of an attornes's bill, and the plea was," isdebted."
Mr. Needham appeared for the plaintiff, sad Mr. Pulling
Ism for the defendant.
The defendant was a ship carpenter, end in August 1852
he was defendant in a Chancery suit. The plaintiff's case
was, that he acted as defendant's solicitor in that suit,
and that he did the work charged for. Mies Beeman had
interested herself in the matter as behalf of the defendant,
and she was now called as a witness, the object of bow evi-
dence being to show that the plaintiff had not properly con-
ducted the suit.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 771. 19i.10d.

PAW, ALDILION. AND ILUITDI.

The court took the special paper this morning, and the
only case of any interest was the following :
WTLAIeII 1iT31.11 NITIL COMPANY O. 111111ZT.—D1IIV111111.
' '

Mr. Bovill and Mr. Detest appeared on behalf of the
plaintiffs, and Mr. Wines wee mused for the defendant.
This was a demurrer to the replication of the plaintiffe to
a plea of the defendant, which set up his bankruptcy as an
answer to an action for 2,60 W., a sum which was the
amount of calls made upon him by the sompany, is res-
pect a2OO shares of which he was the holder. 'The calls
had been made alter the defendant had paid a final divi-
dend, and had obtained his certificate. It appeared also
that the assignees to this estate bad not elected to take
the shares by nominating another person to hold them in
lies of the bankrupt.
Mr. Wines now appeared on behalf:of the defendant, and
contended that the bankruptcy of that individual amounted
to a dissolution of partnenbip, and therefore had put an
end to the responsibility of the defendant to any calls.
One of the clauses in the deed of the company expressly
provided that the power of the company to make min upon
shareholders was confined to such shareholders as were not
dead, and who were not bankrupts or insolvents.
Mr. Bovill and Mr. Daunt, on the other band, cited
other clauses of the deed, and submitted that the excep-
tions made is the clause relied on by their learned friend
must be limited to those bankrup_te whose amignees bad
elected to nominate a successor. They contended also that
the bankrupt in the present case would, if the company
were successful, have a right to claim the dividends, and
have all the sights to the benefits which might arise from
his contract. If that were so, then he ought in fairness,
under the facts disclosed in the record, to be responsible for
soy loss or liability in the event of the non-success of the

iconspany.
'rise court, attar a short consultation, said they would
take OM to °onside'. chair judgment.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.---JAN. 22.
WO= MR. COMMUNED.= MORPNT.

IN as IMANCIS PUBIS.

This insolvent. whose case was before reported, again ap-
peared to be beard.
Mr. Sargood supported.
In 1840 the insolvent was a bankrupt, and alleged that
he had paned his last examination, bet on 'amount of the
expense had not applied for his certificate. It was the
opinion of Mr. Commissioner Phillip' that the insolvent
should make an application to the Court of Bankruptcy be-
fore be was allowed to be heard in this court. No applica-
tion bad been made on account of the dateline which
existed is the case being under the old system.
Sargood now urged the case on Mr. Commissioner
Murphy, and contendel that the application required to be
made was contrary to all practice.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy, on reference to "Macro's
Insolvency Practice," found a cue in which the court re-
quired evidence other than the insolvent's own statement
that be had passed his last examination, and acting on the
authority of that ease, asked for further evidence on the
subject of parsing his last examination.
The ease was adjourned.

IN NI PHILINON I.IICI WARD.
This Insolvent, clerk to a mead ironmonger, in Drury-
lane, was opposed in ponsn by a creditor named Levey, and
supported by Mr. fiargeod.
The insolvent, as clerk to his father, had 12W. a year,
and accepted accommodation bilis for William Finch, of the
Auction Mart, to upwards of 2001. One of the bills was
held by the opposing creditor, on which he complained.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy said he could not pass this
ease without a judgment, and under all the circumstances
he thought that one of four calendar months from the vest-
ing order (26th December) would satisfy the complaint.
Judgment accordingly.
IN s= J. B. NADDIS.—COII3IIII/INII 3T COUNTY COURTS.

This woe was yesterday reported. The judge of the
County Court of Southwark had committed the insolvent,
after an interim order of protection, and on Saturday Mr.
Commissioner Phillips bad refused to discharge the Wool-
vent from the commitment. Ai the caw belonged teMr,

unoner Murphy, an application was now made to
him by Mr Bargood, and refuted, as reported in the news-
, papers. The great distinction was, that this Court had
discharged where the commitments were made after the
order of protection, as in this case. A long legal discussion
took place in the cam
Mr. Commissioner Murphy held that by the 29th section
of the 7th and Bth Vie. (the Protection Act), he had power
to discharge, and he granted the application as prayed by
Mr. &mood.

FIBS ON 011DITOIS.
A creditor complained that in &protection cue, although
he produced his notice, a fee of one shilling was demanded
before he could see a schedule. It was a hard case on
creditors.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy told him the fees were allowed
by the Lord Chancellor, and he could not interfere.
(The hardship on creditors is this, that in prison come,
before hearing, there is no charge, but in protection cases
a fee of one shilling is demanded.]
