INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY 28.* •
William Bassett was opposed by a creditor named
Venable', a butcher, in Newgate Market.
It appeared that the insolvent owed Mr. Venables a
small debt of 91. for which the latter sued him in the
Palace Court; the insolvent obtained a writ of prohibi-
tion, which stopped the action in that Court; and he.
on several occasions. publicly abused Mr. Venables for
proceeding against him. Mr. Venable. afterwards sued
him in the Court of King's Bench, and the insolvent de-
fended the action. Mr. Venable. obtained a verdict, but
be had to pay 251. 175.8 d. for costs.
The COURT strongly reprobated the conduct of the
insolvent, in harassing and abusing his creditor, and
sentenced him to five months imprisonment from the
date of filing his Petition.
Francis Those', a'Frenchman, who spoke the Eng-
lish language imperfectly, and was assisted by an in-
terpreter, appeared on his petition to be discharged.
He was opposed by Mr. Creswell, on the part of Messrs.
Taiswell and Co. and by Mr. Barry, on the part of
Messrs. Dillon and Co. of Paris. Mr. Heath appeared
fol. the insolvent.
Mr. Battey said he should be unwilling to occupy
the time of the Court if he thought the result would be
that no case was made out by the opposing creditors;
but be was specially instructed to oppose the insolvent
()utile ground of a vexatious defence which he made to
an action brought against him by his clients to recover
the amount of two bills, amounting to 7001. This case
was not included in the arbitration agreed on by his
creditors,as one of theMessrs.Taiswell was an arbitrator.
The insolvent examined by Mr. BARRY—I was agent
to Messrs. Dillon, of Paris, for the sale of a drug called
sulphate of quinine, for about twelve mouths. In the
early part of October. 1827, I bad large consignments
of that article., and bills to the amount of 3,0001. were
drawn by the Messrs. Dillon on me; I had then about
2,1541. worth of the drug by me. I paid 1,7001. in part
of these bills, and Messrs. Dillon advanced me the re-
mainder, 1,3001. for which sum I accepted two bills; I
had then about 1,0001. worth of the sulphate of quinine
in hand; the 3,0001. was more than the whole value of
• the goods. The remainder of the quinine was sold on
the Ist of March, 1828, and I was paid on the 18th of
that month. I was arrested in December,lB2B. None

of the quinine was deposited with the Messrs. Barclay;
, they had property of mine in their possession. My fa-
, ther is in Paris, and be has no money or goods of mine.
He has accepted four bills for me at different dates.
Mr. Commissioner Bowan pronounced the judgment
of the Court, that the insolvent was entitled to the be-
nefit of the Act, and that he be forthwith discharged.
THE SEN-SINGTON—MURDER.

The mysterious circumstances which attended the eons-

mysterious cercurnstans.......— _
mission of the murder of the unfortunate M.A. Waite,
who, it will be recollected, was stabbed to the bean by
some assassin on Thursday morning, the 13th inst. in a
by road called Addison's-place, at Kensington, through
the unremittea exertions of Mr. Sketchley, the Magi'.
. trate of Kensington, Taunton, the officer of Bow-street,
Mr. Bennett, the svatchbouse-keeper of Kensington, as-
sisted by Martin, Madden, and Pammell, the officers,
have been developed in a most extraordinary manner.
Sir Richard Birnie appointed yesterday forall the par-
ties Mho could give any additional evidence on the sub-.
ject to be in attendance at Bow-street Office to undergo
• an examination. Mr. Stirling, the Coroner for Middle-
sex. who took the .Inquest, was also in attendance.
It will be in the memory of our readers, that the evi-
dence taken before the Coroner was of the most con-
• tradictory description, part of it tending to show that
the prisoner, Thomas Birmingham. wasinnocent of the
crime imputed to him, while other parts went so far to
fix him as the author of the dreadful deed, that the
Jury mere induced to return a verdict of wilful Mur-
der against him, and he was committed.for trial. Mr.
Sketchley, the Magistrate, subsequent to the Inquest,
ascertainesi that the principal witness on the Inquest in
favour of the innocence of Birmingham, named Susan
Bennett, had, previous to her examination, been tam-
pered pith, and had been induced bx,44ropsiscs of a
reward to swear that Birmingham was in bed with
her in Kensington Barracks during the whole of the
night on which the murder was perpetrated, when, i
.fact, he left her about twelve o'clock, soon after she had
retired to bed, and he did not return to the Barracks
'till five o'clock in the morning. Mr. Sketcbley there-
fore felt it hii duty tosift the affair as much as possible;
and he*caused the witness, Susan Bennett to be taken
into custody, and lodged in Kensington watchbouse. It
war, considered by Mr: Sketchley and Sir R. Birnie,
who had an interview on the subject of the .murder,
that though a prima facie case had been made out
.against Birmingham before tbe Coroner's Jury, yet there
was not sufficient Oritlence to convict him on his ids),
therefore it watiedietiled of the utmost importance that
Bolan Bennett should undergo as further examination,
and Sir,Ricbaid Birnie resolved that the examination
• should be a public one..
M nrie o'clock yesterday Taunton stated that all the
patties were in attendance.
Sir It. Br RNIZ asked Taunton what was the nature of

the evidence the witnesses were about to depose to ? He
. replied that the witnesses would disprove an important
statement made by Birmingham before the Coroner's
Jury ; and he also understoodthat the girl Bennett had
.admitied that she had concealed the truth when she was '
eiamined before the inquest, and was now ready to say
what- actually occurred between her and Birmingham
•aa the night of the murder. He had also three witnesses
"in attendance who would prove that they had seen a pin
in the Shirt of Bi,rmingham, who stated before the Jury
that he had never worn a pin in his life, but that he
always wore.a brooch.
Mary Gifford, her husband, Serjeant Major Gifford,
of' the firt Royal Dragoons, and John Harding, a
Serjeant in the 15th Hussars, were severally examined.
They all swore that they had known Birmingham to
*ear a pin on the bosom of his shirt repeatedly within
tile laic twelve months ; but not one of them could give
any description of the pin, except the last witness, who
said that about a month ago he saw a gold pin, with a
fox's head chased upon it, in Birmingham's shirt.
Sir RICHARD BIRXIE said, that be should not require
Mr. Stirling to produce the pin which was found on
the person of the deceased.
Taunton said, that it had been sworn before the Coro-
ner's Jury, by a female named Price, who was a com•
panion and fellow lodger of the deceased, that at eleven
o'clock on the night oldie 16th instant, she parted with
the deceased in the Kensington road. At that time the
deceased had a shirt pin in her possession, which the
witness Price hld seen the deceased take from Burning.
harry a few nights before in a joke, when be was tipsy.
The deceased told Pike at parting, that she had an ap
pointment that nighty) meet Birmingham near the Ken-
sington Bat rack's, to return his shirt pin, and although
Price swore before the .Jury that she saw the pin taken
by the deceased from Birmingham, yet the latter de-
clared solemnly that he never bad a pin in his life.
Sir R. Sinn tzlaid,that such a declaration would have
been important if there was evidence tolatvii that Bir.

Imiogbara had worn the pin in giestion; but an the
evidence at present was, that be had worn a pin, but

not that pin.
Taunton said, that he had witoeses to prove that the
girl Bennett, after she had given evidence before the
Coroner, admitted to them. In the parlour of the Hol-
land Arms, that what she had swom was false.
Sir R. irawir.--Call these witnesses.
Mr. Bennett said that he was the watch house keeper
of Kensington. After Susan Banat had been ez•
amined at the Holland Arms, on tie night of the Ad-
journed Inquest (on Monday nigh week) she came
into the parlour, and stated that she had had no lodg-
ing for nine months. She had mown before the Jury
that she lived io Tottenham court road ; she told him
that the officer at the barracks, who was the master of
Birmingham, and also theSergeantilad told her that she
should be rewarded with a handsome sum of money to
bring off Birmingham; and therefore she swore what
was untrue.
Sir RICHARD Brans—Were any other persons pre-
sent when this was said ?

Mr. STIRLIVO. the Coroner, observed, that the witness
Susan Bennett had sworn before him that Birmingham
went to bed with ber in Kensington Barracks at eleven
o'clock, that he did not quit her side all night, and they
rose at six o'clock in the morning. If that statement
was a true one, and she swore she was awake all night,
the prisoner could not have committed the reorder; but
when she was asked if this took place on the Tuesday
or the Wednesday night, she first said it was the one,
and then the other, and therefore the Jury could not
.place any reliance upon her evidence.
John Boller, the turnkey of the New Prison, Clerken-
well, said that he was at the Holland Arms, Kensing-
ton, at the time the adjourned inquest was held on they
deceased. After Susan Bennett bad given her evidence
and returned to the parlour, she said that she went into
the barracks with'Birmingham at half past 11 o'clock
on the night of the murder;. that the 'went to bed, and
she did not see him again till five o'clock the following
morning. He asked her if she had seen a knife in Bir-
mingham's room at the barracks like the one produced
before the Coroner's Jury, which was found near the
spot where the murder was committed? , She replied,
" For Gon's sake, don't ask me any questions about
knives," and appeared to be exceedingly agitated, and
cried very much.
Sir R. Btanix—Why:' dill you ask the girl those
questions?
Boller—She told him invell thinginnasked, and he
was induced to put those s to her. She also said
that the Captain, who was themaster. of Birmingham,
had promised to give her a handsome tam of money if
she would get Birntinghansilikharged, by stating that
he slept with her all night.
Sir R. you communicate this statement
of Susan Bennett's to any one soon afterwards ?
Boller—He told the Governor of the New Prison in
less than ten minwes after they left the Holland Arms.
The Governor of the New Prison came forward and
confirmed his statement.

Sir R. BIRNIS ordered that the girl Bennett, who was
in an adjoining room, should be broo;ht ib. She was
dreadfully agitated. She head the 'valence of the wit-
nesses Bennett and Bollar read over.

Sir R. Biattin-JNow, my girl, you have no occasion
to be alarmed, all you have to do is to spesik the truth.
Is it true that you told them that you had not spoken
the truth to the Jury, andthat money had been offered
you' by the officer to bring off Birminghain ?
Susan Bennett (clasping hei hands together,and burst-
ing into tears)—Yes. Sir, it is true, I did My sti.
Sir R. Btanta—Why did not you say so before the
Coroner's Jury?
Susan Bennett—l said something about it ; but I
hardly know what.
Mr.Svlattwo Did you not say that Bitiningham was
with you all the night, and that you never went to sleep ?
Susan Bennett—l did say' so, but it was not true; I
did go to sleep, I was very much tired ; I had walked
about all the day, and I know that I fell asleep.
Sir R. BIKNIZ and Mr. Svtamo.put several goestioasto the witness, but she appeared very .reluctant to
'give an answer; she at last said that when she awoke

at five o'clock on the Thursday morning, she saw Bir-
mingham in the room at the barracks.
Thomas Lee, a witness who was examined before the
Jury, said that he was in the parlour of the Holland
Arms, with the witness Boller and the witness Susan
Bennett, after'she had given her evidence, and he heard
her say that she had been promised by tge,officer to be
well rewarded if she got Birmingham off.
Sir R. BIRNIE—Is that true, my girl?
Susan Bennett—Yes, it is, Sir
.'
Sir R. Blame—Did you see the officer after the Jury
had sat on the body ?
Susan Bennett—On the Friday morning after the Jury
had adjoin ned, she having no lodging, wandered through
the Park, and about four o'clock in the morning, she
was near the Magazine, when an officer and some sol
diers discovered her lying on the ground asleep. They
took her to the Barracks. and promised to reward her
if she got Biriningham off.
The witnesses were ordered to withdraw, and Sir R.
Birnie observed, that it would be extremely important
that the witness, Susan Bennett, should be taken care
of till the trial. It Birmingham was really guilty, it
was one of the most extraordinary acts of murder ever
heard of. That he should get up at night to commit
the deed was strange and unaccountable.
In less thin ten minutes after the-witnesses bad left
the Office, Mr. ll:linen, the watchhouse keeper, re-
turned to Sir Richard Birnie. and informed him that
Susan Benne t had made a voluntary confession to him.
Mr. Bennett was again sworn, and he stated that he
bad taken Susan Bennett to a public house in the vicinity
of the office to supply her with some refreshment, and
she then burst into tears, and said-44 I will tell you,
Mr. Bennett, the real truth; I entered the room of Bir-
mingham, at the Barracks, at about half-past 11 o'clock
on the Wednesday night, and I was so tired that 1 fell
asleep; Birmingham lay down'by my side ; I could not
have been asleep long when I was roused by Birming-
ham getting pp; it was about twelve o'clock ; be dressed
himself in a fustian stable dress, and put on a cap; I
sAW him take a knife off the table and leave the room;
I again fell asleep, and did not wake till about five
o'clock, when I saw Birmingham in the room; 1 asked
him it I should get up and leave the, Barracks; he told
use to remain there till six o'clockoind then I should go."
Sir R. BIRNIL was informed that two witnesses' bad
stated in evidence, before the Coroner's Jury, that a
person attired precisely in the manner the witness Susan
Bennett bad described was seen by them in company
of the deceased, at Hammersmith and at Kensington,
on the night of the murder, and the same person was
seen walking alone in a direction leading towards the
barracks between four and five o'clock in the morning.
Sir R. Birnie observed, that it was strong evidence in
corrobbration of the recent admission of Susan Bennett.
Sir R. Bitnie also observed, that from.what hod trans-
pired, a very important light had been thrown upon the
mysterious 'fair. Another investigation will tike place.

BOW—STREET.

Last nightEliseheik Smirk who is a ballad.siaget•about the streets,
was charged before Sir R. Rime with having decoyed two chil-
dren, only four years of age, named Caroline Parker and 21ary
Downes, from their homes, and robbing the former child of her
gold ear-rings.
The poor infants reside with their parents, who are tradespecple,
near Si. Martin's Church; and the prisoner observing them dressed
in a very respectable manner, intended, po doubt, vo have stripm4
them: She enticed them from their homes, by giving them a number.
of her ballads. It is hardly possible to describe the agonised feel-
ings of the parents, who were anxiously searching after the children
for 'rural hours yesterday afternoon, and who could obtain MO'
other tidings of them than that they were seen walking In a direction
from their homes with a very wretched looking woman. About
six o'clock last night, the prisoner was observed with the Children
in Carey-street, Lincoln's lan-fields, by a humane person, who
thought from their appearance that she had no busines, with
them; and a snob having collected, the prisoner was conveyed to
this office, and with difficulty escaped a summary punishesent
from the populace. The earrings which sine had taken out of
the ears of the child Parker were found upon bee. The story told
by one of the children was the most plain and artless that can be
conceived. She said that the prisoner promised to take them to a
pretty place to show them seascapg my nine if she would let her
look at her earrings, sad she ejnAitted the vile harridan to rake
them from kr ears ; after she had got possession of the canines she
beat the children,and they wet e so much indaddated by her threats

apparel.—She was fully committed to take her trial for the robbery.

Mat Crifti, a parish apprentice, who eras stated to be 16 yeasr
old, but who was very diminutive for that age, and who has three
times been committed from this Office to the House of Correction

came to fivepence; but missing a half sovereign, which was
in the same pocket as the money which he gave to the pri-
liner, be therefore suspected be must have mide a mistake,
and given the prisoner the half sovereign instead of a six-
pence.. On mentioning the matter to the prisoner, he very
artfully desired his master to look among his silver, and be would

M A LBO ROUGH.STIMILT.
Yesterday Mr. Cowan: was engaged until past four o'clock
investigating the following charge— ' •
In the course of the morning Mr. Bradford, a surgeon, residing
in Tottenham-court-road, came to the Office, and inquired* Mr.,
Conant whether he could take cognizance of a case which had come
under his observation relative to a child being nearly starvesk,*
death by its unnatural parents, who resided in Portland..Mkt,
WardouNstreet. Upon the facts being stated, the worthy Meth.
trate desired one- of the beadles to accompany Mr. Bradford to the:
workhouse, and to desire the parish authorities to bring the parents
and children before him, In the course of an bout they wen
brought accordingly, followed by persons banging in three little
children, *hen the snood child; a girl about four years of ageiwae

pearance or a skeleton.. Ike whole frame was so emaciated as to
render the poor infant Incapable' of steadies. even for a single
minute. The youngest child was nearly in the same state, whilst
the eldest, about seven years of age, was a time full-grown girl.
Mr. Bradford deposed that on Wednesday he had been informed
by a patient, whwresided within a few doors of Macdougsli, the
plower, that the neighbours and inmates had every reason to sea.
pet that the children, especially the second, were starved by their
parents, and the person who gave him this information expressed a
wish for him to see the children. He, accordingly went to 'the
I house, where he (sand the poor and in the state already described.
He examined it, and found it was labouring under no complaint
whatever; and; on chi contrary, it was of a very strong coastitv-
dun: He then questioned the parents as to the state of the da,b
health. when they stated that it never had a day's illness, am be
was certain, from the symptoibs, that the dreadful condition ado
Infant was entirely wiring to the want of the common necessaries
of life. He then asked the mother Whit she used to give the ehildr
when she replied, bread and vegetables; the child invariably Ire•
fused meat. Being confident that the infant could not live If
allowed to remain with the parents, he took it to his residence, when
some veal was given it, and the voraciousbess which abe displayed
fully satisfied him, if any previous dosibt had existed, that the child
had been starved.

Mr. CAntaur—ls the child in a dangerous state?
• Mr. Bradford—She is; and even if she can be recovered it will
be necessary to feed her every three or four heirs, and eta be con-
stantly attended. If slit should recover kik growth is stintedso

Wilkins stated, that on Wednesday evening be was from haft,
and two persons' named Lloyd and &flunk clerks of Anakra;
Moore came to his house, and demanded the unmade work Mak
he had in band belonging to Mr. Muure. His wife rearonstral4
with them upon the injustice of taking away the work in se be.

of a great concourse of weavers. 'They would not be pa

of the disturbance. They left the finished work behind thew He

nesdsy evening. They were broken through an officer talkies
shelter in his shop with a young man in custody, and stones were
thrown at him through the shop window, by which cave pates were
demolished. The amount.of damage done was about 30s.
Mr. TIVT7OIIO said he thought he could sot recover undir the
Act, which states that the damage done must' he with intent
demolish the house or injure the owner; and even if you could
