REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ETBlrle-MONEYS. - • the H The report of the select committee- of oust) of Commons ' " a ppointed to inquire into the receipt, issue, and audit of public moneys in the Exchequer, the Pay-office, and the Audit Department; was issued yesterday, together with the proceedings of the committee, and an appendix, containing ; among other valuable matter, a long memorandum on financial control, put in by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The following is a copy of the report Your committee have considered• the evidence and documents collected by the select committee on public, moneys in 1856, which have; been referred to them, as well as further important papers laid before them, which will be found in the appendix ; and they have agreed to submit the following recommendations to the house: j.—EXCHEQUER Issues AND PAYMASTERS' PAYMENTS. Your committee are satisfied, from the evidence taken :before them,', that the consolidation of the pay depart ments has been attended with public benefit ; that it has diminished the balances left in the hands of the public accountants to the Crown ; that it has increased - the security of the public money, and promoted economy ; and that the regulation which requires the Paymaster- General to make all his payments from a single cash balance has been attended with beneficial results. As' the issue of money from the Exchequer in amounts sufficient to maintain a constant balance in the hands of the Paymaster, on each separate grant or head of service, `over and above the balances in the Exchequer at the credit of such grants and services,. would entirely de- . feat these objects, your committee recommend that issues Irom the Exchequer shall be made in order to adjust the payments under every head of service;: by placing each in credit in the books of ,the paymaster as frequently as possible, consistently with , retaining the smallest cash balance, and that suchen adjustment shall be completely made at least at the cloie of everynionth 'that the pay- . master should be required to make up for the commis sioners of audit accounts to the end of every month, showing the balances for or against every head of ser vice ; and that any provision of the Exchequer Regula; tion Act of 1834 which may appear to be at variance with this mode of conducting tho public payments should be repealed. . 0, • Your committee are of opinion that the Paymaster- General should cease to be a political officer, discharging his duties by deputy ; and that be sjipuld become the acting and efficient bead of the' Psy-offiee; performing his duties in person. ' 2.-PAYMENTS OF THE GROSS REVENIIi TO TEE , EXCHEQUER. Daring the progrers of the inquiries of the cbmmittee of 1856, an act was passed (19 and 20 Vie., cap. 59) for removing from the gross revenues certain ouperannaa- Cons and other charges which had remained payable out of those revenues after the passing of the. Act 17 and - I8 Vic., cap. 94, under which the charges,of collecting the revenue and various other expenses were transferred_ to the annual estimates, or placed on the Consolidated Fund. With the exception of the Charges on the land revenues of the Crown, the net . reneiptif of which are only payable to the Consolidated Fund under the Act . 10 Geo. IV., cap. 50, see. 113, and under the 'Act 1 - I%nd:2 - Vic., fur the settlement of the "Civil List, the only payments which can• now be legally charged upon the public revenues are drawbacks bounties, repay means, and , discounts. Although your committee have no reason for believing that any expenses have been defrayed out of those revenues in their progress to the Exchequer, which were, not." legally, chargeable ,thereon, they are nevertheless of opinion that it is , nsential to a proper Parliamentary control of the public, money that the law should distinctly require that the whole revenue, after providing' for thee() charges, should be paid to the Con solidated-Fund, from which it cannot be issued without Parliamentary sanction ; and with regard to the charges of the land revenues, the committee are'of' opinion, un less some constitutional difficulty should be involved in the change, these charges should be brought under the same Parliamentary control, sad under. the lirystem of: votes for expenditore, as the charges respecting the other branches of public revenue. They recommend that the pay,tnents of revenue should, as far as practicable, he paid direct into : the Exchequer, and that those payments made,into the Pay-office should be transferred to the &elute:lei account with as little delay as may 'be. Consistent with 'the' public Service. They further recommend that moneys - in deposit in the Pay-office should be carried td 'separate account at the Bank—as they neitherlorm part of the public revenue; nor are voted by Parliament-as ways and means. The payments may still be made through . the general drawing account. A statement of the receipts and payments included in this deposit account ought annually to be laid before Parliament. IcieNcY.Biees. In the present state of the law (57 Geo. 3, c. 48), it is necessary that Exchequer Bills (deficiency) should- be issued to the full extent of the deficiency which may appear on making up the account of the income and charge of the Consolidated Fund to the close of the:quar ter, although it constantly happens that the growing produce of that fund for the subsequent quarter is suffi cient to meet all charges without the aid of deficiency bills. Under such circumstances the Exchequer bills are issued to the Bank, and aro paid off on the same day ; but although this practice obviates the charge f)r inte rest on these advances, the money is nevertheless bor rowed from the Bank when the public service does net require the loan. Your committee therefore recommend that whenever the deficiency of the Consolidated Fund for the quarter, or any part thereof, can be directly provided out of the growing produce of the fund for the following quarter, the issue should be made directly oat of the public tat ance without the aid of a loan, nominal or otherwise rom the Bank. Your committee further recommend that -when actual, advances by the Bank become necessary, either for Con solidated Fund Services, or for supply services, theamount should be plaoed to the Exchequer account without an issue of Exchequer bilks, but upon a requisition to the Bank by th e C omp t ro ll er of the Exchequer, and that it be issued from the Exchequer account by the Exchequer to the public service ai at present.; also that the advances should be treated as book debts, and be subject to all the existing provisions of the law as to redemption. In calculating the interest to be paid on deficienVy bills, your committee observe that the amount of Exohe. quer credits undrawn, and the balance at the Bank to the Paymaster's account, ate not taken into considera, tion it would be of advantage if these sums were consi dsced as well as the Exchequer account ; but your oom mitt.es abstaie. from making any positive recommendation on the snhject, as the arrangements subsisting between , the Bank of England, and the Government must necessa rily come into consideration in .onn ction with the Bank Act of - 18 - 44, now under the review of Parliament. . 4.—Exclmozn Blue (SUPPLY). A vote in supply is taken every year to pay off all outstanding Exchequer bills; and ways and means id Exchequer bills are granted to provide for such payment. The effect of this arrangement is, that the bills of the current year are issued to pay off the bills of the past year, except in those' cases in which holders demand pay ment in money. It has been shown to 'the committee that this annual renewal of -Ex..thesiner bills is attended With trobble and inconvenience to holders, and with ex pense and risk to Ow public ; and, moreover, that the Payment of Exchequer bills in Toney outcf the ways and means granted for army, navy, and other supply services lead.' to complicated adjustments between the m eley grant s and the Exchequer bill grants of ways and means which it apwars desirable to avoid. As a security to holders, Exchequer bills charged on aids or supplies - may after the expiration of 12 months from their respective dates, be tendered in payment of any of the public re venues, aids, taxes, or supplies —a regulation which has the effect of applying revenue in its progress to the Ex chequer to the'payment of debt. Your committee are of opinion that the law, as regards thes e E xc h e qu er hill s , may be simplified; they have therefore to propose lf!t. That the principal of Exchequer tills he redeemable out of the Consolidated Fund in thosecases in w hi c h th e ' 'holders can *demand 'payment of their bills in money, or pay them in for taxes under existing regulations ; and that the interest be payable also out of the Consolidatid' Find. • 2d. That the Government be empowered, as at present. to hum new bills in lieu of those which may be paid off in money, the proceeds of such bale, however, to be Owed to the credit of the Consolidated Fund. . 3d. That the annual renewal of Exchequer bills be discontinued, the bi la running on from year to year, with the consent of the holders, 'until cal!ed in for re n ewal ; that the rate of interest be advertised annually, and that the bills be issued with coupons for the annual interest. 5 ci .

AUDITE,D ACCOUNig . PATZIA 4 MUT. The ,coileurtent ijulik sp:ktiPilition otecii,, first applied to the eX,pendktilre of 'Od e grants f or na i a l vices in 18 . e, and snhieg;iititly extended to,the iseveral army grants,, was a new seenrity introCo cad for ela‘uring the strict appropriation'of the grants' of, Partiarnent: was intended to limit the discretion cf - thn respotsiblu departments of the executive government in which it TliE SHIN, was establisheti, Jut.-to_. secure a revision of their E C 'mints by an independent authority, invested with Sufficient powerCof investigation, to detect any misap- . Ocation :of- the votes, -, or any deviation from the appropriation sancti , ,ned by - Parliament.: This -check now applies to the naval and military expenditure, and is regulate& by the provisions of an act (9 .and 10.Vict., c. 92) passed in - 1846 ; also to . the expenditure of the offices of Woods and .Forests, and Public Works . ; and the Commissioners 'of Audit transmit annually to, the Treasury, for presentation to,the House of Coramona, accounts of naval and military expenditure, 'compared with the grants, accompanied by reports, in which they direct attention to every departure from the provisions of the Appropriation Act: Your committee-recommend that this important check - upon the application of the public money be extended to the accounts of the income and expenditure kept at the Treasury, to the accounts of the revenue departments, and to' the various; accounts comprising the expenditure of the votes for civil services, including civil-contingencies. ' Fdr the latter service two accounts should be presented ; one showing-the final payments charged against the votefor civil contingencies, and the'other showing; a balanced account of the trans actions of the 'year; including the outstanding advances at the Close of theyear, and the balance unissued brought down to the following year. These accounts were pre sented for the past year along with the estimate for civil contingencies for the current year. Your committee are else; of opinion that the whole of these accounts, finally audited, should be prevented to Parliament before the close of the year succeeding that to which they relate: In order to strengthen the check upon the Government in regard to•issues of money,- for any service whatever in excess of the sum toted-by Parliament, your committee recommend that all payments of the Paymaster-General shaitbe checked from day -to day, in the departments in which they are authorised or made, by an officer to be ap pointed by the Commissioners of Audit ; it will be the • duty of this• officer- to fellow . from day'to day the appro-• priation of every payment to its proper account, and to report immediately to the commissioners any excess of the vote sanctioned- by Parliament, or other irregularity. Alid your committee-further recommend that these audited accounts be annually Submitted to the revision -1 of a committee of the House 'of Commens, to be nomi nated by the Speaker.' It is desirable that an annual aceount of all guaranteed loans, - including the pays ents • made, and the arrears, if any,- due to the Consolidated Fend, 'shall•be presented to this committee',' and ,that they :dcr report thereon specially to the house. - -'- Your committee suggest that the Audit Board sh,ould no longer transmit-throug-h the Treasury those acconnts which they are bound ,to lay before Parliament, but shoUld communicate them direct, and that the apipro priation and inspection of army and navy accounts; the ' selection of - officers for the respective duties, theit re moval or die - missal,' shoUld' rest entirely with the. Audit Lard. • ' - , Your committee has recommended a large extension of the duties and powers of the. Board of Audit, If these suggeStiope be, adopted, it will be . neoe.ssary that the composition and relative position of this beard, as a great department,of the _ State, ; . should be I: . ecoosidered by the Executive Government. The Boar ded Audit is responsible to Parliament alone, and the station and emoluments of the person at the head of it should be equal to the importance of the .duties to be performed, and not second in rank to any of the permanent officers presiding over other principal, departments. 7:—PHINCIPLE UPON . WHICH THE VOTES. POE CIVIL L O_N _LI 0 N, FREEDOM-01?. .THEE.. PRESS IN INDIA. (From the Times.). • , As it was never imagined- that India was to be governed precisely as we govetn ourselves, So it was never supposed that the Press stood on the same ground there as at home.. The liberty of the Press has in this country been exalted to the rank of a sacred prilaciple, the Palladium of the Constitution, an inherited right, the safeguard of personal freedom, and the only check upon political tyranny and offi cial abuse. These are indefinite and absolute expres sions, but they who employ them have an honest and wholesome conviction that a, free Press is necessary to a fres State, and that there is some thing intrinsically honourable and beneficial in a state of society in which everybody may,publisb, within reasonable limits, his belief and his opinions. f: The freedom of the Press is, however, a practical question. We maintain it on such practical and assignable grounds as that it throws continual light on the administration of public affairs; 'on the proceedings of Official personages; and the working of the whole system ; that it gives a vent to feelings which might otherwise smoulder in a more malignant form.; that, on the other band, it provides a check for its own excessesin the constant opportunity of reply - and contradiction, and the disgust which calumny and caliehood will always excite in the mind of a free and generous people. Such a defence is truer as far as it applies to such a State and such a people. We believe that, in matter of fact it is impossible for the Press of this country to do any amount of mischief at all to be compared with the evils certain to ensue on a withdrawal of this check. The Press cannot -damage a good- measure ; it cannot overthrow a good- Government ; it cannot destroy a well grounded reputatlon. The least eymptorn of a malicious design to attain these ends is certain to recoil on the authors. 'These things it catinoti do, though they are quite within the ordinary scope of public men, , and are the frequent aims of parties and politicians. The public at large are far more ready to accept the rhetorical exaggerations of some enthusiast or partisan :on ,a platform, ,of some adventurer or rival in the Senate, than of the . nameless writer who sits down to-a dispa,ssionato -discussion of persons and things. The_ " we". to; which some alarmists have attached so tremendous an influence, and which it has been proposed to rob of its dark terrors and clothe with some 'vulgar ira -personation, . is, perhaps, the most cautious awl scrupulous writer of the day. In the absence of a great name the pen is found to appeal to facts and considerations within everybody's knowledge, and reach,. and to go no further than the public is pre pared to go with it. Once it transgresses, once it aims to -be an independent authority and an .organ of mischief, it finds everybody's hand turned against ' it, and it has to defend its ground against a' thou sand writers and talkers only teo glad to find a common butt for their invective. ' ' _ _ For the truth of these remarks on the real impo tence of a frea. Press in a free country for any evil purpose we need only refer to the fict that none use it f o freely as they who in moments of .pettu , - lance have, thought fit, to denounce it. It is a matter of frequent occurrence for men wha but the other day were abusing the newspapers, and putting anonymous writing on a par with assassination, to make the freest use of these or other columns, and, itS often as not, find by their own, ext•erience'that it is no easy matter so to write as 'to incur neither contradiction nor .rehuke: These are practical considerations, a,nd they apply to_tngland,, but not to India. Thong,h our geverni went of that country,, is infinitely more conducive to happiness, freedom, and elevaion than' any government that its farmer rulers or the people themselves ever devised, yet-it cannot be called self-government or constitutional in the same sense as ours. In fact, ludia cannot govern itself; it never ; and the . fiat step in' the attempt would be a' war ' of 'extermination between Ma homedan and _Riede°, .then between' the dif ferent sects of the former creed. So we govern India, and impartial author:ties.have said there is no country in the world so well governed as India, and that England herself cannot exhibit such proofs of government at honie as can be 'shown in her great dependency. We are the lords of India, and hold the balance of power between innumerable races, religions, dynasties, laws, and pretensions.of all sorts. In. doing this we have to appeal to the gratitude, the fear, and respect of two hundred millions of people,. who are, . perhaps,' the simplest , and most credulous on the earth. It is the very soil of delusion. The religion of the vast majority` is not merely an ancient mythology, believed be cause it is there, but , a living source of the most preposterous inventions., 'lndeed, there is hardly anything that the Hi:1(10es may not be made to believe. They will accept with equal facility, on any or no authority, and without the least investi gation, a tale of private scandal, a libel upon a Go vernment, an astounding miracle, a , new revelation, the deification of a plant, a stream, or a stone, a prophecy, the decline of a dynasty. or the decay of a godhead, a .curse, a code of morality, or anything whatever, so long as the appeal is made directly to the faith 2 and reason be carefully -putout of the question. All that is spontang )us in the social sys tem of the Ilindoo,s is of the most imaginative and irrational character. . From the highest:-Rajah t.) the lowest mendicant they yield their fait)), their conscience, their purse, and their lives to the leader who makes the most extravagant demands upon them. Accordingly for themselves, and among themselves, they altogether eschew freedom of discussion. As for the Mahomedans, they know no such thing as ,libprty, and can have as little to do with a free Pros as with, a .House of Commons. In such a population, then, there - are wanting those checks which we have admitted to be necessary, and which we -have- averted in 'our own instance. Our 'direct hold upon India is our military syStem, and the chief Material of that system is a native soldiery. As it is the most powerful part of the people, so, it is the most in formed, the most gregarious, the least occupied, and the most liable to have a stock of grievances against us. If it is assured by designing persons in a tone of authority that we are planning to a. 8 t,roy caste by the secret use of, forbidden materials ; that we , are preparing to take the Sepoy to the ends. of the earth ; or that this 'is the prophetic period of dor - 1 expulsion, it will most' probably believee - what it is told. It' may never sed the contradiction or hray-. not credit it. At all events, it is no t coinpetent to detect the imposture, and cmisequently has not the requisite safeguard against the abuses of a free Press. Such are the considerations that have determined --indeeti, we may, say compelled,. the, ,Indian Go vernment to restrict for the pre , ent the, liberty of the Press. It does not by any means , give up the principle, and it expressly' reserves ' the grounds upon which a free. Press was given to India, now twenty-two years ago. That Act was avowedlyan experimenty or temporary concession, made with the full consciousness that it might be abuSed, and that circumstances might arise to compel its suspension. The.present Act of Council; there fore; is, happily, not retrogressive, and merely implies that an occasion has come. such as was . contemplated by the authors of the Act of 1833. When It is found that the native journals pub• lished in Hindostanee and PerSian contain, besides - theincendiarrproclamation known to our readers, the most lavish abuse of the Government and its agents, promises of immediate ema,ncipation„a,nd directions to the native army how to further that object, it becomes a matter of common sense and obvious necessity to prevent ,the Preis from being the organ of rebellion.• That is all that is intended. The only difficulty of the question is its Learing on, the Anglo-Indian prom - To the home imagina tion there it a certain necessary connex'on betwe n the English language and liberty of speech. But. ,everywhere and in ,every native regiment there 'dice Sepoys whorealEnglishi ',schools where English is taught, and native officials quite ready and corafie-, tent to translate sedition into any Indian•language that may answer the purpose. In file', there ; are two journals at Calcutta, .published and edited by : natives in the-Engli .th.language, and these journals have contributed their share to the insaireotion. Practically :it 'Matters little, or nothing, whether dangerous argon:tents, treasonable counsels, and useful information are given in English or in any native tongue, or whether the publishers be Eng-- fish er Indian. In the present critical situation -of the Indian Goverbniefit tt Must lakea plain, not to say a military,, ,view of de' wrest : fon., and aitence not only the mutineer, iii ails, but', the *rper , who blows the blast of war.:. The-Indian Gyvernment have carried ont.the pre.sent: measure with great - moderation. It would be mere pedantry ; then, to ascribe- to .it a settled .design on the.press, or on tITOse "principles of liberty' which we all Cherish 'at horne'.'"-What.cortv,e-r_. it-mttyliave to take for the future is a matter for further cpnsidentiop.

SERVICES SHOULD BE TAKEN. The difficulty which has hitherto prevepted the ex tension, of the principles .of , account ex-el apprepriation check applied to the naval and military accounts to the accounts of expenditure for civil services, has arisen from the delay which takes place in Parliament,in voting the estimates, for civil services. These votes being passed generally, late in the session, it has been considered im possible to adopt the principle applied to the naval and military grants, of providing puly for the 'payments to be ; made in the financial year, Your committee; are of opinion that this difficulty. may_ b overcome by taking one aggregate vote, upon account, for such civil ser: vices as have already been sanctioned. by Parliament id the previous session ; and in order to facilitate this practice, it is recomme - .ded that all salaries "or the last q !tarter shall be payable on the 31st March in each year. The amounts thus made applicable to each separate vote for civil - services should be stated in a schedule, and deducted from.the amunts to ha voted to complete the' grants for the year. A cours e .. similar to this ha s b een a d op t e d i n t h e present year, except . ,that the votes have not been limited to the provision required for meeting the payments to be made in the year. . . Under this arrangement, the. sec :ants could be closed soon"-after the termination .ef.. the year for aIL home ser . vices ; and as regards payments made abroad, imme diately on receipt of the accounts of payments made to the 31st March, all unexpended balances should he surrendered; and grants unapplied, but required for the . censpletion of the services to which they had been isp-' priated, should be revoted. B.—THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS OF INCOME AND EXPENDI TURE TO BE FOUNDED , ON ACTUAL - RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS. his provided by the Act 1Q Geo. IV., c. 27, that, for the purpoee of ascertaining the annual amount of surplus revenue, the Treasury E hall cause t-, be prepared, after - theexpiration of each qua:tr, au annual account, showing the actual revenue and cxpenditure of the United King dom, in the four quarters for the whole year imme diately preceding such quarter-days respectively, according to the actual receipt and issue of moneys at the Exchequer ; and on the 24th section of the Exchequer Act (4 Will. IV. c. 14) requires -that the expenditure in such account, so far si it relates to Great Britain, shall be made up from the ,credits granted to the Exchfuer. Yourscommittee are satisfied from the evidence taken befOre thew, that an account. of, Beebe - yak credits cannot represent a true account of expendi ture ; they therefore ' recommend that the basis of the account 'should be the actual payment pf the several payinasters to whoin tboSe credite are granted: 9. , --REGULATION 'OF THE TREASURY CIiEST FUND. Full information as to the mature of this fund, and the steps taken to t ring it under proper regulations will be found in.the Appendix, No. 3, to the Report of the Com mittee, in 1846, pp, 589 to 61?. This fund was formerly known as, "Army Extraordinaries," and subsequently as the i " Commissariat „Chest Fund." The .object of the fund is to previde the, me an s o f carr yi ng on the public service abroad. Under existing regulations , a royal warrant defines the, objects for which it is to be em ploye4, and prescribei that accounts shall be prepared annually by the Cornmizsioners of Audit, showi ng th e sums paid in and ou t of the‘fund in the financial year, and the assets and liabilities of the fund at tbe close of the year. These accoants have been regularly laid before the Rouse of Commons since the let April, 1846. -Your committee concur in the propriety of the regula tiona under which this fund is administered and the accounte,are.Trepared.; but they recommend that, in stead, og relying on the security of a royal-; warrant far the maintenance e of thteee, regulations, -they. should confirmed, by an Act of.,Pialiaroent. The objects to which 'legislation ih'ould be directed in regard to this lend are the followinie Ist.. TO limit the amount of the balance' to be retained at the e credit of the fund, and to provide that, if it shall at any time 'exceed the' limit,' fixed by law, the surplus shalt be paid to the antiablierated Fund: _ _ _ 2,1. To provide that no final expenditure eball be charged -upon the fatuL! - ' 31. 'Co provide that-the fund shall only be employed for the legitimate. banking operations of the Treasury cbeits, and for advances for public and colonial services, repayable out of votes of Pailiarasnt, or other funds applicable:thereto. 4th. To provide that accounts shall be laid before Parliament every year, showing the cash operations of the fund at home and abroad during the financial year, and the assets and liabilities of the fund at the close of such year. • Your committee are aware that the important and ex tensive changes which they have suggested cannot all be immediately earriedvinto effect ; but they believe .that the continued attention of Parliament and of the Execu. are Government to the subjeot will secure at no distant dataall the objects embraced iu their recommendations.

The case involved an important point in respect to practice and costs. The debtor was served with a writ for 441. on the 28th August. No further proceedings could be' taken under that writ before the 24th of October. To meet this the debtor was also served with a trader debtor summons. Payment of the debt and costs were tendered, minus the cost of the trader debtor sumnagns. It was urged that the debt being under 591. - no adjudication of bank ruptcy could be made, and that the COurt could not allow the costs consequent on this summons. His Honour held that the debtor must pay the costs under both the forms of proceeding, and that although the amount of the debt: was under 501. an a't of bankruptcy would be committed if the claim were not forthwith settled. It follows.that the lay, vacation allows no protec tion• or respite to debtors whera creditors take pro ceedings in this court by summons. - • IN BE TYLER. The b%nkrnpt wa s formerly lessee of the Royal Surrey Gardens. Tbis was a meeting for the choice of a trade assignee. Southby, pyro technist, was appointed. .

Several o editors appeared in person, named Reeves, Bonthron, Ed mist?n, and Porter. . Mr. 'Sggood supplrted. In 1851_ihe' insolvent was di.iaharged under the act. He now owed about 2,0 )01., and had 103 creditors on his present schedule. He had been seven months in prison;' and was in a bad state of health. He had been a lieutenant in the Artill-ry, and, with the exception of two years ended in 1856, when he was in the service of the Great Western Rad way Company, he had been in no business or profession;' - -He had assistance from his friends and was entitled t 2 some reversionary interest.

Mr. Bonthron, a baker, bad a trade bill and cashed a check of a person named White, who was now in Australia. Mr. Edmiston, waterproofer, of 69, Strand, com plained that hesoi an opera glass from him and a waterproof coat ; and the other complainant was a washerwoman. - . On the part of the opposition it was urged that the iniolvent had. pursued a reckless career of ex travagance, and had no reasonable expectation, if he ever had the intention, to pay his numerous creditors. • - - . Mr. Sargood.Made an appeal to the Court on ac count of the insolvent's state of health and the im prisonment he had already suffered. Mr. CommisSioner Murphy said he meant to give a long judgment. It was a case df reckless extra vagance. He found among the debts one for an for his wine. He could not consider the insolvent's state of health so as to prevent him pass ing a long refoand. The learned Cotnroissiener gave a judgrdent of 12 calendar months, remarking that had he not }peen in. ,prison seven month 4 he would have given hitrt 18 months' imprisontneljt.

The bankrupt was a wine merchant, of the Pic :. ; • cactiily Saloon.' This was an examination meeting. Mr. Lucas appeared. , for the petitioning creditor, Mr. Murrough- for. the Assignees, ,and Mr.lLaw ranee for the bankrupt. The, accounts have al ready appeared in. TheStt. ; The bankrupt examined, said--Onthe 23d March .he .gave .a bill of - sale over the whole of his effects at the. Saloon to Messrs. Seale and Ca. Tha consi deration. was a sum of 862/., and he gave a receipt for that ; amount. He. only, 150/, the iiifferenee_b,eing money that he awed before, ,Se ale and Co. did not take possession undepthe bill of sale, but, under a warrant of attorney which. he bad given them orrthe same day that he gave the bill of sale. 'The power of attorney was for the whole .8621: The Coramissioner---Who are Seale and Co. ? Mr. Lucas—The proprietors or.. a loan and'.dis count office who have since -oallei ,theselves banke,themselves Examination continued—He wasin prison at the time of the sale, and the Sheriff got his carent, to sell.: It was six orseven weeks aft-r having given the bill of sale that Seale and Co.• took possession. The bill of sale was not given to protect the pro perty. . He hari resided at Westmorland-vdla, Kensington, with a lady. The furniture. there did not. belong to him, but to the lady. • The furniture had been deposited with ;Mr. Tingdy for 200/.. , and he ,had signed a memorandum, upon permission of the lady, that the, property wag his. The : furniture included a table which,hei had made a present of to the lady on her ; birthday. He bad kept books showing his profi's at the E•aloon, and•he was new attend;ng at the saloon for his brother. Messrs. Seale and Co. had let the premises to his brother, and. he was acting as his servant. Persons were admitted, to, the saloon by .refreshment tickets of In. -6J.' each. The. Commissioner—Are visitors bound to take refreshments The.bankrupt explained that they were required to take the Aicket only a,s a cleAirabla .ragulation. He had. kept bettitig-rooms at Doncaster as-admi nistrator of his father. ; . 12 , Mr. Lucas—Do you mako bets in the ,chafacter of administrator , . Mr. Lawrance subraitted that the learned coun sel rh , litld not make sport of bis client.; and The Commissioner .decided that the question need not be answered. • • Examination of bankrupt continued—The rooms at-Doncaster were carried on by himself and a Mr. Atkins. Had never kept books showing the profits of the rooms. The receipts of. the last races were ordy 575/., not 8001.—it was a bad year. Mr.- Lucas—Have you not taken as much as 113,000/. ? . = _ _ _ 'rho bankrupt—No ; ,he had nob kept books of the receipts, neither had , Atkins that he was aware of. . • Mr: Lucas called the, attention of the Court to the circumstance that,; although the bankrupt had carried on an extensive trade be now appeared with accounts showing only two debtors to his estate. The bankrupt—lt was a ready-money house. ( Laugh t er. ) . . . The bankrupt, , examinedby Mr. Lawrence, said, •he succeeded his father, who had carried on the business for a great many years. He had charged himself with profits 3,000/. during the last two years. The Doncaster 'betting rooms were sup ported 'by subitribers' who paid it. ls. back He ha•l kept a list of the members. It was not neces sary to keep any books beyond this list. Every thing was vouched except the Doncaster business. Mr. Lucas remarked upon the manner in which the• bankrupt's property hid passed to Messrs. Seale awl Co. Mr. Murrough said, it was but just to the bank rupt to state that the a.signe es were of opinion that he had , correctly stated , the position of affairs be tween himself and Messrs. Seale. Mr. Lucas submittal that the property obtained by Messrs. Seale and Co. was recoverable for the creditors generally. The bill of sale given to them wag an act of bankruptcy itself. It had been de cided in the case of Graharn and Chapman, that a bill of sale, part of the consideration for which was a' by-gone debt, was an 'act of bankruptcy. The trade assignee was the bankrupt's own surgeon on a debt part of which was nearly ten years old. The' Commissioner—What is his name ? Mr. Lucas--Robins. The creditor for whom I appear wishes to be allowed to inves'tigate the bank rupt's affairs and to bring an action aga i ns t S ea l e. A meeting is a,.ked at which -Messrs.•Saye and Sale may be examined. The Commissioner--Who did you call them— Sayo and Sole ? - - Mr. Lucas—l was thinking at the moment of Lord Soya and Sale.' I meanfto say Seale and Co. Thera are no ass •ts -wherewith to defray the ex penses - of the meeting or by wlich Mr.,Nathan can be reimbursed: It is the wish of Mr. - Nathan, however, to examine Messrs. Sayc and Sole. I beg your honour's pardon. (Laught-r.) • Mr.-- Lawrance—You ought rather to • ask his Lordship's pardon. • • • Mr. Lucas proceeded . to •urge. that Mr. Robins had overtopped Mr. Nathan in the choice of assig nees, and elected himself to that office. Mr. La,wrance—lt was, unquestionably, a vary fierce contest. Mr. Natba•n tried his strength, and Mr. Robins.beat him. I do not object, at all to your bringing an action on giving an indemnity against costs. Mr. Lawrance proceeded to urge that the a pplication was foreign to th e b us i ness o f - the day • that all the credit Ors who had furnished the bankrupt with either money or goods were per fectly aware of the nature of his business, and that the bankrupt should be allowed to pass his last examination. Mr. Lticas—Seale has get" all the London pro perty ; a person named Wood has got 'all the Don .caster property. The balnkrupt ought, not to be allowed to pass until there has been further inves tigation. Mr. Murrough isaid - the assignees were satisfied that the bankrupt's transactions with Messrs. Seale and Co. were bona fide.' Mr. Seale would attend With great pleasure to be examined. It was not right that 'the assignees should be accused of laxity. They thought that the property could not ba re covered. They had no objection, howeier, to Mr. Nathan prosecuting an action in the names of the official assignee and the trade assignees —whose names must necessarily be used in any action—on: receiving an indemnity. • - Mr. Cannan (the official assignee) said he had the strongest objection .to his name being used in any such action: It was his opinion that nearly the entire value of the property held was in the forni of the goodwill of an infamous trade, and that any action must fail Mr. Lucm—The goodwill is' said to' 'be worth I,BCOY. a-year. Mr. Lawranco .contended that tho case of " Graham.and Chapman" was not analogous to the one before the Court. • The Commi , sioner— , Mr. Canaan objects to the use of his name in the .matter. • • - Mr.. Lucas urge l that, although t hat' was natural enOugh," an official assign6e- Was bound to allow an action in hiS name on redeiving an indemnity. His chent was desiretis by e,'ety ]means in his p jwer to r-c )ver the koperty. Lawrance--44 frien I 4r.

The Commissioner thought that whether the pro perty :had been taken nuclei. 'the bill of sale or under the warrant of attorney was foreign to the ,point: The question was whether th e p ro p ert y h ad b,een diverted from its proper course.' ;He siw no, objection .. to' Mr. Nathan having a meeting at, his own expense fur the examination of Mr. Sqale, and he might employ, li Own solicitor to prosecute the ; inquiry. , -, • ,Lucas—ln. the .xn,eaAtime :the baukrupt's examination..wilb i he, adjourned.
