INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 12.

IN RE HENRY HARDINGHAM.
The insolvent, who had been liberated upon bail
until this day, was called by the Registrar upon his
iccognizances, and not appearing,
Mr. WoonR►JFFE said he appeared on behalf of
Mr. Smith, hop merchant, of Wandsworth. This
gentleman's object originally was not so much to
came the insolvent to be remanded, as to have an in-
vestigation into certain transactions between him and
a person named Lyall, who was at present possessed
of all his property, and he (the insolvent) in order
to frustrate this, paid off the retaining creditor, and
w;-11 now at lat"ke. Under those circumstances his
client applied that the petition might not be dis-
ch ged, in order to keep the arrest still over the
insolvent, and that an assignee might be appointed.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN acceded to the first ap-
plical ion, but refuse 1 at present to appoint an

MIDDLESEX QUARTER SESSIONS
The September Sessions commenced yesterday
before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Chairman, and a bench
of Magistrates. The chief business fixed for this day
was the hearing of appeals in parochial cases.
Several which sto Id upon the paper were postponed,
the parties not being prepared, and others that were
gone into contained no new points.
SEPARATION OF CHILDREN FROM THEIR Mon-mils.
=This was the principal question ihvolved in the
case of St. Leonard, Shoredltch, against Christchurch,
Spitalfields. The latter parish had removed to St. Leo-
nard:3 workhouse, under an order from the:Magistrates,
two children, John Sullivan, aged four years, and
James Sullivan., aged 16 months, they having been
born in Long-alley, Shoreditch, which is within the
perish. Against this order the officers of St. Leo-
nard's appealed, on the ground that the children were
of tender age, and could not be separated from the
mother, whom the parish of Christchurch had power
to ::end to Ireland with her family, if she and her hus-
banfi had no settlement in that parish or elsewhere in
England.
Mr. PRENDERGAST appeared in support of the
order, and read the examination 'of the, wire, who
swore that she was born and married in Ireland.
She cEd not know where her husband was born,
but she had heard that he was born in a
.bundling hospital, and therefore had no legal
settlement. The Learned Gentleman contended
that under these circumstances the children who
'wene legitimate, belonged unquestionably to the
parish in which they were born. As to the argument
that children within the years of nurture could not
be ,separated from the mother, he read a case in which
such separation was enforced two years ago in the
Court of Queen's Bench. In that case a child of only
four months' old was separated from the mother, and
sent to Ireland.
After a very long discussion, the CHAIRMAN said
that Mr. Prendergast's argument would not serve him
ir, the Court of Queen's Bench. It was the opinion
of the Court, therefore, that the order mast be
quashed, and the parish of Christchurch take back
the children.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
BOIV-STREET.
A young man, named George Phillips, an appren-
tice, was charged with insolence, and refusing to obey
the orders of his master.
Mr. Wyld, the mapseller of Charing-cross, de-
pvkil that the prisoner was his apprentice. He had
served the greater part of his apprenticeship, and,
though witness had received no premium with him,
he vitis paying him a salary of 1/. a week. His cons
duct was generally very bad. (Mr. Wyld then pro-
ceeded to detail several acts of insubordination of a gross.
character.) He had, however, no desire to punish the
young man, if he would express his sorrow for his
conduct, and promise not to offend again.
Mr. TWIYORD said it was very improper to behave
in such a manner, and told the prisoner that he was,
liable to a very severe imprisonment in the House of.
Correction. Would he (the prisoner) promise to
obey his master in future ?—The prisoner, who
seemed very sulky, refused to answer.
311 r. 'FWYFOILD—Then I shall commit you for a

month.
Mr. Williams, of the Dispatch, who was in the
Court, here came forward, and wished to address the
Bench. Ile said he had apprenticed the young man
to Mr.Wyld, of whom he wished to ask a few questions.
Mr. TWYFORD said the case was disposed of. He
could not see what right Mr. Williams had to interfere.
Mr. Williams warmly—Well, I've been in a good
many Courts of Justice, but I'll be hanged if ever I
.saw such justice as this. It's monstrous.
Mr. TWYFOILD—Do you mean those remarks to ap-
ply to me, Sir ? If you don't take care what you are
3.11012.4 I shall commit you as well as the prisoner.
Mr Williams—Oh no ; I was not speaking to your
Worship, I was only speaking- to a friend.
Mr. 'nvyroun—lt's well for you that you did not.
I commit tie prisoner for a month.
Shortly atl'erwards Mr. Wyld applied to the Bench
to have the sentence commuted, and at his earnest
desire Mr. Twyti,,rd altered the term of imprisonment
from a month to seven da3,'-s.
MA..7YLEBONE.
Sannzel 0; den, a powarful man, about twenty-five
years of age, was brought up on a charge of assault.
Daniel Ormond, 15, Beaumont-buildings, Maryle-
hone, was returning home from a friend's this morning
about one o'clock, when he heard a female scream
"Murder," and hurrying to the place saw prisoner
. strike a girl and kick her. Tie (witness) interfered,
and received two violent blows on the•face, he then-
fore run for a policeman, with whose assistance pri-
soner was secuved, but not without offering a great
<teal of resistance.
Sarah Allen statad that while she and another girl,
Sarah Wilson, were hurrying along the street, pri-
soner came up and assaulted them in an indecent
manizer ; they resisted and screamed out, when with
his cleoched fist he struck witness on the head, knock-
ing her down. Her screams at last brought the pre-
ceding w.ltness and a policeman,
when the prisoner
' was secure d.
Mr. RAw.larssoN fined him Os. for each assault, or
six weeks in the House of Correction.
UNION-HALL.
THE LATY. CONSPIRACY AT BRISTOL.
The Court wls very much crowded this morning,
in consequence o f its being the day appointed for the
E.:Lamination of A nn Bryers and Mary Ann Morgan,
the two young fern Iles who have rendered themselves
so notorious in the Ite matrimonial hoax, successfull3,
practised on Mr. Woo.ley, the Bristol timber-merchant'.
In the course of the :morning, it was intimated that
Mr. Woolley did not i.i.tend to be present to proceed
any farther against the .accused parties, and this was
borne out by the fact that: he had already commenced
proceedings against Mary Ann Morgan in the Eccle-
siastical Court to obtain a elivorce, that person having
been served with a cit.-dice- from Doctors Commons
while in gaol, the precediaK'daY. One o'clock being

WORSHIP-s TR. F.:ET.
Joseph Cat `chpole, a young mat of respectable ap-
pearance, was charged with having • been found drunk
in the streets.

Police-constable 20 N, stated that at about four •
o'clock this morning he found the defendant lying on
the road in Kingsland. He aroused him, when de-
fendant stated that he had been robbed of his watch
and of four sovereigns. The guard of his watch was
broken, and had evidently been forced.
The defendant, who, it appears, kept a draper's
shop, stated that he had no recollection how he had
lost his property. He had driven in a cab to a public
house at about twelve o'clock at night, he beimg at
the time intoxicated, and had no recollection of what
had happened after, until found by the constable.
Inspector Pritchard stated that the police had dis-
covered that a number of persons had been drinking
in the public-house in question at as late an hour as
three o'clock in the morning; and the matter was
about to be brought before the Commissioners.
The Magistrate, under those circuvnstances, de-
clined to call the publican in evidence.
The defendant was fined 55., and discharged.
