INSOLVENT DEBTOns' courtT, Auc. 24.

Air. Pot.t.ocr, oppo'sed the application of Robert
Westbrook, landiot the Coach•and Horses,
Twiekenh;an, on the ~round o fraud and conceal-
ment. The prisoner's wife still carried On the
sinew in her husband's name ; but iti the ,schedule
there was no mention whattver of the returns of
the trade, nor did it account for the lease of the
house retained hy the prisoner. This- was the clear
and palpable concealment with a view to fraud,
which the Act had contemplated iii the clause,
which set lorth, that the discovery of such con-
cealment \void(' disentitle the prisoner to any dis-

charge.
•
Mr. BALI.P....iin-Nr. on The part of the prisoner,
stated that the proceeds of the trade carried on by
the wile during her husband's imprisonment weik;
so exts•cmely small, that they scarcely defrayed.
the expencts of 'the parties` to enable them to
exist. The *hole amount was expended for such
parpOse, and nearly the whole on the prisoner,
who was not forbidden to expend kis property for
purpoA.s of existence. As to the lease of the pub-
lie-house he understood it. was in C6ort, and that
the prisoner was ready to deliver it up to such as-
signees as the Court sho;ild appoint.
MI. Scrjeant RUNNiNGTo:;obServcd, that what
1.,11,0 from the nrkonet's counsel was 'very
plausible and eery goqd.- It was true the prisoner
mast live, and that,he was not forbidden to draw
upon such property and means 'as might he left to
hie) for that purpose: but-if the estate produced
any thing daring the -prisoner's confinement, the
act required that the amount and disposition-ofdt
should be detailed in the schedule. It was within
the rcach Of possibility that,such detail might be
unintentionally omitted rat the schedule; but the
detention and non-n.leinion of the lease looked
too flinch like studied concealment to justify-the
Court to allow the prisoner to amend hiS schedule.
For such. cooccaltuent "he must be rt:tuanded.—
Jioulanded accordingly.
