a course of lectures on the nature and operation of trial

the public, as it looks like the announcement of an in-

Rhenish provinces.'

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EveNs.)
IN RE JOSHUA SMITH.

The insolvent, a schoolmaster, late of Norwood, now
of 15, Blissett-street, Greenwich, applied to-day for his
interim order, but was opposed by Mr. Duffield, a cre-
ditor for 2251., on the ground of his having furnished an
incorrect schedule.

The creditor having made his statement relative to his
own debt,
Mr. Commissioner EVANS said he should defer the
matter to a future day. Had Mr. Duffield any further
objection at that time ? Mr. Duffield said there was one
circumstance which be felt bound to mention to his
Honour. The insolvent to his (Mr. Duffield's) certain
knowledge had borrowed a sum of 70/. from a poor
woman, without her husband's sanction, and that sum
was not placed in the schedule.
Mr. Commissioner ETANS (to the petitioner)—Is the
fact so? Did you borrow 701. from this woman? I did,
your Honour.
Mr. Commissioner EvANs—How comes it that you
have not mentioned it among your other debts? Because
she forgave it me.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Was her husband aware
of it? No; it was her own private property.
Mr. Commissioner EvaNs—A married woman has no
private property. The sum must be added.
The insolvent's solicitor was going to speak; but
Mr. Commissioner EVANS said he would hear no more.
Here was an insolvent in an amount of 3,4391. without
an available shilling to pay his creditors, and the very
least he could do under the circumstances was to let them
have a correct statement. Ile should defer the petition
until such was given to the Court.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
James Newman, a private in the 2d battalion of the
Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar on the fol-
lowing charge :
Mr. William White, of No. 15, New Wharf, Black-
friars, a barrister's clerk, aged about 18 years, stated
that about half-past eight o'clock last evening he was
passing through Hyde Park, when the prisoner overtook
him, and forced a conversation on him, continuing to
walk by his side. As witness was proceeding in the di-
rection he wai going, towards Albert-gate, from Bays-
water, the, prisoner still continued to walk beside him,
and at length made propositions to him of an abominable
nature, and committed a very gross assault upon his
person. He indignantly repelled it ; and the prisoner
then snatched his walking-stick out of his hand, and
said, "If you don't give me what you have about
you, I'll charge you." Witness said he had
nothing to give him, and would call the police, and did
call loudly out for them. The prisoner, however, per-
sisted in searching him, feeling in his pockets, and took
from one of his waistcoat pockets some small amount of
copper coin, and a gold-mounted enamelled seal ; also a
red silk pocket-handkt renief from one of his coat pockets.
The prisoner then said, "You've a watch." Witness
said he had not, when the prisoner said, "I must search
you again," and felt his fob ; but, on finding that he had
no watch, he said, " You must give me your coat ; take
itioff your back." Witness then called again for the police,
and on hearing the footsteps of some persons approaching,
the prisoner set off running.
Sergeant Hardwicke, A, and constable No. 106 of the
same division, asssisted in capturing the prisoner as he
was running away, after he had been seen to throw down
the property he had robbed the prosecutor of. On the
way to the police-station, the prisoner offered to give to
Sergeant Hardwicke i! valuable silver watch, with gold
chains, seals, &c., which he had suspended round his
neck by a black ribbon, adding, " take and share it
amongst yourselves, and let me off, for I know how these
cases go." He afterwards said that he would rather
have been shot than such a thing should have happened.
The sergeant of the company to which the prisoner
belonged stated, that he bore a bad character in
the regiment. He had long been suspected of being one
of those soldiers who infest the parks at night, and rob
persons, under the threat of making abominable accu-
sations against them.
The prisoner said he was innocent.
Sergeant Hardwicke said he had been charged with
a similar offence twelve months ago, at Queen-square
Police-court, but escaped through some legal inaccuracy.
Fully committed to take his trial at the Central
Criminal Court.

MARYLEBONE—(THIS DAY.)
BRUTAL ASSAULT.—Denis Gorham, who has been
frequently charged at this office with the commission of
very aggravated assaults, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Long, charged with having assaulted John Luther-
man, a potman, at the Coachmakers' Arms, Marylebone-
lane.

The complainant stated that yesterday afternoon he
was sent by his mistress to post two letters. Ile had
only proceeded a short distance when the defendant
came up to him, raised his fist, knocked the complainant
down, snatched the letters from him, and ran away.
Complainant followed him, and on coming up to him, he
swore he would murder him if he followed him, and
again threw him down. He also assaulted him several
times with a strap with a heavy buckle at the end of it.
A policeman came up, and he was given into custody,
and was not conveyed to the station-house without
difficulty.
In answer to the charge, he said he was drunk at the
time, and did not know what he was about.

The prisoner was further charged with having bru-
tally ill-treated a person who was confined in the same
cell with him, because he would not sing.
Mr. LONG said he had heard quite enough, without
going into the last case, to think it his duty to punish the
defendant to the utmost extent he had the power of doing.
Ile should fine him SL, or two months' imprisonment,
for the assault on the complainant, without taking into
account the very serious assault on the constables.
A man named Flannagan was fined 20s. f)r endea-
vouring to get the last prisoner from the police, and for
using considerable violence towards them.

UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Elizabeth Joy, a servant girl, in the employ of Mr.
Burnell, was charged with stealing a large Indian ivory
box, value 301., and containing 301. in Bank of England
notes and sovereigns, the property of her master,
It appeared that on the preceding night, about eight
o'clock, the complainant missed the prisoner from the
house, and -discovered that the box above-mentioned,
and its contents, had been stolen from the sideboard in
the drawing-room. The prisoner came in soon after-
wards, and,' on being questioned, she exhibited
so much confusion, that she was given into cus-
tody. At an early hour this morning the complainant,
on examining at the lower end of the garden at the
rear of his house, found the box and money concealed
under a quantity of fire-wood, ready to be carried off.
The prisoner was remanded till Friday.!

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY),
Mary Ann Brown, an elderly person, dressed in wi-
dow's garments, was charged with breaking the windows
of Mr. Prentice, of No. 1, River-street, Islington.
The prisoner, who has repeatedly attempted to com-
mit suicide, was discharged from her lodgings at River-
street, for misconduct, on Monday last. She went to
the house yesterday, and smashed every window within
her reach. A policeman came, and she was with much
difficulty secured. She swore she would murder Mr.
Prentice. . _

Mr. Comm, in default of fine, committed her to pri-
son for ten days, cautioning the gaoler to place a guard
upon her, lest she might again make en attempt upon
her life.
