INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 3.

FAILURE OF MESSRS.KNIGHT AND LACEY.
Henry Lacey, late a partner in the firm of Messrs.
Knight and Lacey. was brought up on his petition to be discharged.
He sons opposed by Mr. Mahon on behalf of Messrs. Alderman
Key and Co. stationers, and Joseph Robertson, Esq. and by Mr.
Salmon, of the firm of Cunningham and Salmon, in person.
Messrs. Cooke and Dunn were Counsel for the insolvent.
The insolvent's schedule was of very great length. The debts on
the schedule, most of which have been contracted since the bank-
ruptcy. amounted to 2,478 L 175. 11d. Debts owing to the estate,
1,7x51. se. Sid partly bad and partly. doubtful.
The insolvent examined—When myself and partner went into
business, in !NM we had capital to the amount of about 700 f. the
furniture and liztures'were worth five hundred pounds more. The
amount of our debts, at our first failure, in January, 1826, was
about 60,0001. We had about one hundred pounds in cash after
our bankruptcy to begin again with. Mr. Joseph Clinton Ro-
bertson was the editor and part proprietor of " The Mechanic's
Magazine," in which we bad a considerable share. Mr. Robert.
son was not the sole proprietor. He received 5001. a-year for
performing the duty of editor. Its circulation was very great;
lac one time it amounted to thirty thousand weekly. We had also
another work, called " The Pulpit," which bad a good circu-
lation. After our bankruptcy Messrs. Ireland and Duckworth,
the printers, of Fleet-street, became our securities to the as-
signees, Messrs. Edward M'Hoy and David Sydney, for the
payment of the debts owing on account chiefly of " The Me-
;the:des Magazine ;" and this work and " The Pulpit" were
I then assigned to us by them. By a deed, dated June, 1827, we
assigned to Mr. Robertson, in consideration of the sum of £1,200,
Ito be paid by bills, the copyright of " The Mechanic's Magazine."
This was done with the consent of our assignees. We received
some accommodation bills from Mr. Hernensan, of Leeds, to the
amount of about £6OO or £7OO. The old debts of the bankruptcy
were not included in the bills we gave him in return. I believe
balance of those debts was included. We gave him also a mort-
gage on our premises. M . Ireland and Duckworth, when we
failed, were creditors to the amount of about £5,000. We assigned
them a large stock of " The Mechanic's Magazine." " Pulpits,"
and stereotype plates of " The Mechanic's Magazine."
The Cuter Cossmissuntes here interposed, and observed the ex
*ruination had better be restricted on that point.
Mr. Mamie then put in the deed of assignment to Mr. Robert-
son. Mr. Robertson was the bona fide proprietor of" The Mecha.
nk's Magazine."
Mr. Came, for the insolvent, said, if the Court considered the
deed of importance, the whole of it must be read ; but the fact
Was, Messrs. Knight and Lacey bad assigned the copyright of this
work for a consideration, no part of which has been paid.
Examination of the insolvent continued by Mr. Cooke—The
consideration money was to he paid by Mr. Robertson in bilis;
these bills were taken up by Messrs. Bodden and Walters, solicitors
to the commission of bankruptcy. Messrs. Ireland and Duckworth
also paid part of them, and ourselves the other.
To further questions the insolvent said that he left the concern
with only 71. 4s. in his pocket, and the furniture of his bed-room.
Mr. Morris Salmon, of Fleet-street, printer. opposed the
insol-
vent in person on behalf of himself and partner, bit. Cunningham.
He stated that be was a creditor for 1081. for printing a work en-
titled" Public Cbaracters"—(A laugh).
Cross examined by Mr. Coosa-1 have received, as a security,
a considerable stock of Pulpits"—(Laughter). They were sent
us to prevent our striking a docket. We coneetited.not to do this,
and also discharged an action to recover 401.
Mr. Couse--Did you ever issue such an advertisement as this?
—(reading)—" In the press, and shortly will bepublished, a-copy
of the schedule of Messrs. Knight and Lacey • &bowing. how two.
young.man can eater business with a capital d 5001., and in a short
Wiwi become bankrupts fur 60,0801., and fail a second time for
20,0001. Price sixpence."
Mr..Salnsoor-Yes; I thought. by exposing them, I should get
my. debt. (Geese Unglues .)
Mr. Salmon then vzundeed insolvent—Have you any interest Its
your brother's house in St. Paul's Church-yard ?
Insolvent-.-No.
Do you not mean, if you get your discharge from this court. ha-
mediately to commence business there?
Insolvent—No.
The Cniat Coossmuozza—Suppose he does it will not he dis-
reputable for him to do so, unless you can show that he has pro-
perty there which ought to be given up to his creditors. I have
heard this long and irrelevant examination with patience, because
I did not wish that any creditor should have the slightest °masks
to say that his opposition, was not attended to. Your questions (said
the Learned Commissioner to the insolvent) have been very pro-
perly answered, and you will be discharged.
The Collar then appointed Mr. Alderman Key the &soignee, and
renounced the Walston entitled to the benefit of the act, and
ordered him to be forthwith discharged.
James Wm. Morris was brought up. from the Kings Bench pri-
son on his petition to be discharged.
He was impend by Mr. Heath ms behalf of a bon of ladies
(lodging-borne-keepers), with whom he-had contracted debts of
various amounts, under the assumed names of Captain Grant. Mr.
Wallace, Mr. Wall. &c.
After the examination had proceeded some length it. as ascer-
tained that the insolvent had not correctly deseribid various rest-
deuces where be had contracted debts, and the Chief Canada-
Diener consequently dismissed his petition.
Mr. Hearst said the insolvent bad assumed as many shapes as
Pruteus, bat. if be bad any dificaky in supplying the omission of
his multitudinous names and detcriptions. he could refer to the
various militia returns with which be bad favoured so many paddle'
in the metropolis.
As soon as the insolvent bad mounted the box, some female in
the gallery fainted, and was carried out of court.
Thomas Delete, a genteel-looking man, was opposed by Mr.
Nodose sad four other mantes. •
The eippashei creditor said he lent the insolvent 2001. to start in
Wives% and be wished to make a few inquiries relative to the
wooer in which he bad disposed of some of his property, particu-
larly a large quantity of wine and spirits, which be had shortly be-
fore be went to prison.
The insolvent said he had been recommended by his doctor to
drink wise, in preference to mak liquor or spirits; " so," said be.
" I ordered flee dozen of wipe, soma gin, rum, and brandy."
Courussionaa—Well, and what became of that wine and spirits?
Insolvent—l have drunk it all ;me and my friendt.
Cossuuroonaa—How long were you in drinking it?
Insolvent—Five weeks.
Cosusissumeng—How much did you take to prim?
Insolvent—None. Sir.
coanamarorrear..What did you drink there !
Insolvent—Milk and water.
Cosorissaoinun!- Well, you appear iu good health; I should have
supposed, that atter having drunk. so freely of wine aid spirits a
sudden trausition to milk and water would almost have caused
death. (laughter.)
Inacriveot—The wine was" mighty• good." and I an eccom
mended to refrain (runt spirit.. (Lengkter.)
Csiumastosan—Of course there are nu spirits in prison
Insolvent—Them is nuntalloorred. (Bursts of laughter.)
'[he opposing creditor then said that the insolvent bad contracted
debts with ninetailors.
It tensed out, however). that there. were only six tailors.
Tba opposing creditors said that abortly before the insolvent rent

about him, was brought before the Loan ?dime, charged with
having attempted to violate a very simple-looking girl, aged IS
years. The mother of the girl appeared to be in a state bordering
upon distraction.
Mary Rowed, the girl waning. stated that sloe had been clean-
ing lire-irons in the ball of her mute's house, while aM the family
were out. except the prisoner and herself. The prisoner was Wow
in the cellar, and be called witness to look for some Wee jugs. The

Committee of Banker., waited upon the Loss Maros to acquaint
his Lordship with the attempt mad. by IhNitakesd. who was
about a month ago committed to prison to take his trial foe rob-
bing the St. Neon's Bank, in conjunction with two others, oat of
whom is named Adder. The ease with which Hellinshead got
out of prison certainly argues but little in favour of the prison
system at St. Neon's. It appears that some ladders were, whether
by accident or intention, we knew not, left whist's the walk ot the
prison, at the very part of an others where Hoillosbead and the
other prisoners, who were very likely to take advantage of such
an opportunity, were ceased. It happened that the keeper of
the prison was In the front, at a distance from the spot, and that
the workmen who bad been labouring, went to dinner. Hollins-
bead, upon seeing the "chance," proposed to scale the wall, and
his motion was acceded to, new me. Several prisoners got over,
and ran along through thefields.but the eye of inquisitiveness was
after them. Some country people, who were labouring in the
fields, raised a hue and cry. upon wits* a set of fellows so unlike
their honest neighbours, scouring along the meadows. They were
seen lurking about the hedges. and watched until the Governor
received intimation of their escape. A party of constables was
immediately sent after them, sad they were pulled, one and all,

cion of maltreating a watchman named George Dee. belonging to

which was, that in passing through Ireland-yard, on Sc. Aodrew's.

That one of them, with black whiskers, had knocked him down.
struck hies repeatedly while on the group& and had jumped on his
breast and belly with his knees. That he tried to spring his
rattle, but the rest of the men prevented him, and" while he was
down treated him in a strangely contemptuous. and indecent
manner, which we cannot particularize. He was conveyed to the
hospital inwardly hinted, with one leg broken, and the ankle dis-
located.
Matthew Foy, a womanise in Wardrobe-terrace, said he heard
a faint springing of the rattle, and went in the direction of he-
land-yard. but hearing all was quiet. he called out, " Where are
you ?' Dee answered, that he bad been ill treated by five or six
men, who had broken his leg. and were gone away. He obtained
assistance to carry Dee to the hospital.
Benjamin Elowell. a. wheelwright, la Ireland-yard, said be
came home at twelve, with a butcher in Shoemaker-row, and
meeting Des, they asked him to drink with them. which be
agreed to. and they all went Into the Horse Shoe. in Friar-street,
Ireland-yard : here they remained twenty minutes, and then the
Lindland cleared the home, the prisoners being in dr:dipoles*. The
watchman was talking about sparring, and saying they would be
of no use against him, when Soper said he thought be could knock
his bead about. He was sure hr should give him (the watchman)
• the first dap on the heed. They both stood in. attitude. and he
could not tell who struck the first blow, but the, watchman had the
Ant fall, and oe getting on Miley again, was going to strike Super
• with his stick ; r cried oat, " Do you mean that ?" and they
had another round, which ended in the watchman edam, and
e tripping up" lathe kennel. Soper wrenched the stick frees him
while he was down, and said he should use nothing but his fists.
The watchman did not get up, but said his leg was broken ; upon
which somebody said, " Ob. he is a d—d cur," and they all •
walked away. the rest of the primmer did sot interfere during
the Immo—nor did they Ukase him whoredom,
Dowdrey, the night cuoitable, said that Dee was perfectly sober
when be went on ditty.
Bonfield, a constable, saw part of the affray, and heard the
watchman cry out that his leg was breams. The landlord refined
to tell the names of his gusts who had ceeseiete4 the:amok
but their persons were known to witness, and he procured their
addresses from Bowel.
The prisoners in their defence gave a version of the affair similar
to that told by Bowen.
The Atemosen committed Soper for the assault, and discharged
his companions.

The prisoner's mother was delivered of so illegitimate child in

A fin broke out on Saturday evening, about seven
