COURT OF
(Bakt. Kr. Commissioner Gou'burn.)
IX it monism:.

The bankrupt was a mining agent and aharebroker, of
Greaham-house, Old Broad-street. At the last sitting a
claim of 2,6001. wee preferred against the estate by Mr.
Oliver, of Croydon, and the Rev. Thomas Mart, in their
capre*y as members of a oommittee of shareholders in the
Basest Mine, of which the bankrupt had been manager end
weer.
The claim was supported by Mr. Bagley and Mr. A.
Tamar and opposed by Mr. Lawrence.
'Honour now said there were various circumetanms
under which claims to prove were allowed to be put on the
proceedings, principally where • creditor was unable at the
mama to state the precise amount of his debt, sad might
be preandked unless funds were reserved suilleiset
pay him his dividend. In one case, that of " Goddard v.
Venderhithe" (3, Wilson), • common law ore, the Chief
Justice bad drawn a distinction which would be recognised
at this day—that a claim could not be entered where the
damages were quite uncertain, es for an assault; but that
where there was a reasonable certainty of the amount, and
a reasonable ground for believing that it would be substan-
tiated afterwards, the claim ought to be mitered. It was said
that but for this claim Mr. Tredianick might at once super-
sede hie bankruptcy, having got the oonsent of all the cre-
ditors except Mr. Ohver, and having tendered to him the
amount for which he has already proved ; and that but for
this claim he would be entitled to take the case at once out
of the 00111 t, and leave the creditors to enforce their rights as
they might be able to do. But the mischief resulting from
that course was exactly the lame as would result to a cre-
ditor who lost his chance of dividend through the meow
being divided. It would be unjust not to permit these pattise
to have moms further time to put their claim into a Isgal kiss.
The liabilit Ina clearly admitted. The right of these pardon
to prove might be more questionable. That would dvsed
upon the court-book principle end the law of miners, and also
upon the rights of committees elected by shareholders. All
that would have to be inqu;red into; but it would be atoms-
, rively unjust not to give these parties a power of putting
their proof into legal she The bankrupt required two
months for the preparation of pe. his accounts, end the creditors
also ought to have time to go into their accounts. The claim
would be admitted ; if not substantiated and turned into a
proof within a month froui the filing of the accounts, to be
serack out.

—The same order wu made M reference to another claim
arising out of the Carnewas Mine.
Mr. Turner said that on the last occv +ion Mr. Lawrence
had charged the assignee with having acted most dis-
gracefully.
The Commissioner—Oh, never mind that. You have a
set-cdf in Mr. Bagley having laid the same thing of the
Ibmill.twranoe—idore than that. He said that the bank-
rupt had acted ecandalowly. (A laugh.)

Osd for his certlfioate a few days ego, when he was op
by Mr. Ashurst, on the ground of having obtained by
fraud and false representation from Mesas. orrison,

His Honour now gave judgment. The laming of the
certilloate must be suspended for nine months upon the
rarifeatures of the case, and for three months longer

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Mecca 22.
(Bdore the Chid Commissioner.)
IN NM WILLIAM DRAYTON DAVIS.

This Insolvent, who had been a gentleman former, at
Piddlehinton, near Dorchester, whose case has been before
the mart on more than one occasion, appeared for adjudioa-
, Um

Mr. Bicker Caarter and Mr. Reed opposed for a number
of creditors ; Mr. &mood and Mr. Macrae supported.
The insolvent's father, a gentleman of property, put him
into one of his own farms, at Piddlehinton, and had paid •
good deal of money for him. He was now • creditor for
1,2001., and it was proved that he told some of the creditors
that if they gave further credit he would not pay. flame
did give further credit, and there were debts on the schedule
which, It wee alleged, had been extravagantly Incurred, said
after the insolvent lied given a bill of sale to • money leader,
is April, 1866, and which his father had paid off. About
October, 1866, the insolvent left his farm and went to France
sad Jersey. There his father had to pay some debts, and
afterwards at Brighton the father supplied him with money.
The learned Chief Commissioner went over the owe and
commented on the extravagance of the insolvent, and his
"whoa for champagne, brandy, and gin. He considered
that the debts after the; bill of sale had been incurred without
reenosable expectation of payment, and although the inaol•
vent had been in prison mace November, he should give a
j6diCent. case stood over till Friday for judgment.

Oa the other end wee an iron mew, on which was fastened
Iron nut, ea that it might be used either way.
Despite the disparity of numbers, so well did the keepers ply
their weapons, although they were fired upon b 7 their se-
salients many times, that the poachers retreated into a road
leading to Tibberten, where they made a stand, pointing
tratrs through the badge at the keepers. Here the de-
o George Norton, was found lying on the ground, hay-
ing received a diamond-shaped wound in the abdomen, which
the bowels. From the effects of this wound
ha died the following morning. A watcher, named
Sped, wee also shot in the abdomen and side. The poachers,
too, bad been very roughly handled, and they eventually re-
treated. Upon proceeding to the scene of the first en-
counter the keepers found two men's caps, the broken
stock of • single gun, a pocket handkerchief, a
double-barrelled gun, a single gun, the barrel of • single
gun, a bludgeon, with a her at one end and a 'pear at the
other, about 7 inches long, the blade of a spear of a similar
description, and • hen pheasant. The battle ground was
torn up in all directions—large patches and clots of blood
here and there, and torn clothing strewn around. The
poachers made good their escape, leaving Hughes and France
in the hands of the keepers. Harris and Wright were sub-
sequently arrested by the police. Norton was • married
man, with two children.
During the hearing of the evidence it appeared that
Hughes and France were in custody before the fatal encoun-
ter took place, and they were ordered to ke discharged.
Mr. Neale made an energetic appeal on behalf of the other
two prisoners.
the learned judge had summed up carefully,
The jury returned • verdict of Guilty of manslaughter
against the two prisoners at the bar.
The four prisoners were then arraigned for night poach-
ing, to which they pleaded Guilty.

Harris and Wright were first sentenced. His lordship
mid they bad been found guilty of manslaughter under very
serious circumstances, end he could not pars it over without
marking his ream of the enormity of it. Hs then sentenced
them etch to be kept to penal asnitnds for 14 years.

France and Hughes were then sentenced to penal servi-
tude for 8 years each, for night poaching, his lordebip ob-
serving that it was one of the worst cases ho had ever known
dace he bad knows the law.
