HOWARD and GIBBS'S BANKRUPTCY.

Yesterday the Commoners agaio held a meet.

Ace, °addled!. asetill/
5A.411111 OP THE STAR INSVRANCE OF/ICE. •
Mr. James Mitchell, Secretary to the Company,
attended to prove a debt against the bankrupts'
estate, on two bills of exchange amounting to
1,1141. 14s. drawn by Mr. Mitchell, rod accepted
by the bankrupts for the premiums un policies of
ineurence issued by the Company.
Mr. Mitchell produced a book, containing a
minute of the Directors of the Company, autho-
rising Itiya„uithe Secretary to drew bills.
Mr. TRULOTB, Counsel for the Commission,
objected to the proof being rrceive.l, on the ground
that the Company was a mere association of trades-
men, and not aii incorporated Company. He then
proceeded to examine Mr. Mitchell to that point.
Who doe.s 4M cogsgsay consist of ?...About 200
persons. Iry c.wi

hers of it I—Any pews holding policies ,old
tug to sell, apd other persons being desirous to pur.
chase, on application to the Directors, and getting
their sanction for that, thty become share-holders.
Mr. TaltaLovi contended that the Company
was illegal, and expressly contrary to the Act of
George I. providing for the fortnatioo of Companies;
the .conisequeuce of Atucli on association being al-
lowed to exist would be, that if • person in-
awed with them, and sustained a loss, lie would
have to mike the whole of the share-holders De.
fenthiuts, and on the death of any one of them the
suit 'mold be abated. The present was similar to
the case of the King v. Dodd. It was impootible
that the Star Insurance Company should be allowed
to prove a debt uuder the commiiilion, us there was
tto such Company legally in existence.
Mr. MONTAGUE, Counsel fur the Star Company,
insisted that it. the deposition of Mr. Mitchell was
worded us we bare suited it, the proof ought to be
admitted.

count of the bills for which be had claimed to
prove I He answered that he had not vet, but he
lied given a party notice, when he produced the
policy he would pay ou account of the bills.
Mr.Tßpt.uve said, that the Secretary could not
be caasidered liable for the Company es they were
an illegal association, it being a serf-appointed
Society, without a charter, and if a party could not
bring au uetion against the holder of • bill, the
Secretary, as holder, could not prove under • com-
mission of bankruptcy.
Mr. MONTAGUE said that he did not think it
necessary fur him to state any authorities in the
City of Loudon to prove that Insurance Offices
were legal ; there was not an Act of the Legisla-
ture that said individual* could not associate them-
selves into a Society for a virtuous purpose; the
Act alluded to by his Learned Friend was to pre-
vent Societies for vicious purposes. He could not
slate his opinion better on this subject than by re-
ferring the Commissioners to a book which he had
written during his professional study on the Low
of Partnership. If it was necessary to refer to the
case of the King v. Dodd, it would be found in
the gth of East's Reports. It was true that the
statute had slept for a considerable time, and when
the case of the King v. Dodd came before Lord
Ellenborough, he laid u strong hand on it, but
said that it must be 'hewn that the Company had
united for a bad purpose before cooviction could
take place, as they bed the right to unite for •
proper purpose. The case of the King v. Webb
was also in point, and under thaw consideratitsits
there could be no doubt but the Secretary ought to
be allowed to prove, as the bolder of the bills.
Mr. TassLova replied.
The Commissions:as gave their opinion that the
debt ought to be allowed to be proved.
Mr. Mitchell's proof was accordingly received.
MR. CARROLL'S CLAIM.
Mr. MONTAGUE requested that Mr. Carroll
should be permitted to prove his debt for 13.4701.
on three bills of exchange accepted by the Bank-
rupt..
Mr. TitEilLOvE said, that on the last examination
of Mr. Carroll on this subject, he had declined to
answer a question which had beets put to him,
which made it necessary that it should be put again
to him:

On Monday se' ght the Rev. THOMAS Wit..

on which occasion upwards of 100 gentlemen and
respectable inhabitants of the town und neighbour-
hood partook of a sumptuous entertainment (pro-
vided by Mr. PHILLIPS, of the Old Golden Lion
pun) in the Town Hall. Among the numerous and
respectable com puny were Sir CHAS. Mo aG A N, M.P.
W. A. MADoCKs, Esq. M.P, GNOMON MORGAN,
EN, M.P., and the Rev. CANON WILLIAMS, of
Abercamlais. In the course of the evening the
party were much delighted with the urbanity, atten-
tion, and hospitality of the Rev. THOMAS WIL-
LIAMS, the Bailiff, as Chairman ; and much plea-
sure was experienced on Me. Maw:ices announc-
ing to the guests that the Eisteddfod will be held
at Brecon next summer, under the auspices of Sir
Cu Anus Moittia N. The evening passed with great
hilarity, and after a long list of constitutional and
other toasts, the company separated in great mirth
and good humour.
The Members of the Tewkesbury Prince Regent
Survivorship Society dined together on Monday
de'nnight, at the Swan Inn, to celebrate the ter-
mination of the period for which it was established.
This Society originally eonsisted of twenty mem-
bers, who agreed to contribute 31. quarterly to a
fund for ten years, at the expiration of which the
principal and interest were to he divided amongst
the surviving members ; and it is stonewhat singu-
lar, that only one out of twenty should have died
within the period of ten years, although many of
them were far advanced in life when they entered.
The same conviviality and harmony pervaded this
final meeting which had alinually distinguished the
friendly merlins of this most respectable Society.

Q. On a former day you were asked the follow-
ing question : Was there not a loan account be-
tween you and the Bankrupts, which war generally
balanced every three months ? to which you an-
swered, There is an old account subsisting, but
which has nothing to do with my present claim.—
On being then asked when that account was ba-
lanced. you at first declined to answer, but after-
wards said you had no recollection of the time, but
that you might probably bring it to your know-
lege by a relerence to your books and papers. Are
you now prepared to answer that question?
Mr. MONTAGUE, Counsel for Mr. Carroll, sub-
mitted to the Commissioners, that the Learned
Counsel in support of the Commission had no right
to put such a question to his (Mr. Mentague'r)
client. This war not his own opinion, for if
it war, he was afraid the Learned Commissioners
would think hint tire►ome—lie knowing, although
they had not expressed it, that they differed with
him in opinion on the subject ; it was the advice of
persons to his client, *lto were more able to advise
him than he was. It certainly was a question of great
importance to the commercial world, cud he knew

'well a y .ue.tion as this, where the commercial
i ulntweorestd ba the country was concerned, he thought
it
only right to have the opinion of the
Great Seal .11 it.
Mr. TREK LOVZ said the amount of what hod
fallen from his Learned Friend, Mr. Montague.
was, that M r. Carroll's legal advisers had ad-
vised him the t the Coasniiiisioners opinion was
wrong, and that' he ought not to be pressed to gn-
awer the ipte,tha a. It was the first time he lied
ever heard that a Court formed of Commissioners.
or any other body . were to be guided by the opi-
nion of legal advis 'era, who sat no one knew where.
He had always nude istood that Commissioners form-
ed their opinion up, us the argument of Counsel on
the law of the case, o of on the advice of Counsel oat
of doors. However -espectable they might be, and
how high their opiniot is might be considered, taariss
Commissioners could not recognise them witilen
they were before them. It was unnecessary forltl
to labour to chew ho w important it was that the
question put should be answered. Mr. Carrelt ad-
milted by his answers ;that there was an account
existing. How were the I 7.01112111114101/elll to know but
the bills which be wished to prove did not foim one
of the items of that recut tot? and if he was allowed
to prove this item, he sit sight go on proving etery
item of his @casuist with the bankrupts, without
he was obliged to answer respecting it iu the first
instance.
Mr. F. POLLOCK followed, and protested against
the• Commissioners giving say weight to what hod
been said by his Learned Friend, Mr. Moo
as to the opinion of Contact,. which might lave
very properly taken by Mr. Carroll ; but they had!
not stated their opinions before them. He was con-
vinced that when his Learnt d Friend alluded to
those opinions, which they kut tw uothing of, that ho,
done it because he could not find an argument;
against what he supposed wotild be the opmion
the Commissioners. Mr. Corm ll had come there to
prove a lar • debt on three big s of exchange me-
. . .

by

_urge ,
cepted by the bankrupts, and admitted there was
a sub►isting account between them, but refused to
say when it was balanced. He c•9iiteiided, there.
fore, that before lie was admitted to prove, the
Commissioners were bouud to decide whether he,
Mr. Carroll, was a debtor or a creditor out that
account : for if he was a debtor lie had no right to
prove under the commission on the three bills, and
how were they to decide whether he war a debtor ur
a creditor when be refused to be examined, or to
go into that account ?
Mr. MONTAGUE replied.
The Commissioners slated, they were of opinion
that Mr. Carroll ought to ■u►wer the question.
They did not see any difficulty in coining to this
decision, as the Legirlature had expounded it when
it gave the lower to the Commissioners by the 48th
section of the Act of George 11. to examine the ac-
counts between the person proving and the bank-
rupt's estate, and to strike ■ balance ; therefore,
they were of opinion that Mr. Carroll had a right
to answer, and to give an explanation of all the deal-
ings between him arid the Bankrupt•.
Mr. MONTAGUE then informed the Commie-
sioners it was the intention of Mr. Carroll to appeal
to the Lord Chancellor against their decision; and
that lie would on Saturday next move the Commis-
sioners, that the meeting for the choice of assignees
should be postponed until the decision of the Lord
Chancellor on the appeal was known.
The Solicitor of Mr. Carroll applied for a copy
of the proceedings under the commission.
The Commissioners said, they had not made up
their minds whether they ought to grant them or
not; but if he would apply to them to-morrow,
they would give him a direct answer.
Mr. TILESLOTE observed, that Mr. Carroll had
not said whether he would or would not answer the
question which Ise hail pot to him, and it was
necessary that it should be entered on the pro-
ceedings.
Mr. Carroll thought the Learned Gentlenrin
ought to have mentioned this subject before Mr.
Montague left the Court, as he entirely acted un-
der his advice ; he was willing, however, to give any
answer that the Commissioners thought he ought.
The Commissioners were of opinion that it was
unnecessary that any answer of Mr. Carroll's should
be entered on the proceedings, as they were of opi-
nion he ought to answer, and that was appealed
from.
Mr. Carroll said, he had no objection to say that
he refused to answer, for the reasons he had before
stated.
'Mu answer was entered.
The meeting was then adjourned, and the next
meeting dud for Saturday.
