LAW AND POLICE.
In the Court of Bankruptcy, G. D. Clark appeared on
his adjourned last examination, having been in business
as an agent for patents, and connected with a paper
called the Inventor's Advocate. It appeared his debts
and liabilities amount to nearly 20,0001., while the assets
at present received are scarcely sufficient to pay 3d. or
4d. in the pound. He had been adjourned sine die, in
consequence of the unsatisfactory state of his balance-
sheet, particularly as connected with his affairs in
Brussels. The same objection was made ; and, after a
long discussion, he was once more remanded sine die, his
accounts being as barren as ever of the explanations
which the assignees require relative to that business.
In the Insolvent Court Charles Neall, alias Hall,
formerly of Southampton, and who had been a bankrupt
at Epping, and took the benefit of the Act in 1837, was
remanded from the vesting order for twelve months, for
contracting debts without reasonable expectations of
payment, with some of the opposing creditors, and with
others in a fraudulent manner.
William Horsford was brought up at Marylebone, in
custody, charged with having committed a most brutal
assault upon Alfred, his son, by striking him upon the
head with a shovel. The particulars, which transpired
on the 15th instant, have already appeared, and it will
be remembered that the sufferer was, after the infliction
of the wounds, conveyed to the University College Hos-
pital. Evidence was given that he could not yet be con-
sidered out of danger, and the prisoner was further re-
manded until the 30th inst.
, A powerful Irishman, named Michael Meaney, alias
Linkey Meaney, who has been in frequent broils, was
charged at the Thames-office, before Mr. Broderip, with
committing a brutal assault on a young woman, servant
to Mr. Lawson, of the Hoop and Grapes, High-street,
Shadwell. The Magistrate, after severely commenting
on the cowardly and brutal conduct of the prisoner,
fined him Si., and in default of payment, committed him
to the House of Correction for two months.
