IN RE JAMES GEORGE CASSELAY.

The insolvent was described as a gas manufacturer and en-
gineer. He had been chief manager of the gas works
in Chichester, and also carried on extensive works of a similar
nature at Guilford. The amount of debts on his sche-
dule was upwards of 1,5001. He attributed his insolvency to
losses in trade, and also to a severe accident which he met,
whilst driving near Guilford, in consequence of his horse run-
ning away, by which his wife, who at the time was enciente,
had both her legs broken and her skull fi actured ; he also was
severely injured himself at the same time. His present
opposing creditor was a person named Hodgson, for a debt of
121., who refused to accept the same composition as the body
of the creditors, but ran him to execution, upon which the
insolvent's brother, who held a warrant of attorney for 6501.,
put it in force and swept away all the property.
Several witnesses having been examined on both sides,
The insolvent, in reply to a remark of the Learned Chief
Commissioner, said that the place, where he had to prepare his
schedule in prison previous to being admitted to bail, was so
inconvenient and crowded, that it was impossible for any one
to give the matter that attention which the Court always re-
quired.
Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS regretted that the matter was
out of his jurisdiction.
The insolvent was ordered to be discharged.

POLICE IN TEL LibENCE.
BO IV-STREET.
A respectable-looking woman, named Mary Ann Downes,
was placed at the bar under the following circumstances :
Charles Parry, the complainant, stated that he kept a furni-
ture shop in Great Wild-street. Wednesday night, about 11,
the prisoner, who had been living with him for the last nine
months as his mistress, left him, taking with her 17 or 18 bed-
steads, of the value of about 151.
Mr. H ALL—I suppose this is a question of property? Wit-
ness—Yes ; 1 believe she claimed them as her property, but I
don't know on what grounds. I claim 'em as mine.
The prisoner, who appeared to suffer a good deal, and was

crying all the time, stated that about a yearOFF
ago her husband,
who was a furniture dealer in a large way of business, left her.
and went ever to America, taking her own nieeewi him as *-
companion. He left her 4001. in money whet h went swap
She then took up with the complainant, who had been & jour-
neyman of her husband's, and they took a shop in the New-C't,
where they kept fifteen journeymen. The shop was soon after
burnt down, but most of the property was saved. When her
husband returned from America he seized upon all the proPertY
they had as his own. She and the complainant then hired the
place in Wild-street, and she purchased all the timber and ma-
terials for the furniture in the name of the complainant, for fear
her husband should seize it again. She ascertained on Wednesday
that the complainant had picked up another woman, so she do.
termined on leaving him, and she took the property away,
the timber had all been purchased with her own money.
A journeyman of the complainant, who saw the prisoner tad,
away the bedsteads, said that she did so openly, and, as she said,
because Charles Parry had behaved improperly to her. She
claimed them as h husband's property, having been pur-
chased with his moer ney. Witness had lived with the com-
plainant and prisoner as journeyman for four months, and he
should say that the prisoner took the principal part in the
business, and certainly appeared to have the money.
Mr. HALL said the case was quite clear : this was not a
theft—it was nothing more than a mere assertion of righ. He
could not legally under the circumstances send her fort trial.
Tho complainant might bring an action against her if be
thought he had any right to the property ; there was, how-
ever, no case of larceny proved at all.—The prisoner was then
discharged.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

William Chester, a young man of fashionable apce*
and who stated that he only arrived in London from Hamburg
yesterday, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking
care of himself, at two o'clock yesterday, in Regent-41'04?
Police-constable, 52 of the C division, stated that, while on his
beat a cab drove up, in which was the defendant, and the driver
gave him in charge for breaking two of the cab windows, one
of plate glass, of the value of 14s. 6d., and the other of
3h ewe'
mon, of the value of 3s. The cab-driver also claimed el
his tare. On taking the defendant to the station-house he be'
came completely insensible, from the effects of drink, and Os
consequently locked up for the night.
The defendant said he was sort}, for having so far forgot bits"
self, but he was willing to make any compensation the Magi."
trate might award.
The cab driver said he hoped he should be allowed fur hli•
broken windows.
The defendant said it certainly did occur tohim that 141. tol"
for a cab window was a great deal to charge.
Mr. HARDWICK—It is decidedly too much ; the public oust
understand that they are net liable to ray such exorbit
prices.
Inspector Beresford of the C division said, that at the Stay
tion-house the driver admitted that the defendant had broken
the glass by accident.
Mr. HARDWICK said that would take the case completlt
out of his hand ; he should, therefore, discharge the defendle4
and the driver must summon the gentleman to the Court '-
Requests.
The driver said it was very hard that he was to get no re'
muneration for his broken windows.
Mr. Fitzpatrick (the Chief Clerk)—Then you should 0
take drunken persons into the cab.
The defendant said he did not wish the driver to lose any
tlel
by his folly, and generously paid him the full amount clai .

On the preceding day a Custom-house officer, in passii

that he had some smuggled brandy for sale. The officer et
