LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, August 3.
IN THE HATTER OF JOHN PAULE.

The insolvent was described in his schedule as collect-
ing-clerk to a soap-manufacturer in Lambeth.
Mr. WOODItOFFE °I-posed his petition to be discharged,
on behalf of a creditor who held a bill of exchange, dated
18th September, 1840, upon which the insolvent was sued
and a verdict given against him, when he moved for a
new trial, and the application being granted, a verdict
was again returned against him. The costs to which the
opposing creditor was thus put in the recovery of
his demand exceeded 1001. The Learned Counsel
also enid that the insolvent having stated in his exami-
nation that ho had carried on business as a grocer in
High-street, Poplar, his present petition could not be
entertained, inasmuch as he had not described himself as
of that business in his schedule.

Mr. CooKE, on behalf of the insolvent, contended that
he was not of age at the time he carried on business as a
grocer, and even if he were that he had given it up on
the 10th of September, 1840, eight days befbre he con-
tracted the liability under which lie was now opposed,
and consequently in point of law he was correct in his
description in the balance-sheet.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said he could not
entertain the petition as the insolvent was at present
described. He should, therefore, order the case to stand
over, that the insolvent might re-advertise and file an
amended balance-sheet.

IN RE SYMONDS.

The insolvent was an engineer and builder. His peti-
tion to be discharged was opposed in person by an at-
torney named Rutson. lle was not supported by counsel.
Upon Mr. Rutson being sworn,
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said to him, in
an exceedingly low tone of voice, " You had better speak
loud, as the insolvent, I understand, is very deaf."
The Insolvent—lndeed I am, Sir, I can scarcely hear
a word.—(Loud laughter.)
The opposing creditor stated to the Court that he
discounted a bill of exchange for the insolvent under a
representation that he was in very solvent circumstances
at the time, but when it became due it was dishonoured,
and he fund that all the machinery, tools, &c., which
were upon his premises, were alleged to have been made
over to a person named Sharpe.
After the insolvent had examined Mr. Rutson at great
length,
Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said he should order the
further hearing of the case to come on again on Thurs-
day week, upon which day, if the insolvent were not
prepared with evidence relative to the disposal of the
property, he should further adjourn it without enlarging
his bail.

IN RE GEORGE LEEK.
The insolvent in this case, which has been already re•
ported in The Sun, was called up for judgment, when
The Learned CIIIEF COMMISSIONER said it appeared
to him that the insolvent was one of those persons who,
when contracting debts, seemed to calculate on this Court
as a means for paying them. lie always had some re-
lative who was ready to become the alleged proprietor of
all his assets previous to his arrest, and under all those
circumstances the
„sentence of the Court was, that he be
imprisoned, at the suit of one or more of his creditors,
for the period of eight months, from the date of his vest-
ing order.

CIVIL SIDE.
(Before Lord ABINGER and a Special Jury.)
HUNT V. HELPS.

This was an action by the plaintiff to recover the sum
of 2,0001. from the defendant, who is the secretary to the
British Fire-office, upon an insurance to that amount
effected upon his property by the p!aintiff.
The defendant by his pleas admitted that the policy
had been effected, but he alleged that the plaintiff had
made a fraudulent claim upon the office, and also that
the premises had been wilfully destroyed either by the
hand of the plaintiff or by his connivance.
Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. James were
for the plaintiff ; Mr. Platt, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and
Mr. Peacock appeared for the defendant.
The evidence in this case was extremely voluminous.
The trial lasted two days, and yesterday, a special verdict
for the plaintiff was entered upon the record, and
leave was given to the defendant's counsel to move the
Court upon the question of law.

tween two or three o'clock ; the commission was opened

" MIDLAND ClRCUlT—Leicest6., August:l.
(Before Mr. Baron PAniE.)
.Michael Shipman, Who had been out on bail, was
charged with having violated Ellizabet Maides, at flinck-
ley; in this county, on the 9th of April last.
. The case excited most unusual interest, in consequence
of the respectability and age of the defendant, he, being
63'year&' of age, and a private gentleman, residing at
Hinckley, with a family who had reached the years of
Maturity. The prosecutrix, whose age was 21, was his
servant at the time the'offence was alleged to have been
committed.
• The proseeution was conducted by Mi. Hunafrey and
Mr. Miller ; and Mr. Shipman was defended by Mr.
Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Mellor.
The prosecutrix stated that she got up at six d'clock
on the morning of the 9th April and found the defen-
dant in the kitchen, and while she was stooping down to
cleaii the fire irons, he caught her round the waist and
carried her in his arms out of the kitchen, and through
a wide passage, or hall, into the breakfast parlour, yht
succeeded in committing the offence with which' he
"was charged. He kept one hand on her throat and the
-Other on her shoulder during,; the greater part of the
time. The shutters, of the window in the breakfast parlour.
had not been opened. and it was censequeutly quite dark;
she, however, saw what the,defendaet did,.. She did not
cry out or make any noise, as she lelt quite overcome
in the kitchen; and the defendant kept Ids • band uu
her throat in the breakfast parlour; "but she re-
