EVSOL VEN7' DEB /Me COOL( T, •Augutt ).
IN RE JOHN PIERC) .
The insolvent had been an extensive merchant in
Winchester. The ground of opposition to his petition
was for fraudulent preference, in favour of a person
named l'armenton, to whom he executed a warrant. of
attorney, by which all the property was disposed of with-
out any benefit to the body of the creditors.
Mr. CooKE applied to have the bill of costs of Mr.
Buchanan, the insolvent's attorney, taxed, as it Was
alleged. that he had taken proceedings against a numbtr
of the insolvent's creditors, without being authorised by
him to do so.

Mr. COOKE. contended that the insolvent had not been
properly described, consequently the petition must be
distressed. All the creditors wanted was to have the
property of which Mr. Adams, the insolvent's brother-
in-law because possessed, given up, or ut all events, to
have it shown that the transaction was a bona fide one.
The Couar decided that the order for hearing shouicl

IN RE HENRY GOLDSMID.

coming to live with him. At the last hearing the case
was ordered to stand over for the production of evidence
on the latter point.
Messrs. Ogle and Lotter, surgeons, and the insolvent's
son, Mr. Yates Henry Gold:mid, having deposed to the
fact of Mrs. Ogle having expressed her determination of
residing with the insolvent, and thus inducing him to en-
large his expenditure, .
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the debts had
been contracted without reasonable chance of payment,
an/ therefore the sentence of the Court was, that the in-
solvent be imprisoned for four calendar months from the
date of his vesting order.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Coombs, the resi-
dent engineer for the Croydon and Mersithain district..
that a few days ago it was discovered that from five to
six tons of these metals had been ;stolen. Au immediate
inquiry was instituted, and it was discovered that the pri-
soners, all of whom keep horses and carts,, had been seen
engaged in conveying iron to London, and ultimately a
search was made on the premises of Mr. Benbow,
an ironfounder at Bankside, and there a large quan-
tity of the iron was discovered. Mr. Benbow was ex-
amined, and he proved that, ou the 4th of August, he:
purchased twenty hundred weight of . this iron of the,
prisoner Evans, and paid him three shillings a hundred-
weight for it, On the 13th of April lie purchased of the
prisoner Neall thirty-three cwt. of the same description
of iron ; and on the same day he purchased a second lot
of another person, and he paid tot. Os. Sd. for the whole
quantity. In addition to these facts it was also proved.
that the prisoner Noll had sold several cart loads- ovt.
railway blocks, the property of the company.
The Magistrates said that there did not appear to be
the slightest imputation against Mr. Benbow, who ap-
peared to have acted (Ow fairly and honourably in the
transaction.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Bench had come to the
conclusion of committing the prisoners to take choir
trials, and the company might prefer other indictments,
against them if they thought proper.--'they were com-

GUILDHALL.
POLITICS IN A POLICE Con RT.—Miss Newell, an in-
teresting young lady of about 45, and who is a well
known attendant at almost every public meeting held in
the metropolis, and who possesses a considerable pe,4-
chant for oratory, appeared before Mr. Alderman Hum -
phery, to make a rather novel application of and concern-
ing the riots and rioters of Manchester. She held in her
hand a large bundle of papers, which she had brought with
her to read to the worthy Alderman, and which, she said,
contained a panacea for all the evils under which the
country is at present labouring. The worthy Alderman
looked at the bundle of papers, and unbuttoned his waist-
coat, and resigned himself to the infliction of listening to
the contents of these documents. Miss Newell coin-
inenced her recitation, the burden of which was that the
children of this country had not listened to the warning
voice of God ; and she concluded her haraague by call-
ing upon the people of England not to pay taxes, which
supported grinding bishops, who were but fallible men.
The application she had to make to his worship was, that
he would to the utmost of his power disseminate these
sentiments.

Mr. Alderman HUMPIIERY—There are some parts of
your production to which I certainly cannot subscribe.
Miss Newell—Oh, what about the bishops ?
Mr. Alderman HusteffEnv (langhing)—No, no ; not
that ; but where you call on the people not to pay taxes.
Miss Newell—Oh, Sir, what I want is to rouse their
intellects. Will you help me ?
The worthy MAGISTRATE said " he would see about
it," and Miss Newell left the Court.
lIGUSE-RREAKING.—Two young men named Painter
and Brown, were placed at the bar charged with breaking
into the house No. 19, New Broad street.
City police-officer, 159, stated that he was on duty on
Saturday night about twelve o'clock, in Bells-square,
when he saw the prisoners getting over a wall, and ho
took them into custody. He ascertained subsequently
that the house No. 19, New Broad-street, had been
broken into.

Some time ago the papers teemed with accounts of a.

but somewhat anomalous title of " The Lady Thief."
