His Honour our gave judgment. He said —I have care-
fully read over the proceedings and evideoce in this Mattel.
The horikrupt at Ent attempted to get his affairs settled by
private arrangement but the praceolings were soon ad-
jammed by boa of my brother commissioners cote open
vent, certainly the fittest place for the inveeti,;ation of
caws on which it is desirable that ample light should be
thrown. This was undoubtedly rue of those cases, for part
id thy ini.conduct of the bankrupt was this, that just before
tie Isinkruptey he liought furniture to a cousiderable
amount of respectable tradesmen to furnish Mss
what handsomely a house and provokes which be
hail taken, well knowing that he must shortly
become haakrupt, and that all the property that became
his would Le practically forfeited to Lis creditors by his
hinkruptcy. Though this is not theft in a le
pint of view, it to surely as bail as theft
in a moral point of view. The bankrupt, however,
did not leave the property so purclicsoil to pass
to hi. creditors generally under the Isinkruptcy ; but he
estil,avoured to ensure to a favourite creditor, owned
Inielskolf, of Hasieghall-street, the whole of the property
so purchased, by giving him a bill of sale covering the
whole of it. I shall mirk my sense of such knavish ..on.
