When this petition was called on.
Mr. Scones rose, and said that he did not know that it would
snake stay diligence to the bearing of the petition, but he considered

tina both against the petitioner, Mr. budinan, and against hit

' His Howotto wished to know what the petition and the affida-
vit, refereed to.
Mr. 01.11r11. in support of the petition. never beard of the

His Itosonw again desired to be Informed of the nature of the

Mr. Ot.wiew said the petition stated the hating of the commis.

about 7001. i. that Mr: Kitad agreed with the assignees to have all the

>fede,
His liostoutt inquired what the affidavits were on which the in.
dimmed' were preferred.
Mt. OLTwx said, these facts were admitted by Mr. Stialf0111;
that ied, it was admitted that he had been allowed to prove for •
reams sum than he ought to have been allowed to have proved for.
Ms. Sunnis denied this latter statement, and said the Indict-
ment against the bankrupt was preferred on almost every part of his
affidavit, which stated one of the grossest cases (If true) against his
sliest Mr. Stamford, that ever came into a Court of Justice, but
ecru statement in it was denied by several very respectable wit.
Wets.
. His BoXott a asked if Mr. Sugden had any objection to an in.
'entry into his debt.
Mr. Boopow said, there was not the slightest ground for direct-
ing sods an inquiry ; he was in posses, lon of many documents
IWZOISD by the bankrupt, admitting the justice of the full claim
which had been proved for.
His Howor a thought Mr. Glynn was bound to show the Court
Mat the amount proved for was more than Mr. S. ought to have
been permitted re prove. dM
Mt. GLYNN did not come prepared to impeach the principal,
It appeared clear from the admissions that he had proved for tntelffil
under the commission that he was not entitled to.
Mr. Storms: was bound to take the objection to the bebitasteli
affidevit that then was no date to it.
. Bestow' said, how could he be indicted on an afiiikehtffil
winch there was no date?
Mr. Roar (who was with Mr. Sugdcn) said they had consulted
their common lair Counsel upon thst point, who advised them Id

Mon concurring circumstances would support the indictment, ass.
mining the Master before whom it was swum, &c.
His Mottos: a thought it would be too hard upon the bankrupt
tut/idiot him upon an iffidavit, and at the same time to say he was
not to be allowed to read it In this Court.
. Mr. z-v opts did not wish for any such thing : he wished to
tire it read, and meant to apply to the Court to have it entered as
rod. At the same time Mr. Stamford was quite willing that
rtronnts should be taken by the Master, provided the amount of
his debt, and the amount of all the debts he had paid, was brought
ipto Court.
His Elostotra left it to the discretion of Mr. Glynn whether be

dodo the 'bankrupt to bring into Court the amount of money Me.
Sugden had just asked for, when it was remembered that Mr.
itawmfoed had the whole of the bankrupt's property in his hands at
alsonient, which was admitted to be ample, or nearly sufficient
to tegisfy every claim.
• His Howetta said, this was an order by consent, and if the
ban chose to take it, he would have to take it on such terms
