A Hut? TO BURSTERS.

line -drapers St. Peurs Church, ard.
The complaint was that the insolvent bad made himself
liable fee a deb: esteemed by b:s wife's Meter, whereby he
had barred the claim of Mese. Bailey.
It appeared that the debt was incurred by the Insolvent's
wife's sister is the name of his wife, and he afterwards gave
two bit!, of seehaege. At the time he became security he
owed several small debts which now appeared on the sche-
dule.
Mr. Bailey, se of the arm of Meters. Bailey, opposed on
the ground that the insolvent bad no reasonable means of
paying the debt when he gave the bills of egehmge. Be-
Alit, Isis remedy was barred agaiast the sister-in law or her
husband.
Mr. Casualness Phillips investigated the cue rat tome
length, and expressed bitneelf of opinion that the insdle,:nt
had made himself liable when he had no means of
paying Messes. Bailey. Persons who became liable for other
penes most take the conetquence when they came to this
court. He should therefore refuse to appoint a day for lb.
final order, and leave the insolvent at the disposal of his
creditors for ease time to este, and sa to the point whether
the claims saint the sighs' party was barred Messrs. Bailey
would do well to take advice on the subject.
The insolvent, finding the situation in which he was I
pine, d, proposed to set aside 101. a year for his creditors, which
offer was declined, sad his ogee was adjourned sine die.
Au application was made by the Registrar (Mr. Imes)
when the insolvent might again apply, but the learned
comminioner refused to utenti,n any period, remarking that
when such a regulstion was adopted the parties kept out of
the way of their credttoes.—The ease was adjourned sine
die, end the insolvent departed without protection.
