INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTE&DAY.
Berms me Cum COMMINIONIA.
Ix TIIL MIL/Tia OF 01Boggle KENNET PoLLOCi.
This insolvent was opposed by two creditors named
Brewster and badman, the former a coach builder and the
latter a law stationer. Mr. Cooke supported.
The schedule filed in this case was somewhat voluminous.
The insolvent, en attorney, bad been engaged in mining
speculation', and to a serious fall in the woe he leased near
Bangor, in W des, he attributed his insolvency. Among the
creditors on the schedule were the insolvent's Iste father, Bir
David Pollock, and his uncle, Sir George Pollock.
The learned Commissioner, before the opposing cr. dimes
entered on their cases, investigated the schedule with some
minuteness and required information on several subjects.
Mr. Cooke said the calamity to the mine, which was a
valuable property, had caused the present appearance of Mr
Pollock before the court. Th, re were, however, well-
grounded hopes that if Mr. Pollock was spared for a few
years all his debts would he paid.
It appeared that General Sir George Pollock held a mort
gage on some property on which he bad advanced 1,4001. to
a gewleman who bad previously held a mortgage. The late
Sir Dseid Pollock end h-a executors ware creditors to 2,5001
for money advanced on the mines in Wales. The mines
were now at work and were valuable property, likely to be
very productive to the ertelitors.
Some evidence was given relative to two distresees which
had been levied on the esffivent's furniture, and the remain-
der had been given up to the officers of the court for the
creditors.
Mr. Brewster chime 1 n d:bt et 3231, and wished his debt
to b• c,rrectly steted on the schedule. Mr. Lvidenan had
supplied stationery 'o upwards of 20/., and considered that
when his debt was contracted the insolvent hod no means of

paying it.
The Court told Mr Lsilman that they could not hold
that such a debt was inc•nred without means 0 payment.
Mr. Cooke mentioned shot the mines were worth 30,0001.,
and he believed the creditors would all he paid. It was
only because some of the creditors refused time that the
present applicatino was made.
The learned Cousrnia•ior, er, at the conclusion of the case,
expressed the anxiety be had felt in the inves•ieation of the
case, eonnected as the present npploant W 29 with on. whose
loss was to all who knew him a very severe one. After all
that had occurred end the examination be had mule, he
was glad to say tnat nerhiug ►ad appeared which was at all
derogatory to the insolvent as a gentlemen and a 211.12, of
honour. The insolvent was azcoxlingly discharged.
