He WUs instructed to suggest to his Lordship, that the Court should direct • cum . . missiou. to ascertain what compensation should be made to the lesvees, which would be a better cnurse than for the lessees to sue individually in the Court of Session in Scotland. lie confessed he had not been able to find ■ny' case where the Court had directe4 a Commission of this nature; but want of precedent, lie was convinced, would not prevent his Lordship from granting it, when the purpose was to save expense and litigation ; fur, when the Commission was executed, the Imre% would be severally entitled to their compensation. He was not aware of any other proceeding that the Court could , direct that would answer the purpose. Under those circumstances, he took the liberty of Making the suggestion on ope • g the petition generally. Mr. A BERCROMBY and Mr. BARBER followed. Mr. HART said he was at a loss how to give an answer to this petition, for he did not know what it preyed for. If it prayed that our person might be at liberty to sue for the whole of the lessees, that could be done without presenting the petition. His Lordship could not grant a Commission that was not prayed for. He, however, doubted, if it was prayed for, that the Court had the jurisdiction to grant it: If the petition was only presented. for the purpose of compressing litigation, he would not oppose it, but it asked that all the lessees might be at liberty to bring suits or actions. He agreed • that it would be wise in all the lessees who were adults, to agree that a bill should be filed by one for the benefit of the whole, and if there were ■ny infants amongst them, on an application to his Lordship, he would refer it to the Master to devise how consent could be given for them, so that they might become parties to the suit. In his humble opinion, the petition was only presented to get the authority of the Court for a proceeding most dan gerous and novel in its nature. If they would • bring forward any proposition that was applicable to the case, his clients would accede to it, hut under all the circumstances of the case, he had no doubt but his Lordship would dismiss the petition with costs. Mr. TnEsLovE followed, and said that the House of Lords had sent hack the decree to Scotland, to reduce the leases, and to inquire what competiss tion ought to he made to the lessees; therefore if his Lordship directed a Commission, he would he only doing what the House of Lords had done before. Mr. Tito',sign, Counsel for the executors of the late Duke of Qnsteusberry, said that his clients had no other interest than to protect the property of the testator from the expense of useless litigation, which would be the case if the Commission was granted. As he understood rsbut was done in the House of Lords, their Lordships sent the decree back to the Scots Courts for something to be done there before the leases were reduced. He was aware that his Lordship would not part with the fund in Court, until it was ascertained the amount of compensa tion the lessees were entitled to. He acknowledg ed he was not acquainted with the Scots law, but there might be such a case that the lessees would not be entitled to any thing by the way of com pensation ; hut if they were, the Commissioners acting under a Commission directed by that Court, could not ;,; rant it to them, as it could be done j only by a Court of Law in Scotlend; Sir A. Pinaorr, Counsel for the legatees under the will of the late Duke, said, he could not look at the petition without a feeling of indignation, for it prayed for nothing, and his - Lordship was asked to direct a Commission on the suggestion of Coun sel. He wished to draw his Lordship's attention to the petitioners. They appeared on the face of the petition to be Robert Anderson and John Barker, and they set forth that they petitioned on behalf of themselves and all other persons who have claims on the Queensberry estates. He had heard of a creditor petitioning on behalf of him self and the other creditors of an estate, but here there was no creditor or claimant, for the leases were not reduced, and perhaps never might. He would wish to know if they had got a power of at torney from the other lessees to act fur them, for they had been gravely told that the application was to save the expense of litigation. The LoRD CHANCELLOR—" They only wish we-should have a share in the profits of thelift- I • gation." . Sir A. PlcnorT said, certainly it would not he fair that it should all he expended in the north, without letting poor old England hare her share of the profits, particularly now, when she wanted it so much. Ile, for his own sake, and those around him, could not object to have a lump of it ; but however humorous this might lie, his clients, the legatees, wished to guard against it, as they hoped to be paid their legacies if due care was taken of.. the property. There never was an opplication made to that Court which had so little ground to stand on. He therefore had no doubt but his Lordship would dismiss the petition with costs. Mr. RoUrELI. followed.

The Court was engaged during the des- in hearing bankrupt petitions. A great number of cases were disposed of, but not of a nature to produce public interest. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 11. There were several opposition cases this day, but they were quite uninteresting. Richard Swayne, late a farmer at Chertsey, in Surrey, was opposed by Mr. HEATH, 011 two grounds - Ist, for a fraudulent conveyance of his property ; and idly, for an undue reference. It was alleged by the. Learned Counsel, that the In solvent had made a conveyance of his interest in the produce of his farm from year to year to a relative of his own, who hail since under this conveyance obtained rissession of the stock, and that this was done to defeat the claims of other creditors. But on the examination of the Insolvent (and no other witness was produced), it appeared that this con veyance was made three or four years ago, and pus ses,ion given older it in 1816. The Coy RT therefore held, that no proof of either fraudulesit . conveyance or undue preference wasmade out, and the Insolvent was therefore en titled to his discharge. Samuel .locobs was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK, on the ground of his obtaining credit without hav ing my probable means of paying his debts. It appeared from the testimony of the Insolvent, that he had been last year engaged in the corn trade, which proved a very losing business, and that though he had purchased at the close of the year, and in expectat• of making a good sale, he had been disappointed and compelled to sell at a loss. The COURT observed, that in acting upon the clause which provided against contracting debts I under false pretences, and without probable means of paying, it was necessary that the intention of the party so to act, should be clearly collected from his situation and conduct. Here, though the Insolvent appeared to be speculating in an article of trade, the price of which was constantly varying, and was compelled to sell at a loss, it was not, as the facts stood, to be inferred, that - he boil bought merely to get the property of another into his hands, and then to sell it as he could. One man may be 'fortunate and another unfortunate in the same spe culation, without any dishonest intention being at tached to the man, who, to use the common phrase, was unable to keep Its head shove water. There was nothing in this case to satisfy the Court that the Insolvent had acted with gross injustice towards his other creditors. He was therefore discharged. RULES OF COURT. In the course of the day, in the progress of some cases, the Learned Commissioner observed, that he would not, without mature consideration, and with out a full set:se of a practical evil arising from some of them, alter any of the existing rules of Court, be cause he was bound to believe that they acre adopt ed upon a sense of their justice and necessity. It was also lobe borne in mind, that the Acts which constituted the Court were under the revision of the Legislature, and there was a possibility that he might perhaps alter a rule which the Legislature might think essential to the administration of the Act. NVlivrever he found it absolutely necessary, in the performance of his duty, to alter a rule, he should certainly do so, but not without mature con sideration.
