Mr. Heath aaid, that he had been instructed to oppose the insolvent's discharge on the ground that he had conveyed to France consiiU'rable property not included in his schedule. A the insolvent had wom that he had done no such thing, and a he wa without witnec to prove that he had, he Heath) would now withdraw his opposition. He mutt, how.

tvtr. request theCouit lo order that part of his hal.pay might be set a.ide for the benefit of hi creditor. Mr. Coo IE implored the Court not to make any such order. The income of the insolvent lndv sumrientlv by the claim of a young and rising family and If were u.

uc lunner uiminisnea, trie onir tmng tnat coukl re uli from it was, that he mail toon apply to the Court again lobe relieved from his difficulties. Tbe insolvent protested, with much feeling, that he had nothing but his half.pay on which to subsist hi wife and children. Whilst lie had been on full pay, he had been able to maintain them in credit and respectability and it waa not nil he wa reduced to lulf piv that he had contracted any debta which he was unable to disrharre. Tlie C' ocHT asked Mr. Heath what sum lie concrirrd ou jhl ij reason to be taken from the half.pay of thr insolvent.

Mr. llr. at replied, thai he waa not in thr habit of mak. Ing any augrestion in cases tike the present. It wa for the Court lo order; and whatever order the Court might make, he should be satisfied.

The Court made mi am it. Mr. Hr.ATfi then asked the insolvent what the net amount of hi half.pay was, aa he knew that it was liable to some deduct ionv The InsoUent replied, that it was 127i but for tome time past, his agent, who had a considerable claim upon him, had not allowed him to draw more than Rf. a month. Latter ly, however, he had not permitted hu agent lo receive half pay, and had.

consequently received himself the whole turn which he had stated. After some conversation. Mr. Heath, in eonwnuecee of a remark from Mr. Cooke a to the length of time during wucn me insolvent naa Dern incarcerated, aatd, that tie mast request the Court to set aside 23t every year out of the insolvent's half.Dav for the benefit of his erMimrs.

The insolvent again implored the Court to consider the claims which hu family had upon him. He had no other in. come out of which to provide for them, tave the scanty pit tance of hit half.ntr and hi children were now arrived at that age in which they were likely to be most expensive to The Cocit uid, tint howiver the? might regret thia par. titular instance, they mast follow the rule which they had laid down in such cases. AH other kind of property but this wa taken entirely away from insolvents.

They therefore only thought it right to accede to the proposition made by Mr. Heath. Mr. Cooke then requested that this portion of the inaol. vent' half.pay rair.

ht not be sequestrated till the next quarter, and after some conversation, this proposition waa agreed to. The insolvent was then declared entitled to his discharge. MIDDLESEX 11. These srssiont rommfn ed this dtv at the Court house, t. leraenweii, Deiore iyOjT, are! a lull Dcnen ot ma.

Defendant attempted to strike the husband, and did actually inflict a blow on the wife. Defendant denied having struck the wife, but admitted that he did give a blow to tbe husband, from whom he said, he bad received provocation four pears mn. The jurv found the defendant GuUtu, and the Chaikmas sentenced him to pay a fine of ft.

and to enter into hit own recogabance, in the sum of 20., to keep the peace towards prosecutrix and her husband for a year. Zarrlutruih fVimltrell was indicted for an indecent assault on Harriet BecVwith. a young girl about IS years of age. The prosecutrix detailed the nature oi the assault, which she described as having taken place in an out house belonging to defendant (who is a cow keeper), rut it appeared, on her (Toa examination. that this house adjoined a room in which were the defendant's wife and son at dinner.

The Chairma observed, thai thi evidence was insuffi cicnr, and the iury acquitted the defendant. Hrnry Halts, a butcher, was indicted for Kliza beth, the wifj ol John Martin. It appeared from the evidence of prosecutrix, her husband, and a woman who was present, that one dav in ay last, three children came into their hnp (a chandler's), and were doing something with some bundles of wood, when the ha.band turned them out, having given one of them (who was defend ant's daughter) a slap. roon after this, defendant cam. in, in a violent passion, struck the husband a blow with such force, as knocked him down, and rendered him insensible.

He also struck Mrs. ami said lie would aa soon kill him as he would a sheep. Defendant said that he was Erst assaulted by prosecutrix and her husband that he was turned out of the shop, and Martin followed him. struck him with a hand saw, and set a dev after him, which bit him in the leg home witnesses were by dtfi ndaiit, who gave the ame account of the transaction the Jury gave credit to (he erid.nre for the prosecution, and found the defendant Tho Court sentenced him to pav a five of M. with li.

Mr. Nathan, iun. stated, that lie had purchased tome arti cle at one of Mr. Oxenham'i sain, and that when be came to demand them, he was refused, and on insisting on his property, he was srized by the defendants, who struck him anil tamed him out. The cTosa examination of tnis witness, and ihe evidence of one or two who wtrc called lor the defence, gave auinertm to th transaction.

From these it appeared, that Nathan and his father had jointlv purchased some lots. pirtr which had remained unpaid lor. 1 ne goods wntcii Nathan, iun. had asked for were uii for, but Mr.Ox rnham refused to let thetn go until the money wa paid on ihe wIhiIc. On this Nathan, iun.

Out of threw purchases it was very clear that only one had been made. II wa the duty af the magistrates to enable the col. lector to make a proper return, which he could not da if pur. chaser refused or neglected to furnish him with the mean.

The great grievance appeared to be that the husband was not very fond at the com nan of his spouse, and Sir John Smith thought it would be quite time enough to swear the pvace against Uvr husband when be was at home, and there coukl be any danger of an assault. The woman then complained that the parish allowance was insufficient and the magistrate desired that she should be employed where she could earn good wages and ordered la. 4. instead of la. per week lo be paid for the support of one of her children, who waa unable to work.

The Magistrates discovered every thine rather than an In. disposition to the publication of their prorxedings, and the reporter teamed from one of them, that the unaniiaons feeiinr of the Bench was, that any portion of the public' should be freely admitted, especially that no reporter should be excluded. Mr. Okcden (who wa one of ihe imbome magistrates) was in the court at the commencement of the busineaaand observed, in answer to a question from the reporter, that some mistake a to his views had occurred, for he was always of opinion, and had ever acted upon the opinion, that the judicial proceed, ings' of magistrates could not have too much publicity. M'hether the petty proceedings of the sessions were proper subject of notice in the London papers, was another question.

It appears that a county meeting will be convened in a few months, for the purpose of submitting tbe plan of the Friendly Society to the public, and that It la intended at that time to propose many new the election of the parties who may choose to become members. This town it the centre of 31 parishes the Inhabitants of which resort lo it as their market and the seat of justice. The market is excellent, and the town one of the best ia the county. It formerly relumed two members to Parliament, and the Qaarter Session were held here once a year, until very recently. The Inhabitants are greatly dissatisfied with the irmoral of this Court to Dorchester, and entertain the most anguine hope that the ancient privilege will be restored to them.

The inconvenience to the freeholder, who are liable to serve on jnries. of attending at so great a distance, is found to be very great: and it i in agitation to present a requisition to the High Sheriff for convening a county meeting, that the freeholders may have an opportuity of ex pressing their rnents as to the propriety of holding the sessions in four towns, a they were field till lately, instead of one.

Cope, tbe Marshal, tinder the following remarkable circumstances i Mr. Cope's statement was to the following effect On Saturday last, a person applied at the Mansion house for the assistance of the police, in consequence of a very serious dis. rurbanreat a public house in Leadenhall.atreet, called the Black 'Boy anil Camel W'lien the officers went to the spot, they taw Hayes in a slsre of intoxication, and npon inquiry, ascertained that he hud, at the lastanre of a woman Who charged a aailor 9L 10a. for tea days board and lodging, taken by force from the latter two rise pound notes, and some silver, for doing which he had been rewarded with the sum of 31. is.

I The ofliccrt then inrmodiately conducted Hayes to the Manalon houae, where Mr. Cope questioned him upon the subject. litres denied that he had re. reived any money, or that he had any in hi possession. However, upon being assured by the that there was BO use in attempting to eoneesf the fact, he pulled out tbe money, and said, upon being further questioned, that he had bad a rreat da of frouM ahour the belinea.

and Airsed what he had reraised. The Marshal conceiving that this was an instance of the system ol plunder to which seamen are suo jeet, took care to produce the evidence before the Lord Stayo. Sunleton. the sailor from whom the money had bceataken. stated at follows i He belonged ta a West India trader, and went on Saturday to Coot hall coo rt.

accompanied br Mrs. Forde, hi landlady, and Churchill, ta get his money. He received two JUL notes, four sovereigns, and some silver, and as he owed Mr. Forde some money, he believed between iL and he gave her the four Mvrretghi, and told her that when he should return home, he should give her any more that might be due. She ww not satisfed, but asked him into the public house, and ordered a glass of hot rum and water, of which he drank.

She then went down, and in her absence he put the two 5C notes Into Ms stock Ing. sooner had he done so, however, than up came Hayes and Churchill. Hayes said, that he wrasan officer, and that he came to take the money, and then Churchill held him while II aye overhauled him, and took frdm him hia two notes. He did not see what they did snth the money, hut he lost tight of every halfpenny of It from that moment. Mrs.

Forde said, when the returned to the roam, that she was to have to the amonnt of her bill, and that he (the tailor) waa lo have the difiVrence, but hi never got a farthing back out of the 14. odd shillings, which he had just received. HsyeS seemed unconcerned at bearing this statement, but wa roused by the Lord Mayor, who said, If what the sailor says is true, this is a robssrry, or, 1 ioa'l know what is." Hayes uid he wa conscious of having committed bo of. fence. He was off duty at the time the disturbance took place, and was called up stairs by Mrs.

Forde, who said, that the sailor charged her with having robbed him of 1 01., and money about him. Churchill had mentioned that the sailor put thr notes in his stocking, and the sailor did not at alt object to he searched, but produced the money from" hi stocking without bring interfered with. The iilnr thrn agreed to pay Mrs. Forde th whole of her bill, aid a receipt was brought in by Churchill, and irigned bv Mrs. Forde, who received 9L the amount of her bill.

There remained in his (Hsye's) hands 3 and he advised the sailor, who was in such a state of drunkednes, Ss not to, be able to take care of himself, to leave the cash in hi hands until he should recover Alt lie meant in the world was to take care of the money. (A laugh.) CJray, the officer, stated, that hr went trt the publie houe. and saw Hayes in a state of intoxication, struggling wit. the sailor, who 'was crying out, (Jive me my money." Witness said to Hayes, M'hy don't you give tbe man hia money To which Hayes replied, I have not got It." Mar. tin, the officer, then came to witness's assistance, and also ex.

postnlated with Hayes, who repeated there, slid at the Man. sion house, that he had not got the money but afterwards, upon Sir. Cope taking him to task, produced three sovereigns; and on being further urged, pulled out lire shilling more. This money Haves said he had got amongst the coaches. Martin, the officer, confirmed this account.

The Lord Mayor (to the sailor) Did they take the mo. ney by force from you Sailor Yes, one of them held mr, while the other orer. hauled me. Churchill, the cad, said, that in consequence of the sailor's having said that Forde bad robbed him, he went down stairs for Hayes. He (Churchill) had seen the sailor put the note in his stocking after Forde had left hhn.

and when he went up stairs, Hayes had the Botes delivered into his hands. The IjOrdSIavo it tvfto delivered the note to Hayes Churchill By me, ray Ind, he wa an officer. I then went out for a receipt, and Mr. Fonle was paid, snd the remainder of the money was given to Have. Hayes.

They stated that there waa a Mr.

Richard Thomas, at Truro, who was a very respectable p.T snn. The bill wa made payable in Imdon at Messrs. Carr, llyn, and Co's, the bankers, to the order of Richard Thomas. The g.sids were supplied lo the prisoner. Mr.

Harmer, who conducted the prosecution, produced evidence to show that there were but two Richard Thomas's and two Robert Michel in Truro, and several witnesses deposed that the bill did not bear the signature of one of them. The 1.0 RD Mayor intimated to the prisoner, that he felt ii his duty to commit him to take his trial. The case would in all probability be tried on Thursday next. The prisoner's solicitor said, that was impossible, as the trial mutt be nut oft He should apply to postpone '4, on account of the absence of ma'erial witnesses. Mr.

Harmer complained that serious expense had been already incurred to the prosecution by bringing witnesses from Cornwall, and expense would be enormously increased by such a delay. The Mayor said, he saw no just ground for putting off tbe trial. The prisoner bad had six weeks 10 procure the witnesses that might have been thought requisite. The prisoner's solicitor declared, he had expected that the prisoner would be discharged, and that no witnesses would be required. The prisoner was then fully committed take his trial at tbe next sessions.

OuildiiaLL. Arnsrs Irish journeyman tailor, who waa charged last week with wilfully cutting the tilk dresses of two young females In Bartholomew Fair, was brought up for re examination yesterday, before Sir Peter Lacrie. No new evidence was offered but the prisoner observed that be had nothing in his possession that could injure these or any otner jsaies, ana oe declared, but In a Taint tone, that he had not co nmitted what he was accused of. Sir Peter Laurie said, thrre had been much discussion among professional gentlemen aa to tie mode of moeeeJIn snd extrat of punishment that eoutd be adopted lo repress thi atrocious offence. He should not venture to decide the question himself, but send the case to a court where the defendant would have the benefit of a trial by jury.

Although bnly five or six tames naa naa ine courage to come torward with tnetr complainta. Mr. Cope, the City SfsrshaL had stated to him that above 30 females complained to him in one night of similar injuries. Prisoner But it will be cruel lo punish me for the whole. Sir Peter.

It may be hard, but the complainants have both sworn positively 10 detecting you in the fact, and yo i mast therefore he mule an example to the other. The prisoner was then committed for a common assault, but contrary lo the usual practice in such cases, the com. plainanu were bound over in recognisance of 301. each to prowvute, ao as lo ensure ihe bringing of the raw into court. Une of the compUinaau felt a null at her clothes, the other perceived his hand touch her side, and immediately saw their clothes had been cut.

VZl. The constable, in whose custody the prisoner was brought to the office, stated that Mr. Roe, the magistrate of Marlbo rough street, refuted the ease to Bow street.

Sir Richard Dirxic seemed surprised, snd asked the constable why Mr. Roe had not beard the caae himself. With what view was it referred to this office The prisoner said he thought it very strange that tbe case had not been heatrd at Marlborough street office. He always understood that a prKwwiet who wa taken into custody in a particular district should be brought to the police office wf that district, and examined there. Mrs.

Walker, the complainant, stated, that it was at her request the case was not heard at Mariborough strert. There were circumstance, she said, connected with it which she could not repeat to Mr. Roe. She would not be able lo support herself In his presence while making the charge which the had to advance against the prisoner. Sir R.

BlRXIE asked her to explain her meaning. Was Mr. Roe a friend of ben Mrs. Walker sighed deeply, and said the had known Mr. Roe from tbe time she was fifteen years of age.

He was the trustee her marriage settlement, and on Wednesday last he paid her She met the prisoner, with whom she was intimate, in Rupert street, and showed him the money. He came to her hdu.se the same evening at nine o'clock, and remained all night with her. Sir R. BlRXIE Did be sleep with you Mrs. Walker aaswrred that he did.

Sir R. Birxie. I thought you were a married woman but goon Mrs. Wslker said, that the certainly wai a married woman, but she had not lived with her husband for the last four years. The prisoner was her friend, at least she considered htm as such until he deceived her.

He came to her house st 9 o'clock on Wednesday night, and went away at about 9 on Thursday morning. She placed her money in a little box on a chest of drawers In her bed room, and soon after he was gone, the missed a 107. note, two sovereigns, and a half crown, fhe srent in nearch of the prloncr immediatrlv. but. could not find him.

She heard that he had not L'au at home since Wednesday. The constable who had the prisoner in his custody, said that he came to him and voluntarily surrendered himself when be heard of the charge against him. The prisoner's brother in law stated, that the prosecutrix was constantly in the habit of enticing the prisoner from his home, although she knew he wa a married man, having re. ceived several intimations to that effect from the prisoner's friends, who wished to break off such an improper intercourse. The prisoner married only six weeks ago, and the prosecutrix, although perfectly aware of the circumstance, continued, by letters and messages, to invite him to her bouse.

The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. A soon as he heard of it, he said, he came and delivered himself up. Mr. Halls observed, that both parties sppeared to be equally entitled to credit there was very little respectability at cither side. Sir Richard Birxie obcrved, that a the orT.

nce was committed In Surrey if, indeed, any off Tice had been com. milted at all he should send tbe ease to Cnion hiH, there lo be disposed of as the magistrates thought fit The prisoner said he thought it very hard to be sent from office to office in this way, when the caae might have been disposed of by Mr. Roe in the first instance. The reason, he continued, that Mr. Roe refused to hear the caae is thitv be caue I am his tucctwsor with the prosecutrix.

The partiet then left the oBiet, to go to Union hall. A Jew, named Michael John Davis, took out a summons against a maa of the name of Speiurr, who keeps the Harp public bouse, in Russell street, Coveru gsrden, for keeping his house open after 12 o'clock at night The hearing of the summons wss appointed to take place yesterday, and Davis came forward with a woman of the town as his witness to prove the charge. Mr. Adorohus. the barrister, anwared on behalf of the landlord, and took a legal objection to the information, which was laid in the name of John Davis, omitting the tnlormer 1 first nameMichael.

Attlie evening sitting of DteR the magistrate, at CTrn o'clock on Saturday, the Rev. JwrA Taylor, a clergyman of the church of Scotland, wa brought before him in a s'ate of disgraceful icurxicarion, upon the following charge, preferred by Mr. Charles Robenom.

the proprietor of the Ocorgr and Blue Hoar Hotel, in Holbcrn. Mr. Robottom said, that thi person est to hi bouse about ten dav ago with a naall quantity wf luggage, and said that he was come to town on business to stop fee nome day. then he came, and having an. clerical customer.

A room was, however, appointed for him. and he retired to r.st. but tne next day, trateaU ot aleeo nav. ing the effect of sobering him, he was ten time more inurx icated than whed be went to bed, and in thi state ff romi. sued drunkenness did he remain for the wrote of the three following days and every body wondered how he managed to keen himself so.

a he rot no extraordinary surnlv of liquor in the Ivnisc, and he went out but little. RoS.it. torn, however, at the end of Ihrre day, thought il tim to asc.Ttain how thr reverend gentlemen's pecuniary funds stood, and accordingly sent up his bill, but the reply ot his reverence was, that he hail cnt on all ra sux of money, which coisistrd entirely of rcotch bank note, to th north of the Tweed to be changed, and he was every rav in expectation of a remittance of English money ii sieaef, when he would nav Mr. Robottom in full. Oa the fourth day the rev rend gentleman was taken dreadfully ill, indeed so much to, that Robottom feared that he might htvinir occasion not only to support him while alive, but to bury him when dead and to prevent, it possible, tills las: me sent for Mr.Morgaa,a surgeon, in Bedford row.

to see what was the nutter with the parson. Mr. Morgan, on examining the patient, lound that the effects of conuoueo intoxication was uic lua icr, hu uiat uienc cucvis were likely to despatch the aufT.rer very soon, if great care was not taken, and above all, great care that the brandy bottle was kept beyond his reach. Hi reverence continu rd for some days in a dangerous state, during which, although it was now very doubtful, whether, living or dead, he should ever get a shilling from hit customer, Mr. Robottom not only supplied hhn most humanely with every thing necessary in his situation, but procured him a continuation of medical advice until quite out of danger.

On Thursday last, he being comparaavrJy well, he expressed great disappointment at not receiving his remittance from Scotland, and said that he would go down ai once ta his old fiiend Sir Andrew Halhday, at Hampton court, who, indeed, had invited him down, and who would supply him with any money he might want, and requested Mr. Robottom to advance him as much money as would pay hit coach fare to Hampton. Robottom, on the ray erroneous principle. in for a penny in for a did sr re the necessary supply to his reverence, wno set on proicssetuy pay nis visit to Sir Andrew llalliday he certainly remained away the whole of that day and ntgnt, but returned tne next cay as drunk as ever, to that Mr. Robottom was strongly of opinion that the parson never went to Hampton at all, but bad been spending rua tune and tne money no got to way his far; in some place of debauch and he confessed that although he said he had been down to Hampton, yet that his friend Mr Andrew llalliday reiuscn to nave any thing whatever to do with him; but he added, that if Mr.

Robotiom would accommodate him only until Monday, he would be able then to procure ample means 10 pay his bill from another old fnend of his a Mr. Broadfoot, residing at Pimlico. Kven to thi very improbable promise Mr. Robottom yielded, until he wis iniurmed that the nrvrrrnd gentleman iraa gradually withdrawing hi wearing apparel, and a few books sll the luggage be had, from his room. He was therefore on Saturday, watched and traced with a parcel of books to a neighbouring pawnbroker shop, and Ihenee to a gin shop, where he again became quite drunk, in which state he came home, and was again going up stairs to his room, when Jtobottom stopped him, and feelinr satisfied that he waa no better than a swind ler, sent for a constable, and had him brought to thia office.

Mr. Robottom said, urn ne naa snaae inquiry, snd lesmed th.t the Drisoner really is a clergyman of the Church of Scotland. On examining what things he had left behind in the room, three large bottles were found, which evidently had contained whisky, and the emptying of which had, no doubt, intoxicated the parson for the first three days. Mr. Dter ssid that there did not appear ta have been any act committed by thepnsoriecTwnicnatraTitratecould take nmiuim in hi deslines with Mr.

Uxiox hali Vesterdaya respectable looking man, who gave bis name Bones, was summoned before the presiding magistrate for sssaulting hia brother ia law of the same name. The complainant, on commencing his sutement, called the magistrate's attention to a black eye that be had rcccired from his relative that morning.

He then proceeded to statu that he was a married man, and that his wife having taken a freak into her head to abscond from home. very naturally, said he, I went to seek after her, fearful that she might hive flang herself into the river or done some other naughty trick." In the course of his search he called at his brotncr law a bouse, and the first object that presented itself ta his astonished senses wss his wife, whom he had almost given up as tost. She was sitting behind a screen in the parlour, and he no sooner caught a glimpse of ber, than running torward for the purpose of embracing her, the defendant met him half way and gave him a douse in the eye" that cloned it, and dunn the confusion that arose in consequence, his wife, instead of remaining where she was, made a precipitate retreat, leaving her caro spom in the bands of a man that, in point of sire, wa able to annihilate him from the face of the earth. He added, that he made an attempt to follow his wife, but the person who had assaulted him in the lint instance swore most bitterly, that if he budged" any where but out of the house, hit other eye hould meet with the aarar fate. he wa obliged to depart without hi wife, to whom no one hail so much right, he said, as himself.

Thr defendant iDTrrruptcd hira by saying that he wa justified in treating him in the manner he had. Tbe fact was" taid tlie defendant, "the person who now makes the complaint treated his wife very barbarously, and the poor woman, dis. gusted with bis behaviour, left him and sought protection under his (the defendant's) roof. Thither the husband followed her, and in a atate of intoxication, demanded that she should instantly leave tlw premises. Defendant remonstrated with him on the brutality of hi conduct, in the course of which high words en.ued, and the result was that tie defendant truck him on the eye.

The comrbinant declared that hews as soVrasa judge when he went to look after hi wife. Thi saser ion, however, was contradicted by two witnesses who bore testimony to hia having been blind drun' the occasion. Tte therefeue discharged Mr. B00. S.

An apprentic; boy to a printer was brought up for neglecting his msstet's work.
