Crosather, a eery failsinnably dressed young gentleman, applied for his discharge. lie was opposed first by Mll t _r. 11, on the part of Mr. R. Phillpot, an Officer of the Sheriff of London. The Learned Counsel commenced by interrogating the Insolvent, respecting the valuation of his ward robe, and that of his Lady, which was set down in the schedule as worth only. 51. 101. 11 Mr. Crowther zeplied, that this was the fell vs. lee; and adder' s /Ist he wakindebted to his brother for having the ;weer of appearing as well dresied as he did in (:Dort; bet didis dress could only be con sidered as a loan, he not feel himself called upon to set down its value in his schedule. Mr. HICATU then showed the Insolvent a bail-bond,' which he admitted was signed by him and given to the officer, Mr. Phillpot. The letter was immediately ecamined by his Coon.' eel :—He said, that he was an officer of the Sheriff et London, and had been under the necessity, in the discharge of his duty, of arresting Mr. Crowther,' who gave him this bail-bond to procure his release: He consented, but subsequently found the bond en. available, and was in the end compelled by the Plain.' tiff, Mr. Lathpole, at whose suit he had arrested' l,Mr. Crowther, to pay the latter's debt, which was' 31'91. 'b.; and the coos he espected hourly to be called on for, which would swell the sum to nearly 501. The Cower doubted whether the present opposi- 1 tfrn !us Irnown on a bail-bond of this kind. .1 Mr, HUTH earnestly contended that it was—and 1 , on this plain andfa ir ground, that the opposing ere. ditor,..Mr.. Phillpot, had taken this bail bond, and been subsequently obliged to pay the debt and costs ; he was, iherefeie, pro tango, a creditor, and entitled to he heard. He was compelled to pay the money as a surety ; and the Court had over and over again held, that a surety in the nature of bail was within the c. , ritt action of the 36th clause of the Act. The COURT ••••••" It has been so held in cases of re. cognizance or misdemeanor." Mr. Heath's objection not being conceived by the Court to come within this description of recogni. nee— Mr. John Weight, a creditor, came forward in person to oppose the Insolvent, and first objected to the address which Mr. Crowther stated to be his last residence, and afterpards to his having removed his trunks from the creditor's house on a Sunday night to avoid the payment of an arrear of rent. He also charged him with a concealment of property of vari ous descriptions, particularly valuable dresses and jewels belonging to his wife. The losolvetst stated, that he had, for a considers. ble time, in 1817, lodged with this lost &editor, in Adam-street, Adelphi, and paid him three gaineas .aird a half per week ; that he had, about nine months ago, returned and taken lodgings from him at two guineas a week. He denied having taken these lodgings by the week, but by the month ; and complained that the landlord, after having been paid the amount of a bill he had sent in, thought proper, without soy previous intimation, to distrain a piano. forte for ate old balance of 121. On being treated in this manner, he instantly quitted the house. lie de tried having ever er.) valuable plate, as was insinuated ; but the plated articles and cutlery which he had, he was v111 .014)(1 t.. sell before he had gone into prison. His wife's jeaels, and some valuable articles of dress, also shored the same fate. Some of the for m.r were sold after he went to pri l / 4 en, but he had nothing to to with the sale, for they had previously been deposited with a person who had advanced money upon them, and who actually now claimed a sum of 351. for the loss he had sustained on their sale. between the sum he had lent and the produce. The j..oels never fetched 1,0001.-2001. orools the most teati , ed by them, and that was lo n g lief . wa s he had gone to drison. He had himself sold a pair of hi• wife's diamond ear-rings to Messrs. 'Lindell and Bridge, for 70 guineas; the rest of the articles were sold by the person who reckoned him a debtor for 351, for shout 1251. since he went to prison. The possession of them was, in fact, for a long time out of his (the Insolvent's) hands. The COURT enquired whether the Insolvent (who appeared to be a professional man) had any books ? The latter replied in the negative. The CuouT then pointed out to him the necessity there was of his at least inserting in his schedule the particulars of his wife's jewels. and mode oft heir sale. Mr. Crowther then said, he was compelled to mention, that he never had any controul over, or property iu, the jewels of the Lady who went as Mrs. Crowther—she was not, in fact, his wife. The greater pelt of them belonged to the Lady before he knew her. The COURT ordered the case to stand over until Friday, for the purpose of having the schedule amended by the insertion of the mode in which the jewels were disposed of ; and that notice of the amendment should be served on the two opposing caditors. Charles Devonshire Wilmot was opposed by Mr. Payne, for obtaining fourteen barrels of flour by frawtolent means, for which be was to pay ready money. The COURT remanded him for this, but held him discharged from the other claims. Above seventy catesirtio_hearing this day and to•morrow. ' .. t. :• • -- - .
