INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

—mow— •
Some curiosity was excited among the spectators on
Saturday morning, by the appearance of a foreign Jew,
named Hone Moses. Being entirely unacquainted with
the English language, he was attended by an interpreter.
through whom he communicated with the Court. No
opposition was made to his.discharge.
Abraham ,Martia, another Jew, was opposed, on the
ground that he had rented a house, and was in the pos-
session of a considerable qttantity of furniture, sincethe
time stated in his schedule. It was alleged on the part
OT the opposing creditor, that his name had been, since
the same period, on the parish books; and that, there-
fore, an assignment which had been by him made of
certain property to his son, was a mere nominal transfer.
The insolvent, on being examined as to these points,
denied them, and was remanded for a few days, in
order to give time for him to adduce his proofs.
Benjamin Wok, an actor of the late Royalty Theatre,
obtained his discharge without opposition. The appli.
cation of this unfortunate man was grounded on the fact,
that he had a wife and 10 children, and that his means
of livelihood had been destroyed by the burning of the
theatre, at which he had an engagement.
James Mash received the judgment of the Court, for
having procured credit by false representations of him-1
self, and was sentenced to six months confinement
'within the walls of the prison. Mr. Wilberforce, jun.
was the opposing creditor in this case.

Accounts from Leghorn state, that a large 64-gun
ship, built for the Pacha of Egypt, was launched on the
10th instant.
Since the year 1819 various causes have occasioned'
the suppression in the single town of Warsaw, of no
less than three scientific, two political, two satirical,
seven literary, two Ladies', one musical, one agricul.
tural, and one Jewish periodical publications.
Saturday the Grand Jury for the county of Middle.
sex returned a true bill of indictment against Augustus
O'Neill, John Waldron, and John Mathew Boland, for
a conspiracy to defraud a Gentleman of the name of
Mildjo of his money, by unlawful gaming at cards.
Yesterday the six wretched men who are ordered for
execution on Wednesday next, attended Divine Service
in the Chapel of Newgate, when the Ordinary, the Rey.
• ' Mr. Cotton, preached the condemned sermon.
They appeared serious and attentive. One of them
(Hayes) was most distressingly agitated. Some of the
other prisoners, particularly the females, were deeply
affected. It is understood that three of the condemned
men assert their innocence of the crimes of which they
were convicted—namely King and Robinson, for as-
saulting and robbing the beadle of the Episcopal Chapel,
Bethnal Green, and Boyce, for committing in that neigh-
bourhood the like offence, upon Mr. Fuller, a surgeon ;
he was also convicted on another indictment for a-high-
way robbery.
Hayes, who was convicted of stealing goods in the
dwelling-house of Captain Pascall, at Poplar, is a man
of an astonishing athletic form, and appears to be a
seaman. He by no means expected to suffer death for
his offence; and when the awful tidings were commu-
nicated to him by the Reverend Ordinary on Thursday
evening, he fell senseless on the floor of the cell. He is
a native of Ireland, and being a Catholic, has been
attended by the Rev. Mr. Devereux, a Catholic priest ;
theotber two unfortunate men are Nicholls and Goulby,
who were found guilty of a robbery upon a poor man
at Hackney-wick. Nicholls has a wife in an advanced
state of pregnancy, and three children. Goulby is a
poor, forlorn, orphan lad, about 18 years of age, and
has no appearance of ferocity about him.
The following are brief notices of the several offences
for which the culprits are doomed to suffer:
Juba Hayes is 25 years of age. He was convicted of
breaking into the dwelling-house of Captain William
Larkins Pascall, who resided at No. 150, East India-
road, Poplar, on the night of the 11th of July, and
stealing therein glass articles, &c. of some value. The
prosecutor offered 501. reward for the apprehensi'n of the
robbers; and Lion Levi, a Jew salesman, residing at
No. 1, Bore's-buildings, Cutler's-street, Houndsditch,
Ito whom the prisoner had offered part of the stolen pro-
perty for sale, was the means of having him apprehend.
ed, when the prisoner made a most violent resistance.--
The prisoner had formerly been employed by the pro.
secutor—a fact which, no doubt, operated much against
him when his case was considered before the Council.
James Boyce is 25 years of age. He was tried with
Henry Boyce (his brother) and George Houghton, for
assaulting Mr. Fullers Surgeon, at Hackney, and rob-
bing him. Henry Boyce was acquitted, and the other
two convicted. The Privy Council have not decided
yet upon Houghton's case. Boyce was in company of
a gang of desperate thieves when he committed the
above robbery. There was ene circumstance which
appeared in his favour on the trial. When the gang was
beating the prosecutor, Boyce said, 64 Don't hurt him;
let him give us what he has gor." He was tried upon
a Second indictment for assaulting Mr. James French,
in Hare-street, Bethnal-greeo, on the 26th of June, in
company with a daring gang of thieves, who bad been
the terror of that neighbourhood, and robbing him of
his purse, money. &c.
Gone Nicholls, aged 24, and James Goulby, aged 18
years, were convicted of a highway robbery upon a poor
old man,. who obtained his living by selling shrintps and
oysters at different public-houses. The prosecutor,
William Nicholls, on the night of the 29th of-June, had
been selling his fish at Haggerston, Homerton, art.
At the latter place he entered the Adam and Eve pub.
lic-house, and sold some shrimps to the prisoners, wham
he particularly observed. He left the house at 10 o'clock
at night, having in his pockets a shilling, seven penny-
pieces, eight halfpence, one of which was bent, and
two farthings. He was overtaken by the culprits oo
the road, who knocked him down and beat and kicked
him till he was covered with blood and senseless. When
be recovered, he cried II Murder." The robbers were
pursued and taken the same night, with the trifling
property of which they had deprived the poor man, ihr
their possession. The bent halfpenny and two farthings
were strong evidence against them. Their clothes were
bloody when they were secured.
Hobert King, aged 21, and Jeha Robinson, aged only
19 years, were found guilty of assaulting Lewis Meyer.

bridge-heath, and is constable of that parish. On the
14th of July last, he was going along Fleet-Street-hill,
