INSOLVENT COURT—(THIS DAY)
THE SPANISH CLAIMS.-IN RE CHAS. WM. KING.
The insolvent in this case described himself as an
agent for the Spanish Government ' • he had also been a
dealer in wine ; and was engaged by several of the un-
fortunate soldiers who served in Spain in the Legion.
The names of nearly two hundred creditors appeared in
his schedule, several of whom claimed for sums not ex-
ceeding one pound or thirty shillings.
It appeared from the evidence of M. Zulueta, and a
number of other witnesses and creditors who appeared to
prove debts, that the insolvent, under the character of an
agent for the Spanish Government, got a number of
" Libranze" from several of those who had claims in
right of military servitude for that Government, which
through the medium of M. Zulucta were negotiated at
Cadiz, Badajos, and other provincial banks in Spain.
It was urged by counsel on behalf of the great body
of the opposing creditors, that the insolvent had been
guilty of the grossest and most heartless fraud upon those
poor people, many of whom were in the greatest distress,
and that ho had received nearly twelve months ago the
greater part of those claims through the instrumentality
of Mr. Zulueta. The creditors had received direct in-
formation through Viscount Canning and the English
Government, that the greater part of the money had
been paid by the Commission for the liquidation of the
claims of the Spanish Legion.
The representatives of several of the claimants ap-
peared in Court, and stated that they had never received
notice of the insolvent's intention to apply for his dis-
charge under the Act, and amongst theta were several
poor women, the wives and mothers of those who served
in Spain, whose demands did not amount to 21.
After a lengthened discussion between the counsel
on each side, the case was ordered to stand adjourned to
Thursday the 9th of January.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Two young men, named Thomas Veal and Henry Tay.
lir, were brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with
assaulting police-constable A 43, while in the execution
of his duty.
The officer stated that the prisoners were making a
noise in Whitehall last night, and when remonstrated
with they refused to desist. He took them into custody,
and then they struck him.
The prisoners had nothing to say in their defence, and
Mr. JARDINE said these assaults must be put a stop
to, and sentenced the prisoners to fourteen days' impri-
sonment each.
Prisoner Veal—Oh, Sir, cannot you make it a fine ?
I have a little money, and I will gladly pay a fine.
Mr. JARDINE—No; I shall not alter my decision.
The prisoners were then locked up.
Shortly afterwards an elderly man applied to the Ma-
gistrate on their behalf. He said that the prisoner
Veal's mother and brother bad died a few days ago, and
were to be buried this very day. He had to take care
of his sister, a little girl, who had no other friend to
depend upon. The funeral had been delayed in conse-
quence of the prisoner's absence, and no one knowing
where he was.
Mr. JARDINE said, that under these circumstances be
would remit the sentence, and take the applicant as bail
for the prisoners' good behaviour. They were then
again brought forward, and severely admonished by the
Magistrate and discharged.
