Thomas MacDonald was supported by Mc. Husband,
and opposed by Mr. Anderson for several creditors. The
insolvent was a messenger in the employment of the Len-
don and North Western Railway Company, and the prin.
nine! creditor was Mr. Tnurstoae, clerk in the manager's
offal of that company. The oppotition was for money lent
by the several creditors to the insolvent. On one occasion
Mr Thurstone lent the latter £lOO, receiving £l7 1013 f
interest for six months. He also lent him £5 for an
equal period, receiving £lO interest. He lent £Bl for
six months, and received £l3 lOs interest. On the pert
of the insolvent it was st ted that the money was be rowed
for a person then in the employment of the company, who
had since abscon 'ed and lett the country. This creditor
stated, in answer to Mr. Husband, that the money he lent
was always his own, and positive'y denied that he ever-
gave one shilling of the company's money. He also denied
that he ever cha-ged 360 per cad:. interest .Mr. Husband'
Was proceeding to examine the creditor with reference to
transactions with other parties, hut His Honor declined to
go into any such question, retnerkieg, however, that
he thought the slate of things was discreditable to both the
parties concerned in the case. In answer to slr. Anderson,
the creditor sta,cd that insolvent always represeatid to
him that he had means beyond his salary, and that he kept
lodgers, by which he realised a considerable amount.
James Marshall, a constable in the employment of the
railway company, deposed that he lent insolvent £25,
which the latter told him was for a party in the employ-
ment of the company, but not the party who hai sines left
the country. He was also a security for the insolvent in
I two loan societies. In answer to Me. Husband, witness
stated that the la-gest amount he ever lent insolvent, of
his own money, was £25 He once lent him £5O of bor-
rowed money. It was harrowed from a booking clerk in
the employment of the company. Received £l5 of the
money back Did not not receive a penny of interest on
the £25. Witness said his own wages were £1 a week,
and his wife also earned money. His Honor said he did
not see the necessity for going .into these matters.
Mr. Husband said, in estimating the conduct of the
insolvent, it was right also to se what was the c
duct of these from whom 66 pppo ;lion came.
His Honour sail he quite agreed with Mr. Husband,
that the coAnct of the creditor previously examine 1, WAS
more blameable than that of the insolvent, for ha was a
person who ought to hive knows better. The insolve it
was agein placed at the bar, ant examined by Me Has-
band. He deposed that he had received in all about £3OO
fr m Mr. Thurstone, aad that Me. Toeirstone ha :l received
about £7O per annum interest. He stated that he bee-
rowel the money from Mr. Tanrstone to enable the party
already mentioned, as having left the country, to make up
his accounts. To His Honour : It was out of' pure friend.
ship ineolveut borrowed the money from that party; they
had had several bill traneacjone together before, and the
later had always paid the money hick Mr. Anderson
denied that the insolvent had ever lent any money to the
party who had left the country, and pointed to the fact
that if the insolvent had filed ris petition a few days
sooner, he could have had that party as a witness He con.
tended that the loans were oleelined fraudulently, and that
the petition ought to be dismissed. Mr. Husband addressed
the court on the pa-t of the insolvent. H's Hon° sr thought
this was a case which the Court should mark by some
expression of disapproval. Tae insolvent was iu a bid
position, bat at least one of those who opposed him was
much worse. That, however, was no reason why the
insolvent should be allowed to go free His Honour dis-
missed the petition, and remanded the insolvent for four
months from the date of the vesting order.
