IN RE HENRI' JOHNS.

The bankrupt was the proprietor of the Latchmore
Distillery, Wandsworth. His liabilities, of various kinds,
are estimated at upwards of 32,0001. The amount of
assets is not yet known. The bankrupt was, it is stated,
engaged in a firm at Birmingham, in connection with
which his liabilities are supposed to be still more consi-
derable. Mr. Young, accountant, of Basinghall-street,
was chosen trade assignee ; Messrs. Lawrance, Plews,
and Bowyer are the solicitors, and Messrs. Paul and
Turner the accountants in the case.

EXPA.RTS JENNET, IN RE FITZGERALD.
His Honour said this was an application by Wm.
Jenney. as executor to Edward Janney, to prove a
debt of 8,0001. and interest. It appea.reil by the evil
dence that the bankrupt borrowed from the trustees of
bankrupt's wife the sum of 8,0001., in 1829, for the
purpose of leading it to him. Jenney paid no interest
on the sum so borrowed, which was to be accounted
for by the fact that the bankrupt was entitled to the
interest of the money daring his life, and the par-
ties did not think it necessary to go through the form of
giving receipts for the interest. It appears by the evi-
dence that in 1846 the bankrupt made a memorandum
to that effect, It also appeared that in 1848 the bank-
rupt presented a petition under 7 and 8 Vict., and in the
list of debts due by him he inserted the name of E.
Jenney, as one of his creditors, for the sum of 8,0001.
The 3,000/. was paid to the trustees in 1851. It was
argued that, under the circumstances, Jenney must only
be considered as surety for the bankrupt, and ought to be
perinitt d to prove in that character ; but I am not of
opinion that he can be so considered. So far as the
trustees were concerned it was, in my opinion, clearly
a loan to Edward Jenney. It was also contended that
supposing it to have been a debt contracted by the bank-
rupt in 1820, the memorandum, signed by the bankrupt
in 1846, and the list of creditors signed by him on the
application under 7 and 3 Vict., were sufficient to take
the case out of the Statute of' Limitations, and I am of
that opinion.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE G. S. GREEN.

The bankrupt was a grocer and teadealer of Ayles-
bury-street, Cierkenwell, Mount-street, Lambeth, War-
wick-street, Pimlico, Minories, and Hornsey. This was
the certificate meeting.
Mr. Lawrance supported ; Mr. Linklater opposed for
Messrs. Rowley and Davis ; Mr. Rose opposed for the
assignees.

His Honour said the bankrupt had for some time
carried on business at five or six places with a very small
capital. ' His trade and domestic expenses had been
4,0001., whilst his profits were no more than 2,6001.
There had been a degree of reckless and improvident
trading that called for a suspension of the bankrupt's
certificate for a period of nine months. There hail been
nothing of unavoidable loss or misfortune in the case ;
the certificate would, therefore, be of the third clans, but
protection would be granted in the absence of any in-
tention to commit a frami or wrong against credit: Ts.
