INSOLVENCY CASES.—The case of Isabella Wallace..
who should have come up for her final order, was adjourned
till the next court.—Lawrence Holden came up on his ad—
journed examination. This, it may be remembered, was:
a case in which it transpired, at the hearing, a fortnight,
ago, that Mr. Fazakerly, the late trade assignee, after the
dismissal of insolvent's petition, had obtained an order for
him to draw, on his own private account, the proceeds of an.
action, to be brought against one of the insolvent's,
debtors, and in which he had actually so received £46 7s:.
Mr. Aspinall, barrister, appeared on Mr. Fazakerrey's
behalf, and argued, in opposition to the severe remarks
made by his Honour at the former hearing, that he

was jusimee 111 WC course winch he had adop—
ted. The insolvent was then himself examined',
when the judge expressed conviction from his evidence
that there had been no corrupt arrangement made at the
time that Mr. Fazakerley was assignee ; but he exnressea

a strong opinion that there had been an error of judgment
on the part both of Mr. Fazakerley and of Mr. Toulmin, his
attorney, in making use of a process of the court to
compel the insolvent to give evidence in the action, whichif firaulnrAti hfirl haat. 1...nm:1.4. .1 - -

as to its application. As to the insolvent, who int
his schedule had made Mr. Fazarkerley his debtor in the:
amount of £62 10s., he thought that a palpable fraud uporr
the court. His petition, therefore, was not a honest and
bona fide representation of his affairs, and he shoukt
direct accordingly that it be dismissed.—Jobn Turner
came upon his adjourned examination. Final order
granted.—Denis O'Sullivan, flour dealer, &c., appeared in
an adjourned audit, opposed on behalf of Messrs. Roberts
and Co., Royal Bank-buildings, and the case was stilt

INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—There were the unprecedented-

negligently " overlain."—The first was on Peter Hum—
phries, a baker, in the employ of Mr. Ayes, steam-bread

PLUNDERING ON BOARD SHlP.—Joseph Weir and Jolinc.
Row, the second and third mates of the American ship,
Franklin King, were on Thursday charged with plunder-
ing two seamen on their passage from New York to Liver-
pool. The vessel arrived at the Wellington dock on Mon-
day, and the prisoners were given in custody by the com-
plainants. The prisoner Row was charged by two youths.,
one of whom was named William M`Gowan, with stealing
a coat and a pair of trousers, and Weir was charged 1;.•
another seaman with stealing a pair of boots, which were-
found in the prisoner's berth. It appeared that, immedi-
ately after leaving New York, the prisoners commenced
system of plundering and intimidation, and very few of
the crew escaped their depredations. The three com-
plainants were robbed of nearly all the clothes they pos-
sessed, and during the passage they were afraid of making,
any remonstrance. One of the complainants, who stated
that he had followed the sea for twenty-five years, tear
years of which he had served in the English navy, met.

immediately left the ship, with four bags and four boxes,.
which contained, it was supposed, the booty plundered:
to sail in English ships. In reply to the maps

from the complainants. Mr. Mansfield advised the youth‘
tinraft, the'uetir, elder complainant stated that his wages were'
$lB a month, and said his reason for not sailing in am
English ship was because he had lost his register ticket;
Mr. Mansfield hoped the circumstance would be a warning-
to him, and said that shortly there would be no difficulty('
about register tickets, for the act rendering them neces-
sary had been very recently abolished. Weir was then._
remanded for a week ; and the other prisoner was com-
mitted for two months.

A NEW EDUCATIONAL SCHEME. —^ The Manchester:
