The bankrupt, who hail carried on business at Brighton,
applied for his discharge. It appeared that he had been
surd in the county court and judgment obtained against him
before his banliguptcy. The county court creditor hail
proved under the bankruptcy. A judgment summons was
Liken out in the county court, and the judge
committed the le,nkrupt. The creditor had opposed the
bankrupt in this court, and the commissioner had suspended
his order of discharge fur sin months, refusing protection.
The county court bailiff took the debtor from this
court, under the order of commitment from the
county court; and the question was whether the
debtor, being • bankrupt in this court, and the
county court creditor having moreover elected to prove
meter the bankruptcy, the commissioner should not inter-
fere awl prevent the debtor from being incarcerated under
any other procc.. than that of the Court of Bankruptcy.
