INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-VESTERDAT,

BIM= MIL COMPIISBIO2III HARIIIR.
IN ER HENRY JOYCE NEWARK.

This insolvent, whose case appeared in our paper of Satur-
day, attended to receive judgment.
Mr. Cdmisti.sioner Harris, art.r adurting to some circum-
stances which have already been reported, considered the
question whether the inaolvent had untrected the debt with
hisstepson, Mr. Elderton, by means of a breach of trust. It
Deemed that in 1842 a sum of money wu placed in his hands
for a particular purpose, a part of which he appropriated to
his own use. When he took the benefit of the act in 1841
he omitted the debt from his schedule and alleged that it

was through " inadyertence." An action was afterwards
brought against him, and he had been in execution and dis-
charged on the payment of a sum of money. The question
was whether the original deposit of the money was to be
taken as the ground of complaint on the present occasion.
He (Mr. Commissioner Harris) was of opinton that after the
discharge trots prison it (name a new transaction. Such
being the case the insolvent would be discharged, but he
would take his discharge with the worst pcsaible grace after a
former bankruptcy and insolvency.
The insolvent was accordingly discharged.
