!lortly after tlli in the month of°Jorte, I 803, the
wArriage took place, and the father of the Petiiiimer
paiddown his 10001. but the bankrupt not finding it
cptiveniept to give 10001. , paid 1.?,51. the interest.
for half a year. Tu April 1804. tie his bona'
to the Petitioner for 9001, and agreca to give
the other 1001. in furniture ; but this not. being
done, he on the Bth of May following, gave his
bond for 10001. which. the Petitioner now prayed
he might be at liberty to prove.
Mr. BELL, on-the other side, submitted, that the
prayer of tho Petition should not be granted, as he
con! cived the bonds, were given incvntemplation of
bankruptcy, and that therefore the PetitiOner would
not be alloWed by the Coins issioners toprOve either
of them.
. •

The Lola) CHANCELLOR said, if they, were given
in contemplation of bankruptcy, they could not he
allowed ; but as there might be some circUmstance
stiblequent to the parole agreement, and before the
signing the bond,.such as, for instance, the,payment
of interest, which would .be sufficient to take it cut
of the statute of fraud, his Lordship was of opi-
nion, that it should be sent back to the Commis-
sioners to inquire what agreement was entered into
before the passing the bonds, and also whether ei-
ther of them were gften in contemplation of Bank-
ruptcy?

EX rmiTr. STEAD, ;21' ,THE MATTER OF SMITHIES

AND OTltl S, BANKRUPT%

Mr. Ricit..DS stated, that the prayer of this Pa,.
tition was, that the Commission issued
,an the
Bankrupt, at the suit of the :Petitioner, but not with'
his own consent, should be superseded, and that Mr.
Lee; the Attorney who issued it; should par all the
expellees incurred. It appeared from the affidavit
of the Petitioner, .that the Bankrupts Were indebted
to him 1601: and Mr. Lee, an' Attorney; living in
Leeds, where the Bankrupts carried on business,
offered .to get the money for him, and desired
hini to call on him in a few &wt. • The Peti-
tioner:accordingly did o, and Mr. Leethen told
him to sign two papers ; one of them was an Affi-,
davit of the Defendant, and the other he did not
know the contents of. Some time after this the
PetitionersaW one of the Bankrupts; and consented
to giVe them time for the payment 'of the money,
provided they would pay,Mr. Lee eighteen shillings
costs, which, he said, had been incurred. They
then went to Mr. Lee together, the Bankrupt to pay.
the: costs, and the Petitioner to desire him to stay
proceedings ;. but, crn their arrival, were informed
that the commission had been taken out. The •
davit then declares positively, that Mr. Lee had no
dire6tions to take this step, and' therefore prays that
the t ommission may be set aside, and that he may
be compelled to.pay. the expenceS..
• Mr. Itommvir, on the part of Mr. Lee,. read
affidavit, and thd affidavits of two of his clerks, all
or which ccintradiOed. the affidavits on the other
side; pOsitively averring, that the Petitioner bad
Called several times at Mr.-Lee's office, and had left
direaions to have the CanunisSion instantly issued ;
and had even blamed Mr. Lee for not issuing it.out
sooner than' he did. • From these allidaVits, the
Learned Gentleinan Contended, that the Oonrtconld
not grant the Petition, as, if they did so, it must in
fitl'be 'supposed that these three persons were per-
jured,- 'and of that there was not the, sligliest hint
thrown out at the other side,
-.. The Loan C Ws.Ndtl. Loa said,, affidavits were
so «ontradiaory, that the matter must sttind ,Over
until he had time to examine them minutely.

On WedneF.day morning last Mr. T.Topwood,
Clerk at Tolgooth Mine, near St. Austell, who;:o
mind had be some time uwettlea, hung himself I
in an outhon,e • adjoining his dwelling. ,He could
not have been suspended above ten minutes. Wll6l
he was discovered by his '*ife, who had the pre-
sence of mind to cut hint down ; but it was too'
late to restore him. -

On Monday se iinight Betsey Males was execlit
ed at the drop, over the county gaol, Exeter, fOr the
murder of W. 'llOgers, and her bodf was delivered
to the Surgeons fbr disseEtion, pursuant to her .sen-
tence. From the moment of
.her conviEtion, to
that of her being launched into eternity, she con-'
dueled -herself With a Christian penitence becoming
her ianappy situation. .
An Inquiition was taken on Friciay, at Wilsey,
Oxfordshire, by Mr. Tubb, Coroner for Oxford, on
view of 'Jul. Eernm, aged'26, Who lost his life the
same day, near -Rinser Bridge,, by. a blow-on the
stomach from the shaft of a waggon he was driving,
in endeavouring to • stop. the 'Willer horse, which
killed him on the spot.—Verdiet; Accidental D.mtia.
Yesterday sennight an inquisition' Was taken at
Newton, near Kirkby ',mashie, before J. Gardner;
Esq. one of His Majesty's Coroners' for the County,
on the b-ody of the Rey. Thomas Holden, whiCh
had been taken out 'of the river Lune on the day
before. It appeared that the deceased had been in
a desponding way for some tithe ; that on the Q7th
he -carne from Balsa% near Orniskirk (where
he had a living and school; :about twelve months
ago),' to Kirkby Lonsdale, and lodged tlicae till 'the
7th inst. when, it teas supposed, he had tal7:en.an
opportunity of throwing himself .into .ti:e river.—

Tuesday last, as the wife of 810g,i.,!, of Cliitter-
b4y, Was purchaSiner wine-goods in the shop of Mr.
on theparadee, a, blood-Veiscl suddenly burst
in her leg, and OccasiOned her death within the apace
of five minutes, before any surgical assistance could
be procured. Being far idvaueed tit her pregnancy,
the CmSerian operation was , performed, but without
effect.
A stranger, who says his name is George Smith,
was appiehended at Northampton on Monday Wm-
night, on -suspicion of :having stolen a horse, which
he was then offering to sale at about half the value,
saying the hotie had been given him by a brother :
his conduct and appearance beint very suspicious,
he was taken before Charles Smith, Esq. one of His
Majesty's Justices of the Peace for. that town ; and
upon being examined, said that he came from
soe, in Bedfordshire, but retuned to give 'any other
account of himself he was, therefore, committed
to gaol for further examination. Sortie circum-.
• stances have since transpired, which lead to suspi-
cion that his real name is John Penny, and that the
.horse was stolen yesterday sc'nnight fromChesham,
4 in BuCks.
