W. 0. Planitexamined by Mr. POLLOCK-1 was employed by
the insolvent four years ago; the debt then contracted has been
discharged. He employed me in 1823, to erect two rooms at the
back of his house. Whilst the work was being it:rented, he told
ate, that he was entitled to a considerable sum of money through
his wife—he said to 7ilol. or COO!. and that the money was in
Chancery. He said ha depended on this expectancy to pay the ex•
penaes of the building. It lie had not told me this, 1 should not

expectancy amounted to several hundred pounds, when it appeared
by the schedule it did not exceed 1001.
Mr. Cominuisioner Law said, that to bring the case within
