fendant) would recommend her to take the benefit of the
Insolvent Debtors Act, and so hetear from all debts tem
treated by her demand hus`and. Herald that a Mr. Mar-
shall was at that time taking him '• through the court," sad
that If she meld raise 41. more Mr. Marshall would
get bee the neemeary protection. She obtained the
money, which defendant procribted to pay into Mr.

ttiest/ that she should pay Mr. Jolly, es no one else wee
troubling her. On their leaving Mr. Marshall's defendant
mid he would see Jelly and settle with hint, and give her
the dilemma. She went on the following Thursday end
Seturday to defendant's to know whet arrangement be had
node when be said be could not get her money from Mr.
Marshall, to whom he had paid It, ea he had gone to his
country house at Highgate. She went to defendant Ire

that day she received a eon, from defendant,

ing to pay biro 71.. which be should give him on the following

also another creditor, named Branton. 11. 18a. He had no
authority from complainant to pay Broaden, and neither
Jelly nor Branden were paid.
In mosammeninetion by Mr. I) Iris complainant said that

plainant never gave defendant any authotity to sue a person

defendant to pay Brendan, and although he pretended he

wiih Jolly se be was tbe only penal who troubled her, and
told her it would be thr.•wiag away money to attempt to go
through the court.
