IN RE R. 14, JONES.

This bankrupt was a commission agent, owing £3b3, and
the assets were very small. Proceedings under sequestra-
tion were going on in Scotland.
The bankrupt said he had been bankrupt twice before ;
once in 1839, when he paid 15s. in the pound, and subse-
quently, when he paid 20s. in the pound.
A creditor submitted the present petition should be dis-
missed, but his Hon.ur granted an adjournment to ascer-
tain the state of affairs in Scot!and.

IN RE MASTERMAN-THE CARPET TRADE.
This bankrupt was a rug manufacturer in the Hackney-
road, and came up for his discharge.
Mr. Brough, for the assignees, presented the case very
favourably to the Court. The bankrupt had been in busi
nese for 15 years, and his bankruptcy arose solely in con-
sequence of the great advance in the price of materials,
shute having risen 45 per cent., and other materials 25 per
cent. The creditors entertained a very friendly feeling,
and hoped the bankrupt would get through his difficulties.
His Honour granted an immediate discharge.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
FRIENDS 07 LABOUR LOAN SOCIETIES.

A case came before the Court this morning, in which the
decision of the judge some time since is shown to have
borne good fruit. The debt was for a£6 bill, upon which
defendant had paid 2s. He 'had £5 Is. 10d. stock in the
society, and he was sued for 18s. 7d.
His Honcur refused to give a verdict for more than
16e. 2d.

Plaintiff—There is 2s. sd. expenses for winding up the

society.
His Honour—Defendant is not to pay that. Those who
have benefited by the society should pay it. I fear there
is a great deal of unfair dealing in these cas s. Is this one
where the stock has been forfeited ?
Plaintiff--No. We have allowed it off the bill.
His Honour—l thought so.
Plaintiff—Your honour is doing a great deal of harm to
the working classes.

His Honour—On the contrary, I believe I am doing a
great deal of good. I shall not allow the expenses of wind-
ing up of this Friends of L,bour Loan Society.

CAUTION TO THE SUITORS.

A case was called, in which Mr. Buchanan appeared for
the plaintiff, the fees being all paid. Plaintiff did not
answer, and the case was struck out. About five minutes
afterwards the plaintiff arrived, and was told by Mr. Bu-
chanan that in consequence of his own neglect the case
could not now be heard.
Plaintiff asked that the case might be restored.
His Honour—No. Your attorney was here in proper
time, and I cannot alter the rule.
This is the second case this week that the attorneys have
teen present and the clients absent
