issoLrEND DEBTORS' cobur. GUILDKALL, WIWIMINIITIOR, WIDMUDAT, AUOVier 86. There were • number of oppooed cases on this dry's list, but they were generally devoid of public toteresi. Mr. R. Crowther, • very fashionably dressed young gentleman, applied for his discharge. Ile was opposed first by Mr. MATH, on the part of Mr. R. Phillpot, au °Seer of the Sheriff of London. . _ . The Learned Counsel commenced by ititerre. gating the Insolvent, respecting the valuation of his wardrobe. and that of his Lady, which was set down iii the schedule as worth only 51. 10% Mr. Crowther replied, that this was the full foe ; and added, that be was indebted to his bro ther for having the power of appearing as well dress. eel as he did in Court ; but as his dreg could o .ly be considered as a loan, he did not feel himself cull ed upon to set down its value in his schedule. Mr. !WWI then 'hewed the Insolvent • bail bond, which he admitted was signed by him, and given to the officer, Mr. Phillpot. The latter was immediately examined by his Counsel :—He said, that he was an officer of the Sheriff of Lindon, and had beets under the neces sity, in the discharge of his duty, of arresting Mr. Crowther, who give hint this hail-bond to procure Iris release. He consented, but subsequently Anatol the bond unavailable, slid was in the end . pelted by the plaintiff, Mr. Lathpole, at whose suit lie had arrested Mr. Crowthete to pay the latter's' debt, which was 429/. 25.; and the costs he expect. ed hourly to he calkd ou for, which would swell the sow to 'wadi 501. The Cove r uebted brlsether the present oppo skidoo was tenable oa I bra-bond of this kind. Mr. Harrel earnestly contended that it was—and on this plain rod fair ground, that the opposing creditor, Mr. Phillpot, had taken this bail-bond, and been subsequently obliged to pay the debt and costs ; lie was, therefore, pro tango, a creditor, and entitled to be heard. He was compelled to pay the money as • surety; and the Court had over and over again held, that a surety in the nature of bail was within the construction of the Stith clause of the Act. The ConeT—" It has been so held iu cases of recognisance or misdemeanor." Mr. HUTH'S objection not being conceived by the Court to come 'Ulna this description of re cognisance— Mr. Julio Weight, a creditor, came forward in peewit to oppose the Insolvent, and first objected to the address which Mr. Crowther stated to be his last residence, sod afterwards to his having removed his trunks front the creditor's house on a Sunday night to avoid the payment of an 'mar of rent. Ile also charged him with a coucealoneut of property of serious descriptions, particularly valuable denotes sool jewels belonging to his wife. The Insolvent stated, that lie had, for a consider. able time, in 1917, hedged with this last creditor, in Adam-street, Adelphi, and paid him three guineas sad a half per week ; that lie had, about Moe months ago, returned and taken lodgings from him at two guineas a week. He denied having taken these lodgings by the week, hut by the month ; and complained that the landlord, after having been paid the amoont of a bill he had sent in, thought proper, without any previous lotions two, to distrait' a piano-forte for an old balance of 121. On being treated in this manner, he instantly quitted the house. He denied having ever had any valuable plate, as was insinuated; but the plated articles and cutlery which he had, he was compelled to sell before he had gone into prison. His wife's jewels, and some valuable articles of dress, also shared the same fate. Some of the Gu rnee were sold after he went to prison, hut he had seething to do with the sale, for they had previously been deposited with a person who had advanced money upon them, and who actually stow claimed a suin of 351. for the loss he had sustained no their sale, between the sum he had lent and the pro duce. The jewels never fetched 1,0001.-200/. or 3001. was the most realised by them, and that was lung before he had gone to prison. He had him self sold a pair of hi« wife's diamond err-rings to Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, for 70 guineas; the rest of the articles were sold by the person who reckoned him a debtor for 341., fur about 1251. Alice he went to prison. The possession or them was, in fact, for a long time out of his (the Insol vent's) hands. The COURT itopiired whether the Insolvent (who appeared to be a professiolial man) had ally books? The latter replied in the negative. The COURT then pointed out to him the neces sity there was of Isis at least limed's% in his schedule the particulars of his wile's jewels, and the mode of their sale. 11r. Crowther then said, hr woe compelled to mention, that he never had any control over, or Property in, the jeweli of the Lady who went u 11rr. Crowder—she was not, in fact, his wife. The gr.•ster part of thew belonged to the Lady before lir knees her. The Couar ordered the cw to stood over until Friday, for the purpose of basis% the schedule •mivudeJ by the insertion of the anode iii which the pricis were disposed of; sod that notice of the 4osirotlnterit should be served on the two opposing trediturs.
