INSOLVENT DEBTQRA' COURT.—TUMDAY.
Samuel James was brought up to receive Ills discharge, but
was not opposed by any creditor. He was, however, closely
examined by the Chief Com Missioner, who obtained from him
an acknowledgment to the following effect :—that on the day
when he was arrested at the suit of one creditor, he' gave a
warrant' of attorney to another creditor. a livery stable keeper
In the City Road, for the sum of M. which he owed him ; that
the Uremia of attorney was immediately put In force, and all
the insolvent's property taken in execution.
The Cuter ColiiiiSsioNtit declared that this was as clear a
ease of undue preference se ever came before :he Court; and
although no opposition was made to the insolvent's discharge
be (the Commissioner) would. by virtue of the power vested In
the Court, remand him for six months, during which time he
should be confined within the walls of the prison.
Joachim Jacob Bernhardt, who stated himself to be a
native of Prussia, and who appeared to she one of those
German adventurers who couttive to live pleasantly 'at the
expenie of others, was opposed by Mr. Hearts, on 'the
grimed of having obtained goods ander false and fradtilent
pretences. It appeared, on the examination of the insol Vein.
ind by the iVidence brooght forward, that in the year 1817
he bad been living atßrigliton,where be ;seised for a man of
some consequence; that lie ordered goods of several trades-
men, such as tailors, shoemakers, &e.; and that aistoeg
other articles, he purchased a horse and chaise ; that he
undertook to pay en delivery; but the very next moiling
he derataped from Brighton, and left the creditors unpaid.
It also appeared that is the month of-October, 1822; he
dad tieing at Ramsgate, where be represented himself as a
man of fortune, having retired from business. Here he
called upon a sneerer,tn company with an elegantly dressed
female. whom he represented-to lie his wife, and to a hom
he said he had been lately married. He told the mercer
that as i.e meant to reside there fir some time with his
wife and three daughteis, he wished to become his customer,
and would pay his bills every three months by a cheek
upon his banker. Hy this means he obtained goods 'to
the amount of 411. which he never paid for. About the
same time he celled on a illr. Minter, a watch-maker at
Ramsgate, who lived opposite his lodgings, to get his
watch 'repaired. In the course of the conversation he took
a fancy to a 6ne gold watch, which he agreed to purchase
by making an exchange for his own. The difference was
twenty five guineas. While in ronveraation with Mr.l
Hunter, talking In a pompous manner in praise of homier,
liberty. liberality, honesty, &r., it was agreed that be
should have a trial of the watch for three weeks, when, if
he liked the watch, the twenty-five guineas should be paid ;
but befOre the expiration of that period he was off,
nothing more wars heard of hiss atilt July last. when be
was arrested at Hastings, when be had been carrying ou his
adventure's. and was conveyed to Dome Castle.
When the iusolvent was examined respktiog the horse
and chaise, he said the charge mid, fir them was exerbi-
tint, and that it ill; a take in on. boSis'sides.
Mr. Put.Locz addressed the Court, for some time on
behalf of the insolvent. It appearedthe! he had omitted to
insert the names of two creditor* in lila schedule. 'ad lir
was ordered to be remanded that he might have an oppor-
tunity of rectifying the omission,
The enter Comsetsmon'tst, at the same time. said that
stick a sentence illobld be
,passed as might have the effect
of checking lath a system of itinerant swindling as had
been carried on by this porno
A man of the name of Pope. who bad heretofore held a
lucrative situation coder Government, end who now enjoys
a retired allowance of upwards of BW. a year, came up for
his disehign, He was not oppoled, but some of his Credi-
tors applied to bane a part or his annuity applied tO their
benefit. 1 t was agreed that 10/. a year should be set aside
fur that purpose.
It appeared that the debt for which thietnia west to
prison. was no more than 21. 145., for which lie allowed
execution to issue.
On this the Cum COMUMIONER observed, that no
greater species of cruelty could be practised towards
creditors than this practice of resisting the payment of small
debts, until ten times the amount of the debts were swat-
lowed up in law expenses.

Aeettertes Casa OF DISTRE4I.—.:Iu inv.rttika inn WAS
yeeterdav taken before Mr. STIRIANII, at Saffron Hill, on
the hod) of an infant child of Mary Ann Rose. who was
detained in custody on sn.picion of having starved it. •
'lle Jury viewed the body, which presented a most
shocking spectacle, being nottsiog hot skin and bone.
Mr. observed, that in the course of his
professional ditties, he never before hid seen so emaciated
an object.
Mr. Whitmore, surgeon.deposed to having,eximined the
body, at the request of Mr. Scott, the Churchwerdea of
tlerkesaeli. Oe opening it he found all its organs In a
healthy state ; there was no part diseased so as to account
for its death. He considered it to have died for want of
proper nourishment.
Mrs. Oeorge, of Peter•street, stated that tLe mother came
to lodge with her about two months ago. On Wednesday
last she told her that her child was dead. Prior to that,
witness had reason to know that sl.e was very distressed in
circumstances. On one occasion, on entering her room,
she found her sitting with the child in her arms, which she
seas pressing to her bosom. It was a very cold day, and
yet there was no fire in the grate. Wittiest bad on different
occasions assisted her.
Mrs. Field, an acquaintance of the mother's, gave evi-
dence to her extreme distress. She bed on several press'oes
given her a meal, knowing her to be in want. Oa one
occasion, when she left the biby with witness to take care
of it, it had no clothes on. but was it rapped tip in an
old waistcoat. On the 'niglit before the child died, its
mother told witness. she had not broke h. r fait fur too
slays.
Mrs. Jacobs, the midwife who detivered the woman,
stated, that the child, was sickly when born, and of a puny
size. She did not think it mould live..
In answer to an inquiry from. a Juror, Mr. Whitmore
Stated, that the distressed circumstances oldie mother most
have impoverished her milk, so as to render it less nutri•
lions to the child.
The Jury, after a short conference together. gave their
verdict that the child died a natural death, Nit accelerated
by the distressed state of the mutter's cireumsrances.
It did not appear that any application had been made
to the pariah for relief. . -
