AND INSOLVENCY.
In this case an important question was raised, and an
opinion was expressed which will materially affect the ap-
plication to this court. The insolvent was a bankrupt in
1844 and had not obtained his certificate. His first hearing
in this court was adjourned to ascertain bow his 011ie atooa
in bankruptcy. It new appeared that his last examination
had been pained, but be bad not applied for his certificate.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked him the reason he had
not applied for hie certificate.
The insolvent said it WIN on account of the expense.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked him whether he be-
lieved he could have obtained his certilsete if he had
altediasolveat replied in the afilmative.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said—This court must come to
a rule in oases where parties were hankie t and came to
this court. His had ammlsed Mr. Commlesteaer Murphy,
and he was ready to comer with him, that bankrupts mast
apply for their certificates before they could be hard in this
court. It was a very important questien, and be had con-
sulted Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, and it was the opinion
of the commissioners in bankruptcy, that such a rule of
this court as he had intimated would be of great service.
He (Mr. Commhsioner Phillips) doubted whether every
debt contracted by a penea whilst uncertificated was not
fraudulently . At parent there was so rube by
this mart, bat ea a conferee°, with Mr. Commissioasr Mur-
phy, there maid be one. He should not, however, adopt
the rule in this ewe, but be gave this public notice, and he
had nodoubt it would be acted upon in future seam The
hisoivent wee ordered to be discharned.
