The insolvent underwent a lengthened examination by
Mr. Dower, from which it appeared that he had kept en
account at the London Joint-stock Bank in Pall mall,
which was opened in June, 1862, and closed at the end of
the year. He was entitled to reversionary property in
Yorkshire, under his grand uncle's will, which had been
valued at between 3,0001. and 4,000/. He had raised
money en the property from money lenders, and had given
charges to 3,70 W., but had only received 1,1821. He had
mind money from Mr. Richard Kirkman Lane and Mr.
Arnold. Mr. Alexander Roper, to whom he was intro-
duced by a Captain Brans, had a charge, and in December

He had head nod gambled, and bet money. He went
over thasteennl articles he had pledged. His wife pledged
the drone" ewe he had of Mr. Fryei. She had gone to Italy.
• ilsopmelt loss be had of Mr. Fryer be had given to Mr.
Fete sem be bed ben in prison.
The implant es the part of Mr. Budd (who was not in
court) was that the insolvent got him to exchange his cheque
for 301. for a few days. They had net at the ogee of Mr.
Cole. Mr. Budd considered that he had been very badly
need.

Reed appeared for Mr. Keene, sail an objection was
raised until he proved his debt. Mr. Keene was out of
town, and the point was not pressed, it being admitted that
it was merely • watching brief.
In answer to Mr. Cooke, the insolvent said he was the
only son. On • former occasion his father bad paid hie
debts. Ho 'spieled to raise suSektat money on his pro-
perty, and Mr. Stephens told him he could raise 6,0001. on
it. Mr. Roper offered to raise him money. He believed
Roper was a man of great source,. He (the in•olvent) bad
had communications with his father, but he was not willing
to do anything on amount of antis debts he had con-
tracted.
He was arrested in July last, and his father had
been informed of it. When he executed the deed in De-
, comber to Roper on the residuary estate, he expected money
to pay his creditors.
Mr. Nichols submitted that the Insolvent bad no reason-
I able expectation of paying his debts. Mr. Budd fejt
aaaoyed at the manner in w►ich his debt had been in-
curred.

Mr. Dowse insisted that the insolvent had not only no
reasoned' expectations of paying his creditors, but no in-
'tent/on of paying them. The learned counsel went over
the several asses, and complained of the reckless con-
duct of the insolvent.
Mr. Cooke contended that the creditors bad relied on the
insolvent's father for payment, and there was every proba-
bility that the bath fide creditors would be paid, as the
father was well known to be • man of wealth. The insol-
vent had, unfortunately, fell into the hands of money-
lender", and his estate had nut realised the sum he es-
pseud.
Mr Commissioner Murphy gave his opinion on the case.
If the ease rested on the money transaction', he should
hove pronounced a discharge; but the insolvent had, in
contracting the debts with the tradesmen who appeared,
shown a reckless disposition. True it was that "evil
communications corrupt good manner," and he was afraid
that the person with whom he had etc connected, and
who had introduced him to tradesmen, had given him a
degree of recklessness which had made him indifferent to
the interest of others. Then bad been something like a
systematic wrong towards his creditors, aad the mode of
paying a little and then getting large supplies, showed that
be was not the person he had been described by his able
counsel. It was his intention to deal with the case in a
penal manner, and give such a judgment that would per-
haps get the creditors their money. He should feel him-
self unworthy of his present position if he neglected to re-
mend such • person, when he punished the peer creatures
who came before him when they had offended against the
law. It was his intention to remand the insolvent at the
snit of Budd, Bremnen, Johnson, Ryde, Shepherd, Gibbs,
Evans, Fryer, and Boss for a period of twelve calendar
months from the vesting order.
Mr. Casks asked for an adjournment to settle.
Mr. Cessinbrioser Marphy refused. His award was
that the insolvent should go to prison for the time.
It was discovered that a notice was not served, and the
me was adjourned to the Ist November.
His Honour said if the creditors to:6601. were paid, the in-
solvent would be discharged, otherwise a judgment of 12
months would be given.
