(Before Mr. Boron Mortis.)

CHARON OF PM VAT-1.N01,111H BANICIIIIPTS AND THE

SCOTCH SIHOPSTIATION ACT.

A bankrupt linendraper, Andrew Freed by name, was in-
dicted for perjury, by making a false affidavit before the
Liverpool Commustorser of Bveltruptcy in June, 1859. The
,up to the year 1852, bad canted on busincee in
l.tverpool, but having become involved, be wea, In November
of that year, declared • bank rapt. After several bearings before
the Liverpool commissioner, his examination was on March 8,
1&58, adjonraed sine die, the accounts being pronounced very
uneatiefectory. The bankrupt rdwrwattla appeared twice
before the commisei,ner on motions to rale hi• last examina-
tion, and on the lest of these occasion, tis mower to a de
elevation on oath mode by the trade assignee "that a eeques-
ration in the Bankruptcy Court of Boatload had been
annulled on the epplicatton of the b.okrupt, and by the con-
currence of 21 creditors," the prisoner made an affidavit to
this effect •` The application for aequi straiten in &lotiond
wee not male by me or with my knowledge, consent, or pro-
curement, bur by • creditor ',bribes become a creditor of mine
since I wee made • backrupt." This wee the perjury, the
fact being that the estate wee so sequestrated et the pri-
soner's con personal request; and the commissioner tbere•
fore dieulissed the motion, atd directed that a prosecution fur
perjury should be instituted.
For the defence, an objection was taken by Mr. Aspinall
(the cmosel for the prisoner) to the effect that, as the
alleged perjury did not arise upon a question which was
material to the ease before the COUISIIiiiiiOIIOI., the charge
could not be suetained. .

kits lordabip, however, ruled that irrespective of that
gueetion of materiality the present prosecution was valid;
but, in Lis opinion, the point ratted before the commimioner
was most 'smarted, ar many English bankrupts had de-
frauded their creditors by going to Scotland and getting
discharged there from their debts. If the corniniesloner be-
lieved that the bankrupt he the present case had thus
attempted to evade hie legitimate juriediction, he wee right
in showing no Indulgence lo the petitioner.
Counsel for the prisoner then argued that although he had
swum to tut untruth, he was not aware of the falsehood at
the time.

This jury, alter a brief consultation, returned a verdict of
&salty, end the prisoner W 4/ sentenced to eighteen tousitla
imprisonment, with hard labour.
In paring ermance, hie lordship severely rumored the
conduct of the prisoner in abusing the means of re•
lief which the Backruptcy Court afforded—tire, by not
giving .hat informktion as to hie estate which the interested
hie creditors dtruanded, and next by 'eking advantage of ea
enactment which he (the learned judge) hoped would sous
be altered, for toshmg could be more unjust than that there
should exist in Scotland—which owld le reached in a day's
journey from y part of this country—lhe means of relieving
• man from engagement.. and debts eoutrse•d here. Au at-
tempt was made some lima ego to deprive the Scottish marts
of this power—dm English counts having no such equivalent
junediction—but the Scottish members opposed, and euc•
ceeded is throwing out the bill. No people, however, were
more jealous than the Smirch of any unerfarance with their
preeoplirce.
