The bankrupt in this ease waatiMeribed as • merchant, of
Hammersmith, and of Carametnet, Raseall-squars. AP-
plizstion was made, • few days ego, to rimmisd the ceder
granting the •
bankrupt his release from custody, on the
ground that he bad obtained it by what is known se " sham
WI," the sureties turning out on bigotry to be worthless.
His Honour, in giving judgment, said be °moldered that
the opposing creditor, tCr. Gill, had some in adder the bask-
ruptcy by delivering requisitions ; and mike mart wasbound
to construe the law in favour of a macs liberty, he would

At El O. FOPL
. .

The bankrupt, a sm—all—bilkie7 and beer-shop keeper at
Finchley-oommon, owing about 4001., was opposed, on his
application for discharge, on the ground that he had ob.
Mined from Hewn. Truman, Banbury, and Co., • loan of
1001. by tendering as security some landed property which
in reality was settled on his wile, and which he had not the
right to charge.
In examination the bankrupt stated that he fully believed
be had a right to deal with the property, and only found
out his mistake after the security was given. The money
was advanced to enable him to open a heerhoum, and
Messrs. Truman had since supplied him with beer, and had
reosived interest regularly on the bian.
His Honour being of opinion that the ease did not come
within the provisions of the act of 1861, granted the order.

IN EL H. B. JOILISON.
The bankrupt was a wine and beer merchant, of the
Circular Vaults, St. Paul's. The failure occurred so long
ago as April, 1543, and the case has been frequently before
the court. The liabilities are upwards of ..1,00131., and DO
dividend has been paid.
. . .

This was the adjciurned sitting for discharge.
Mr. Linklater, for the misses, did not oppose.
Mr. Reed, on behalf of creditors amounting to 14,000 L,
said that they had great reason to complaint of- the reckless
and improvident manner in which the bankrupt had con-
ducted his business, he having incurred debts of 27,0001. in
nine or ten month., and the assets having only yielded
1,200/. But looking at the period which the cue had been
before the court (18 months) the opposing creditors would
be satisfied if the order of discharge was suspended for 18
months with protection for three months.
Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said the case was one in
which he could not ask for an immediate discharge. He
was grateful for the consideration shown him by his credi-
tors. There were many mitigating circumstances in the 0n..,
but it was not necessary to go into them, as the bankrupt
was prepared to submit to the judgment proposed.
His Honour said the bankrupt had been well advised in
the matter ; and the court, without going through the evi-
dence, would suspend the order for 18 months, giving pro-
tection for three months, renewable at the end of that
period.

DI LZ !Lin trrox.
The bankrupt, a provision merchant, of the Creacest,
Ilinorice, applied for his discharge from debts of 8931.,
giving up a trifling amount of anew.
Mr. Thomsou opposed, and examined the bankrupt. It
appeared that his business was now carried on by his brother,
who had bought the goods from fern. Bali.
Onler granted.
