admitted, however,'.that be had 'written many letter!

DUc. 1819, applied for his discharge, and bad been'
eneensefelly opposed by Mr. Myers. At that time
the debts •of Mr. Myers was admitted in the
schedule, bat in the schedule now produced the debts'
was noticed iq this way, " Debt due to Mr. Myers, or
his asaigeee, disputed,"
Mr. Myers, of the Jewish persuasion, bulsg es
ansined, .said that he bad lived for twiesty years
Peter's-alloy, and had, during that times. Weer bait
a bankrupt. The charge against him. vie Sal. ail

'lt further appeared, upon the subsegnent ettaisiina-
tUtei of the insolvent, that he had been induced to in-
sert the debt of Mr. Myers in that Meaner iet his
satanic, as he bad heard that Myers had broken to
pietes.• The insolvent said he now possessed no pro-
perty I that the business at Oloczster was now carried
on by his daughters: that be got no money front
them for the business, and that he had been relieved
by them frout.titue to time while he remained in gaol.
Two executions bad been put into his house, and
the goods had been sold for the benefit ofthe creditors.
The smottey obtained for the goods was afterivarda're-
turned by the Sheriff, as the goods were proved, to be
the property of his daughter, and not of himself.
It was urged by the counsel for the opposieg cre-
ditors, that a satisfactory account of the iasolvent's
property had not been given, and that therefore he
toed not now be discharged. The conduct towards
?dt. Myers was-also unprovoked and ttnjustifisble, and
ought to meet with severe punishment from the

Court.
The Chief Commissioner reprimanded the insolvent
in severe language, for the impact •nt, audacious, and
malacious attack in the schedule upon the character
of Mr. Myers, and adjudged that the insolvent be fur-
ther imprisoned at the suit of Mr. Myers, for the
space °foie months, from the date of the petition.
Cawlinson was opposed for an extravagant ex-
penditure of his money, and fur contracting debts
which he had no visible means of paying. The lasol-
Teat, k appeared, held a public situation as barrack-
master to some regiment, and it was represented by
his aesatel that if he underwent an imprisonment for
cease south, he would be liable to. lose his place, and
thee hie creditors would be unable to procure any
payment of their debts. The insolvent answered the
various questions put to him very clearly and openly,
and it was finally agreed that he should pay to his
tradesmea creditors, to whom he owed a large sum,
50f. a year nut of the money which he obtained from
the public situation which he held.

The Loan MAYOR could have easily obtained a sub-
scription in the Justice-room from those who heard
the case, but his Lordehip preferred the alternative of
supplying the applicant from his mid' funds.
Mr. Wontner, the Marshal, suggested to his Lord-
ship the propriety of permitting the applicant to re-
main ender the, protectian of Mr. Teague, the bene-
volent Keeper of the Compter, until the arrival of the
policerofficers from Liverpool, as Ferguson would
probably be entitled to a part of the reward fur appre-
hending Woolf.
Those sngrestions were itnmediately adopted, and
Fergnson was very grateful fur the treatment he bad
.
experienced at the hands of his Lordship.
PCKLIC OFFICE, BOW-STRECT.—A person of a res-
pectable and genteel appearance, of the name of Ab-
bott, appeared -yeterilay to give evidence before Sir
Robert Baker and Mr. 31inshull, in consequence of a
summons respecting a stolen 50/. Bank-note.
An Attorney attended to state the case, li hich was
rather complicated, and oho said lie was pursuing the
investigation to trace out the 50/. more out of huma-
nity than professionally, for a pour woman, who hail
bees robbed of several 50/. !lank-notes, and 3of 5/. which
were her all. Melted traced the note in question to he paid
into the Bank of England front the Bank of Messrs.
Hoare and Co. who bad received it from. Messrs.
Iti 9 orers who received it from Mr. Heath, %%lib receivAl
e
it from Mr. Abbott, and there his search- and pursuit
of-the robber ended. lie hail searched a house in the
Borough fur the notes, and during his trace and in-
vestigation he had received such information as left
no doubt in his 'rind that the note had been sold (a
common practice among experienced thieves to sell
stolen Bank-notes for hall their value, to avoid their
.being traced to them.) The Attorney further stated,
that on his applying to Mr. Abbott respecting the
301. which he traced to hit I, he did not deny having
paid 31r. Heath a stit. Bank-note, or that the note he
traced waitstlie identical note, and Mr. Abbot intro.-
duced a person to him whom lie called his friend; he
moaned the 50/. batik-note as be said, to laspr met
names on it. On the face of the note there appeared
Mrs. Partridge and Mr. Marsden, and this friend in•
stantly identified them as Mrs. Partridge of rinilico,
and Mr. Marsden, the horsc-ilealer. lie argued (ruin
this that the friend must know something more of
the note, than merely at first sight to recogilse the
names 31rs. Partridge, of Pimlico, and Mr. Malden,
the horse-dealer, especially under the circumstances
of both names being written by the same hand and
with the same ink, but nothing more could be leartit
'as to the trace of the note, Mr. Abbott persisting that
he did not know from whom he had taken it.
The Magistrate here interrogated Mr. Abbott to
rovho he was, and how lie came possessed 4.114 note.
Illleataled, that he had taken the 5(1/. note aftlseClub-
. house in IKing-street, St. James's, where he asserted
he dvas in the constant habit of taking as large notes
1 without marking them, or knowing who he too. it them
from, our ditrhe thin!c-it necessary.
• The Magistrate told him, if lie had not done so, it
was time lie began.
The reason be assigned for not doing so wan, that
there were 400 members belonging to the Clrib.i
(In his being asked the nature of the Club, he re-
piked it was for Gentlemen to play; in other words, a
gambling-Louse.
Xhe Magistrate .asked him what lie was at the
'Club ? lle replied, a servant.
The Attorney pressed the quistion in various ways,
forlAr. Abbott to say who lie took the 301. note of,
urging how unlikely it was that be should take a nom
for sack a large amount, without knowing from, whom
i he took it.
' Mr. Abbott persisted in his ignorance.
The• Magistrate agreed that, as there was no proof
o: the felony before them, they could proceed no fur-
ther, which the Attorney assented to, but proposed
that Mr. Abbott should swear that he did nut know
from whom he took the note, which Mr. Abbott as-
sented to, and with the Sanction of the blagiitrates,
took the oath accordingly.
