Booms Rs. EMninisiomui Evsss.
IN Ea Buss.
This was the certificate meeting in the VIM of Edwin I
Bliss, brushinaker and warebouseman, of Barbican. Tht
balance sheet, extending over three years and a half prior
to February last, showed a sum of 4,896!. due to trade
creditors, 10,1761. to secured cash creditors, and 1,1771. to
those holding no security._ The assets were, in good debts,
4,4721. ; in property, 2,2861. ; property held by creditors,
3,4731. The profits had been 10,8261. ; losses, 3,0161.; in
tense., 2,160/. ; deficiency at the commencement of the ac-
count, 2,7551. ; trade expenses, 8,2931. ; private expenses,
1,5.361.; insurances, 1751. ; law costs, 3471.
His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the
second class.
Ist RE BROWN.
The bankrupt was described as an engineer, of Brunswick-
street, Stamford-street. He had also kept the Brunswick
Arms public-house. This was an adjourned meeting for
the last examination. The balance sheet, prepared by
Messrs. Harding and Co., of Gu.ldhall-chsmhcrs, showed a
sum of 5,285/. due to unsecured creditors, and 6991. to those
holding security. The assets were, in good and doubtful
debts, 931.; in property, 1,175/.; ditto held by creditors,
8221. The profits had been 2,1721. ; trade expenses, 8701. ;
domestic ditto, 3201.; law charges, 5311.; interest, 5261.;
losses, 3,190/. ; deficiency at the commencement of the ac-
count,9lBl. The adjournment had taken place in consequence
of a proof tendered by the father of the bankrupt, who
claimed to be a creditor for 3,6001., including interest.
The bankrupt passed.
1?i RE LOCICEER.
The bankrupt, a baker, of King-street, Long-acre, and
Old-street, St. Luke's, applied fur his certificate. The ba-
lance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Hutton, of Bucklersbury,
extended from the Ist of August, 1819, to the 12th of March
last. The bankrupt owes 1,3871. to unsecured, and 8221. to
secured creditors. The assets were 101. in good debts, and
1691. in property; property to the amount of 1,8191. was held
by creditors. The profits had been 6701. ; capital, 8721. ;
trade expenses, 1,0251. ; house and personal expenses, 2891. ;
Law costs, 126/. ; losses, 2611.
Mr. liilleary, for the assignees, said they opposed on several
grounds—improvident and reckless trading,fraudulent repre-
sentations in order to obtain credit, imperfect bookkeeping,
and having little or no assets for his creditors. While his pro-
fits during eighteen months had been only 682/. his ex-
penses of various kinds had amounted to 1,541. The
property which he anticipated from his father's will was of
uncertain amount, and was mortgaged to a large extent.
Security had been given to an aunt when he was in
a state of insolvency. The result was that the assignees,
atter paying the rent and taxes of the two shops, had no-
thing left. The assignees asked for a considerable suspen-
sion of the certificate, and that the protection might be
withheld.
Mr. Linklater submitted that there was no ground for
such a decision. The charge of reckless trading had not
been supported; fur when the bankrupt found the business
in Old-street unsuccessful, he had sought to dispose of it,
' and had had 250/. offered for it only a short time before
the failure, which he refused as insufficient. Taking to-
, gether the capital and the profits, they exceeded the amount
of expenditure. Up to the time of the failure he had
a reasonable expectation of being able to pay all his debts.
His Honour did not think the bankrupt had been guilty
of fraud under the 256th clause ; he might hove been over
sanguine. The security to the aunt had been given under
duress, and was therefore a fraudulent preference. The
eroding had been most improper; the accounts had been
• kept so imperfectly that he could not at any time know the
true state of his affairs; the certificate must therefore be
„ suspended for six months; when granted, to be of the second
class. Protection would be given for two months.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.-TESTEIIIMT.

Is RE CHARLES PERCIVAL.
Mr. Lewis (Lewis and Lewis) made an application to
the court under peculiar circumstances. The insolvent,
who is a government clerk, made a proposal to pay 121.
quarterly into court fur his creditors. lie was now pre-
pared to make another payment, but he had an order from
a county court for M. on a debt inserted in bis schedule,
and his application was that the court w.atld allow him to
deduct the debt and expenses from the money he was re-
quired to pay into this court.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that he had no
right to interfefe—the required sum must be paid.
Mr. Lewis said it was a case of great hardship. There
was no final order in the case, only a protection, and the
county courts would not recognise such a protection.
His Honour asked whether county courts proceeded
where there was a protection granted by this court ?
Mr. Lewis said, it was constantly done, even unto exe-
cution. Had there been a final order in this case, the result
would have been different.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said, the only way to keep
men to their proposals, was only to give protection from
time to time. Ile saw, while a commissioner at Liverpool,
the danger of granting final orders, and expecting men to

His Honour declined to interfere in the matter, saying,
that as the case was heard by the chief commissioner, an
application could be made to him. He was bound to sup-
pose that the county courts were justified in the course
