TO THE RDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

MR —I Railer myself that ',nor sentiments of jaatice and

of what occurred at G 101,111311 on Saturday, as is given to an

I .hogittl true answers make to ouch otiesnotio as aliould he
pot at me, add dme to the following effect :—" Mr.

Conintissiouere fur more time to prepare yourself to Onieh

. " No. Sir, I make no such regent ; I always was, and now
am, pert; city ready to soarer every question which may be
put to 'vie wider Ilasjoint commission. which, all hough it was
ihrtlltellPil for years Inane it was issued, suit was aimed
on the 19th day of December last, not one rotation ball
yet been put op me relative to the j ' t fun •s or joint debt. ;"
and is was with the inmost difficulty that I was allowed to
inform the Commissioners upon oath, that these joint d• hta,
according to the written nolowiesitou of Mr. Moseley, one of
the assignees, and Me W. G . Clrter. I;.e .olio-nor to this
' collusive joint commiseion, amounted only to 7.10 n/ 11s 441.;
aad that 11w joint funds Myra"s amounted to 7,9001 and op-
; wank, and latterly in 11,0001 and upwards.
• Mr Wrottesley said, that they could not ruler into that
subject then, being only met by adjuurameol to take my
final renomination; anti that, as I would not ink for time to

1 hoped the Commissioners would now order all the joint
1
creditors to be toad in full, except Moseley and Wet b, who
would also be paid in full so atm, as they accounted fur the
2.6001 told, due by them to Reser, Brown. and Scott. Here
i Mr. Iti'rotteeley directed the clerk to write a minute of ad-
; joursiment, and addressed himself to me as follows:
'" 3lr. Bryce, you have nu right to ask for a dividend he.
ing paid ; that application cam only he made by a creditor."
1 observed, that its virtue of my right to oh - 6,mile* of my

after the payment of all my just debts, I ilionght I had a
right to move the Cornmissi bbbb ers, that the, e joint debts
might be paid, in order Hist this collusive joint commission
might hr shell superseded.
Here Mr. Wrottesley again interposing, said, the Corn.

adding, " Mr. Bruce, you have been dealt very lemeatly
with; had we done our duty, we ple.told have sent you to
Newgate long ago, for a Nang to deliver up your separate

This was an action brought by the Plaintiff
against the Defendant, for a criminal coolversation

Mr. CHITTY opened the pleading*, and Mr.
Serjrant VatintiAN stated the case to the Jury.
The Learned Serjeai.t raid, it had fallen to his
lot to state the circumstances of this very diatresd

fortunate client, in being robbed of the wife of his
