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 7/. 2s. for money
paid and advanced. The defendant pleaded nil debit,
and that he bad been discharged under the Insolvent
Act.

Mr. Pearce, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that
,n 1852 the defendant purchased a business at Rings-
land of a person named Edwards, giving a warrant of

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

By Mr. Pearce—He would not swear he had not seen
a form of application for the loan in question.
The schedule waq put in evidence, which showed the
debt was entered as due to the Loan-office, and not to
the plaintiff. The money wag 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 a;sented to the plaintiff signing the note in ques-
tion. It bad been shown that the debt bad been in•

cried in the schedule, Lewis holding other security at
that time.
Mr. Pearce having replied,
The jury returned a verdict, for thA defendant.
