LA W INT-M—LIGENCE.
couRT BANIcutTPTGY, Sept. 5.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RI IllellAEL
_

Mr. Du Nc.s.N applied on behalf of this insolvent, who car-
ried on bwiness as a soda water manufacturer in Little Charles-
street, Hampstead-road, for his discharge from custody.
Mr. John Sykes said he was the detaining creditor, and
wished to oppose the application, but his solicitor was not present.
The ComatissioNza observed that it was the duty of soli-
citors to be present in time—he should not let the case stand
over on that ground. The Learned Commissioner asked what
the nature of the objection was ?—Mr. Sykes had every reason
to believe the insolvent had money or property sufficient to pay
the debt.
The Commtssiowea—That is not an objection on which a
prson is to be detained in prison. It is not because he can
pay and won't that 1 can detain him. Is that the only ground ?
Mr. Sykes—l don't understand much about it myself. I
th,,uglit that was a good ground.
The COMMISSIONER—Can you say that he contracted the
debt under fraud ? Mr. Sykes—l don't know how it might be
in law.
Commissiowza—What was it for, goods sold and delivered
Mr. Sykes—Yes, sir,: we had been dealing for about a year an
nine months.
At this stage of the proceedings, however, it was discovered
that as this was an es parte application, and the insolvent had
only seen taken into custody on Saturday last, the papers were
not present, and the case was adjourned, but ultimately the
order was refused, the insolvent having fraudulently disposed of
his property.

IN RE HARDING.
Thi; bankrupt, who carried on business as a hosier at Graves-
end, acid Chiswell•street, London, came up for his final exami-
nation.
The principal objection was that the bankrupt stated in his
balance-sheet that he had received 6,000/. odd for ready money
sales, a which he had not kept any account, and which he al-
leged he had, from time to time, paid away to creditors.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he regretted that the law
was not to the effect that not keeping books was a distinct of-
fence, subjecting the party to imprisonment. He, however,
did not consider that it was sufficient ground to refuse the
bankrupt from passing his examination.
The case was ultimately adjourned until Commissioner Fun
blanque returned.

SECONDARIES' COURT, Sept. 5.
There was only one case set down foe and in that the
record was withdrawn.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES AT TAM CITY ORIEN-
T ARD.-. George Boyle, the driver of cab No. 2,034, was
brought before Alderman Copeland and Alderman Musgrove
under the tollowing circumstances :
John Newman, the owner of the cab, stated that the defend.
ant had been in his employ about two months. On Sunday
last he went out with the cab'about nine o'clock in the morn-
ing, but instead of driving it himself he employed another per•
sun to act for who, about two o'ekick in the afternoon took
it to the Redcross-street stand and there left it, from whence
it was taken to the City greenyard. He had not only lost his
time as well as the work of the horse and cab for the day, but
had to pay 13s. fees to the keeper of the yard before he could
obtain his property back.
Alderman COPELAND said the charge was most shameful,
and wished to know how it was made oat.
Newman replied that Is. was charged for bringing the horse
in, and 3s. the fee to the yard ; also Is. each wheel for bring-
ing in, and' Is. 3d. each greenyard fees.
Several hackney coachmen here said that the fees were too
bad. if a coach was in the yard only two minutes before it
could be released, the parties would have to pay 175.
Alderman COPELAND thought there mutt be some over-
charges, and tent for the master of the yard.
Oti his at rival, A derman CorELAND wished to know how
he made out the charges?—The Master said they were per-
fee- ly correct, according to the table made out by the Court of
Aid .rrnen in the year 1833. The four shillings charged for
banging in were paid quarterly into the Chamberlain's office,
but formerly used to be paid to the Commissioners.
Alderman COPELAND said he would give the defendant one
month to. pay his master for the loss he had sustained, which
'would be 1/. Is. With respect to the overcharge of 4s. for the
horse, he would consult the City solicitor, and if he was of the
saute opinion as himself with respect to the rules, the money
slotted tie returned. He would, however, advise the proprietors
of cabs," coaehes, &c., to petition the Court of Aldermen
aeainv the charges, and he had no doubt they would be mate-
rially altered.—The patties then retired.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Th.., Hon. Mrs. Greville, of Eaton-place, summoned Cor-
poral Msj.tr Parkinson, of the Knightsbridge Barracks, for
detairiirg a horse, her property, value 141. 10s.
The eircumsunces under which the summons was taken
out appear to' be these, although the absence of the com-
plainant prevented them from coming out in evidence in the
ordinary way :
A servant of Mrs. Greville was sent to sell a horse at Tat-
tersali's. Ile made a sale to the defendant, which sale was
disputed by Mrs. Greville on the plea that she had never au-
thorised the seller to sell her property. The defendant was
applied to, bilfhe refused to give up his purchase, and, in
order to compel him, a summons was taken out.
The case appeared to excite rather more than usual inte-
rest, as several officers of rank were in Court, among them the
Earl of Munster.
Attn:; waiting an hour for the complainant the proles-
slonal geotleman who attended on behalf of the defendant
applied .to.the Court to have the summons discharged. Ile
considered that his client had been rather hardly dealt with,
in having, been compelled by summons to come. to this court
with his witnesses, to show cause why he detained a horse,
when the'Clearest evidence was in existence that the animal had
been fairly bought, and that the lady herself had recognised and
acquiese4in the validity of the transaction for at least nine
slays befbie the summons was resolved upon.
Air. HA aDwiCK said, the representation made to the Court
when the. summons was applied for was that the amount was
sander 151.; iovalue, arid that the horse had been disposed of
to the -detendant without the knowledge er consent of the
owner. „4,s_ta matter of course the summons. was granted.
The Learned Gentleman hopedthat his client would net again
be taken fro.n, his business to answer a complaint never intended
to be briielat fornard. The defendant, he conceived, ought
to have ces;iipensation for his ]cue of time, and he hoped the ma-
gic!. tte would oblige the complainant to pay the expenses in-
curred. "
Mr. Ha anwtoc said he had no power to give more than the
ordinary costs for the summons.
'I he summons was then discharged.
L'U W- SIRE ET,
Thomas Giles,t;ie and Joseph Canty, two plasterer's la-
boare.re, were placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged
wii it breaking into a cellar belonging to Mr. Bourgess, pawn-
broker. 9f 124 Long-acre, and stealing therefrom several bottles
of port Hite arid of ale.
The ,rhsecutor said that the prisoners were employed yes-
terslay upon the lower part of his house, there being no person
in that part of the premises but the prisoners and the cook
and lentse.naid. At about six o'clock in the evening,
the prisoners left the house, being at the time very drunk.
After they- were gone the housemaid came to him and told him
that the cellar had been broken into. He went to see whether
anything had been stolen, and he found that the door of the
cellar had been burst open.
Several bottles of port wine and three bottles of ale had
b:-en stolJn. Afterwards four or five bottles were found hidden
in the area, the necks being broken off, and marked with
plaster, frem which he concluded that they had been broken
cif tititi plasterer's trowels.
The prisoner said that there were several other peesons in the
house who had the same opportunity of stealing the wine that
y had.—Committed for trial.
CLERKENWELL.
Mr. James Johnson, of No. 10, Union-street, Somers-town,
green-grocer, was charged with damaging the cab of Mr. J.
Wlllingsgale.
The prisoner, whose bead was bandaged, and who bore marks
of severe
,and recent injury, was driving down Highgate-hill,
on the previous evening, at a quick pace, when the harness
having eiien way, the horse bees--me ungovernable, and dragged
the cart against the complainant's cab, which stood at the foot
of the The cab was smashed, and the prisoner and his
e.iie were, by the collision, thrown into the middle of the
noel 'Tae prisoner's head was laid open, and the upper part
of his face severely cut and bruised. His wife was so much in-
jured that her life is despaired of. She was carried to a pub-
lic house hard by, where she no.v lies in the greatest agony.
'f he unfortunate prisoner, who had discharged the cabman's
claim, and who seemed to suffer great mental and bodily pain
was discharged.

sling ring, and a small seal, and the latter article was clearly
identified by Airs. Lucas as her property, and as having been
io the cash-box at the time it had been stolen. Itroeks pro-
duced the whole of the property found, together with a chisel,
which he also discovered in the pri.ioner's room, and which he
oat fitted ex icily to the marks made upon the drawers of the
prosecutrix, arid which had been made in forcing them open.
Mr. thews, who attended for the prosecution, presented fur
the doeistrate'e perusal a nudiber of love letters, from which it '
appearrel thst the prisoner had carried on a correspondence nf a

ding-ring arid the fine dresses being found at her lodgings, that

various sums from his customers for which he had never

Aldersgate-,tree', he gave him into custody. Mr. Henderson
added that from inquiries lie had made, he had ascertained the
prisoner had absconded from several masters in a similar
wanner, but he was not aware that he had been guilty of

The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done.
e. Henderson observed that masters in his trade were at
the e4;eoplete merey of their men, and hoped his Worship would
