BANKRUPT.

At the Dudley Police Court on Wednesday, be:
fore Messrs J. Garrett, IL T. Terry, and W. S.
Gorton, Joseph Bellies, grocer, of Woodside, was
chervil with obtaining goods on credit within foe r
of bankruptcy by false representation.
Wal.lron prosecuted, and Mr. Hooper appeared or
the 41.,fence.—Edwin Ele,ock, miller, said defer:J.:Lilt
oweti him £2O ss. on the 21st June when be tiled
his ptiion. Early in May he had a con-vnza.Lion
with defendant, who told bins that the house he
lived in and the one adjoining were let, and he
natnel the rent he was having for the next door.
Afer that he continued to trade with him. Pre-
viously he intended to push defendant for a settle-
ment, snt he was induced to supply further goods
because he believed what had been told him as to
the property. He supplied the h.- st goods on the
7th June, and a very short time before
defend:int made the statement about the houses.
Ile should not have parted with the goods inJun e
had defendant not made that representation.
Cross-examined : Witness said defendant's account
was reduced more than £lO between the time of
his wiFe's death and the filing of the petition. Had
accepted orders in march and before the early part
of May, aud nothing was then said about the property
These goods were supplied on the ordinary credit.—
Mr. James Eccleston, grocer, Brockmoor, said he
tradsd with defendant's wife before her marriage,
; and afterwards with the defendant. Some
time after the wife's death, defendant, who
owed him .E. 20 said he had bought the premises in
which the business was carried on and the next
house to it, He repeated that statement as late as
May -290-1, and in consequence of that statement
made ov->r and ovey again as to the property witness
allowed Ildliss to run up his account to £56. It
wris because he believed the property belonged to
defendant that he was induced to trust him. He
did ne,t ascertain it was untrue until the public
examination, when defendant denied the pnrchase
of the property, or that he had told any creditor he
had bought it. He should not have allowed Holliss
to have the goods only that he believed the story
about the property.—Mr. James Hannay, drysalter,
was then called, but no further evidence was tak,n,
and it was arranged to adjourn until Friday.
