BULLOCK, T t: tt KR UPT.
Yeuerday a meeting of the Judges rook place. at
two o'clock. to hoer trig ariorments ot Counsel upon
the points of 'saw, left tot their opinion, relative to
the case of
Tile atNo r. JAME, lIVI.LOCIL. Tee eAriKtUrr•
Mr. H01.1143Y0a On the part of the Prisoner, first
addressed their Lordships. and stated, that this
matter came befa4 •them for their opi-onn non*
certain points which hat ozeurrei upon the trial of
James Bullock, at the 01.1-Bosley hessionr, for
having aged contrary ti the Bankrupt Statutes-.
To that indictment he had four isijections to submit
to their consideration. The Seat *as, that the alle-
gation contained tbere,o, that the commission of
badkroptcy h.td issued under the Great Seal of
Great 'Britain, Was not grand, there being a Va-
riance. in that respedt, between the proof and the
indictment. In support of this position,. the
Learned Counsel quoted the eev•tral Acts of Par-
liament. viz. the 13th of Ells. ch. 7. .ea. 2 the
Sth of Anti, ch. S. einualnitig the Ankles et-Union
with Scotland, and also the AA of `lie present Ma-
jesty in 1101, containing the Art.cl4l of Union with
-Ireland, in order to show the real raisearug of the
Legislature to have been, that all deeds and com-
missions issued under the Great Seal, were, after
the first af these Unions, expressly stated to be is-
sued under the Great Seal at Great Stitaia, and,
atter the latter Union, the Great Seal of the United
Kingdom. Although the Counsel upon the other
side (Mr. Gurney) had, at the last meeting of their
Lordships. stated various Statutes passed since the
Union of the three kingdoms, in which that Seal
had been sometimes denominated the Great &al of
England. the Great Seal of great Pritain. and in
others the Great Sr al of the mpire. or the Great
Seal of the United Kitiglom, yet he (Mr. Holsoad)
held, by wh..t..2ver names it was called in Statutes.
that it coital not vary the thing itself, as Citrus
only looked to what the Legislature meant to
express. althaegh construed, in various instances,
incorredly. le cases. however, where any allega-
tion was to be given in au indiament, dr stated in
writing, is any solemn instrument us deed, or in any
pleading, it was absolutely necessary that it should
be correctly started and crialy proved. It was
enough that the strews by which a commission of
bankruptcy issued, required it to be under the Great
Seal of the United Kingdom, in order to give it
; and upon this ground this material allega-
tion, cootained in the present indidrnent. was not
proved. •ss the commission itself would not have
been valid, had it not been issued under the Great
Seal of the United Kingdom, the Lord Chanzellne
himself having no power to issue it under a seal of
any separate part of His Majesty's dominiens.—
The second objection wai, that upon this trial there
appeared to be an all of bankruptcy prior to the
petitioning creditor's debt. while. by the statute of
George 11. a bankrupt was only to be discharged
from such debts as were incurred at the time he
became bankrupt, i. r. by committing an all of
bankruptcy. and not from any that accrued sub-
sequently thereto. No debts could be proved
under that commission, except those previous to
the ad of bankruptcy; and no eirittur would
be relieved under that commission. "wept upon
debts existing at the time he became bank-
rupt. He submitted, therefore, that Mr. Bul-
lock became Imakrupt at the time the first aft of
bankruptcy was committed. In support of this
argument he cited several cases. His third ab-
jection was, that this Mr. Bullock was Dot duly
or regularly declared a bankrupt. as stated in the
indictment ; the aft of bankruptcy having bees
proved before the Commissioners. upon the evidence
of an incompetent witness, or one who being him-
self a creditor, was thereinto interested. He sub-
mitted, that in proofs of this nature. the statute did
not authorize Commissioners to receive the testi-
mony of any witnesses that would not have bees
competent in Courta of Justice, as the proof in tea
gard to ads of bankruptcy woe merely for the pair.

last oblation he had tourge on behalf of thisunfortti-
Date person was, that the Commission declaring him
a Bankript. had not been duly stamped ; an ob-
. jettiln, which, although he himself formerly felt
inclined to wave, yet out of dMerence to Mr. But.
lock and others, who advised him, he thought it his
duty to submit to their Lordship: consideratims
He understood, that ut-..n the Commission, there
was a trehle six-penny "ramp. according to an old
aft in 1626, w..ereas a chairs, in two subsequent
ells, the 32d of Giro. II ch. 13. and Alt 23, Geo.
111. chap. l$ and ill, seemed to impose a duty of
Ss. upon all such deeds or mandates, as issue out of
the Courts of West.ninster These were the grounds
he had to orlonit on betelf of this unfortunate, indi-
vidual, no .+ under sentence of death ; and he hoped
they would have their due weight with • their Lord-
ships, in giving that opinion which was to deter•
mice hie Jonas.
Mr. GURNEY, nn behalf of the promention, ar-
gued, that as to the first of these objeCtions, there
was no foundation for it whatever, as there could
be no greater reason why the Great Seal should be
more accurately described in the ludiettneot in
question, or in any other deed, dues in the several
Acts of Parliament that had passed since the Union
of the Three Kingdoms. As he had formerly sub-
/flitted the various denominations under which it
went, ki no less than test snbseltrent statutes, he
should tee •atretheiy stria upon this point. These
were statutes tiodEr which persons had not only
.been triad, butaemences wee osecuted, and if in any
of these cases. as well as in this one, it had been called
only the •• Great Seal," it wnulJ have been stiffi-
eimis ;no that the calling it the •n Great Seal of Great
Britain" was wholly unnecessary. These Aas of
Parliament, which had described the Great
Seal •In three difforent modes, were perfealy
conclusive upon Cis sublea.. As to the second
ohjation. that an at of bankruptcy was proved at
the trial to have taken place prior to the petitioning
creclitor's debt, lie should still be ►horter than upon
the former one, by iria.erving. that it was absurd to
say, that a person could be deemird a bankrupt,
merely beetuse he hod committed ao ail of bank-
ruptcy, while, at the same time, there was no proof
that lie owed a debt that could have legally
made him a bankrupt. There was, indeed, un-
questionahle proof of a framthleot docket having
been struck by the Clerk of the Attorney of the
Bankrupt himself, but it wits very wit.rtly afies-
wards withdrawn, without bring followed up by
any petitioning creditor proving his debt, so that
it was a docket of no manner of consequence.—
With respe9 to the third objection. as to Bullock
not having been regulatly declared a Bankrupt.
the commis'i• ii having issued upon the evidence
of an incompetent witness, there might be sorne
sort of argument in it, supposing that tFat formed
a material part of the alleganin of ohe india-
me ..., and that the proof of the fact bad stopped
then ; but taus was not the ease. •They were com-
pelled .0 produce evidence upon the trial as to Mr,
thiloik having been laically a bankrupt, in the
cant .sinner as it no preicif had ever been adduced
before th- Commissioners upon Coat sullea.
A Court of Justicror a Jury had seeking to do
with the proceedings of Commissioners, it being
sufficient that they were found to have judged
rightly, and to have described the Prisoner to be
what re really was. The last paint urged by Mr.
Ilideoyd was drat regarding the stamp. and to that
he (Mr. Gurney) wooid snake one very short but
conclusive .answer; which was, that there was no
statute now in force that required any stamp who:.
ever to be a tacked to a commission of bankiuotcy.
The 4►tls of the present Kiag, du 9ff, said, 'i that
wh he several stump dines upon paper and
vellum have become very nunserou, intricate, and
comolicated, and that it will tend to expedite pub-
lic business to simplify the same; it therefore en.
ado, that all these stamps aiid duties under the
CON of said Commissthners, shall cease and deter-
mine" Upon ent ground it was surely unnecessary
to look back to sterotes Upwards of a century old,
to had out whether °tie sit-pstmy duty or another
should have been used He trusted, LMNleff, re, that
