could not get settled, nor could he get to see gam-
ford, he being a sisreack, to tic-riven Cockell term-
ed it, although he went early and lute. Early in
the month of r ebruary last, he had recoaree to the
following expedieot :—Ahout seveteti'clock in the •
morning, when it was only twidght, he sent two of
his followers td beset his house; one of them gut
upon some high steps, opposite the door, to watch
the house, while the other knocked at the doors
which was not opened ; but 111 a few mi.,utes; the
man on the steps observed the light of a camile
through the lhu-light over the dour, sad he wars

These men were cross-examined by Mr. Peak, •
when it turned out, that their conduct hail been •
wholly illegal ; for i i the warrant for arrest, under
which they hail entered the house, neither of tleir

wherever lie went. a: the men who would do such a
thing; and he had said. lila puhlicshomw, in Lan-
'caster, when lie had been titre:sled fortt, by Way of
braved!, that he would du it.
Mra.•Owea, the landlady 'Of Bamford, proved
that; slieJtad uiweys ideal of trouble in pliant!, 1t..,
rent .lle appointed her to call on a particular •
wornies, early, for her rent ; she went aceorehrig-
ly, when she was told by his servant that he was
not at home ,• Mn. Owen, however, had stroug sus
ineion to believe was ; and left a very severe
message, reinikhatail.g his conduct for appuititing
her to come, and not being ready with tile moiiey,,
and that she shout! take other means. She left the
house, and called upon a friend who resided near
the spot, and in about five minutes after she saw
Mr. 'heaped come out of his house. She passed ,
his house on the evening of the same day, when she
saw him sitting in his parlour; he spoke to her
through the window; she charged him with being •
denied to her; he did not deny it, but said it was
of no use seeing her, as he hail no money fur her.
Jaue Park, a servant to Mrs. Owen, mid, .she ,
had often beets sent by her mistress to apply to Mr.
Bamford for the payment of his rent, mud she had
greet difficulty in getting any ; she recolleeteel, on
.sir doy, when he kept a shop, she went into it, roar
the shop-lad, elm told her hi, master was at hump,
she also stew him in the parlour, through a squire of

parlour form the shop. She desired the led to take
ti message Into his master; to tell him she was come
from Mrs. Owen, for the rent. He went, and she
heard Mr. Baniffiril meet him, arA say,
hush, sty I am not at home." The let brought
that message ; when the witness replied; if his
master had intended to be denied, he should not
hare lath been seen and heard.

Upon this evidence. Boron Wood expressed Ms •
(tuition) that there had been two clear acts of bank-
niptry proved.
Mr. PARK, howeier, Mamma hie Lordship at •
coosiderahle length. and urued him very strenu-
ously not to make up his mind upon the snbjecto
till he bad heard him upwi it.. He said, a him he
sirs a Commissioner of Bankrupts, lie knew con- •
aiderithly more about such business than he did
now. He felt pwriodigy and considelably, as a
Lawyer, several material questions that nrose ont
of this business, a hieli he s:iould take the liberty
of submitting. and should he beery to hove
them settled I,y such high authority Ili le a as
then addressing; .and should bow to the dcciiion.
In the Neat plsee be did not eo•isider the case of
the bailiff"s followers an act of bankruptcy ; be-
cause they had entered the :louse without any le-
gal authority. •
His Lordship considzred Bornforrl's conduct in
this, as arading the applicaiiOn of cremators, and
missing delay. and.ssas of opinion that it was en act
of bankruptcy. ilk. Lordahip that the on- -
plisetiOn of Mrs. Owen was pat an act of bank-

feat', understood to he set up is, that the notice iu
