INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.)
IN RE CHARLES JAMES DILLON.
This insolvent, a comedian, applied under the Protec-
tion Act. Mr. Sargood supported.
There was no opposition in the case. The insolvent
bad made a proposal on his proceedings to set aside 1001.
a year, payable quarterly, to commence in December,
for his creditors.
Mr. Sargood thought the proposal was too large. At
all events, the first payment was promised at an early
period. It was very creditable to Mr. Dillon, but if he
could not carry it out a good deal of trouble would arise.
The Insolvent, in answer to the Court, said he could
pay the amount he had proposed. His engagements
were generally to share after a certain amount, and he
fully believed he could pay 1001. a, year to his creditors.
Mr. Sargood suggested that the proposal should be
reduced to 601. a year, and if Mr. Dillon could pay a
larger amount into court there would be no objection to

that course.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that the
learned counsel had stigksted the wisest course.
The proposal was altered, and the first quarter's pay-
ment to be made in April. The protection was renewed.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.)
IN RE BENJAMIN DANIBLL.

kept a beer-shop in the Lower Marsh. He had some
houses in Pratt-street, Camden Town, which he had
mortgaged to his brother-in-law, Dixon, and not long
before he want to prison sold them to him.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy held that he had fraudu-
lently, disposed of his property, and adjudged him to
fourteen months imprisonment from the vesting order in
March.
