SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
The cases to-day were not of the slightest interest,
being on bills of exchange, and undefended.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE ONION.
This insolvent, who was described as an artist, in
Loughborough Park-terrace, Brixton,_ attended oa a
summons to be examined as to property alleged to have
come into his possession since his having obtained his
final order.
Mr. PEARSON appeared as counsel for a creditor, and
examined the insolvent, who obtained his final order in
1843. It appeared that, under his father's will, he was
entitled to the reversionary interest in the sum of nearly
2,0001. He alleged, however, that he transferred his
interest to his mother, in 1841, in consideration of 1001.
money advanced at the time, and a previous debt of 300/.
No deeds, however, had been executed, and on the
death of his mother, in 1846, it appeared that
she had left that and other property to the
wife of the insolvent for her sole and separate use, and
the insolvent was appointed trustee and executor under
the will. He, however, received the dividends from time
to time, and applied them for the purposes of his family,
never taking any receipts from his wife, and ultimately
drew out the whole of the money, and bought two lease-
hold houses in Brixton. The leases were granted to him
not as a trustee. Ile said he believed all the parties who
knew anything about the advances by his mother
wore dead, and he had no papers connected with his
mother's estate, as his solicitor was dead, and his widow
kept the papers as a security for law charges.
Hts HONOUR said that the insolvent answered in such
a❑ unsatisfactory manner, that unless he answered more
distinctly he would commit him. He could not remem-
ber what occurred when the final order was granted, but
he found a memorandum that the insolvent should
come up every six months to give an account
of his property and abide by the order of the
court. The insolvent's statement was highly impro-
bable, and the case was one of the worst which had come
before the court. Not a word was stated in the schedule
as to the insolvent's interest in the property.
The insolvent was further examined as to other pro-
perty which had not been inserted in the schedule.
His HONOUR ultimately said that, unless the insolvent
adduced proof of the assignment of his reversionary in-
terest, the final order would be rescinded, and if it was
proved to have been made, as there was no trade
assignee, the official assignee would, on being indemni-
fied, try the validity of the transaction—there could be
no doubt there had been a juggle.
The case was then adjourned.
