INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 8.

A " TRADER" IN MISFORTUNES.—Robert Smith, a car-
penter and Venetian blindmaker, late of Bridge House-
place, Newington-causeway, was opposed by Mr. Coors
on the part of Messrs. Wright and Collick ; he was sup -
ported by Mr. WOODROFFE.
This case presented a somewhat extraordinary appear- •
ance, the insolvent having been twice declared a bankrupt,
and the present being his fourth application for relief under
the Insolvent Debtors' Act. In 1812 he first figured as
a bankrupt, when his debts amounted to about 1,8001., and ,
he did not know that his creditors had received any
dividend. InlBl6 his second bankruptcy happened, and he did
not obtain his certificate until four years afterwards ; be
did not know that his then creditors received any " benefit"
under the commission. In 1821 he made his first appear
ante before the Commissioners under the Insolvent Debtors • ,
Act for relief. He " forgot "he said, the amount of his
debts on that occasion, or whether his creditors had re-
ceived a dividend. He was discharged. In 1825 he again •
figured as an insolvent debtor. His second application was
opposed, and the Court dismissed his petition; he, however,
soon afterwards went out of custody. In 1827 he made
his third appearance in this Court for its assistance, and was
discharged ; his debts then amounted to between 8001. and
9001., and his creditors had received no " benefit" under
that insolvency. The present was consequently his "fourth"
appearance. His debts amounted in the aggregate to 674/.,
of which he had received no consideration for 144/., having
" accommodated" other persons with his name. _ _ .

The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the insolvent
had thought proper in his present petition to omit both his
bankruptcies and one of his insolvencies. He therefore put
it to the learned counsel (Mr. Woodroffe) whether he
could resist the dismissal of the order for hearing, as it was
highly necessary for creditors to know the career of this man?
Mr. WOODROFFE thought he could not.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER dismissed the order
for hearing, observing he ought to know how many times
this trader in bankruptcy and insolvency had been relieved
from his difficulties.

The order for hearing was dismissed accordingly. The
insolvent was remanded to prison.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS-Jury 8.

Isaac Thomas Welshman was indicted for wilful and cor-
rupt
perjury.
The present indictment originated out of a case of bank-
ruptcy. Early in 1831 the prisoner became much embar•
rassed, and a commission of bankruptcy was issued against
him on the 17th of November, 1831. That commission
continued, and on March 5, 1834, the prisoner committed
the wilful and corrupt perjury imputed to him in his evi-
dence before the Commissioners of Bankrupts. He then
swore that after the 17th of November, 1831, between the
first and second meeting to inquire into the bankrupt's ef-
fects, that Smith, the bankrupt, drew two bills on him, the
one for 1981. 18s. 6d., and the other for 3001 He swore
that this was after the commission had been issued, and that
those bills were drawn at the Cock Tavern, Bishopsgate►
and that they were both drawn at the same time. This was
the perjury complained of.
Several lengthened discussions occurred between the 0r
posite counsel on legal technicalities.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Fine salmon was selling at Nottingham market, 00
Thursday, at 6d. per lb.! Of course there was abuadaue
of it, and the fish was quite fresh and silvery.
