James Parker, a young man of shabby-genteel appearance,
who stated himself to ben accountant, was charged with hay.
ing obtained, by means of false and fraudulent representations,
a great number of printed books from different circulating
libraries.
It appeared that Hayward, a police-constable attached to
the Court, was sent .for to the house of Mr. \lux a news-
agent, &c., in UniOn-street, Spitaifields, where 'he found
the prisoner, whom Ain Vans charged with having sold
him a (quantity .of books, which he suspected hod been
stolen. Mr. Vanx delivered to the officer between two and
three dozen volumes of novels and romances, whiCh the
prisoner had 'sold to him, and amongst the number were three
volumes of Ainsworth's " Jack Sheppard," which the prisoner
had just offered for sale. The prisoner said that the books be-
longed to his father, w ho lived at Hoehampton, but on search-
ing him Hayward found in his pocket the printed address of
Air. Draper, the owner of a library at Stoke Newington, to
whom the three volumes of " Jack Sheppard" were found to
belong, the prisoner having obtained them only an hour before
his apprehension. upon the false rep.esentation that he had been
sent for them by. Mr. Thrapson, a subscriber to the library.
In his defence the prisoner repeated the statement he had
made to the officer, that the books were the property of his father.
Thu Magistrate rem anded the prisoner until Monday next,
when it is expected that several cases will be made out
against him. •

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
IPSWICH.
Mr. Stephen Piper, publisher of the Ipswich Express, was
re-examined respecting the tactiesof the Sitting Member. He
remembered Mr. Rennie's addressing the electors in reference
to a placard stuck up by the enemy, to the effect that he had
run from Kidderminster in debt, when the Hon. Gentleman
proved that the insinuation was false.
Mr. AusTE?l,—Did you hear Mr. Rennie say that if the
election was to be won by money, it should be won ?—I never
heard anything of the kind.
Did you hear Mr. Welkin address the electors to the effect
that the Tories had circu►ated a report that he would not come
to Ipswich because he had got no money; but that he (Mr.
Wason) was come, and had get money, and that 1,0001.,
3,0001., or even 10,0001. should not stop him?-1 did not.
Mr. Wm. Brown—l am the leader of the Ipswich Recha-
bite brass band, and I played for the yellows at the late eke-
tion. I employed 14, men at a guinea a day each. I got a
good deal of money and some excuses.—(Laughter.) I Ives
paid for the nomination and polling music, but I have not yet
been paid for the chairing. I sent in my. bill for the balance
to Mr. Wason; his answer was, that he would see me about it
when this concern (the Committee) was finish;d.—(Laughter. )
The account was not disputed.
Cross-examined by Mr. ilitn-1 will not swear that I was
not paid, because 1 could not say who had ordered me t o play.
I played according to the programme sent me from the Suffolk
Hotel. On the day of the chairing WO played " See, the Con-
quering Hero Coutes," which meant Mr. Wason.—(Laughter.)
1 remember one of the Committee said I had played on specula-
tiou.—( Laughter.)

BEAUMONT SMITH.--FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
—So fur from Smith having suffered upon an equality with
his fellew-prisoners, he has been highly favoured in being at,
lowed the privilege of remaining on board the ship to fill any
capacity. Aly lesson for troubling you with this is, to show
that partiality and favours are often' dealt out to In isoners of
this class, while others, whose crimes are not so flagrant, and
whose abilities are as good, combined with periods of a touch
longer imprisonment, are thrown in the back ground,
merely because their family connections are not so re-
',
sp(ctable, or the confidence they had broken, in .their
respective situatioix, of such a nature, as cannot be well re-
membered. A; feeling of partiality is eenstantly shown to
persons who have held good situations, and abui,ed them, while
men who, through the cravings of hunger, have made them-
selves
amenable to the laws, are compelled to labour hard in this
dock-yard.

MELANCHOLY (245. E.—Yesterday an inquest was
held before Wm. Carters Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the
Three Jolly Gardeners, Lambeth, reliecting the death of Air.
Joseph Ray, aged 61. Tbe deceased carried on a most ez-
tensive business, as a painter and decorator, in the Vauxhall-
road, and on Thursday last he went to some business which be
had to overlook at Camberwell. As he proceeded on the New..
road, Camberwell, he was taken ill, and asked to sit down at
the first shop he arrived at. '1 his was willingly granted, and
then he said he lilt worse, and wished to be placed on a bed.
The request was one which was not antis ipated, but it was
most readily complied with, and he was undressed, and put
into bed ; and in order that no attension should be wanting, a
surgeon was instantly sent for, but on his arrival, the unfor-
tunate gentleman was ,pronounced to be dead. As it seemed
uses'. probable the death was, caused by the bursting of one of the
vessels of the heart, the Jury returned a verdict of "Natural
death."

DISFRANCHISEMENT OF SUDI3URY.— The recom-
mendatory resolutions of the Committee to disfranchise this

EXCHEQUER.--(THIS _DAY.)
THE. MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY V. LOP.D ATHERTON.
Sir THOMAS WILDE moved for a rule to show causi; why
the verdict in this ease should not be set aside, and a new trial
granted. The case, which was an action to try the custom of a
manor in Staffordshire in regard to the right of a ti man'. to take
certain minerals, came on for trial before Air. Justice Cresswell
at the last assizts at. Worcester; and a verdict had been found
for the plaintiff. The minerals, the rigkt to which was dis-
puted, were coal, iron, stone, and limestone, and lay in different
parts of the manor. The defendants had prozuced evidence
at the trial, for the purpose'of proving the working and taking
of the minerals fcr a long period of time. The present applica-
tion was made mi the grounds, first, that a certain deed had
been improperly received in evidence; secondly, that evidence
as to the custom in an adjoining manor had been improperly
rejected; and, thirdly, that there had been a misdirection as to
certain parts of the evidence.
After an elabO:rate argument in support of the application,
on the part of Sir Thomas Wilde, which turned upon the in..
terpretation of ancient deeds and upon points of a purely tech-
nical nature, the Court intimated that they would take time to
consider their decision in the matter.

BANKRUPTCY,-(TillS DAY.)
IN ILE MILLER AND CRADOCK.
The Wile:L.or to the bankrupts made an application to Mr.
Commissioner f-folroyd to postpone the hearing of this ease for
three weeks, as the bankrupts had not had sufficient time to
make up their: balance sheet..--The case was ordered to stand
over for that time.

INSOLVENT CO URT-(r HIS DAY)
IN RE ROBERTON.
The hearing of this ease took !lave some time back, when
it was reported in The Sun. The insolvent now appeared in
Court to receive judgment.
111 r. Commissioner HARRIS said the insolvent's conduct in
getting credit from the opposing creditor to such a large
amount, without informing him that he had executed a war.
rant of attorney 'in favour -of another person, was inexcusable.
However, as he had I), en a long time in confinement now,
and had not availed himself of hail, the Court felt inclined
to pass a more lenient sentence upon him than it would un-
der other circumstances. The judgment of the Court was,
that he br remanded, at the suit of one or more ofhis creditors,
for eight months from the dale of his vesting order.

John Wilson wis placed at the bar before Air. JA an
charged with stealing a pillow and a blanket horn his furnished
lodgings.

punish the prisoner ; if she could get her thing, back she shou,d
ue satisfied; the prisoner had confessed to having pawned the

• The prisoner, in eitenuation, pleaded great poverty and dis-
tress, and his having livcd four years in the prosceutrix's house.
11.1 r. J LIMNS said
,he could not help that; these kind of
robberies were getting of very frequent, nay, daily occurrence,
and the only way to put a stop to them was by sending thvm for
trial.—The prisoner nas fully committed to take los trial.

NION-HALL.-(111-11S DAY.)
Two medical students, who gave their names Alfred Wilson
and Charles Butler, we, e charged with creating a disturbance
and breaking the windows in a gentleman's house in the Ohl
Kent-road, and assaulting the constable while in the execution
of his duty.
Police-constable 236 P, stated that the prisoners were drunk
and making a disturbance at a house in the Kent-road about
12 o'clock last night. Ho saw Wilson break two winduws,
when he went up to him to take him into custcdy, on
doing which Butler struck him, and attempted to rescue
Wilson; he sprang his rattle, and another constable came to
his assistance, and took them both to the station-house. The
