LAW INTELLIGENCE.

BANKRUPTCY COURT—Morrna F.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
The following notice was posted to-day in the Court
of the Learned Commissioner :

" Any debtor desirous of entering into a bond with
sureties, under the Bth section of the Ist and 2d Victo-
ria, cap. 110, should cause to be given to the creditor,
or his attorney, a notice in writing, signed by the debtor,
or his attorney, of the debtor's intention so to proceed.
" The names and descriptions of the proposed sureties
should be fully stated in the notice, and also the day and
time at which the debtor intends to proceed before the
Commissioner at the Court of Bankruptcy.
" The notice should be twenty-four hours, at least, if
the creditor and the debtor's proposed sureties reside in
town, and two days or more if the creditor or the debtor's
troposed sureties reside elsewhere, according to the dis-
tance and means of communication.

" The sureties need not attend personally, but may
make affidavit of their sufficiency.
" Copies of the affidavits. of sufficiency should be an-
nexed to the notice.

" All affidavits intended to be used before the Com-
missioner should be filed in the office of the chief regis-
trar of the Court of Bankruptcy previous to the hearing,
and office copies thereof taken.

" At the day and tine stated in the notice, the debtor,
or his attorney, should be prepared with his bond, duly
stamped, and with office copies of the affidavit of the
.execution thereof by the attesting witness, and of the
affidavits of sufficiency, and of the affidavit of the ser-
vice of notice of the debtor's intention to enter into the
bond.

" With the consent of the creditor or his attorney, the
Commissioner will approve of the bond without requiring
affidavits."

The Learned COMMISSIONER stated, at the rising of
the Court on Saturday last, that these regulations had
received the sanction of Commissioners Evans and Fane,
who would act upon them in their respective Courts
with a view to avoid the many difficulties which had re-
cently occurred in putting the bail in country cases, so
as to avoid the making solvent individuals liable to the
consequences of acts of bankruptcy.

INSOLVENT
_DEBTORS' COURT-MONDAY.

The sittings of the Court for the hearing of cases
were resumed to-day for a short period, when another
recess will take place. The Learned Chief Com-
missioner and Mr. Commissioner Bowen were on the
bench. There were several bail cases heard this morn-
ing; the humane provision has since the Ist of October
led to the liberation of some hundreds of insolvents.
Henry Bushill, the younger, who was before the
Court before the vacation, appeared to receive judg-
ment.

The insolvent, who had been discharged under the
Act in 1837, had been a leather-dresser in Russell-
street, Bermondsey. The complaint against him, on
the part of a creditor named Kent, was, that he had
falsified his account book to conceal the true state of
his affairs.

Mr. WOODROFFE, on the part of the opposing cre-
ditor, said another instance to the several mentioned
on the last hearing had come to his knowledge, which
he wished to disclose.

The COURT gave permission to the insolvent being
questioned on the subject.
It appeared that in addition to the sums received,
and on which he had falsified his book, he had been
paid 3/. by a person named Austen since the filing of
his schedule.

The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, in pronouncing
the judgment, said the Learned Gentleman, Mr.
Nichols, who bad officiated as Commissioner, had re-
corded the judgment, and the Court, notwithstanding
what bad now appeared, did not feel disposed to extend
the period. The judgment was, that the insolvent be
remanded from the vesting order for a period of six
calendar months for a wilful falsification of his account
book.
