POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 13. I TILE GAOL DELIVERY UNDER THE NEW
BANKRUPICY ACT.

GUILDHALL.—John Josslyn, a needle manu-
facturer, of 10, Huggin-lane, recently in the em-
ploy of Mr. Walker, needle manufacturer, Gresham-
street, was charged before Alderman Lawrence
with embezzling the moneys of his master.
Mr. Robinson, instructed by Messrs. Ashley and
Tee, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh,
instructed by Mr; Clarke, conducted the defence.
Mr. Walker said- -Defendant was my managing
clerk, at 47, G:esharo-street, and has been in my
service about three years and. a half. I have also a
manufactory at Alcester.
Defendant's duty was to
receive moneys on my ae.-ount and pay them into
my bankers, Messrs. Pugett acid Bainbridge. The
draft produced for £2 3s. fl'oin Mrs. Halford, of
Warwick, dated Sept. 19, 186k.'y is endorsed in the
defendant's handwriting, but witilout my authority.
It is not entered in the book Which shows all
moneys received. In the general cash-book the de-
fendant debits himself with the amount received,
and credits himself with all moneys paid iato the
bank to my account, but there is no entry of the
draft for £2 3s. from Mrs. Halford, neither is credit
given in Mrs. Halford's account for it.
Cross-examined—l have been living at Aleester,
and have not examined all the books till lately. I
paid defendant 403. per week, and a bonus at stock-
taking, according to the business done. I discharged
him in July last in consequence of the irregularity
of his accounts.
J. Webb said—l am a traveller in Mr. Walker's
employ. On Oct. 3, 1860, I received 13s. 10d. from
Mrs. Halford, and handed it, with other sums, to
defendant at the end of the same month. I had pre-
viously advised him from whom I received it.
Mr. Walker recalled, said—The defendant has
cast up the debit side' of Mrs. Halford's account as
£4 4s. 2d., but it should have been £7 ls.
Cross examined—There is no foundation for his
claim to a partnership. Overtures were made at one
time with reference to his purchasing an interest in
the business) but he was unable to arrange the

terms, and the matter dropped.
Miss Pfeil said—l keep a fancy repository at
Lincoln. In December, 1860, I forwarded to Mr.
Walker two halves of a L 5 bank note, and I received
on the 10th of December, 1860, an acknowledgment
purporting to be signed by defendant for them.
Mr. Emmens said—l keep a fancy repository at
Abingdon. In the month of April last I sent up to
Mr. Walker the two halves of a £5 note, and on the
10th and 16th of April I received two letters, signed
with the defendant's name, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of them.
Mr. Walker recalled—The letters acknowledging

the receipt of the halves of the two £5 notes from
Miss Pfeil and Mr. Emmens are in the defendant's
handwriting. There is no entry of that £5 being
credited to Mr. Emmens on the 16th of April in the
book for accounts received ; but there is an entry of
£5 on that day in Miss Pfeil's account. There is
not, however, any entry in Miss Pfeil's account on
the 10th of December, 1860. Mr. Emmens is not
credited in any of the books for the £5 received in
April.
Edward. Spendlove, clerk to Messrs. Ashley and
Tee, said—We were employed to collect some ac-
counts for Mr. Walker on the 29th of April last,
and I took the cheque produced for £4 2s. to the
defendant, and he gave me £1 18s 6d, the amount
of our costs.
Mr. Walker recalled—There is no entry in the
book, either of £2 4s paid by the last witness, or of
the £1 18s 6d paid to Messrs. Ashley and Tee.
The cheque for £4 2s was paid in to my credit on
the Ist of May, but the amount paid into the bank
was deficient £2 4s upon the amount received.
There is no credit given for the £2 4s paid by the
last witness.
James Ogilvie Stewart, clerk to Messrs. Ashley
and Tee, said—On the 15th October, 1860, I gave
the defendant the post-office order produced for £3
9s, and he gave me a receipt.
Mr. Walker, recalled—The post-office order
referred to was paid into my banker's to my account
on the same day, but the amount paid in on that day
was £3 9s. less than had been received. The amount
has not been entered in the " accounts received"
book on Oct. 15, 1860, neither is it entered in the
ledger in which it should appear. On the Bth June,
1861, the defendant received a cheque for £2 13s.
6d. from Mr. Rountree, of Scarborough, and the re-
ceipts produced for that amount is in his handwrit-
ing. He paid that cheque with other amounts into
the bank, but the total is less by £2 13s, 6d. than
the defendant has debited himself with having re•
ceived. It is.not entered in the )edger or any other
book to the credit of Mr. Rountree.
Cross-examined—l cannot swear if the £5 notes

remitted by Miss Pfeil and Mr. Emmens have been
paid into the bank or not, as we usually pay notes
away as soon as we receive them. When I dis-
charged defendant ho handed me over a balance of
cash. It might have been £25, but not £5O. I
cannot tell the amount, as I did not count it or make

any note of the amount. He also gave me a list o
items to be entered, as his books were not balanced
I have had three or four clerks convicted for rob.

bing me, but I was robbed by eleven of my servants
before I prosecuted one.
Jno. Mark Bull, a detective officer, said—When
I took defendant into custody he said he had a com-
plete answer to the charge.
The defendant, on being cautioned in the usual
way, said he was innocent, after which he was com-
mitted to take his trial.
Wm. John Green, a respectable-looking lad, of
13, was charged with stealing 101bs. of brass rule,
belonging to Mr. Burt, a printer, of Holborn-hill,
and Jas. Parker, a marine-store dealer, was charged
with receiving it, knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for Parker, and called
several witnesses who had known him for years,
and gave him an excellent character.
Alderman Gabriel said Parker's character had
saved him, although his conduct was surrounded
with great suspicion, He therefore discharged him.
After admonishing the boy, he, at the intercession
of the prosecutor, in whose employ he was, dis-
charged him also.

WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL ASSAULT BY A
WOMAN.—Elizabeth Best, a woman of forbidding
exterior, was finally examined, charged with a
brutal assault.
It appeared that John Farrell, a child only nine
years of age, quarrelled with defendant's child, and
they struck each other, when the defendant coming
coming up seized Farrell and lifted him from the
ground, dashed him upon it with great violence,
and then kicked him.

The mother of the child said that he had been a
great sufferer from defendant's violence, and was
still under medical treatment.
__ _

Defendant excused her brutality by stating that
her little boy had been recently very ill, and had
only just gone out for the benefit of the air, when
he was attacked by the complainant. She then
abused the mother of the child before the magis-
trate in unmeasured terms.
She was committed for a month to hard labour
in the House of Correction.

In accordance with the regulations made by Mr. Com-
missioner Hoiroyd, the gaol delivery of poor debtors from
every prison throughout the United Kingdom commenced
on Tuesday. Tho following aro the results as far as at pre-
sent ascertained. The return made by Mr. Keene, the go-
vernor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, showed that on the Ist
of Nov. there were 42 male and 5 female prisoners in cus-
tody for debt, and on Monday and yesterday Mr. Registrar
Hazlitt discharged IS, amongst whom were the 5 females.
We may, however, mention, that since the Ist inst. 13 have
left the gaol, and of those who still remain several have
themselves petitioned the Insolvent Debtors Court. In
one case the debtor has been imprisoned since the 25th
of July, 1858, and on being brought before the registrar
refused to answer any of the questions put to him. He told.
the registrar that he had no jurisdiction in his case, as
he did not owe any one anything, and therefore he could not
be made a bankrupt. When asked why he remained in the
prison he replied that for reasons of his own he would not
go out, but that he had had his discharge in his pocket since
the 23d March last, and that he should go out when ho
liked. As he refused to answer the questions put to him,
the registrar threatened to report him to the court. Tho
prisoner replied, " That the commissioner could not com-
mit him until ho was made a bankrupt." " Then," said
the registrar, " why do you not ask fer your discharge ?"
The prisoner—" That is my business." In the case of a
woman who had been in custody since June, 18:56, and had
petitioned the Insolvent Court almost immediately after, it
appeared that she had been ordered to do something in con-
nexion with the proceedings, but having failed to comply
with the order remained in prison. The registrar or-
de red her discharge, upon the ground that her detention
was upon a matter in abeyance, and no longer pending
wit' dn the meaning of the act, as it occurred so many years.
ago. At the Queen's Prison Mr. Registrar Higgins heard
seven cases, and discharged one, the others being adjourned
for con, sideration. At Whitecross-street Prison Mr. Regis-
trar Abs .ahall and Mr. Registrar Miller presided. The gaol
lists presonted by Mr. Constable, the deputy-governor,
showed that the total number of debtors in custody on the
Ist inst. was 186.
Mr. Alderman Challis, as chairman of the Gaol Com-
mittee, waited on the registrars, and informed them that
the c mmit.tee were desirous of giving every facility for the
attainment of the object of the proceedings, and with that
view they had resolved to defray any expenses for fees or
otherwise whe re the prisoners themselves were too poor
to meet them. They had also a fund at their disposal out
of which they won ld assist anyone who might be in danger
of being cast destitwte on the world upon receiving his dis-
charge. They wortald, likewise, be happy to render every
assistance to the registrars in dealing with those cases in
which debtors had ohs tinately remained in prison for years,
and might still wish to continue in duress, notwithstanding
the new enactment.

The registrars expressed their thanks to Alderman
Challis, who then withdrew.
In the course of the day Mr. Abrahall went through 28
of the names which stood uppn the list. Of these, since
the Ist of November, 8 had been made bankrupts under the
new Act, 1 had been rera.areded by the Commissioners of the
Insolvent Court, 4 had been discharged by their creditors,
1 had got out on bail, and 1 had paid. Five cases had been
previously adjudicated in the Insolvent Court, and one case
was that of a non-trader, who, not having been two months
in prison, could not be examined. Of the rest 4 were ex-
amined, and having been aLljudicated bankrupts, were re-
leased, and 3 cases were adjourned. Mr. Registrar Miller
went through 10 cases, of which 3 had been discharged by
the Court of Bankruptcy since) the date of the gaoler's re-
turn, and 1 had petitioned the Insolvent Court. One case
was that of an outlaw, who ,was examined, but no order
was made, as Mr. Barclay, the solicitor for the opposing
creditor, alleged that outlawry barred all his civil rights.
The number of those adjudicated bankrupts and released
was 5. Some of the prisoners at first objected to be adju-
dicated bankrupts, but none o f them persisted in their
opposition, as such a course would have simply led to their
transference to Newgato. The grounds on which they
sought to avoid the Bankruptcy Court were generally
alleged negotiations with their cr editors which were likely
to lead to a settlement in the course of a few days. In no
case, however, was the validity of such a plea admitted, and
they were condemned to receive an immediate discharge
from custody, which was not always received with much

apparent gratitude. In most instances, however, the prompt
liberation from confinement was, evidently regarded as a
great boon. The wisdom as well as the humanity of the
determination of the Gaol Committee to afford assistance
to destitute prisoners upon their discharge was shown
in the second case that came before Mr. Registrar Miller.
It was that of a builder, who, though scrupulously clean,
appeared certainly in most woeful dishabille. He had bcen
in prison since the summer of 1858, but ho nevertheless
urgently begged to have the hearing of his case postponed
to some future time, as if he were released he would be
without fit clothes with which to go into the street. The
registrar informed him he had no power to accede to his
request, and handed him his discharge with directions to
take it to the deputy governor. Upon leaving the room
however, ho for some time refused to deliver it, and at last
only gave it up with the greatest reluctance.
