Two other constables were called in, on whom the
prisoner made a most violent attack.
Mr. Shaw, the publican, stated that the prisoner
broke up his wife's apple-stall to fight with the police.
Mr. NORTON said he never heard of a more out-
rageous case, and sending him to prison for one
month was quite an inadequate punishment.
The wife of the prisoner informed the magistrate
that he used her in the most cruel manner, and
turned her out of doors, and said that, " work or play,"
he was determined that she should keep him. He
had already been five times in prison.
Mr. NORTON said he was more a brute than a man,
and should go to prison for one month, and fineL bail
for three months, and give 24 hours' notice of bail.
Mr. oRTON ordered the poor woman 20s. for the
damage done to her stall.
SOUTHWARK.
John Neal was charged with stealing a quantity of
hair rope, the property of Mr. Wilcoxson, of Monu-
ment-yard, and a woman named Nicholson was
charged as the receiver.
The prisoner Neal was stopped a few mornings ago
leaving the shop of his fellow-prisoner, after deliver-
ing a bag, which was subsequently found to contain
a quantity of hair rope. Neal, on being taken into cus-
tody, said the bag and its contents was intrusted to
him to carry to the other prisoner's shop. This as-
sertion, however, being doubted, the prisoners were
remanded, and since then it was ascertained he was
occasionally employed by Mr. Wilcoxson, an extensive
hair-manufacturer, from whose premises he had taken
it and carried it over to the other prisoner's shop, in
order to sell it.- -The prisoners were remanded.
THAMES POLICE.
George Hawking, a reputed thief, was brought up
on remand, and Henry John Crawcour, a surgeon,
said to be in an extensive practice in Old Gravel-lane,
surrendered to answer to a charge of having burgle-
riously entered the house No. 6, attached to the East
Middlesex Society's School, Cannon-street-road, St.
George's-in-the-East, and stolen therefrom a time-
piece, three silver spoons and some Britannia metal
spoons, together with other articles, the property of
James Starke, the master of the school.
From the position of one of the parties accused,
and the apparent improbability that he could render
himself amenable to such a charge, or be in any way
connected with such an associate as Hawkins, the
case excited great interest, and the Court was crowded.
Mr. Lewis appeared for Crawcour. The prisoner
Hawkins was undefended.
Though the particulars of the case, all of which
came out in the first examination, appeared fully in
our publication of Monday, it will be necessary, to
render the proceedings of Thursday intelligible, to
briefly recapitulate the circumstances of the case.
The complainant left his house at about six o'clock
on Sunday week, when all was safe, locking the front
door after him. On his return home he found it had
been entered by means of skeleton keys, which opened
the external lock as well as the locks of the inner
rooms. Several boxes and closets had been forced,
and the greater part of the contents were strewn about
the apartments. On a further search it was found
that a timepiece, three silver spoons, some Bri-
tannia metal spoons, and various other articles, had
been abstracted from the premises by the burglars. In
consequence of information given to two constables of
the H division the prisoners were arrested—Hawkins
in Whitechapel, and Crawcour in a house of ill fame,
No. 6, Salter-place, Cannon-street-road, when they
were brought before Mr. Ballantine, on Saturday
The only evidence to connect either of the pri-
soners with the burglary was that of a lad named
Edward Cummins, who swore positively that at eight
o'clock on the evening of the preceding Sunday,
whilst standing in Cannon-street, almost directly op-
posite the school-house, he saw two persons, one of
whom was Hawkins, come out of complainant's house,
whilst Crawcour lighted them with a candle to the
door, and in about two minutes afterwards followed
them down William-street.
The first witness called was police-constable 12611,
by whom Crawcour was arrested. He stated that he
had discovered no traces of the stolen property, and
was therefore not able to carry the case any further than
on the previous examination. He had, however, made
inquiries into the character of the lad Cummins, on
whose evidence the charge entirely depended, and all
the answers were in favour of his honesty. One of
Cummins's former employers, named Allen, dis-
charged him for sauciness, but did not accuse him of
being a liar.
Cummins was then called—Though subjected to a
long and severe cross-examination by Mr. Lewis,
he persisted steadily in his previous statement ;
nothing was elicited to affect his character more than
that he had been dismissed for sauciness by Mrs.
Allen, and from her employment at the Cannon-street
toll-gate, because on one occasion he had stayed up
all night with the toll-taker at Stepney-gate. Some
additional evidence, however, was elicited from
his further cross-examination, which will be of
great importance to the prisoners. He slight
that, previously to his seeing Crawcour light
the two parties out of complainant's house, he was
standing against a lamp-post at the corner of Chap-
man-street and Cannon-street, talking to a nut boy.
On seeing the goings on at the house, he said to the
nut boy, "There's something wrong there ;" onwhich
the latter replied, " Don't talk to me like that," and,
taking up his nuts, went away. There were not many
people passing at the time, and witness could not be
mistaken as to the identity of the prisoners, as he had
seen each of them several times, and on one or two
occasions he had seen them in company with each
other.
Police-constable 11 126 was then called, and in
answer to the question as to whether the house in
which Crawcour was found was a brothel, said, he
called upon the landlady, who told him the house had
been taken by a stout young woman for a new mar-
ried couple. He visited the place after the arrest of
the prisoner, when he saw two young women there,
and shorty afterwards he saw them and a young
gentleman sitting by the fire.
A host of the prisoner's friends presented themselves
to speak in his behalf, and assured the Magistrate that
it was absurd to suppose he would have committed
such a crime as that with which he was charged. It
was also stated that it would be impossible for a per-
son standing as the witness represented himself to
have done, could see what was passing at the com-
plainant's door.
Mr. BALLANTINE said that he felt deeply for the
position of the prisoner and his friends, but there was
nothing in the case to take it out of the class of simi-
lar ones which were frequently before him, except
the respectability of the parties implicated. Ile felt
it his duty to send the case for trial ; but as the high
character given to the young man Crawcour created
a doubt, which however it would be the province of a
jury to solve, he would take bail for his appearance
to answer the charge.
The previous bail to the same amount was then re-
ceived for Crawcour, and Hawkins was committed to
Newgate.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 24.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUB.)
TEIB TALACRIS MINING COMPANY—THE DIRECTORS
LIABLE TO THE BANKRUPT LAWS.—IN RR JOHN
DAVIES, AN INSOLVENT.
This insolvent came up to-day for his final order,
which had been adjourned on one or two former oc-
casions. He was one of the Directors of the Talacre
Coal and Iron Company, which it was said now owed
the sum of 30,000/. The insolvent held a consider-
able number of paid-up shares. He had also been
connected with the West Cork Mining Company, the
St. George's Harbour Company, and ether similar
speculations.
He was supported by Mr. Sturgeon, and opposed
b 7 Mr. H. S. Wilde, upon the ground that the
lalacre Company was a trading Company, to prove
which several books, reports, and other papers were put
in. It appeared that the Talacre Company had a
stone quarry at Talacre, in North Wales, and
it was shown that they had manufactured the stone
into various forms, such as polished flags, tooled flags,
sink stones, Sce. Different descriptions of masonry
articles were also supplied to build a church at Llan-
roost, and to Lord Crewe, and various other persons.
Several cases were selected from the books and papers
produced, upon which the insolvent was examined,
but he denied all knowledge of the manufactry of the
stones for the purposes above-named having been
carried on.
Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUR, in giving judg-
ment, said that the question for his decision was en-
tirely one of trading—were the parties in question the
Directors of the Talacre Company—vvere:they quarry-
men, or stonemasons ? It did not follow because a
freeholder iiiapted articles which he raised from the
bowels of the earth for conveyance from place
to place, that he should necessarily become a
trader. A landlord might fell his timber
and square it for sale, without subjecting him-
self to the bankrupt laws, and the quarryman
might split his stone into flags without being a
mason ; but, if more workmanship and skill were
bestowed upon it for the purpose of making it more
marketable, and by which a higher price was obtained,
the parties were traders. lie had before him a book
which proved the sale of stones of several shapes to
different persons, and at various prices, and it was
ci:ar to his mind that the Company would have sold
to airy body sent to purchase, and that the articles
whioh they made were not, as it had been attempted
to be shown, made merely as specimens. The item
which occurred most frequently was "flags," of
which there were three descriptions, polished, tooled,
and rough flags, the prices being regulated by the
workmanship. There were also landings, grave-
stones, copings, and sink-stones; in short, every de-
scription of masonry used for building purposes. It
was impossible that such articles could have been
manufactured without the knowledge of the Directors
of the Company, Lusa it was therefore a trading com-
pany, ,and the insolvent, being a partner was a
trader. Ilis petition must therefore be dismissed.

stances :
The maid- servant, Elizabeth Riley, deposed, that
on the previous night, between ten and eleven o'clock,
during her master's absence from home, the prisoner
demanded to be paid his wages immediately, as he
intended to leave, when Mr. Allen, jun., desired him
to make application for his money to Mr. Allen on
the next morning. He then became exceedingly
violent and noisy, and going into the kitchen seized
hold of a large poker with which he broke the door
to pieces. He next smashed to atoms a complete
(limier, dessert, and tea-service in the kitchen and
pantry, and then made his way up stairs into the
surgery and dining-room, in both of which apart-
ments, as also in the passage, he demolished with the
poker the framework and glass in two or three of the
windows, and a valuable lamp ; there were two police-
men in the house, but they for some time seemed
afraid to interfere.
Inquiry was made by the magistrate as to the
amount of damage ; it was estimated at not less than

Stevens, 222 S, said, that he was called in, and on
approaching the kitchen the prisoner rushed at him
with a large poker, swearing that he would beat out
his (witness's) brains, at the same time aiming a tre-
mendous blow at his head, which fortunately missed
him, and by the force with which he (prisoner) struck,
the door was shattered. Witness added, that as soon
as he was able, he and his brother officer secured the
prisoner in the passage, and after considerable resist-
ance conveyed him to the station-house.
Mr. LONG (to the prisoner)—Hava you anything
to say for yourself ?—Prisoner (sullenly)—Nothing.
Mr. LONG observed, that he could not deal with the
prisoner for the damage, the amount thereof putting
that part of the case entirely out of his jurisdiction.
He should, however, inflict a penalty of 40s. for the
assault, and in default of payment one month's im-
prisonment.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.

This insolvent, who was a man well known upon
All the race-courses throughout the kingdom and in
all sporting circles, applied to be liberated upon sure-
ties until the day appointed for his hearing.
On the bail being called on, no creditor appearing
to oppose, the Learned Chief Commissioner ex-
amined the insolvent at considerable length respecting
a debt inserted in the schedule as due to Mr. Cooke,
the banker, of 15, Bedford-street, Covent-garden, who
had obtained possession of all his furniture, but per-
mitted him the use of it upon payment of 21. per
week.---1-1, (the insolvent) said he was of no trade or
profession, bn,l* that he occasionally acted as agent for
discounting bills of excbange, that is to say, if any
party came to him an. 3 wanted an advance of money
he obtained it for them. Be was at present 33 years
of age, and began to specuiee in horse-racing in
1832. His profits from those ::peculatioßs varied
from 1001. to 3501. per annum. He had petitioned
the Bankruptcy Court last year, and his petition was
dismissed in consequence of his not appearing. He
had hoped at that time to be able to settle his debts
from a sum of money which he expected to receive
from the result of the trial respecting the late Epsom
Derby. He expected upwards of 7,0001. from that

On Thursday James Shirley, alias Thompson, alias
Chambers, a smartly-dressed, shrewd- looking young
man, was brought up for final examination, charged
with numerous robberies at the houses of professional
gentlemen, also with a burglary at the house of Mr.
Rogers, a gentleman residing in Bedford-square.
Sergeant Dodd, 9 E, who had charge of the case,
produced in court as many books as would furnish a
small circulating library of every description—Court
Guides, novels, and French and German works ; also
a variety of notes tastefully written. These were the
instruments with which the prisoner worked in a way
novel and successful, and practised to a very great
extent. Frequent communications had been made
to the police-stations of the frauds, and the pri-
soner's person accurately described, but he was
not apprehended until Friday, the 10th instant.
The evidence given was very voluminous, but as it
was of the same character in nearly all the cases, it
will be sufficient to ,mention the modus operandi. He
went to the house, rang the bell, and when the door
was opened, handed a parcel of books to the servant,
and a note, saying they were for the cook. The note
ran thus :—" 20, Charles-street. Dear Sister,—
With this note I send you books that you have long
desired to peruse, and I think they will repay you
with profit tenfold for your trouble. James has gone
to Southampton, and he told me to say that he could
not possibly call on you before he started. Call as
early as you can make it convenient. Eliza wishes
to see you very much. She tells me that you have
not called on her for a month past. Meanwhile, I
am your affectionate brother, J. D. Chambers."
With letters of this nature he robbed the residence
of Mr. C. Griffiths, of No. 21, Bedford-place, of a
Spanish cloak, the property of Archdeacon Marriott,
of Sydney, who was on a visit to Mr. Griffiths ; the
house of Mr. Geo. Faulkner, No. 1, Bedford-row,of a
weatherglass ; the house of Mr. Barrow, of 29,
Bloomsbury-square ; two houses in Albion-place,
Blackfriars, of wearing apparel ; and about half-a.
dozen other gentlemen's houses in various parts of the
metropolis, amongst others, Mr. P. Samuels, of No. 1,
Bedford-place, of a great coat. The burglary was
committed at the house of Mr. Rogers, where the
prisoner stole a beaver coat, value M. On the night
of the 10th instant the prisoner knocked at the door
of Mr. Gregory, a solicitor, residing in Bedford-row,
but the cook no sooner saw the parcel than she knew
what it meant, gave the alarm, and he was secured.
The prisoner, who refused to give any satisfactory
account of himself, was committed for trial.
LAMBETH.
John Connell was charged with being drunk and
disorderly, and assaulting three policemen, in the ex-
erciseof their duty.
Police-constable, L 109, stated that he was sent
for last night, to the Tower public-house, in
Westminster-road to quell a disturbance, when he
found the prisoner brandishing a weapon in his hand.
He aimed a dreadful blow at- the head of the con-
stable, which he fortunately avoided. He closed with
the prisoner, and they both fell together, and when
they were on the ground the prisoner kicked the con-
stable severely, and struck at him several times.

WORSHIP-STREET.
COMMISSIONERS OF PAVIIMENTS V. THII COMMIS
SIONERS OF EXCISR—Mr. Bingham, the sitting ma
gistrate, was occupied a considerable time with the
hearing of a summons, at the instance of the Com-
missioners of Pavements in the Whitechapel district,
who complained of the Excise authorities, for break-
ing up and leaving exposed for a length of time a
great extent of the public way, without the consent
of the Paving Board, and to the great inconvenience
of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood.
Mr. Ballantine attended as counsel for the Com-
missioners of Pavements; and Mr. Carr, the newly-
appointed Solicitor of Excise, for the defence.
From the evidence given it appeared that the Ex-
cise officers had for a long time suspected that the re-
venue was defrauded by illicit proceedings, at the
distillery of Messrs. Smith and Co., near Whitechapel,
and at length found that it was effected by a secret
communication between the distillery and a rectify-
ing house adjacent. The Excise Commissioners
issued orders to trace the course of the pipes in and
about the premises, and under the immediate direction
of the surveyor-general the pavement in the yard of
the distillery, to the gates, and thence through Bucks-
row and North-street, was taken up, to the extent of
several hundred square yards, laying bare the pipes
of the East London Waterworks and others, until at
last a private pipe was discovered, leading from Messrs.
Smiths' store cellar to the rectifying house. In con-
sequence of this discovery the whole of the work at
the distillery has been suspended for several months
past, a great number of men thrown out of employ,
and proceedings for the recovery of very heavy
penalties commenced in the Court of Exchequer
against Messrs. Smith and Co. The breaking-
up of the public pavement by the Excise had
taken place without application to any other au-
thority, and Mr. Jennings, clerk to the Commis-
sioners of Paving, now proved that he had waited
upon Mr. Carr, the Excise solicitor, to point out to
him that it was illegal and ought not to have been done
without the consent of the Paving Board. On the
part of the Excise officers, it was contended that the
revenue laws gave them full powers to pursue their
search in such cases. The pavement bad been re-
placed, and an offer was made to pay all attendant
expenses, but it was alleged that a penalty had been
incurred by the irregularity of the proceedings, and
that the surrounding inhabitants had sustained great
inconvenience by them during a lengthened period,
and ought to receive compensation.
Mr. Carr observed that there were matters con-
nected with this which could not be fully entered
upon at present, without prejudice to the action in
the Court of Exchequer, which would be tried on the
6th of next month, and he suggested the postponement
of this question till the action
on
had been decided.
The Magistrate, therefore, postponed his decision.

The stock in trade in his house amounted to 6001.

and was per-
fectly unencumbered.
The COURT accepted the bail, and the recognisances
being entered into, the insolvent was liberated until
the day of hearing.
The schedule filed by the insolvent exhibits an
aggregate amonnt of debts of 9,7121. 14s. 2d., of
which 1,1691. 7s. 6d. were deducted as those for
which no consideration had been received, and an-
other amount of 4,4261. twice entered, leaving the
net amount of debts owing by him of 4,1171. 6s. Bd.
The only property available for the creditors was a
dishonoured bill of exchange of 1201., accepted by
Lord William Paget. He ascribed his insolvency to
his expenditure exceeding. his income, and his losses
upon racing speculations.
.The case appeared to excite considerable attention
in g very crowded court, where we noticed several
well-knQwn " turf characters."
