LA IV INTELLIGENCE.

INQOISENT DEBTORS' COURT, MoNDAY, Maacu G.

't Haste♦ lirosdy Slingay :cyder, a young man of respectable
• ,stle'llol/11 and litenuy attainments, was Imposed by Mr. Wood.
a printer, on Snowhill.
appeared that among other work* which have emanated from
;,.olvent's pen. were two lately publiAcd, under the titles of
t' ;ii.'ut Deconertitiowe and Surgical Lecturer, which were print.
ed by the opposing creditor, and published by Longman and Co.
Mr. Wnodfall produced an epistolary correspondence which had
taken place between him . and the insolvent t but upon its being
read by the officer of the Court, it did not appear that there was
any thing which militated against the petitioner's application.
The principal ground of complaint appeared to be that the in.
solvent had not been emdiclt enough relative to a bookseller in the
Strand, to wheat he reared foe his. character and responsibility
and also that the lint work waa te.keh away, and the publisher
changed.
In his examination by Mr: HEATH, the ouposing creditor ad.
mined that in ennammence of non-payment the insolvent's second
publication had been partly, retained, and that the paper was sent
to the printing-office by the insolvent himself.
Mr. IleeTu said that an author had • right to change his
mutter and nubliaher if he thought proper and it should be semi_
!fired teat Mr. Woodall had exercised his right also by retaining
the impression. in comeguenct of his lien ter printing it at all
events mere was nothing like fraud io the transaction.
The Court concurred in this opinion, and ordered 6r insolvent
to be discharged forthwith.
- •

Gordon was opposed by Mr. John Taylor, a herald
painter.
• It smseared that the insolvent was, until lately, the member of a
Benefit Society, and while filling the offire of Steward, he ordered
a !owe banter to be painted, exemplifying the devices of the Ira-
truity. the atiputated price ben?, 501. The flag was executed, de.
hatred. and anwroved of by the " Brethren," but only and. star
l td nut of the 501. Hence an action war brought by the opposing
etc liter against the insolvent, for the recovery of the balance.
Mr. ommisaioner HARRIS observed that the Society would
have acted nstwe honourably if they had paid the difference. in-
v•Pa.l of suffering the Insolvent to go to prison for an act to which
t wets themselves parties.
It appeared that he had no other mode to extricate himself than
be an Tkppliestion to that Court, which pronounced him entitled to
Ir. discharge.
Mr. Cherie. Fkbaw Henderson, lately the proprieter of the
iVag's Head Tavern in Old Palace-yard, was brought up for re-
hear.r. r. he having been opposed by Mr. Pollock on a former day,
was remanded, in order to file a more satisfactory balance
sheet.
I' appeared, utvm et/mining the balance ahee sinco fill. that
the insolvent had not properly accounted for 1,11141!. which circuit.
stance wet, however, aAributed to the neglect of the attorney who
revered it.
alt. Commissioner HARRIS, after making some pointed oh-
a?•*ations relative to the negligence of sonic of the practitioners of
tl.s Court, said that neither the public nor the petitioner should be
pecuniaryeufferers. The insolvent must of necessity go back again,
bit his attorney should pay the coats of the do r.
rte final hearing was then adjourned until Friday next, the 10th
