HAMERTON V. HAMERTON.

Dr. LUSHINOTON again moved, that the conclu-
sion of this cause might be rescinded, for the admis-
sion of a further allegation on behalf of the husband,
setting forth additional facts to prove adultery com-
mitted by Mrs. Hamerton at Paris. He grounded
his motion on an affidavit of Major Hamerton, stat-
ing, that during the residence of Mrs. Hamerton in
the Rue Neuve St. Augustine, in that city, she had
been visited by Mr. Bushe, and that the additional
facts led to the conclusion that adultery had been
committed by them, which facts had recently come
to his knowledge.
The COURT declined rescinding the conclusion at
present. The motion might stand over till next
Court-day, to give time to the other party to read
the affidavits, when they might be heard in oppo-
sition.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 28.

Richard Jackson was opposed, on his application
to be discharged, by Mr. D. PoLtocx, on behalf of
Messrs. Wilmot, Goodall, and Ce. bankers, of
Coventry.
The insolvent, who is upwards of 80 years of age,
stated that his son banked with the opposing cre-
ditors for several years to a considerable amount.
In the beginning of last year, his son was applied to
by Messrs. Wilmot and Co. for 3001. they having,
as they stated, a demand against him to that amomit.
He disputed this debt, but the creditors said, that
if the insolvent would give: a promissory note for
3001. he should hear no further about it, and he con-
sequently did so, on his son assigning over his pro-
perty to him, which lie valued at 500/. Shortly,
after this the insolvent was arrested, and was com-
mitted to Warwick gaol, having antecedently dis-
posed of the property assigned to him by his son,
for 2801., and with that sum paid several creditors.
After remaining four months in Warwick gaol he
bailed out, and sold his stock in trade as a farmer
for 1701., and after paying a few trifling debts, ex •
pended the residue for his support ; and in Novem-
ber last, surrendered to the King's Bench PrisOn
in discharge of his bail. The only creditors of any
consequence in the insolvent's schedule were the
opposers. . . .

Mr. POLLOCK handed in several affidavits, from
which it appeared, that on the insolvent's son as-
signing his property to his father, it was valued at
.500/., and in a month after only produced 2001, and
consequently the auctioneer was of opinion that some
had been concealed.

The CHIEF COMMISSIONER Was clearly of opinion
that a case of fraudulent making away with property
had been established, and ordered the insolvent to
be remanded for 10 calendar months.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday last an
Inquest was held at the Roebuck, Great Dover-road, on
the body of Mr. James Barfoot, a student of medicine be-
longing to one of the Borough Hospitals. who destroyed
himself by taking prussic acid. It was proved on evidence
that he was subject at times to fits of nervousness and
despondency, the Jury therefore returned fur verdict
that " the deceased had destroyed himself by taking prussic
acid, being at the time in an unsound state of mind."

On Thursday last a case of gross outrage %las
investigated at Lincoln, which is likely to prove of serious
consequence to the party implicated. A youth, named
' Robert Fish, a labourer in Eustgate, was chervil by Mary
Ruston, a young woman in the service of Captain Lucas,
whose house is a short distance from the town on the mid
to Nettleliam, with a violent assault. 'I he assault took
place on the previous Monday night last, the complulnant
fciing from home fetching beer from the Dolphin public-
house ; and the watchman and others who ran to the spot,
on heariag her cries, were in time to see the fellow escap-
ing in a very suspicious condition. He was fib), corn-
mitind to the city gaol for the ensuing Assizes, on a charge
of " violently assaulting" the complainant. The young
woman is about 23 years of age.---Boston Gazette.
A DELICATE SPECIMEN OF TORY SENSI-
BILITY.—At the Annual Meeting of a Benevolent Society,
held in Denbighshire a few days ago, and comprising
wriongst its members tl.e leading gentlemen of the county,
it was proposed to nominate his Royal Highness the Duke
of Sussex as Patron of the Institution—a feeling- prompted
by the liberal, kind, and condescending manner in which
his Royal Highness contributed to the eclat of the late
Eistedd-forl at Denbigh, &c. A Tory, from an English
county, at present vegetating in Wales, eonnutio foil:cuts
stabili, took alarm at the intimation, and whispertsl to his
neighbour, who was to bring forward the 'notion, that it
was more than his finely attuned Tory sensibility could
endure, to hear the nomination of such a Whig Patron,
&c., and he, therefore, begged to receive a hint before the
thing came on, in order that he might leave the room pro
tern pore, which he accordingly did. It is to be observed
that there were several other high Tories in the room, who
haul, however, sufficient nerve to hear the awful sound
without emotion ; but they were gentlemen of long stand-
ing in the county, endued with native bravery, and conse-
quently, not at all likely to follow the example of their
nouveau renu ranaway.—Morning Chronicle.
