IN THE MATTER OF PETER CLARY.

The insolvent, who applied for his final order, was
opposed by Mr. Sturgeon on behalf of a creditor, Mr.
Bean, for the amount of 241. 10s.

The Learned COUNSEL said he was instructed to op-
pose the insolvent, on the ground that the debt with Mr.
Bean had been contracted under a misrepresentation. As
the better mode of testing the case, he would at once
question the insolvent. •
Mr. HORRY objected that, by the spirit of the Act, the
insolvent was not to be subjected to a second examination
without the creditor first showing cause why he should
lee so. It was to be inferred that he bad satisfied his
Honour and the creditors at his first examination.

The objection was overruled by the Learned Com-
missioner, and the insolvent was examined. He had
been a French-polisher, but as by the operation of the
ii come-tax families had been obliged to retrench their
expenses he was in consequence thrown out of employ-
ment. Under these circumstances he commenced silk-
weaving, and was recommended to the opposing creditor
for the raw material. He dealt with him some time,
paying various sums from week to week, until at last, in
consequence of a lot of goods proving unsaleable, he was
obliged to stop payment. lie denied that he had repre-
sented to Mr. Bean that be held leases of certain pro-
perties, or was in possession of valuable pictures.—The
final order was granted.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL and Common
Juries.)
CORDER V. CAMPBELL AND WIFE.
Mr. Baldwin appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Charnock
for the defendants.

This was an action to recover the sum of 121. 15s. for
work and labour done under the following circumstances:
—The plaintiff is a portrait painter, residing and car-
rying on his profession at No. 7, Queen's-row, Pimlico.
The defendant is a publican, carying on business at the
Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. In the summer
of 1843 the wife of the defendant, then Mrs. Gould, a
widow, and then the proprietress of the Old Swan,
Chelsea, employed the plaintiff to paint her own portrait,
her daughters, and that of her late husband, which he
was to enlarge from a small miniature portrait of him in
her possession. The work, it appeared, was performed
in workmanlike manner, with the exception of the por-
trait of the lady, which she stated was " too fat," and
that she " wanted to be made a little thinner." The
defence was that Mrs. Gould was not married to her
present husband (the defendant) after the commence-
ment of the action, and not until after the portraits were
finished and in her possession. After considerable dis-
cussion, the Learned Under-Sheriff suggested that a
verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, with liberty
to enter a nonsuit. The parties, having consulted, a
verdict was entered acccordingly.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Charles Wilson, a well-dressed young man, was
charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a gold
watch, value 351., the property of Mr. Morton, of
Southampton-street, Strand.
The complainant stated, that on the preceding evening
he went to the Surrey Theatre, and while waiting at the
pit entrance, there being a crowd of persons there at the
time, he noticed the prisoner standing by his side. After
a little time the prisoner asked him what o'clock it was,
and he (complainant) pulled his watch out of his waist-
coat pocket and told him. When he returned the
watch to his pocket he felt a snap, and immediately
missed the watch, which was attached to a gold
chain round his neck, and he missed the prisoner from
his side, and went after him, and found him walking de-
liberately away. The complainant added that he ob-
served the prisoner talking in a low tone of voice to
some other persons near him at the time of the robbery,
and he gave him into custody.
When the prisoner was questioned, he said that he
was a tailor at Woolwich, and came up to go to the
Surrey Theatre ; that he stood near Mr. Morton at the
pit entrance, and finding the place was so crowded he
(the prisoner) walked out, with the intention of going to
the Victoria Theatre, and that he did not leave as
alleged to escape detection, for he had done nothing that
he was afraid of. _ _

Mr. COTTINGHAM said that a serious robbery bad been
committed, and that it was his duty to remand the pri-
soner until further inquiries were made on the subject.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Mr. David Gallico, an interpreter of foreign lan •
guages, made application to Mr. Hardwick, the presid-
ing Magistrate, stating that a most determined attempt
had been made to assasinate a Mr. Charles Victor, a
French artist, residing at No. 46, Ring-street, Soho-
square, who had been stabbed in six places in the public
street, and was now at home in a state of great suffering,
and his life in danger. Mr. Gallico then went on to state
that between ten and eleven o'clock on Tuesday night
last a slight quarrel ensued in the coffee-room of the
Prince Albert Tavern, in Lisle-street, Leicester-square,
between Mr. Victor and a Pole, a professor
of languages. Mr. Victor shortly afterwards left the
tavern with his antagonist, and on getting into the street
the altercation between them was renewed, and me-
nacing gestures with the fist were made use of by both
parties. The Pole was then observed to draw a knife
out of his coat pocket and stab Air. Victor on the left
side of the head, the point of the blade striking against
the skull bone with great force. Mr. Victor defended
himself as well as he was able, but in the Ecuffle that en-
sued he received a cut transversely across the right eye,
and two stabs of considerable depth on the left cheek. His
assailant then broke away from him and made his escape,
Police-constable Thomas Middleton, No. 189 of the C
division, came up at the instant and rendered Mr. Vic-
tor, whose clothing was completely saturated with his
blood, every assistance in his power. On unloosening
his vest, he was found to have received two more stabs
(the most dangerous of his wounds) in the chest. Sur-
gical aid was instantly procured, and eventually Mr.
Victor was removed to his residence.

Mr. liAanwicx directed Gibbett, one of the police-
constables attached to the Court, to immediately inves-
tigate the matter.

MISS PEEL.—The accounts received in town this
morning relative to the health of this young lady
.are
more favourable. Sir Charles Clark, the medical
attendant, left Drayton Manor yesterday, the danger
to Miss Peel having abated, and the symptoms gene-
rally being improved. The inquiries at Sir R. reel's
private residence to-day were very numerous.

APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—We
understand, from the best authority, that the Hon. Mrs.
Craven, the lovely and accomplished neice to the late
Mrs. Fitzherbert, is very shortly to be led to the
hymeneal altar by the Marquis de la Force, grandson to
the Duke de la Force, and heir to his large property and
ancient title. The family is nearly allied to the house
of Orleans, and bears one of the most ancient as well as
historical names of France. The marriage is to teke
place in Paris, during the course of the present month.—
Post.

DEATH.—The Venerable Archdeacon Bathurst, we
regret to hear, expired last night, about ei‘n,
at No. 11, Promenade 'Villa., at a very advanewd age.

declining state of health, and arrived here about a fort-
night since.—.Cheltenham Examiner.
