Gatherings From The Law And Police Court...
indebted to the amount of upwards of 8007 . These creditors comprised a great variety of tradesmen , including butchers , milliners , drapers , wine merchants , and many others . Mr . Sargooa then proceeded to examine the-insolvent , who in the course of lis replies estimated the amount of his debts , as enumerated in the schedule , at 2399 / . Mr . Sargood pointed out several discrepancies in the evidence of Loid Gordon , and submitted that the petition must be dismissed as untrue . His Honour stated his couviction that the objection raised by Mr . Sargood struck at the root of the proceedings . There was no intentional falsehood , but still he felt that the petition ¦ was so manifestly untrue that he was bound to dismiss
it-William Bable Thorn , who was discharged from the police force last Saturday , has been committed by the Bow-street magistrate for trial on a charge of obtaining clothes on Monday from a shop in High-street , St . Giles ' s , on false pretences . -He represented that he was doing detective business in plain clothes , and that he and tis sergeant wanted a coat and trousers in which to apprehend three ' smashers . ' This was a falsehood , and he admitted it to be so when examined before the magistrate , but added that he , meant to pay for the goods in a day or two , and that it was his only means of obtaining decent clothes in wHch to seek for work .
John Marks , coachbuilder , Bell-street , Edgewarexoad ; Samuel llarks , also a coachbuilder , Bernardstreet ; and Abraham Simons , Buckingham-street West , Kent-road , coach broker , are under remand at Marvlebone , charged with , feloniously removing and concealing a part of the property of John Marks to the amount of several thousand pounds ; he being at the time a bankrupt . Joseph Shaw , a middle-aged man , was charged on Monday at Lambeth with creating a disturbance at the Obelisk . A policeman stated that , about four o ' clock on Sunday afternoon , a crowd of two or three hundred persons was assembled at the Obelisk , where several ' parties' were preaching furiously against one another . Shaw had just quarrelled with another inan , in
consequence of a religious controversy ; but their language , the policeman said , was of anything but a religious character . The constable stated that the scenes at the Obelisk , almost every night N but particularly on Sundays , arc of the most uproarious description . In reply to the magistrate , Shaw said— "I went to the Obelisk to hear the preachers , and in the course of the sermon the name of Christ came up , and a man ttlat was' there said he was an impostor . I told , him that he was an impostor , and deserved to be ticked for saying what he had . ; and I don't know of anything else I did . " Ho was ordered to find bail for good behaviour . Several persons complained of the scenes that occur at the Obelisk every Sunday , and the magistrate advised that a deputation should wait on Sir Bichard Mayne .
A sad case of mental affliction came before the notice of Sir R . W . Card en , at Guildhall , on Monday . Richard Capon , a middle-aged man , -was charged with picking a pocket in Christ Church , Newgate-street , during service last Sunday . The fact was clearly proved ; but it was also shown that the poor man was out of his mind . He had been employed at Alderman Rose ' s warehouse in Thames-street , but had injured his back by an accident , since which he had been mentally deranged . On his person were found several pieces of paper , with the words , " My mind is set on you , " written on them . He told the alderman that he gave them away to young men , but did so ' under a feeling of wildness . ' His wife being unable to take care of him , Sir R . W . Carden directed that he should be taken to the union , a « d kindly treated , as ho was in no degree criminal .
