INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.-IDLY 7.

(Before Mr.

Murphy.)

IX SE TIIOMAS SOISEXT CIIARLE3

This was a novel case. application was by the insol-
vent under the Protection Act to be discharged from custody
under the 6th section of the 7 end 8 Wirt., and for his interim
order to be heard. lie wee In "custody" at hie own home.
No. 3, Cambridge-terrsoe, llyde-park, being too ill to be

tranvia to ytwai. - -
Mr. Rea oppnrd for Mmes. Sewell, linendrapere, and
Mr. Lewis (Lowts and Lewis) for a creditor named Wat-
son. Mr. Sargood (instructed by Mr. 0. Atkinson) sup-
ported the application.
The fleet point relied was, whether the application could
be entertained in the shame of the insolvent, and whether
be could apply. under the circurn-toners. for Lin discharge.
It was alkyd in opposition that the application for the dis
charge wee mode in relief of the sheriff, nd until the insol-
vent appeared several questions as to tbelichedule could not
be decided. On the thee hand it was urged that the insol-
vent was actually in "custody" In his own house, sod the
court multi great the application and relieve hint front the
presence of the sheriff's officers.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy was of opinion that he had ju-

riediction to entertain the application.
A question was then mimed as to a residence of six months
to enable the insolvent to petition under the Protection Act.
It appeared from the evidence of a female servant of the in-
solvent named Biggs that the insolvent loft Cambridge-
temce in October, and ales went with Mee. Hinsdale to
Antwerp on the Ilth February, and returned with her tau-
ter on the following day.
It was contended that them had been no continuous six
months' residence within the meaning of the act, and there-
fore the court had no jurisdiction. Several authorities in
aa Mscraes Second FAition of the Law end Practice of Insol-
vency In Protection Cases" were quoted,
Mr. COMMISBiODCT Murphy referred to Mr. Macraes book,
and consulted the Chief Commissioner, having previously
expressed his opinion that a continuous residence did not
moan that a man should not leave tho country, or a Queen's
messenger or commission agent never could petition The
fact war that the ins decries domicile was where his family
lived, and that wee to be considered hie residenee. The
learned Commla.inner consulted the Chief Commissioner,
who coacuned in the rice' he had taken. There was, how-
ever, another question in the ClLse which might give a twist
to the residence, and that was whether the insolvent bad left
fur Antwerp to ovoid his creditors.
The female Biggs was recalled, and elated that in October
her master left by the area stelae, and he bold her he had
been served with a writ, and wee going to Antwerp till be
eonld strange.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy. offered an adjournment for an
affidavit from the insolvent in contradiction, which well not
payed, and then gave bin opinion that where a man left to
avoid his creditor there was a break in the residence which
trot the are out of the six months' residence within the
district of the court. He therefore had no jurisdiction, and
the petition must be dismissed.
The petition was accordingly dismissed.
