Mr. HART stated this to be an application on the part of the assignees in the bankruptcy of Wright, praying the Court to direct certain lalas of costs delivered in by Mr. Stokes, the solicitor formerly employed by the bankrupt, to he sent back to the proper °Meer, for the purpose of being taxed. The first bill amounted to the sum of 13291., and contained items of charge for business done from the year 1306 to the year 1810, including mil the costs of the *Mit against CAL ‘Vardle, add the rx- r pence of defending the indictment for a eonspiriley, preferred by that gentleman against the ban krupt, his brother; and Mrs. M.A.Clarke. There had been an open debtor and creditor aceount between the parties ; and Mr. Stokes, having 'received the money recovered by judgment at law-bn behalf of Mr.lVright, intimated that this was a very proper opportunity of a djusting the' balance, which he stated to b e 8981. in his own favour, and which world leave a surplus due to Mr. Wright of 5291. This surplus Mr. Wright received, and certainly acquiesced in this arrangement, which could nut howeyer be regarded as any thing like the settle ment of a joint debtor and creditor account. His Lordship would observe that many of the charge's were unreasonable Mr. Wright beeline a bank• rupt about a year and a half afterwards, during which interval anothei hill 'of costs was incurred. Ile trusted that the Court would think these 'charges ought to be investigated, and that the assignees stood precisely in the situation of the bankrupt. Mr..GIabLESTONS, on the lathe able, tlwe i ft on the embarrassed situation of the bankrupt at the time of the pretended settlement of the first ac count, when there 'were about 30 actions in corn mencement against him, and he must necessarily have been entirely 'in the hands tif Mr. Stokes. Sir 8, RoMILLY opposed the application, a's a most extraordinary Attempt 10 open an account which bad been settled above five years and it half ago. There was no averment in the peti lion that either fraud or error had taken plate ; and on eXamining the items referred to as in stances 'of exorbitant charge, they either ap peared to be nothing more than a Mnilerate re muneration for the solicitor's labottr, or tnoney actually expended by him by the Order or withithe approbation of Mr.Wrigbt:, Mr. Stokes bad gone through a great deal of laborious business on. be half of Mr..
