.were due by an Insolvent noosed Matthew Jock,
and which he hail consented to pity, on condition
that Haut anti Ireuer would withdraw their oppo-
*dial' to the raid J:irle+ discliorge. The opposi-
tiou was witlithson Oil the find, of this promise on
the port of the coat, %%inch, however, was not
fulfilled after the iliseharge of the bisolveut.

31r. POLLOCK produced a counter affidavit from
the Agent, which negativvtl all the allegations in
the affidavit merle ire support of Mr. Barry's mo-
tion; but admitted that the agent, in consvoltittice
of haring heard that his %on, who acted as his
clerk, was charged with making sortie promises to
the Complainant* in this ciwe, had agreed to leave
the matter to lee adjusted by any respectable arbi-
trator, and to pay any seiu for which his son should
have been considered as responsible, according to
any expressiou he might have used.
Mr. BARRY, in reply, comer:fled, the agent would
never have made this admis%ino, if he did not con-
sider himself ►esponsible, mid that for not having
fulfilled Ins pledge, he might to be removed from
the list of agents in that Court.
Leartwd Comm tssioN rtt said, he would look
into the affidavit% at both snits, and pronounce his
al•ioiou oo &binds). next.
The discharge r•f an emaciated looking old man,
named Frost, was opposvd hr ME. Norris, on Pere-
s-id grounds, on the part of a creditor, who had
given his wife some bOulal and sfioes to sell on com-
mission.

It uppeared that the bibolvent was a tailor at
Thauira Thum', aid that !.is wife sold shoes on
comlll.l.sloll, in the profit of winch the tailor de.
el. red he had no participati tttt . His whole debts
being under the Court expresved no wish to
deal brashly with him, slier Ins endurance of four
ILOIIIIIR imprisonment, but Mr. Noll is having proved
that the apinsin.einent of his little furniture was a
fictitious one, the Insolvent was remanded, until a
e..rrect account of his trifling effects at Thames
Dittoit was returned.

In answer in griestions from the COURT, the
poor mass exiilateed, that lie had fallen into the
hail& of a fellow prisoner, who Was in the habit of
assisting persons in their applications to that Court,
and who hail conjured up (as it appeared) su sop.
praiser at Themes Ditton to value the furniture.
He gave the poor man the certificete of the value-
tiou, which alleged that it was wade by one Chace,
at Hamptutivrick, and he did all this for the mo.
dernte charge of 13s. 6d. It was clearly proved
that there OHS no such appraiser at Hamptonwick ;
and the Learned Commissioner desired the poor
n3lll to tell his fellow prisoners, on his return, flint
he was remanded because he hail intrusted his of-
fairs to this fellow, whose only object was to make
money of the ignorant and uuwart.
The Solicitor for the Suriey Institution for the
Relief of Poor Person* linprisoried for Small
WWI. promised that the necessary forms should
be complied with in this Insolvent'd case, so •s In
enable him to come op on Monday next.
W. llogarth was opposed by Mr. HEATH, on
seem.! grounds, principally for a concealment of
property, end fraudulently obtaining credit.
It appeared that the Insolvent, oho was a yoong
innir who had held a situation in the Property Tax
Office, until it was reduced, heft become embar-
rassed in his circumstances, and that sortie of his
friends had come forward and obtained a sum of
money from a gentleman whose illegitimate son he
was represented to be, to release him from his em.
barrassments. 'flue Insolvent, not wishing (as he
stated) flirt the extent of his debts should be known
to his friends, and hoping, airier he was disencum-
bered of his principal burdens, to he soon able to
clear off the remainder himself from his future ex-
pectancies, concealed from the persons who were
appointed to arrange his afai►s many debts for
which he was liable, and respecting which the
Court desired further explanation, as they appear.

and without probable means ot• puyireg them.
The ease was ordered to stand over until the MI
