INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—APRIL 1. I
(Before Yr. Commisaioner Murphy.)
IN TUC WAITER 07 AVOUSITO FOCOCI.
The insolvent, an elderly man, who was before the court
in Noveniber, appeared for adjudication. He bad formerly ,
been Nadal" of • cemeter company.
Mr. Dowse °Freed feey
Mr. Timewell, tailor, in Doke-
rtrect, St. James • ; and Mr. Reed supported.
The complaint was that the insolvent had swindled Mr.
Timewell out of 1301. in mosey. lie had dealt with this
creditor and owed bim a debt for clothes. One day in the
year 11145, he suddenly came tato the shop, saying that his
boy" was to haves commadon friths army, and he wanted
1301. to complete the porches, money, which wee to be forth-
with lodged at the Herse-Onerds. Mr. Thema believing
the statement, borrowed the money for the insolvent, which
he had to repay. The money was not lodged at the Horse-
Oneida, but with an °Meer who kept It in pert payment of a
debt the insolvent owed him. Soon altar the insolvent got
the money he left London, and assumed a different name.
He had visited several places, and shortly before the she
years expired, which would have barred the debt by the
statute of limitation, ho was served with • copy of a writ and
had plaided to the action, putting the creditor, in addition to
the loss of Ws debt of 1301. money advanced, and a further
debt for clothes, to about 301. law expenses. On the former
occasion he was required to amend his schedule and he
had added a number of creditors. Sineshe obtained the
money of Mr. Timewell be had married • amend time, and
realised • considerable sum by his interest on his first
marriage, • part of which he had spent to himself. He had
been in prison since May, and although he was baud in
November, he had preferred staying in prima to appearing
for adjudication until to-day.
Mr. CommMsioner Murphy told him it had been urged in
mitigation by his counsel that he had been 11 months in
prison, but a great deal of that time depended on himself.
Ile had, as by anticipation, stopped in prison, and had
enjoyed the facile and ;dement side to the portion allotted to
remanded debtors. Be (the Commissioner) considered that
the present wee the most patent act of swindling that had
come before him in the administration of the law of this court,
, and one he was bound to mark by a judgment which would
extend the imprisonment from May over a period of 15
months. Hie Honour gave • judgment of 10 calendar
months for the fraud from the vesting order in October.
