INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 5.

IN RE .7. E. CARE'.
This case was again brought on this morning, and the whole
of the examination having been concluded on the previous
hearing of the case,

Mr.-PLATT said he had the honour to appear before the
Court that day on behalf of the executors of the late Earl of
Egremont, who had felt it to be their duty to appear before that
Court upon the application of Mr. Carew for his discharge, for
the purpose of rectifying his schedule. It would seem that Mr.
Carew, somewhere about the year 1823, being at that time an as-
sistant to Sir R. Westmacott, had attracted the attention of the
Earl of Egremont, who was desirous of befriending him.
It would seem that in consequence of this he changed his resi-
dence a few years afterwards to Brighton, and that from time
to time he performed works either at Brighton, in London, or
at Petworth, for the Noble Earl, and he (Mr. Carew) was en-
gaged upon some of these works in art at the decease of the
Earl. During the whole of that time it was quite impossible to
conceive that Mr. Carew did not from time to time receive mo-
nies from the Noble Earl. But it seemed that upon the occasion
of the decease of the testator, Mr. Carew had conceived notions
that some provision would have been made for him, and in con-
sequence of which disappointment was created in his mind,
It would seem that at that time he (Mr. Carew) was in peculiar
difficulty, and indeed it was difficult, in adverting to the evi-
dence already before the Court, to find any period of time in
which Mr. Carew did not appear to have been in such difficul-
ties, because, at no time, it would seem, that he was possessed
of any property not incumbered with a mortgage. It would
seem throughout, from the beginning, that he was a
man not in very affluent circumstances , and, therefore, not
very likely to expend his time without remuneration. It
seemed that after the death of the Earl of Egremont, Mr.
Carew saw General Wyndham, one of the sans of the late
Earl, and in consequence of what took place between them a
le ter was addressed to Col. Geo. Wyndham respecting the
house at Petworth. The:Learned Counsel then read several
letters, which had been addressed by Mr. Carew to General
Wyndham, relative to the transactions which took place
between the late Earl and 31r. Carew, and also
several letters relative to the various accounts sent
in to the executors since the death of the 'Earl.
Afier which he proceeded to comment upon the different
items—the bill of particulars, as furnished by 'Mr. Carew to
the executors, and contended that the statue of Mr. Huskisson,
which it was alleged had been executed by the order orthe
Earl of Egremont, was a private speculation of Mr. Carew's,
and that he relied for payment upon the result of public sub-
cription, and his Lordship was no further concerned in the
matter than at a person upon whose judgment thole subscribers
were likely to rely.
The Learned Gentleman then commented on the facts es d&-
tailed in the evidence, when
Mr. CooKE then addressed the Court on behalf of the in-
solvent, when

The Learned CHIBF COMMISSIONER said the facts of the
case were so complicated as to preclude him eying judgment
at present, and therefore it should be deferred until the return
of his Learned Colleague from circuit, which he (the Learned
Commissioner) thought would be about Monday week.

appeared for the prisoner Hodsell, and Mr. Payne for Streeter.
It appeared from the evidence, that both the prisoners were
employed in the service of the prosecutor, who was a butcher ;
that being sent out with a cart full of meat on the day in ques-
tion, the prosecutor followed, and observed the cart stop at
Streeter's house. He went up and asked Hodsell what he was
stopping for; the prisoner made no reply, and went on with the
cart. Streeter soon after came out of the house with a bundle
in his hand, which on being opened proved to contain a piece of
beef, which the prosecutor identified as his property. Prose-
cutor then zsked the prisoner, Streeter, where he got it, and he
replied that he had it from Hodsell, to whom the prosecutor
stated he had given it a day or two previous for the purpose of
being salted. •
The Learned Counsel severally addressed the Jury on behalf
of their clients, and witnesses were called to character. • -
,Mr. Justice CitesswELL summed up, and • -
The Jury, after a short deliberat.on, Acquitted both the
prisoners.

NEW COURT.
Thomas Hill, a marine store dealer, was charged with felo-

niously receiving, on the 21st of January last, 561bs. of lead,
value 93... the property of the Guardians of the Poor of the
Barnet Union.
Mr. HOWARTH, who conducted the prosecution, having de..
scribed the position of the lead which was stolen from the roof
of the Barnet workhouse, and afterwards found in the posses-
sion of the prisoner, proceeded to state the facts of the case,
which were briefly these. The lead having been missed from
the roof of the workhouse, the parish authorities caused
the prisoner's cart to be searched as it was crossing
Finchley-common on the 21st of January. Previous
to the search, the police-officers asked the prisoner what he had
in his cart ; the prisoner answered " iron," and upon being
asked if he had anything else, he replied "nothing." The
officers then searched the cart, and found a quantity of iron,
and 240 lb. of lead in a bag. The Learned Counsel was pro-
ceeding with the case when he was stopped by
The CoasasoN SERGEANT, who said he was afraid the
Learned Counsel could not sustain the indictment. If the pri-
soner had been indicted as a thief, he should have instructed
the Jury that the probability was, (the lead having been found
in the prisoner's possession so short a time after it had been
missed) that the prisoner had stolen it; but he could not as-
sume that the prisoner had received it.
The COMMON SERGEANT then instructed the Jury accord-
ingly, and they returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SHOPMAN.—John Richard,
aged 31, who was described in the calendar as a draper, and
Mary Welsford, aged 19, who was described as a " spinster,"
were indicted, the former with stealing at different times 4.1,4
yards of kerseymere and other articles, the property of John
Hopkins and others, his masters; and the latter with felo-
"niously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been
stolen. The male prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ballantine
appeared for the prisoner Welsford.
The Learned Counsel, in opening the case, stated the pri-
soner

Wm. Carpenter, a pawnbroker, who produced a piece of
broad-cloth and 19 handkerchiefs, which had been pawned at
witness's shop, by the female prisoner, on Jan. 14th and 18th.
Police Sergeant Day examined—Having received intima-
tion of the robbery from Mr. Hopkins he went to the lodgings
of the female prisoner, Tarling.street, St. George's-in-the-East.
and knocked at the door, when the prisoner said " Come in."
Witness entered, and the prisoner said, " Oh ! I thought it
was Rickard; have you seen him lately ?" Witness answered
that he had come about some handkerchiefs which had been
pawned at the shop of Mr. Carpenter. Prisoner exclaimed,
"Dear me, I hope Rickard has done nothing wrong, he gave
me the handkerchiefs, and I pledged them !" Witness then
searched the room and found the following property, viz.—
four veils, a piece of Irish linen, a piece of French cambric,
twelve cambric handkerchiefs, three pairs of gloves, two table-
cloths, two collars, another lot of cambric handkerchiefs, some
marked " Rickard," and others " Welsford," a red merino
shawl, six duplicates, &e., &c. W itness then took the pri-
soner into custody, and went to Messrs. Hopkins' shop, where
he found Rickard, who, on being accused of the robbery,
burst into tears, and begged forgiveness of his master. Witness
then took him into custody.
Harriet Kepple, who kept the house No. 11, Tarling-street.
was next called. She proved the visits of the male prisoner
at the house • she thought he was in love with the female pri-
soner, and that a marriage was contemplaled. The young
woman had conducted herself in a perfectly honest way as far
as witness knew, during the time she had lived in her house.
Several other witnesses were called, who cet roborated the
main points of the evidence.
Mr. BALLAienws then addressed the Jury in a lengthened
speech, displaying considerable talent, in behalf of the prisoner
Welsford, contending that she had received the property not
with a guilty knowledge, but with the idea that it had been
honestly obtained by Rickard.
The Costmox SERGEANT then briefly summed up.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty against Mary
Welsford.

The Comm); SERGEANT then sentenced John Rickard,
on his own plea of guilty, to be transported beyond sea for the
term of seren years.

selve4 in terms of heartfelt gratitude, then bowed and
rAired.

• WOOLWICH.
Three dashing young gentlemen were placed in the
dock, charged with committing a robbery at the Bell
Tavern, Bell Water-gate, Woolwich. - The case excited
the greatest interest, from the nature of the evidence ad-
duced. The prisoners' names were Lees, Hurry, and
Thompson ; the latter had loSt his hat, which was not to
be found. A police constable of the L division (31),
being sworn, deposed that he was standing at the door of
the house in question, when he went up stairs. to look
for a brother constable, who, be thought, was in the
house. On the landing-place he saw a door on the left
open, and he looked in, but discovered it was a bed-room.
Lees, one of the prisoners, looked in, and Thompson was
there, and another, not in custody. Thinking something
suspicions, he went doWn and informed the landlord,
and he remained below ; in a few minutes after he
heard the cry of " Thieves," and a scuffle. Lees
came clown and hastily left the house. He fol-
lowed him about two hundred yards, when he saw
him join Hurry. He then called some brother con-
stables, and took theminto custody. On searching them
at the station-house Thompson had a silver watch, and
a door key. penknife, some sovereigns, and silver. He
told the sum in the purse before:he opened it. On Lees
was found a sold watch, gold guard, penknife, three
sovereigns, &e. On Hurry a, watch, guard, two sove-
reigns and a half, some silver, &c. He had seen them
previously together in a road leading to 'Woolwich-
common. Did not see Hurry near the house in question.
Mr. GROVE could not see what business the constable
had to take them. They all had watches, and wore them
in the fashionable style round their necks. They had
not, with the exception of Thompson, been seen near the
house.

Mr. Burch, the landlord, wished to be heard, and
I stated that on the police constable informing him of the
circumstance, he went up stairs, and saw the prisoner,
Thompson, coming out of his bed-room. He called out
"Murder ! thieves !" He then saw another run out.
He found his bed-room had been ransacked, the bed and
and bedding taken off the bedstead. Under the mattrass
he had some silver spoons concealed, which he bought
about thirty-five years ago from Mr. Webber, a silver-
smith, of Powis-street. They had been removed from
there. The lock of the door had been picked, and he
had not time to see what he had lost. There was a bag
with a quantity of silver, three watches gone, &c. He
distinctly heard something heavy fall by the side of
Thompson, when he was running down stairs.
Mr. George Sutherland stated he was in the house at
the time, when he heard a cry of "Murder," &c. He
saw Thompson run clown without a hat, and he then
.saw the spoons fall from his person, and he held him fast
till taken into custody by a police constable. Did not see
the other prisoners there.
William Romayne, a police constable, deposed to tak-
ing the prisoner, who said nothing but that he had made
a mistake in the room. Lees had come down. and gone
away; another constable followed him.
Benjamin Portman said he heard something fall. He
ran up stairs, when he met Thompson,-who gave him a
violent blow on the nose.

The constable 31 L said, if they were remanded, no
doubt, from their description, which answered exactly, he
could prove plenty of similar cases against them. He
had seen them often in bad company, thieves, &c., and
watched them during the day.
• Mr. GROVE -It is a very clear case against Thompson,
but the others he-saw no pretence for taking into cus-
tody, nor had the officer any right to do so; they might
be the associates of pickpockets, but that was no reason,
as they were not near the house in question. Hurry
was discharged.
Mr. Hurry then said he Was, a farmer residing in
a
Sudbury; he came to town for few weeks, and took
lodgings in Montague-place, RUsSell-square; his father
was a County Magistrate, living in Suffblk, and he could
Th
bringe most respectable witnesses as to his character;
he came down
.to see the. review, "and not one of the
others did he know.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
Augustus Leech, formerly a turnkey at the Peniten-
tiary, Milbank, and latterly deputy-governor of the
House of Correction at Salop, was placed at • the bar,
charged with horsewhipping the Rev. Dr. Nihil, Chap-
lain and Governor of the Penitentiary, Millbank.
The Rev. Dr. Nihil stated, that about two that day he
was passing up Millbank-street, when, on a sudden, th 4
prisoner came up to him and commenced horsewhipping
him very violently with a riding-whip. After striking
him several times, he said he would walk with him be-
fore a Magistrate, and at once came to this office.
Mr. GREGORIE asked how it was that any ill feeling
occurred between defendant and complainant 2—Dr.
Nihil said that the prisoner laboured under an opinion
that he had done him an injury, and at the very time he
was horsewhipping him swore that he had ruined him.
-Mr. GREGORIE inquired what connexions had existed
between them ?
Dr. Nihil replied, that defendant had acted as warden
of the Penitentiary until the end of the year 1839, when
he was discharged by order of the committee, in conse-
quence of his (Dr. Nihil) having reported to them that
defendant had, contrary to the regulations of the establish-
ment, applied for a situation at Coldbath-fields prison,
whilst absolutely holding one at the Penitentiary.
Two gentlemen who were passing by proved having
witnessed the assault.
Mr. GREGORIE called upon defendant to answer the
charge.
. Defendant having implored the Magistrate to give him
a patient hearing and administer even-handed justice,
stated that he had acted xis warden in the Penitentiary from
March 1835, to the 30th December 1839, partly uuder the
former governor and partly under the present governor,
the rev. complainant. In the latter dart of 1839, being
anxious to better his condition, he applied for the situa-
tion of turnkey at Coldbath-fields prison, and was placed
on the list of candidates. All men were anxious to lin-
prove their condition in life, and this was a feeling from
which the rev, gentleman did not seem exempt, for
whilst holding one situation he applied for another, and
succeeded in adding 500/. per annum to his income. For
the offence of applying at Coldbath-fields he was taken
before a Committee of two by the rev. complainant and
discharged.• He obtained, it was true, subsequently a
situation at Coldbath-fields as sub-turnkey, which was
inferior in station as well as emolument to what he was
looking for, owing to the interference of the rev, com-
plainant against him.
Dr. Nihil here interrupted the accused by stating that
the interference be used was with Colonel Chesterton in
his favour. ._
Defendant continued—After stopping some months at
Coldbath-fields, he resigned, but subsequently obtained,
through the recommendation of COlonel Chesterton, the
situation of Deputy-Governor and taskmaster of the
Salop county gaol, where he went on comfortably, until
feeling from the altered conduct of the Governor towards
him, tat some communication had been made by Dr.
Nihil to his prejudice, he determined to resign, and
having done so, he asked the Governor, Mr. Dawson,
whether he had not received a letter from Dr. Nihil re •
specting him. The Governor, who appeared much sur-
prised at the question, replied that he had, and added
that the rev. gentleman had spoken very indifferently
of him.
Mr. Nihil begged to explain this matter. He had, he
said, received a letter in the latter part of last year from
the Governor of the gaol of Shrewsbury, inclosing a
pamphlet, which be said had been written by defen-
dant, and asking several questions re,pecting him ; to
that letter he replied he had reason to believe that de-
fendant had strong prejudices against him in consequence
of some imagined injury, and he therefore begged to de-
cline answering the questions put to him. Had he (Dr.
Nihil) spoken ever so badly of defendant, his conduct
would have justified him in so doing.
Defendant, with some warmth, observed that having
his prospects in life ruined by the cruelty of the rev.
gentleman towards him, he thought himself warranted
in taking the course he bad done.
Mr.,' GREGORIE said that even supposing the rev.
gentleman had been instrumental in his losing his situa-
tion, which no one could imagine, he would not be jus-
tified in co:nmitting this gross and aggravated assault.
Defendant was then ordered to find to answer the
charge at the sessions.
CLERKENWELL.
William Whiting, the young man charged with carry-
ing off a volume of Garrick's collection of Old Plays,
was again placed at the bar on Saturday evening. Sir
Henry Ellis, and several other gentlemen were in at-
tendance for the prosecution, and the prisoner's employers
and many other highly respectable individuals were pre-
sent to speak on his behalf.
Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—Have you any
further explanation to give? Prisoxer—Not any.
Mr. GREENWOOD—How long have you been under
articles to Messrs. Wright, Waterman, and Egan? Pri-
soner—TWo years.
Mr. GREENWOOD—What- were-you before you en-
tered the service of those gentlemen ? Prisoner—l was
at school in the establishment of Dr. Lord, of Tooting. •
Mr. Wright, one of the prisoner's employers, Mr.
Whiting, the uncle of the accused, who has the manage-
ment of the business of Ferrers, Esq., one of the
Masters in Chancery, Mr. Tasser, an attorney, Mr.
Charles Butterfield, and many other gentlemen, were
then called and examined for the defence. They seve-
rally spoke of him as a young man of studious habits,
moral rectitude, and strict integrity, and they could
conscientiously assert that lie would not knowingly do
an act prejudicial to himself or to society.
Some of the witnesses stated that they knew of the
accused receiving the introduction to the reading rooms
of the Museum, and he expressed his delight in having
that opportunity of amusing and improving his mind.
He told them that the order would enable him to convey
books from the Museum to his own lodgings, and that
to him was an infinite pleasure, as it would make him
keep at home at night, and be not only a saving to his
pocket, but a protection to his health. He was congra-
tulated by all whom he so addressed, and doubly so on
Friday, when he produced to them the valuable work
which he now was accused of purloining, and which
some of them were admiring with him when the messen-
ger took him into custody.

Mr. GROVE expressed regret that he should have suf-
fered such treatment.

Mr. Hurry said, when taken he was dragged into a
house where the handcuffs were put on him, and then
brought through the town like a felon; he should cer-
tainly look into such a serious matter.

Lees then stated he was a jeweller, and resided at No.
6, Sarah Ann-place, Brand-row, Kent-road, and had a
house at 181. per year. His watch was a Geneva one,
number 243 (which was not the case) ; and he also
stated that there was no name (while there was), which
he had had six years, but never minutely examined it.
Mr. GROVE remarked he had had his watch ten years,
and neither knew maker's name nor number.

The Officer said it answered the description of one
stolen, and which appeared in the Hue and Cry: could
he not detain him?

Mr. GROVE—On your own responsibility ; I shall not
order it. Lees must enter into his own recognizances of
501. to appear when called upon to. do so. As to the pri-
soner Thompson, he is committed for trial.
Mr. Cohen, a respectable gentleman of the town, was
also dragged through the town by the police, on the pre-
tence that he was in company with the last named pri-
soner. Several most respectable inhabitants, surprised,
followed him to the station-house, and there convinced
the sergeant it was not possible he could do such a thing,
and he was liberated ; of course the gentleman felt
keenly such an outrage being committed upon him.
