LAW REPORT.

coma' OF CHANCERY, AUG. 18.

IN TITE MATTER OF CUNDIE, A BANMRUPT

The LORD
,CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this
ease. It was a petition from Nicholas Wilcox
Con4ie, to eupersede the commission of bank-
ruptcy which 'tad been' issued against him ; and
the prayer of the petition was urged on the two
grounds—that he (Cundie) had committed no act
of bankruptcy, and that he 'was not a trader at
the time of the issuing .of thecommission. His
Lordship said, that be had attentively perused ail
the documents and affidavits respecting this case ;'
'and with respect to,the first ground, namely, that
no act of „bankruptcy had been conniiitted, he
found that the person, now brought forward to
'prove that no act of bankruptcy-had been, com-
mitted by Cundienoneivionsly to the issuing of the
commission Was the very same individual (and he
believed his name was. Smart) on whose oath the
commission .had issued ! Here\then was evidence
qn:te contradictory; and where allegations were so
contrary to each other, and that too from the same
person, it was itnposssible.for him to Ilecide under
such circumstances. This point must be tried in
a Court of Law. With respect to the second
ground on which Cundie rest.nl his case, namely,
that' he was not engaged in any tra(Le previously
to his being embarked in the Pantheon concern,
it became a question whether the petitioner bad
so acted subsequently to his purchase of the Pan-
theon as to bring him within the meaning of a
trader. This point too must be tried, especially
as the representations of the bankrupt, in the pe-
tition, as compared with certain letters and for-
mer declarations illustrative of his conduct in the
Pantheon concern, were in contradiction of state-
ments previously made: Both these points must
be tried in a Court of Law—there only could they
be decided ; and if the. petitioning creditor chose
to try these matters, his Lordship thought that
he ought not to refuse him the liberty.
Mr. Haar then stated, that some individuals,
who were anxious to have the premises in ques-
tion, the Pantheon, repaired, had stepped forward
ant( offered such terns as might. be beneficial to
the creditors, if the petitioniugereditor would ac-
quiesce, in them. If the petitioning creditor could
be- prevailed on to agree to those terms, then there
might not be any necessity to go into a Court of
Law ; and Mr. Hart Obtained leave to arrange the
proceedings accosaliing to the result of these ne-
gociat7ioi;s. •
•
Mr. Hater then observed, that the Pantheon
' ought to be entrusted to the care of sOine person
to preserve it; though it was indisputable that it
was in suchA condition, that it could not have
continued to be opened and used as a .Theatre,
even had it not been stopped by other events. But
even in its present condition, some person ought
to be appohited to preserve. it in that State.

Sir SA ni.TEL ROIILLY did not know v,.hetitier the
alleged fact was quite .so " indisputable" :is
HuT. had asserted it to be be. was certain
of was, that it is Warmly and strongly dispitted
So far was the fact ‘i indisputable !"
The LORD CHANCELI,O4 acquiesced in the pro-
priety of appointing a persbn to take care of the
premises.

Greaves, of Kernpsey, near Worcester, produced
