INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 9.

The Court, after disposing of a number of town
awl country bail cases, proceeded with the deferred
motion.
IN TILE MATTER OF HENRY LEE ALLEYNE, ALIAS

CHARD.

This case stood over from last Wednesday, when
Mr. Cooke read a number of voluminous affidavits
and other documents for the purpose of inducing the
Court to g: ant a rule ordering the Leicester and
Warwickshire Banking Company, who were alleged
to be indebted to the insolvent in the sum of 10,0001.,
to pay the same into the assignees of this Court for
the benefit of his creditors, and calling upon a gen-
tleman named Needham, who was also a debtor to
Alleyno for 3,0001., to do the same.
Mr. WOODRUFFE opposed the rule on behalf of
Mr. Dempster Hemming, the eminent banker of
Caldicott Hall, in Warwickshire, and was occupied
during the greater part of the day in reading
affidavits to establish the fact that the insolvent
had no real proprietorship in either of the abOve
sums, but merely acted as agent to Mr. Hem-
ming, with respect to the sum of 3,0001., as trus-
tee for Mrs. Hernmiug (the insolvent's sister), in the
case of the 10,0001. Prom the extent and close de-
tails of the several affidavits it is utterly impossible
to do more than give a brief outline of the statements
in the two principal papers—those of the insolvent and
Mr. Dempster Hemming. The former stated that
his father had been a shipowner at Lyme Regis, and
got him a situation in 1819 in the Coast Guard Ser-
vice, from which he retired on a pension of 681. in
1836, and by successfully speculating on the Stock
•Exchange, with a loan of 2,000/., realised sufficient to
support him independently, and after his bankruptcy,
being denied his certificate, he was induced to change
his name, not with a view to fraud, but that it might
not interfere with his Stock Exchange transactions.
After several details with regard to the marriage of
his sister with Mr. Dempster Hemming, he proceeded
to state, that upon her marriage in December, 1839,
he was appointed joint-trustee with Mr. John Powell
over the sum of 10,0001., which was paid out of
the bank of Glyn, Halifax, and Company, and subse-
quently transferred. With respect to the sum of Hem-
ming, that, with other large sums of money, was entirely
for the use of Mr. Hemming, and saving him from the
effects of an apprehended bankruptcy, which hung over
the Leicester and Warwickshire Bank, and by which
he (Mr. Hemming) lost nearly 3,0001., and who had
likewise property involved to the amount of 157,000/.
The principal points in Mr. Dempster Hemming's
affidavit were, that until last April he was not aware
the insolvent or his (Mr. Hemming's) wife ever went
by the name of Chard, and that if so, he should have
been chary in alloying him to act as trustee, or
the holder of such large sums of money ; but he felt
bound to state, in the strongest and most em-
phatic terms, that the conduct of the insolvent
had been of the strictest and most honourable
nature towards him, and he also attributed to
his talents and business-like habits, the fact of his
(Mr. Hemming's) escaping so well from the difficul-
ties with which he was surrounded in relation to his
connexion with the Leicester and Warwickshire
Banking Company. The Learned Counsel then read
several other affidavits, and concluded a long argu-
ment by saying that the Court must be satisfied -the
insolvent was the bona fide owner of the money be-
fore the rule moved for could be granted, otherwise a
grievous injustice would be done td Mr. Dempster

Hemming.
Mr. CooKE, for the creditors, contended, that under
the 89th section of the Act, the rule should be granted,
and_ cited several cases to show that where any
party knowingly, or by implication, allowed another
to assume a reputed ownership, he must take the con -

sequence.
Mr. Commissiener Timms, after a few observa-
tions, ordered the rule to be discharged without costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
BOW-STREET.

A fashionably-dressed young mm, named Ed-
mund Dash, described as a linendraper's shopman,
was brought up, charged with stealing a cornelian,
value 10s., and a card-case and counters, value 251.,
the property of Mr. Frederick Helm, herald chaser, of
Long--acre, and Maria Robinson was charged with
abetting the felony.
After a lengthened examination, from which no new
facts were elicited (the particulars of which have
already appeared in The Sun), the Magistrate com-
mitted both prisoners-for trial.
The prisoner Dash said it is a very hard case, when
a lady chooses to give me anything, that I am to be
charged with felony.
Mr. TWYFORD—You must take the consequences
of the law.

Dash—The lady came to me, I did not go to her.
. • -

Mr. TWYFORD:I commit you both for trial.
MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Mr. William Black, of Lansdowne Cottage, Isling-
ton, summoned William Rhodes, the driver, of one of
Hardwick's Hammersmith omnibuses, before Mr.
Maltby, for abusive language.
The complainant, an elderly gentleman, stated that
he got into the defendant's vehicle at the Mansion-
house, intending to go as far as Hyde Park-corner.
It was then a little past eleven o'clock in the morn-
ing, and the defendant at that tithe was acting as
conductor. The omnibus proceeded at a snail pace,
sometimes just moving on, and sometimes not moving
at all. In this way the omnibus performed the whole
distance to Down-street, Piccadilly, notwithstanding
repeated remonstrances from complainant. When at
Down-street witness was let out, and he was then as-
sailed by the grossest abuse from the defendant, who
had changed places, and was then driving. The ob-
ject of first acting as conductor, and then taking the
place of driver, was evidently to baffle any proceedings
that might be contemplated for loitering on the road.
Mr. Black here repeated the language used towards
him. It was of the most filthy and disgusting cha-
racter, and appliel so profusely, that Mr. Black wrote
it down within half an hour after it had been uttered,
in order to speak with certainty to the precise words
used by the defendant.

Air.-MALTnvinqdred how long the driver was in
going the distance from the Mansion-house to Down-
street ? Mr. Black said upwards of an hour and a
half. This is about three times as long as an ordi-
nary pedestrian would require to do the distance.

A Police-sergeant came forward and corroborated
Mr. Black's statement respecting the slow pace at
which the defendant was driving along Piccadilly.
The defendant denied the charge of bad language.
With respect to driving slow, it was always the cus-
tom for omnibuses not to be in a hurry on Sundays.
The usual time was one hour, from the Mansion-house
to Piccadilly, and drivers were not particular to a few
minutes more.

To rebut the charge of bad language the defendant
called a witness who was outside the omnibus at the
time. 'This witness merely said he did not hear any
abuse given.
Mr. MALTBY said he was fully satisfied of the en-
tire truth of Mr. Black's statement. It was impos-
sible to conceive a snore flagrant outrage than that
which the defendant had committed on a respectable
gentleman, by applying to him i❑ the public streets
language so disgraceful and disgusting. He (Mr.
Maltby) felt it to be his duty to protect the public
as far as possible against such conduct, and he should,
therefore, inflict the highest penalty the law permitted,
without listening for a moment to any application for

mitigation. The fine of 31. and expenses was inflicted
and paid.

WOR SHIP- STREET.

Richard Fennell, a young man of respectable ap-
pearanee, was charged with having uttered a bill of
exchange for 981. 10s., bearing a forged indorsement,
with intent to defraud Mr. Win. Cluff, a silk-manu-
facturer in Steward-street, Spitalfields.
Mr. Clarkson attended as counsel, and Mr. Hobler
as solicitor for the prosecution ; and Mr. Chadwick
Jones defended the prisoner.
Mr. Clarkson briefly detailed the facts of the case,
and called _ _

Mr. Wm. Cluff, who stated that on the 3d or 4th
of August last the prisoner called upon him, and pro-
duced two bills for 1501. and 981. 10s., which he re-
quested him to discount. The prisoner said that he
received the bills from a person named Knight, and
on examining them, witness observed that one of
them, amongst- other indorsements, bore that of
Messrs. Worthington and Son, manufacturers in Man-
chester. Witness refused to discount the bills, un-
less time were allowed him to make inquiries respect-
ing the indorsers; but the prisoner declined leaving
them with him for that purpose, and went away. A
few days afterwards the prisoner applied to him again
to discount the bill for 98/. 10s., and stated that
he had received a letter from Messrs. Worthing-
ton, acknowledging that the endorsement was
theirs, but that he had forgotton to bring
the letter with him, and would show it
to him when they next met. Upon the faith of his
assertion witness consented to discount the bill, and
he gave the prisoner 39/. 103. in cash, with an over
due bill and other securities, which he had previously
received from him, to make up the amount. The
prisoner afterwards sent him a written paper, contain-
ing the names and addresses of the ostensible in-
dorsers, but as he failed to produce the letter from
Messrs. Worthington., witness wrote to those gentle-
men on the subject, and received an answer, in which
they denied all knowledge of the matter. He after-
wards wrote to the other firms whose names were in-
dorsei on the bill, and having received similar answers,
he gave the prisoner into custody.
After a lengthened investigation, Mr. BROUGHTON
said that the charge was of so serious a nature, that if
he took bail at all, he should require two sureties in
' 2001. each.—The prisoner was then remanded.

THE CASE of CAPTAIN DOUGLAS.

The case of Captain Archibald Douglas, of the
49th Madras Native Infantry, apprehended as a de-
serter, having excited considerable interest in military
circles, we shall briefly call attention to the facts.
Captain Douglas, in the spring of this year, had
leave upon sick certificate to proceed to the Neilgher-
rie Hills, and which leave was subsequently extended
to 31st of March, 1843. In June last he ascertained
that upon private information the Advocate-General
had filed several criminal informations against him for
malversation in his capacity as Political Resident at
Tanjore ; and, therefore, with the view of consulting
his friends in England, and obtaining the best legal
advice as to the most expedient course to be pursued
in meeting the charges, he determined to avail him-
self of his unexpired leave, and repair to this coun-
, try; but knowing the difficulty he would have to
encounter in embarking from India in his own name,
he assumed that of Jackson. Oa landing he took
his proper name, and under it actually presented him-
' self at the East India House, and transacted business.
During his voyage, it appears, many coalman ica
tions from the Government of Madras reached Lea-
denhall-street, notifying the fact of the criminal in-
formation having been filed, and the report that Capt.
Douglas had quitted the Neilgherrie station without
leave. _ _

The Court of Directors accordingly, under the ad-
vice of their counsel, decided on arresting Captain
Douglas as a deserter, and, as shown by the proceed-
ings at Marlborough-street police-office, that officer
has been committed to Tothill-fields prison. A re-
port, as prescribed by the Mutiny Act, has been made
by the Magistrate to the Secretary-at-War; all the
East India troops while in the United Kingdom beinz,
as regards the administration of civil law, under that
Minister, the same as her Majesty's forces.
It remains now to be seen how far, under the cir-
cumstances described, the Secretary-at-War and his
advisers may deem Capt. Douglas's absence from the
place to which his leave was nominally limited, and
that leave not having expired, as an act of desertion;
more especially as it can be shown that his object was
,to return to the Neilgherries previous to the expira-
tion of such leave, and for which purpose there is still
ample time.
The case of this officer is in all respects peculiar,
and, as far as our recollection goes, without a prece-
dent. The last instance (Feb. 1836) of a Commis-
sioned Officer in her Majesty's service being adver-
tised as a deserter, is that of Paymaster Read, of the
68th Foot; but in his case there was an aliknovv-
ledged defalcation of public money to a large amount,
and he absconded when not on leave. We have
heard that at Bangalore an officer was tried by a
Court-martial, in or about 1838, on several charges—
' cane for desertion, he having gone far beyond the
place to which his leave was granted.
In more recent instances of officers absent on
leave in Great Britain, proceeding to the Continent
without the express permission of the Commander-
in-Chief, they have been called upon for special ex-
planation, and they.have been severely reprimanded
when the explanation has not been deemed sufficient;
but in no instance that we can hear of, has it been
ever contemplated by the Horse Guards, that such
encroachment on leave should subject an officer to be
. charged as a deserter. The proper course would be,
to supersede an officer for having obtained leave under
false pretences.
It would seem, therefore, that the harsh proceed-
ings against Captain Douglas have been adopted, not
to punish the offence against military discipline, so
much as to enable the East India Company to retain
him in military custody, with the view to ulterior
proceedings of a civil character at Madras.
If the present matter can be drawn into a prece-
dent much inconvenience may arise—for instance, any
officer crossing over to Boulogne for a few hours be-
comes a deserter.—Naval and Military Gazette.

POACHERS and the CORN-LAWS.
(From the Toe Mercury.)
We were not at all surprised to read the other day
in a Contemporary paper, The Sun, an account of an
extraordinary combat between game-keepers and
poachers, and we were pleased at the mode in which
our Contemporary made it useful as a subject of re
mark for present purposes, and also, let us not forget
to observe, for the benefit of mankind in general. We
will carry his doctrine further than he did himself. We
will say not only that the landholders ought to give up
all their preserves, but that, if they are sincere, they
ought to forego their fox-covers into the bar-
gain. They see the people of the empire
famishing before their eyes. There are hundreds
of thousands of acres just now laid down as fox-covers,
for the pleasure of the gentry of the country, and yet
they complain of their rents. All this land ought to
be cultivated ! It is well knov, n that the fox-hunting
gentry will not allow a fox to be dislodged, killed, or
in any way injured—that they will cut a gentleman
who has a breed of foxes on his estates if he should
kill them, or kill any of them—that their amusemen.
must be kept up, no matter what may become of the
rest of the community. It would be rather- an odd,
thing if their tenants should some of those days
happen to hunt them ! Twenty years ago we
noticed many of those fox-covers which would
have made excellent farms, and they are, we be-
lieve, far more numerous since; why then not exter-
minate the foxes and put the land into good corn
cultivation ? The only answer that can he made is,
that the nobles and gentry must have their amuse-
ment ! A most remarkable answer to the multitude
who are crying out for bread! The Church is de-
stroying itself by its endeavouring to take more power
than it ought to possess; the land is destroying itself
by claiming privileges to which it has no possible
right ; in short, every interest must finally bring
itself to utter ruin when it knows and evinces that it
cannot work honestly and faithfully to itself. It is
monstrous to see four or five men, or seven or eight
men, as the case may be, fighting in deadly combat
on account of the death of certain partridges, rabbits,
and we know not what. This is even worse than the
Corn-laws. The wild animals are nourished from the
vitals of the people, and yet the people are not allowed
to shoot them or to snare them. As long as the Corn-
law subject remains in abeyance, the people ought to
act on this question ; we mean they ought legally to
act, and if they were now and then to argue the matter
in aid of some poor poacher, we do not think it would
be much amiss ; not that we would say it should be a
murdering or a robbing poacher; but, let it he re-
membered that, whatever crime poaching produces,
the landowner is himself to blame.

FUNERAL. OF THE LATE MR. SERGEANT SPANKIE.
—The mortal remains of this lamented gentleman were
yesterday removed from Russell-square for interment
in the catacombs of the Kensall-green Cemetery. The
funeral procession consisted of a hearse drawn by four
horses and three mourning coaches, preceded by two
mutes and a handsome plume of feathers. The first
coach contained three sons of the deceased, and Mr.
Inglis, his brother-in-law. The second was occupied
by Lord Campbell (with whom the deceased was on
the most intimate terms, though differing widely in
political principles), Mr. Sergeant Atcherlev,and two
other friends of the deceased. In the third coach rode
Mr. Ell s, Mr. Turner (the medical attendant), and
two other gentlemen. The private carriages of Lord
Campbell, Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Mr. Sergeant
Atcherley, inid several others belonging to members
of the bar, closed the procession.
