LIOACT DUT r.—JUDOIIIII4I%
This ease earns before the court upon a special verdict.
It was an information by the Attorney•Oeneral, to recover
the amount of legacy duty duo to the crown by the defend-
ant uuoler his father ti will, which directed the defendant to
pay to his mother, the dowager Lady Henniker, • sum not
exceeding one-third of the annual proceeds of certain
estates. the Solicitor-Goeral had been heard on behalf of
the crown, and Mr. flogging, for the defendant, the quer
tMn being whether the sum to be paid to Lady Henniker
could be regarded as a legacy, and so become subject to the
payment of duty. The court having deferred its decision
at the time of the argnmenr,
Mr. Peron Parke now said, that the court were of
opinion that the judgment ought to be for the crows- It
• WAS wrfectly clear that, although no deed had bees ear
muted, the defendant had an equitable rower to Amp An
estates with the payment of the annuity. This 0111111 OM,
within the principle of the decision in the "Attorney-
General v. Pricker ; " and there was no doubt that the de-
fendant, as the heir of his father, or Equitable tenant in
poesis.ion fur life, was the person liable to pay the legacy
duty, which must be paid upon one-third of the estates in
question.

This wail an information tiled by the Attorney-Cianeral
to recover from the defendant certain penalties alleged to
have been incurred by reason of his having manufactured
and concealed a quantity of soap, without having given
notice to the revenue officers in order that it might be
entered for a duty.
After several witnesses bad been called, who clearly
proved the cue on the part of the crown,
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins said that he felt it would be Im-
possible to resist the ease which had been established
against his client, and Fe would therefore consent to a ver-
dict being returned against him.
The jury then found a verdict for the crown on all the
counts.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-SATViDAY.
litres& Ma. COIIIII,MIIIIIIII GooLacaN.
IN RE MULE,.

This was en adjourned meeting in the ease of Spencer
Ashlin, corn-factor, of Mark-Line. The cast was before
the court last sera, when the bankrupt was eternised at
great length.
Mr. Murray recapitulated the evidence then given, Mid
asked the Court to act upon the 256th *lease, and withheld
any further protective.
Mr. Lawrence roost nded that the bankrupt was entitl:3
to protection as a matter of ruht, under the 112th section.
" for such further time as shall he allowed' hen for finishing
his examination." Here the bankrupt had been allowed
until the 13th of March fur that purpose.
His Honour, after recapitulating the changes which
were made under the 2d, 6th, and 9th herds of the 256th
section. said he had no doubt the act was meant to apply
to cases of this description. Had the legislature intended
this provision only to npply after the bankrupt had
finished his examination or been adjourned without day,
the limitation would, no doubt. have been expressed. He
should came an order to be drawn up as nearly se possible
in the words of the act, to the effect that it having ap-
peared to the court, at the sitting appointed for the last
examination, that the bankrupt had committed the follow-
ing offences (which would be specified), the court refused
to grant him any further protection from arrest. If Mr.
Lawrence was confident in his constraction of the act, he
might take the matter to another tribunal. He wished he
could stop there ; but the case was one quite out of the
ordinary course. He had never, in all his experience in
bankrurry, known one quite like it. Those who framed
the law hail not thought it enough that protection should
be withheld from • fraudulent bankrupt; • further
imperat:ve duty was thrown upon the court by the 255th
section. that of directing the assignees to institute a
prosecution for such offencei. If proceeded against under
the 25lat section—a highly penal one—for concealing hie
estate with intent to defraud his creditors, the bankrupt
was liable to transportation for life; formerly the punish-
meat was capital. As the bankrupt had made a clean
breast before the last examination, the court would not
direct a prosecution under that clause, though of coarse it
would libe open to the assignees to do so if they were
advised that such a pecoscution could be sustained. But
there was not the smallest doubt that the ease came within
the 242nd and part of the 25.3 rd clauses, the bankrupt hav-
ing, within three months of the bankruptcy, concealed •
eionmeleratte part of his property, and it was sufficient in the
terms of the act if he was suspected of haying done so. The
court wished not to say a word which might cast a prejudice
on the bankrupt when he went before the jury; but the
ease was one in which justice required that the commercial
public should be protected against frauds of this descriptina,
which were detected with the greatest difficulty; and it
highly imported, not merely creditors, but bankrupts, that
honest trailers should not be confounded with persons of this
description, but that a broad distinction should be drawn
between the honest and upright man who struggled against
the misfortunes to which only his failure was attributable,
and the moo wbo intended to cheat his creditors' who falai
fled end altered his books, and who so arranged matters as
to provide for himself a large fund, taken out of the pockets
of the creditors, and to be used for his own purposes. Under
these circumstances, the court felt it its duty to make a
further order, directing the assignees to institute a prosecu-
tion, and to carry it forward in the way pointed out by the
metiers.
The court was crowded to excess daring the delivery of
this judgment. The bankrupt, who was present at the
consineneement, left the court an great baste se soon as pro-
tection was refused.
