THE NEW GAOL DELIVERY.

The investigation by the Registrars made under
the jurisdiction of We Court of Baakruptcy was
resumed yesterday morning at the Queen's Pri-
soo, Southwark, and also at Whitecromestreet,
City. The came that came before the ap-
poiuted registrars at the Queen's Bench were of sad •
simple character as to render any detailed Donee wiseces-
eery, and of those which came under cognises= several
were adjourned, and of the others that were beard not any
discharges were ordered. At Whitecrces-street, Mr. Regis-
trar Abraball and Mr. Registrar Miller resumed their in-
quiry into the cases of those prisoner who had been
returned as in the custody of the deputy-governor on the
Ist of the present month. Mr. Remitter Alwahall went
through 24 cues. Two prisoners were adjudicated bankrupts,
sad one of them was released. The other was opposed by the
detaining creditor, and the Registrar said Maths would ex•
anise his discretionary power sod refuse the debtor's dia.
charge, upon the ground that the debt had bees fraudulently
contracted. Six cases were part heard, and then adjourned
to • future day. Mr. Registrar Miller examined 10 ewe
In the case of a woman who bad received • conditional dis-
charge from the Commissioner of the Insolvent Win, but
who alleged that she could not obey the order of the °cart,
which was to deliver up the agreement of • leads el • shop,
where her son-in-law still carried on the beanbags, as he re-
fused to give it up. the ReOtrar informed her that he
could not adjudicate her a bankrupt, or interfere in the
miter. The case of an outlaw, Major Bulkily. fonserly
of the 31st Regiment, which was part heard oa Tuesday
,
was goo, into at some length. It appeared that he had
been incarcerated Learly two years aid a half, haviag
been arrested under as attachment from the Court of
Chancery in the summer of 1859. The arrest was found,
' however, to be illegal, and he was discharged from the
attachment, but a capitol ad legalum was lodged, under
which be bad been since detained. Hie debts crigiaally
were only 5001., but the accumulation of interest
and costa bad swelled his liabilities to 1.1001.
Mr. Barclay, solicitor for the defaming creditor, °outmoded
that the Registrar could not deal with the main as defendant
was an outlaw, and outlawry was an estoppel to all civil
rights. The Registrar said he would adjudicate the care 7
loner a lankrupt, but be was of opinion that he had
no power to order his release from prison, as he was in air
Cody under • writ of ad legatum. Hs did not think that
the promise of outlawry precluded Lis being made • baakrapt,
and he would give the major every facility of appeal front
his decision on the question of his discharge. He would
immediately name a day on which he might apply to the
Court of Bankruptcy In the matter, if the major wished.
In a matter ethic* had been before the Insolvent Court ou
the let instant, the Registrar stated that under the circum.
stenos of fraud and mierepresentatioe he could not inter-

ism, and that the committal by the court for eleven months
must @tend. The Registrar also raid that he could not
give relief in the case of a man who bad been sent back by
the insolvent Court for the purpose of filing throe hooks,
and who alleged that he could not find one of the books,
but be advised him to make ► declaration to the court that
be could not find the book. In four other cases the pri•
simmers had been also before the losolverit cod Bankruptcy
Cowie, and were therefore not entitled to relief. Two
mass were adjudicated as bankrupts, and the parties re-
leased. The investigatacws will probably terminate this
day (Friday).
