INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

James Youvg was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the part
of a creditor named Baker, and was supported by Mr.
Woodroffe.

The father of the insolvent, who had been a carrier and
coach proprietor, in Crown- street, Soho, for twenty years,
died some years .ago. His mother continued to carry on
the business until her death in May 1832. The property
was then divided between the insolvent and his brother,
the former took th.! stock and the latter the money. He
carried on the business for about twelve months. in No-
vember, 1833, he sold the stock of horses, hackney-coaches,
and cabs, and received, after deducting the expenses of
Mr. Robinson, of the Horse Repository, the sum of
326/. ; at that period be owed 2261., from which debts be
now applied to be dischaiged. He received the money
from Mr. Robinson in November 1833, and went to prison
in Nov. last. On being asked what he had done with the
money, he replied, " I have spent it."
Mr. CooKE—Pray, have you been to horse races ? I
have.

Mr. CooKE—Have you been to prize fights ? Yes, I
have. - -

Mr. COOKE—Have you visited gambling-houses ? I
have.

--•
Mr. COOKS—That is the way in which the money was
spent.
The insolvent admitted he had spent monoy Li the va-
rious "sporting" places. lle had, he said, lived on the
money, and had none left when he went to prison. It was
all gone, and he had nothing for his creditors.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER sentenced the in-
solvent to an imprisonment of 14 calendar months, for a
gross making away with property.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Daniel Regan, a full-grown sweep, was yesterday brought
in custody before Sir F. ROE, charged with having been
found concealed in the kitchen of Mr. John Squire Burrows,
of King-street, Covent-garden, early that morning, with in-
tent to commit felony.
Mr. Burrows deposed to the fact of his having found the
prisoner huddled up in a corner of his kitchen, he having
taken the opportunity of the temporary absence of the ser-
vants to slip down stairs, evidently with the design of car-
rying something away with him.
The prisoner, whose countenance exhibited a singular
mixture of humour and low cunning, when asked by the Ma-
gistrate what he had to say to th charge, replied, with a
wonderful appearance of innocence and candour, " I assure
your Vorship this here charge that the gentleman brings
against me is all wrong, and as for whipping away any of
his traps, I'd scorn the haction."
Sir F. ROE—What business had you in the gentleman's
kitchen ? Prisoner—V y, your worship knows as yell as I
do, that the new hact of Parlymint vont let us cry sveep
no longer in the streets, and so, you see, ve're 'bliged to
knock at gentlemen's doors in the morning to look for a
job. I sees this gentleman's door open, and thought there
would be no harm to go down to the kitchen and ax the
cook if the chimnies didn't vant a sweeping. The cook
warn't in the way, and I thought I'd sit down in the cor-
ner and rest my bones a bit, till some of the sarvants come
down.
Notwithstanding the ingenious defence of Master Chum-
my, the magistrate, conceiving that the situation in which
he was found warranted the conclusion that his object was
to commit felony, sentenced him to be committed to the
House of Correction, as a rogue and vagabond, for two
months.

Yesterday a ruffianly-looking man named Daniel &A-
ran, and a boy named Brown, were charged, the latter
with committing a robbery, and the former with assaulting
the person robbed, and endeavouring to rescue Brown.
A young man named Valentine was passing along Drury-
lane on Tuesday evening, when he felt a pull at his coat-
pocket, and turning round, saw Brown with his pocket-
handkerchief in his hand. He seized him, and was taking
him off to the station-house when he was surrounded by a
gang, several of whom called out—" Rescue," and " Fetch
Big Dan." The prisoner Sullivan came up and knocked
Mr. Valentine down with a tremendous blow on the nose.
Assistance, however, came up, and the prisoners were se-
cured.—Committed.
