A rough draft, of a will in Mrs. Lane's favour, leaving

ARCHES COURT, JUNE 28.
BRUCE V..BRUCE.
This was a suit instituted by Mary Anne Bruce, other-
wise Butler, against Tobias Burke, otherwise Tobias
Burke Bruce, for a nullity of marriage by reason of
former marriage; the husband in this case wai tried
and convicted of bigamy at the Old Bailey Sessions,
and is now on boarfil the hulks at Portsmouth. The
first marriage took. place in June, 1015, and the parties
cohabited together subsequently, the result of which
was the birth of two children.
Dr. PicicAtto, on behalf of the husband, made objec-
tions to the admissibility of the libel, on account of the
too general terms of the charge relating to the former
marriage, the birth and baptism of the children.
Dr. LUSHINGTON and Dr. DoDSON argued on behalf
of the wife.
Sir JOHN NicuoL, in delivering his judgment,"ob.
served that if the articles were of too general a nature,
the defendant must be supposed to know the circum-
stances of the first marriage much better than the party
instituting this suit; and, therefore, he might, if he could,
have contradicted the facts pleaded against him ; and
as the admission of this allegation would only go so far
as to bring forward all the evidence necessary to the
cause, he ordered it to be admitted accordingly.
INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, JUNE SS.
THE METROPOLITAN SOCIETY FOR PROSECUTING AND
OPPOSING FRAUDULENT DEBTORS, ON BEHALF OF
OINIMER AND ANOTHER, V. ROBERT RUMFORD.
The insolvent was this day brought up to receive the
judgment of the Court, his case having been investi-
gated on the 11th instant, when it was alleged against
him, and clearly proved, that he, by falsely represent-
ing himself as the Private Secretary to the Marquis of
Conyngham, obtained credit to a large amount.
Mr. Corms (for Mr. Heath, the Counsel for the So-
ciety) appeared on behalf of Mr. Ginever, and Mr.
THOMPSON and Mr. POLLOCK for the insolvent.
Mr. Ginever stated, that he lived at 17, Arundel-
street, Panton-square, and was by trade a tailor. He
bad known the insolvent some time previous to the
summer of 1823, when he owed witness £II6 14s. 6d.
for the payment of which he made several ineffectds
applications. About this time the insolvent came to
him, and stated that he had obtained an appointment'
as Private Secretary to the Marquis of Conynghsim;
and in order to enter upon hit situation, he stood in
need of more clothes, and not only so, but a temporary
supply of cash, and requested to be accommodated
with the loan of £5O; and to silence all scruples, he
produced a letter, purporting to be written by the Noble
Marquis, and addressed to him, couched in the follow-
ins termc. rommenctnit—,‘ My dear Sir," or, (the wit-
ness would not positively swear which) My dear
Rumford"--" The Marquis Conyngham presents has
compliments to Mr. Rumford, and will meet him it
two o'clock to-morrow, in the Park.

(Sigued)
" Windsor, August 14, 1825.
Envelope—" To R. Rumford, Esq. 14, Queen's.row, Walvrorth."
The witness went on to state, that but for this repre-
sentation, made so plausible, and under the auspices of
such a document, he would not have enlarged his cre-
dit I s.but he had become a creditor for upwards of £220:
The Marquis of Conyngham was then examined, and
the following is the substance of his Lordship's evi-
dence :—I know nothing of the insolvent ; I never re-
collect seeing him before to-day ;he never was my se-
cretary; nor did I ever make an appointment to meet
him in the Park relative to such appointment, and never,
wrote to him in my life.
Mr. Coots.—" Then I presume your Lordship need not be asked
the question as to whether you addressed him as' My dear a; se
My dear Rumford?'"
His Lordship—" Certainly never."
An envelope was here handed to his Lordship, ad-
dressed to the insolvent as before described; which, af-
ter minute inspection, he admitted to be his hand-
writing. His Lordship went on to state, that as a Peer
of Parliament he was in the constant habit of giving
franks, and when any member of the household pre-
sented them to him, he endorsed them, without consi-
dering to whom they were directed ; hence he signed
the frank and direction to the insolvent.
The enclosure was here asked for ; but the insolvent
had not got it to produce.
Mr. Kendrick, a draper, at Staines, Middlesex, was
then examined. The insolvent called on him and made'
similar representations as he had done to the first wit-•
ness. He said he had frequent occasion to go to Wind-
•r, owing to the situation he held as secretary to the
Marquis of Conyngham ; he obtained credit to a large.
amount from. August, 1823, to the end of the year, far
rich shawls, sarcenets, bombasins, Lite.
Mr. Thompson, of Friday-street, Cheapside, made a
similar complaint, under circumstances neatly similar.
The COI= adjudged that the insolvent be remanded
for eighteen calendar months from the date of filing his.
Petition, and that he be confined within the walls of the 4
prison, and deprived of all its rules and liberties, for:
fraudulently contracting debts.
James Osborne, for a like fraud, was remanded for the
same term and under the same restrictions.
POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
UNION-HALL.
Illeuvrae Ross:gm—Merl Gardner and George Fellutvley were
charged with being concerned with amartwho is not in costody,ln
committing the following daring moult and robber":
William Bennet, an iron-founder, residing in Oakley-street, Lam-
beth, was going silting Tower-screen in St. Georges, Southwark, on
Subday morning, about 20 minutes before three o'clock, and was
stopped by three men, the prisoners were two of them ; the man
who is not in custody came up to him, and knocked him down, by
giving hint several tremendous blows on the face with his clenched
hst ; while he lay on the ground, the prisoner Gardner held him,
and l'ellowley Reed his poeketsi nod from his right hand small
clothes pocket tusk four shillings, and from hisweek he took a silk
kerchief. The violence of the blows caused the blood to pour front
the prosecutor's nose and mouth, and his clothes were very much
smeared with gore when he appeared before the . Magistrates. As
he lay on the ground, nearly insensible front the injury I.t had ref
ctiveti. the robbers decamped. Beech' and Boucher, two of th 4
B w

Boucher stated, that he obtained a description of the libbers

(erred against him on suspicion of being the person who uttered a
number of the notes of which Mr. Haines, the steward of Earl
Cowper, was robbed.
At an examination at the prison of. Hertford, before the Re*.
Mr. Ltoro, a few day age, before whom Dadfield, of Shire-harsh
was brought, on suspicion of hoeing received the stolen notes, it was
stated that, on the sth of June, his Lordship's tenantt had paid into
the hands of the bailiff rent to a considerable amount, partly in 51.
and 101. Bank of England notes, and partly in local notes. Those
notes were marked by a Mr. Johnson, who accompanied the bailiff
in collecting the rents, and plated in a chest, with a qdantity of
clothes over them. Three banking-houses at Cambridge proved,
that on the 11th instant they received a number of the stolen notes
from a man who called and asked them (the cashiers) for Bucking-
' hamshire notes, as he was, be said, ping into that country to pur-
chase lace. They had no Buckinghamshire notes, and then the
person who applied to them said he would take their own notes,
which he accordingly did, !eating with them the notes which were
easily identified as stolen property. The bankers have the num-
bers of the Cambridge notes, and.ivill of course be able to ascer-
tain whether or not those which were found upon Dudfield are of
that number. The examination was postponed, the notes in ques-
tion not having arrived from London.
The whole enterprise, it appeared, had beeh so contrived, that
'several agents were, on the Morning after,the robbery, at different
parts of the country changing.the stolen notes.
Hisketh, an active officer of the police, stated, that in conse-
quence of a description given to him hy Mr. Fisher, of one of the
Cambridge banking-houses, of the person who had uttered a part of
the stolen notes, he suspected Solomon. to be the man. He accord-
ingly called upon Solomon,, whom be knew, and took his word
that he would appear at the Mansion-house, to answer any charge
that might be preferred against hits.—Solomons attended.
After hearing evidence, the Loop MATOIL did not think: the iden-
tity of the prisoner at all clear, and be was discharged.
Solomon& agreed to come forward when called upon, and was set
at large upon this understanding:
GUILDHALL.
Aver& Hack was charged on suspicion of having entered the pre,
miles of Mr. Watkins, a calico-glazer in MankweU-street, and
stealing therefrom a quantity of printed cottons, valued at IESO.
Mr. Watkins, it appeared, did not reside in the house where be
carries on his business, but arriving there yesterday morning, he
found the before-mentioned property stolen, and upon examining
the shop ascertained that the entrance of the thief had been effected
taking up some of the looting from the cellar. His suspicion
ately fell upon Joseph Hack, who had come to the house on
y imploring relief, and having been ensploied an hour or
12,11, received is. ed. MMus procured the assistance of a Marshal-
-1 inns, Mr. Watkins took the prisoner into custody, and instead of
lading him in distress, they found he had 245. in his poeist.•
The prisoner, in accounting for himself on Saturday might, mid'
he slept en Sagas-hill, but this turned out to be false ; and on ac-
counting for the 245. he said it was part of 12 which he aiiiiked
by disposing of some pawnbrokers duplicates of his clothes, and
had made his plea of distress to obtain employ:neut.—Remanded
for further examination.
