PLOWMAN A/ZD OTHERS D.D.
the defendant canto up this day to have his
base argued upon the discretionary pdwer in the
s;ith Section of the Act, which.,allows the Court,
notWithstauding any case of fraud shall have been
proved, to admit of a discharge under particular
circumstances.
Mr. AithaEws,,Counsel for the plaintiff, hoW-
ever, now objected, that since the last hearing he
had been ouf of the Rules ; and it was proved
that on Sunday last he was seen near the Stags at
Lambeth, close to.the Chapel, about eight o'cock
in the evening, which being.ont of the Rides, the
Doctor could not take the oath as to his being in
regular custody, and he was remanded without
further hearing.
Mr. SeriCalit RUNNINGTON said, that he had
given this clause of the Statute a full considera-
tion since the last hearing, but'as this ground of
objection was.decisive, he should avoid giving an
extra judicial opinion.

COOPER V. LAURENT BIZRT.

The defendant was opposed by Mr. Pitt sea
SMITH as being an 'alien. He had come to the
Bell'and Crown, and remained there for two
mint( s at great expence, having a separate room
and extravagant dinners in the French style till the
landlord intreated him to go au'hy. lle still pre-
tended that he expected remittances, and wrote
a letter to Mr. De Tastet, his father's agent,
which he pretended was an- order for the paynient
Of'the money, but it appeared to be only a request
to pay when Binds arrived. ,
..Upon being examined, it appeared that he had
been a prisoner in England ten years, and had,
4iVedon parole at.' Crediton, in 'Devonshire',. airy'
Welchpool, in Wales, hut he said he had no debts
owing, except to-Mr. Cooper and to a .taylor.—
Lle bad been a purser in the French navy : his
father was an Esquire or Gentilhommt at
; he had some chim tin the French GO-
verument.
t"crieant:RuNNyt,:orotc, after asking what
i. Government the Counsel meant by the French
Government, said it was probable that the defen-
dant had sonic expectations, and as it was difficult
to say what other terms could be imposed on him,
ho should require a joint security in the recogni-
zance to pay out of his future effects. is this
ease', there did not appear any blame attached -to
• Mr. Cooper, but otherwise; if a stranger could
not .pay his hill at an pun, the sooner lie was
turned out the better.
