abroad. Be had accepted bills for him, and was by him
introduced to Mr. Joseph Joel, a money-lender. He bad
also some bill trazeactions with Lord Forth, which sp.
peered on the schedule.
Several of the opposing creditors oomplained of the man-
ner la which their debts had been contracted. Mr. Pals-
ford and Mr. Inanee were called, se also two clerks from
Memo. Brown end Messrs. Matthisoo. In addition to
clothes to inert, 1001., the insolvent obtained 651. of Messn.
Bemis' and gave his bill. Messrs. Pittsford, after banking
hours, advanc,cl 201. on a cheque of Cole's, in addition vi
clothes, and Mews. Mattbison 104 on • cheque of Coles
for 301. They were only creditors for clothes, Including •
fancy court Oren for the character of Sir Glif I Overreach,

the schedule, of which "ten" were tailors besides out-
fitter., hosier', &e. In a few month, of lut year, having
returned from Ireland with his regiment in June,
he contr.cted • number of debts. His outfit, sup-
plied by Messrs. Hamburger, was 3501., and for

was that the in.olvent gave them • cheque for 2001, which
would have been ;mid out of the cnnomesion, but the pay
went sou countermanded. The case of Mr Becker could
not be proceeded with, a. he was unable to attend on the
present occasion.. _

Mr. Griffin submitted that the insolvent had acted in a
fraudulent 11111111101 towards his creditors, particularly with
reference to the complaint.. of Messrs. Pulsford and Messrs.
Mat.hison, in which he had been twisted by Alfred Whaley
Cole.

Mr. Sersood admitted the extraverrance of the insolvent,
but contended that there was no fraud to be imputed to the
young man. It was lement.ble to ern the (aslant' of credit
given to young men, aid that cr.ditors should rely on their
fathers Cr other membirs of their family to pay their debt..
Were such men to come to thie court and ask for &Pads-
meat 7 Oae of the creditors had said be found he was the
"eon of his lather," aid that was the secret of the ease.
They relied on Mr. Dane .n wort to pay the debts, and
did cot I .ok so much to the young man bet re the court.
The Chief Cemmissioner required creditors to be d
and the broker of the court to value some clothes left in the
pouession of a person named Ray, which had been re-
deemed from Cox's Hotel, in Jermyn street, out of 1001.

to the number of tailors in the schedule, remarked that the
fairness of all dealings consisted in the equal knowledge of
fere between the parties.
