must be for the plaintiff.
Mr. Cr.EsWELL having replied,
The COURT took time to consider its judgment.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, Nov. 9.
RE SIR WILLIAM BOYD.
The insolvent in this case was the individual who had
made two or three attempts to escape from the Fleet
Prison, and one time so far succeeded as to get to
Charing-cross disguised as an old woman. He stated
to the Court that he had been knighted by William IV.,
on presenting his Majesty with an epitome of a work
called the " History of Literature."
Mr. THOMAS, on behalf of several creditors, applied to
the Court, that they might be permitted' to prove their
debts now, on the grounds of not having previous intima-
tion of the insolvent being about to pass through that
Court. In snaking the application he felt bound
at the same daze to inform the Court that there were
many of them which had been contracted more than ten
or eleven years back, and that the Statute of Limitations
might be pleaded against them; but he trusted this sta-
tute would not be allowed to act as a bar against the
claims, as the insolvent had managed to keep out of the
way of his creditors for many years, and had been in Ame-
rica and upon the Cantinent for a long time,
Mr. Hobson, coachmaker, of South-street, Grosvenor
square, said the insolvent came to him about thirteen
years ago, and bought a cabriolet with harness for 1501.,
fur which he gave two bills, which proved to be value-
less. For years afterwards he never met him, until he
saw him one night at 011ey's, when he gave him into
custody for swindling, but the police would not interfere.
He had frequently tried to meet him since, to sue him,
I but in vain.

Several other witnesses having deposed similarly, the
Learned Commissioner said he would adjourn the case
to Saturday, the 20th inst., before whieh time the insol-
vent was to receive two days' notice of the particulars of
any of the new demands against him.
Mr. Hobson informed the Learned Commissioner that
he and those creditors who appeared to-day were in ig-
norance whether the insolvent was in existence or not
until they saw the newspaper reports of his examination.
IN THE MATTER OF CHRISTOPHER SMITH.
In this case, the particulars of which appeared in The
Sun of yesterday, the insolvent was called up for judg-
ment, when the Learned Commissioner ordered him to
be remanded for nine months from the date of his vest-
ing order.
