'.r~ I 1 I t 4' • access to papers Mal accolints of the bankrupts, by •which he might be enabled to substantiate his claim? • Every one-knew that any creditor could call for the , t , production of any document in the possession of the , bankrupts or their malineea, which be thought proper for such a peeps's; besides which, as ittpingnee under the former commission, he had for revered months bad all the access he could desire •for such an abject. Would it be said that Mr. Cavell might spoliate or destroy books and papers which might defeat his claim? Such an imputa tion was too absurd to be for • moment attended to. He now tame to the neat pert of the case. It had been maid that solicitation had been used by the •batikrupts to procure the nomination of there as-. • signees. It was, no doubt, the duty of the Court to prevent the effects of any improper influence in . such cases; but did it follow, upon any principle of public policy, it would prevent • bankrupt from interfering to prevent the appointment of proper persons as essignees. It had been con ceded that a bankrupt had a right to exert himself to prevent the appointment of Union. per persons. Of that proposition no case could afford a stronger illustration than the present bankruptcy. Campbell, on the former commis• • •ulna, *wore himself to be • fit person to become assignee, as the holder of • debt of 1.0001. By the energetic exertions of the bankrupts, however, the points had been brought to an issue, which •hewed that be ought never to have been admitted as a.creditor at all. On that occasion, as on the present, it yea imputed that the assignees had been appointed by the influence of the bankrupts ; but it MOOT he 'Moved that it was by the tome exertion which detested the attempt at that improper choice. If • fiankrupt were allowed to exert his influence for the one purpose, it naturally followed that he should be allowed to exert it also for the other.— He was at a loss to discern the difference on any principle of public policy. He could not see any reason why, when the bankrupt was allowed to in terfere to prevent the election of A., he should not he allowed to use the same interference to secure that of B. He admitted that if the right were at all allowed, the Court would watch with care the mo tives which actuated the exercise of such influence. if an improper person were appointed, the Court would probablyconoect such sppoiatruent with an improper motive. He apprehended that that was the only I►mit to which the Court wooed confine the interference of a bankrupt in his own concerns. In many cases it would compel him to interfere. It would require of him, for instance, to prevent the proving of any unfounded claim of debt, and if he quiescently allowed an unjust debt to be proved, the establishing of that fact on application to the Chancellor, would prevent him from obtain ing his certificate. Mr. Howard slated that he be lieved himself, though • bankrupt, to be a solvent • man; that be had a separate estate worth 50,000!. and that on the books of the copartnership there were debts due to them amounting to 100,000/. ; of ‘ lthich if little more than half were realised, the • tilsole property together would be more than suffi cient to pay all the creditors. He therefore wished, as indeed it was his interest, as well as that of the creditors, that tire arrangement of the property should he iv the. hands of persons who would •ot allow any improper debts to be proved, and with whom it might be safely intrusted. Mr. Carroll, • as a public commercial character, well known in the mercantile world, and inured to habits of busi, nese, appeared to the bankrupts to be a most pro per person ;•sad so much exertion sad seal was di— played in canvassing for the appointment of Mr. *haw, that conceiving him to be an improper per sun, they felt themselves called upon to interfere and endeavour to direct the attention of the credi. tors to the preferability of Mr. Carroll. If it were a principle in the rule of the Court that a bank rupt was not to exercise any influence at all in the care, then he had nothing to say ; but if it should he allowed that he might exert his influence, but that he must not exert it improperly, then he called upon the other side to shew wherein the influenceof there bankrupts had been improperly exerted. The rarity attempt they had made to establish an impro per influence was in the case of Mr. Bridges, in which they had completely Mr. BELL followed on the same side. In addi tion to the two points which had been referred to by his Learned Friend who had just sat down. he should also address. himself to the question of the regularity of this petition. Should those two points be established, still he contended that the present application was not the proper mode of correcting the irregularity. He then referred to the Act of Parliament to shew that the assignment ought to take place immediately upon the appoint ment of the assignees, by the creditors, slid that therefore • petition to prevent the assignment, after assigness had been chosen, could not stand; but if there were any substantial ground for impeaching the propriety or fitness of such assignees, it must be done by petition. after assignment made for their removal. Reve►ting then to the question of the interference of the bank rupts iu the choice of the present assignees, he proceeded to argue that if the app ointment were to be cancelled on that ground, this was nothing less, su fact, than a petition against all the creditors who had voted for them. It sought, in fact, to invalidate their choice, solely because the bankrupts had wished them to be chosen ; fur there was no pretence what ever to say that any person was actually influenced in voting for these assignees by the solicitation or canvassing of the bsnkrupts. The extent to which such an-argument would go. would be this : that although all the creditors who voted fur these assignees should swear that they had not ever been applied to by the bankrupts on the occasion, yet their appointment must be set aside if it should appear that the bankrupts had made application ladder to the lop of a house without letting him fall ; a cam which, although it rested on so weighty and so ancient an authority as that of Joe Miller, yet he (the Learned Counsel) could siot deem it oss pregnant with probability us to be much relied wpm Mr. FIRAILD then spoke on the same side, con gaing himself to the two point, laid down by Mr. Hart. With respect to the interference by threat, as imputed in the case of Mr. Bridges, he con tended that, upon reference to the only affidavits in the ease which touched nit that point, it could not for • moment be sustained. lie further entered into a statement of the debts proved under the Runner commission, and also under the present, nod of the manner in which the votes for the is. livers had been given, and contended that the Vesult would obese that three-fourths in amount of The creditors were in favour of the present assignees. Upon the whole, lie thought the facts of the case would be found to be too weak to support the pre sent application. Mr. Wirrnenet.t. theta followed on the part of Mr. Howard. If ever there was an individual, he said, who was entitled, as a bankrupt, to exercise .61 influence which he 'Mehl possess to procure tisit e msintment, as assignee, of a person in whom place (sill contides.ce for the due admi 'Distention of his estate, that individual was Mr. Howard. That, he thought. no man could deny, Lith any reference either to the amount of the pro- perty which he here hod at stake, or to his con duct under the commission. And as to the suo ogres, or the manner iii which he had exercised • that influence, his conduct in respect to both was perfectly unimpeachable. The Learned Coun sel then went at much length into the muse course of argument as had been followed by Mr. Hart and Mr. Heald, contending that it was not the interference of a bankrupt by canvassing or solicitation alone in the choice of his assignees that could be deemed improper, but an interfe rence by threat, by bribe, or by some other means, which would have the effect of controlling a cre ' ditor in the fair exercise of his reason, and give a bias to his vote in opposition to his judgment. ' Mr. AGAR followed on the same side, for Mr. Gibbs. The question, he said, was entirely a new one, and required the most minute attention to the particular circumstances of the case; the prayer of the petition calling arm the Court to interpose in is manner, which, he contended, was at variance with one established principle of the Bankrupt Law,. The clause of the Act which his Learned Friend. Mr. Bell, had referred to us requiring that the assignment should take place immediately upoo the appointment of the assig,uees, went still further. He then read from the latter part of . the 26th clause of the Act the words directing the Commissioners to assign the estate of the bankrupt to such persons as shall be chosen by the creditors, which, he con• tended, left no option or discretion to the Commis. Moneta. That choice was, he said, in itself the removal of the provisional assignee. In the present case the commission issne4 in Angust, and under it Mr. Shaw, the petitioner here, and the petition ing creditor who sued out the commission, became provisional assignee. The assignees were chosen on the 3d November. but Mr. Shaw yet remained pro. visional designee. This, he maintained, raa an irre gularity in the proceedings ender the bankrupt laws, which Mr. Shaw himself had occasioned, and which this petition called upon the Court to sanc tion and prolong. The Vscs-ettaiscrt.r.oo said he should not now trouble Mr. Horne to reply to the able argument. which had been heard from the other side; when he did call upon him he should wish to have the advantage of his serious deliberation on the srgu. ments which had been urged. As the Court would nut meet for a few days, he should have an oppor tunity of reading over again all the evidence in the case, and of re-considering in bis own mind those topics which before struck him, with advantage.— When the Court met again, he would tell Mr. Horne whether he should call on him to reply, and when he did so, he would mention the particular topics to which he wished him to direct his atteutioi ----- COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wrenn/Ivrea, TMIRIDAY, Movement 29. Beare the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sad COIII.IIIII BRADLEY V. GWYNNE. This was an action against the Sheriff, under the following circumstances, which were stated by Mr. GURNEY—The Plaintiff, lie said, had been an upholsterer in Mary-le-bone, but about too years ego he became embarrassed in his cir cumstances, and with the intention of giving up his property to his creditors, he had his goods and stock Yelped, and the estimate was 4001. but he did not put his intention into practice. Two exe cutions were put on his premises, one for 18/. and the other for 48!. and a Sheriff's officer, minted Vorlev, levied, but instead of taking what was rea sonable, he took the whole of the property, even to the beds which the family slept on, and put them into fig lots, 28 of which were sold and were suf ficient to answer the executions, hut Worley refused to deliver up the residue, alleging that the Plain tiff had stolen them. This, Mr. Gurney said, was the case of his client, mid having proved it he should be entitled to the verdict of the Jury, with such damages as they thought for such cunduct the Defendant ought to pay. At the suggestion of the LORD CHIEF JUSTICR. the Plaintiff consented to take a verdict for 50/. • damuges. JOHNSON V. DESCHRIYER.

I9S. lIRRNETT S. SHEPPARD. This was su action brought by the Plaintiff, an animal painter, residing at Woodstock, for two portraits of horses painted by him in the year 1810 for the Defendant. The Defendant pleaded the Statute of Limitation', and also that he never re ceived the pictures. The Plaintiff called Robert Archer, • carver and gilder, who proved having received the pictures on the 30th September, 1810, and framed them by the Defendant's order'', after which he dispatched them by the coach or waggon, according to direc tions which he had received from the Defendant; but he could not say whether the pictures had come to his (Defendant's) hands, neither could he tecol feet whether the directions he had received from the Defendant were before or after he (the witness) te. ceived the pictures from the Plaintiff. Mr. Scxatarr submitted that here was no proof of the delivery. Ile read an extract from a letter of the Defendant's to the Plaintiff, dated in July, 1810, wherein he exprersed his dissatisfaction at the delay iii sending the pictures, and directing, that if they could nut be aent ,within a fortnight, the Plaintiff was to take no further trouble about them. This he (Mr. Scarlet') took to be a coun. term•nd of the order, as the condition was not complied with, the pictures not bring sent to Archer till September ; and, coupling that with the circumstance of the Plaintiff having so long delayed to bring his action, would, he thought, on. tidy the Jury that the Plaintiff should not recover. the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE left it to the Jury, on the evidence, to say whether the Defendant had ever received the pictures. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the Pleintiff.—Damages, ten guineas. PREROGATIVE COURT, Novnessa 49. FORBES S. GORDON. AFFIRMATION AND SENTENCE. This was a question of probate as to the last will tad codieila of John Forbes, Esq. deceased, late of Aberdrial4 North Britain, and of Fitzroy-square, London. The deceased (who, it appeared, was suddenly takes 111 only three days before) died on the 20th of June `loaf, at his bowie in Fitaroy-square, at tbe age of 78 years, possessed of considerable property, supposed to 'moon' to about 350,0001. Before his - death the de. dosed made a will, by which be left 5,000/. beside, an tenuity of 150/ per annum, to Mrs. Forbes, his sister, who *as meek advanced in years; also to the children of his de ;teased brothers and sisters be bequeathed considerable pro. peaty. The nephews and nieces by brothers and sister ererseted in number to 15, and in reversion* is their chil. *MN griead-nephrws and nieces of the it-editor, who amount. to 1181 1 ; be left upwards of 200,0001. To this will he ap. simlNlhemeifora Charles Forbes, John Forbes, and Nicht', &qrs. with another relation of the name of Mitchell. :The NW and resider of his real and personal estates he thed to his executors, " to staid sad answer /or stew," subject to legacies, in such part as he should Alilipme of by any codicil or codicils that he make to his last will. a Two•lrsesibiesesp pipers were likewise propounded as relic* is the ihrod.writing of the deceased, marked A sir s• , i n. will of the deceased wee econtaleed is the form of In. lose, which he put into the hands of his solicitor, Mr. Illistehinson, of Lincoln's Inn, on the 2.1 of Mayol)2o, for Abe pawn, as be Intimated to that Grader:wan, of altering . eg,po4ooo • sew will, so as to dieted* further berineate.

Tie present proceedings commenced by a caveat, which WM baked by Mrs. Caroline Gordon to oppose pr o b a te king granted to the papers propounded, she being largely leiatereeted as a niece of the testemes and 'ise residuary le tee. The facts of the ease wore brielly tbrie, es disclosed ' fay the evidence:— ' The deceased having entered into dinenasiee with his Soli. 'fakir about altering his will on the 2.1 of May, lir. !Joachim. •••• told him there was no necessity for such alteration, soli Idles residue might be disposed of by codicil'', appointing web legacies as he might afterwards tbiak proper te be, s et t I. To this the testator acquiesced ; and Mr. MAW being called away by other business, neglected e the iostrument further than the instructions is aa popeonded, which remained as the last will of the deer' sod who, it was then understood, reserved to himself power of disposing of the residue, but without ailed, saying how it should go. It was submitted, upon the evidence of the butler, named' Ilhiliner, that the 'lt-edged was prevented executing time paper marked A, by sodden death; he haying been ob d: on the same day on which he died with that paper is one hand, and s pen in the other, looking at it iotensely, sot that when the deponent come into the dining-room, the ille.' ceased opened his desk, aunt pot the paper into it, in the exact folding and situation in which it was found and iden tified after his death. The paper marked B was likewi.e contended to be a perfect codicil, although found in an int. perfect state, and undecided. Dr. I..toatuvree, and anotEeryomng Civilian, opposed the two pipets being admitted to probate. on the ground that they were imperfect papers, from which no testamentary in tention could be 'hewn, as to ally continuity of intention i• the deceased that they should ever operate; that the paper A was that which the deceased had sbandoued at the time of his death, and the paper B being comprehended in his will, was no longer operative, hut was impeiseded by the will itself, or instructions given to his solicitor, from which a regular tel lstrument was directed to be prepared. These codicil., they contended, were in direct contradiction to the will itmlf, which left the deceased's sister only 5,0001.; 11 h ,by Ithese codicils, leaving the residue *indisposed of, she would take 35,0001. in addition to the 5,0001. It was further con tended, the will and codicils should be sent to the Court of Chancery for construction. Sir J. NICHOL obverved, the Court would give this care its most earnest and serious utientine ; not only because of the great magnitude of the property, bet the muster of peewee iiiiecrsted in it ; although the magu,iltide of the property did wit vary the principle which governed the Court's decision. • POLlrlf. ' POW state?. FORGED TEN POUND BANK NOTES. A few days since Mr. Doncaster, the landlord of the Orange Tree public-bower, in the New-road, applied to Mr. Mansholt, the Sitting Magistrate, stating that he bad taken a forged 101. bank note about two months since, which had been traced back to him, he knew the person he bad re ceived it from, who was a female residing in Ension.place, New-road, whom he wished to have apprehended. After some investigation as to the uttering of the note, the Magistrate issued • summons, and the charge came on before Sir R. Biroie, when the servant gift, to whom he gave the titanic, attended, and stated that she tendered it to obtain change for Dr. Dillon, who lodged in her mix tress's house. On being interrogated by Sir R. Birnie as to how she became possessed of the note, she slid she re- I ceiveil it from a tall gentleman, whom she did not know. Sir Richard Rirnie's suspicion was excited that she had a guilty knowledge when she uttered the note, when Doctor Dillon, humanely stepped forward, and assured the Magistrate that the girl's conduct arose (rem confesiou, and Hot from a guilty knowledge, as she was of • most re spectable character. She having recovered herself, stated Thal it was in an evening about haltpvel *even o'clock when the Gentleman called, he inquired for Dr. Dillon, she in formed him be was out, nod she did mot expect him home till nine o'clock. The Gentlensau said his name was Jones, he was a particular friend of the Doctor's, he owed him some money, anil as he was leaving London early in the morning, fora considerable time, be wished to pay him before he went, and asked if there was anyone with whom to leave the money. She replied she would receive the money and deliver it punctually. Mr. Jones then gave the 101. note which has proved to be forged; she told him she had nut got change to take V. which Mr. Jones said he owed to Mr. Dillon, bet she would step out and get it, be saying in the mean lime he was going a little farther and would call again for the change; but there is every reason to believe that he watched her to the house of Mr. Doncaster, and ascertained that she had got the change, or there is every reason to suppose he would nut have called again, which be aeeordingly did, when be told the girl lie had made a mistake as to the sum he owed Mr. Dillon ; it was not 21. but IL Is. which be gave her, sod took the remainder of the change away. On Mr. Dillon's merle home, she informed him what had taken place, when he ob served that lie had rw doubt but that it was a swindler, as he knew no such person as she deeeribed. The girl described the pretended Mr. Josses to be a young man about twenty years of age, live feet nine mom high, his hair curled •t the temples, and a very white Iliad • he had a very genteel appearance, and wore a black eim, White waistcoat, and black trousers. He answers the doloelpition of a voting man who committed a similar offeseiV at the house of Dr. Gregory, a short time since. Mr. Doecaster applied to Sir R. Birnie to lowestalt• *as to be at the loss of the 101. ti, if,' Sir R. Birnie observed, that be bad nothhs tora. MIA who ass to bear the loss.
