ELECTION COMMITTEES-(THIS DA Y

HUDDERSFIELD.

--- -
At the meeting of the committee this morning, the
learned counsel replied on the whole case. The room was
then cleared, and on the re-admission of the parties, the
chairman read the following resolutions :
" That C. Stanfield, Esq., was not duly elected to serve
in the present Parliament for the borough of Huddersfield.
" That the last election was a void election.
" That the said C. Stanfield, Esq., had, by his agents,
been guilty of bribery and treating, but that it was not
proved to the committee that it was with the knowledge of
the said C. Stanfield, Esq."

CIRENCESTER.
The committee resumed this morning at 11 o'clock.
Mr. Merewether stated that, in consequence of the opi-
nion yesterday expressed by the committee with regard to
the agency of Cousins, and from the difficulty there would
be in establishing the other cases, from the fact of their
depending upon the evidence of hostile witnesses, he had
adopted the course of recommending to his client the with-
drawal of the petition. That recommendation had been
accepted, and he now, therefore, withdrew from further
supporting the petition.

The sitting members, therefore, retain their seats.
No application was made with regard to costs.

BANKRUPTCY" COURT-(THIS DAY).

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

IN RE CLARKE.
This bankrupt had carried on business as a nurseryman
at Chelsea, and to-day was appointed for consideration of
his ceruificate.
Mr. Lucas appeared as counsel to oppose on behalf of
creditors.
Mr. R. Chidley Gresham-street,' appeared as solicitor to
the assignees, and said he was taken by surprise at the op-
position, for he had not had any notice.
Mr. Lucas then applied for an adjournment, that the
proper notice might be given, and quoted cases in support
of his application.
His Honour granted the application at the costs of the
creditors.

IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE DEBTOR AND CREDITOR
ARRANGEMENT ACT.
An application of a very novel kind was made in the
case of a rev, gentleman in difficulties, whose name is
omitted in consequence of a hint dropped from the learned
Commissioner that, although the case was heard publicly, it
was not strictly before the court. It appears that the
reverend debtor had filed a petition under the Debtor and
Creditor Arrangement Act, but only one creditor proved ;
the matter was referred in due course to the official assig-
neel; but a question arose as to the truthfulness of the ac-
counts, many of the debts being alleged to be fictitious—
the authority of the official assignee never questioned, and
the jurisdiction of the Court disputed; but his Honour
held the Court had power, and the matter was referred
back to the official assignee.
Mr. Gilham now applied for an order to rescind the pro-
tection, on the ground that it had been obtained on
accounts containing wilful and false misrepresentations.
Mr. Lewis submitted that it was for the opposing cre-
ditor to prove that ; but by the 10th section of the act no
such application can be entertained, except on the applica-
tion of two creditors.
His Honour said it was quite clear that unless the trus-
tee or two creditors applied he could not interfere in the
present stage of the proceedings ; but if another, or other
creditors, chose to join in the application, then he (his
Honour) should hear the case.
Mr. Lewis applied for costs, which were refused.
