This was an applicatioc for the debarip of Holoeel
Waugh from Wnitenrosa-street Prison, *bon be was
detsined on • capias for (100,000. at Ike sel of the
m•nager of the London and Esi.tere Beak. It
will be recollected that Colonel Waugh bed war
rendered to his bankruptcy, and an owlet wide
for his release on finding two mediae in £2,000
each and him. If in £4OOO. Hence the present appli-
cation to obtain his rekaea without bail.

Mr. Dodgeon appeared for Colonel Waugh, and Mr.
Buller, for the official managers of the Esetern Bank.
Mr. Dodgson aubinitted that under the 182nd motion
of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act of 1844, Colonel
Waugh was entitled to his discharge on the ground
that a proof had been tend-red and • claim entered on
the proceedings in bankruptcy at the instance of the
parties who now detained him in prison. Colette'
W•ugh was made bankrupt in 1857, and in 1868 the
offici.l manager of the bank sought to prove for
£254.000, hut it was rejected on the ground that
£1.40.000 wee an illegal debt, as there had not been the
required capital as direcoad by the Act in the bank.
The claim wax reduced to £50.003, and of that suin
11:14,000 we, entered as a claim on the promedinga
That claim was sufficient to bring the atm under the
section quoted, and was relied upon as conclusive to
obtain the dim harps of the bankrupt.
Mr. Justice Keating asked whether he was to under.
stand that the object of the.preeent application was to
obtain an order of aloha/es from the camas for £.30.000.
Mr. Dodpon said that was precisely his application,
and on the 182 action be epprehendirl that his
lordship would bare no difficulty in the matter. A
claim had been called in 1858, and in March last •
espies was issued, no which Colonel Waugh had been
emoted, and en. now iletained in prison.
His Lordship observed that be wea in fact, being
asked to rescind the order of Mr. Justice Blackburn,
who had granted the copies.
Mr. Hodgson said it might be so In effect, but the
anode of procedure was pointed out by the particular
section, both as to proceedings before • claim made and
enbeequeut prooriedings. He asked the Court to order
the minima.
Mr. lichen contended that his learned friend had put
• very different con.traction on the Necton than the
one intended by the Legislature. It waaneeer intended
to .I...prier. • ••••.lit.• of • rem...-el 7 oueleee Le eameeeted
I. esiablishlng his claim to a dividend. A claim for
£14,000 had been merely entered. but the claim on
which the espies had been untied wai,for £50,000 Surely
deeielon of Me. Cominisaioner Beane in 1869 on the
claim was not Anal. The Court of Bankruptcy was not
the supreme court in the country.
Mr. Dodgems said there might bare been an appeal to
the Lords Jostles'; but the parties had acquiesced in
the judgment.
Mr. Bull,. urged upon his lordship that the objeetion
did not apply to the present ow, and that the eummons
seat be itemise...rd.
Mr. Justice Keating said his present impression warn
iqrainst the application, but he would consider the Act
and the authoriime cited. The amount was • very
large one C 50,010, to diseharge from.
Mr. Lli;dgeon ronarkerl that Colonel Waugh had been
in prison since March, and had applied for protection.
A gmoleumn, named Wentworth, f min the office of
llesars. Buechel', on the psrt of the official manager,
mentioned that Mr. Commisiiioner Holroyd would not
grant protection without bail in £2,000 each.
Hi. Lordship deferre I juignient.

On Tuesday, soon after Mr. Justice Heating had
taken his seat, a gentleman named King salted
his lord-hip whether be had come to a duoi-ion in
the no.. of Colonel Waugh, in which an epplicacion was
made no Monday to discharge him out of eustody of the
Blieriff of Middlesex, at to a capias to hold to bail for
£lO,OOO by the official manager of the Landon and
&Meru Banking Cimpany. His lordship than said be
bad carefully considered the matter with the stator sod
the authorities cited, and he could only say that be had
bees strengthened in the linpreesion made on him WM
this was not. cam in which he ought to interfere.-116
lordship indorsed the summons as dismissed with amts.
—My Mita decision Colonel Waugh mast either And bail
as directed by Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, not for his
protection, but for his releaai, or remain in custody
until the oompletios of his cam, and his Weinberg's by
operation of law.
