BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
" WHAN Docroßs DISAGREE," &c.—The Learned Com-
missioner was occupied a considerable time in hearing ar-
guments in support of a summons granted under the Act 1
and 2 Victoria. The party summoned must, according to the
Act, either pay the whole or part of the debt, and enter
into security to try the question at law, or be made
bankrupt.
The question has been several times specially argued be-
fore one or the other of the Learned Commissioners, who have
widely differed in opinion as to the construction of the Act.
A very few days ago a well-known public character, whose
tongue had exceeded credit on many occasions, declared that
the Act of 1 and 2 Victoria had been repealed by the 7th and
Bth ; but the Learned Commissioner (Pane) asked how a man
accustomed to drawing beer could draw conclusions on ques-
tions of law. The debtor said he would quote " Archbold's
Practice." The Learned Commissioner said Archbold might
be right, or he might be wrong; it was a mere matter of
opinion among professional men, and he should, therefore,
adjudge i hat the defendant should be made bankrupt, as he
did not pay the debt,,but dared dispute it.
In the present instance the person against whom the sum-
mons was granted carried, and still carries on busi-
ness in an extensive way as a lace-merchant, but
was summoned for a small sum of fifty-four pounds. His
attorney protested altogether against the process. He said it
was most arbitrary and unjust—that his client was as sub-
stantial a man in trade as any in the city of London—that
he was prepared to make an affidavit that he had a good de-
fence to the action—and that, as it was an arbitary act, the
debtor was entitled to the most liberal interpretation of it in
his favour. Now the affidavit set forth that his client was
indebted for "goods sold." In the schedule of the Act, and
in Archbold it was laid down that there must be a full copy
of the account.
The creditor's solicitor said it was a copy of the ledger,
and invoices were delivered with the goods; there could
not be better particulars; even in common law they would
not be required. In some instances two pennyworth of pins
might be an item. He submitted that the affidavit would
be sufficient to support the petitioning creditor's debt on
opening the fiat.
The COMMISSIONER said it was true it would, yet the term
goods, &c., were not very definite.
The plaintiff's attorney submitted that as there had been
no distinct rule laid down to thereverse of his argument, that
the learned Commissioner was bound to accord with the pre-
cedents laid before him.
The defendant's attorney said his client was perfectly sol-
vent, and it would be libellous to make an assertion to the
contrary, he could pay 20s. in the pound to all his creditors,
and was then ready, and he (the attorney) would join in an
affidavit, that he believed there was a good defence in law to
any suit.
The COMMISSIONER said, that on such an affidavit being
made, the case was taken out of the statute.
The defendant's attorney applied for the names of the
parties making the affidavit in reply,
The plaintiff's attorney refused to give them up.
The COMMISSIONER said that he had no power to order it
if, however it was filed for .ulterior proceedings, an office copy
could be got.

(Before Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE FRIEND.

This insolvent, who appeared a mere boy, had carried on
business as a grocer at Canterbury, in the mixed character
of a cheap " mixed tea and tobacco dealer," had preferred
presenting his petition as a " tobacco merchant," ' having
bought " six pounds" of that commodity and retailed it.
He had received some money on the day he filed his petition.
Is was about the sum covering necessary costs, and he paid it
" to a friendly creditor."
The Learned COMMISSIONER said the case must be ad-
journed for the present.

LITERATURE.

THE AUTOBIOGRAPB Y and CORRESPON
DENCE of Sir SIMONDS D'EWES, Bait.

during the Reigns of Janes I. and Charles I. 2 Vols,

These volumes contain a great deal of gossip about
the D'Ewes family, of little or no interest to the
general reader ; but this is interspersed with occasional
narratives of the public events of the day, including the
foolish visit of " Baby Charles and Steenie" to the Court
of Spain, the death of the modern Solomon, the acces-
sion of his son, and one of the first of his great arbi-
trary ordinances, the levying of ship-money. Speaking
of that illegal impost, Sir D'Ewes, who,was strongly op-
posed to the Established Church on account of its lean-
ing towards Popery, and at the same time favourable to
the reigning dynasty, says—" At home the liberty of
the subjects of England received the most deadly and
fatal blow it had been sensible of in five hundred years
last past; for writs were issued the summer foregoing to
all the sheriffs of England to levy great sums of money
in all the counties of the same kingdom and Wales,
under pretext and colour to provide ships for the defence
of the kingdom, although we were now in peace with all
the world, and the royal fleet was, never stronger or in
better case. In all my life I never saw so many sad
faces in England as this new taxation, called ship-money,
occasioned." The author, however, did not live to see
the end of that rising against the Crown, of which this
was one of the great causes. The fallowing is the
account of the murder of Villiers. Most of our readers
are aware that the Duke had gone down to Portsmouth
to supedotend the fleet which was collected at that place
for the re!ii.f and victualling of }Oche:le:—
" Some of his friends had advised him, how generally he
was hated in England, and how needful it would be for his
greater safety to wear some coat of mail or some other secret
armour : which the Duke slighting, said, ' It needs not;
there are no Roman spirits left.' August 23d, being Satur-
day, the Duke having eaten his breakfast between eight and
nine o'clock in the morning, in one Mr. Mason's house in
Portsmouth, was then hosting away to the King,
who lay at Keswick, some five miles distant, to
have some speedy conference with him. Being come to the
further part of the entry leading out of the parlour into the
hall of the house, he had there some conference with Sir
Thomas Frier, Knt., a colonel, and stooping down in taking
his leave of him, John Felton, a gentleman, having watched
his opportunity, thrust a long knife with a white haft he had
secretly about him with great strength and violence into his
breast. under his left pap, cutting the diaphragm and lungs,
and piercing the very heart itself. The Duke, having re-
ceived the stroke, instantly clapping his right hand on his
sword-hilt, cried out, 'Gods wounds! the villain bath killed
me.' Some report his last words otherwise, little differing
for substance from these : and it might have been wished
that his end had not been so sudden, nor bis last words mixed
with so impious an expression. He was attended by many
noblemen and leaders, yet none could see or prevent the
stroke. His Duchess and the Countess of Anglesey, the wife
of Christopher Villiers, Earl of Anglesey, bis younger
brother, being in an upper room, and hearing the noise in the
hall, into which they had carried the Duke, ran presently to
a gallery that looked down into it, and there beholding the
Duke's blood gush out abundantly from his breast, nose, and
mouth (with which his speech after those his first words had
been immediately stopped), they broke out into pitiful out-
cries, and raised great lamentation. He pulled out the knife
himself, and being carried by his servants unto the table that
stood in the same hall, having struggled with death near
upon a quarter of an hour, at length he gave up the ghost
about ten of the clock the same forenoon, and lay a long
time after he was dead upon the hall table there. Mr.
Felton, that gave him the deadly wound, was a gentleman
of a very ancient family of gentry in Suffolk, very valorous,
and of a stout spirit."

The depraved state of the Church, which may be re-
garded as another cause of the excitement against the
Government, is well described in the subjoined para-
graph. It is true to the letter, and it is painful to add
that the description would answer very well for the
present day. The followers of Laud and the Puseyites
are of the same stamp:—
" I can honour and esteem a virtuous or learned Papist,
who, being educated in that religion, supposeth it to be the
truth. But for men to call themselves Protestants, as Bishop
Laud, Bishop Wren, and their wicked adherents, to swallow
up the preferments of our Church, to inveigh against Popery
in word only, and in the main to project and plot the ruin of
the truth and Gospel, to maintain and publish the most gross
and feculent errors of the Romish synagogue, to cause God's
day to be profaned, his public service to be poisoned by
idolatry and superstition, his faithful and painful ministers to
be censured, suspended, deprived, and exiled, and to threaten
a speedy ruin to the power of godliness,—this my soul abhors
as the highest step of wickedness and of prevarication against
God and his honour. I cannot but account the Pope, the
Cardinals, and Jesuits themselves saints, in comparison of
these men. For as a few traitors within a besieged city are
of a greater danger for the ruin of it than a whale army
without, so doubtless what Theodore Beza saith of the
Pseudo-Lutherans of Germany is true of these men, that
they do no less impudently and furiously weaken and under-
mine the Gospel of truth, than if they were hired by the Pope
himself at great rates."

SURGICAL AND PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS
ON THE DISEASES OF THE HUMAN FOOT;
with Instructions for their Treatment. To which is
added, Advice :on theManagenzent of the Hand. By
John Eisenberg, author of "Practical Expositiin of the
Human Foot.'

Mr. Eisenberg has been long known to the public as
a skilful and scientific chiropodist. His experience in
the treatment of diseases of the feet has been extensive,
and he has here presented us with the result of that ex-
perience, in a clear and lucid treatise, which all who read
can understand, and which is written with an accuracy
of style and language which one would hardly expect to
meet with in the works of a foreigner. The followi
observations, inculcating the necessity of exercising ju-
dicious discrimination in the choice of boots and shoes,
strike us as well worthy an attentive perusal.
" The lower extremities with us are destined to be confined
in leathern cases, sometimes from the knees to the toes;
these are made without much regard to the different struc-
ture of individuals ;'all that the most intelligent of the shoe-
mArpre of tho day think of is. the length and breadth uf the
foot ; some of them, it is true, make a last, not from the foot,
but from the boot, instead of modelling the foot, and from
thence making the shoe. To this idea we are so much ac-
customed that we often buy what we require in the most in-
discriminate manner; we go into the first shoe-shop that
presents itself to our view, and purchase a ready-made pair
of shoes, quite satisfied if they are long enough and do not
pinch at the sides; the flexibility of the material is little
thought of, and still less is any attention paid to the natural
form of each foot, for what fits one is supposed to be equally
well adapted to all. This is, however, a fearful mistake, for
which a thoughtless person has often to undergo great incon-
venience, painful annoyance, and even temporary lameness.
The great desideratum i= to leave the foot to its natural
action, to incumber it as little as possible, and not to place it
in immediate contact with hard unyielding materials; and,
should there be any defects, to have them carefully remedied,
or the best means taken to obviate them."
The book, which is published in 4t0., is got up in
most luxurious manner, with wide margin, gilt edges,
and embossed covers. It presents quite an aristocratical
appearance.

THE REAL PROPERTY STATUTES of the
8 and 9 Victoria, w tit Introduction, Notes, Forms, and
Index. By George S. Allnutt, Esq , Barrister-at-Law.
Important innovations iii the law affecting real pro-
perty have been made by the Legislature during the
past session. Whether the good intended will be pro-
duced or not remains to be proved; but, after theexample
of the Act of the previous session, we are by no means
sanguine as to the beneficial results of the new statutes.
Mr. Allnutt has done much service to the profession by
collecting and editing these statutes, and the work appears
to have been got up with great care and ability. The
notes will furnish a useful practical guide to solicitors
in deciding upon the cases in which they may with
safety adopt the benefits which have been offered by the
Legislature. In the introduction, Mr. Allnutt states an
objection to the use cf the forms provided by the "Act
for facilitating the granting of certain Leases," which
we do not remember to have met with elsewhere. He
says:—" Hitherto in most cases leases could be read
and understood by the parties themselves without re-
sorting to their legal advisers, but, as it is not to be pre-
sumed that the Act will be in their possession, they
must, where a lease has been drawn under the Act,
seek assistance for the purpose of understanding words
which are to have an effect far beyond their natural
meaning." In this remark we entirely concur, and we
fear that this is not the only case in which the lawyers
will benefit by these attempted improvements in favour
of their clients.

three children with him, and told us, with a truly thank-
ful air, that he had at length escaped from New York,
and was going to Herkimer county, where he owned a
little patch of land, and could raise his own potatoes.
Enviable fortune, indeed ! He said he had tried it faith-
fully for years—worked early and late—half clad and
half fed his family, and almost ruined his own health—
in the hope that something would turn up. But he had
given it up. He used to get 2s. 6d. a pair for making
ladies' gaiter-boots, and said this was the usual price
paid for good second•rate work. He lived in a sort of
shed, in the rear of a wooden-house, and paid for his
room four dollars a month. He could make from eight
to ten pairs of gaiters in a week, if he had steady em-
ployment—but this he seldom had. In winter, when
work is slack and expenses much increased, the em-
ployers come and offer even lower prices—and they are
compelled to accept them. Oh, he said he was glad to
think he was already so far from that "bard-hearted
city."
There are often several hundred journeymen in New
York who have no regular situations, and of those who
have work, a great number do not receive, on the aver-
age, over three and a half and four dollars per week.
How they live we have attempted to show.
But, Of course, there are a few very skilful and taste-
ful workmen who get more. They are employed on the
choicest work, and receive for the first quality of ladies'
gaiters four or five shillings per pair. A man makes of
these a pair in a day. A skin of French patent leather
costs $2,50, and will cut six or seven nairs of foxings.
The Satin Francaise costs eleven shillings per yard,
which cuts three pairs ; the binding and closing costs
fifty cents, or five shillings per pair—and the boots are
sold to the customers for $3. This, of course, relates
to the finest kind of custom-work.

ROMANCE IN THE ALMS-HOUSES.

MISFORTUNES OF A MISER.--Much gossip has been
indulged in for some days past in this city, arising
out of a serious loss that has befallen an old
woman named Anne Woodward, an inmate of St.
Bartholomew's Hospital. This individual has been
a recipient of the benefits of the above cha-
ritable institution for a period of about thirteen
years, and at the time of her election some of her disap-
pointed competitors stated to the Committee of Trustees
that she was possessed of wealth. This, however, she so-
lemnly denied, and on being elected into this most com-
fortable and benevolent asylum, she fell on her knees, and
implored the blessing of the Almighty upon the trustees
for having saved her from perishing of starvation. It now
appears that the old creature acted the part of a shameless
hypocrite and a fradulent impostor on a most praise.
worthy institution ; for it has just transpired that at
the time of her election, when she affected to be in a
state of abject misery, she possessed a fortune sufficient
to maintain her in decency and comfort to the end of her
days. Her wealth has, however, now taken to itself wings, i
for by the default and embarrassments of a gentleman n
whom she placed trust, she has sustained the loss of her se-
cret hoard, to the extent, it is stated, of considerably more
than a thousand pounds. The history of the old woman,
as it has been told to us, is a somewhat curious one.
She is now about 80 years of age. Several years ago
she bestowed her affections upon a man named Wood-
ward, who accepted them rather reluctantly, shebeing, we
believe, considerably his senior; but as she was very
urgent in her courtship, and had, moreover, the reputa-
tion of possessing a well-stocked purse, Woodward
surrendered himself to the impetuosity of her wooing,
and married her at Newent. After the marriage she de-
clared she had not a shilling in the world; and in prouf of
this she practised such a system of rigid economy in her
household arrangements, that she very nearly starved her
husband to death. They entered upon a lodging-house in
Cheltenham, but her husband, not relishing the idea of
being attenuated to a walking skeleton, determined to
seek his fortune elsewhere alone, and by mutual agree-
ment a separation took place, the husband wending
his way to London, in the hope of enjoying
once more the luxury of a full meal, and his
wife remaining behind as lodging-house-keeper at
Cheltenham. She, however, soon followed his ex-
ample, sold off her goods, and departed also, no one
knew whither, and for a number of years nothing more
was seen or heard of her. In process of time her hus-
band was gathered to his fathers, and then, as if she had
dropped from the clouds, his widow again made her
appearance on the scene, and succeeded in persuading
the dispensers of charity in Gloucester that she was a
fit and proper object for admission into the hospital of
St. Bartholomew. Here she became a recipient of
five shillings and sixpence per week, with
house-rent free, and other perquisites; but ber parsi-
monious disposition accompanied her into tbis retreat,
and it is supposed that she contrived to save and hoard
up at least the one-half of her weekly allowance. It
has now transpired that at the time of her admission into
the hospital, she had a large sum of money invested in
Government securities, but in a fictitious name; a step
which she is supposed to have resorted to, in order to pre-
vent her husband's heirs from laying claim to any part of i
Lately, the state of her affairs was communicated in con-
fidence to a gentleman held in much esteem in this
city and neighbourhood, but whose pecuniary embarrass-
ments unfortunately caused him in this instance to fall a
victim to temptation. It was felt by some of the old woman's
nearest relatives, who expected to be benefited by her
will, and who well knew how her money was deposited,
that after her death some difficulty might be experienced
in obtaining payment of Government Stock sum-ling in
a fictitious name ; and the gentleman above alluded to,
it is stated, advised that the Stock should be sold
out and re-invested. The selling-out was accom-
plished by him on her behalf, but the re-invest-
ment was postponed, and finally, the affairs of
the gentleman have become so involved that he has left
the country, and the old woman's long-cherished secret
store (of some 1,2001. it is said) has vanished. Still,
uotwithsiandlng the magnitude of hor loss, she receives,
and probably deserves, but little sympathy ; for, with
ample means to exist in independence, she has for thir-
teen years been eating the bread of charity, and by so
doing has for the whole of that period been perpetrating
a gross fraud, and has stood in the way of really de-
serving objects being benefited by benevolence which
was intended for the unfortunate and destitute.— Glou-
cestet Journal.
