the interest of the in-
solvent under the grandfather's deed of gift.
The COMMISSIONER sentenced him to imprison-
ment for eight calendar months from the date of
filing his petition, and to be further imprisoned until
he produced a copy of his grandfather's deed of gift.

4 The insolvent is, we believe, as he atmtes, a son a
Major. General Ouseley, but long since discarded by his
father fur his dissipated and irreclaima 'le courses. In
1830 or 1831, a situation was procured for him in the
Police, and having, while so employed, engag,cl the aff, c-
oons of the daughter of a most respectable jeweller in the
Strand, he induced her to elope with him, leaving a wife
and child dependent on the charity of strangers fur support.

On Saturday HENRY PARKER, aged 19,
convicted at the late Warwick assizes for firing at SIMEoII
CLAY, gamekeeper to Colonel NEWDIGATE, in a wood nt
Chilvers Coton, underwent the sentence of the law on the
top of the county gaol. His struggles were short, and
his youth excited general commise-ation. Until the arrival
of the mail on the morning of his exi-cution, hopes were
entertained by his friends that his life would tie spared.—
