sults as regards the navigation of the port of London, and

Thwet, wu opposed by Mr. Dowse for Mews. Brook end
Merton, on th. ground that he had been collueively wrested.
Be was supported by Mr. Co...ke.
It was admitted that the arrest war • friendly one. The
question was whether he had been taken to prieo• on a bock
haw debt. Ail the creditors 'reified in the county, and •
short time back the insolvdit came to Lot dmt to be arrested,
in order to gin up his property for all his creditors instead
of allowing the same to be taken wider an esecetion, issued
by the opposing erediton. There wu now about 70i. in
court for the general body of the creditors. The case stood
o'er until this morning to die soot. accounts and the point
was whether the court would allow the pedtion to be sus-
tained oe each an arrest.

Mr Commissioner Phillips was satisfied that the debt
existed ow which the insolvent bad been arrested. The
court would allow friendly arrest, especially ia cuss ware
pr. pent was given up far the general benefit of the credi-
tors. la thi ease then wee MK is court, and the opposing
creditors, instead of obtaining the whole, wield have their
share with the other creditors.
The court oldered the insolvent to be discharged.
