iNcame a bankrupt before the bills were due. At
the tiose of 1818, the Imolvent received from

Mess►s. Morgan sod Co. several bills to get dos-
.

Morgan and• Co. checks on a hanking•huuse (poet
dated, *we L'udrrstood,) for the amount. Wfien
one of these checks was nearly due, he applied to
Morgan sod Co. for a.respite, which they granted;
Anil when the renewed term was expired he sgaiii

rtpielded further time, which they were not able to

'there were no edicts to meet it; and in cootie-

life of the 'lnsolvent, he would forbear to press too
Ivirdly oil the attention of the Court the sum ad-
mitted in the schedule to have been expended by
Sir Matthew Bboxisen since ins arrest, although it
did to him appear to be rather too much for au Iti-
tavern man. Perhaps. howiver. the Court would
think that some part of the 4001. per annum. which
Sir Matthew was receiving from his sjtastion of

Mr. 0. POLLO44, for the Insolvent, stated, that
the cheek for 3001-was paid, as was also the bill for
1001. at one month, when it' became due. They
now complained of a breach of agree►urut in not
taking up the non; on receipt of the money Irtau
Treasury, mitl yet at the time they had accepted
the payment of the 1001. as if the agreement had
not been broken. He contended that this latter
circumstance amounted to a waver of objection ou
the ground of the breach of agreement.
M r,

fi•itaas concurred in that
opinion, and added, that the rxeipt of the money

proved the prot4e to have been good at the time
whe'si it was made.
Mr. BANNATTNE then proceeded to oppose the

two 1).11s to get discrointed, amounting to 668/. of
which he paid Mr. Day 2001. Nod applied the rest
to his OMI use. Mr. Day lied, like the other cre-
ditors, consented to takesthe Insolvent's prontisso►y
notes, at six, Moe, and twelve months, for the re-
mainder of ins claim. but they had not hrto paid.
He had then a note from Sir Matthew Bloxliam to
his sun, ordering him, out of the remaiwder of the
proceeds of a lease of a house at Widworth, esti-
mated at 1,000/. rifler lie had paid off a lien of
300/. which the son had on it, to pay the amount
of Mr. LEty's claim. The ants (Mr. Bloxliani) told
Mr. Dry that the property was certainly worth the
sum named, and promi*ed that he would pay his
claim when the amount ea. realised ; but, although
the property waa sold hni,.; since, not a farthing had
been p tort to Mr. Day.
Mr. DEA ru, io reply. sheaved• that the property,
thouttli at the time truly stated to be estimated :t
1,000/. had afterwards deirtioratril and become so
reduced in value, as on sale to fetch little more
than the amount of the lieu which Mr. Bloxhoni
had on it.

The COURT thought the objections were strtisfac.
torily answered.
Mr. HEATH then stated, that he had now learnt.
tLat tier office of Storekeeper in the Stationery
fice was held by Sir M. Rhodium by •ppointinent.
Sir Matthew being then examined by the Court,
stated that he was appended to it three years hat,
by a warrant, signed by three Lords of the Trea-
sury ; that the warrant specified it to be held ilia!
nig pleasure ; that there were duties attached to the
office ; and that previous to lets arrest he called at
the office every tier. The appointment wits on a
stamp fo..- SOL, and the additional fees paid en it
amounted to 201. The valary was sperill in the
appointment to be 400/. per annuli). It had never'
netted him more than that. There were no fees or
perquisites accruing to I . lle had recerved a
sum of 1,60a1. since the date of that warrant, which
was merely a grant made him by the Lords of the
Treasury in consideration of his foreseer services.
MrJ BAIIIIATTIIII then observed, that in the
schedule this office was said not to be held by any
appointment, but inertly froin the pleasure of the
Government, whereas it scow appeared that there
was a regular appointment.
Mr. Comnsirstoner Hams said, the Court
thought Sir Matthew Bloshuiu might very probably
have meant to suite that it was use office held only
during pleasure, us in fact it seemed te be. There
appeared Is be a great wont or attention in drawing
the schedule; but it did not appear to the Court
to be any desi!,tt of concealment, which indeed
could tint have been effected, because they could
at lily lime have ascertained tire fe-ct by inquiry at
the Treasury, or even from the Red hook.
The COURT then decided that the losolvent was
entitled to lees di+charrge, under the provisions of
this Act; and appointed as assigne,s to the estate,
Mr. Thomas Kelly, and Mr. lattliew Pickleed.
