charged.
... Thema, Miles, a miller, was opposed by Mr.
r-ou,oce. on the port of Mears. Giles, and by Mr.
Hills, *outlier creditor, iu person.
From the evidence of Mr. Hill., and the exami.
metiers of the Insolvent% it approved. that he had
only transacted beelines in the corn-market. et
Mark-lime. for the space of len months ; he began
with nu capital. and ass upwards of 11.0001. de-
learnt. which he accouuted for by losses on the
dour he lied sold within that period, being et the
rate of lit.. per sack. and 4701., an old debt due
to his brother-in-is*, at Rochester, where he had
been in business before he came to Leodum, which
be hod paid.

The insolvent called the miller who ground the
coin fur him to prove that he was charged two or
three shillings per quarter more than the regular
market prier of the day.
The COURT ...onside-et, the case so pregnant
with suspicious reteuinstantvar IS to warrant it in
conclading that property wa■ concealed some-
wherer and orde►ed the Insolvent to be remanded
for twelve months.

Robert Hamilton, • Lieutenant on the half-pay.
of the 61st regiment of foot, was opposed by Mr.
John George Dellniger and Mr. Shuter.
The following filet.' appeared on the examination
of' 'the LisuNeut. uosi from the evidence of Mr.
Dellinger and Mr. Shuter :—The Insolvent was
acquainted with a Mr. Richards, who pretended to
have a reversionary interest in some property in
Wales to the value of 8,0001. or 10.0001. The
Isisolvesst at his solicitation was induced to draw
bills to the amount of 8,0001. on Richards, who
was. through the agency of a third person. to get
goods on the bills, which were to be turned into
cash ; but it *wren understanding between Ilse pure
sits that the drawer of the bills was not to be
looked to for the psysueut, the real security being
considered the Welsh property to which Mr.
Richards wag supposed to be entitled, sod which
wad by deed bound fur the payment. of the hills.
To that deed Mr. Dellinger, one of the opposing
creditors, was a trustee. Vl'heit bills to the swuuut
1,1001. had been negociaied, the insolvent discover-
ed that Ills friend Mr. Richards had been some
time before discharged froru the King'. Bench
prison under the insolvent Act, and that his rever-
sionsiy interests it. the Welsh property were then
assigned to his assignee's. Immediately on dis-
covering that he informed Mr. Dellinger of it, and
was so fortunate as to get beck all the bills to which
his name hail been affixed except to the amount of
1,5001. ; 5001. of which bills were now in the hands
of Mr. Dattieger, who had given hats for them to
the agents of Mr. Richards, mid on them the In-
rolvent's discharge was now opposed by Mr. Pol-
lock on the part of Mr. Dellinger.
Mr. Dowt.t so opposed the Isisolvent's discharge
on the part of Mr. Shuter, from whose evidence it
'mirrored that he war recommended to the linsolvelit
to act as his attorney in a suit which had been com-
menced against hint, and on his represeutiug that
he was in expectation of 'reviving 1,0001. in a day
or two, and requesting he would pay the debt and
costs fat him. he (4r. Stutter) accordingly did pay
them, amounting to 391. 15e., but had since been
repaid with promises only.
A letter of the Insulvaut's was put in and read in
corroboration of Mr. Shuter's stistemeut.
The lusolvent. oil his reanimation. denied that
he had requested Mr. Shuter to pay the money fur
him, though he admitted that he had stated to him
that he expected to receive a large sum in a few
days. He also stated that lie had offered since to
pay Mr. Shuter 201. in port, and give hint security
fur the residue of his debt.
Ott his cross-exasniustion by Mr. Dowttan. he
admitted that the money lie expected to receive
was 1,000/. which Mr. Richards was to lehd bin
011 his personal security. out of the money raised on
the 8,000/. bills drawn, but that in fact he was de-
ceived by Richards.
Mr. PoLLocz addressed the Court in support of
Mr. Dellinger's opposition.
Mr. DOWLING remarked on the extreme impro-
bability of the story told by the Insolvent as to the
transaction with Mr. Shute.., and contended, that
even admitting that account tit be correct, could
the Insolvent', expectation of means to dist:hark,
the debt due to his client be deemed " reasonable
expectations" within thi meaning of the Act ?
Mr. Movie addressed' the Court on the behalf
of the Insolvent, sod couteeded that notliiiig had
appeared which glove Mr:'Llelliuger a shadow of
right to oppose his dischetge. As to Mr. Shuter's
claim, though there was ieduuhtedly some difference
in the account given by, that Gentlemen 'aud by his
client, yet (rum the worn:4 of letter which hail
beets read, it did appear a 'him that Mr. Shute,
was mistaken.
The COURT was of opinion, that. as regarded
Mr. Dallioger, he was so fully cognisant of the
origin of the transaction oat which the bills he held
were drawn, that he was precluded from urging any
'abjection% to the Insolertisre discharge. With re-
"ipect to Mr. Shutt'', the Court considered 'bat be
bad acted under a tiisrepresentatiou when he tid-
'educed the money for the Insolvent'. use; but even
'hod every thing been truly stated, the Cuust could
soot, under all the circumstances, consider that the
menus looked to were to be considered " probable
mewls," agreeably to the iutentiois of the Act of
-Perlistnent. The Court therefore ordered, that lie
'should not be discharged out of custody at the suit
of Mr. Shutter fur six mouths from the day of
his petition.
