COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
lii RE 4TRON3RERG. -APPLICATION FOR MEUSE.
The hooluiipt, Ferdinand Philip Fischal Stronaberg, late
c .ruected with the Mitre Assurance Company and other
societies, renewed his application for Mean from custody.
Mr. &trod supported the application.
The smugness had been appointed, and the bankrupt bad
been in custody nearly three months.
Mr. Bagley, for the assignee, stated that he had been
nainimously chosen by creditors for 2,7001., and he thought
thAt no iolvantage would be gained to the estate by keeping
the bankrupt longer in prison. He had been occup4
farm at Vare, in Surrey, of which he had been •
teased by the Latticed, the Rev. Mr. Margreteon. he
,eignees were entitled to the value of the growiog crops,
and the bankrupt's services would be useful to the
estate. They therefore supported hie release.
Mr. E. Reed opposed, on behalf of the Metropolitan and
rounties General Assurance Company, creditors for about
1,..0).1. They submitted that the application was prema-
ture ; nothing was yet known of the facts of the cone. All
the information desired from the bankrupt would be
given by Mr. Brown, the manager of the
estate. There could be no difficulty at all about
obtuoing a valuation of the farming property. The op-
prior creditor stood apart from the bankruptcy, and sub-
ruined that the application ought lot to be entertained
heti! the accounts were filed. At present the court did not
know who were the creditors • all that wan known was that
the debts were between 11,041/. and 12.000/. The proceed.
mg+. no doubt, of Mr. Snow. as petitioning creditor
an.l assignee, were friendly ; but theopposing creditors bad
su.:eeded in getting a manager appointed to the estate.
This was no ordinary bankruptcy; the debt' were °nor-
th us : anti it was hoped that the court would not, at this
sh:e of the proceedings, interfere with the common law
r:At of the creditors. In the case of Waugh, the Lord
Cn..ncellor had laid it down that some great sad paramount
...‘..ntage to the creditors must be shown in order to entitle
':iukrupt to his release.
_ _

Mr. Bagley said that the manager of tbeeerate, Mr. Brown,
eettrAT concurred is the new expressed by the assigaree,
there were other grounds on which it was desirable that
L. bankrupt should be released.

A gentleman, who said he represented • detaining
crelitor, also ru the release.
Mr. Reed said be also appeared on behalf of the official
nAn4ger of the Mitre General Life Assurance Company,
iu course of winding up. who were creditors for upwards
of l.' I. ; and they also asked theooart not to interfere at
present.

Hn Honour said it appeared to him that this case sod
that of Waugh were so essentially different that one could
not b•• taken to rule the other. He did not understand the
lArd Chancellor to say that a paramount advantage to the
estate must be shown in every instance to entitle
a bankrupt to his release. Here the application
bad been deferred for the appointment of assignees • and
he saw no roasts to doubt that they were 'acting
Loa fide in the 0011110 now taken by them. in which they
were ;Wined by the manager. It might he the services of
buttruist would be useful, and the court thought that the
time hal now arrived for his release.
lir. heed—Will your Honour require him to give bail?
Hi. Honour did Dot QUA that necessary, and the reheat
was ordered.

Mr. IL Reed opposed for the assignees. It appeared from
Mr. Chattena's report that in the 3 months before the bank-
ruptcy, the bankrupt's purchases amounted to 5,4041., none
f win,ll were for the requirements of his trade, but for the
I."e of raising money. In the last nine months of his
tr,.ihr he had bought 10,0001. worth of goods, of which
i,'").• worth had gooe into the bands of the pawnbrokers,
