LYDLINCH. —EXETER COURT OP BANKRUPTCY.
—January 10. —( Before Mr. Commissioner Andrews.)
—Re G. E. Parham, yeoman and timber-dealer,
Lydlinch.—This was an adjourned last examination
and discharge.—Mr. G. Hirtzel appeared (on behalf
of Mr. Terrell, indisposed) for the assignees, and
Mr. Clarke for the bankrupt.—Mx. Hiegel applied
for a further adjournment.—An action had teem
commeneed by the assignees to upset a bill dads,
given by the bankrupt to William Rassiter, hie
father-in-law. The venue had been removed frons
London to Dorchester, and his Honor, at the last
sitting, expressed his intention not to allow the
bankrupt to pass until this trial had come off, whicb
would not be till the 10th March next.—Mr. Clarke
said he did not wish to resist the adjournment.—
His Honor said it was an important case, and one
he oonid not dispose of in the absence of Mr. Terrell,
nor till the action had been tried. The decision in
the action would not annul the bankruptcy if the
the jury held a different opinion to that which he
did; at the same time their finding would have
considerable influence on his mind. The question
to be tried was not one of fraudulent pretensee, bat
whether there was a bankruptcy or not. If he
proceeded with the case, and gave an unfavourable
judgment, and the fatherdn-law succeeded 4 hie
action, the bankrupt might apply to annul the pro-
ceedings in bankruptcy; or, on the other hand, le.
might apply for his discharge. —Mr. Clarke,
remarked that there was no serious charge spins"
the bankrupt individually.—Hie Honor rejoined
that it was a case requiring indents consideration;
he should adjourn until after the trial, or there
might be a motion for a new trial.—Mr. Clark* said
he was advised the case could not vs for trial.—
Mr. Gaines (Shaftesbury) said Mr. Clarke wriptirS
depend upon it the case would go for trial.—
Commissioner said, from what he bad seen, MG
Clarke was not justified in laying that flattering
unction to hie eouL —Mr. Clarke said they had Wien
the opinion of an eminent connect —Mr. Gaines
replied that the other side had done the same.—His
Honor: Such opinions were not worth a rush, unless'
both parties had agreed upoua statements of facts;
for a very slight variation might involve the whole
queetion.—The case was then adjourned to the nth
April, when his Honor said the bankrupt would
know his fate. He trusted that if any point of law
was raised, the came, both in bankruptcy and in
equity, would be brought under the consideration of
the court of common law. It was most curious to
observe how conflicting, to a certain extent, the
decisions were. In the arguments in the common
law courts the oases in bankruptcy were invariably
with.held and over•ruled. Whoever bad to =
thia case should look into the state of the law
both aspects.

went down a lane and urns the fields. Witness
went after them down the lane, and tame withie
five yards of the defendant Adams, who turnsdoind ran
away. Witness called out to Mr. Gouge, who was near,
to stop the defendant Adams, which he did.-Mrs
Genge corroborated the polioeman's evidence as to
seeing the defendants in the field, and having dogs.
The dogs started both a hare and • foxy and the defen-
dant went in pursuit across the lane into Mr. Pople's
fields. Witness heard one of them say, "There's young
Genge there, let's go on."-Defendenkin answer to the
()barge, said they were out looking for • donkey that
had strayed. They went across the field, because it was
I • near way to the road from the lane. Their dog
! ettarted • fox, but they saw nothing of • bare.-The
1 Bench said they oonsidered the charge fully proved, and
1 as Adams had been guilty of • like offence before, be
must pay a fine of il,and 18e. costs, or one month's ins-
prisonment, and Ring £1 and omits, or the same term.
