Mr. Barry, Mr. Andrews, and Mr. Lane opposed the in solvent'sdischarge on behalf of twenty-three creditors, the whole number in his schedule being thirty. Mr. Padlock, who was counsel for the insolvent, stated, that he had his authority moo.. that the insolvent, who had a wife and eight children, all of them depeuding on him for support, and who had, besides, an open wound in his bead, which required constant medical attendance, was willing. nut of his income, which amounted to 4401. a year, to make no allowance to his creditor, of 11111. a year. Mr. Betty said the creditors, for whom he opposed' thnught the sum propowd to be paid out of his income 55.15 too small, and that 1501. a year might be applied to that purpose. Mr. Lawe said he appeared for Meier. Broughton and Ca. the insolvent's former agents, to whom he owes half hi• pre sent debts, anal for the liquidation of %%hit h he pays Sot. a year, with which, and it premium of 181 a year for the insuraowe of the insolvent', life, they were quite satisfied. Mr. Audrews claimed, ou the part of the creditors lie re• presented, that VSOI. a year bhuuld be set apart for the pay ment of the insolvent's debt.. The Court said, that taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, ordered that 1301. a year out of the inaolvent's income should lw paid over t. h., assignee, to be divided 'mom; his creditors. Geo. Martha was opposed by Mr. Padlock, on the ground of having put hie creditors to vexatious espence. The creditoi's solicitor proved that be sued the insolvent, nod, after a verdict had been obtained, the insolvent brou,lit a wait of error, on which the Lased costs amounted to VII, 10,. The Court said, it was impossible te depart from the rule laid down, and that an insolvent who put his creditor to vex atious armature, should not be immediately discharged. Toe judgment of the Court therefore was, that the iuul veot should be discharged in four monde. On Wednesday night. alrmit tettO'clnek, as Willitirn Saunders, accompanied by his brother and several other persons, were passing along Old Bridge-street,Truro, ots their way to the Exeter ints, to assist in brewing, they were suddenly alarmed by the discharge of a gun, and and an immediate exclamation front W. Saunders, ot— " I am shot, I am shot!" and he instantly droppid down. Suspicion immediately fell upon a barber, com monly known by the time of Sundry White, as the persons who committed this shameful and wanton out rage. Mr. Johns, of the Exeter 111110014 is a corisiable, and 3evcral other persons, immediately. proceeded to White's shop, where, atter some opposition, they found a musket which had recently been discharge d. We un derstand White admitted that he had discharged the gun, but said it was merely with a view to Irighteu some idle boys who irequently annoyed Mini The injured man was conveyed to the Infirmary, with the stun lodged in his loins, and is now very ill. Application has beeti made by the woun.led nian's brother fora war rant to apprehend White, which for the present 11.-s been refused; but we understand an investigation of the case will take place at the next monthly jnstice meetiiia.
