INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—JAN. 17.
(Before Mr. Co.-'-iesioser Murphy.)
IN St JAI I. ZACIIIOII.

This case, which was before reported, again came on fee
hearing.
Mr. dargood opposed for the Chamberlain of the City of
London (Mr. Stott).
The insolvent was one of three enrollee to Wilson's Cha-
rity foe a loan of 3001. All the parties had failed, and three
had petitioned the court. The insolvent had an annuity
under his Lamed will, charged, he said, on a house in which
be resided, and his insolvency would create • forfeiture
of the annuity.
Since the former bearing • copy of the father's will had
been procured ; and Mr. 800tt (the Chamberlain) farther
OPPF•sd•
mr. &mod informed the wart that the annuity was 3001,
and not 801., as repreeented by the insolvent, and that it was
charged on all the freehold property of the testator. There
wee • provision that the annuity should be forfeited on bank-
ruptcy or insolvency, but it was to pass to the inaolvent's
wife. The court would probably require some farther In-
formation, and require the insolvent to make some ensues-
meat with the Chamberlain for the payment of the 3001.
obtained. The insolvent was the only person out of the four
who had any property, and Mr. Scott felt it his duty, on
behalf of the property, to oppose in the case.
Mr. Commiesioner Murpvy was clearly of opion that the
tosolvert should do something for the Chamberlain. A man
was not to become security for another person, and then to
object to pay the money. Such an act was dishonest, and the
settlement of the property on his wife was not to be allowed
to pass unnoticed.
The insolvent alleged that he was unab:e to pay the money.
The learned Commissioner assured him that unless he did
something to pay be would not be relieved.
Mr. ilargooet said the insolvent sad his wife could under-
take to pay 201. a year towards the liquidation of the claim of
the City of Landon.
His Honour required further information, and requested the
insolvent to make a proposal to pay the Chamberlain.
The case was adjourned, and the Insolvent remanded to
prison.
