cated to the officers, they imMediately recollecteda
well-known thief of that name, and, what was of still
greater consequence, that he. bears a strong resemblance
to. Harris in personal appearance. These several facts
were communicated yesterday morning to Sir. Richard

13irnie, and the worthy Magistrate having ordered.the
officers to spare neither' trouble nor expense in the
prosecution of their inquiries, went himself to the Home
Secretary's Office. The result of the whole iniestiga-

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' oqpftr, Abquarig,
Thomas Glanwell, formerly Of Cavendish-street, Ca-
vendish-squares hair-dresser, came up to be heard on
ibis Petition. •It appeared that the insolvent's debti
were contracted between 1794 and 1799, when he was
arrested by a persOu of the name of Fisher, at whisse
suit he has been in prison• for tiventy:five years! Be
went on to state, that he had repeatedly offered to pity
a part of the money, and give security for the re.;
mainder, which was always refused; hence he was
obliged. to remain in custody, where he subsisted by the
exercise of his' profession. The reason why he could
not obtain his liberty was, because the estate of the fatal
Thomas Thomai, Esq. who owed, him a considerable
'um, was in Chancery.
' Mr. PLATT, his attorney, observed, that he had made
in ineffectual endeavour to find the representative of
the original plaintiff. •
Under these circumstances, the Count. required that
Mr. Platt and the insolvent should make a joint affi-
davit of that fact, and then (as an attorney connected
with some one of the representatives had been served)
the discharge Might issue.
William Webster was opposed by
.Mr..Pol.Loca, on'
behalf of Mr. Crafter„of the Ordnatnce,...-
Mr. Pota.orpft stated, that Mr. Crafter was Ordnance
Storekeeper, at Gravesend, where' the insolvent was a.
shopkeeper. The insolvent wrote to the Duke's 4 Wel-
lington, Mastet-General of the Orditari4; accusing Mr.
Crafter of an improper disposal of the stote.s. The ac-
cusation was in consequence inquired into, by order or
the Duk4 and proved to be wholly Unfounded ; not-
withstanding which, the insolvent stuck a printed paper
in his sluip window, repe.iting
.the accusation. • The.
Duke of Wellington being informed of this proceeding
the part of the insolvent, directed Mr. Crafter to
bring his action against him for 'the- libel, otherwise he
should be dismissed the service. Mr. Crafter, in con-
sequence,•brOught bisection, and obtained a verdict for
two hundred pounds damages, which the insolvent has •
•nothing to pay..
The insolvent stated, that immediately after the ver-
dict, his landlord put in a distress for rent, and swept
away everything he had, not leaving him a bed to lie
en.—The Count discharged the.insolvent..

• NEW LAW COURTS.
•
Wednesday was commenced the foundation for that
portion of the New Law Courts adjoining. Westminster
Hall, which had been pulled down, pursuant to the re-
:cornmendatioo of the Commons Committee oh the
,subject, Mr. l3ankes, Chairman. The. former buildings
were erected according to the plans of Mr. Soane, the
architect; and it will be remembered that the Venetian
front and windows, which faced Palace Yard, were the
peculiarities particularly complained of. All that front,
-with the Venetian windows, Ike. have been pulled down,
and the skeleton of the buildings remained in such state
for some time; eventually, however, the amended plan
has heendetermined upon under the sanction of the
Treasury, and, as already mentioned, the works recom-
- minced.* The front, in Palace Yard, in line with the
grand entrance into Westminster Hall, will be some-
, what more in aCcordanee with the new. -stake buildings
facing Henry VIVA Chapel and St. Margaret's Church.
'There wilt now be three, large Gothic. windows,, instead
of the obnoxious Venetian-windows ;'and at ;hemmer,
'there is to be an octagon tower; 7.ofeet bigb. The Opiate
