POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Mattsiois House.— A man of respectable appearance, named
Hough, was brought before the Loan MAYOR, charged with
having obstructed Allen, one of the Police, Iu the performance
of his duty.
Allen stated that he had found it necessary to take up a sturdy
beggar, who was annoying the public by his solicitations, and that
he was, with the assistance of auotber person, whose duty was of
the same kind, conveying him to the Compter. They had not
proceeded far, when the defendant came up, and objected to their
mode of accompanying the beggar, stating that they Were bound
to walk arm in arm with him, and not to lead him by the collar
like a horse. Witness requested that the defendant would go about
his business, and allow the Officers to pursue theirs, but instead
of obliging them so far, the defendant became very noisy and
troublesome, and the beggar, encouraged by the support he re-
ceived, chewed a disposition to get away, and would have escaped
had not the witness persevered in .his determination, whatevr
might be the consequence, to lock up his prisoner. The defendant
said he would himself walk with the beggar, and see that he was
not ill-used. A mob collected In consequence of this interference,
and there was an outcry against the Officers. Witness however
succeeded in placing the prisoner in safe custody, and as the de-
fendant had acted in such a manner as to place the Officers in
considerable danger, as well as obstructed them In their duty, it
was thought but right to represent the case of the latter to the
LORD MAYOR.

• '

to fhb fling of a new petition, on the re-execution of
the present schedule.—Petition dismissed:
James. Llo. id was brought up a second time, under
suspicion of hßsi:ig improperltand fraudulently
'emitted to specify in his schedule various property,
,tioinprising a horse and certain bills of exchange in
which he had an interest, and of having therefore ob-
-1 tained his discharge without being duly entitled to it.
This person appeared to have been engaged in agri-
culturalAccupa:ions, and to have formerly lived in
the neighbourhood of Chelmsford. There he admit-
ted that he hasl been sometimes recogni,ed by the
appellation of " Jemmy frOm Town." His concerns,
however, had made it necessary of late .f9r hilt) pi be
often in town. Me was Well acquainted with a per.
son hanted. caseltine, had had dealings .withhira.o2
many occasions, but had no remembrance of selling
`km a horse at or after the period of arrest. The
two. bills of exchange that were sherm to him hi fullt
feCogniied ; they had been long since drawn, .and
-were, fOr *might he knew, paid and settled.
John Caseltine, a butcher, deposed, that soon arta
Lloyd'i arrest, his son came to him wit:i a horse,
which he offered to him (Caseltine) for sale. The
witness asked the price, and was told it was £6. 'He
was pleased with its appearance, and on Tiding it a
short distance consented to become the pto chaser.
Accordingly he kept the horse, and intended to pay
the stipulated price. This was after Lloyd's confine-
ment ; but the horse had not been long in his posses-
sion before.it was claimed by a man named Peters as
his property ; and. to him, in consequence of his
threatening to commence law proceedings for its resti-
tution, be surrendered it. At thii time the insolvent
owed him a small sum, perhaps about El. The bill,
or promissory note, in which he was concerned, was
fur £3O, it was indorsed over to him, but had beeh
accepted by Mr. Marshall. Ile (the witness) had ad-
vanc?al money upon it, and the whole had been since
settled by Mr. Marshall. The bill was drawn so far
back as January last.
W. Hall testified that another bill or note, produced
in Court, was drawn so far back as December or Ja-
nuary last, and had remained in his custody till it was
paid, or regularly taken up.
Mr. HEATII admitted that he was not able to pro-
duce the evidence which be had relied on, with re-
gard to a sum of much greater magnitude, and pro-
perty to the value of between £3OO and £4OO. Never-
theless, he conceived that the Court could not have
failed to remark a material inconsistency between the
testimony of Lloyd and that of Caseltine, relative to
the same transaction; and if so, one of them had com-
mitted falsehood, or something worse. This Was cer-
tainly the only ground on which he could support his
application to the Court to review its order for this
party's discharge, or question the legality of his title
to all the benefits of the Act.—The order for the in-
solvent's discharge was then confirmed.
Thomas Jones came up to be heard on his petition
to be discharged, and was opposed by Mr. Powell, his
landlord, in person.
The insolvent was a butcher, and took a house at
Walwoi th, from Mr. Powell, last Christmas, at ESO
a-year. %Wien a quarter's rent became due, 'Mr.
Powell applied for it, and•was put off by the insol-
vent with promises of payment, and assurances that
there was plenty of property on the premises. On.
the 21st of April the insolvent gave Mr. Powell such
an assurance, and on the same night every thing was,.
carried away, and the next day Mr. Powell found the
house locked up and empty.
The insolvent stated, in explanation, that the fur-
niture that was removed all. belonged to lodgers, and..
-a widowed sister who lived with him, and that he.
had removed himself only the utensils of his business,.
of no more than a few pounds value ; and that he
had expended double the amount of-the rent he owed
in improving the premises for his.b.usiness.
The COURT said, the insolvent, by removing
property, had deprived his landlord of the remedy
he would have had by distress. The judgment of
the Court therefore was, that he should be remanded
for six months from the date of his Petition.

. street patrol shall every night he stationed In the Park, 'o aTord
security to passengers, with orders to apprehend all disorderly
and suspicibus characters, and others pointed out by the Act
passed in the late Session of Parliament; and to remove aft pet-
sons found sleeping or loitering about at %unease:table bours..--
Accordingly, yesterday,
in addition to those mentioned in our
Paper of that evening, eight men and eight women, found asleep
on the benches about two o'clock in the morning, Wee brought
to this Office, and, after undergoing a strict esamlnation,
Thos.
Gibson, Ann Hanscombe, Sarah Penn, and Elizabeth $e yell,
who gave the least satisfactory account of themselves, were com-
mitted to Tothill-fields 13ridewell for one month each • John
Morrison, R. Illeyier, and Wm. Reynolds, were remanded for
further examination, to give them time to send for their friends;
and the remainder, having been strictly cautioned against being
again found in a similar situation, were discharged.
Luton-Hatr.—Thontos Allen and Charles Cattail!, two men
in the employment of the firm of Lees Cottans, sod Halt's;
ironfounders, in Cornwall-road, Lambeth, were charged with
stealing a quantity 'of files and other articles, used in the factory
•of• their emplOyfra. It appeared that the firmed suffered very
extensively from-the conduct of tha two prisoners. Mr. Haiku
said, that for some time past the prisoners had been suspected:of
;dishonest practice& A warrant was procured, and the Officer,
upon examining the lodgings of both prisoners, found a quantity
of files, &c. which were produced and ide'ntified ;:Sir. Hallam
Several other articles belonging to the firm were traced to thd
shop of o_ne Stevenson; a locksmith, in East Smithfield, who at-
tended 'ft 'the Office and swore that he had purchased them
from the prisoners. :The property was also identified by Mr.
Henan. Both prisoners were fully committed
Laaterrn-Szazev.—Mary Blake, and Ann Tyrrell, her mother,
who stood remanded, charged on suspicion of having stolen a
boy, aged about two years, were again-put to the bar, and
finally examined before Marrttew Wvarr, Esq. the sitting Ma-
gistrate.—The prisoners now made a statement, which was cor-
roborated by an examination of the Parish Officers, that the
child was the brother of the present applicants,,named Royal,
and that they had it to nurse of the parish of Clerkenvrell.
The Magistrate said the child was now traced as decidedly
belonging to the family of Royal, who claimed it. Ile would
leave it to Mr. Scott, one of the Overseers, to determine whe-
ther he wopld prosecute the prisoners for their cruelty to it, and
told him under nu circumstances in the world to suffer them to
have the child again, as he had never known two such depraved
characters.

Mr. Low, one of the Churchwardens of St. George's in the
Vast, where the case originated, said that he would refer the
matter to the consideration of the Committee the next Board
Day as to the prosecution of the prisoners by the parish.
The Magistrate desited the child to be sent to its proper pa-
rish, Clerkenwell.

The defendant said he saw the Officer using unnecessary vio-
lence towards the prisoner, with whom he thought he (the Officer)
might have walked um in arm.
'The LO RD Maros ordered the defendant to pay a fine of
twenty shillings.
The defendant at first refused to pay the fine; but upon being
told what would be the consequence, be produced the money.
The LORD Maims observed, that the Officer accused of vio-
lence was a person upon whose humanity he had the utmost re-
liance, that the vagrant was a notorious fellow, and that every
one who was found interfering with Officers in the execution of
their duty, should be punished in the most exemplary manner.
riow-sxasET.—Tuesday, after a warrant had been made out
and 'signed by the Magistrate for the apprehension of Captain
Webb, of the schooner Ate, for outrages alleged to bare been
committed by him upon John Galespie, and others of hi.: crew,
off the coast of Africa (as stated in our I'aper of yesterday), it
occurred to Mr. Hau.s, that as the vessel was lying in the lAin-
don hocks, in the vicinity of the Thstnes Police-office, the
matter came more immediately ender the jurisdiction of the Ma-
gistrates there. He therefore ordered his warrant to be can-
celled, and directed the applicants to go cs quickly as possible to
the sitting Magistrate at Wapping, and relate their story.

Mr. Scott said they would take it back in a friendly manner,
to save the parish of St. George the expense of formally passing it.
The prisoners were ordered to give 24 hours' notice of bail.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

The men accordingly made application to the sitting Magistrtta
(Mr. 13aorizate), at the Thames Police-office, on Tuesday after-
noon, for a warrant against their Captain, but it was refused on
the ground that a Magistrite had no power to issue a warrant'
for the apprehension of a person charged with the commis-
sion of an offence on the high seas. Their only remedy, they
were told, was to wait until the next Admiralty Sessions, and
then prefer a bill of indictment before the Grand Jury. If a
true bill were returned, a warrant would then be issued as a
matter of course by the Judge, and the Captain might be taken
wherever he could be found.—With this answer the poor fellows
very reluctantly left the Office.
A porter at an Inn was fined 40s. for destroying a delivery
ticker, and forging another with an additional charge of 84.

it I CE SEVAN-PENCE

Tuesday, John Standen came up to be heard on,
his Petition to be discharged, and was opposed
on behalf of a creditor who had sued the insolvent
and obtained a verdict against him. It appeared by
the insolvent's examination, that he purchased a free-
hold property in' 1810, with money borrowed from
his brother, who did not take any security till after
the verdict was had against him, when the insolvent
gave him a mortgage, on which he issued execution
and sold the property, leaving nothing for any other
creditor.—The Court said the insolvent had clearly
given his brother an undue preference.—The judg-
ment of the Court was, that he should be remanded
for twelve months.

ROBBERIES BY SERVANTS.—Another lamentable instance of
robbery by a servant upon his master occurred yesterday. Thu.
Inas Mayes, a very respectable looking young man, in the employ
of Messrs. Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, publishers, Paternoster-
row, and who had lived with them nearly a year and a half, was
charged under the following circumstances :—ln consequence of
information which Mr. Sherwood had received, the prisoner was
suspected of pilfering money from the till, and with the view to
detect him, silver to the amount of 12s. and sixpence in copper,
were marked and deposited in the till, which was locked up
about nine o'clock on Tuesday night ; and yesterday morning at
eight o'clock, upon examination, although the till remained
locked as on the previous evening, eight of the shillings had dis-
appeared. An officer was accordingly sent for, who, upon search-
ing the prisoner, found the eight marked shillings upon him, and
three of the marked halfpence. The prisoner, it seemed, was so
short of money, that be had been necessitated to apply to his
master to advance him Li, to purchase shoes, &e: lately; and
yet, in the course of the officer's search, no less than seven sove-
reigns were found in the prisoner's possession, and also a small
snuff-box, which Mr. Sherwood was able to swear to as his pro-
perty. From the good character Mr. Sherwood had with him,
he had been induced to place him in a confidential situation, and
he could have no distress to plead, having his board and lodging
in the house, with a salary of s€2o per amens, besides other pre-
septs. The prisoner offered no defence, but pleaded for mercy
with tears. Mr. Sherwood felt himself compelled, for his own
safety, from the number of persons in his employ, to make an
example Of him.—lfe was committed to Newgate for trial.

Woasorr-sTaxcr.—Henry Case, a stoat yoang man, was com-
mitted by SAMUEL Twirioao, Esq. for trial to Newgate, for a
burglary in the house of George Harding, of helmet-court, St.
Luke's. Mrs. Harding, at nine o'clock at night, went into the
kitchen with a candle in her hand,.and found the prisoner, who
passed by her into the street, where he was stopped. He had
moved some things in the kitchen, and other property was t-ken
away. His person was positively sworn to, not only by the
woman, but by two men, who saw him come out into the street.
The evidence being read over, the prisoner was InforMed, that
he was committed to Newgate for the burglary, when he turned
round to Mrs. Harding and said, " Gun curse you, and may the
At NINIITY strike you dead the hour I take my trial!"
(bare-swam—The Magistrates of this Office have ex-
pressed their determination to persevere in the execution of the
Fowers conferred by the new Vagrant Act, fur the abating that
most abominable nuisance growing out of the nightly resort of
thieves •and prostitutes or the worst description, with beggars,
and other houseless vagabonds, to St. James s-park, where they
have In many Instances, for.some time past been in the habit of
sleepiug and passing the whole night. The depredations and
outrages of those who, pleading as an excuse their inability to
pay for lodgings, lurked there in ambush for opportunities to rob
and plui:der, together with the grossly indecent language and
conduit of abandoned females, bad long rendered it unsafe for
any respectable man, and wholly Impoasible for any female• of
decent habits, to pass through the Park after nigh:fall. The
exertions of the ordinary constables and park-keepers, power-
fully aided as they have been by the almost thorough alumina!
tiou of the whole of the walks by the new gas-lamps, have
hitherto proved inadegtiate to the sappressionOf this crying evil;
and directions have dottier* been given that a party of the how.

Nicholas Fisher, a Commission Agent, came up,
on his Petition to be discharged, and was opposed on
the pait of Messrs. Shaw.and Bennet.

In the course of the insolvent's examination by Mr.
Pou.ocx, it appeared that he had started in Tooley-
street as a leather-seller about the beginning of this
year, being conscious at the time of the embarrass-
ments then growing out of his fotmer occupation.-.
He gaye an acceptance to Mr. Shaw for goods fur-
nished, and exposed to sale openly in prosecuting this
new speculation. The bill itself was made payable at
Sir T. Peering and Co.'s, Cornhill, where the witness
had not any effetts. but with whose house he intended
immediately to open an account. In April the ac-.
ceptance became due, and Mr. Fisher (the petition-
ing party) was then in Yorkshire. Not being able to
take up the bill, and not having in fact opened any
account with the above-mentioned or any other
Bankers, he transmitted a notification to that purport,
inclosing a blank acceptance, which he requested
Mr. Shaw, the principal detaining creditor, to fill up
for a future period, and to be satisfied with this in
lieu of immediate payment. The debt, however,
contracted under these circumstances, had not sub-
sequently been discharged, and so far it was sub-
mitted by Counsel, that the insolvent might be con-
sidered within the reach of the 18th clause of the Act,
which denies its entire and ultimate benefit to all
such as contract debts without probable means or a
reasonable prospect of settling them. But there was
another clause of the Act of Parliament (we believe
the 43d), that was still more inconsistent with the
application now made to the Court. "File present
was not the first time that this party had sought to
be relieved from his private incumbrances, by virtue
of a general law. He had been relieved from a for-
mer imolveacy, and the five years required by the
present Statute: before relief should be extended a se-
cond time, only expired the 23d instant, the Peti-
tion on which illey 'had now to decide hiving been
filed in June last.

Edward Soutten came u? to be heard, and was op-
posed by Mr. POLIOCK on behalf of his (the insol
vent's) brother, and not by any other creditor. .;
It appeared by the insolvent's examination that he
was a carcase butcher and slaughter-house-keeper,
and that he had been arrested by his brother on a
writ early in the year• 1821, to which he gave bail ;
and in January last the cause came to trial, and his
brother obtained a verdict. In Easter Term, the in-
solvent moved for a new trial, and obtained a Rule
to shew cause, which was discharged the same Term.
Immediately after the Rule was discharged his land-
lord put in a distress for rent, and sold everything he
had; the business was continued on the landlord's ac-
count, and the-insolvent's family remained in the home.
Mr. Ilkatti, who was Counsel-for the insolvent,
here stated that the insolvent's landlord was Mr. Pen-
nington, the surgeon, of Montague place, and that,
to preserve the value of the prerni,es, which were
worth several thousand pounds, he caused-the busi-
ness to be continued.

The Chief Commissioner (Mr. REYNOLDS), after
hearing Mr. Heath on the other side, observed, that
intimation had frequently been given of the Court on
all occasions construing the section last referred to
with the utmost strictness: -There had been cases in
which the Court granted its indulgence, from a per-
suasion that misconception alone had caused the irre-
gularity. Rut there was no pretence for any. allega-
tion of that kind.here. The words of the Act were,
that " before the eviratiel of • five yearn from the
date of the party's release under any Act for the be-
nefit of insolvent debtors, he shall not be entitled to
the present." Now they (the-..three.Commissioners)
were jointly of opinion, that in ch....fair coustructiori
of this passage, guided, as he had already said, by its
literal meaning, the right of. petitioning that court
was itself one part of the benefit in question. Tp this
therefore the ilksolvent, in.sitelsa case, was not entitled
until the wholTperiod of five years had e)apsed, and
the petition before them must be dismissed as sigrj-
-1114 sAllinii• Ths.Q4kurt, in4edvs3W-00 objtvaorf

The COURT expressed a wish to hear further evi-
dence on that point. •
Mr. Young, Mr. Pennington's solicitor, was exa-
mined, and proved that he had taken possession of
the premises for Mr. Pennington, who has a large
fortune, and had the business continued with a view
to the.sale of the premises,"and for no other purpose.
The CounTdeclared the evidence perfectly :axis-
*factory, and ordered the insolvent. to be discharged.
Yesterday, on the cases being all heard, thb*Chief
Commissioner gaye notice, that the 'Court world
adjourn from the 7tliaof September to the Int of
October, and wished it to be known-lhat, during the
adjournment, the..Chiof Clerk would attend in the
OWce.to give information to creditors of the days 00
which insolvents would be heard and that an Pacer
of the Court would attend at the several priOds en
