Dr Deane, Q. 0., and Mr. Searle were for the petitioner,

Several witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it
appeared that the parties, who were in a respectable station
of life, ware warded on the 11th February, 1817, and
there was ono child,
-sane of the marriage, which is still

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
•
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE COLLIER.
This bankrupt was described as of Oakley-street, Lam-
beth, tool manufacturer, and now came up for his order of
discharge.
Mr J. B. Sorrell, Mark.lane, supported; Mr Brough
oppo.ed.
Mr Sorrell said that the bankrupt had passed his exami-
ation, and he could not conceive any ground of opposition
to his having his order of discharge. lie came before the
court on the 20th of February last, and had filed a good
cash: and deficiency account as required and reported on
by Mr Gardiner, who had been appointed by the Court to
assist him. The total indebtedness amounted to £7OO, and
a very large amount had been realised.
Mr Brough said that the bankrupt passed his examina-
tion on the faith that he would give the residences of car-
tain debtors.
Mr Sorrell said that would be impossible, they were men
working under contraotors and moved from place to place,
but bankrupt had offered to go with the assignee to the
masters and endeavour to trace the men.
_

_
His Honour asked what had actually— been received for
the estate ? .

Mr Brough said £l2O, but the official assignee said there
bad been other money's received,

Mr Brough still pressed for ton adjournment.
Mr:Sorrell submitted that it would be a great hardship on
the bankrupt and the creditors ►o fritter away a small estato
by these frequent adjournments, which could not lead to a
beneficial result. The creditors were so satikfted with the
bankrupt that Messrs. Cocks, Robarts, and Co., who were
creditors for £72, offered to stock his shop, and othtr
creditors were equally friendly.
His Honour said ho should grant the order of discharge
on the bankrupt undertaking to give all the information in
his power to the assignees.
