POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Chickely, a clergyman
of the Established Church, was brought up from
the round-house, at Peckham, by Lewis, the .con-
stable, charged with being intoxicated, and, while in
that condition, using abusive language to the Rev.
C. A. Richardson, the proprietor of an academy at
Peckham.

Lewis stated, that. on Saturday night, betwee❑ 11
and 12 o'clock, the inhabitants of Peckham were
alarmed by cries of murder, proceeding from the
house of the Rev. Mr. Richardson, in that village.
The uproar induced him (Lewis) to go and see what
was the matter, and on his arrival there he saw the
complsinaiit at the front drawing-room, who en-
treated him to enter the house, describing that the
defendant . was drunk, and, that he threatened to
commit personal violence on those Nvho interfered
for the purpose of ejecting him from the house into
which he had intruded himself. Lewis added, that
he obtained admittance into the house, and in the
parlour saw the defendant, who seemed to be in a
very high state of excitement. He stamped,
and cursed a good deal, and appeared to be in a pas 7
sion with the complainant, who forthwith gave him
into custody, on the charge above-mentioned.

The Rev. Mr. Richardson stated, that he admitted
the defendant to reside in his house, in consequence
of his wife living with him (the complainant) in the
capacity of housekeeper. The defendant had re-
sided in the house about-five months, and he (the
complainant) had only latterly ascertained that he
was in the habit of keeping late hours, and getting
drunk. The circumstance of his leading such a dis-
sipated life-was kept a profound secret from all in the
house except his wife, who was .in the habit of let-
ting him in at the unseasonable-hours he kept. The
Rev. complainant then proceeded to describe the cir-
cumstances that led to the rupture between him and
the Rev. defendant. Some time since he, the.com-
plainant, read an account of a clergyman who gave
the name of Ellis being brought up to Union-hall
for drunken 'and riotous behaviour in the street.
Knowing the defendant to have absented himself
from home on the night in question, it immediately
occurred to him that he was the person alluded to
in the report, and that-he had given a fictitious name
in order to guard the exposure that was likely to fol-
low from his conduct. He (complainant), however,
did not notice his suspicions until, upon a very recent
occasion, he also read another report is the news-
papers similar in. substance to the former, stating
that the defendant gave his name Ellis, and describ-
ing that he was a clergyman, and proprietor of a school
at Peckham. When this second report appeared,
he (the complainant) felt convinced the defendant-
was the individual who disgraced himself on these
occasions, and in the course of the day on which
the account appeared, his suspicions were fully con-
firmed by some individuals belonging to Peckham,
who were present when he was taken before the
Magistrates. Upon this confirmation, he (com-
plainant) was determined that the defendant should
not remain longer on his premises, and on Friday
last directed him to quit his house. The defendant
left the house in the course of Friday, and on Satur-
day night complainant having occasion to 'go into
the kitchen, he was surprised on seeing him there ;
and on expressing his astonishment to the -defendant,
the latter broke forth into a passion, and condncted
himself with great violence ; so much so, that he
(complainant) and several of the inmates, his pupils,
were obliged to take refuge in the drawing-room.
The complainant added, that he called aloud for as-
sistance, when Lewis the constable appeared, into
whose custody he gave the defendant.
Mr. HONE (to the defendant)—You were in cus-
tody at this office about a week or ten days ago, if
I am not mistaken, on a cbaige Of being drunk, and
with having assaulted a watchman of St. Saviour's
parish, -for endeavouring to prevail on you to desist
from kicking at a licensed victualler's door-between
eleven and twelve o'clock.
Defendant—l admit that I hare been here before.

Mr. HONE—On the last occasion you were here
you described your name to be and when I
asked you whether you were in orders, you denied
that fact. I ask you now whether you arc a clergy-
man Defendant—l am.a graduate of Oxford and
a clergyman of the established church. .
Mr. HONE—Then you have disgraced the sacred
profession to which you belong. Defendant--Mr.
Richardson has asserted a falsehood with regard to
my having been intoxicated on Saturday night. The
defendant then commenced in a strain of invective
against the moral character of the complainant, al-
leging that that individual had made several attempts
on the chastity of his (defendant's) wife, while she
was in the capacity of his housekeeper.
The complainant repelled the accusation, declaring
that there was not one word of truth in the,astertion.

The defendant repeated, that his wife would verify
what he had alleged.
Mr. HONE put an end to the recrimination between
the parties by observing, that had nothing whatever
to do with the altercation now between them. The
question was, whether the defendant was drunk on
the night in question, and while in that state, whether
he had committed a breach of the peace.
The defendant exclaimed in a loud tone, " I de-
clare to God 1 was not drunk on Saturday night :
all I drank was three half pints of porter."
Mr. nom; (to the complainant).—Can you swear
that the defendant was drunk on that night
Complainant--I cannot take upon myself to swear
that he was drunk, but his language was gross and
abominable in the extreme. .

The defendant again attacked the complainant,
whom he designated a drunkard, and declared that
he had often assisted him to bed of a night, when
he was unable to find his way to his bed-room from
intoxication.

Mr. HONE (to Lewis, the constable)—Can you
stale whether the defendant was drunk when you
took him in charge ? Lewis--I cannot, Sir :he
seemed to be in a passion, but I don't think he was
drunk, although the Rev. Mr. Richardson made the
charge in the manner it is entered in my book.
Mr. HONE—As yet there has been no case alleged
against the defendant that I can deal with. Has he
assaulted any person ?—Complainant replied that he
had not. • .

The defendant declared that he was not drunk;
neither had he assaulted any person. This proceeding
was adopted, he said, to persecute him.
The defendant was then set at liberty.

EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.--One of the
City of Dublin Steam company's packets arrived at Dub-
lin on Friday evening, took on board one hundred head of
cattle, and sailed in the short space of time of 40 minutes !!
Silt PWRECK s.—About four o'clock on Friday
evening last, during a strong 'gale of wind; a brig was
observed off the Bury Holms,' in LTangennith Bay, in a
sinking state, standing in far the shore, and in a few minutes
she went down, and all on board perished ! On Saturday
morning the body of one of the crew was found in a chasm
in the cliff, about 25 fret above the sands, in a naked state,
and it is supposed that be endeavoured to save himself by
swimming, but was driven against the cliff by the violence
of the sea, when nearly high 'water, and left there when the
tide receded. The left leg was broken, and the body other-
wise much bruised. •On Sunday morning, another le,dy
was found on the Sands; and-on Monday inquests,,,were held
on both bodies, before CHARLES COLLINS, Esq. Coroner,
and verdicts of " Found Drowned ' were recorded..--

ELOPEMENT.—An event of this kind has
which has plunged an
honourable and worthy individual into a state of the deepest
distress. On Tuesday last, Mrs. W., wife of T. W Esq.,
a gentleman of great respectability and iiirtune, and a Ma.
gietrate, in the temporary absence of her husband, who was
engaged in El's public ditties at our county sessions, eloped
from their residence at Cheltenham, in a carriage-and-four,
accompanied by Mr. 8., a friend of Mr. W.'s, • and who
took this method of requiting 'a long-continued series of
hospitable attention ! The agony of the injured husband
may be better conceived than described, especially as, dur-
ing an union of fifteen years' duration, the most devoted
attachment on his part seemed to be reciprocally felt on that
of his wire. The connexions of the gallant are resident in
London.— Gloucester Journal.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, OCI. ?O

.-F•A RIP; VLSEIS AND offIE11:>, IN It E: JOS NKR AND

OTHERS.

This case came on for hearing on Friday last,
The Court was occupied throughout that day, the
succeeding one, acid nearly the whole of yesterday;
in the arguments of Counsel. It was a petition
from some creditors of the Romford Bank (the firm
of Joyner and Co.), praying the removal of the pre-
sent assignees, and an inquiry into their conduct
during the period Of their tnanagemcnt of the bank-
upts' estate.

The petitioner; alleged—and this is one of the
most material allegations—that after a verdict for
3,0001. had been obtained, by the assignees of the
bankrupts, against Mr.'John Eaton Joyner, one of
the partners in the banking establishment, for a debt
due to the joint estate, that afterwards they com-
promised that debt, agreeing to take in lieu thereof
the sum of one thortsand pounds, and the rever-
sion of eight hundred pounds;' all this was done, it
was said, without the consent of the greet botl3,of
creditors. Another allegation contained in thepetition
was, that the assignees had compromised in a
similar manner a debt due from the estate of Messrs.
Park and Howard, London.. The amount of the
debt in question was 3,800/., for which, it was al-
leged, a smaller sum was taken. Other acts of the
assignees, the petitioners - alleged, injurious to the
creditors of the bankrupts, had been done by them.
One was, that debts due from the separate estate of
one of the bankrupts, to the joint estate of the
banking concern, had not been collected. ,Another
allegation stated, that a relation of one of the bank-
rupts, named Turner, had received a sum of 600/.,
the fell amount of his demand, whilst other credi-
tors had nut received their dividends, it was like-
wise alleged by the petitioners that the furniture
and plate belonging to one of the bankrupts had
been voted to him by a small minority of creditors,
the amount 'of whose united claims being only
18,0001.; the whole amount of the debts owing by
the bankrupts-being upwards of 80,0001. The peti-
tioners also alleged that, on the very eve of bank-
ruptcy, 600/. was settled on the wife of one of the
bankers ; that 3691. was given the bankrupts after
the issuing of the commission ; and that between
3001. and 400/. had been improperly advanced to
the solicitors engaged in the proceedings.
The Learned Counsel who appeared for the peti-
tioners contended that the assignees had acted,
throughout their proceedings, in defiance of the Act
of Parliament under which they possessed their au-
thority; and that, although they might be actuated
by the most honourable conduct, nevertheless, as it
was a violation of the Sratu!e, they were account-
able for their misconduct, and that the prayers of
the petitioners must be acceded to as a matter of
course.

It was admitted by the leading Counsel (Mr.
BICKERSTETII) for the assignees, that his clients
had not been sufficiently guarded in their manage -
ment, nor had they attended so strictly to the tech-
nicalities of the Statute as they, perhaps, ought :
bnt they had been actuated by the most honourable
motives, and had discharged their trust with the
utmost integrity, and to the best of their judgment.
for the ultimate benefit of the creditors.
Mr. JACOB followed on the same side. After
.which

Mr. SUGDE replied.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR should like to know
what property remained belonging to the bankrupts'
estate—seeing the dividendS already paid amount-
ed AO fifteen shillings in the pound, before he
pronounced judgment. In the mean time he would
take the papers home with him, and in a short time.
would intimate on what day he should deliver judg-
ment.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OcT. 20.
BREACH OF CONTRACT.
ORCHARD V. HORNER,

This was an action brought to recover compensa-
tion in damages for a breach of contract.
Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. CuttwooD)
stated that the plaintiff and his wife had been in the
service of a Dr. Mealtrfor two years, and had given
great satisfaction. In December, last year, the de-
fendant, who is the proprietor of the Coliseum, in
the Regent's Park, applied to Dr. Heald for the
character of the plaintiff and his wife, as he wished
to take them into his service. Dr. Heald gave them
the good character they deserved, and the defendant
engaged them immediately for a year, at the rate of
40/. wages for that period; and in the same month of
December last they entered defendant's service : the
husband as groom, and, the wife as keeper of the
lodge. On the 9th of February following, the de-
fendant, without a moment's warning, ordered them
to quit his
s service, turdoffered them
tor
the time they had
service. a about 161.
plain-
tiff,
'
however, insisted that as he was thus dismissed
scll
been his
at a moment's warning, without any misconduct on
his part, he was entitled to at least an additional
quarter's wages. This the defendant refused to pay,
and therefore it became necessary to bring this
action), and he considered it as clear that the plain-
tiff was at least entitled to an additional month's
wages, and he hoped his Lordship and the Jury
would be of opinion that he was still entitled - to
three months' wages, especially as no misconduct
was alleged, and the dismissal appeared to be •a
whim of the defendant.

No direct proof of the contract was given.
Plaintiff nonsuited.
COAL TRADE.
CAIPEL V. TIM/at:TON.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a
coal-merchant, against Mrs. Thornton, a lady resi-
ding in the vicinity of the Regent's Park, for the
price of two several quantities of coals, amounting
to 181. each, supplied to her by the plaintiff.
Plaintiff nonsuited.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Our. '2O.

THE KING V. NORTHOUSE AND ANOTHER.

Mr DUNS, the Counsel for the defendant North-
ouse, moved the Court to postpone this case to the
adjournment day, on the ground of the absence of a
material and necessary witness, who was Joseph
Hume, Esq., M.P. it was an indictment preferred
by a Mr. Baldwin 'against the defendante for a con-
spiracy to obtain money Under false preteriees--
namely, by inducing the prosecutor to sub-
scribe to a newspaper, called the London Frce
Press, on the strength of their representations that
Mr. Hume and Colonel Jones, late of the Guards,
were each proprietors of .5001. shares in the Free
Press, and that Mr. Hume also had. an additional
share of 1001. in the name of Mr. Miller, the secre-
tary. The Learned Counsel produced an affidavit,
stating that repeated inquiries had been made at the
house of Mr. Hume, and that the defendants had
been unable to serve him with a subpeena, being in-
formed he was out of town.

Mr. PHILLIPS was concerned for the prosecutor,
and did not feel it would be fair to oppose the mo-
tion.
The CHAIRMAN hoped there was no collusion.--
He did not like to see the prosecutor so ready to
accommodate the defendant.
Mr. PHILLIPS must go still further than to afford
an accommodation; for the truth was, that
Hume was a necessary witness'fot the prosecution.
Mr. ALLEY was engaged for the second de-
fendant, and lie resisted the motion peremptorily.
Mr. DUNN was conscious that no verdict could
be obtained against his chant in, the absence of Mr.
Htim:.ish to escape;bu Ait r.Noinrtitiohuatse, as a gentleman, did
not way.
His
obi
eet was
to obtain an honourable acquittal on fnll investi-
gation.
After some further discussion, the Chairman con-
sented to postpone the case to thinpxt Sessions.

ALLEGED MURDER IN THE COUtal
KILDARE.

DUBLIN, ;*_svi-tittmv.—A most mysteriotn. C
entrence took place on Wednesday eveningiast, !'•
Newbridge, near the town of Naas, county Kildiet.'
A very respectable fanner, named Coffey, npir
of 70 years of age, was found dead in his bed, Wit,
apparent marks of violence on the side of his,liec.
lie had been, on the preceding evening, at dinner
a friend's house in the neighbourhood, and had ft'
turned home about eight o'clock that night, It 16
remarked, that though he had indulged a little in the •
pleasures of the table, he was by no means
briated ; but was, on the contrary, quite eollecteu!'
and in full possession of his faculties. When the
report of his dean b spread abroad, some allsPiewl
was excited as to its cause, in conseqnence of,
cumstainces which had occurred in his family:dell
the last few months. 'I he deceased, about 21 yeir'
ago, had married, the widow of a Mr. M`Loghlo
who had left several children by. her. Towne

the wife of Coffey had a marked partiality for
son, she evinced considerable interest in his favor,
in the disputes which occurred. A question regal
ing some pecuniary matter between Coffey and
son, Charles M'Loghlin, was referred to arbitratOr
Major Tandy was appointed as umpire. The 11
mate decision was unfavourable to the claims
young M'Loglilin. This is all that is known
specting the differences between them, and it is
just to add that the character of Mr.. Charl,:
M'Loghlin, whilst a resident in Dublin, stood 144
and was quite at variance with the piobabill.lt,
that he would be guilty of any dishonourabl;
not to say atrocious deed. He had been engage,'
some five years since, in an affair of heal
with a well•known gentleman of the name
O'Meara, on which occasion he was severe',
wounded in the groin. • His gentlemanly
meanour and rectitude of principle in that agl,
obtained for him the sympathy and respect
every one acquainted with the transaction. Notice
of the death of Coffey, and the circumstances
tending it, were forthwith transmitted to one of the
Ceroners for the county of Kildare; but the bl
remained two entire days before an inquest was he'
upon it. At length the Coroner arrived, and II:
investigation was commenced. In the mean 6°3:
every individual who had been resident in the hangs:
Coffey's wife;his step-son, his relations' and servant'
were all taken into custody, and transmitted tf
Naas gaol. In accounting for the death of Mr. GO':
fry, the people resident in the house allege, tilt
having become sick in the course of the night,
must have fallen out of the bed upon his.head, an
that the injury on the neck was occasioned by
contusion from the fall.

A surgeon, who examined the body, :gave it 8:4
his opinion that the wound resembles one inflict.
by the blow of a hatchet, or some such sliagfolv
strument.
These are the authentic particulars, so far P 6
~„
could collect them, respecting this transaction. 1
rious rumours are afloat as to the result of the Or
miler's inquest. It is stated, that last night a /er,
diet of " Wilful Murder" was found by the Prf
;T•aitist the prisoner Charles M'Logblin, .and
mother Mrs. Coffey. In my next I.shail Send
the verdict, and whatever other. facts can
