Feu bad refuted to release the bankrept.

Hie Honour was of opinion that • vexations defence wen

Meese. It could only be done by the court in the amain
of its discretionary power.

Clidley appeared in support of the application, but
without calling on him,
His Honour said the case was a peculiar the. The bank-
rupt had bees two mouths in prison—no light punishment—
and the 112th section of the old act, under which this sp•
plioatioo was made, took no notice of a vexations defames
as a ground for refusing release. Still, the court had a
discretionary power, but it wee only exercised ia cease of
grow fraud. Other matters of misconduct were reserved
for consideration on the bankrupt applying for kis order el
discharge. la this case it waa doebtfil whether tie charge
of vexatious defence Gould be seenblielsed, and there being
no other ground of opposition the roan would order the
release, being of opinion that the bankrupt had been
punished sufficiently for any mincendont at width he lad
