INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Fox. 10.

IN 111 !MORNS Z. LATBAX.—A YkIaNDLY 61111111%
This insolvent, a horse-dealer and livery stable keeper,
was opposed by Mr. Bargood and supported by Mr. Dowse.
The complaint was that the insolvent bad disposed of hie
=pony and got himself friendly arrested to be relieved
ell his debts by takieg the benefit of the act. This
was bis ," seeing experiment." He was heard in June in
this meet, engem in prison at the suit of his brother. On
Oat measles the melt dismissed the petition oa the ground
of naiades immt. Ha was now in prison at the suit of •
peon mated Ikea, and the question was whether it was
a milneive ethieadly arrest. He swore ha owed the money,
aril alter a geed deal of prevarication admitted that he
galled ea him to get Weigel( arrested. The attendance of
Boma wee required, and he was ordered to attend. It was
that he we. yesterday intoxicated, and had been
imwf to be in such • state for three weeks at a time, so
that there was no certainty when he could be produced to
giro evidence.
Mr. Comatheioner Phillips declared that in all his ex-
pertise@ is Gouts of law he had n heard such evidence,
of a man being drunk three weeks at • time.
It appeared that there was nothing for the neaten, the
ineolvest having before he was arrested dimmed of all his
property. The ease occupied sometime, aad the point was
whether the court would allow this " Domed ezperinteat" to
succeed.
Mr. Commimioner Phillips ultimately decided that
the court would not sustain a petition on a friendlgred
where there was no property, by a person who had
of the same. He therehre had no other alternative but to
dismiss this second petition.
The court dismissed the petition.
