LA W INTELLIGENCE.

SOLVENT COURT—(T HIS DAY.)
IN RE THOMAS TUDOR PUGH.
The insolvent in this case had been an extensive
carcass butcher in Newgate market, and also was in
the habit of .selling upon commission.
His petition to be discharged was' opposed by Mr.
Hubbard, the extensive salesman of Newgate-street,
on the following grounds. The insolvent used to get
money from lvir. Hubbard to purchase beasts in
Smithfield market, which were then to be sent to his
(Mr. Hubbard's) premises and slaughtered, he being
allowed es. commission upon each, and Mr.
Hubbard taking whatever profit might arise. The
insolvent having received money to purchase 25 beasts
delivered only 18 to Mr. Hubbard, immediately after
Nihich he was given in charge to the police, and
brought before the Lord Mayor; but his Lordship
bad some dotlbt as to whether the charge could be
entertained criminally, and he was discharged. The
insolvent was then arrested upon a civil process, and
now sought the benefit of the Act.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, after censuring the
solvent's conduct as fraudulent, ordered him to be
Imprisoned at the suit of Mr. Hubbard for six months
fron-i the date of his vesting order.

• IN RE JOHN WOOD.
The insolvent was the proprietor, in conjunction
with his brother, of very large and extensive brick-
fields and kilns, at Nettleby, in Oxfordshire. His
discharge was opposed by Mr. Douce, on behalf of a
creditor, named Farrell.
It appeared that the insolvent had been arrested at
the suit of his brother-in-law, and subsequently sold
out his interest at Nettleby to a gentleman named
Thompson. He also disposed of a quantity of furni-
bare and farming stock. His books having been pro-
duced after his examination,
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said this case was a very
bad one. Every statement. in the balance-sheet varied,
and the insolvent gave his evidence in such a manner
as to be contradictory of them. The case should,
therefore, stand adjourned generally, with 21 days'
notice to the opposing creditor.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A tall fine-looking young Scotchman, in the garb
of a respectable mechanic, who gave the name of Hugh
Steele, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, on sus-
picion of being concerned in the robbery of nine 51.
notes, and other property, from a gentleman residing
in lodgings in Arundel-street, Strand.
, Sergeant 'Western, F 6, stated that the robbery had
been committed some time back, it was believed by a
female, who had acted as servant in the house where
th e gentleman lodged, and who had absconded. She
Wills '
thought, however, to have had accom-
plices, and one named Johnson had already
°cob 'apprehended. From information which he (Ser-
ant Western) had received, he proceeded to
itenfrewshire, in Scotland, where he succeeded in
capturing the prisoner, who acknowledged that he
was acquainted with the person already in custody
and the female, but he denied all participation in the
robbery. A letter, however, which had been found
custody,
sthto3,
the lodgings of the man Johnson, who was now in
the prisoner acknowledged to be in his
handwriting. The letter was couched in something
like the following term :—" How the police found my
address in London it is impossible for me to imagine,
unless you gave it, because no one knew it but
You. The captain of police was at me yesterday
asking about a woman, and if she had any 51. notes
When I saw her in London. I hope you have not
told the police that shecame to Scotland with me, for
I
shall tell the truth, and you do the same. I
the case is more serious than ever I anticipated, but
mind and tell the truth," &c.
hi Mr. HALL said this was quite enough to warrant
bi in remanding the prisoner.
Sergeant Western said he only wanted to appre-
a.ded the woman now. She was known to the
'lice by no less than four different names, and he
;Ted to have her in a few days. He understood she
Was ‘ in Derbyshire.
i
HALL then remanded the prisoner till the 14th
