INSOLVENT DERMAS' cam; AUG. se.

Da. LLOYD'S CASE.
Mr. Pou.oce applied to have a rnienisi, which he
had obtained in this case made absolute. Dr. Lloyd
had been opposed on two grounds ; first, that within
two years he had taken the benefit of Lord Encabo-
rough's temporary Insolvent Act; and secondly, that
during his last confinement he was once out of the
rules; and on the latter point the Commissioner re-
manded him. Dr. Lloyd, by affidavit and Counsel,
now complained that he was taken by surprise, not
expecting the second point to be urged against him,
And added, that though he had gone out of the roles
he had net done so iilfully ; that be transgressed in
ignorance of the strict boundaries ; he only went as
tar as the new Bethlem Hospital, and was out of the
rules but fifteen minutes. It was contended that such
case came within the 55th clause of Lord Redesdale's
act, which gave the Commissioner the discretionary
power to determine whether the misconduct of an in-
solvent debtor was such as ought to prevent him from
obtaining his discharge. A rehearing was therefore
claimed.
Mr. ANDREWS opposed the motion, maintaining,
that the provisions of the act placed this peculiar case
beyond the reach of the CommissiOner's discretion.—
The act said, that the prisoner applying for its benefit
should have previously been confined three months,
but it had been proved, and the prisoner very pro-
perly remanded on that proof, that he had not been
confined during such period, having escaped from
the rules.
Mr. Serjeant Runwincrorr deemed himself em-
powered with ample discretion to take cognizance of
Dr. Lloyd's case, and as the Doctor's facts had not
been disturbed by any counter affidavit,' he should
order the rule to be made absolute, he paying costs,
and a rehearing to be had on the Bth of September.
Rule absolute.

MANSION HOUSE.-LATI ROBBERY A/PGRANTHAM.
—.Yesterday the charge against Awe Sarni, for steal-
ing 2000 guineas in gold, and nearly £lOOO in bank-
notes, the property of Mt. Askew, of Grantham, was
again investigated..Saand Hart, the guard of the
Grantham coach, as an 46 accessary after the fact,"
was also re-examined.—Tn behalf of the latter, his
solicitor held, that as there was no evidence adduced
itgainst him, beyond the mete disrespect he had :hewn
the officers when the enquiry was made after the wo-
man, and es at that moment he• was not altogether
Fiber, he might be discharged, upon a promise of
coming forward to give evidence in the case, when
called upon. If this suggestion was not attended to,
he would propose bail.—The LORD MAYOR differed
in opinion with the solicitor, with regard to the accu-
sation against the prisoner. There were. in his mind,
strong grounds of suspicion against him, inasmuch
as he had secretly harboured the female prisoner in
his own house ; and besides his denial of the fact to
the officers, and his unwillingness to give them infor-
mation, he had been merely driven to a confeuion,
through alarm when conveyed to prison. The
parties were then again remanded to a future day,
when it is expected the whole of the property will be
discovered.
Benjamin Mathews was charged on suspicion of
stealing a quantity of Marine stores. It appeared front

hall-street. On his shoulder he carried a large sack,
and he occasionally looked round as if in dread of
being pursued. This excited the suspicion of tho.
Magistrate, and he followed bins closely until ar-
riviog at St. Mary Axe, when the prisoner attempted
to make a sudden turn that way. He was, however,
stopped by Sir William, who demanded his business
and the nature of his parcel ? These he refused to
[give, assigning as a reason, that is his Honour had
put right to interfere in othet men': matters." The
Worthy Baronet, however, conveyed the prisoner,
after a feeble resistance, to the watch-house, where,
upon examining the- sack, it was found to contain
marine stores, clothing, &c. to a considerable amount.
The prisoner still refused to give any satisfactory ac-
count 'of himself or the property ; but as there was
little doubt of their being stolen from his Majesty's
stores, he was remanded until due enquiry should be
made. _ _ _ -_ _

Mary Perry was remanded, chargod with robbing
a seaman of £l5.

QUZIN4QUARE.—Yesterday 41exaader MATT/4k,
charged with being a deserter, displayed the most
astonishing strength. He was brought to the bar in the
custody of three privates and a derjeant ; and on the
fact being proved he was ordered to the Savoy. He
swore be would not go, and that no one should move
him. The four men in whose custody he was could
do nothing with him ; and he for a long time foiled
their efforts, aided as they were by four police offi-
cers ; nor would these eight men have succeeded had
they ;lot thrown the prisoner down, and then nearly
strangled him ! Nrtwidistanding this he kept his
hands behind him, and even in this position it was.
with difficulty that the spring handcuffs could be
fastened.on ; nor would he then walk, the eight rqr.n
literally carried or rather dragged him away.
UNION HALL.•••-Yesterday JOAN and Menai Joan
two boys, brothers, were brought up, charged with
stealing coals from the wharf of Mr. Lack, a coal.
merchant, at Vauxhall. Mr. Lack stated that he bad
lost considerable quantities of coals from his pre.
wises, and had mote than once detected the prisoners
pilfering, and warned them to desist, but without its
having any effect. Oa Saturday last he detected
them carrying off a considerable quantity of coals is
a bag : finding, therefore, that remonstrances had no
effect, he gave informationito an officer and bad them
apprehended. The boys confessed they had taken
the coals without Mn Lack's permissioa. They were,
therefore, committed for trial.

-A New TRICC—Two mates of a Jamaica ship
having called a coach in Graceebarch•street, on
Tuesday the 15th instant, the coachman, ssho pre.
tended to be engaged, said 64 to what place ?'
a Sadler's-wells" was the reply. He then said, 44 I
have a servant maid in the coach going half your
way, I will ask her permission to take you." The
pretended maid readily consented s it was nearly
dark, and before they had got to her destination one
of the sailors found that he had been robbed of 04.
No doubt the Coachman and the fair one shared the

On the 2d the ice broke partially up. so that the Earl
of Fife. and other six in company, as below, got out.
The Don and other six ships were about ten or twelve
miles north-west, and they did not get out at thattime.
but Captain Wilson says, he had little doubt but they
soon would :

We axe informed that Dr. COOPER, and three emi-
nent Surgeons, of SO years experience in Strictures,
Fistulas, Debilities, &c. kc. have established a Medi-
cal Board at Charlotte-house, Great Charlotte-street,

opposite ROWLAND HILL'S Chapel, Blackfriar's-road,
where the public are relieved from the most dangerous
diseases without salivation sr confinement. The In-
stitution claims the attention of those who may have
attempted the cure of themselves, or who have been
so unfortunate as to consult men ignorant of se im-
portant a branch of the profession, whose improper
treatment have mercurialized thousands out of their
existence—eruptions on the head, face, and body, sore
eyes, throat, mouth, and nose, vertigo, noise in the ears,
deafness, dimness of sight, often, ending in blind-
ness; pains in the head and limbs, frequently mis.
taken fur rheumatism ; extreme weakness in the knees,
swelled ankles, with a general debility, &c. are only a
few ofibe dreadful symptoms which frequentlyappear
years after, and too often embitter- the matrimonial
state. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are consulted daily by
all ranks of people, from ten till eight. or by letter, in-
closing a fee (for no others are answered), stating
their case, when medicine and the best advice is sent
to all parts of the kingdom. They also cure the
piles and fistula,• without burning or cutting, and
give advice gratis, on Tuesday. Thursday, and Sun-
day mornings, till twelve o'clock.
