JUDGait,NT CREDITORS.

The following is an outline of Lord Brougham's recently
introduced Bill intituled "An Act to make creditors who
have proved under process in bankruptcy or insolvency judg-
ment el.( ditors of the bankrupt or insolvent" :
The preamble sets forth that it is expedient to give addi-
tional remedies to creditors against debtors who having been
declared bankrupt or insolvent do not account in a satis-
factory way for such property as has been traced into their
possession, or who have not kept such books as they ought to
have done, or who have not continued to make the usual
entries in their books up to the time of their bankruptcy or
insolvency, or who may appear to have been guilty of great
extravagance in their expenditure, or who may have put
their creditors to unnecessary expense by vexatiously resist-
ing proceedings taken against them in Courts of Justice for
the recovery of debts, arid who for these or for any other
reasons shall appear to the Commissioner to be undeserving
of protection. And the clauses enact that the Commissioner
of Bankruptcy may suspend the protectian granted to a
bankrupt, &c., and may again renew and suspend, &c. As-
signees are to be deemed judgment creditors in certain cases;
and creditors who have proved to be deemed judgment cre
ditors. If protection is withdrawn from bankrupt, &c., Com-
missioner to grant certificate thereof according to the form in
the schedule. Assignees, &c., holding such certificate may,
when sealed, procure the proper writ of capias, &e., against
bankrupt. If the bankrupt shall be in prison under a capias
so issued, the Court may order his release in certain cases ;
and if the bankrupt, whose certificate, or insolvent whose
final order has been refused, shall appear to be in possession
of property, the creditor may apply for an order to seize the
same for his owu use. If the bankrupt, &c., not being pro-
tected, shall be in possession of property as the reputed owner,
the same may be seized.

SWINDLING BY A SHAM UMBRET.LA-MENDER.—A
fellow who cries " Umbrellas to mend" has been within the
last fortnight victimising several ladies and servants residing
in Montague and Bryanstone-squares, and in the new streets
and squares on the Paddington side of the Edgware-road.
The following is his swindling system. He has always with
him several repaired and unrepaired valuable umbrellas and
parasols, and when he knocks at a door, or is called in, he
says that this or that umurella or parasol belongs to Mrs. So
and So, giving the correct name of some lady in the vicinity,
and giving his address (false), sometimes Star-street, or
Praed-street, or some lesser street abutting on. them in
Paddington. By these representations he obt
gocd parapluie or parasol, wanting only t sins many a
rifling repair, but
which he takes good care to repair for any one but the
owner. He is a middle-sized, stoutish, large pale-faced man,
and about thirty-five years of age.
SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—Tuesday morning, at an
early hoar, tile body of a newly-born male child was discovered
floating in the canal near St. John's Church, Paddington. The body
was conveyed to the nearest public-hones, where the summoning
officer took charge of it. Information was forwarded to Mr. Waklen
the corcoer, but th.! inquiry has not yet been fixed., There were
several marks of violence on the body, and the general impression
is that the child has come by its death by some unfair means.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is
16 per mine, which at the English Mint price of Si. 170.1014 d.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OP EXCHEQUER, June 24.

(Sittings at Nisi Prim; at Westminster, betbre the CHIEF
BARON and Special Juries.)
_PRoVI,9IONAL COMMITTEEMEN. REYNELLv. LEWIS.

This was an action to recover the amount of the plaintiff's
demand in the character of 'an advertising agent. Mr.
, Knowles, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Willes conducted the ca,e
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jervis, with whom was another
learned gehtletmui, appeared for the defendant.
It appealed that the plaintiff was a well known adver.
tising agent in, Chancery-lane, and that, like most other
gentlemen in that capacity, he had become the mediuM for
obtaining the insertion in the different journals of ad-
vertisemedis for railway companies. Amongst these was the
Central Kent Railway Company, of whica the defendant
was a; member of the provisional committee, which ;n the
course Of the evidence it was proved had been formed in
Septembet in the last year, although it bad for some time
previously Clem projected. The so icitors to the cenrern
were Messrs. Parkes, Smith, and Co., of Bedford
row, but the :offices of the company were eventually
opened in Mansion-
:.iouse-place. From the evidence of a
Mr. Parkes, who had V 1
a clerk in the office of the soli-
i.;:
citors, it seemed that a few 4.
cltivs atter tne announcement of
defer dant calld at the
the formation of his railway, gig
office in Bedford-row, and stated d.!: S 3 bad been esolicited
by a friend of the firm to become a rtlei-',..bPr of the provi-
sional committee of the "Central Kent Raiewii •" The de
fendant made several inquiries as to the course tb: line was
to take, the names of the
of
who were to be },!aced
committee, and of those who had given their cot;
sent thereto ; and had then stated that they were
all most unob;ectionable, and that he should be very
happy to be associated with them on the commit-
tee. He further, in the course of the conversation.
manifested great intereet in the concern, and gave it as his
opinion that the battle would be between that and the North
Kent. The defendant eventually tett, handing his card to
the witness, bearing his name engraver on it, and his de-
cription as a director of another tine, with his two places of
residence written underneath. In the tirst prospectes that
was printed after this interview an error was made in the
description of the defendant. whereupon he called down at
the office of the company, and begged that the correction
might tie made. This alteration was subsequently carriedt
out in accordance with his instructions. The eefendant
was frequently at the office, but there was no evi-
dence to prove the meeting and acting of any -com-
mittee. Early in November, when the panic had set in,
the defendant wrote a letter to the editor of the Times, de,
noutecing the liberty which had been taken by persons con-
nected with several other companies in' placing his name on
their lists of committees without his consent or permission,
and stating that he had consented bat in two instances, of
which one was the " Central Kent," to act upon a committee.
On the 13th of October a circular was dispatched to him
stating that the managing committee had come to the reso-
lution of allotting 150 shares to each committeeman, and
expressing a desire to know what of that !lumber, or whether
the whole, the defendant would like 'to have. The circular
was transmitted to the defendant on the 15th of ifeteber,
and on the succeeding day he wrote back to the effect that
he intended to take the 150 shares. Early in November,
however, he again called at the office, and inquired what
was doing, and in the course of the conference with the se-
cretary he expressed it as his opinion that it would be un-
wise to allot shares to the public, because, in consequence of
the panic, it was quite manifest that no one would take them
up. He therefore suggested, as a wiser plan of action, that
there should not be any allotment.

The circular to the defendant as a committeeman, in re-
ference to the 150 shares, and the answer of that gentleman
stating his intention to accept the whole number, were put
in and read, as well as the registered consent of the defendant
to become a member of the committee.

-----
Mr. Street, of the advertising department of the Times,
was then examined, and he proved the insertion of the ad-
vertisements in that journal, and the payment for such in-
sertions within two or three days after their appearing.
The CHIEF BARON said, that if it was the course of busi-
ness that the advertising agent was liable to the paper for
these matters, it did Ilk signify, so far as the present cause
was concerned, whether the plaintiff had paid the money or
not. 'The defendant, or the party from whom he received
the order, was, at all events in the first instance, liable to the
plaintiff.
Mr. JERVIS begged his Lordship to take a note of the ob-
jection.

The CHIEF BastoN—Csrtainly; but I think it is perfectly
clear.

Mr. C. Barker, an advertising agent, in Birchin-lane,
proved that 10 per cent. was a low sum to charge as a com-
mission for the great trouble the agents were put to in these
affairs.

Mr. KNOWLES then said that he had witnesses from nearly
every journal in London, and many in the country, to prove
the insertion of the different advertisements, unless his
Learned Friend would admit them.

This admission having been made,
Mr. JERVIS addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant,
whose case, he submitted, stood upon a very different ground
from that upon which all other railway cases that had as yet
been presented had been based. In every other instance
proof had been given that the committeemen had acted upon
the committee; bet here there was a total absence of all evi-
lence to Chow that even a single meeting of the committee had
ever taken place. There was no pretence for this ac ion
against the defendant, for the real and the only parties (see-
ing that there had never been a meeting held) were the
solicitors, and upon their shoulders alone the whole of the
liabilities ought to rest. Then, there bad been something.
like as many as twenty-two actions brought (as we under-
stood) for the recovery of this account ; so many, indeed, as
that the parties, to save trouble, had had the form of the de-
clarations printed. He apprehended, that even up to the
present moment, the law as to what would or what would
not make a provisional committee man liable was not parti-
cularly clear. At all events, he should contend that the
rig ht of action was against the party by whom the contract
had been made. There could be no doubt who that party
had been in this case. It was not the defendant, because
there had never been any meeting of the committee, whilst
the solicitors had given all .orders without any resolution of
the committee to authorise them to incur any expenses.
The CHIEF BARON told the jury that the question
they would first have to consider was, whether the defen-
dant by becoming a member of this provisional committee
had thereby authorised either the eolienors or the secretary,
or indeed any meniber"of the committee of management.
to publish to the world that he was a person who was
responsible for the necessary expenses of forming and carry-
ing out the company. If they were of opinion that that
consent gave such an authority' then they would have
to say whether the work alleged had been done and per-
formed, and if so, there could be no doubt but that the
plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. He did not consider
that the question as to with whom the contract was
made was the most convenient mode in these cases of leaving
the matter to the jury. Certainly it was not the most con-
venient in the present case. He would not therefore put
the question of contract, which was a complicated question, to
them. Then arose the question as to whether a man's name
being in the list of a committee would render him liable. If a
person gave his consent to his name being so placed, that act
would authorise his being held out as a person who would
be responsible for the payment of all necessary expenses.
If that were done, there could be no doubt of the liability of
the defendant. But of that they must be satisfied upon the
evidence. Upon that point this was the testimony:—On
the 26th of September last year the defendant called at the
solicitors, and bad, as the witness had -proved, consented to
become a member of the provisional committee, and on the
let of October that consent was registered in pursuance of the
late Act of Parliament, which required the registration of all
committees of anything like a joint-stock company. In pur-
suance of that statute the names of the gentlemen consenting
to become members of the committee of this company had
been duly registered on the Ist of October. They would
have to say whether the expenses which had been incurred
with the plaintiff were reasonable and proper. A provisional
committeeman must know that there were certain expenses
' which must be gone to, and that those expenses must be
paid by some one or other. He must have known that ad-
vertiseinents were absolutely necessary to put forth a com-
pany before the public. Well, then did he, by consenting
to act as a member of this provisional committee, authorise
the solicitors or the secretary of the company to incur these
necessary expenses? The next question which then arose
was, did the plaintiff give credit to the company on the faith
of the responsibility of the parties whose names were on the
list of the committee? That was for the jury to determine
on the evidence. It had been stated that there had been a
large number of actions brought for the recovery of this
claim. If that were so, it was highly improper, and be was
not sure that the Court did not possess the power to prevent
such a practice, if it could be proved that the object had been
to create bills of costs.

The jury, after a few minutes' cenFultation, returned a
verdict fur the plaintiff— Damages, 5781. 4s.

Mr. Hyman here returned to the diary, and read the follow•
ing extract:—

May have just received a lawyer's letter—the Brae
for a long time. I have called t.n the writer, who is an
amiable man, and has pronti,eci to give Inc time. I cams
home under mingled feelings of sorrow, delight, anxiety. and
anticipation, and sat down to my palette under irritable
influence. My brain became contuscd, as I foresaw ruin,
misery, and a prison before me. I went on with my picture,
and rejoiced inwardly at its effects; but, my brain harassed.
and confused, fell into a deep slumber, from which I did not.
awake for an hour. I awoke cold—the fire out; ;Lad went
again to my picture."
The following was next read
May 14.—This day 42 3 ears I left my native Plymotah

than 20 years sen."

Mr. liymaii here observed, that throughout the diary be
found frequent complaints
,ot the loss ..f time the deceased
suffered from continual interruptions owing to his embarrass-
ments. Appended to one of these complaints was the fol-
lowing remark :—" I am more and more convinced by
experience that the loss of a day to an artist is a great injury
to any work on which he may be engaged."
" May 2i.—Worked hard at my picture. and advanced ine-'

thus :
