GUILDfiALL

litelTolo A Derrea.—A very portly well-dressed perstmago
entered the Justieeroom just as Mr. Alderman Mamma bad quitted
it, to obtain the assistance of the police in riddles hint of tte im.
portunities of a creditor, who bad a few minutes before, at his
counting-house in the City, swore be would follow bim wherever
he Went, if it were even to the world's end. The Creditor, be said
pretended that be only warned to learn where his private residence
was, but sorely it arm awash for him, as be only came upon
mattes of business, that he should know his counting-hove was
in St. Mary-at-Hi 1.
The creditor, apparently a respectable tradesman, replied 'awe
the complainant had obtained ids acceptance for 501. under eirchms-
stances which, to say the least of them, were suspicious, and when
he tried to bring hint to some explanation at the counting..liesse be
suddenly made biscuit. This alarmed him, and he thought it ac-
cessary to seek immediately for every information respecting ihe
character of the Gentleman.

The debtor said, surely the law did not permit a person to be
hunted through the streets. _ _

Mr. Beres-ford, the clerk, said it would not allow the public
feeling to be excited against an individual, by following tam and
abusing him aloud.
The creditor, who seemed to be very polite and cool, answered
that nothing of that sort had occurred. He merely walked after
him silently.

Mr. Seiesford.—You may do that certainly. Why does the
Gentleman withhold his address ?
The applicant replied that the creator declared he would tome
I aqa hoard with him, and would not' quit him by day or night.
Bereaford.—lf he insists on taking up his quarters in your
house you may glee him into custody ; but you cannot prevent him
from following yen through the streets.
" Then 1 certainly shall follow him," said the creditor, partying
let a respectful distance the steps of the Gentleman, who had al-
ready moved on to the door; and the parties left theoaie,
Jahn Hargis, a young man, was committed for stealing a gold
chain and seals, value upwards of int.—Mr. Keii, ti nit tlernt la
Sise-lane, was passing through St. Paul's Churchyard
about ten o'clock on Wednesday night, when the prisemet.snatched
at his watch, but only obtained the &sin and seals. Mi. RUN

BAWICIMPT3.-It appears, from the London Gazette
of the yestrs 1824. and 182.5, that the number of Btnk-
rupts in the former year was
.1107, and in the latter
1231, and that in the past weeks of the present- year
therebave appeared no less than 514. The new Bank-
rupt Act, which came into force in November last, ap-
pears to afford peculiar facilities to those in Insolvent
circumstances, as the number of persons who have de-
cl 'red themselves in that short time amount to the asto.
rushing number of 137.
An Inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the
body of Mrs. Cruddell, aged 57, who, in hurrying aloft
Upper Thames-street in the evening, after dark, being
very near-sighed, fell into a cellar which had been
opened to let down some casks of oil, and was so dread-
fully injured that she died three days after. Verdict,
Accidental death.

SALE OP BANE Noses.—Tuesday, the Paisley town-
crier announced, by sound of bell, the public amp, by
virtue of a Sheriff's warrant, of sundry Bank notes on
•arious Banks, amounting in all to 271. The notes
formed part of the property seised some time ago by
the police, in.the possession of Mrs. Stewart or Harkins,
now about to stand her trial before the High Court of
Justiciary for robbery—they were impounded for pay-
ment of abill, and the law requires all impounded goods
to be brought to public sale.

the Benlomond steam-boat on Thursday, in the foil
penalty of .51. sterling, for not slowing his engine on the
approach of the 11.11nsburgh, in terms of the regula-

by the engine of the Benlomond not being stopped
or slowed.
