INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner BowEN.)

Thomas Annett, a countryman of rather portly appearance,
was brought up upon his petition to be discharged. The dis-
charge of the insolvent was opposed by Mr. Chadwick Jones
on behalf of the insolvent's nephew, Mr. James Annett.
From the statements of the insolvent, on his examination
by Mr. Jones, it appeared that he had formerly rented pre-
mises from his grandmother, Mrs. Ann Annett, upon whose
death Mr. James Annett, the opposing creditor, became en-
titled to the property. The insolvent laid claim to the pro
perty, refused to pay any rent, and in consequence an action
of ejectment was brought against him by the opposing credi-
tor, which he defended and lost, putting the opposing creditor
to an enormous expense, the insolvent being unable to pay the
costs, which amounted to 771.
The proceedings in the action having been put in, the
Learned Counsel for the opposing creditor submitted that the
insolvent's conduct had been vexatious in the highest degree,
and that, therefore, he was not entitled to his discharge.
Mr. COMMISSIONER BOWEN observed that the Act of Par-
liament had several defects ; by it he was not empowered to
remand the prisoner for putting in a vexatious defence to an
action of ejectment ; he had no doubt many actions of that
nature had been vexatiously defended, and in his opinion in
that respect the Act ,was extremely defective. Many cases of
that description, weighing most heavily on the parties, had
occurred on Circuit.
Mr. NiduoLLs stated that the conduct of parties who re-
tained possession of premises paying no rent, upon the pleas
of having a title to the property, was most reprehensible, and
ought to be visited with great severity.
The Insolvent was ordered to be discharged.
