RE HENRY CHAE3IAN.

The insolvent applied to be liberated on trail. He had
been Intimately acquainted with Lord Huntingtower, and had
had several bill transactions with that Nob'eman previous to
his departure for the Continent. About fifteen months ago
the insolvent took the benefit of the Act, at which tine he at-
tributed his insolvency to those dealings.
In reply to Mr. Commissioner HAst sus, he said that he resided
on Lord Huntingtower's premises, but was not " one of his
establishment ;" neither was he his tenant ; but he had the
honour to be his particular friend.
A creditor named Caldwell, who described himself as a cab-
man, complained that he had not been served with due legal
notice of the qualifications of these offering themselves on bail ;
also that the detaining creditor was not to be found.
The Learned COMMIIsioNER having examined the bail, de.
dared the insolvent entitled to be discharged until his hearing.
There were 34 Bail cases for hearing, all of which were got
through during the morning. The town cases amounted to
'32, and the country to 11.

CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.)
ArrEmrTEn Suietnx.—A very pensive and rather pretty
looking young girl, named Mary Dem ink, was brought before
the magismatet charged with attempting to destroy herself on
Monday last.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who was a
servant, in Peter-steet, Gray's-inn-lane,:went out on pretence
of visiting 11,..r mother on Sunday evening last; she returned
a few hours after very much intoxicated, in company with a
cab man, who lived in the same house. She immediately
went to bed. The next morning her mistress observed upon
the impropriety of her conduct and told her she would inform
her mother of it. This seemed to prey very much upon the
poor girl's spirits, and she fell into a state of the most gloomy
melancholy; and from which her mistress made several in-
effectual attempts to arouse her. Late on Monday evening she
threw herself into a cistern► of water, six feet deep. The
screams of a female who saw her brought a nan from a neigh,
bouring house to her assistance, who, after some difficulty,
succeeded in rescuing her.
Her mistress gave her an excellent character, and the Ma.
gistrate having recommended her to return to her service, and
her mistress to treat Cher with care and kindness, the parties
left the office.
