THE BRITISH PRESS,

meet, never once complained of 31r. (happle, whom he (Mr.
Heath) must suppose to have ascertained the character and the
probity of the insolvent, before he recommended hint to his friend
Mr. Kipling. Having stated thus much, and having shewn that
the story of the insolvent was not so )mprobable, as the evidence at
the other side was defective in proving fraud, he should leave his
client to the favourable consideration of the CAnirt.
Mr. Conituitodoner Haunts, in pronouncing the judgment that
this schedule be dismissed, oblierved, that he was unwilling to say
much, as in his judgment the insolvent's account of himself was
rebutted—his wile's fortune never being received and the very
statement id die schedule was morally and arithmetically demon-
strable to be wrong. His schedule was only an account for 24
days, and not a statement of the affairs of • man in business. It
was said that money WAS paid, and as it was, but that was dune
with a view to obtain more credit. lie (Mr. Commissioner Harris)
had examined the insolvent's books from beginning to end, and
had found that the gaoler obtained from Mr. Kipling wire the
identical goods consigned to Josephs, and the hardware of Alr.
Hardman was cor.signed to Jambs. The schedule was altirgether
incredible, and he had little doubt, tha. if Juseplts and Jacobs
were found, the three might be tried for • conspiracy.
The selitslide was then dismissed.
Mr. 11E1111, who was not in Court when the judgment was
pronounced, observed to the Court, that he considered the man, if
lie deserved it, should be punished, but that no power was con.
(erred by the Act of Parliament to dismiss the scheilule, if there
were no informality upon the face of it. The man must remain
a prisoner for life, or take the difficulty of admitting himself guilty
of perjury, tie the purpose of ascertaining his punishment.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS—At present the schedule is die-
missed, bat you can, if you please, make any motion you think
proper. We have acted on tie praenee of the Court; we have the
sanction of precedent ; but if we are wrungt the wrong cen be
amended by the proper application.
