INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, February 2.

.Tain tug was opposed by a creditor named John Shea:croft
a talkie.

The Insolvent came up on the 6th ult. when be underwent a
long examination by his opposing creditor. It appeared he had
merely described himself as clerk and assistant, without stating to
whom or la what line of business. It turned out, co examination,
that he was an assistant to what was termed a " subscription-
home," at No. 10, Kiststreet. St. James's ; he was pressed to give
the names of Ms employers. and after conddenble hesitation be
stated that were only two proprietors of the house, named
Disbrow, and Eppingbam. He had lived with a female named
Maria Du Puts, whom he had represented to his creditors to be his
wife, in Clarendon-square; the house was well furnished, but be
declared that the lease of the house and the furniture ail belonged
to her; from Clarendon-square they removed to Walcot-place,
and from thence to Bidborough-strett. His salary was about 3001.
a year, and be stated in his schedule that his insolvency arose from
the expense to which he was put by supporting his mother and sisters.
The Cocas required further proof that the furniture was not the
insolvent's. and In consequence. Maria Du Pula was called, who
swore that the furniture was hers, having been given to her by a
gentleman 16 years ago. She also produced the deeds of the se-
veral houses in which she and the insolvent had lived, and they
were all in her name.

The Cons? ordered the cue to stand adjourned, to enable the
insolvent to te-adverdee, describing his occupation more distinctly
than merely as " clerk and assistant." They also observed
that it was quite preposterous, seeing bow the insolvent bad
been living, to suppose that his Insolvency arose from the expenses
attending the support of his mother and sisters.
To-day, the insolvent again came up, having in the interim de-
scribed himself as belonging to a subscription-house in King-street,
Bt. James's.

The Court observed, that no case of opposition had been sub-
stantiated spina him, and therefore he was declared entitled to
the benefit of the Act of Parliament.

Abraham Law's, a farmer, late of atzlentore. in Sussex, was
°P by two creditors, named William Lamont and John Tribe.
igsld Court called the first-named opposing creditor forward, and
be got into the witness-box.
Caw Cosoustuonza—What relation are you to the insolvent?
Lissom-1 am his son.
Cum Cotoussoxisa--I see by the schedule be owes you 4100,
Have you an questions to put to him?
Lassam.—No.

Came Co'anassott
against your father?

re you any 'eidetic* td ft,. yourself

- .
Lassam—No.
Cum Comatusscumn•—Or any witnesses to call ?
Laseam—No. (Loud laughter.)
CM'S' Cossumuom—Then what do you come here for?
Lassam—To oppose my father.
Carus Coarsuassosixa—There are only titter modes of doing that
either by examination, by giving evidence yourself, or by calliai
witnesses. Will you choose to do ooe of drive three things?
Lammas—He owes me £lOO.
Outs Comannuosiss--Do you wish to give any evidence ? Do
you complain of any thing?
Lassana—He owes me £lOO, and
Cuter Comusasomas—Well, Sir, and what?
Lassaus—And I should like to have it. (Loud laughter.)
Cane Comassaawasa—ls that all you wish to say?
Lassam—Yes.
Cater Comussuoosa—Then you may wand down.
At the request of the other opposing creditor's Counsel, who
said, that as it might perhaps be necessary to examine the son as a
witness, he was ordered out of Court during the examination of
the insolvent.

The insolvent was then examined at very great length, when it
appeared, that in May, 18211, he sold all his property at Billingburst
by auctioni for about 11041. about 861. worth of goods being bought
by himself and sense friends for him. Two waggon loads of fur-
niture were removed from Billinghurst to Haslemore, part of which
he bad given to his children, and the rest be bad subsequently dis-
posed of. Excepting the 881 worth of goods bought in, be bad
spent all the remainder of the produce of the Mir upon himself.: In
March, 1829, be was arrested, but remained at large upon bail
until the 3d of November, when he rendeted to the King's Bench
prison. The ellSOlVeln was nest examined as to the disposition of
other property, no mention of which wasanade in the schedule :
the account given by the insolvent was extremely unsatisfactory,
and his vista sect testimony was cutnpletely at variance with his
balance sheet.

It was contended on behalf of the opposing creditor, that there
was a concealment or fraudulent disposition of property.
Mr. Coon addressed the Court for the insolvent.
The Cum Consumaneza said, it appeared quite clear to the
Court that the insolvent's balance sheet was so constructed, that it
would not only give no information, but it would deceive the ere-
dims,. The case must therefore be adjourned, to file a new spe-
cial balance sheet; and further, as it appeared that the insolvent
had, just before be came to prison, given hie son a colt, for which
he bad paid 418, that must be given up to the creditors.
The case was then adjourned.
John Owen, a ship owner, painter, plumber, and glazier, late of
1 Aldermanbury, was opposed by Mr. Nichols, on behalf of Messrs.
Chrystal an.l Sun.
The insolvent. in his examination, stated, that be had purchased
a vessel, called the Mary Ellen, from his opposing creditors, for
4500, paying 4100 in cash, and the remainder by bills, none of
which have been honoured. He purchased the vessel merely to
serve his brother, who was appointed captain of her, and who had
the entire management of every thing relative to.the vessel, order-
ing repairs, Ste. which the insolvent had to pay. About seven
months ago the ineolvest usortgaged the vessel- es Mr. King, of
Misting lane, for 4600, and about four months ago Mr. King sold
her (by be insolvent's cement) by auction for 44W. He bad also
a lease of his house in Aldermanbury, which be deposited with a
Mr. Philpots four or Ave months ago for a debt of 4440, that per.
ems having previously had a warrant of attorney for 4900, and a
promissory note for 450.
On an inipsWon tithe insolvent's schedule, It appeared that all
the ekcumatances Maths to the warrant of attorney and promis-
sory note were omitted, and that be bad not properly accounted
for tie dhpoeitiess of the 44W mosived from the sale of the venni,
The Came ordered the case to be adjourned, to supply the de-
frets in the insolvent's schedule.

ifattaew Beaseiee, a native of Austria, was opposed by Moses.
Eddie and Dade, said three other creditors.

Tbe insolvent aimed that he bad been discharged in this Court
five years ago. &ace then Imo had bean twice in prison, and Wag
asked what his real same was, be said it was Matthew Martin
&nimbi Booackh.
A Credlust—Four news, by wish* you cos ring the changes
sixteen times you know. (Lestgliter.)
The lambent stated that be petitioned Ibis Caere is me, by
the name of Martin Brestaehl, and be had elute brought a■ whoa
against Mown. Udders and Dadds In that name, thus Meeting his
two middle names, and mew* me Waded* by am.
The Coast held that as the insolvent bad not petitioned this
Court by his full ssrsas the petition could not stand.
The intolvent's petition was then dismissed.

With some dillicuhy he stated he was a parishioner of at. Mar-

they had refused to relieve Mist, He was in that state uf distress
that he must soon either perish from cold or hunger, for he was

Mr. Mansion told Mr. Painter, the overseer, that The wretch, .1
man must be relieved immediately.
Mr. Painter said it should be does, and desired the applicant to
go to the workhouse and wait until he came, and be should be ad
mined Into the house.

Mr. Maaasoirs—Par Goo's sake, Mr. Painter, get him to the
workhouse as fast as possible, or he may perish In the streets.
The poor fellow was then sect to the workhouse.

TOWN-HALL.
Michael Mal was charged with attempting to steal a silk hand
kerchief from the 'hop-window of Mr. Monday. linendraper. In th,
Borough. The prisoner was secured in Bed Lion-paisap, and
taken back to the shop, where he seised a poker. and made a furi-
ous effort to escape. The whole of the handkerchief not bang
moved, owing to the corner tearing of, the case did not amount to
a felony ; but the prisoner, being known as a reputed thief, wag
connulued to Brlztoo for be full term of three months.

UNION-HALL.
A good-looking man, dressed as a butcher, wbo gave Ms name
lewd= isteries, was brought op before the Magistrates, charged
with having stolen two large pieces of meat from a butcher's shop
in Newgate•market.
The person who appeared against the prisoner was an elderly in-
dividual, who merely requested that the prisoner might be re-
manded, anti! Mr. Wikon coed attend; but as that did not seem
satisfactory to the Magistrates, as the prisoner vehemently pro-
tested his innocence, we give his own account of his apprehension.
Saturday last, be went to Mr. Goodelsild's shop, with whom he
said he was io the habit of dealing, and bought a piece of meat.--
On the Monday following, he went and purchased two more pieces,
for which he was to pay sometime during the week. These piece.
of meat he took to his brother's shop to sell, who was a butcher
St George's-market in the Borough.
By some mistake, the porno from whom be bad bought the
meat, Mr. Goodchild, put them down to the account of a Mr.
Wage. who had very large dealings with bins (Mr. Goodchild.)—
Upon the bill being seat in to Mr Vinton, be immediately'denied
having mined each a quantity; and upon hearing that the pri-
soner bad obtained it, without waiting for an esplanade)°, bad him
arrested. Upon this statement, Mr. Caesurae' was about to dis-
charge the prisoner, when Chief Constable Hall stepped forward,
end stated that his brother was now ender confinement for trial on
a limas. charge.
The prisoner was then sent over to the Manama House, the of-
fence having been committed within the jurisdiction of the City.
TH A M RS-POLICE.
A middle-aged woman, with an infant in her arms, and See little
children, preferred a complaint against the overseers of Ratcliffe.
The applicant stated that her husband, a coal-whipper, had his foot
crushed, and the limb amputated, and was now in the Heepital.
She had applied to be admitted with her family to the work-house,
but had been refused.
Mr. Lewis, the assistant-overseer, said the applicant was allowed
Se. a-week. which the overseers thought sufficient for the support
of herself and family.
Mr. 8110DZIUP said that 55. a-week for the support of seven per-
sons, less than a penny a-day for each Individual, was not enough.
It was at length agreed that the woman and her family should be
received into the house.

FIRE, ATTENDED WITH LOSS OF LIVE.-Between
the hours of ten and eleven on Monday evening, a fire brok out
in Brunswick-street, Blackfriare-road, at the house of Mr. Street, a
mathensatiaal instrument maker. The engines were presently at
work. By this time two or three person, who were lodging in the
house, had got their goods into the street, and it was not known that
there were any other individuuls on the premises ; but presently
Mr. Street, to the horror of the by standees, rushed out amongst
them, enveloped in flames, his clothes were literally burnt off his
back, and the Barnes were not put out until a hrge quantity of
water had been thrown over him. The sufferer then called out.
" Oh, my poor wife," when he fell down in a state of insensibi-
lity, and was immediately removed to the Hospital. By this time
the fire had been much subdued, and, on Parkins, of the Globe
engine, going into the roan in which it was supposed to have ori-
ginated, he was shocked to observe him Street upon the floor
burnt to a perfect cinder! Mr. Street is not ezpscred to recover ;
both himself and wife were upwards of 70 years of age.
