LA W INTELLIGENCE.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE GEORGE THOMAS READE.

The bankrupt had carried on business up to the
year 1834 in Liverpool; as a general merchant, and
subsequently in London as a commission agent,
broker, and bill discounter. The amount of debts
was stated in the schedule to be 5,6571., and the lia-
bilities 14,700/. Much of the latter item was stated
to have been incurred upon bills and promissory notes,
of which a great portion was without consideration,
as about 3,0001. alone was for bills passed by way of
accommodation to a person named Mayne. It also
appeared that Mayne had allowed the bankrupt the
use of his name, as an acceptor, without limitation,
and there were several outstanding liabilities of this
person upon bills of exchange, which it was thought
would be made available to the bankrupt's estate.

After the proof of debts to the amount of about
1,500/., amongst which was one for 4001. on the part
of Richard Reade (brother of the bankrupt), of the
firm of Reade and ➢Mathews, the hearing was further
adjourned. •

POLICE lINTELLIGENCE.

BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Samuel Evans, better known in the sporting world
as Dutch Sam, the proprietor of the Old Drury public-
house, in Vinegar-yard, appeared at the bar before
Mr. Twyford to answer a summons preferred against
him by a young man named Taylor for an assault.
The complainant stated that, on the 21st instant he,
in company with two of his friends,went intothe defend-
ant's house, while some other persons were making a
disturbance, and one of complainant's friends was in-
sulted. Some words ensued, which ended in
Mrs. Evan's, who was behind the bar, order-
ing the complainant and his friends, in a
peremptory tone to leave the house. She ultimately
sent for her husband to turn them out, and when he
came down stairs for that purpose, she said to him,
" Turn those fellows out, and dislocate their jaws for
'em." The defendant .proceeded to do as he was di-
rected, and struck witness so violently that he was
stunned for several minutes, and on coming to his
senses he found that one of his teeth was hanging out,
and that his gum was completely smashed.
Several witnesses corroborated the complainant's
evidence in every particular.
The defendant stated that the waiter came up to
him, saying that some low fellows had been insulting
his mistress, and he heard the complainant himself
call his wife an abusive name. Ile then proceeded to
turn complainant out of his house, but he denied using
more than necessary force.
William Meagle, who described himself as a
jeweller, confirmed this statement, and positively
denied that Mrs. Evans instructed her husband to
dislocate anybody's jaw.
Robert Burton, the waiter, also corroborated the
defendant's statement.

Mr. TWYFORD said no doubt the defendant had re-
ceived some provocation, but he had no right to
take the law into his own hands. A person in his
particular situation, possessing such great physical
power and science, should be very cautious in resort-
ing, under any circumstances, to acts of violence. He
should order him to pay 51., or be imprisoned for three
months.—The fine was paid.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Four boys, from eight to twelve years of age, were
charged with damaging one of the plantations in
Hyde-park, by throwing brickbats and stones amongst
the trees, to knock down chesnuts and acorns.
Mr. HARDWICK said this practice must be put a
stop to, and fined the two eldest boys 10s., or seven
days' imprisonment. The others were discharged.
Robert Parsons, the father of one of the boys who
was fined, was charged with obstructing Wm. Cris-
pin, park-constable 5, in the execution of his duty.
The complainant stated that this morning as he
was bringing the four boys from the station-
house to this Court, the defendant collected a mob of
persons about him, and endeavoured to excite them to
rescue the children, by calling the constables " in-
human brutes," and stating that the children were
handcuffed together, and were being taken to prison
for only " picking up a few acorns in her Majesty's
Park." He was at last obliged tobe.taken into custody.
Mr. HARDWICK said the defendant had by his
foolish interference subjected himself to a penalty of
101. or three months imprisonment ; he (the Worthy
Magistrate) was, however, inclined to deal leniently
on this occasion, but, as a warning to him and others,
he should impose a penalty of 205., or ten days' im-
prisonment.
The defendant said.he could not pay, and was locked
up with his son. . -
