RISTRR DISTRICT COURT OF RANICRrI-ruY.

TUESDAY, August 25.—(Before Mr.
Andrews.)

Be Joseph Redwood, veterinary surgeon, Charminster,
Dorset. —This was an application for order of discharge.
Mr. Clarke appeared for the bankrupt.
Mr. Clarke amid he wished to make an application to
his Honor for the bankrupt's discharge under the
160th clause of the Act of Parliament. He (111 r. Clarke)
appeared there for the assignees and the bankrupt as
wtll, the assignees being consenting parties. The docu-
ment he held in his hand showed that all the principal
creditors had consented to an arrangement as to the
t of their debts; and the money was now waiting
payment
to go and receive it. He believed that Mr.
Bennett was the only creditor of any importance who
disputed the arrangements, and he believed that that
gentleman had been paid all his private debts. Ti.
only outstanding disputes were between Mr. Bennett ,
and the bankrupt. There was, at a previous meeting,
some question as to the removal of • whip, saddle, and
bridle' and two or three articles of that description,
which the bankrupt had taken Some short time previous.
There was also an appeal from his Honor's decision
not to refuse the bankrupt a oertifioate altogether.
His Honor : And that was oonfirniwil, with an intima-
tion by the Court above—widish he did not feel justified
li. doing without sash as —that he might allow
the bankrupt protedion if he thought proper.
Mr. Clarke farther went on to state that since that
time Mr. Bennett had had all the particulars connected
with the partnership. The joint estates, it had been
agreed, should be set aside for the joint debtors; and
subsequently his Honor made an orderthat there should
lw set out what amount belonged to the joint creditors,
and what belonged to the separate creditors. That
rested entirely with Mr. Bennett. With regard to the
private debts, the bankrupt had been making every
effort to pay his creditors. The bankrupt would ta
his Honor who tbe creditors were who had refused to
receive the amounts.

Mr. Piths said he now happened lobe in Court hyena..
dent • but he had born previously engaged in the case,
and h knew something of it. There was • sum of tr,o
ordered to be paid to • poor Christ Church boy, which
had been handed to the bankrupt as a premium, and
he did not believe that that amount had been paid yet.
His Honor : That Iris • joint debt I presume?
Mr. Clark*: No, Sir. The bankrupt was esceedingly
anxious that that claim should be settled; and he
believed the money remained in the hands of the
&rico at this moment.
Honor; Who has the money ?
Mr. Clarke: The money Is in the hands of the official
assignee. He believed that Mr. Walker had plowed the
sum no that Cromwell should be paid.
His Honor: Hut you cannot get it except through Mr.
Bennett.
_ . . . . . . .

Mr. Clarke : An action might be brought against
Bennett for the recovery of the money.
Mr. Pitts All that I want is to get the cash for this
poor Christ Church boy. The boy had been apprenticed
about six months prior to the bankruptcy, and EGO had
been paid as premium. lam very desirous to get the
money for that poor boy.
Yr. Clarke: The bankrupt is endeavouring to arrange
It, and I have no doubt it will be.
lenainp (for Mr. Hirisel, the official assignee) :
The only thing the official easignee can do is to pay
over the money to Mr. Bennett on the production of the
receipts.
His Honor said it was clearly very hard for the boy.
He wu strictly • creditor ; but if the money in question
had not been pied to the separate creditors, hot had
been handed over to the official assignee, he would have
been bound to have paid the boy.
Mr. Clarke: The claim was directed to be paid in

'Ns Bankrupt; Mr. Creswell's eon has been with me
six months ; and he is coming again with me in October
next. He has been 000 seesiin at college. I have given
him all the Instruction Loan.
Mr. Pitt.: Will that enable him to pus the veterinary
college without farther Instruction?
Bankrupt The boy haa been two years with Yr.
Bailey, at Leicester; and he is going to return with me
for improvement at his own request.
Is reply to Yr. Clarke,
The Bankrupt stated that he had oatialed all his
creditors under his private estate, except three or four.
The money was now waiting for them at Mr. Andrews'
office in Dorchester. The parties, he believed, had had
notice that the money was there.
His Honor: Then really there is no one opposing
here to-day?
Mr. Clarke: I expected to bare men Mr. Bennett here
to-day. He has, however, been paid in full, and has
really no ground of complaint.
His Honor: This is eartaialy a ems which the clause
of the Act of Parliament might be brought into opera.

order of discharge. The discharge must be advertised,
because it may be appealed against, the mune as the last
order.

accordingly nese ved his discharge.

"town crier,, who, having given the usual stunnions
with the bell, and his clear and stentorial " Oh, yes,"

—but that she wished to obtain one. It appears that
the lady in question met a gentleman in the bazaar held
for the benefit of the Wesleyan Chapel Fund. The
manners and personal appearance of the agreeable manners
pleased the lady that she desired a more
private and prolonged interview, and being ignorant of
the name arid eddrees of the gentleman, she celled to
her aid the town crier to announce to the loved one that
his preeeno was requested on the Parade between the
hours of eight and nine p.m.
