England during the King's absence.
We are assured (says the Patrie) that the Minister of

LAW AND POLICZ.

A bankrupt laceman, named Jonathan Thomas Mound,
who had carried on business in Birmingham, was exa-
mined on Wednesday before Mr. Commissioner Evans,
touching a deficiency in his account of 735/. He said he had
his pocket picked of that amount in the streets of London
on the 17th of August. The Learned Commissioner
said that this was one of the most extraordinary stories
he had ever heard, and not one tittle of which did he
believe. His Honour, emphatically addressing the
bankrupt, said, " There is not enough in the evidence
at present to justify my committing you to Newgate, but
for your own sake I would advise you to give up this
money to your creditors, for I am sure you have it."
The petition of Benjamin Carpenter, a licensed vic-
tualler, was dismissed by Sir C. F. Williams.
The criminal business for the October Session for
Middlesex has commenced at the Sessions-house, Clerken-
well-green. The calendar contained the names of sixty-
four prisoners for trial, fifty-five of whom were indicted
for felony, all of which were of a trifling nature. The
remaining nine stood charged with misdemeanours.
Amongst the cases disposed of was that of Charles
Augustus Cooke, convicted of stealing two baskets and a
quantity of pears, the property of William Attwood. It
having been ascertained that he had been previously
confined in a lunatic asylum, he was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment, for the purpose of enabling the
medical men to ascertain the state of his mind, on which
the prisoner broke out into the following rhapsody :
" The fact is, you are as mad as I am; but I'm not mad.
No, I'm not ; but I think you ought to be here in the
dock instead of me. I have seen greater rogues in the
court to day than I am. Send me out of the country, for
its both unpleasant and inconvenient to remain here ; fur
I have spent the greater part of my life in madhouses
and prisons."
At Guildhall a young man, named John M'Gregor, a
shopman in the employ of Messrs. Hall and Allan,
drapers, St. Paul's Churchyard, was brought before Mr.
Ald. Copeland, charged with robbing his employers.
'1 he prisoner said he wished to confess the charge was
true, and he hoped the magistrate would be as lenient
with him as he could. Evidence having been gone into
to prove the charge, the prisoner, who declined signing
his confession, was committed for trial.
Mr. Bond gave judgment at Queen-square in the case
of Charles Lowing, of Hatton, near Hounslow, who was
charged at this Court about a week ago with hawking
hay without a licence. The learned magistrate said, that
as this was the first case of the sort that had come under
his notice he had adjourned it, in order to make himself
better acquainted a ith the law on the subject. He was
now perfectly satisfied that it was an offence within the
meaning of the Act, and he must, therefore, convict de-
fendant in the penalty of 10/., or in default commit him
for three months. The penalty was paid.
Andrew Quick, a tall fashionably dressed young man,
was brought before Mr, Maltby, at Marlborough-street,
charged, by various tradesmen, with having obtained
goods under false pretences. That the prisoner has
- • :-ed the whole of them, there could be no doubt,
tvl matters so cleverly, that in every
but he had mantic;
case the transaction resolved itself into a simple debt, and
he was consequently discharged.
At Alarylebone, after the cli§posal. of the night charges,
a tall athletic Frenchman entered the miter office, and
having accosted Jones, the usher, to whom he stated that
he wished to make an application of mull importance,
he was introduced to the sitting magistrate, Mr, Raw-
haw!), who inquired the nature of his business. The
applicant had, on a previous occasion, applied at one of
the City police-courts for a warrant against the Icing of
the French, and he now applied to the magistrate to for-
ward a paper to the Queen, with the request that her
Majesty would bring it under the notice of King Louis
Philippe. Mr. liawlinson of course refused, but pro-
mised to look over the papers himself, with which the
Frenchman seemed satisfied.
William Duval, an American sailor on board the
Prince Oscar, an English vessel, at present lying in the
London Dock, was charged, at Lambeth-street, with the
ferocious act of " gouging," or forcing one of the eyes of
his Captain (Lawson) from its socket, and inflicting
other injuries upon him. The prosecutor, who is in the
London Hospital, is su severely injured as to be unable
to attend, and the prisoner, who in reply to the charge
carelessly said that he was in such a state of mind at the
time as to be unable to control his passion, and uncon-
scious of what he did, was remanded. .
Mr. William Frederick Bickford, an officer in her
Majesty's Customs, was committed from the same police
court, on a charge of stealing a small chest, containing
upwards of 141bs. of tea, the property of the St. Katha-
rine's Dock Company.
At Woolwich, Eliza Fuller was charged with carrying
and conveying ashore one pound and three-quarters of
foreign cigars, liatsle to forfeiture under the Customs.
Being her first offence she was let off with a fine of 20s.
John Coleman and William Goiter, two lads fourteen
years of age, and inmates of the Kingston union,
charged with running away from the said union, and
stealing the clothes they were attired in, were committed
from Wandsworth for ten days each.

Correspondent," of a" Dreadful Fire" at the mansion o
W. G. Ilayter, Esq., M.P. for this city, which, asi
alleged, was attended with the loss of the life of one I;
his servants. I reside immediately opposite Mr. Ifayter
house, and am his solicitor here ; and in his temporal
absence beg to state that no part of his premises has bee°
on fire ; and consequently your Correspondent's report
is a fabrication, and wholly untrue.
I am happy to add there has been no incendiary fire
here or in the neighbourhood, and I think there is 01
fear of one, unless your unprincipled Correspondent
should be amongst us—his feeling no right-minded 1ne.1.),
can envy. Trusting to your impartiality to insert thl'
letter, I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Wells, Oct. 9. RICHARD SHEPPARP.

[The letter, which we believed entitled to credit, was
dated " Wells, 7th October," and signed " J. R. Gibbs'
one of the agents to the West of England." We 041'
forward it to our Correspondent, as possibly it may help
to trace out the worthless individual who fabricated the
account.—ED. Sun.]
