At Fotkeringhay fair. on Monday last. there was *large show of horses. but none of the very superior description, and very little business was done. owing in some degree to the absence of London dealers. There was a good attendance of company at the pkasure fair in the afternoon. A melancholy circumstance happened to Mr. Parish, farmer, of Itarrowden, (only son of Mr Parish of Ryan), on hO return from the above fair. Whilst sitting on horseback, drinking at the door of a public-house in Cline, he fell to the ground in a tit of apoplexy, and died instantly. •vingCome . _wings., Mr. Disney was gone into at any length. - - The insolvent, is his examination by Mr. Coots, stated, that he had, formerly been an attorney, that be had ceased tot some time to practise in his prolission, but he had now resumed it again. He had contracted, no debts in twenty-One of the places of residencciuserted in his schedule, but be bad thought it advisable to advatr tine them all for the greater security. (A copy of the's., 'solverg's advertisement, containing a list of upwsictof thirty residences, appeared, as a curiosity in its wire, 61 thi papers about a fortnight ago). He had no property in Scotland, or in Gloucestershire, at the time he to take a cottage and land of Mr. Disney ; but he w b e a l i beco, and still was, entitled to property in Wiltshire to the amount of 30 , 00 W. Hipslaim to the property had been twice tried, and there 4ad been a verdict *gains; him each time. The Court of King's Bench, however. had granted a new' trial, and he had still. strong Is • • of urtimhte success. He went to Mr. Disney to take the honsein July last, when an agreement was entered brio between them. The agreement was here read by Mn Cooke. (It stated, amongst other things, that the pro perty was to be taken at a valuation). In pursuance of that agreement a valuation took • place, according to Which his debt to Mr. Disney ansopnted to 1;9001. and odd; besides which, Mr. Disney chimed 9001. amnia rally for improvements. (This was het - forth as usury in the schedule). He told Mr. Disney, Whin be went to take - the house, that be was entitled to property to tte amount of nearly 100,0001. This was correct, for he 'had claims in Chancery, amounting to 69,0001. arising out of West India property, which claims were ac knowledged by the representatives, who were rich men, and by whom be expected shortly to be paid. These claims were due since 1817, but he had not commenced proceedings as early as he might have done, because, knowing the delays of Chancery, he was endeavouring to settle with the representatives. He was, however, at length obliged to file a bill. He had received 6001. out of the sale of the furniture, dec. which be had obtained from Mr. Disney. He did not pay this money to his e l but applied it towards the prosecution of his Wiltshire, claim, because he was confident of succeeding in estahal listing it. He had, however, repeatedly offered back this property to Mr. Disney. trem I After some further examination of the bawl • Disney offered to be sworn, principally for the purpose' of refuting the charge of usury brought against him by the insolvent. His counsel, however, opals consulting wadi him; declined putting him in the box. Mr. MUTH was then proceeding to examine the is. solvent in explanation but was stopped by the Chief Commissioner, who said that nothing had 'been proved which brought the case within the velum' of say penal clauses of the act. Mr. COMM contended, that the debt with ler. Diem had been contracts,' by the insolvent without any roes. sonable expectations of being able to pay it, for he must have known that those mighty claims of which be had spoken were moonshine, mere phantoms of his :mom He considered his conduct throughout the transaction as most reprehensible; for not Content with obtaining the property of Mr. Disney, sad afterwards selling it without paying him one farthing out of the proceeds, he endeavoured to deprive him of all chance of payment hereafter from his assignees, by representing his claim as usurious Mr. H 341111, for the iasolvait, observed that the cir cumstance of his having paid 2,0001. for costs, proved that he did not consider his claims so be mere moon shine; and the Court of fling's Bench having granted another new trial, proved that they did not consider them to be of so unsubstanti4 a nature. WO respect to Mr. Disney's d. mand fer MI. for improvements, the insolvent Tat bound in duty towards hit other creditors to give what 'he considered its true description. What- ever might have been the value of those improvements to others...whatever delights those Cypriots groves. and lakes, and suramer•honsei, might have been made the scene 0f,....t0 the insolvent, who bad no such purpose to answer, thel were valueless • and he, therefore, thought' they could form no consideration to uphold a claim of SOW. for them.
