Ex parts witatLilme, • Baelraist. This was an application, on the part of the Bank. rapt, to supersede the commission against him, praying also to be allowed his costs against Mr. Sutton, the petitioning creditor, that all his title deeds now in the Master's Office should be handed ever to him, kc. &c. The So tic; ros-Gsmea • t. observed, that the peti tian of the Bankrupt chaiged the petitioning credi tor with malice, in suing out this commission ; and he was satisfied, when his Lordship bad heard all the aggravating circumstances of the cast, he would be of the same opinion, and grant the prayer of his Client's petition. The petitioning creditor, Mt. Sutton, had been the agent and solicitor for the Bankrupt during a long period, in the course of which the latter naturally became indebted to the former in a considerable sum, for which he cursed him to be arrested • and although he well knew he had property amply sufficient to pay all his debts, Mr. Sutton sued out a commission of bankruptcy against him, under which be was deprived, of the whole of his property. Assignees were af terwards appointed, and, upon an application to this Court, it was referred to the Master, to ascertain the petitioning creditor's demand, which was by him considerably reduced. An issue was also directed do the Court of King's Bench, to try the question. whether Mr. Wheeling, being a brick-maker, was a subject within the Bankrupt Laws. This Cause, chided Sutton o Wheeling, went down for trial, and a verdict was agreed to be taken for the Plaintiff, subjed to the future decision of the Court upon a point of law. The Case was subsequently fully argued before the Court, when, after long and solemn deli beration, their Lordships were' of opinion, that the Bankrupt was not a trader within the meaning of the Ad, at the time of committing the ad of bank. ruptcy, upon which the commission was founded. the Trial, and the subsequent pi oceedings, toge ther with the judgment of the Court, we have fully deported in forme' Papers This commission, there fore, became supersedable, and the present applica tion, under all these circumstances, was made. 'l'he Learned Counsel, tnerefore, contended, the Pe titioning Creditor having had his remedy at law, and haying taken that remedy, in the first instance, by arresting the Bankrupt, did, without an reason, • hat with a malicious and hostile intention, aiimwards sue Out the Commission, and, consequelliby, became liable for any injury the property of the !bankrupt might sustain, by reason of such cornasenson being iioued. At all even% be was bound to know whe ther the party were a trader subjed to the bankrupt laws, before he ventured to sue out Ally COOMISSiOII and should indemnity the Bankrupt Irons any loss he might stiffer by reason of tau not being able to sustain such commission. On these grounds, he submitted, that the Bankrupt was entitled to be in• densnified for all the emu and expeness be had been pet tO, by reason of suing out the commission. a ma* possession of his papers and tide deeds, there CeUld be no question; the commission beteg super seded, he had a right to them also. lifts ATTORSBY fessisaet, on behalf of the As signees, sho were in no way emicerned its suing out the commission, applied to have weir costa against the petitioning creditor. Messrs. Riestateris and Owes. ea behalf of Mr. Sutton, contended, that there was nothing whatever malicious in his coadur2 °in suing out the commis sion. The Bankrupt was uldehad to him in a sum of money considerably pane than entitled him to become a petitioning creditor, and having actually committed an ad of bankruptcy previsni. to that time, he conceived be mignt become insolvent, and therefore Mr. Sutton did obtain t .is coin mission; on these and other grounds they contended, that he was justified, in the first instance, in toe proceedings he lied resorted to; and however he might have ailed afterwards, through mistake (which was even a matter of doubt in a court of law tut some time), be could not be liable to all the ilankrupt's costs and espences. The Loki) Caancattost, having taken a retro sped of all the proceedings in this ease. And the nature of the present application, observe.i, that, whatever might have been the motive of Mr. Sut ton, in suing out this commission, nothing of ma lice could possibly be attributable to him; tor, from the long time the Judges of the Court of King's Bench took to deliberate upon this question, and use doubts which had arisen in the course of their pro ceedings, it was evident the circumstance of die Bankrupt's being a trade within the meaning of tho Aft, was, at least for a time, doubtful. &ski*, he had committed a decided aft of bankruptcy ; and Mr. Sutton's demand constituted a good petition ing creditor's debt. His Lordship, therefore, 'bought the charge of maliciously suing out the Commission. upon those grounds, was unfounded.— At the same time, his Lordship observed, that Mr. Sutton had his remedy at Common Law, and had s , far afted upon it, is to cause the Bankrupt to to arrested; he might have recovered his debt er ica:sally is that way, without resorting to a Corn renssion of Bankruptcy ; and in such a case, the Court would look very narrowly into the subject. A person, with such a remedy in his power, should be well satisfied, that he could swum a Commis sion of Bankruptcy, before he ventured to sue one out, and most unquestionably he had a right to indemnify the ratty against such a Commission.— .n•he &mute of Utoucester his Lordship considered one of the hest and most beneficial in the known law of the land ; and he iho ill go back to the mast ancient law upon this suisjed. Nothing was SO ealuable in the law, as the settled and positive rules by which all Courts of Justice are re gulated. Anti he wished it to be understood, as the decided and settled principle and rule of law, that all persons isopleaded into Court, should be indemnified. He meant to lay down this, not only in the present case, but every other ease of a similar nature. The great and growing evil which so much affeteed this biotic.% acid was of late years the cause of so much controversy and litigation, was the difference between the costa out of pocket, and the taxed costs ; and his Lordship wished some established rule could be laid down upon this sub ject also. Upon the whale of the present cue, he felt that the but mode of distributing Justice to aid 1 4 1 3 V. • ' . , .. .. pieties, Would be: feteilio the Matter to an_ _ The necessary - osta andidtarges the Bankrupt was to by reason of wing oat the Conimisition and t____ the same, when so ascertained, s h ou ld be paid by the Petitioning Croslitur, as also the costs of the Assignees, who, undoubtedly, wore retitled to their expeoces.

He had 'been led into those prat:lice' from his ridiculous' notions of appearing fashionable in dress. and keeping bad company. %Warn Eyling, of No. 51, Bank-sine, South wark. stated, that on Thursday evening, between sit and seten . O'clock, as he was going,Along the road from Hampstead to Highgate, in a single horse chaise,, a:companied by a Lady, he was stop ped by a man on horseback, whom he was positive was the Prisoner; ' who, when he stopped •him, called to him to surrender ; and, at the Name time, presented a pistol to his breast : this rather alarmed him, but he could not think the Prisoner in earnest, being a mere boy, and therefore asked him what he meant ? the Prisoner replied, " Your money imme diately," which induced the witsess to take out of his pocket his canvas bag, containing two one pound bank notes, a seven shillings piece, and two dollars, and deliver it to the Prisoner ; but when the Prisoner took it, he said. he was a very poor young man, and that he had no money to pay his way on the road ; the Prisoner then gave him back one of the dollars and the bag, to pay his expences upon the road. William Tay. of Fryer Barnett, - farmer, said. that on Thursday evening, a little before seven o'clock, being at the Gatehouse, at Highgate, a Mr. Hamilton came to him there, in a single horse chaise, with a lady in his company, .sad said he had been attempted to be robbed in doe-Caen Wood lane, leading from Hampstead to Hlglii ate ; upon' which he, with a gentleman of the dart* of 'Bass, ' went on horseback, with ail ponible speed, in pur suit of the robber ; and in Collin • Deep-lisue. near Hendon, they overtook the Prisoner. who was riding very slowly towards the Edgware.road, in company ..vith a livery servant, William Enter, servant to Capt. Cox ; and judging from the de scription he received froM Mr. Hamilton of the robber. he had no doubt of the Prisoner being the • men ; he stopped him, and told him of ho suspi; chins. The Prisoner made some resistance, and told the Witness be had no right to stop him on the highway ; but he persisted, took him into custody, and proceeded to search him, when he found two loaded pistols is his coat pockets. Wm. Bridgen, one of the horse patrol, belong ing to the Office, stated, that having heard of the,' robbery, he went in pursuit- of -the robber, and came up to bim, just as the last witness was be; ginniig to search him ; he finished it; and founi in the inside of his pintaloons, near the knee. a metal watch ; in his pockets, a purse, contain ing two one-pound Bank Notes, a dollar, and six pence ; a smelling-bottle, filled with gunpowder; a leaden bullet, and various other articles. As he was bringing him from the House of Cor rection, yesterday morning, the Prisoner told him, he took the watch found upon him, together with three seven shillings pieces, from a gentleman, in a lane near Barnet, on Monday or Tuesday after noon last, about three o'clock. He confessed, that he had stopped two women, at the same time, in that neighbourhood. but that he did not rob them of any thing. He also acknowledged bavin stopped • lady and gentleman. in a chaise, ill. evening, in a lane near Lord bffaadarsell. whom he took the two one-pound Dab on him, two seven-shillin pima, aitiffeeMeolillie 1 1, 1 but returned them fi sauts. ve .

The Macrsvastes committed him for further examination until Monday next. The Prisoner was dressed in a black coat and waistcoat, blue pantaloons and boots, and wore a Belcher handkerchief.
