This case, which occupied the Court almost the whole of Saturday, was this moriiing again brought under the consideration of the LORD CD A NcELLOR: The facto are briefly these :—ln January, 1816. • commission of bankruptcy was issued B.l.sitist Mr. Nuts, as an insurance -broker, dealer anilchapinati, which was regularly worked through, and be trod procured the signature of some of the assignees, Bull of a sufficient number of his creditors, to entitle him to his certificate. One of the assignees, bows ever, who had signed, received information that Mr. Nies had been guilty of a fraudulent conceal. meat of property, and, on this ground, a pctitiiiii was presented to the Vice-Chancellor, praying that the certificate might be stayed. On the statettiei.t of affidavits it appeared, that there was contrary tsu . tinoany as to the validity of the assignineia of a farm in Eases, called Chingford-hall, occupied by the Bankrupt, and sold previous to Ins I,..tuitruptey to his brother ; and the Vice-Chancellor thought fit to direct an issue to tr y v.hether there was a lounit fide sale of the household furaiture and stock to the brother, or whether it was a fraudulent assigionetit, intended only to defeat the claims of the Bankrupt's creditors.
