COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 7. Err-pale SMITH, in the Matter of Ran, a Boarry. This was an application on behalf of a judgment creditor, praying to be permitted to prove his debt under the commission, in order to entitle him to as sent to, or dissent from, the bankrupt's certificate. This motion was made on the gre.unds of the bank rupt's having set up fiaitious creditors, !ex the sole purpose at obtaining his certificate, in defraud of his bona fide creditors; and it was stated, that he had been no less than three times a bankrupt, and the last time was little better than a mere pauper, but that a good property was settled upon his wife and children ; that tne petitioner's debt was a fair and Sono ffde transaaion, and amounted to 17001.; in opposition to which the bankrupt had set up a number of fiaitinus creditors, claiming upwards of 80001. against his estate, among whom WAS a M- I feigner, claiming a large sum of money for corn- I muuicating to him an invention, which precluded the necessity of using copper in sheathing ships, with many other frivolous and fictitious claims. On the part of the Bankrupt, it appeared that the Petitioner held him in execution for 1700 L under which he was now lying in prison, and subsequently to issuing the commission, offered to give him his li bet ty, on condition that he should sign Wall securities for the debt, payable by instalments; this proposal was accompanied by a sort of threat or insinuation, that if he did not comply, the creditor would take measures either to supersede the commission, or pre vent him obtaining his certificate. The reveral debts charged as fiaitious, he swore to be fair and just ; and the Commissioners of Bankrupts, under the com mission, further certified, that he had conformed is the nsusl way with the Bankrupt Laws. Under these circumstances the Loan Ceaeecat.- Loa could not help feeling that this was an attempt of a harsh and unfeeling creditor to clu' an unfor tunate drbtor, and keep him in prison perhaps for life. His object evidently was to make the bank rupt give him such securities as might hereafter af fea his personal liberty, and thereby enable him to work upon the feelings of the wile, who had a pro. petty for the maintenance of herself and family. Although it was rather a suspicious circumstance, that this was his third bankruptcy, yet as the Com missioners had solemnly certified, under their bands and teals, that the bankrupt had sluly conformed to the provisions of the Bankrupt Laws, sad as be saw no cause to doubt or sus,:eit the veracity of these Commissioncrs, lie likewise saw nn reason for staying the bank , upt's certificate, and therefore dismiased this application with costs. , COURT OF ICINGS BENCH, -Warms x , Nov. 7. ESCAPE. /MD, V. JON'S. The Aveoansv-Gastaao moved for a Rule to shew cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case. He stated. that this was an aaion brought against %Ir.

The substance of the Declaration was this. it was an anion upon a case consisting of two counts, the wog is 4 the first of which were, that the Defendant intended to catch And wound the Plaintiffs dogs, near divots highwa; s and foot ways, and for that purpose placed pieces of meat, first), and alter atr.og soselii,g Mutts, in and abut certain traps and snares. and continued to do so for the space of ten days. by re.son of which s4ra dogs of the Plaintiff, then And there [Wally passing along the highways, and three other dogs of the Plaintiff, lawfully being upon the lands, and three other dogs belonging to other persons, lawfully 1 being u; on the ground', being enticed and allured upnii West lamb at ;s1 grou.:ds, were caught theiein, anJ greatly v.ounicd. The.other count merely de scritud ch.: case in somewhat different words. l' his was a singular and unprecedented anion. It ap peared in evidence, that the Defendant was the Proprietor of a wood, called Caieswood. through which there was a public footway long before NIT. Townsend, the Pi.vintiff. came to reside in that neig . .bourhood. At the end of the year 1802, and beginning of 18r1J, a blacksmi h had been ordered by the Defendant to make traps to catch foxes. badgers, and other wild beasts. These traps were sct t.:ere day and night. and covered over ; the bait used was dell. an I several badge: s were, ac ,:or Jingly . soon caught.

Mr. CA a RCM moved for a Rule to set aside the verdia in this case. lc was an athon brought to recover the sum of 18,0001. and was one of great importanr:t to the commercial world, and also of great consequence to Country Bankers. The Defendants were the Assignees of Dickinson and Co. persons who carried on the business of bankers in Birmingham, and they were enttlod to the sum for which they had taken their verdia, provided certain bills of exchange, paid into their bank, were to be considered as tl.e property of the Plaintffs, and not of the Bankers. This case depended upon the manner in which the business between the Plaintiffs and the Bankers was carried on ; and it is extremely different from the manner in which it is carried on in London. To point out that difference, fie should contrast the two modes of car rying on business. If bills, which are not yet due, were paid in by a customer to a banker in Londtn, the London Banker writes it short in his book, and does not carry it to the credit of his customer, until these bills be paid ; not so with the country Bank ers, such as those now concerned is the present ac tion. They had always dealt in this manner; when a customer came to their counter. and made a pay ment of cash or undue paper, it was deemed a pay ment made to his credit. The Banker exercised his judgment as to light gold or bad notes, and the validity of the bills, and for what he kept ht gave credit to his customer immediately, uniting the whole into one gross sumiand considering the undue paper as cash. If a customer upon such an occa sion wanted a remittance upon London, the Baker would give him a bill on London ; or if he wanted a large sum in cash, equivalent to the amount of the securities he thus paid, the Banker would give it him, or would suffer his custom:r to draw to the full ext nt of the amount so paid. al though the bills remained undue for a considerable length of time. The Banker considered such bills as his own, and made use of them to serve his own purposes ; and in many instances, in order to save the expense of stamps, he aaually gave *way the undue paper. in payments to other customers. using a bill of exchange not date. a guinea, or a Bank of England note, equally as Iris own property. The three notes which constituted the subjea of the pre sent cue, were not yet due. and therefore the Plaintiffs then insisted that this was money of theirs which they had a right to take from the Banker, because, if the bankruptcy had not taken place, they wese not entitled to specie.— This matter was tried at Guildhall, and the Jury, uniting in o ' inion with the dodge, formed their judgment upon the London pronica, because all these bills were indorsed when put into the banker's h a nds. This, hoWever, mn,t necessarily be so. Its London. hills are paid in in a state of negociation ; but, netwitlista7 , ding their having an indorsement. a London banker would not give credit to his cus tomer In a single shilling. biwlthe Counsel) was iii a st t r to pro lure evidence that country beakers conside-ed e .1% a gross payment. ar.d that the p ,ities chat ged interest bate ways. This was not like a case whets a bill was paid in against another bill. L rd E LLLLL necirou'l The Jury had a strong opinion tat 'very person who pays bills into the h.nds of a Hanker, pays them to an Agent, to re ceive money for them; and, in case they give cre dit for these hills, they will have suit against that party, by means of an indorsement ; these bills, therefore. remain as a dry deposit." Mr. A mnow—" I certainly could prove, that the universal curse of business pursued between these customers and their bankers, was to pay in a gross sum, and to have an immediate credit to that amount. They rely upon this as cash." Lord ELLtNaOßOtali' . It is certain that they might hare advanced money upon these bills, but it does not appear that they have done so; and. thetefore, they come to be nothing more than a mere s,cn:ny in the hands of the Broker." Mr. Gs it aow---t. My Lord, I shall seppose this case: If A. B. has sent in to his London banker's, C. D., paper to the amount of while his cash account only allows him to draw for 2001., a clerk of the banker would answer Lis drafts only to the amount of that 2001. If the bankers lent their customer a larger sum of money, it was quite a different thing, and totally indcpend.mt of his cash account. On the contrary, the ilirdlingham Banker. the winent his customer has paid him in hills, gives that customer authority to draw to the full amount thereof." Lord ELLattsoitouaa—N It appears Coat the Lon don Banker has a 4a. on that paper. but he has not an immediate suit upon it. The ion in one case and the right of suit in the other. appear to be th e same thing in the event of their being overdrawn." Mr. Gaaeow—it In the case of Bent st. Fuller. in 5 Tem Report:, 494, the question seemed to have turned upon a payment made upon a specific account, and went to raise a general credit from the instant it was paid in."
