INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Fics. S.
—esp.

Richard Claud, late a ceach•proprietor at Hammer-
smith, made his second application within the space of
five years, which circumstance gave rise to considerable
inquiry. It appeared that the insolvent was discharged
,by this Court in the year 1824, but during the time he
was last in prison, he gave a warrant of attorney, in
order to procure an earlier liberation therefrom, and
that be had also, since such liberation? renewed the
debts of other creditors, from whose arrest he had been
legally absolved. The Court said, that if these credi-
tors had known the Act of Parliament, they would have
understood that they could not obtain any legl advan-
tage by having their claims renewed under such cir-
cumstances; but at it respected the insolvent himself,
the act was his own, and he must take the consequences,
for his could not be considered a case where an insolvent
was driven to a second application owing to losses
or other unavoidable circumstances ; the Court, must,
therefore, treat it as an ordinary case, and remand the
insolvent until he gets the consent of three-fourths of
his creditors, for him to be heard upon his petition.
James Stephen) a Stock Broker, applied to be dis-
charged under the Act of Parliament. He was not
opposed. The insolvent was one of those persons who
seemed to have speculated largely in the mining trans-
actions and shares in different Joint Stock Companies.
He said he had lost 6001. by shares in the Brazil Mines,
and 8001. by Poyais Bonds. He bad also been engaged
in the Scarlet Dye Company, in the Plate Glass Com-
pany, in the Window Glass Company, and in the Ro-
man Brick Company, in all of which he had been un-
successful; and all these losses had led to his insolvency.
The furniture in his house cost him about 3001. but
when a distress was put into his house, it wars all sold
for about 60/. which was paid to the landlord. He had
iro books ref account, as they were always destroyed
when tilled up, but he had not destroyed any since he
went t a prison. The petitioner was discharged.
The COURT was occupied the remainder of the day in hearing
several cases, possessing not the slightest inn:test.

pens, of Rnssis, died on the 7,d inst. of dropsy.
Mn. O'Corstiat.c.—A paper published at Ennis, in
Ireland, says—" As impartial Journalists we cannot
refrain from informing our readers, that Mr. O'Cor4-
Neu. has retrograded seriously in popular fame. Indeed,
his arrogant and offensive vituperation cannot exalt him
in the opinion even of 4 the people.' He affects to de-
spise the Press, and yet hisfrequent sallies against news-
paper attacks, afford a convincing proof teat he
penetrable to assaults. Mr. O'CorsNata.has at length
e►en exasperated the Register I According to the
r;poits of that paper, Mr. Sum is ascendant as an
Orator. At the late election, the latter Gentleman's ex-
altation in the opinion of the higher order of the Catholics,
aas emphatically estat)lished. At Tuesday's 'Mee ing,
when Mr. Otosrarna. rose, the clamours for SHILLf

. In

Sir THOttiAS thieirpn, leaving been appoieted Chair-
man, stated that the Meeting was assertlttled for the
purpose of procuring the means of tsturiing Mr. Cob-
bett to a seat in the House of Commons. There was no
man who knew so welt what ought to be dyne for the
good of the country as Mt. Cobbett ; he was the most
able and consistent politician of the day 1 To Mr. Cob-
bett he owed everything he possessed in the world.
Sime resolutions would be submitted to the Meeting,
which he hoped would be adopted.
A person proposed a resolution, which declared the
propriety of raising a subscription to procure Mr. Cob-
bett's return to Parliament.
Mr. Pima WALCES seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
Mr. COBBETT said, if he had been reterned to Par-
liament in 1819, instead of having been driven from
that place by the rich and bloated ruffians who lived
upon the labour of the honest and kind-hearted poor
people of Coventry, the present .distresses never would
have occurred ; and now they had occurred, he was the
only person who knew how to get rid of them—( Loud
cheers).—He did not like to say much about himself,
but everybody knew that nobody knew anything about
the causes of the present difficulties but William Cobbrtt
—(Applause).—lf he were in the House, he would make
the Members' ears tingle in weft a way as they had
never tingled before, or he would allow himself to be
beaten like stockfish.
Mr. H. Hurrr said, that Cnbbett had talked about

making the Members" ears tingle ; but that would not
satisfy him. Before he would promise Mr. Cobbett his
support, he (Mr. Cobbett) must repeat a pledge which
he made in 1806, in writing; it was this I never, as
llong as I live, eithrr for myself, or for, or through the
means of, any pne of my family, will receive, under
any name, whether of salary, pension, or other, either
directly or indirectly, one single farthing of the public
money.' He had no doubt that much good would re-
sult from Mr. Cobbett's being in the House of Com-
mons; he was an able arguer, and could maintain all
'sides of a question—(Hisses, and a cry of " Y have
come here to make mischief.")—After some other ob
ser vations, Mr. Ilunt retired, and wa4 succeeded by

Mr. Cosine, who mid he considered it unnecessary to repeat
the pledge which he made in 11108. What he once said, he always
abided by—(Applause).
Resolutions for furthering the object of the Meeting having been
passed, and a vote of thanks to Sir Thomas Breyer, the Meeting
dispersed.
