LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

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

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. Preston
opposed on behalf of Messrs. Ingledew, upholsterers of
Bishopagate-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.
and she was a single woman, but she had passed by the
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. It

Mr. Ingledew, cross•examined, said Mr. Hicks intro-
duced bankrupt as his wife—he purchased goods and paid
for them—she afterwards went by herselt and said Mr.
Hicks was dead and she was his widow, but that his affairs
were in Chancery; she afterwards said that the affairs had
been settled, and that she was entitled to £4OO a-year for
life, and on that representation he let her have the goods.
The Bankrupt said she never made any such statement,
that the transaction did not take place with the witness at
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, thetransac ion took place nearly five yeArs ago,
and:the bankrupt had paid off £llO.
His Honour said it was not a case for refusal of reletise,
and the bankrupt was accordingly released.

MARKETS—This Day.

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 hope suffi-
cient to meet the export demand. The import into London
last week was 9 bales from Ostend, 16 from Rotterdam, and
46 from Hamburg.
