COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—MAY 19.
(Before Mr. Coraminsioner Goulburn.)

11 IMITORN.
The bankrupt was deo:wiled as an importer of materials'
for wax Bower., of New Boad-street. This was the certifi-
cate meeting. Against debts of 1,484/, and liabilities of
1,8461., the assets were returned at 200/. ; but it is not ex-
pected that any dividend will be yielded.
Mr. Lawrence supported.
Mr. }Lockwood, for the assignees, offered no opposition.
Mr. West opposed for Miss Bates, a creditor for 3001.
It appeared, from the report of Mr. Pennell, the official
assignee, that the lankrupt had acted as agent to the
South Yorkshire Coal Company, in which capacity he
had received a salary of 4001. Of the use* 128/.
bad been realised. Against profits of 1,1281., there were
expenses and losses of 2,61301., the trade expenses alone being
2,0211. The liabilities of 1,848/.were in respectof the bank.
rupt's son, in whose favour be had retired from the business,
but afterwards returned to it.

Mr7-IWW;tatea-t:LY -3-1 k; Bates's complaint was that
she had been induced to lend money to the bankrupt'. sou
in the belief that he was solvent, when he was really
upwards of 5001. behind the world.

'The bankrupt was examined. He admitted that he bad
executed a bill of sale in December last, miter Mims Bates
had commenced an action against him. About the lame
time he received 2001. from the Victoria aloe, which he
bad paid to different creditors. He bad retired from lmi-
nas in 1848, but had returned to it on finding that his son
was misocaducting it. Miss Bates had managed the busi-
ness for big son, and had advanced the money, for which he
Ind become liable. His son bad accepted billa in his name
tone amount of 6,010/.
The Commissioner— When you found the buainees in the
state you describe, why did you go back to it?
Basbrupt (bursting into tears)—My son bad been adver-
timed far, and I did it to save an seed parent's name.
After beeriag Mr. Lawrence for the bankrupt,
His Honour said the opposition was an ungracious one on
the part of Miss Bates. There was no pretence for seeking
to bring the bankrupt within the penal clauses. The debt
was not hie, but that of his son, in whose employ Miss Bates
had been. Her only claim against the bankrupt was
through his having made himself liable for his son's debts.
Commercially speaking, the bankrupt had done wrong in
assuming his son liabilities ; but every one must synipa-
WM with his motives. He might take an immediate cer-
tificate of the second elms.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—MAY 19.
