INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY

RE GEORGE EEPLOE.
The insolvent in this case, who was an omnibus and cab pro-
prietor, was opposed in person by a creditor named Alder.
It appeared that the insolvent had been his tenant, and hav-
ing gone in arrear of rent, a writ was issued, and, as is fre-
quently the case, the sum named was larger than that due,
although the insolvent was made aware by the opposing credi-
tor's attorney that this was merely a matter of form. The
insolvent pleaded to the action, and consequently much extra
expense was imposed on theplaintiff before judgment was taken.
The grounds of opposition, therefore, was for a vexatious de-
fence. _ _

Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said the insolvent bad been
seven months in prison ; besides the fact that a larger sum
than was actually due being named in the writ, took away the
strict legal application of the clause against vexatious defences
in this case, and on those grounds the decision of the Court was
that he be discharged forthwith.

IN RE WILHELM CLAUER ICLATOWSKL.
Mr. Nicuom.s said he applied au behalf of Messrs. John
Tutein and John Hodges, to have them appointed assignees in
this case. It appeared that in the year 183 b the insolvent
took the benefit of the Act, and his clients being
creditors for a large amount, were appointed assig-
nees. Nothing was realised from the estate, but it
appeared by the schedule filed under :the present petition,
that there was surplus property to a large amount arising from
good debts due to the estate at present, and his clients were,
therefore, anxious to be appointed assignees under the present
petition as well as the former one.
Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS inquired whether Messrs.
Tutain and Hodges had become creditors since the former in-
solvency, and, being answered in the negative, said he could not
for a moment entertain such application.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Four dirty young girls, who had the appearance of prosti-
tutes of the lowest order, were charged with being very riotous,
creating a disturbance, and assaulting several persons, at four
o'clock this morning, in Broad-street, St. Giles.
The policeman, who had the young ladies in charge, nar-
rated, in a concise manner, the facts of the case, and, by way
of a specimen of their peculiar behaviour, he favoured the
worthy Magistrate with a few choice and elegantly termed
expressions, for which ladies of their class are so justly
celebrated, which they made use of this morning in the course
of their interesting little squabble. Notwithstanding the
delicate and chaste character of the expressions alluded to, we
think perhaps it would be almost as well not to give publica-
tion to them in our columns. During the recital of these ex-
pressions by the policeman, the pure young creatures expressed
the utmost astonishment that such neat little phrases should
have fallen from their untainted lips ; nay, they even went so
far as to endeavour to cast a slur upon the policeman's testi-
mony, the repeated ejaculation of sundry little sentences
such as by"
Well; 1 never," and turning to each other, making
the figure of a party about to set off in a Scotch reel, each ex-
claimed to the other in a confidential tone, " Did you ever ?"
I never did." " Oh, dear, oh, dear," " the talse-sweating
man," &c.
'The policeman having concluded his statement, spite of nu-
merous interruptions, the fair creatures were called upon for
their defence.

....... —_____
Each one then in soft and mellifluous tones, which fell upon
the ear like the echo of sweet music, wafted through the air on
a calm quiet summer eve, commenced her statement :—" Oh,
Lor, she war'nt near the place at hall, she was hinnocent o'

was no reason to doubt his testimony; under these circum-
stances, therefore, he should commit them each to the House
of Correction for fourteen days.
The delicate young creatures whom, we forgot to remark,
had neither of them bonnet or shawl, were then removed to
mingle with the common herd of prisoners. We do sincerely
hope and trust that their morals may nut be tainted by coming
in so close contact with the rest of the prisoners during their
short visit to the House of Correction.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
John Hood, a middle-aged man of shabby' appearance, was
placed at the bar, charged with the following impudent rob-
bery :—About nine o'clock yesterday morning, a journeyman
baker, in the employ of Mr. 'William Butcher of No. 2.5,
Brydges-street, Covent-garden, bread and biscuit baker,
left a barrow of bread on the foot pavement, in Cambridge-
street, Golden-square, while he went to serve a customer,
in an adjoining street. During his absence the prisoner was
seen to go deliberately up to the barrow and take out fourteen
half-quartern loaves, which be placed in a basket that was hang-
ing in front of the barrow, and, slinging it over his shoulder,
was malting
off with it at a quick pace, when he was stopped
and given into the custody of the police.
AlActsraATE—Have you anything you wish to say? Pri-
soner—Nothing ; I certainly took the bread because I was

of it.

A Police-constable identified the prisoner as haring been
convicted at the Cer.tral Criminal Court for a similar offence.
He w• as fully committed.

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.—We have nothing fur-

in Parliament, except that Bir. Walter has arrived, and was to

.Review of this day.
Yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock,
as Thomas Timms, one of the fire-brigadernen belonging to
Watling-street Fire-engine station, was proceeding in a boat
from Southwark-bridge stairs, he discovered the body of a
young lady, elegantly attired, floating in the River Thames.
He, with assistance, got the body into the boat, and it was cc n-
veyed on shore, and afterwards to Christchurch IN orkhouse,
where it lies to await a Coroner's inquest. There were no
papers or other documents found on the deceased's person, so
as to lead to a discovery of who she was. The body appeared
to have been from five to six days in the water.
