INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Juraz 12.

James Shepprd, who said he resided at Gainsford, in
the North of England, was opposed by Messrs. Coral
and Bastard, seedsmen. of "Bristol.
The insolvent was declared a bankrupt in 1825, but
bad not obtained his certificate. In Dee. 1827. be in-
formed the opposing creditors that he bad some tam to
dispose of, and they forwarded him a bill of exchange
for 701. on the understanding that the tares were to be
shipped to them immediately from Liverpool. Some
time elapsed, and the tares not having arrived. the
opposing creditors applied to the insolvent. and he then.
stated, that the ship in which the tares were sent, had
been driven out to sea. in a storm, and the tares so se-
verely damaged that he sold them for a mere nominal
sum. Messrs. Core and Bastard ;ben _demanded the
bill of exchange. but the insolvent, having obtained
cash for it, offered to send other tares; but the opposing
creditors refused to accept them, and arrested the in-
solvent. The insolvent was unable to produce any evi-
dence of the shipment of the tares.
The COURT observed that the case was pregnant with
suspicion, and remanded the insolvent for six months.
Mr. Lewis Bernard Sapio. of Covent Garden Theatre,
was this day declared entitled to the benefit of the Act.
and ordered to be forthwith discharged, no opposition
appearing.

OLD BAILEY SBSSIONS, June 12.
NEW COURT.
Refers Mr. Sergeant Alan&
ROSIRIT ST • ESUALE SERVANT._ _

Mary Ann Brown, alias Ryan, alias Donaldson, was
indicted for stealing in the dwelling house of Mr. Geo.
Wheeler a coat, various articles of plate, and other
property, value 101. and upwards, his property, and a
purse containing three sovereigns, the property of Miss
Ellen' C lar ke.
The prosecutor stated that he lives in Orme•sq* gate,
Bayswater, and is a surgeon. The prisoner was his
servant five or six weeks previous to the 29th of April,
when the robbery was committed. Oa the day last
named, she left his house in a very sudden manner, and
almost immediately after she left he discovered that not
only the articles named in the indictment but other pro.
petty had been taken away. Her abrupt departure
caused suspicion to rest upon the prisoner; in fact so
other parson,.in his opinion, could have committed the
robbery. Part of the property had been since discovered,
and would be produced by other witnesses.
Mr. Sergeant Attalla—Lest a wrong impression
shotild go forth (though the question need hardly be
put), I ask you—Did you take her as servant in the
regular way ?
Mr. Wheeler—l did, my Lord, and her wages were
to be ten guineas a year.
Hld you a character with her ?
' Witness—l had. She brought a letter, which at the
time satisfied me. The property taken away was worth
more than 151.
Ann Allen stater; that she lives in Lion court, Wig.
more street; knows the prisoner at the bar. One day,
some weeks back. the prisoner left a gown and table
cloth with her which she afterwards took awaY. During
the time she was at her (Alias's) house she saw parr
of nut crackers which she thought was silver; they
were in the prisoner's possession. She afterwards heard
of the robbery at
.Mr. Wheeler's, and then she made a.
disclosure of what she knew. The prisoner ohone oc-
casion acknowledged that the things belonged to bet
employer, and if she pledged them she meant to redeem
them. _ _

The officer who apprehended the prisoner produced
two duplicates which he found upon her person, which
led to the recovery of the property which be bad to
produce.
Mr. Wheeler looked at the property produced (part
only of that stolen), and identified it as his property.
• Miss Ellen Clarke smote to a purse produced, and
.sehicb contained three sovereigns; they were safe •
short time before the prisoner left.
The prisoner attempted to invalidate the evidence of
the witness Allen, by insinuating that she enticed ben
to leave the things at her house, and also to take lodg-
ings there.
Mrs. Allen indignantly contradicted this, and turning
to the prisoner raised her baud and said, " Oh, you
wicked woman!"

The prisoner then made a long defence, which cow
sisted of a sophistical attempt to palliate rather than to
deny her crime. In the course of it she said, that Me
'hothead had Jong cohabited with smother woman, asidl
,heisig deserted she sometimes drank too freely.
. The Loused Judge summed up the evidence, sod.
*observed, that he could not see how the Jury could
arrive at any other conclusion than that the prilamq
was the thief, and that she took the property all ate*
time; if they were of that opinion, tbairdoty wouldba

Mr. Weave remarked, that in order to coustitute the charge an

order that the prisoner be locked op till the evening, and deprived

Accounts from various manufacturing districts shoiri.:
that though the stir in trade is slow, yet is is on thetas-
proving side. In the North of Ireland, the wasvrees are
represented as having borne their privations with
degree of fortitude and resignation which is highly CA.;
ditable to them, entitling them to the sympathy of all'
classes. In Glasgow, several additional weavers were
engaged by one house, at the-last, October prices; at
Paisley and Johnstone, more hand. were employed; and
the'cotton works were going on full time.
