INSOLVENTDEBTORS' COURT.

[Before Mr. Chief Commissioner REYNOLDS and Mr.
Commissioner BOWEN.]
IN THE MATTER OF JOHN WOOLFORD.
On Thursday the insolvent was opposed by Mr.
WOODROFFE, for a tailor of the name of Cooper, his
debt and costs being only 11/. ; the schedule contained
no other claim.
The Court said the insolvent had already suffered
enough for a debt of 51., although it must be admitted
that he brought it all upon himself.
He was then ordered to be discharged forthwith.
IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT HUGH FRANKS.
The case of this insolvent has recently been reported
in our paper, and on Thursday
Mr. NixHoLLs applied on his behalf to set aside the
nomination of James Henry Garnett, who was appointed
one of his assignees at the last hearing ; the application
was made upon the ground that he had improperly in-
fluenced a boy of the name of Henry Benham, who was
examined as a witness before the Court, t o give evi-
dence as to the removal of a valuable glass and a large
quantity of hats from his shop in Finsbury-square to the
house No. 6, Duke-street, whereas in point of fact no
such removal had taken place, and the boy had since ad-
mitted the falsehood he then stated, alleging that he
was directed to do so by Mr. Garnett, who held out to
him as a reward, that "he would make a hatter of
him, and stand his friend through life."
Affidavits stating these admissions on the part of the
boy were put in and read, and were made by Ann Ben-
ham, his mother, to whom he first communicated his
mis-statement ; from three other persons of credibility ;
and also from Thomas Winch, a policeman, who was
called in at the request of the insolvent to hear the ad-
missions made.
Mr. COOKE opposed the application of a creditor
named Jackson, and contended that the " appoint-
ment" having been made pursuant to the 44th section
of the new Act, could not be now altered.
Mr. Nrciror.r.s contended that the "appointment"
was not perfect, as the " acceptance" was not filed in
Court.
The Officer of the Court said it was filed on the
25th September last, the hearing having been the day
before.
The COURT docided that there were not sufficient
grounds to rescind the appointment of Mr. Garnett.

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

WEARING THE BREECHES.—EIiza Davis," fat and
forty-seven," was brought before the LORD MAYOR by
a policeman under the following circumstances ;
The policeman stated that about five o'clock this
morning he saw the prisoner in Harp-lane, dressed in
men's clothes.--(Laughter.) He understood that her
husband had locked up her own clothes, to prevent her
going out to get more drink, and that she had, during
the time he was " napping," taken the opportunity of
dressing herself in his.

The-LORD MAYOR—Did she put on his hreeehes ?
Policeman—Yes, she has them on now under her petti-
coats.—(Loud laughter.).
She had also on her person her husband's fustian
coat, and presented altogether a most ludicrous ap-
pearance.—Discharged after a caw ion as to her future
conduct.
