vent was to vest in &beaters'. The marriage had not
taken place, and it appeared that the insolvent bad used
the many is discharge his liabilities on the Stock Ex-
change, Inserted through Alfred Schrader, and had no
MOW of paying the mosey. Mr. Christopher plead the
matter is the hands of his solicitors. The result was, that
1,0001. was obtaimid out of the 4 0001. Some interest was
subsequent) paid, and two promissory notes were given for
then liming 3,0001., which had not been paid. It ap-
that the insolvent had lived in a very stylish manner,
ca.= too vehicles, Dorms, be., the whole of which had
been sad. On being used what had become of &ander-
he said he " had gone to pieces." Schroder had s reversion,
spy Welton in some property which he had offered to bin.
He applied Mr. Chnstopher's money to meet the engage
mate on the Stock Exchange, expecting a rise by which ks
would have been able to recover the amount.

Several letters, written in • familiar strain by the Insolvent
to Mr. Christopher, then in France, were read. They were
written in 1847, and disclosed the state of shares, and the
uncertainty of matters connected with the sass. In one he
said " the 4,0001.4 taking interest," at which time it had

Mr. Commkeioner Law, In expressing his *Won, said
that payment of 1,0001. out of 4,0001. was a matter to be eon-
deleted; but it did not, with him, destro the esigisal com-
plaint altogether. He had never adopted such agendas as

oat a matriege, and he had spent it in what had
been very properly termed " gambling transactions,"
