COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YrasziwAY.

There was a meeting for the pr fol of debts and eln ice of
anignees in the matter of Thomas Greenhow and Captain
Fares, rectifying distillers, of Old-street The failure is not
a heavy one ; the liabilities are said to be about 2,0001.
Messrs. Lowrance and Plews were the ooliciton under the
bankruptcy.
Mr. Lucas supported a proof tendtrcd by Mr. B. West,
bookbinder, of St. John-street, Cletkenwell, for 1,7101.,
1.000/. of which was advanced by him while in partnership
with Orsenhow, under the firm of Greenhow and Co., and
was secured by three promissory notes for 3331. 6, Bd. each,
given by Oreenhow and Foster at the commencement of
their partner hip in September, 1847, the remainder, the
value of Mr. West's interest in the busine ts, to be paid by
stir ual inst ilmente of 881. each. which were secured by deed.
The three promissory notes were made paysble on the 30th
September in 1852, 1854, and 1856 respectively, and were
rehearsed in the deed eecuricg the payment of the 8801. by
the new partnership. The provability of such a debt had
been fully establiehed by the decision in " Parker v. Rams-
bottom and °then" (3 B. and C
Mr. Lawrence objected to the proof, because the deed gave
the creditor a lien on the partnership property ; and unless
this security were surrendered he child not prove.
Mr. Lucas consenting to the surrender,
Mr. Lawrence farther objected that Mr. West was stilt a
partner, there having been no legal disovlution. The firm
was still " Oreenhow and C 0.," the same as it hal been
when Mr. West was a partner. There were also debts still due
from the old firm; consequently Mr. West Gould not prove
in competition with his own creditors. A further abjection
was, that the whole transaction had been eased on mien pre-
sentation, the firm being inslivent at the time to the efreut
of 8001.

The Commissioner—That will not invalidate it, unless you
could prove actual fraud.
lir. Lawrence would not impute fraud to Mr. West, hut
was prepared to show there had been great misrepresentation
as to the wets of the firm. Book debts had ben put down
at 1,1201, which had not realised half the sum; besides
4641. duo from Oreenbow himself. He would suggest that
the proof should stand adjourned till the partnership trans-
actioas were investigated, as it was clear Mr. West could not
be appointed assignee under the circumstances.
Mr. Lucas contended that there was not the slightest
ground for imputing fraud, and said that the dissolution of
the old partnership was complete and binding, although it
had not been gasetted.
His Honour doubted whether sufficient had been done to
make the dissolution known to third parties, some of whom
were still creditors of the old firm. Consideriog the p slam
in which Mr. West stood, it would be better for him not to
have • 'oleo in the choke.

Ultimately the proof ;as adjourned, and Mr. Jas.Warren,
wine and apwit merchant, of Wit!brook, was appointed trade
Amiga. N.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YEaTEADAY.

Ix TRH MATtill or TllOlll4lll WEMTWORTH.
This insolvent, who was discharged under the act in Fe-
bracry last, now made hie appearance under the Protection
statute. He was opposed by Tt.omu Foulkes, a bill dig-
waster, and supported by Mr. Nichols.
It appeared that the utsolvent, who was a cowkeeper at
Camberwell, had since his recent discharge dabbled in bill
transactions and got involved.
Foulkes now charged him with having ooneealed some
property under his former insolvency, or, as be phrased it
" put it away." ,
The insolvent admitted that he had " put away some pro-
perty " when he last took the benefit of the set, and declared
that Foulkes knew all about it.
Foulkes stated that he knew nothing about the concealed
property until after the insolvent was discharged.
- Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that the Pro-
tendon Act was not intended for suck a nose. Here was •
man who, by hie confession, admitted that ha bad perjured
himself when he last took the benefit of the act. How
ostlercould he say that such a person was entitled to have a fleet

Dlr. Nichols admitted that the insolvent had put himself
out of soon. He would merely observe that the offence wee
committed under the former, and not under the present pe-
tition. He would prefer having the petition dismissed to an
adjournment sine die.
The learned Commissioner accordingly &mimed the pe-
tition.
