IN RE MARTIN WILLIAM ETCHER.

The insolvent in this case was the celebrated Capt.
13Qeher, the steeple-chase rider. He appeared in
Court for his final hearing, and was supported by
kr. Woodruffe.
Mr. CooKE, who appeared on behalf of Mr. Wil-
liams a farmer in Buckinghamshire, the opposing
creditor, said that his client was satisfied to allow the
Insolvent to be heard without opposition on his part.
It appeared that the insolvent had contracted what
was termed a " sporting debt," with a gentleman
named May, who resided at Denman, in Bucks, and
had made over to him a quantity of furniture, to the
value of 901. At the last hearing, the Court decided
that this should be given up for the benefit of the body
of the creditors, which now was agreed to by Mr.
Woodruffe.

No further opposition being offered to the insolvent's
Passing, he was ordered to be discharged forthwith.

-IN RE JOHN MARSHALL.
The insolvent was described as a steam-engine ma-
.,,lnifacturer, carrying on business at 6, Union-place,
Whitechapel-road. The amount of debts in the sche
dole was stated at 3,4001. He was ordered to be
discharged upon bail.

IN RE JOHN GRIGLY.
This ease had been heard frequently, and reported
in The Sun, and having stood over for judgment to
this day,
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the insolvent's con-
duct had been most fraudulent. The sentence of the
Court therefore was, that he be impris6ned at the suit
°f the opposing creditor for 18 months from the date
'3', his vesting order.

IN RE JOSHUA DUPLEX.
The insolvent, who was a member of the Society of
Friends, appeared in Court to receive judgment, and
Awas sentenced to four months' imprisonment from the
rlte of his vesting order, for fraudulently and vexa-
ously defending an action brought by the opposing
creditor.

POLICE Eli

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
James Morgan, a very respectably-dressed young
Than, was charged under the following circumstances:
.---Mrs. Elizabeth Ireland, of the Troop-hall, Fetter-
'cane, stated that as she was passing along Holborn on
Itturday evening she observed the prisoner following
he, and after she had gone a little distance she dis-
eavered that her purse was gone. She turned round,
atpd the prisoner ran away, but upon her crying out
he prisoner was stopped by an officer.
The officer stated that he searched the prisoner,
and found the purse upon him, containing 1/. 13s.
It was concealed in a false pocket inside his trousers.
The prisoner said in his defence that he had a wife
I°llo was dying, and his children were in a state of
starvation, and he was obliged to steal.
The ALDERMAN said he did not believe him, and he
Was committed to Newgate for trial.

130W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Two men, who bore the appearance of great suffer-
lpg and destitution, were placed at the bar under the
following circumstances :
Policeman F 25 stated that the prisoners came to
hint on Sunday morning, about two o'clock, in the
i?trand, and requested him to take them to the station-
-I"ase, where they might perchance obtain a little
food and shelter. Witness did as they wished him.
The prisoners were natives of Lincolnshire and
Rerefordshire, and had endeavoured to obtain work
an London, but without effect.
Mr. HALL said it was very foolish to come to Lon-
46'n, where there were thousands of people out of
Work who would be glad to get it. They should stop
in their own neighbourhood, and not, by travelling
"ay from it, entail upon parishes the expense of
*.ending them back again. The worthy Magistrate
then ordered them to be taken to the Strand Union.
A miserable looking old woman, named Ann Enny,
whom we have seen at this Court, at least 20 times,
fur the same offence, was charged with begging.
Andrews, an officer of the Mendicity Society, said
that be found the prisoner begging of a gentleman in
andthe most impudent manner, importuning him to go
see two dying infants, &c. Witness had known
r himselfg ble e.og;

son/ times„,,o.iand had caused her to be convicted
%-• nmitted her for a month.

UNION HALL.•—(THIS DAY.)
.jokre Edwards, in the service of William Chamber-
lain, a brush-maker at Newington, was charged with
robbing his employer to a lame amount.
The prisoner being suspected of purloining from the
*stack in his master's warehouse was stopped on Sa-
turday night, when a quantity of bristles were found
concealed on his person. On this discovery he made
a confession to the effect—that he had been induced
to rob his employer by a man named Jones, a coster-
ruonger, to whom he gave the property, at one-fourth
of its value.

„ Mr. Chamberlain said that the prisoner sold
utmdles of bristles valued 20s. each to the prisoner for
*zitie shilling, and the worst of the case was that the
Plunder had been carried on for a considerable time.
Mr. TRAILL remanded the prisoner, and directed
that the receiver might be taken into custody.
