COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)

IN RE FISHER.
This bankrupt, Rebecca Fisher (otherwise Hicks), de-
scribed as of Devonshire-place, Edgeware-road, spinster,
applied for release from custody.
Mr. Lucan supported her application, and Mr. Presto-a
opposed on behalf of Messrs. Ingledew, upholsterers of
Bishopsgate-street, on the ground ;that the bankrupt had
fraudulently contracted the debt for which she had been sued
The bankrupt, in examination, said her name was Fisher.
the
and she was a single woman, but she had passed by
name of Hicks. I was engaged to him, but he died. She
denied ever representing herself as a widow, and that
she was entitled to £4OO a year, but the affairs were in
Chancery. She had goods of Ingledew to the amount of
£l5O, but had paid off £llO. The property had since been
sued for a year's rent, but they did not fetch £6O, and the
rent due was £65.
By Mr. Lucas—lngledew knew I wag not married. It
is four and a half or five years since I had the goods.
Mr. Ingledew, cross•examined, said Mr. Hicks intro-
duced bankrupt as his wife—he purchased goods and paid
for them—she afterwards went by herself and said Mr.
Hicks was dead and she was his widow, but that his affairs
were in Chancery ; she afterwards raid that the affairs had

been settled, and that she was entitled to £4OO a-year for
witness goods
at ,
The Bankrupt said she never made any such statement
all, but with his brother.

Mr. Lucas submitted that there was no pretext for say-
ing there had been any fraudulent misrepresentation.
Hicks introduced the bankrupt as his wife, and as to the
rest, Mr, Ingledew appeared to speak from hearsay. At
all events, thetra.nsac don took place nearly five yeirs ago,
and;the bankrupt had paid, off £llO. _ _ .

His Honour said is was not a case for refusal of release,
and the bankrupt was accordingly released.

IN RE MATCHETT.

'lbis bankrupt was described as a lodger at the Prince of
Wales Tavern, Enfield, formerly contractor, and now out
of business. He had been arrested at the suit of Benjamin
Butler Caunt (executor of Benjamin Caunt), who had ob-
tained judgment against him whilst he was in Portugal.
There being no opposition the order for release was
granted.

little is doing. Picking is now making considerable pro-
press, but the crop varies considerably. From America
we learn that the crop will not equal last year's, but there
will in all probability be a supply of good and fine hops suffi-
cient to meet the export demand. The import into London
last week was 9 bales from Ostend, 16 from Rotterdam, and
46 frem Hamburg.
