Mr. Commlesioner Murphy was of opinion that the debts
had beer incurred without reasonable moans of payment,

Used. The course pwatuid was • very ample
one. The Insolvent got 'airflow artifice into his
poreerion, which he sold under the price he agreed to give,
and had spent the proceeds. Had ho given cheques instead
of notes on the foreign bankers he should have ordered a
preecution. When the solicitor for Marrs. Doled called
on him he had three pianoforte' of that holies, and in • few
days they were got rid of. It was quite evident that the
insolvent had not the means, if ever he had any intention, of
paying for any goods he got into his possession, for by his
own admission he had never paid Is. to soy of the 36 cre-
ditors who now sppeseed on Ilia schedule. It was a cane he

Pt THE HATTER OP ;AMU 011211 T.

Thies inac4VeUl, bookseller andp
pau6l4her 13.7 i'aternoster-
row, who was on bail, was opposed by Mr. Reed for Mears.
Newton, adeertising agents, and a number of other °Mitres.
An application was made in the early part of the CYO that
Mr. Charles Young, an attorney, who had seized the Wool-
vent's property, ehonld attend, but It appearing that an ex-
ecution had been issued, and that the insolvent's brother-in-
law, Mr. Enoch Grafton, had purchased the property, and
allowed the insolvent's son to carry on the busmen, Mecum
wee ordered to proceed. A question arose as to the opposi-
tion of some of the creditors, and it appeared that several
bad agreed to oppose, and the attorney for Mr. Tipper wee
instructed on their behalf.
From a long examination it appeared that the insolvent
now owed 1,1011., and bad 162/. owing to him. His insol-
vency was attributed to the &Wag off of hie business, and
losses he had sustained. It waa alleged that he had a lose
by the pamphlet, " The Comet, will n strike the Earth," sad
to one creditor, se a compromise, he offered 4,000 Cornets"
to settle. He alleged that he wan attacked by Dr. Cum-
ming and a Mr. Collett in him educational works, and had
sustained a loss. He was bankrupt in 1832, and an another
woossion, as well u anee Insolvent In this court, and his
former debts might have amounted to 17,0001. The insol-
vent appeared to be 81, and stated that he had been confined
to his bed since he had been on bail. He had • horse and
chaise, which ho sold to his eon for 601., for which three
bills had been given. Two had been paid, and the other was
not doe. The insolvent melded In Devonshire•grove, Old
Kent-road. _ _

Irr.Oraiton proved that ho purchased the stock, &c., In
Paternoster-row, and his nephew (the insolvent's son) now
carried on his own =einem. It was his own money.
Mr. Higgins, a creditor, who had given money for the
Mlle which were to be paid out of the "Comet," was
etamined, and his evidence on the subject caused a good
deal of laughter. He said he gave his money on the in.
mimes statement as to his haulms, and the mousy Maundy
made by the " Comet."
Mr. Newton, the advertising agent, complained that the
insolvent owed him 901. for advertisements. and Mr. Clarke,
publisher, was a creditor for the lives of Robson and Red-
path. He thought the insolvent's copyrights could be made
available.

Ultimately the ow was adjourned to the 10th November,
for Mr. Young to attend, Si some of the creditors, although
the learned Commissioner said him opinion MOler that it wee •
boon fide traneettion, wished him to be exaunined.
The discharge on b• 1) wee enlarged.
