SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Secondary Potter.)
JONES V. LLEWELLYN.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
of the defendant, a gasfitter, the sum of 71. 2s. for money
paid and advanced. The defendant pleaded nil debit,
and that he had been discharged under the Insolvent
Act.

Mr. Pearce, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that
in 1852 the defendant purchased a business at Kings-
land of a person named Edward•, giving a warrant of
attorney as part security. This being a negotiable se-
curity, it was subsequently assigned to Mr. Lewis for an
advance to Edwards, who afterwards consented to give
it up on the plaintiff and Llewellyn giving a joint pro-
missory note for 151. The note was accordingly given,
plaintiff paying part of it, leaving defendant to pay
the remainder. It was for the difference that the pre-
sent action was brought.

Mr. Duncan, who appeared for the defendant, cross-
examined the plaintiff to show he advanced the money
on account of a loan society of which he was part pro-
prietor, but he swore the money was his own property.
The defendant was called, and deposed that he had
taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. The plaintiff
was aware of that fact, being present when he obtained
his interim order. He denied that he ever knew the
plaintiff had been one of the securities to the note. He
had asked him if Lewis would convert the debt into a
loin.

By Mr. Pearce—He would not swear he bad not seen
a form of application for the loan in question.
The schedule was put in evidence, which showed the
debt was entered as due to the Loan-office, and not to
the plaintiff. The money was not paid by the plaintiff
on the note until after the insolvency.
Mr. Duncan contended there had been collusion be-
tween the plaintiff and Lewis—the former not signing
the note till after the insolvency—and that the defendant
never a4sented to the plaintiff signing the note in ques-
tion. It had been shown that the debt bad been in-
serted in the schedule, Lewis holding other security at
that time.
Mr. Pearce having replied, _

The jury returned a v rdict fur the defendant.
