lIVSOLVEN DEBlons'
MoMn•t. AUGUST 26.

Jerzy C►eig was opposed on her petition to be
discheiged. by Mr. Jacob Pine (as eissignee of Mts.
Bury), Hui the ground that she had not given s sa-
tisfactory account of some properly which she had
put in her schedule as belonging to her, being pert
of a copper mine in Cornwall.
Mr. Pies staled, that the books of the mine sea
counts had been searched, but no shares were en•
tered there. either in the names of Jessy Chtig, ur
Jes►y Cradock.
The Court inquited which was the losolvent'i
proper name.
She replied, that her maiden name Was Jennetta
Greig, but that she had unfortunately been matriid
to a clergyman named Cradock, who had another
wife living at the time ; after the discovery of which
event she resumed her maiden name of G►eig, sad,
instead of Jonneita, called herself Jetty Greig;
that, with respect to the mine shares, she bed paid
for them, and received a dividend on the profits,
sod had some debentures in her possession to pros*
the truth of her statement.
The Court dismissed the Petition on account
of the wrong name having been inserted in the
schedule, and from thence in the advertisement,
and directed, that if she applied to the Court again,
that she should lodge the debentures of her miuiug
shares with the proper officer of the Court.
W. Cline Grey was opposed by M►. POLLOCK,
on the part of Miss Reboot). It appeared that the
Insolvent had been a surgeon at Bristol, and after-
wards at Wivenl-oe, in Essex, where he contracted
debts ; and in January hist he came up to London,
and consulted with an attorney mimed Psrtinglon,
on the best mode of settling hie affairs*, he being
then in considerable difficulty in his pecuniary
affairs ; notwithstanding which he had tiaras a house

months, which he (Mr. Pollock) contended he could
have no reasonable expectation of being able to pay.
The Insolvent said, he had at that time an ex-
pectation of being able to sell his practice at
Wivenhoe for SON. which would have cleared him
of debt, and that then his friends would have as.
misted him ; besides which, he had let part of the
house to his cousin (Miss Craig), the Insolvent who
had just been examined, and part to Mr. Partite,.

any rent to the 1. solvent, hiving merely been iu

Mr. POLLOCK also opposed the insolvent'• die
charge on account of Messrs. Hodgkinson and
Brandram, druggists, of London, who complained
of dilatory proceedings by the Insolvent, and also
that he had assigned the whole of hi pros erty to
creditors in the country without due notice to
them. The Insultent's practice at Wivenhue was
also carried on by a person named South, who was
employed by the lusolvent, the profits therefore
ought to have been included in his schedule.
The COURT adjourned the case, in order that
the Insolvent might produce some account of the
debts collected by the trustees under the deed of
assignment, at the same lime reserviog its ultimate
judgment tin the other parts of the case.
