IN RE GEORGE KNIGHT.
The insolvent was a surgeon and aponeccry in
Drury-lane. At the last hearing the case was ad-
journed in order to perfect service, and• he was
opposed in person by Mr. Shaw.
It appeared that he got a bill for 701. for the pur-
pose of entering upon business. The insolvent re-
peatedly told Mr. Shaw that he would give him up
the bill, until eventually it was found to have been put
into execution, and he (Mr. Shaw) was called upon to
pay the amount.—Discharged.

IN RE JOHN HACKEN.
In this case the insolvent was opposed by Mr. Wood-
ruffe, on behalf of Mr. William Peddington.
It appeared that the insolvent, who carried on an
extensive business as an architect and builder, had
engaged the opposing creditor to perfect a contract
which he (the insolvent) had entered into with a gen-
tleman connected with the Surveyor-General's office,
named Shilcocks. The chief grounds of opposition
were, that he had entered upon the contract at such
a low price, that it was impossible for a fair trades-
man to even pay for the materials, independent of
labour.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS ordered the case to be
adjourned for a month, to amend the schedule, by in
several creditors, and refused to enlarge the
insolvent's bail.

In the case of Nathan, previously reported, on the
application of Mr. Wooiruffe, who read an affidavit,
stating that the insolvent's child was dangerously
ill, the Learned Commissioner consented to enlarge
his bail.

In the course of the day William Compton Smith,
John BUM, George Bennett, and Anna Maria Gully,
were discharged. No point of general interest was
elicited in the hearing of their petitions.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT

Henry Be&lead, aged 46, and formerly a Captain
in her Majesty's service, was placed at the bar charged
with forgery, and the embezzlement of various sums
of money to the amount of 1,5001., which had been
deposited in the Savings bank at Richmond, of which
establishment the defendant had been secretary.

The prisoner pleaded guilty to the indictment, and
the prosecutors strongly recommended him to mercy.
Col. Fox, Major M'Culloch, and other highly re-
spectable persons gave the prisoner a very execllent
character for integrity and for his services in the army.
The RECORDER said that, in consequence of the
recommendation of the prosecutors, and the high cha-
racter which the prisoner had received, he would in-
flict the lightest punishment upon him.which the lack'
allowed, and he could apply to the Secretary of State
for the Home Department to mitigate that penalty.
The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner be
confined in the House of Correction for two years,
without hard labour.
