Insolvent'd son being called and examined, tiwore that be had
pait', to his father the whole of the 321. in etiyarefens and silver,
wtthotit any deduction, and that the distresi was levied about a
'fortnight after the bill of sale was executed, upon which he
(witness) paid the amount, which was a few days afterwards re-
paid by tho insolvent. The insolvent and his wife had con--
tinued in possession of the property Some tithe after this.
Mr. /relent submitted that this wax a fraud on the credi-
tors, and the gross contradiction . between the atatemetsts of the
father and son confirmed' his view of the case.
PoeeoCk, 'On the eontrary; contended that the transfer
was bona fide, and that the full value of the property had been
paid to the insolvent for it.
Mt COmmissionee HARRIS said it was utterly impossible
•to believe both the, insolvent and his son, their vtatementri
being so materially contradictive of each ether ; but view-'
in the case in the most favoureble' light the insolvent could
wish , it, he ought net at that time to have made any, dis-
position of his property, beieg, according to his own sche-•
dole, • perk*. insolvent. ()Here the insolvent interrupted
the learned ' this, * missioner, by denying and bring severely
repriman •,A begged perdon.l lie had at that tittle
bills ov , 'id dishonoured, and a'judgment banging
over liish !is Mai might at any moment have swept oll' every-
thing he had. Under the circumstances, it Was a fraud on all
hit' creditors to make the transfer he had made of his property.;
and the person who had prepared' the bill of sale and insolvent's
' son stniall in a seriou* situation, under another section' of the
Act, for assisting the ineoleent to make sway with his propertyr
The jUdgment of the Court; therefore, was; that the insolvent
should not receive or be entitled to 'any benefit or protection
under the Act, for fraittlulentlY making away with his property
Whereby the dividend amongst his creditors was lessened, until
he had been in eustody„.at the suit of some one or More of the
persona Who were creditors, for a. period not exceeding six
months, from the date of filing his petition, and that Such ire'
.
prisenment be within the walls. •

due for claret, and the mare substantial article (as he *ed)
of turtle, Otc., due to a tavern-keeper in the eastern Part of the
• nittroptilitt.
. The insolvent was then examined at an unusual length touch-
ing his estate and Gets.
rite insolvent stated that he commenced his professional pur»
suits, at his chambers, in Lincoln's Inn, in the, yeist 1817 (but,
in the interim to 1821, he became Involved in d*)bt, and a ruler
of the liiug's Bench prison. lie owed at the time near 4,000 e ;.
his creditors; however; with the exception of a fowl accepted a
compesitteri of bs. in the poOnd, in full satistaeticai et their
debts. , _ . •

The insolvent Was questioned by Counsel ati. to his means (,f
satisfying the liquidated demand ; he stated that he had obtained
an annuity, upon expectancies, and being in arrear with his father,
Felix 'Whitmore, Esq in order .to raise money to pay utf
those annuities, he assigned over to him 4001. which,lty. virtue
of a marriage settlement, would eventerdly come tollim en
the demise of hii mother ; and also. 70W., to' which he Otis
entitled by virtue .of scone testamentary grant,. at the death
(as we underatood) of William Whitmore,. Esq. his. uncle?-.
The fund so raised enabled him to compromise with ilia
creditors, and emancipate himself front the cuitotly. of the
'Marshal. The insolvent went on to state, that during the last
six years his clothier's bills, paid and unpaid; amounted to near
6001., and the hatters' and boottnitkers' in proportion ; his
tavern bills might be about 650/. during the same term ; ad-
' milted that he pawnelabrce anuff-boats for 14, but the drop-

the duplicates were handed over to parties. to whom he owed
money, except two, which were taken from him irutho Kiev's
Bench prison. ".Vtie profit of his profession was about bUti•
tired u-y ear.
The insolvent underwent an esautiontion
by, which it appeared Rig trey.had pursued twit ettriVagatii
tool profligate course. Amongst other things, the insolvent ad-
!flitted, is his'aosta-examinanon. that he on one occasion Intr.
chatted a anuMbox for 7001, which he soon afterwards, disposed
of for 40W.
Mr. 11r.a.rit and Mr. DORT miti.t. then prayed the 'Clitltito‘
remand the insolvent, under the 10th section of the Act...
Mr. Pora-ocx, for the insolent, would not for a moment
stand there to vindicate extravagance" yet he was bound, to
offer mitiltatory obsetvationa. lf n charge .0f improvidence
was to become -a groond of remand, then almost every pmi..
tioner to that Court would be remanded.
• The.CIIIEF. CO MMtBBloNtit,.in delivering the judgment
of the Court on the insolvent, passed some strong anirnad.vor..-
sions on his conduct, which was worse than either extravagance
or improvideuce.. Therefore, the judgment of. the Court was,
" that he should be remanded to custody lathe twits of • tile
opposing creditors for the period of HI monthat for .fraudo-
lently contracting debts with them, anti that. he should tie;
during. such period, confined within the Walls of the...prison,
