HOWARD AND GIBBS'a BANKRUPTCY Yesterday the Commissioners under Howard and Gibbs's Bankruptcy met to receive further proof of debts. STAR ASSURANCE COMPANY. Mr. James Mitchell applied, as Secretary to the Star Assurance Company, of which the bankrtipts were members, to pose a debt of £1,112, due by them to the Company, on account of Eolicies of As surance. Mr. Mitchell put in the' book of orders of i the Directors, authorizing him to draw bills upon the bankrupts for the balance of their account. - Mr. TRESLOVE objected to the'form of prod ten dered. He said that the Company having no cor porate charter, had no authority to aisume - corporate' functions, and eject their Secretary into a'cotnpetent person to prove debts. Such g proceeding` was di rectly contrary to the Act of-6th George I. ancrthere were many cat.es ib point, • - -In answer toa question from the Learned Counsel, Mr. MitChell replied; that the COMpany consisted of about two hundred co-propriefors. Mr. TRESLOVZ said, that the evil of such Assbcia; tions was this,": that if an assurance were to be re covered, the complainant was compelled to bring actions against two hundred individuals, and if any one of them died, then came an abatement of the suit. He would not remark upon the circumstance, were it not that he understood there was i late re fusal to pay an assurance; • Mr. blitcheedeclared- that no such refusal had ever taken place. • Mr. Carroll. declared also, that the statement of. .the Learned Counsel was quite untrue. Mr. Tftenovz said; that he spoke from his instruct-• tions: they might be erroneous, but they were his authority for what he stated. Mr. Carroll complained that such an imputation was false; it went to affect the character 'of a Com pany which uniformly discharged all its demands. No Counsel had a right to cast suck imputations. The Commissioners interfered, Ind begged Mr. Carroll would desist from interposing. Mr. TRESLOVE said that it was quite fallacious to suppose an action could be brought against such a So ciety : they had no directors or iesponsible persons. Mr. Carroll.-1. They have both. If this Society be not legal, then no Insurance Office in London is." After some conversation between the Learned Conn.; sel, a new form of deposition to prove the debt *as, put in, making Mr. Mitchell the individual daiming ,the. debt rrsonally, and not for the Directors. He * . • saiittbitt he could adopt thit form as he was the re sponsible °Meer of the Eitabli%hment. • Mr. Tanit:ove cross.examined him upon the man ner in which he had incurred the responsibility, and he replied, that beingunavqoainted with legal tech nicalities, he could only say that the debt was in curred upon policies in the regular course of trade. Mr. MONTAGUE for the Star Company, defended Societies associated for proper and beneficial pur poses, and said that the 4 , Bubble Act" was only in tended to apply to Societies Which tended to the pub lic grievance. Ile quoted his own book to shew that the Courts of Law had held tire doctrine which he now propounded. The of Statute, he knew, had slept for a long time, and an erroneous notion had gone forth that all combinations of this kind were il legal ; but in the case of the King and Dodd, Lord Elleuborough, with his usual penetration and saga city, pointed out, that unless where a combination was proved to exist for bad purposes, the Legisla ture could never have intended to apply the provi skins of that Act. Mr. Tnestova said that the law was imperative, and pronounced such Societies a fallacy and bubble. What was the use of a Charter and an Act of Parlia ment, if these Societies could assume corporate func. dons? They at once, if tolerated, put an end to the King's le . tters of incorporation. He contended that the law of the case was deci.ive against such a•Society. Mr. TR Es Ecg.--“ We are of opinion that this debt may be proved." Mr. Mitchell proved it accordingly. • MR. CARROLL'S DEBT. Mr. MONTAGUE said that he now appeared on be half of Mr. Carroll, who was ready to prwe his debt upon three hills of eicharige, amounting to £13,217. Mr. Tager.ove requested that the Clerk would read over the notes of Mr. Carroll's evidei.ce on the former day, and said that from that it would appear he had refused to give information respecting two accounts which remained unsettled between him and the bank rupts.--The following questions - and answers were read : Was there not at that time an account of money dealings sub sisting between you and the banktupts?—Yet, there was. What description of account do you call that?—Au old ac count, and a temporary loan account. When was that account last balanced? To the last question no answer bad been given. The Learned Counsel now repeated it, and Mr. Carroll was sworn, and examined as follows: Are you now prepared to answer that question? Mr. Carroll was ;bout to reply, when Mr. MORTAGUE interposed, and contended that the Gentlemen on the other side were not entitled to ask that question. In his opinion other Professional Gentlemen had concurred. The question was one of great importance to the commercial world. There was a case in ex parte Symes, which would be round in Vesey ; bin there the debt which the attorney ap plied to prove was said to have arisen out of bribery st an election. The man refused to answer the ques . - dons put respecting the alleged bribery, and he was not in consequence allowed to prove: but there was no analogy between that case and the present, for hire Mr. Carroll was ready to answer any q u e s ti ons 'touching thithreebills which he now appeared to prove; and being , so;• he had no right to be called upon to go into explanations respecting accounts quite extraneous• from the present claim h • had to make. Mr. Carroll was here ready to prove upon three bills, amounting to between £13,000 and 1:14,000. He had a further demand upon the bank rupts, but it was secured by mortgage. He' was ready to answer any.questions relative to these bills, for which he gave full value: they were unconnected with any other money transactions he had with the bankrupts, and he respectfully submitted that he had no right to be examined out of the record. If the Commiisioners entertained an opinion that -Mr. Car roll ought to be examined respecting general ac counts, whidh were altogether distinct from that he now came toprove, then the Learned Counsel h a d on ly to commun icate, that before Mf. Carroll submitted to such a deeisiOn, he would take the opiniOn of the Lord Chancellor, which he trusted he could obtain in the course of the enuring week. Mr: TREELOVE and Mr. FRED. Pott t ocx contended, that as Mr. Carroll had in his former examination adMitted the existence of two open accounts '(for he said they were still unsettled), it was competent and . •proper for the Cominissioner% to examine into both.. In one account he might be a debtor, and in the other a creditor: hOw could it be ascertained that he was:entitled to Maki : a Lonajele claim, without exa- • Mining into 'the'state of these unsettled accounts? • Mr. Moteraotis, in reply, urged his original posi- - tion, that no witness had a; right to be examined upon dealings - not at all connected with that out of which his present claim arose. If such were not the prat-. ' tice the'diilingi of any m erchant throughout his whole life might be ransacked upon any occasion where he appeared before Commissioners to prove a specific and unobjectionable debt. Mr. TRRESECIe,' for himielf and the other Commis sioners, said—" We are all of opinion that Mr. Car roil should, answer the queition. There is no diffi culty in the case. This Court is open to a creditor • to prove his debt; but' the Legislature never intended that a'man's own statement should be taken as cpn. elusive, without the inquiry which the nature of the case admitted. We are of opinion that the dealings of the parties at issue, at' any time, are open to inves. ligation; otherwise the 28th section of the Act Of George H. was useless. Unless Mr. Carroll answer the question's put to him, he cannot be permitted so prove his debt." Mr. Carroll; then, respectfully declined answering the question. Mr. MoNmGurgave notice that Mr. Carroll Would appeal to the Lorct Chancellor. The Learned Coun sel said, that on Saturday meat he would apply far . the postponement of the appointment of assignees, en the ground that the Commissioners had not ysts dteided - cin a large debt which had been ieleirea to them.—=Adjourned until Saturday.
