LAW AND POLICE.

At the Bankruptcy Court the adjourned hearing of the
case of Mr. C. Mathews was resumed. The Court was crowded
with theatricals. Mr. Mathews stated that his losses at
Covent-garden Theatre amounted to 27,000/. The insolvent
was examined at great length, and the case was again
adjourned:
Martha Brucer was re-examined at Marylebone, on a
charge of having stolen various articles, the property of Mr.
John Austin, of No. I, Thayer-street, Manchester-square.
She had been for two months in the service of the prosecutor;
recommended by a false character, previous to the robbery,
which was proved; and she was committed for trial.
Charles Bruce, a very expert housebreaker, was finally ex-
amined at Queen-square, on the charge of feloniously break-
ing and entering the dwellino•-house of Mrs. Emily Hawkins,
a widow lady, residing at No, 9, Lower Grove, Brompton,
and stealing therein a quantity of plate, wearing apparel, &c.
From the time of committing the offence the prisoner has
been suffering imprisonment for another felony, and as soon
as he was liberated he was brought up upon this charge. He
was committed for trial.

Eliza Cook, a respectable-looking young woman, was
brought from Guy's Hospital to Union-hall, on a charge of
attempting to commit suicide by swallowing a large quan-
tity of laudanum, from'the effects of which she was with dif-
ficulty saved. Distress seemed to have caused the attempt.
She was sent to St. Olave's workhouse to be taken care oE

THIS IS TILE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed
of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that
it was obtained by iritudulent-Misrepresentation ; the great aim and
object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their
value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded,
and be independent of the liberality er caprice of those who shall be
in the management of the affairs of the Company wken the claims
arise ; and for this purpose tke Company have, by a clause 'ln their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to provo that
it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The
regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com-
promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The
Company considering it only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid; and they undertake to do so without reference to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calcalated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits
is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re-
gard to complete security will permit.

CLERKENWELL.

A smartly-attired young man, who gave the very
dubious name of Smith, was charged with numerous
robberies of ready-furnished lodgings.
Mrs. Peat, a lady residing in Hedden-court, Re-
gent-street, deposed that, on the 19th inst., the pri-
soner took ready-furnished lodgings from her, and on
the same evening occupied them. In the morning
her servant found the street-door open, and they soon
after ascertained that during the night the prisoner
had robbed the parlour and bed-room of every port-
able article they contained—bed•clothes, men and
women's wearing apparel, and some jewellery. Wit-
ness identified a handkerchief on the prisoner's neck
when arrested as a portion of the stolen property.
Mrs. Anne Bradley, residing at University-street,
Tottenham-court-road, deposed that, on Saturday
last, the prisoner took a parlour from her and retired
to rest at ten o'clock. On Sunday night she care-
fully locked and bolted the street door. In the morn-
ing she saw the street door open, and it was found
that the prisoner had decamped during the night,
taking with him bed clothes, wearing apparel, house
linen, &c.
Police-constable Morris, 75 E, deposed that he met
the prisoner carrying two large bundles on that
(Monday) morning, and not being able to satisfac-
torily account for the possession of them, took him
into custody. He treated witness in a very cavalier
way, said the property was his sister's, and threatened
witness with the consequences of so grave an infrac-
tion of the liberty of the subject.
The property having been identified, the deposi-
tions for trial were taken down.

LONDON PEACE SOCIETY.

Memorial of the London Peace Society on the affairs
of Morocco, Hayti, and Otaheite.
To the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart , First
Lord of the Treasury; the Right Hon. the Earl of
Aberdeen, Secretary of State fur the Foreign De-
partment; and the other Right lion. Members of
her Majesty's Government.

The Memorial of the Committee of the London Peace

Society,
Showeth,—That your memorialists are fully.pq-
suaded that war is repugnant to the spirit and princi-
ples of the Christian religion, subversive of the true in-
terests of mankind, and as unnecessary as it is una-
vailing as a mode of settling international differences.
That whilst your memorialists regard with pecu-
liar satisfaction the continuance of peace among the
nations of Europe, they are deeply and painfully af-
fected by the hostilities which at the present time pre-
vail in some other parts of the globe ; especially i"
the empire of Morocco, the island of Hayti in the
West Indies, and the island of Otaheite in the
Southarn Par•ifc.

That your memorialists as the Committee of
Society whose sole object is the promotion of paint.
nent and universal peace, abstain from expressing of
opinion on the political questions supposed to be at
issue at these various regions ; but they venture re-
spectfully and earnestly to press upon the Right
Honourable Members of her Majesty's Government,
the importance of employing (as your memorialists
thankfully acknowledge that they have often and,
successfully done) their best efforts by argument and
persuasion, founded on principles of true reason and
policy, as bell as on benevolent and religious con'
siderations, to put a speedy determination to these
distressing circumstances, with a full regard to strict
justice towards all the parties who are variously con'
cerned in them.

And your memorialists venture further to express
their earnest desire and hope, that the entire pro'
ceedings of her Majesty's. Government may be such
as shall promote a peaceable spirit and conduct among
all classes of British subjects; and minister no jot
ground of offence, either to the great and mighty
nations of Europe, or any'of those States which, io
some respects, may be esteemed more feeble and less,
important, but whose natural rights are equally sacred
and inviolable, and dear to themselves ; and whoa*
very weakness, in a political point of view, claims for
them the sympathy and moral assistance, and protec;
tion of the more powerful nations of the world, and
especially of Great Britain.
And your memorialists will ever pray, &c.
N.B. A similar memorial was sent at the same time
to his Majesty the King of the French; both of which
have been favourably received, and duly ac-
knowledged.

STOPPING FOOT-ROADS.

In Nottingham a highly respectable Committee
(through a public meeting) has been formed, for the
purpose of preventing any further illegal stopping up
of foot-roads (which has been frequently done in that
locality latterly) belonging to the public, and for the
purpose of re-opening those which have been illegally
closed. Some of those roads have already been re-
opened to the public by the Committee, and subscrip-
tions to aid them are handing in. The " road-
stoppers" have now a force against them they do not
relish. The Committee have obtained opinion of
counsel. Subjoined is a copy :
" The law relating to public roads is very diffe-
rent from that which relates to private roads ; twenty
years' usor or disusor has no reference to the former.
The Crown (that is, in effect, the public) are barred
by no lapse of time, except in cases provided for by
particular statutes, none of which apply to public
roads. Previous to the last General Highway Act,
any person might dedicate his land for a public road,
and when once dedicated, it becomes a public road for
ever, unless stopped up by legal proceedings, none of
which have been adopted in this case ; since that Act,
a party cannot dedicate a road except as therein pro-
vided. Before that Act, no precise number of years'
permission for the public to use it was necessary to
constitute it a public road; length of time was only
evidence, more or less strong, of an intention to dedi-
cate, and an usor of much less than twenty years was
held sufficient.

" Applying these principles to the present case, if
the ground proprietor set out roads which the public
have used for several years, much less than twenty,
the public have the right now to use those roads, that
is, assuming they were set out and used before Au-
gust, 1835 (the date of the Highway Act).
" The non-usor of the other roads would not ex-
tinguish them ; the only effect non-usor would have,
would be to render it a question for the jury, whether
they ever were public roads ; if it can be clearly
shown they were, they are not extinguished by non-
usor.

" This answers the first and second queries. The
Committee may legally insist on all roads which were
public all the year being open all the year ; but the
fact of their having been closed nine months is evi-
dence that they are not public roads all the year.
What evidence the Committee have to rebut this I do
not know ; it is a question of fact for the jury, and
not of law. " C. H. WHITEHURST.

BOW-STREET.

A very respectable-looking man was brought before
Mr, Hall, charged with stealing three §overelgns, the
property of Mrs. Mary Scott, who keeps a stand in
Covent-garden market.
Mr. M. Chambers, the barrister, appeared for the
prisoner.

The prosecutrix stated that on Saturday week last the
prisoner came to her stand in Covent-garden, and asked
her to give him change for a sovereign. She had at that
time three sovereigns in a bag, which bag she opened,
and the prisoner immediately snatched it out of her
hand, and walked away. She was so surprised at the
conduct of the prisoner, that she did not make known
her loss to any one. She saw the prisoner again on
Saturday last, and accused him of the theft, but he de-
nied it. She then called the officers of the market, and
gave him into custody. As she did so, she said that if
the prisoner would give her the three sovereigns back
again she would not proceed against him, and when they
arrived at the station-house she said she would not pro-
ceed against him if he would give 11. 10s.
Mr. Chambers said the defendant was a respectable
grocer carrying on business in the West-end, and was
in the habit of going to Covent-garden market
to get change on a' Saturday night, The Learned
Counsel then called Mr. Draper, who keeps a shop
in the arcade of Covent-garden market, and
ha stated that he knew the prisoner well. He was in the
habit of going to Covent garden market for change on a
Saturday evening. lie Qarried on an extensive business.
He (the witness) had no doubt that the sovereigns which
had been lost were dropped by the prosecutrix amongst
the stands in the market.

Mr. HALL (the depositions having been taken) said,
that after the evidence for the defence, he could not
think of sending the case for trial,--.-The prisoner was
accordingly discharged•

TVORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday a middle-aged man, having the appear-
ance of a respectable mechanic, who gave the name
of Charles Stevens, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Broughton, charged by the parish authorities of
Shoreditch with deserting his wife, Eliza Stevens, in
a heartless manner, and leaving her chargeable to
their parish.
The wife, a good-looking young woman in an ad-
vanced state of pregnancy, stated that about a twelve-
month ago, while in comfortable service in a highly
respectable family at Ball's Pond, she accidentally
became acquainted with the prisoner, who repre-
sented himself as a widower, and, after paying her
attentions for three or four months, persuaded her
to leave her situation and marry him. She did as he
desired, and the ceremony took place, in the name of
Stevens, at St. John's Church, Hoxton. The pri-
soner's conduct towards her had afterwards been uni-
formly very bad, but on his discovery that she was in
the family way, he lost all control over himself and com-
menced a series of most brutal usage, beating, ne-
glecting, and abusing her for her condition, and
finally, about eleven weeks since, abandoned her al-
together and left her to shift for herself. After endu-
ring three weeks' privation, she was obliged to apply
to the parish for support, and they, upon ascertaining
her situation, immediately took her into the work-
house, where she had been ever since, and was now in
expectation of being momentarily confined.
Mary Smith, the wife's mother, a poor washer-
woman, corroborated her daughters statement, and
gave a detail of the most heartless conduct on the part
of the prisoner toward's his wife ; whose marriage to
the prisoner was also formally put in proof.
Holland, one of the warrant officers, who assisted
Waller, the beadle, in apprehending the prisoner,
proved taking him in Macclesfild-street, Kingsland-
