Insolvent Debtors' Court,...
The Times, 1824-08-03T00:00:00

Itichard Chuadweick was opposed by Airr POLLOC4 for a creditor named Bennet. It appeared that the insolvent, who carried on the timber trade at Portsca, failed some time back, when he compound- ed with his creditors for 2s. 6d. in the pound. fie subseouently got introduced to Alr. Bennet, a timber.merehant at Rotheihithc, and commenced dealing with him. For the first three orders he paid readv money but he then obtained goods on credit until bis debt to Mr. )3ennet'amounted to 7001. Air. Bennet stated that he knew nothing of the insolvent's failure un il after be had giveN him cre dit, and that when he supplied him with the last order, which was for 600. worth of timber, be did so upon his express promise to remit him 2001. the next day, which be never did. On his cross-examii- nation, liowever, MSr. Bennet somewhat varied his statement about the insolvent's failuire, saying that he had merely heard on 'Change he had been in dlifliculties. The insolvent denied tihat he had obtained the goods upon a pro- mise to pl'y Air. Blnnet 2001. next day; but after the order was com leted, he promised, at Mlr. Bennet's request, to send him 1001. or 291., as he had done broer, if he could, although there was then no bill due. A witness was then called by the insolvent's cotnsel, who stated that be was clerk to lik father, tor whom he acted as timber-broker, and lie informed Mr. Bennet of all the particulars of the insolvent's fail-re and composition before he commenced dealing with him; and upori Teceivirg this information his reply was, ;' Well, since he is clear of a11 the world, there cannot be much danger now of him, so I wvfll risk it." Thc Cou nT said it would be very unsafe kt remand thia insolvent upon the testimony of Air. Bennet: they would, therefore, order him to be discharged, as soon as a defective service was completed.

Sir,-.Observing in your paper of Tuesday a statement, signed T. B., respecting the piawtbrokcr, Alr. Bayliss, refusing to give up a coat pledged for 10;l, I beg to state that T. B. in in error, ad. vising the poor woman to seek a remedy before a magistratse The woman has no remedy. The fact is, a pawnbroker is at liberty to dispose of all pledges of IOJ. and under, at the expiration of 12 months, wherever he pleases; and all pledges aboec lOs. are, by the act of Parliament, to be sold by publGc auction, and an account kept of such tales by the pawnbroker; and so far as the penalty is concerned in refusing to show such accounts when applied to, it in seldom or never application is made. It is to be regretted th at the respectable part of the trade, who would disdain taking the mean ad. vantage alluded to :hould be subject to the general reproach which this transaction is likely to incur. The apology off'cred is, that so maniy pledges remain unredeemed, not worth the money aitvanced, that they are justified in retaining those that are. In this respect they have their own remedy. If, instead of filling their shops with ignorant and abrupt bovs, they were toemnploy (likeother tradesmen) xperienced mten at a liberal salary, there can be little doubt that pawvnbrokers would less frequently be reproached from the bench Xa a body than they havc been, and in due course would take their raink among other respectable tradesment.

We have received the Btoile of' Thursday last, with the French NjING' speech at the opening of the legislative session. His Majesty begins with a descriptionof his grief for the event which raised him to the throne of France. He then runs through the ordinary succession of topics, foreign and domestic. -Hc gives assurances that the general peace will be pre; served, and informs the Legislature, that, as one measure towards maintaining it, he has agreed to leave a portion of the conquering army of his son, the DAUPHIN, in posses- sion of the Spauish territory. King CHARLEB then promises a number of improve- inents, adopted-lst, with a view to the interests of " reli- gion" (qu. the priesthood ?)-2d, for the sake of the emi- grants, whose indemnity is to heal the last wounds of the revolution, and is to be provided without any new tax upon the people, or any diversion of the existing funds from the necessary objects of the public service. His Majesty winds .p in a manner which must have been irresistible to French sirs, by promisinig the ladies and gentlemen preselit the glorious spectacle of a coronation. We may just remark, in passing, that while CHAnLEs X. is delighting every body with the prospect of such a brilliant show,his Majesty does not suffer the main chance to be forgotten. He takes special care of " legitimacy" in all its branches. He will swear to preserve the institutions granted to France (octroqys) by King Louis XVIII.: not a word of the national right to demand a constitution from the Sovereigu! A few such speeclies will go a long way in diminishing the popularity of the new Monarch : indeed, the fickle Parisians have already begun to be indifferent about their " most amiable Sovereign ;" for on Tuesday, at Notre Dame, the attendance was remarkably thin ; and the populace, on his Way to and from the Cathedral, did not utter one accla- mation.

'Ve believe that people are nowv beginning to cry out against the assessed taxes, and their continuance, at a pe- riod of thc session when the plan of finance is in a great degree settled. They sliould have expressed their feelings sooner; and we have no doubt that a financial scheme, more in accordance with those feelings, and also witb the most obvious principles of political economy, would then have been conceded. The apeparenit apathy of the public to their own interests led Ministers to suppose, or at least allowed them to affect the belief, that sufficienit alleviation had been granted under the most oppressive heads of taxa- tion. The only chance of redIress now to be found, is in the abolition of the WVindsor grant; and we hope that great ex- ertions will be made for that purpose. Under any cir- cumstances, the sum of three hundred thousand pounds should not be lavished on this inidefinite project, till after the removal of the assessed t2xes. Probably the late indisposition of His MIAJESTY, greatly to be lamented in other respects, may tend to rescue the nation from the loss of this money; for how can the KiNG, who was unable to go through the forms of a Drawing-room,find health and strength to direct architec- tural improvements or alterations uponI so large a scale? And if His MAJESTY iS not present, and does not preside over the works, how can he be sure that they will be exe- cuted to his taste ? To us, indeed, it seems an unwise, as we are sure it is a most unusual proceeding, iR one who is advanced in years, to attempt altering the family mansion for others of whomn he knows nothing ; and whose very first acts may be to undlo, at a great cost, that which has at a great cost been done. We are most anxious, both for the sake of the tranquillity of His MAJESTY'S future life, and for the sake also of the public ease, that this job be not now commenced.
