Moots'. BANKRUPTCY. —At the Exeter Dietrict
Court of Bankruptcy, on Thursday, Mr. Henry Moore,
solicitor, of Wimborne, • bankrupt, applied for further
protection. He was opposed by Mr. Chitty, •ho
appeared for a creditor, on the ground of his having
vexatiously defended an action which was brought
against him in London. The bankrupt's diecnarge was
originally suspended for 15 months, and the Com-
missioner had from time to time granted him prates-
ties'. The bankrupt now stated that since he last
applied for protection he had earned very little, and
had been compelled to pay Aloe and other salamis&
Mr. Chitty strongly opposed the bankrupt's applica-
tion, remanding his Honour of the great expense to
which his clients were put to in eosin:ion with the
vesstious defenoe which bankrupt set us in an action
they brought !against him. Be (Mr. Chitty) bad no
animosity whatever against the bankrupt. His
Honour said he should give the bankrupt poteotion for
the remainder of the time, with the hope that it night
be for the benefit of the creditors. Mr. Chitty's Glint
was the only hostile creditor, and the other creditors
would not be diasatialiad at his being set free.
