INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

113 THE IiATTSit 011 STOCIMALE A PiNtGIiTY, gt-POTK

LORD ILL-TON.
The Commissioaers under tlas Commission were
occupied a considerable part of Saturday and Monday, at
the Southampton Coffee-house, in investigating a proof
of debts to Ole amount of 54:001. tendered by Lord Ke-
nyon against the Bankrupt's estate.
Ilse case for the creditors t:tis comlected by Mr. C.
Philips, as counsel, and Mr. 11. Neele, as solicitor;
that of Lord Kenyon by Mr. Islarryatt, as counsel, and
Mr. Edge, as solicitor.
On the part of the creditors it teas contended, that
Lord Kenyon'was a partner with the bankrupt, as pro.
prietor of Ike True Britt!: tie..espL•per, and thereiore
liable for all the debts of that concern lie could not,
therefore, be allowed to prot•e in competition .•rich his
own creditors. Front the evidence el the bait'srupt, It
appeared that 27at True Britin was established in the
►pang of 1820; Messrs. Swint, Merle, and Stockdale,
were the proprietors, hot all the foods :vete to be sup-
plied by Lind Kenyon. His Lordship was to be the
appellee in all disputes between the parties, and the
Paper was to be condacted on strict constitutional
civil and religious, of velf;cit Lord Kenyon was to
he the judge. Lord Kenyon was also to apportion the
profits 01 tile Riper aition.a the parties, accorilitv to tile
gualaub. meruit of their este& twits. Ile haul also the
power of disimssal, awl in the event of the profits nl
the Paper becoitim4 large or enormous, he was at litierty
to apply them to the support olother Papers, the distri-
bution of tracts, lute assistance of such cbarines as
Ms Lordship might think fit.
• Mr. Nlartyatt contended, that from this evidence it
was isispos,ible to fix Lord Kenyon as a partner. fits
Lociislitp had, slimly as the friend of the parties, as-
sisted diem with money, and had taken upon himself
the Mike of arbataior to case any disputes stioold arise
aiming thew. lie had nut in any instance appeared as
a painter, nor had he in the slightest degree participated
in the profits.
Mr. C. Pitillips, on the other hand, argued at peat
length, that the fact of Land Ketwoo's joint pruprie:or•
ship in The True Briton newspaper had been clearly
established. It was true 111.11 Ills Lordship had hot dr.
rived any profit from it, as is 111(1101 out, but he tnigiit
have derived eotisi&rable ptolil. Lord h. was known
to be a very charitable inan—he pernaps, expend
5001. a year in chariiie•, and if Inc profits of The True
Briton haul amolitited to that stmt, they iniAtit have De-
is. fiord him to that amiutin, inasmuch as he could apply
them to that tittrpose. instead of draft iug ti utt his pri-
vate property : but rite Paper beisclitted isis Lordslifp in
another, although not its a p,coutary way—in a way,
however.- which to a person of nis Lordship's rank and
consideration in the C:4l.ltry, was II more illiportani
—he was kitown m ho the iwad of the Ann-Catholic
party in this tomaity, and for the purpose of ,artiter.si
the objects of that party, lie huh established a in wspaper
devoted to its interest: ins I.ori:s4ip must, ther.:tore, bear
the consequences, and it was only one proof, among
many, of the tinhirtunate issue of political sprcidaltolls.
Tlle Co 11l 1116SliDICIS were dearly of opinion, that the
fact of a partnership had been proved; they therefore
dscided that Lord Kenyon must pay off all use debt. us
The True Briion before he could be allowed to come n.
