REPORT'.

LINCOLN's-INN-HALL. 4
sportiabAy, AUG. 8.
The LORD
.Cl 4 AN EtLOR (lay -sat at,Lin-
eoln's Irui Hall, to-'hear Bankrupt Petitions.• A
Petition , was pres,Pnted to supersede a Commission
issued against a Bankrupt of the name of Leicester,
of Liverpool, on the ground, that the docket struck by
the petitioning Creditor, under the ftrst, CommisSion,
had not been followed up within the time" prescribed
by the practice
_of the. Court It was suggested. in
answer; that the Witnesses who were to have proved
the rid of Bpi kru6tcy had been 'tutored -by the
-.pirties wishing to sue out the second:COhnission,
and that.the deity hadarisen' frOm the.ntiCessity cf
seeking some other means. of Aloof ; and that notice
of, this had beets giVen to the adverse party. The
subject' matter of the Telition .kas not particularly
important, but :1-variety of octrabeons matters w{ ere
introduced Tespetaing the Pra&iee. of' the.:CPtirt,
• lativil to 'Bankruptcies. Lord .ELDON, in a 'Wl'',
long speech„adv-erted to the different topics which
had been mentioned ; -he observed, that .t'bere a ere
more frauds committed:4v .Solicitors fraudulently
,conduCting COMmissions of Bankruptcy, than by
• Traders Who fraudulently became bankrupts ; Was
sorry to say there were many Sdlicitors deemed re-
-speaable.-men who -would think' nothing of fraudui.
lently- keeping .baelc, evidence to prove a Bank-
ruptcy, undet a Commission taken out by another,
in order that they might be able to. -supersede it,
and ohtain,ro .thermelv.es the profits, of conducting-
it. He feared that ,with regard to the Bankrupt •
Laws,' the doors were opened so wide, that nothing
but the power of the
,Legislature could fv er be able
to-shut them. After, taking a review of the whole
of the ea:se, he was of opinion thesapplicatiod should
be rejected.
The Sor.4ol;roß rose,• and addressing his Lord-
ship, said hid chief, object in bringing this matter
forward, , was, to inform his Lordship of the illegal
demand of certain fees paid at the Bankrupts'Oilice,
upon obtaining,writs of supersedeas.
Lord Et DON said, that such an Oiservation,so ir-
regularly_made, was highly unjust, and. little less
than,,a slander on, the persons who had the manage_
then iof the businesS of the. Bankrupts' Office. He
looked with a suspicious eye `upon the motives of the
man who made such art' application the Medium of
,introducing a complaint, with which it had no con-
neaion. `,-His Lordship added, that if there was any;
ground Ail complaint, and it was brought. before him
in prop'er_fOrm, he should know how to' treatit.

LIBERATION uF INSOLITENT DEBTORS.

ON Saturday the.toRD:MAY9R, Aldermen Boy-
.
-DELL and. So AW, assisted by • the , :Recorder, and
Common Seijeant, sat at Guildhall,, for. the purp6se
of discharging the Prisoners from the Fleet and Lud-
gate, under the late Insolvent `AC{ . A number
were opposed: by Counsel:' One-, an Attorney, was
opposed on the ground that the teebt fot which he\
was charged', was money received by him in his pro-
fession as ati Attorney for a Client. Two witnesses
were-called, Mr. Gta as ',proved, that he had paid
the- PriSofie'r 341.:for'Datilages in an Ai ion brought'
against him at
.'the suit Of Levi Alexander ; and
Mr: Alexand'r swore, that it was for that sum lie
had been obliged to have 'the PriSoner arrested. He •
was:remanded as lieihg under the descrii),tipn of per. .
.sons excepted by the A.
•
A Gentleman who was. made a bankrupt.-on the
loth May, was adinitied, by consent; to amend his
Schedble, so as to make a complete assignment
fer the benefit, of his' creditors. A Prisoner was
opposed; for that he was not in athral custody.on
the Ist, of 'Mira.- He was arrested the latter end
of February, was. taken td -an :Officer's house., and
went frOm thence in consequence of his Attorney
giving an-undertaking that he would ,render him in -
due time ; which he did on the 1 I tit of' Mardi.
On a' full investigation, the'CoUrt discharged him,.
the debt having accrued previous to -the zst 'of
March.7—Two persons who have been detained for
debts subsequent to the Ist of March, were liberated
as to all former debts, 'and remanded as to the lle:.'
tainers.
