INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESICERDAY.

Barons Ma. COIIIIIII3IONICA PNGLITS.
IN RI CHARLES JOHN DELAVILLE.—BILL DISCOUNTING.
Tbis insolvent, described so a money agent, was opposed
by Mr. Sargood for a gentleman named Bernard Granville,
and supported by Mr. Cooke.
The opposing creditor was induced by an advertisement
to lend money, to place io the bend of one Gardiner (a name
well known in money lending advertisements) two accep-
tances for 5001. each. They were sent from Staffordshire,
in which county Mr. Granville resided, to be discounted.
No money was obtained, and after passing through sevaral
hangs the Ins ilvent informed Mr. Granville that they could
be procured, and they were recovered. The insolvent after-
wards claimed 231. for his aervic s, and brought an action,
the record of which he withi!rew, and was now in custody
for 311., the expenses of the action incurred by Mr. Gran
villa. lle bad been in prison newly five months, and it was
urged that he was a fit subject for the application of the dis-
cretionary clause.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips gave the insolvent to under-
stand that if he had not been nearly film mouths in con-
finement he would have remanded him. Ho had been •
bankrupt and insolver.t before, and his debts still owing
under his former failures were 2,7001. It wars no doubt an
imprudent act fur a gentleman to place bills in the market in
what was called " blank" at all, and it was also imprudent for
the insolvent to have acted as he had done. It was only on
account of ►is imprisonment that he was now discharged.
Discharged accordingly.
