LAW INTELLIGFNCi.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUGUST 4.
REV. Du. LLOYD'S CASE.
This day the Rev. Dr. Lloyd was again brought
up before Mr. Serj.int RuNtrawroa, to have his
claim for release, under the Act for the Relief of In-
solvent Debtors, now fully investigated. When the
Rev. Doctor was examined for the first time on Wed-
nesday last, objections were taken to his discharge,
in consequence of his having been already released
from his debts by Lord Ellenborough's Act, two
years ago, and the subsequent Act disallowing a se.
cond relief before the expiration of five years from
the period of the first. The case accordingly went •
on upon the first day. Its general features were,
that the Rev. Dr. Lloyd, who formerly held the
Hebrew Professorship in one of our Universities, had,
at the express desire of the Rev. Mr. Hay, undertaken
a seminary at Barnes, late in the possession of that
Gentleman. This successorship was accepted with
the knowledge, on the part of Mr. Hay, that the Doc-
tor had no pecuniary resources, and had only a short
time before been discharged from prisori on azcount
of his insolvency. The school soon after failed, with-
out any blame attaching to the then proprietor, who
was, notwithstanding,. arrested on the first of eight
bills of £5O, which he had agreed to pay for it, be-
coming due ; he was also involved in the neigh-
bourhood of Dunes for sundry household expenses.
in the course of the investigation on Wednesday it
came out that Dr. Lloyd had bought some plate of
Messrs. Randell and Bridge, which was immediately-,
pledged at a certain pawnbroker's, in the vicinity 01
the Doctor's residence.
The hearing of the claimant's case was adjourned,
with the view of.enquiring into the truth of this fact,
and he appeared in Cotirt this day tdr that purpose.
The examination was therefore re-commenced by the
Counsel for Mr. Ploman, the opposing creditor. In
explanation of the purchase of plate, the Doctor as-
serted, that when he called at Mr. Rundell's be re-
ferred the jeweller to a relation of his, and agreed to
pay £33, the amount of the purchase, by a sort of
memorandum or draft, not a note or acceptance,
which was to be payable soon alter Christmas, at a
house in Fenchurch-street ; the principal of which he
admitted he never knew, but he was in the habit of
p eying 13150 a year to the Doctor for the board and
lodging of a young French Gentleman, a pupil of hic,
and lie meant that his annuity for diet, &e. should he
let to stand over to discharge this bill, and Mr. Run.
Jell was aware of that fact. He could not say how
soon alter the pin ,:tiase the plate had been deposited
with the pass ribr•ler —could not tell whether it was
within three days, or more or less. His schedule
had no effects, and his support in prison was a depen-
dency upon voluntary subscription, which was for-
warded to him by the most eminent men in the church
and at the bar.

His wife had property left to her, in wikh he had
no interest, and did not know its amount, being inea-
packed by want of money from getting a copy of ea
will, and the truster relusin:4., to let hint see it.
Mr. Pou.ocx, the prisoner's Counsel, addiessed the
Bench at considerable length, in which lie regretted
that the prosecutor's case had been so exaggerated by
the opposing party.
The Learned Judge, in recapitulating the evidence,
put the point of the purchase of plate, and the subse-
quent disposal in a variety of forcible shapes, and rc.
gretted that the Doctor was not catitled to the relief
he claimed. •

Mr. Pou.r.cat applied for his discharge from all other
opposing creditors except Messrs. Mundell and 131
Mr. Serjeant Ruaniaarou would willin:;ly make
this order.if k could be sltewn that the Act impoweied
him so to do.

This remains over to be considered ; the case lasted
the whole day.

MANSION-HOUSR. —aria°Nur •Xitt, an African,
was yesterday charged by several respectable inhabi-
tants of St. linolph, Aldgate, as a common 1/4g.1.
bond, and with various acts of imposition. The pri.
caner, it appealed, had long -practised a system of
begging, pretending to he a shipwrecked slave, with
a sick wife and five children. He was committed to
hard labour in Bridewtll.

UNlobr HALL—Richard Lawler, a school-master,
was charged by Mrs. Hudson, a respectable-looking
woman, with having cruelly beaten her non, a child
about five years of age. The defendant did not deny
having beaten the child, but said he had been guilty
of various faults, and among the rest of playing
truant, and therefore it was his duty to correct him.
The Magistrate observed, no conduct on the p at of
such an imfant could justify the severity of the punish-
ment which had been inflicted on him, and ordered
that he should find bail to answer the complaint at
the Sessions.

MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY, OR Misr/mg.—At the close
of the last Session of Parliament, Lady Liverpool
was among the Peeresses who attended the House of
Peers to observe the ceremony of Prirogation by the
Prince Regent ; the Duchess of Orleans was in 'her
Ladyship s company. After the Prince Regent had
left the House, Lady Liverpool proceeded to thew
the Dachas all that WAS curious or inte.resting, and
left the Peeress's bench to go across the House to ob-
serve a peculiar part of the tapestry. Previous to
doing this, her Ladyship threw off a valuable India
shawl, Worth about 1.50 guineas, laying it on one of
the benches. In about five minutes her Ladyship
returned to her scat, for the purpose of taking her
shawl and departing, but no shawl was to be toand,
although instant inquiry was instituted. Inquiries
were afterwards made in every possible direction, it
being
.thought that sonie lady. might have taken it
away in a mistake; advertisements, offering a reward
for it, were issued almost daily, but all in vain. Not-
withstanding this want of success, the parties not
being able to hear any thing of it, Sir T. Tyrwliitt,
the i Usher of the Black 1(d, Sir R. Conant, &c.
commenced all possible investigation after the shawl.
A few evenings since, some time after dark, a de-
cently-dressed man knocked at the -door of Mr.
Wright, one of the officers of the House of Lords.
'Who resides in apartments belonging to the House,
and inquired for Sir T. Tyrohitc; .me nn hearing
that Sir Thotnas was not th2re, be left a brown paper
parcel, saying, that he would call again in a day or
two. On the parcel luting opened, the lost shawl ap.
peered; but no one has since called at Mr. Wright's.
according w promise.
