INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 14.

Job Rickard Taylor, a furniTure-broker, was opposed by Mr.
Coosz, in behalf of Cornelius Bower, and by Mr..loseph Laloyd,
a creditor, in person.
Mr. Woonnor r appeared for the Insolvent.

Francis Pike exausined.—ls clerk to Turner and Pearce; they bad
commenced proceedings against Matthews; the aeuon was on a
bill of exchange. Witness bad seen the insolvent in Whitecrosoft
Street, and asked him to name the person who accepted the bill. when'
the insolvent used abusive language, and in consequence of his re-
fuge' they were obliged to withdraw the record.
Cross-examined by Mr. Woonnoeen.—They bad arrested
William Matthews: they wanted evidence against the person who
(draw the hill.

Mr. Coots.—We cannot go to trial without the information.
The CHIEF Cousitsstootti.—.lt is a very reasonable request.
Mr. WOODIIOI,FIC. - I think not, Sir t there is sufficient stated
on the face of the schedule : the bill was admitted.

Cnt ET Cotemissioxsa.—Well, Sir.go on. lam doing wrong
in 'giving my advice.
Insolvent, examined b Mr. Woonaoirrc.—He met Bower, and
told him he wanted to have a bill discounted. He had business
with Matthews. Bower waited at the Black Horse. lie remained
there near an hour. The bill was for 271. at two months ; but he
only received 231, for it from Bower. He bad bills done for 301.
before, for which he paid Bower 21. He was never required to put
his mark to the bill in question. Mr. Bower has seen him in
prison ; he came several times ; they had ale together, and he gave
him (ineolvent) 2s. 6d. not to put his name in the schedule. In-
solvent said it was his duty to do so. Bower said he would oppose
him, if he did: he said if the insolvent would say who put his name
to the bill, he would withdraw all opposition.
Bower examined—He is the hostile of St. Giles's parish ;
he saw the insolvent in prison; he never asked him to leave the
debt out of the schedule; he asked the Insolvent who wrote his
name, and who Matthews was, when he said he would inform him,
but he never gave him the desired information. He paid him but
231. having deducted a balance due upon a former bill.
By Mr. WooDaorre—He did not keep back the 41. by way
of discount; he would swear this.
Mr. Joseph Lloyd then entered upon his opposition. It appeared
that he held a bill of exchange, accepted by the insolvent, for 341.
7s. 7d. for which he gave value; he proceeded against the insolvent.
Wm. Willis, a sheriff's officer, proved that he arrested the in-
solvent on the 39th of April, but let him out of custody upon his
assuring him that his name was not Job, and that he did not know
the plaintiff; finding, however, that he had been deceived, he took
him again on a Sunday, on account of the sheriff.
The Chief Commissioner.—l cannot assist you on account of
Matthews.

The insolvent was finally ordered to be discharged.
James Worts, late of Whitechapel, baker, against whom a com-
mission of bankruptcy had issued, was oosed by Mr. Adolphus,
on behalf of Mr. Lewen, a flour-factor, and other creditors.
The Chief Commissioner inquired of Mr. Adolphus if the Insol-
vent had contracted any debt since his bankruptcy, to which Mr.
Adolphus teplied he believed not, but that blr. Lewin had not
proved his debt under the commission. It appeared to him to be
a family compact to cheat the creditors.
The Chief Commissioner--Is not the jurisdiction out of our
hands, and have not the assignees sufficient power in themselves 1,
Mr. Coosz regretted that he had not the good fortune to see his
learned friend more frequently in this court, but he could not Ice
the utility of going into an examination which must have been en-
tered into before.

After some further conversation, the Cruz, Costssissioxsa
gave Mr. Adolphus liberty to proceed.
From the examination of the insolvent it appeared that he had
commenced business in Welstead.street, Somers-town, in 1827,
where he contracted a debt with his father, who afterwards struck a
docket against him. It further appeared that the insolvent had bor.
rowed money of his brother to the amount of 1501. to whom he had,
furnished a considerable qauantity of flour. This not ap ring on
the face of his special balance-sheet, the Court d that the
ease should stand adjourned " sine die," for the purpose of correct-
ing the defect, and that four days' notice be given to the opposing
creditors.

the nature of cloth so well, that when any one of them was seised
by the collar, he par a twist, and was free In an Instant.
The Loan MAYOI admitted the ingenuity of the defence of the
officers but told them that if they did not mind what tby were
about, they would exchange characters for valour with those
whom they had in vain endeavoured to master. And it would
be a very pretty distinction if the constables of the city were called
flora: (laughter.) His lordship then advised the defendant to
avoid any contest with theFlinta, but assist in any of them
who should assail him before a magistrate. He also monished the
constables to proceed with more energy in preventing breaches of
the peace. His lordship trusted that, for the sake of their families,
all the Mints would se soon as possible be convinced of the pro-
pviety of becoming Dungs.

signment of the licenses, (without any sanction from the Magis-
trates,) and an entry of his name at the Excise office, sufficient au-
thority for carrying on the trade till the annual licensing day ; and
he had disregarded repeated notices to attend at two of the eight
licensing-days in a year, which he had already passed over.
Sir Jonx PEURING said the truth was shortly this. A person
about to take a publie.-house, should not conclude the bargain till
his entering has been actually sanctioned by the Magistrate. He
fined the defendant 51. and warned him that he should fine to a
heavier amount, if he should be detected in offending again.

pearance, a master baker, residing at Great Bell-court Coleman.
street, was brought up, charged with assaulting J. Goodwin, No
212, Division (1. and with tearing his coat.
Goodwin stated that on the previous night the prisoner obtained
permission to enter Charter-bouse.square, at half-past eleven o'clock,'
being half an hour after the gates are shut ; be represented that
was going to call upon Winson, Paul, and Vincent; the gate-keeper
observed that he passed the door tithe house that he had
ed, and the gate-keeper called to the man in charge of the =;103 s
prevent Mr. Alorat passing dummth. This occasioned an
expostulation, and Goodwin was Wledln to take Mr. Moffitt
custody.which Mr. 11. resisted, and in the scuffle tore the coostabk's,
cost ; Goodwin exhibited the rent in his uniform to the Magistrates„l

and pointed out the deficiency of several buttons.
11r. Moffat, In defence, said that be was going to the persons
had described, to procure medicine fora child of his own who
sick.

Mr. Sergeant Szt.s.ow told the constable, Goodwin, that he
had acted very improperly I that Mr. Moffat had a right to enter
Charter-house-square to visit his medical adviser, that his hav
passed the door, which might have been a mistake, was no season
why he should be dragged off to a etation-honse, and he must be
dischamed.
Goodwin seemed confounded at the decision, and when he got out
of the Magistrate's presence gave vent to his feelings In no very
measured terms. He would go that very moment to the station
house and tender his clothes to the Commissioners—he was not going
to be used In this way, to be knocked down, have his cost torn,
and then a Magistrate to my that he deserved I will give
them their b—..d clothes, and send the d—.d pollee to the

Uutow.fiaLt..—The owner of. ferocious dog Wei summoned
before Mr. Swabey, on a charge of permitting It to goat large un.
muzzled, owing to which neglect 4 young lad had been severely
bitten by the animal.
The complainant stated that as his son was that morning paining
the street in which the defendant resides, a large dog rushed out of
his shop and seised the boy by the fleshy part of the thigh, upon
which it inflicted a deep and dangerous wound. After the injury
had been done the lad wee conveyed to a neighbouring surgeon, I
.who, ea a precaution against hydrophobia, cut away the parts adl'a.l
sent to the wound, and the little sufferer was now confined to hie
bed. The complainant added, that it bad been since ascertained'
that the dog was not mad, but that it was naturally of a ferocious'
and surly temper, and that the object of his (eomplainant's)appeer.'
ing against the defendant was for.the purpose of compelling him to'
destroy so vicious en animal.
The defendant claimed that slaying his faithful dog would be ael
bed as devingliniedf of oar of his own members. The animal'
had been in the,famlly, and Its should therefore regret to see'
bha knocked on the bead.

The Aleglnmate said, that unless he consented to have the animal.
desunyed, the penalty for the offence of permitting it to go unmuse
sled should be Mined,

The defendant, after some consideration on the choice he had to'
make, at length consented that the dog should be killed, to pave
himself from the other alternative; and with this decision the
complainant was astieded, and withdrew with the view of seeing it
into immediate execution.
