COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Ssvr. 'mar.
Before Mr. CommWdontr Shepherd.
IN RR STANBOROVOH.—FRAED AND FOLLY.—The in-
solvent, a clerk in railway companies, and of respectable
family, came up for his final order. In examination, he said
that he had been living with Isis parents. His father was a
man of property, and until he became a little embarrassed,
paid all his debts. He always expected to get a situation.
His father had a town and country business
Mr. J. Plumb, of Oxford-street, jeweller, said : The insol-
vent came to my shop and wanted some pencil-cases and
brooches to give to a lady getting married. He asked if I
would allow him to take these things fur inspection, and he
was to return them. I did so, but I never saw him again.
I went to the police authorities, and would have given him
in charge for swindling, only I could not find him.
His Honour : In point of fact, it is a swindle and robbery.
Mr. Hammond : The insolvent was to be taught the cor-
net a piston at half-a-guinea a lesson. He gave a card,
which was, " Wilton-street, Belgrave-square." This address
was so respectable, that the instrument, which was of the
value of M., was taken to the insolvent, and from that day to
the present, it was not forthcoming, or the money.
Several other creditors were in attendance, all of whom
complained of having been victimised by the insolvent.
The insolvent, again examined, said: I never represented
myself to be Sir Henry Stanborough, and am not the man to
do any such thing. Hurst, whose name has been on
bills of mine, I believe to be a man of property. I believe
his property to be in Yorkshire. The horse he had got was
taken to a veterinary surgeon, who pronounced it unsound.—
[His Honour : That was like the story of buying a bad horse,
and paying for it with bad money.)—l was to have six
weeks' credit from Plumb. I never said I was going to get
married. I never sent back the pencil-eases. I was only to
have had one. Never went to his shop again.
His Honour dismissed the petition.
IN RE JOHNSTONE.—THE NEW SMALL DEBTS ACT,—
The insolvent, stated to be an authoress, applied for her
release, and was opposed by Mr. Bean, of the Greyhound
Inn, Croydon. Tee lady was one of the Duke of Bruns-
wick's witnesses at the late trial at Croydon, and took up
her residence at the Greyhound, where her bill amounted
to 121., not one farthing of which had she paid, although
admitting the receipt of 161. from the duke for her ex-
penses. In liquidation of the debt she offered to give up
some " Chancery" papers, which Mr. Bean refused, and
the insolvent now repeatedly declared that she could not
pay a "farthing." She had left home without her "purse,"
and hoped that certain summonses which she required
would be given to her without the payment of any fees. The
summonses were directed to be granted without fees, and
the further hearing was adjourned for a week. The
learned commissioner told the lady that she must pay some-
thing. She must be earning some money.—Miss Johnstone :
Oh, unfortunately, sir, not one shilling.
