LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 11.
IN BE LOUIS COW:JEBEL.
The bankrupt in this case was the proprietor of a
French establishment called the Leicester Hotel, in
Leicester-square. About four months ago a French
gertleman named Saclier, while on his way from
Foulogne to London, was robbed of 4,000 f. by a
female in the steam-packet, and when h:. arrived
here, he and the bankrupt proceeded to give informa-
titn of the circumstance to the police, after which the
latter told him it would be much the safest plan if he
lodged all the money he had about him in his (the
bankrupt's hands. Mr. Saclier, upon this represen-
tation, then handed him over 15,000 f., with which he
instantly decamped, and although Mr. Sadler offered
a re‘N and of 1001. for his apprehension, he had never
since been heard of. Soon after he absconded several
perions to whom he was indebted in large sums
issued a fiat of bankruptcy against him, and, after
several previous hearings, this day was appointed for
his final examination.

L pon the bankrupt's name being called in Court,
and it being stated that he had not as yet surrendered,
the further examination was adjourned sine die, and
-the usual formulm observed in announcing a pro-
clamation of outlawry.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COUR2; Oct. 11.
IN RE JOHN EVANS.

The insolvent was described in his schedule as a
tailor and draper. His petition to be discharged was
opposed by Mr. Woodruffe onj behalf of the detain-
ing creditor.
The circumstances upon which the opposition rested
were, first, for having been guilty of a breach of trust
in receiving certain monies on the detaining creditors'
account ; and secondly, for fraudulently and vexati-
ously defending an action brought by him for the re-
cow ry of his debt.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said that the insolvent's
conduct was most aggravated and without palliation.
imprisoned
for sentence of the Court was, that he be
for a period not exceeding six calendar months from
the date of his vesting order.

IN RE REUBEN MICHAEL.

Tbe facts of this case had been fully before the
Court at the last hearing, when it was reported in
The SIM. The insolvent, who was a member of the
Jewish persuasion, and carried on an extensive
business as a general dealer, this day appeared in
Court to receive final judgment.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said, as in the pre-
cedidg case, the greatest culpability attached to the
insolvent for offering a fraudulent and vexatious de-
fence. He had put the opposing creditor to enormous
expense in seeking to recover his just claim. He
(Mr. Commissioner Harris) would, therefore, sentence
him to be remanded for five months from the date of
his vesting order, at the suit of Mr. Thomas Joseph
Severn, the opposing creditor.

PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
A young woman, of very respectable appearance,
who was acepmpanied by her brother, applied to the
Lord Mayor for advice in what manner to proceed
under the following disagreeable circumstances :
The young woman said that she and la young man,
:whom she believed for a long time to be a person of
unexceptionable character, had been on terms of inti-
macy, and she at length consented to marry him.
As the time for performing the ceremony approached,
the necessary arrangements were made, but informa-
tion, which she subsequently found td be correct,
was brought to her that the gentleman to whom she
was engaged had been imprisoned for robbery. The
first thing she did after the shock was softened
down, was to send word to the person who was so
much interested in the matrimonial arrangements,
that they must be postponed sine die, as she had as-
certained that he had been in gaol for thieving. The
only answer he made was a volley of abuse, in which
his mother joined against her, and they both slowed
a determination to compel her to perform her en-
gagement, which she considered herself quite at
liberty to annul under such painful circumstances.
The LORD :MAYOR said the applicant had acted
very prudently in not timidly yielding to the threats
or expostulations of a person whom she knew to be a
man of bad character, and in applying to authority
for protection, which should certainly be afforded to her.
The young woman's brother said that the conse-
quence of his sister's refusal to connect herself with
such a person was, that the disappointed man and his
mother had done all they could to traduce the girl's
character, by accusing her publicly of being unchaste,
and in the grossest terms imaginable.
The LORD MAYOR desired that warrants should be
issued against the man and his mother, and an officer
was sent to apprehend them.
The mother was brought before the Lord Mayor,
but the son, who no doubt apprehended something
disagreeable, did not appear. His father, however, re-
presented himself to be the individual most particu-
larly charged, and appeared in the young man's place.
The Young woman then stated that after she had
intimated to all who were concerned that the mar-
riage was broken off, the female defendant caned at
her house, insisted upon being informed who was the
author of the report that her son had been in prison,
and not only insulted the witness by the most offen-
sive epithets, but attempted to scratch her face, and
missing her face scratched the landlord's.
The female defendant said her son had got himself
into difficulties by his liberality in making presents to
the woman, who had all along promised to be his wife.
The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean to say that he
has not been in prison for robbery ? The female
defendant—l do not mean to say so. He has been
in prison, but she was the cause of it.
The complainant's brother said his sister had never
caused the least extravagance to any human being,
and would not accept of any presents whatever. All
she wanted now was to be protected from the animo-
sity which she had so much reason to dread.
The LORD MAYOR directed that the female de-
fendant should find bail, and that the young man
should be immediately apprehended. The father,
against whom no charge was brought, was discharged.
BOW-STREET.
A most odd-looking, eccentric individual, known
by the name of The Doctor, whose extremely red face
and portly form but ill contrasted with a temperance
medal—pledge of total abstinence—which he wore
conspicuously dangling in front of his surtout coat,
buttoned up d la militaire, was placed at the bar
charged with assaulting several persons in the Strand.
On being placed at the bar, he exclaimed, fixing his
eyes on Mr. Twyford, and speaking in a most insinu-
ating tone of voice, " I am happy to see you, Sir ; I
respect you much as the representative of the Royal
authority."
Mr. Twyford bowed in acknowlegment, and the
case proceeded.
Mr. Wm. Holt, of Bartholomew-square, Old-street-
road, stated that as he was passing along the Strand
this morning, he observed the gentleman at the bar
with a stick in his hand which he was flourishing
about in a most untoward manner, and with a very
evident contempt of the safety of her Majesty's lieges.
He hit witness a violent blow upon the knee, and like-
wise endeavoured to strike a number of horses, making
them rear and plunge in such a manner as to endan-
ger the lives of the riders. To prevent more serious
consequences witness gave him into custody.
Two other witnesses likewise complained of having
been assaulted, one upon the eye, and the other on
the ear, by the prisoner.
The prisoner proceeded to cross-examine the wit-
nesses, and it was rendered quite evident, from his
tone and gesture, that he was not fit to be at
large. He then commenced a long incoherent
harangue, to which Mr. Twyford listened patiently
enough for some time, but at last interrupted him,
and ordered the officer to take him to the Strand
Union-,.that inquiries might he made about him.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Kine and Charles Robinson, chimney
sweepers, were placed at the bar charged with com-
mitting the following robbery at the residence of Lord
Brougham, No. 4, Grafton-street East, Berkeley-
square. It appears that the prisoners were journey-
men in the employ of Robert Martin, of No. 3, John-
street, Grosvenor-mews, a respectable master, carry-
ing on a very extensive business, and that they were
last evening sent to sweep the chimney's of some of the
upper apartments of his Lordship's residence, the
whole of the establishment being out of town, and
the premises being left entirely in charge of a fe-
male. While they were in the house they got
out on the leads of the roof, and stripped off
a quantity of sheet-lead, which they closely rolled
up, and concealed in their soot-bag, and were about
leaving the premises with their booty, when their em-
ployer, whose suspicion that something wrong was
going. on had been excited by the unusually long stay
they made about their work, pounced upon them with
the stolen property in their possession.
The prisoners declined saying anything in their de-
fence, and were remanded until Friday next. In the
interim a communication will be made to his Lordship.
MARYLEBONE.
Louisa Haycocks, a woman about 45 years of age,
was char-ged before Mr. Rawlinson with felony.
Elizabeth Trevor, housekeeper in the family of
Joshua Bates, Esq., No. 50, Portland-place, stated
that the prisoner had been engaged in their family,
but had lately left; she (witness) missing several
articles from the house suspected that the prisoner
might have stolen them, and applied for a search-war-
rant which was granted.
Police-constable 71 D said that he and two of Mr.
Bates's servants had gone to prisoner's house, 16,
.Nrorth-street, Lisson-grove, where, after searching
some drawers, he discovered an apron, having Eliza-
beth Trevor's name on it, several towels, blankets, pil-
low-cases, &e., with the name cut out; and in a wood
box, which he also examined, he found several bars of
..oap, a quantity of wax candles, soda, starch, spices,
chocolate, &c. He asked prisoner to account for their
