LAW INTELLIGEVCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 28.

JUDGMENT.
ET-TARTE DWYER, IN RE NICHOLLS.
This was a petition from the messenger to a commission of bank-
ruptcy that had hotted, Nicholls praying that Samuel Lorimer
and Moses Attbrq might be committed to the fleet prison for a
contempt of Court, they having forcibly ejected the petitioner from
the possession of certain goods, the ploixrty of the bal.krupt
r:.d seised by him by virtue it the coromi-sion. His
Honour was of opinion that the charge of wealth made by the mes-
senger was not sufficiently answered, at.d that the defence which
Latimer and Aubrey had *et up, viz. that the property in question
did not belong to the bankrupt, but to Jar. Lorimer. was not sub-
stantiated, and he therefore should decree as prayed, and direct
that the parties should stand committed.
Mr. iIART said, that if the full coats of this application were
paid, and the messenger pm into immediate posses.sion of the
goods, he would net press for the enforcement of the order.
The V tve-Ctrascru.ou remarked, that that was the alterna-
the which be should have proposed, as it did appear that the par-
ties had acted under a mistake.
