In the mutter it. JACKSGIi. • Bankrupt. • .
/. Lateen. en the part of the Assignees of the
rupt, argued for the petition which had heed
ted, praying that an order of the Court might
reaed to lessrs. Boldero and Co. requiripg
e to surrender certain bonds and securities.
In
ruching the B.mkript's estate, into the hands of
he Assignees, in order to their being cancelled. A
counter-petition was ',time the Couot, on the part of
the Said Messrs.Boldero and Co.praying to be allowed
to recover on the said bonds, tinder the commit iou.
They were bonds given by Mr. Jackson, to satisfy
the balance of certain extensive money accommoda-
tions, afforded by the Petitioners, in this second
cue, who also rendeted to them (as security for ba-
!hues, that s!i sold, at any fwure time in the cur-
pot account betweina them and Mr. Jackson, be
ft• to them), a mortgage on a West India estate
Of the Bankrupt. When, however, the bankruptcy
took place, the Commissioners refused to allow
Messrs. Boldero and Co. to prove ander the Com-
-1 mission, on the ground, that the slims advanced to
lir rani:l-opt, and fix which the bonds had been i
given, had h .en i.surionsly estimated, having been ,I
calculated halt-yearly, with in:erest. By which 1
means, in each second half year, compound interest
accrued ; and Mr. Leech contended, that the bonds,
becoming thus invalidated, on the question of inte-
rest, the hollers had no rigbt to recover on their
account at all ' • for, although in an action of fp..
simpsit, the Plaintiff would recover whatever part
of his claim he proved due, in an aetion of debt on
a bond, which is an entire and special instrum-nt, if
in any one item for which the said bond is accepted,
there is error, the bond is not admissible under a
Commission of Bankruptcy, and there is no demand
at law.
Mr. Rossi LLT, on the part of the Petitioners, in
the second case, maintained, that a contrary dog
trine had obtained, and cited the case of l/ay .: tin
Fowler, in support of his argument. The chjeO . f
the petition of Me . Bolder() and Co. be s . i...
was, that the West-India securit4es, wb.. d had be n
given to thrill. might be sold ti defray money ad-
vanse4 auh.rfrestly to the transaPion of the bonds,
for 5' , )001. which wert• !!lerd to be illegal ; and
that • to whole trans dions might go before t,.e
Master for i•.eistagation.
The Loam Ca...cat. Loa said, he thought Messrs.
1 ! oldest+ and Co. ought, at any rate, to have bees,
allowed to prove, under the commission. the asi- 1
mascot mane to the Bankrupt, su atiquentli to dual
emend= of the bonds t and, as it was admitted
that eesiedsbt was incurred since thee- execution, he
direited that the Courantissiemers shoulld sell so much
of the seearifies Fathomed by Messrs. SoldTro, as
will defray their debt, due at the hot of the mart-
Pis.
