INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 11.

William Taylor, who described himself as a horse-
jobber, was opposed by Mr. Creswell, on behalf of Mr.
Kirkman, of rkznan's Hotel, Brook-street, Grosvenor-
square, and also on the part of Mr. Darby, a livery stable
keeper, in Portman-street, Oxford-street.
Mr. Kirkman stated, that in the early part of the year
1827, having some previous knowledge of the insolvent,
he recommended him to Count Rennard (who was then
an inmate of his hotel), who sent the insolvent to Ham-
burgh, to ship some horses for Berlin. On his return
from thence in June, the same year, the insolvent came
to him, and said, " If you will take less than 60/. for
your grey mare, I know a banker, at Hamburgh, who
will purchase it." Mr. Kirkman agreed to sell it to the
banker for 551. and gave the insolvent an order to re-
ceive the animal. Insolvent then pledged himself that
the money should be remitted from Hamburgh in sixteen
days. On the following day, the insolvent said that he
had shipped the mare off, and witness never heard or saw
any thing more of him until the latter end of last year,
when he caused the insolvent to be arrested. Witness
had since ascertained that the mare had been sold in Lon-
don for 281. by the insolvent.
Two persons who were present when the agreement
took place between the parties, fully confirmed it.
Mr. Darby, the other opposing creditor, said, that in
the month of August, 1828, he had a pony to dispose of,
when the insolvent (whom he had known before) said he
could sell it, and asked the price, which was 20 guineas.
The insolvent agreed to obtain this sum, and witness I
believing he would repay the money, let him have the pony
to sell for him as an agent. He, however, had not seen
the insolvent since, till his appearance in Court.
The insolvent said that he had shipped Mr. Kirkman's
mare to Messrs. Seymour, of Hamburgh, but it was sent
back on account of its being too old, and he then sold it to
Mr. Robinson, of the Angel, St. Martin's-le-Grand, for
281. considering that he had received the animal on his
own account.

The insolvent took the benefit of the Act within the last
five years, and his discharge was also opposed on that
ground. He had, however, succeeded in obtaining the
consent of the major part of his creditors to his discharge,'
agreeable to the terms of the Act of Parlirment.
Mr. Commissioner BOW EN said, two cases of gross
fraud had been established against the insolvent, and or-
dered him to be remanded for sixteen calendar months.
Alexander Laverock, a baker, was opposed by Mr.
HEATH, on behalf of two creditors named Church
and Lynn. The insolvent, in the latter end of April last,
disposed of his busineas for 761. and in k few days after-
wards paid that sum away (except 171. he deposited with
his wife) to particular creditors. On the Ist of May he
was arrested by one of:his opposing creditors for 441. and

,

rendered to prison, where he had expended the 171. left'
with his wife.
Mr. HEATII contended that the payments made by the
insolvent to the particular creditors (admitted by him)
established a clear case of undue preference, and observed
that the sum of 691. so paid, would have realized a divi-
dend of Ba. in the pound on the whole of his debts, which
amounted to 2091.
The CHIEF COM/4 ISS lON ER took a strong view of the
case, and coincided with the opposing Counsel, that the
insolvent was not entitled to the benefit of the Act, accor-
dingly sentenced him to be imprisoned for six calendar
months, at the suit of his opposing creditors.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.

SUNDAY Arnanoos.—This Meeting will be confined to three
days, being one less than usual, and does not sacks so much in-
terest. The only race of any magnitude or influence is the July
Stakes, from which the favourites for the Derby and Oaks are ge-
nerally selected ; this year it brings out nine horses engaged in
those stakes, including The Mummer, which appears to be the best
favourite for the Derby ; In is a very powerful colt, and notwith-
standing his being a country horse, of nearly untried blood tan the
horses side, and opposed to a numerous lot of Newmarket nags, he
continues in high favour. Lord Ezeter's Sultan colt, and Lord
Cleveland's Waits colt, are also much talked of, and have a good
chance, if looking well has any thing to do with it.
It is proper to remind subscribers to the Derby and Oaks in
3831 and 1839, that the nominations most be made either at New-1
market or London, on or before Saturday 'Alt, when the aubscrip-
don will close. The colts and Mlles to be named are now one
year old. The produce of mans engaged in the Riddlesworth
and other produce stakes for 1832, and the bones to which the
mares engaged in the Riddlesworth Stakes, 1833, were sent this
Spring, must also be declared by Saturday nest.
The July Stakes is considered to be the keretone to the great
betting Stakes of the following year, and the odds are materially
influenced by the result. How tar it is entitled to be depended on
may be collected from a statement of the winners of it from its
establishment, and which we subjoin for the information and
guidance of sporting readers :
In the following list of the entries for to-morrow, we have
marked dm t all those colts and fillies engaged is the betty and

cious articles. They then roused him without any ceremony, and
he was at length induced to shake if his drunkenness, and walk

The The Ivan 111111,011 sent the prisoner to Beidewell for three

A Scotckman named Nelms, who appeared in a bog plaid cloak,

street, with having bilked Min of spirits and water, bed, breakfast,

The defendant, it appeared, went Into the Tavern, and called in

Saturday an elderly female named with a child oak
seven months old in her arms, was charged before Sir P. LAMS
with being found in a house in Hancock-yard, Water-lane. 08
Friday last Mrs. Smith, a lodger in the house in question, went
into the back kitchen, where she found the prisoner ender=
to secrete herself. Being questioned, she replied in an
manner,' Hash, hush !as soon as he is gone be away." Am
the wildness of her manner Mrs. Smith became alarmed, mid w*
the assistance of another ledger removed her up stairs. They then
took the child from her,.wheo ' seising a hatchet, the exclaimed,
" See, there be is—be wants to murder my infant, and betas now
two children lying murdered at home !" It required considerable
exertions to deprive her of the hatchet; after which she was ear s
tied to the Compter. She gave the most motile and anneals
mowers to the officers touching her husband's miasma and the
dicer having gone there several persons in the weiglieuelieed
bore testimony to his character, tad the kindness with which he
always treated her. The husband and brother of the prisoner reds 1

fortunate woman, which she gave with an the appearance of sanity
it seemed that on Wednesday evening be came home, remained
only a few minutes, and having given her some money, went to
his employment at a respectable brass founder's. Ina few minutes
the wife went out also, carrying the infant with her, under she der
lotion that the husband intended to murder them both, to prevent
which she carried off a case of razors belonging to him. She
wandered about all night and the following day, imagining that he
was in pursuit of her for the purpose of taking her life, and on
Thursday night took shelter in one of the watckhoutes. Oa Friday
morning on leaving it, sloe fancied she heard his voice urging a
parcel of boys to assist in hie deadly intentions; and hurried away
from place to place, until at length she concealed herself in Han-
cock-yard. The delusion seemed as strong as ever on the poor
woman's mind ; and on first seeing the husband, she shrunk to the
further extremity of the culprit's bar. The husband expressed his
willingness to take her home, but this she firmly refused to accede
to; in consequence of which Sir Pyres, understanding be bad a
settlement in Mary-la-bonne, desired hi en to take hate the toaster
of the workhouse there, whom he (Sir Paws) was sure would do
every thing in his power to assist the poor woman under these dis-

Saturday Captain Richards, R.N. was summoned by the driver
of the hackney.coaeh, No. 407, for the sum of elapeace. The
Captain, who appears to be about SO years of age, and wears his
hair powdered, took his sat on the bench.
The coachman stated, that on the 24th of June the Captain hired
his coach at the stand oppodte the Peacock Tavern, Islington, to
carry him to his house at Paddington. The distance was about
two miles, and his fare was three shillings. The Captain gave him
half* crown, and refused to pay him more, and thrust him out of
his house into the street.

Tba Captain stated that he same from Cheltenham Spa. ma the
24th of June last, and so his arrival at Islington he called the com-
plainant's coach to convoy Idea to his house at Paddington. On
arriving there be gave th• aschman half a crown, who insisted
upon having three shillings, asd behaved very impertinently, and
I. fact, to a man of his rankaaost insulting.
Coachman—Lord, Sir. how can you say that ? I only axed you
for 3s. and you pitched me into the street.
Captain—How due you intaympt me, you vagabond ; I tell you
that.

Mr. Ilatts—Really, Captals. you could not expect from an ua
educated man, language that was elegant and classical; nor did I
conceive that a Gentleman, as you appear to be, wesikl apply the
epithet " vagabond" to the poor man, in the presence of a Magi*.
true.

Captain-14y dear Sir, why I am in the Cerontisdon of the
Peace myself, and hate been for mesa years a Magistrate; and when
I tell you that the fellow had the impudence to ester my hall, and to
demand three shillings, and that be actually put his head apes my
person, you will not be surprised at my applying the term yoga-
bond to him. Do you t►ink I cared about a paltry sixpence ? I
tell you, Sir, that I can pub& 10,0001. in ten minutes, If I
please. I want to know how much I have to pay : I 00 dine

to spare.
The Oak said, that the fare and costs amounted to Ss.
The Captain—What, ft. ! If ever you catch me in those regions
again, may —.- be my portion.
Mr. Hat.s.s—Really, Captain, a man of your rank and education
ought to know better than to use such language.
Captain—Here, take it oat of that (throwing down ball a sove-
reign), and I give you joy of it.
The Captain received the change, and left the office in high
dudgeon.
