newed. The c ~,,, utiseionent are not only sea aocertain the
bete. but to report their opinions ten the me.osurew no rosary
to prevent the future 11,1111,1, eof curb outrage.. We un-
&mend that the coatomietoioncre intend to commence their
inquiries on Monday next, and to prosecute them with rigour
and without do lay. In addition to this inveetigation, the
moot effectual inept hove been taken by government to re-
pra strong se these outrage. by the hand. A large force of
cavalry end conotabulary, natter active officer., have Mese
emeentrated at Belfast, to aid the eforta of the mayor. Two

The bankrupt kept tr37Pro;dttly-ieloon. This was the

The bankrupt, having been examined, deposed that he gave
a hOl of sale over all his edema at the sahvh in March last to
Bale mad Co., sad gave a receipt for 8621., though at the
time he only received 1601., the difference having been money
pravionaly received. Oave a warrant of attorney at the more
time se the bill of sale.

Mr. Lucas replied that they were that diacetutt agent., but
now called theowelveabealters.

Bankrupt said—Seale and Co. leaned a 8 fa against him, and
brought an action of ejectment against him in June last year.
Judgment went by default atone was put in pron. They sub-
mtly ejected him. Seale end Co. took possession in April,
1837. The bankruptcy took piece in May filed • petition in ths
Insolvent Court, when put in prison. Gave the bill of side
with no view to injure his creditors. Lived in Kensington three
Liago. There was furniture in the house, but not his.
Lived there • lady. The house was Westmoreland
Villa, Pembroke-square. Depoeited subsequently that (ar-
idity* with Mr. Tinny for 2001. Bought a table Mao •
looking-Ow, which he made the lady a present of on her
birth-day. Visa now attending to • saloon at a salary.
Maws. Seale let the saloon to his brother Frederick at a
rental of U. a week. Was then acting sa his brother's ser-
vant at • saloon, nod received • salary. Pertains were bound

members entered their names aa subecribers. Never took
10,0001. in the Doncaster week. Never kept books of the
betting .rooms. Mr. Atkins was his partner. Atkins was
now abroad. Could not say he kept any books of the re-
millets and profit& There were only two debtors in his ba-
lance sheet. It was a reedy-money trade. Ile succeeded hie
father in the saloon, Ile carried it on for many years. The
profits were upwards of 3,000 L last year, and win all accu-
rately vouched. The Doncaster rooms were merely sub-
scription rooms.
or the assignees, Mr. kilarrough offered no opposition.
The books were well kept.
An opposition wee raised on behalf of Mr. Nathan the peti-
tioning creditor, by Mr. LUCY. Ile complain' of the
bill of sale to Bea, and Co., which was in fact and in
law en act of bankruptcy. It wee fought to place Nu hen in
the same position as en ansignee. Nathan was not satisfied
w,tb the conduct of the seeignee, who had been the Amity
surgeon of poodcreet. There were now no assets. Mr.
Nathan wished to recover back the property of which Seale
and Co. had illegally obtained pourteion. fie Le'o= to
examine Seale in the first instant* with a view en
action.

On behalf of the bankrupt It was said, by Mr. Lawman,
that he offered no objection to any peoceedings which Nathan
might think fit to take. The soigne. would of coarse ex-
pect to be indemnified if an action tram brought in their sass.
To this courre Mr. Murrough raid he had not the slightest
objection. All Mr. Seale desired was the moat searching in-
vestigation.
Mr. Cannon, the official .soignee, said he ithorld certainly
object to en action being brought in his name. The trade
was an Infamous one, and he did not see that any useful pur-
pose could be poteibly secured by it.
The Cornruiieioncr said he treated Mr. Cannon's objection
with due respect.
Mr. Lucas—But tho official assign is not to stop the
Conroe of justice.
Commissioner—The offirial assignors are put in a very
peculiar position, end in a very hamrdous position.
Mr. Laces—We want to recover back the property.
Commissioner—What property f'
Mr. Lawrence—The property was sold under an execution
levied upon a warrant it attorney. The proper tourer, was
to examine all parties and take the oviuion or counsel upon
the evidence.

Commisiuner—Mr. Nathan may make any inquiry he
likes at his awn expense. I have no objection whatever to
this courts; and will grant summonses for the attendance of
witnesses.

Mr. Murrongh defended the conduct of the molgorw, who
had fairly done their duty. The que.tion wee then ruined who.
then or not upon the haLtune-mbett produced the bankrupt
eliould be allowed to pass hie teat cx.itoinetion ; and it wee
e•ntended in hie behalf that none of the flgurre in it were
contradicted, or even impuyned. It wee upon the other
bend alleged that the prefereble enures would bo to adjourn
the meeting until the moult of the propoeed examination
WWI known; and it was stated that the maignotent to Seale
and Co. was fmuduknt. There woo not now a farthing for
the creditor,, whew) only hope was the getting back the pro-
perty in question.
The Conindeeioner Paid he entertained come suspicion of
the truth of the kinkrupt's etatrmente. Guodered, Wore he
toad. the conveyance in queet ion, ought, knowing Ws jpoai-
tins, to hers placed bin affair. in the bend. of hie creditors.
lie would therefore adjourn the Let examination to Thum-
dey, October 29, at I ...cluck.
Adjourned accordingly.

par his numerous creditors.
Mr. Sargood mole an appeal to tho court on account of the
ineolvene. state of health, and the imprisonment he had
