BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO ACTS 05' BANKRUPTCY.—An
application was made to the Learned Commissioner to sign
an affidavit of an act of bankruptcy against a penon in the
City, but whose name did not transpire. The affidavit
set forth that on the 18th inst. a creditor called at the ware-
house and made an inquiry for the party, and was told that
he was out. On calling the next morning, deponent was in-
formed that he was out and bad gone abroad, leaving word
that he would not return for a fortnight or three weeks. It
had, however, been ascertained that he was within when he
was called upon the first time, and that a man was in pos-
session under an execution. It was contended that this
amounted to an act of bankruptcy, and that the fact of an
execution being put in alone was sufficient.
The Learned COMMISSIONER went through a variety of
cases, and after a consultation with the Registrar, said he did
not consider the act of bankruptcy made out—the man be-
ing in possession was not in itself sufficient—it must be shown
that at the very moment the party left home to go abroad
it was his intention to delay his creditors. In this case it
was shown that he said he should not be back for a fort.
night or three weeks, which might be taken that he would
return at that time, and be would not be prevented from
taking his pleasure ; the intent to delay must be more clearly
shown.

•
(Before Mr. Commissioner FASE.)
THE COURTS OF BANKRUPTCY AND COURTS OF REQUESTS.
—ln a case which came before this Learned Commissioner
to enforce the judgment of the Brixton Court of Requests,
he observed that the Act only gave him power where the
other Court had competent jurisdiction. It wag, therefore,
necessary to prove before him that the debt was one over
which the Court had cognizance, that the defendant resided
within the jurisdiction, and that all the forms had been duly
observed. The production of a piece of paper proved nothing ;
he must be in possession of all the facts, or he might be lay-
ing himself open to an action.
