EXCHEQ.UER.—(TIIIS DAY.)
IN RE —, AN ATTORNEY.
Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW applied to the Court to know in
what manner he should frame an application to bring under the
notice of the Court the conduct of an attorney who had ap-
peared for the defendant in a horse case, which had been
tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge at the Gloucester Assizes.
A witness had been subpoenaed en the part of the plaintiff,
for the purpose of proving the hand-writing of the defendant.
I he witness, however, had absconded on the night before the
trial. The plaintiff then subecened the attorney for the de-
fendant, with a view either to prove the hand-writing or to
have some light thrown upon the absence of the witness.
After this proceeding had been taken the 4nd- writing of the de-
fendant was admitted ; the attorney ►vas not therefore, examined,
and a verdict was found fur the plaintiff. Suspicion had, in
the mean time, been excited that the witness had been im-
properly tampered with. It was found that, on the evening
before the trial. he had been in company with the de-
tendant's attorney, and some friends of his, and
that he hail afterwards travelled home with them.
An affidavit from the witness himself was now produced, is
which he stated, that the attorney for the defendant, and
another party, had prevailed on him net to make his appearance
on the trial. They urged on him that he ought
not to give evidence against the defendant who had
been a former friend of his; and the defendant's attorney gave
' the deponent a written security that he should be indemnified
for- any inconvenience lie might incur by absenting himself.
The security in qt:estion was produced, and was to the effect,
" that the attoreey for the defendant undertook to indemnify
the witness for any damage lie might sustain by reason of his
going away from Uloucester as he was not a material witness."
The Learned Counsel having stated that he felt somewhat
at a loss to determine what was the particular nature of the
application which he should make under those circumstances,
some discussion took place upon the subject. It was finally
arranged that he should take a rule to show cause why the at-
torney should nut be struck off the rolls.—Rule accordingly.

INSOLVENT CO URT-(THIS,DA Y.)
IN RE STEPFIEN TURNER.
The insolvent's petition to be discharged was Opposed in
person by a creditor, named Egan.
It appeared that he carried on bukitiess as a corn•dealer in
the Harrow-road, and about eighteen months ago bought a
horse from the opposing creditor for 501: Some altercatio❑
having arisen betwei:n them about the wareantry of the horse, the
insolvent refused to pey a balance (251.) remaining dUe of the
price, when an action was brought for its recovery, and a verdict
given for the plaintiff, and the insolvent soon afterwards taken
in execution.
The ground of oprosition was, that the insolvent had vex .
atiously defended the action, and thereby put the opposing
creditor to unnecessary expense.
After several witnesses had been examined in support of the
petition, the insolvent was ordered to be discharged forthwith.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
George Emerson, a stalwart powerful young man, son of the
Mrs:Emerson, late landlady of the Waterford Arms Tavern, in
the Haymarket, was placed at the bar, charged on suspicion of
being concerned in the following robbery. A solicitor attended
on behalf of the accused.
Mr. Evan Thomas, the landlord of the Phenix public-house,
in Stacey-street, Soho-square, stated that between four and
five yesterday afternoon the prisoner and another man 'came
to his house, and having entered his variant', where there was a
bagatelle-board, calved for some refneilithent, which on being
served with, the prisoner's companion, as a ruse to lull suspi-
cion, made inquiry after a respectable tradesman who fre-
quented the house, but whom there is no doubt he well knew
was not likely to be there at that hour, which he followed up
by requesting that the prisoner and • himself might be allowed
to play a game or two at the board, to which witness, not then
having the slightest suspicion but that they were respectable
persons, assented, and brought them in the set of balls (9 ivory
ones) of the value of between 12s. and 14s. They played for
about a quarter of an hour, and then suddenly came to the
bar, and paying their score, let the house together. From their
manner witness was induced to suspect that alt was not right,
and on going into the parlour found the set of balls missing.
Ile instantly followed after the prisoner and his companion,
and saw them lorning the corner of a street at about fifty
yards distance, and on running in tha, direction came up with
the priscr.er, but his companion had made off. On the prisoner
being searched at the station-house, the missing property was
found in his possession.
The prisoner protested that he knew nothing of the robLery ;
tf:e man was quite a stranger, and had merely met him in the
street and asked him to play a game of bagwelle with him.
Mr. MALTBY said the case was .a very clear one, and he
should certainly commit the prisoner for trial.
The Solicitor scud that h.s cli. nt ought to have the benefit
of his previous good character, and this being the first time of
his having been. charged with any offence.
Inspector •Beresford, of the C division, said that the prisoner
had long hem known to the police ns leading a very dissolute
and irregular life, and from information iliatim (the inspector)
had received he had no doubt but that charges of a more serious
nature would be brought against him.
The prosecuto.• said that he had no doubt but that the pri-
soner's companion, who was known, would be shortly appre-
hended.
Mr. MALTBY said that, under those cireumstances, he should
remand the prisoner until Wednesday next.

UNION-HA LI4.—(T HiS DAY.)
siNGuLAR, APPLICATION.—A respectable-looking middle-
aged female applied for the Magistrate's advice under the fol-
lon•ing circumstances :.—The applicant stated that a year ago,
being a widow, she was stay:ng at Boulogne, and met with a
person of kautlemanly appearance, an Englishman, who de-
scribed himself to be a man of property, and to have just finished
the grand tour. He made overtures of marriage, which, after
a short courtship, took place, and they returned to London. At
that period she was possessed of a coosidt rale sum of money,
which he soon squandered, and she then di,covered that he not
only was not possessed of a penny in the world, but that he hail
another wife living near Newport-market, who was in a state of
great distress. A few days ego while she (appleant) was from
home, the prisoner took advantage of her absence, and carried
off a considerable quantity of her furniture.
The Magistme said, that if the applicant's Vat.ment was
true, all she had to do was to give the person in custody for
bigamy or robbery.

night, she was proceeding along Chi istopher-street, Bethnal.
green, whim she was suddenly assailed by the prisoner and ano-
ther man, the former of whom caught her up in his arms, and
carried her into one of the houses. She struggled to extri-
' cafe herself from his grasp, hut the prisoner succeeded in
forcing her into a room on the ground-floor, where he threw
her down and completed his infamous purpose. The other man
was afterwards about to proceed to a similar act of violence, but
he was prevented by the entrance of a policeman.
Police constable H, 74, stated that he was passing the house
when he heard the noise of a violent struggle inside, and on
making his way into the room whence it proceeded, he found
the prosrcutrix, who was much agitated and exhausted, and
who charged the prisoner with having committed a rape upon
her. Another man was present, who effected his escape, but I
he secured the prisoner alter a violent resistance.

party) was committed for trial.

CLERK.ENWELL-(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Lryden was charged by Patrick Savage, the proprie-
tor of a tailoring establishment, in Newry, Ireland, who came
to London a few days ago to learn the newest method of cutting
out. It would appear that he was taught it completely. Being
intoxicated on Monday night, he rnet the prisoner, who took
him to Church lane, St. Giles's, where he was robbed of
every farthing he possessed, 3td. Police constable
Restaux arrested the prisoner on Wednesday, who acknow.
'edged having been an accomplice in the robbery. 41. of the
money was found on her person, as well as a number of recent
purchases. Savage, however, was most unwilling to identify
her. He lodged at .11Ir. Thorpe's Hotel, in Holborn, who lent
him sonic articles of dress on yesterday, that he might attend
at the police-office, and further the ends of justice. Mr. Sa-
vage, however, thought otherwise, and walked off, leaving Mr.
Thorpe minus 31. for board, &c., and his dresi.
The prisoner was remanded.

At the sitting of the Committee to-day Mr. John Wrenot
'n,)w famous a's a witness, was recalled.
He said-1 saw Mr. Whitmarsh at the Wheat. sheaf. Sel
caked him for his vote. He said, you shall have it for 201., and
I promised him the money.
Mr. Sergeant. SHEA— When you returned to the CO'
j mittee-room. did you communicate to the persons there thei
sub.tance of the inte: view with Whi:mar,h ? Wane:is-4
must decline to answer this question, as I fear it may tend to
crimimee me.
The Counsel in-iNted that the question must be answered.
The Committee ordered the room to be cleared, and lA°
the doors were opened, the Chairman told Mr. Wren to use
h:s own discre,ion.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA now repeated the qnestion.
Mr. Wrenn repeated his answer, which was that he de'
dined answering.
Mr. .Sergeant Strea —What did you say to Whitmarsll9
Mr. Wrenn &live' ed an answer to the effect that the intervieo
was so very shOrt, that he could not say, and moreover he
must decline to answer. He must also decline to name
persons that were in the Labit of visiting the Committee-,
rooms, but the Learned Counsel might have a general idea 0'
the visitors from the fact that they compromised all therespeet"
able Conservatives of Sonthampton.—( Laughter. )
You put the figure 54 after the name of the voter Redman?
Wittiess—l den's recollect.
Will you swear you did not ?—I don't recollect.
Will you swear that you did not put down 201. after th:
name of another voter ?—I will not. I ean'trecollect, and;
decline to answer the question.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA—But what did they say to you in the
Committee-room—come, come, now ?—Mr. Wren (after a long
retrospective pause) well, to the best o: my recollection, they
told me to retire.—( Laughter. )
Mr. Sergeant SHEA—But can't you tell us what Mr. Mackay;
said to you about the money ?—I can't.
Was it not said that tile money would be sent to you in th!
evening?—S.miething of that kind might have been said, but I
cannot distinctly remember.
Did you not say you wanted 901. ?—I can't positively re'
collect. •
Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Answer the question.
Mr. Wren—Hearty these questions are coming so near hornet
that I must decline to answer them.—(Laughter.)
The question was pressed, the room was cleared, and the
Committee dacided that Mr. Wren must answer the question'
he then said he believed he handed into the Committee it
Snithampton a list, in which he required not 901., but -he'
tween 501. and 601.
