This was a suit instituted against the Rev. Dr. Tree,

tition should be brought in on the next Court-day.

scribed by the regulations of the Court.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, NOV.

William Joseph Well, was opposed by Mr. Pottoox,
for Messrs. T. and G Alderson ; and by Mr.
for Messrl.Pontitex. It appeared that the insolvent,
who had administered to ter effects of his father, re.
ceived several debts due to him, through agents, subs*,
quontly to his petitioning the Court, and executing the
assignment of his proßerty.

•
Mr. Hurts observed, thazall.wbo had paid him shut
the assignment was executed mast• pay over again.
' The ins'lvent'denied having-lost money by gambling
since his imprisonMent ; but admitted that he was one
of those who had been taken by. the Marshal before thy
Court of King's Bench for gambling. Ile never cii.%
however, play for any sum that signified ; he neither
loit nor won a pound by gambling. When he received
the amount of some of the debts due to him. he was not
aware he was doing wrong, as it was not then his inten-
tion to take the. benefit of the Act.
Mr. HEATH said that he believed lie should have to
apply to the Court to transfer the case to Plymouth,
under the new Act, if they did not dismiss the petition.
The COURT said they might be inclined to dismiss
the petition, were it not that the creditors had had an ,
opportunity of making, these objections when sheaving
cause against the rule nisi.
The insolvent, upon further examination, stated that
he had shipped property to Van Diemen's Land, con-
'sisting of seven casks, which contained clocks !Blight
of Messrs. Pontifer ; and other goods, which he could
not specify, as he had lops the bills of parcels. They
were shipped in the name of Gribble, with other goods
of his (Gribble's) own. He had no bill of lading ; nor
was any insurance, to his knowledge, effected on them.
It was here stated to the Court, that the insolvent had
intended to have gone with his goods to Van Diemen's
land, but that his bail, with the assistance of the insol-
vent's Newfoundland dog, discovered him concealed in
one of the casks on board the vessel.
Mr. COOKE (Counsel for the insolvent) said, that was
not the fact : and the insolvent stated, that so far from
that tieing the ease he was arrested in the boat, and not
on board the vessel. The dog, he said, is now at his
brother's, and in good keeping, he hopes.
In consequence of the preliminary objections, no re-
gular examination of the case took place; and it was
adjourned generally to file a new balance-sheet, with
four days' notice to the opposing creditors, the insolvent
to pay the costs of the day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
IluntrArey Marh, one of the most desperate thieve: in the City,
war brought before the Loan Maros, charged with having robbed
a Revenue officer of his watch, on Sunday morning.
Hooker, the Revenue officer, stated, that as be vas going along
St. Mary-axe, at twenty minutes after eight o'clock on• Sunday
morning, accompanied by a brother officer, the prisoner walked up,
to him and made a violent pull at his watch, which he succeeded
in getting nut of the lob. The witness immediately seized the
prisoner by the arm, and a very great struggle took place between
them, during which the thief threw down the watch in despair of
getting off With it. He then suddenly disengaged himself from the,
grasp of Hooker, and ran off as hard as be could, through a num-
ber of alleys and lanes. The *hue* and his friend, El/wrier, fol-
lowed him closely, calling out " Stop thief !" and succeeded in ap-
prehending him. The robbery and the pursuit took place in the
presence of numbers of people.
The officers said that this thief was certainly one of the most
daring and incorrigible they had ever beheld, and that there was not
stone or a board in Newgate with which he was not acquainted.
He was fully committed for trial, and as he was going out he
told the Lord Mayor that he knew nothing at aU about it.

GUILDHALL.
Pat.sa Patesti.—A respectabledooking old man, who gave his
name Themes lieemolds, and who has, it seems, formerly moved in
a respectable sphere of life, but is now an inmite of the Iron-
mongers' Company's almshouses, in the Kingland-road, was charged
by Thomas Ivemey, the servant to the Brentford carrier, with at-
tempting to trick him out of 10s. 6d. ih the following manner. The
prisoner brought a small parcel to Mr. Stephens's, the Magpie and
Stump, Newgate-street, the booking-house for the Brentford carrier,
directed tot' Mr. Merril, watchmaker, Brentford," with 10s. 6d.
marked on it. and desired Ivemey to give him that mosey. and Mr.
Merril would repay him on the delivery of.the parcel. The carrier
happened not to have so much money about him, and the prisoner
*mild not leave the parcel. He brought ft again, however, on
Saturday, when the carrier was better prepared, but be having
heard of tricks of this kind that had been played off some time ago.
at the west end of the town, thought it right to consult Mr. Stephens
upon the subject. At his suggestion the prisoner was informed
that Kim came in the landlord would give him the money. He did
so, and was detained; the parcel was opened tr. his presence, and
found to be two pieces of wood, enveloped in a bed of hay.
Before the Alderman, the prisoner pleaded distress as the cause
which had driven him to so dishonett an attempt. fie had a wife
and family, he said, and had been out of employ a considerable time.
Pike, the officer who searched him, and who had since ascer-
tained his situation
,Ito be as already stated, produced pretty strong
proof that his distress was hot very urgent, be having es. W. in his
pocket when taken into cwitody.—The prisoner was remanded.

l'atten was then held to bail for the two assaults, and the zit'

i A young woman, named Harriet Johnson, was charged by a sAme
'fellow of very shabby appearance, named faniel nnipsoii,
grossly abusing, and ultimately assaulting hitt', about two o'tl kat
,the morning, in Bond-street, which compelled him to give lee: in
charge to a watchman.
The girl, in her defence, gave this account of the transastio—
she said, that the complainant was a dischargtd Vi atrhniati from :Le
parish of St. Mary-la-bonne, and that he was by trade a jour .'mat;
shoemaker; but notwithstanding ad- this, and the sh::131•y app,a.

The watchman in Bond-street confirmed the girl's statement,
to the extraorilimary exhibition which the complainant makes
nightly in Bond-street, in point of dress.
The Magistrate said, front the white and delicate appearance of
the complainant's hands, it was very clear he did not work much a:
the trade of shoemaking. The girl was immediately discbarged.

Sanotsel &acerb!, a shopkeeper, residing in Gray's-inn-lane, was
brought up under a warrant, charged with a very audacious out.
rage, committed on the person of Mrs. Mary Anne Collier. The
complainant, a young Lady of peculiarly prepossessing manners
and appearance, stated, that between right and nine o'clock ou
Friday night; she was passing through Grays-inn-lane, when the
prisoner, who was closing his shop, let one of the flautter4 fall out
of his hand, whether through accident or design she would not un-
dertake to say, but the result was alike unfortunate, as it struck
her on the head with such force, as, for a time, to render her inca-
pable of supporting herself, and she was obliged to lean against the
wall; whilst in that state, the prisoner approached, and in accents
rather of irony tlfila of soothing, said, t‘ What's the matter with
you, my pretty dear—why do you stand here alone ?" Not having
sufficiently recovered the stunning effects of the blow, she could
not immediately reply, though sensible of the implied meaning
conveyed in this unfeeling address, and merely motioned him to
leave her ; but, instead of doing so, be added insult to injury, by
taking her suddenly in his arnis,, forced his hands into het hosora,
and took other indecent liberties with ber person. She sunniest,
for release, and called for assistance; however, by the superiority
of his strength, he bad nearly forced her into a dark passage, when
the apploach of the watchman and another person, induced him to
set berree, and he then took refuge in his own house.
The prisoner, in defence, admitted the falling of the shutter,
which was entirely accidental; but for the remainder of the
charge, be declared it was altogether false. He called a countr y
looking fellow, but he could say nothing on his behalf; and he
was ordered to find bail.
