gEkV;ItiSOLYF.NT ACT,

i . ;

. Mr. CoMNON SIMYEANT made:a anotiou 'tor se-
vend Habeat; Corpora, to bring up certain lusolr
vents to 'take the benefit of the late lusbivent Act.
:The persons'. in whose custody they were dte-
riining
to obey the order-of Mr. Sri Palmer;
the Commissioner appointed to:Tteente tbe Act.
Lord ELLENBORoUGH said, that since Saturday
the Court had looped into 'the Act: They by no
nicans'blanied the caution of• those•persons 'who
had the custody of the insolven‘s; considering.
how penal the consequences were to them it they
acted erroneously. But; adverting to the Act,
they, were of opinion that the Court, constituted
by the Act, had the power of ordering Insolvents
to be brimght before 0/lent ; and, looking at the
order issued by Mr: Serjeant Palmer, they thought
it was rightly fraine:l, and was a legal Acnif that
Court ; and llut't therefore writs of habeas Corpus
were mineccs.sary.
The other business of the day were matters of
course on the last day of term.

SESSICiNS-1401.7sr.,WESTMINSTER.—Mr. Serjeant
PALMER sat yesterday for the. purpose of execut-
ing the -proyisions of the Insolvent Debtor's Act.
Several perions were brought up from the Comp-
eer, Fleet, and Newgate, but were most of than
remanded, for non-compliance xvish the directions
of the Act., The tichethiles of their debts were
worded too generally. The prevailing defect
which prevented the discharge,of the applicants,
was the omission to give an exact and specific ac-
count of their debts. ft:

FORGED' BANK NOTES,

HATTON-G ARO Crday, Stephen Under-
wood, underwent an oarnination on a charge of
haying 725/. in forged hank of England notes in
his pos,,ession. •

Nirm. \%tard, of 27, Woo&street, Cheap-
side, said, that on Sunday evening, witness; in
company with some other gentlemen was going
along.Goswell: street, and obsercinga large crowd
collected, curiosity led. them to the spot, vhere he
saw the prisoner lying on his bads in a 61. Th-ey
assisted him to a house, in order to haVe.itim

taken proper care of, Inv first they were iudoced
to search his pOckets, to see what-property he had
about him: they fOnnd four M. notes, 0ne.500/.
And another 25/. in nil sir notes, amounting to
725/. They took hiin to the liziuse Of Mr:
ter, a bookseller in th,e neighbourhood. The notes
were, ordered to he delivererd up to Mr. Lyster for
security. Previous to their delivery, 'witness
,took down the. number and date of each note,
and .their amount : in the third note for
50d, witness remarked that it • cortesponded,
in number, and date with the second note for.
the same amount, 'which created' some suspicion,
which lie communicated to Mr. Lyster and the.
other gentlemen, and they thotight it advisable,
to send for a constable, which they accordinjy„
did. When the ,prisoner. recovered, and learnedthat a constable was sent for; he expi*liell'S
to be let go, saying he would leaee,therwota•
them,, as they were of no u-,e to him
then only for cariosity, and gave a 5.01. note ak,ai
on Saturday ; and 64. he gut them of -a Mat"
of the name of. Denton, in the . Fleet inisoidor•
When tht constable and officer arrived, the pri,
soner was

Bunk of England, said that.the six no6s.now pro. ,
(lifted, and purporting to be Bank of .E►tglan►t
