Rist had occasion, some time ago, to draw out a sum of 5001. and subsequently a sum of 2001. both of which transactions the insolvent managed to his Satisfaction. The insolvent soon alter came to reside in town, as minister of a congregation, and Mr. Met confided the sole management of the 3001, he then had in the funds to hint, with which, and 2001. of his own, the insolvent advised hint, he had purchased an Exchequer Bill for 5001. Mr. Ninon' here read extracts from a series of letters written by the insolvent to Mr. Rist, from 1815 iii April 1821, i•i all of which, except the last, be gave acccounts of the great success with whicti lie was specu lating in the fonds, buying, he said for ready money, and sellitig for the account, atilt holding the stock for a secu rity, so that there could he no loss. Mr. Hist being sa tisfied front these representations, the math of which he did not doubt, that his money was perfectly sale, be gave the insolvent au order on his coriii)ciiir fur 1741. and remit. d him 1051. in the month of April 1819, fur the purpose of iitereasing the capital that he thoti,4itt was in a state of rapid improvement. For so );•eat was the skill and success wit It which the insole• lit stated in his letters he !Ilillijgett the property, tiljt in Jan. 1821, Mr. Rises capital amounted to 8391. In one tile letters the insolvent told Mr. Rust that he long wished to go to Liverpool and Ireland to form mercantile connections in the former place, and in Dub lin, Cork, and Limerick; and as he COIICCITCti personal application was touch the best means of obtaining his of and wishing at the same tithe to consult economy avouch as possible, he had au.retd with the Evangelic Society to go to I relattil as a Missionary,. Th e Ilex' l etter a : written trout Ireland,and informed Mr. Rist Om the insolvent %vas succeeding in all his objects, though he had experienced much opposition from the ungodly, both in the pulpit aoil out of it. The moral state of Ireland, he slid, was truly deplorable, and the people all appeared to be poverty struck. A letter, written by the imolvent to It'st, in the month of January. 1821, expressed his sorrow that Rist had n ot sooner advised hint of his wanting 3001. as lie (the Mud vent) hail laid out all the money for the April recount, till which tune it was locked up, as those trsauaetiou♦ are net er altered. Rist, it appeared, was prevailed on to wait fur the mo ney lie toted till the settling day in April, immediately after which the insolvent astont , hed Itim by a letter, stating the total loss of his funded proper! y. " It is with infinite grief I inform yon," said the insolvent, ' that in consequence of repeated losses, in rapid succession, I am totally unable to make the pay ment you require, as the whole of my property, and that which you entrusted to my management, are in the Sallie situation. My susses exceed 1,2001. but I have hopes to recover, if my circitittuAlleki arc kept secret, as my credit is good on 'Change, haviiig always paid toy differences. though I could nut 'Let payment of those due ta me. have wisv nothing but whet 1 receise holm the congre gation:' Mt.

Mr. Heath. for the insolvent, said he would follow his learned friend's example, and not eat 111 l toe, as certainly no case had beet) made against hint. It was et ident that the insolvent and Kist had both been gamblers in the funds to:tea:T. Mr. !bat contitmed the illegal practice for years, when he thought it profitable, but now that he finds it a lositig business, he wants to punish his col leaipie for his share in immoral transactums, by which lie has lost all In. nivu propery. The Court, aGer comiderable time spent in constul tation, sat I, as the accounts given by the insolvent of the disposal of his creditor's money tad not been at tempted to he contradicted, it most he taken for true, and by that account it appeared that he had speculated with Bist's money with his consent, and had lost the the whole of it. winch was lies doubt a very eumni on case with those who gambled in the fonds. Tne conduct of both partii-s was equally illegal, but it did not appear that the insolvent had obtained any money by false pretences. and it was not pretended that be had concealed any property; the Court therefore declared that he was entitled to his discharge.
