LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT or CHANCERY, liticooe.-Itial, Almost IS
&lin* MSYMOOO, in the matter of his own Sank-

rapine.
This was a Petition on behalf of the Bankrupt
praying his Lordsnip to order, that the costs and
expenses of suing out the Commission, he paid by
Mr. Joseph Jackson, the Petitioning Creditor, and
Mr. Lewis Alexander, the Agent to the Com-
mission.
The Sosectroa-Genta AL. in support of the pe-
tition, stated, that in April, 1793, one H -mming-
way delivered five Bills of i")..xchenge accepted by
the Bankrupt, to Mr. Jackson, and requested he
would obtain payment of them ; he accerdidgly de-
manded payment at the house of the Bankrupt in
London, hat he was not then at home, and very
soon after went to Halifax. These Bills were then
delivered by Jackson to Alexander, as his confiden-
tial Attorney, whom he desired to mark a writ on
them against the Bankrupt, which he 'pros ised to
do ; but on a subsequent consultation, he suggested
to Jackson, that suing out a Commission of Bank-
ruptcy wotild be much the better mode, and he,
IJacksen, might be the petitioning creditor ; but to
:this the letter ohjeete.d, absenting, that the debt
was not due to himself; Alexander, however,
replied, that did not signify, he might be
very well made the petitioning creditor, and
he. Alexander, would be very glad of the jab.
Affidavits of the debt were consequently prepared,
the Commission issued, and Jackson signed the usual
(vld. Subsequence° this; on the tith of May fol-
lowing, the son of the Bankrupt came to Jackeim,
iind produced the accounts between his father and
Hemmingwey, when it appeared the heleece due to
the terve was only 661. upon which Jackson wrote to
Alesemeer. to deliver up the bills in question to the
bearer, young Heywood, as a sufficient debt did not
then remain due. This request Alexereler refused to
comply with, till he should be paid his costs ; and
Jackson, in answer, remonstrated against such pro-
ceedings„tha t he never had any deelines with the Bank-
rupt. Alexander replied,that be was a very gone Pe-
titioningCreJitor, and would take it as a favour if he
would continue the proceedings' under the Commis-
sion. In the moeth of July last, Kemmingway and
appied to Alexander to let the Commission
fell to the around, at the same time oq-ring to pay
the full costs, and tende iag eiger dairies, As earnest,
but he persisted in co einning the pito -e tdings. In
the fullowins mouth of August, a petitipa was pre-
seated' tte told Elden, to supersede tire crimmisiien,
when it was referred to the Commissioner. to review
the proof of the Petitioning Creditor's de4t, bet they
not takine into their consideration aey new evi-
dence, made the same repent they had antecedently
done. Lord Eldon then direeled an nese to
,be
tried, as to whether Heywood was or was not a
bankrupt, and, upon that trial, Jackson, wo was
the Deiendaut, felled to prove that any debt
was due to him from the bankrupt. or any
adt of bankruptcy committed by him. Affi-
davits had been made 'by both Jackson and
Alexander en the present Occasion; bent akhoesh
they originally entertaided a strong friendship for
each other. they were now decided enemies After
some further observations, the Learne s Coqnsel, in
conclusion, said, that the nuteeser of these sort of
transisetions were unaccountable, and no effeetual
mitts could be resorted so, to preterites improper
ieqfitmissions being taken out, unless Solicitors were
Made liable to pay Cysts in such cases.
The Loan CNA ,CRLLOR said, that he hqd turned
this lubjeet in hit mind, and thq,ught, that, evert
where a bank e ispt had a commission taken out
against him, who is not a trader, but who had com-
mitted an at of bankeuptcy, tulips it was inch
a case of ntisconduS on the part. of the attorney as
to warrant him. in'att aching him, it did nut appeir
to his Coteisfii;) to be the Most constitutional mode,
when the question was betw cis the petitioning cre-
ditor and the bankrupt, to give costs against the at-
torney in this summary way, when the party could
resort to a court of law.
After a few tessera:clans from Mr. Joistiseqe, on
the same side,
Mr. Peseivee, on behalf of Mr. Jackson, took a
minute review of all the transeetions between Alex-
ander and
'passages
upon this eubjecl ; be then adverted
to 'meta passages in the affidavits of Jackson,
from which he inferred, that Alex under continued
the proceediags under the Commissioe, without the
consent of Jecksoierand tingleeleo guarantee the
expellees, through a malicious intent ; 4.. in one in-
stance, he said tole:114°1A son, 4 It is true, I urged
your fathet to continue the proceedings; hut he is
wiong to stop them. and until he chuntermands his
melees, I shell aft as his Attorney.'" At another
time, he said no tee sox cf the Bankrupt,'" What I
have begun, I will go nil with. I wanted to get
your father under my thumb, for a long tune. I
have him now, and will make him pay for it."
e Learned Counsel further observed, that he
thought this a case of such delineekeney, on the part
Of the Attorney, as that he should be made liable.
'And in answer to an observation by the Lasts
Ctteecete.oa, h= sad, the- his Lordship either had
or had not a jirisdieesa in this ca-e.
The LORD Ceemcseeoa replied, that he had,
and would not make bad use of it. The Bankrupt
m glit bring his action et law, and it was not ne-
cessary for his Lordship to exercise his jurisdtetion,
when the party had that remedy. To have jusis-
dietion w;s one thing, but to exercise it was another.
An Attorney was not in to edventageous a situa-
tion in that Count, as in a Court of Law, where he
had the benefit of cross-exammetion.
Mr. Psacive e again proceeded in his observa-
tions upon the affidavits, from which he inferred,
that it 'was evieent Alexander was perfectly aware
that he bed guaranteed the payment of the costs to
Jackson, 'and that he had admitted there was no
Petitioning Creditor's debt. In conclusion. he a; o.
I gised for pressing this subject on the Come which
he would not have done, w.ss he net couvinced, that
the administration ef public justice, in regard to
the Bankrupt Laws, very much depended upon the
conduct of the Snlicitots.
The LOkto CIIAMCELLDR, in pronouncing jedg-
meet, observed, that he felt as mush as any Judge
could feel, upen the subjeet of con reeling the many
frauds which have existed. and still do exist, suttee
pr. credings uaJer Cemmissions of !Lekreptcy. :see
he was not at all Slimmed to differ from 114

•
Predecessor on this topic, who was determined to
follow up this system of frau,l, and. With the great s 3
vigour. the punishment of the riTenier. lie did
not now sit as administering Noisy, but as a Judge
on the Bankrupt statutes. He agreed. that in some
cases, the Attorney should pay the costs, but, in die
present, there was not that criminalty 'hewn, to in.
duce him to make such order. And, an Attorney,
when he sued out a Commission of Bankruptcy was
not to have a preceding of this nature held over his
head in ter.orrne. His Lordship, therefore, ordered,
tl•at the crisis of the Commission should be defrayed
by J.iek%na, and the Bond assjgned over Co the
Banks,•nt.
