suppart of Mrs Twysdetio application.. In the first
place, they contended that the arrest was not col-
lusive:a-1m proof whatever of suck rolliasion hail
horn giber' iu Court, and the assertion Irtil.been
bully and unequivocally contradicted open oath by
Air. Twyaden I' ea'. They repelled, the idea
that any fraud had been either.. intenoleil or cont.
tuitt.d,.for the means, both and futons,
were more Onus adequate to illeet all the claims
aspen the estate. J The, else said, that Mr. Toys-
qieree rank in life and pretensions justified his ex-
penditure, mot strongly urgell'the collateral securi-
ties which the creditors had, fr the circuisistetice
of Mr. Oakley (the son of a Baronet of fortune),
uul.ll r. (heaves (the son of an Admiral),
cu•liahlc with Mr.,Twysilecifor some of the securi-
ties. The debts appeared nominally large, from
the necessity of Mr. Twriden's inserting in his
o,•ltidule the amount of alibis liahilitiee, many of
which ennobled in Ins Merely giving his mune to
li-club:by transactioos, 'in which he had no other
personal concern.
The COUIiT, in delivering its adjudication, sai;l
that this was one of these melancholy instances 'in
o Inch the heir apparent of a high and wealthy
13mile hail become involved in early life, and op-
lowed be it number of annuity creditors and claim-
rots limier post obit bowls. Th..a youne;entle-
loan hail, it appeared, ill 41 few years, incurred debts
to the misount of 19,0001. and upwards, against
which he hail set down credits to the amount of
.1.1.935/. But the melanclire !Oat of his case wes,
that many nf these credits consionol of srettritirs fur
souls won at play, amid therefore furnished serious
gntuuda fur doubting their ultimate validity for his
creditors. But time Color said that it would dis-
miss the consideration of these topics, and now coil-
. Cie itself onlely to the consider:lnm of the ahjrc-
lion
nut the ground of a colloatve arrest. It was
tiogolar, that, on looking at this part of the sub.
ji et, it should appear that the original debt, under
Inch Mr. Ambrose claimed, amounted to moult
-'451., though the. Insolvent said he owed himn 1101.
It was also very singular, on referring to the descrip-
tion of this creditor in the schedule, that it should
be inserted thus—" Mr. 7'honsits Ambrose, Gentle-
sane"—this term of Gextlemara heilig written over a
previous erasure, and the consideration given for the
debt set forth thus—" for goods in his trade."

Now, what the trade of tl:is dentlemsts was, or the
goods he dealt in, did oot appear—mid coupling
this very doubtful. description with the vi-its of
Mr. Ambrose to Mr. Twysdese, at his apartments
in the Fleet, the lust so late as yesterday, and his
eudden removal out of Court this day, when the
Counsel fur the opposing creditor had called hint
I4N a witness to explsin the nature of his transac-
tions with Mr. Twysden--all these things unfor-
tunately left the Court no other alternative than
that of comluding that there subsisted between
3lr. Tiv)srien and Mr. Ambrose such an Mier-
eourse and intimacy, as justified and supported the
opinion, taking the whole together, thiit the arrest
had been 'collusive. The Petition of Mr. Twystlito
must therefore be disintswd.

Mr. PoI.LOCK then ()loaned permission for Mr.
Twyadru to Petition de novo, on the timid condi-
tions (the payment of costs), as soon as hr had been
three mouths in custody at the suit of another de-
tuning creditor, named Samuel Kettle. . .
This is the third application marafriliy. Mr.
Twyrtleii to the Court. The two forsiletNere dis-
missed, owing to some informalities its the Mode of
