IN RE PEACOCK.

The bankrupt, Richard Peacock, of No. 1, Ladbroke-
grove, in the county of Middlesex, plumber and glazier,
came up on the question of certificate.
Mr. Morgan and Mr. Gaut supported; and Mr. Link-
later on behalf of the assigneei, and Mr. Williams, s
creditor for 7001., opposed.
Joseph Miller, examined by Mr. LINILLATIR—Lived
five minutes' walk from the bankrupt's premises. Had
. worked for him up to titnrort bankruptcy. llid
not tell a Mr. Woolridge anything about the removal of
property. Kcew nothing of removal of gotxis to Brixton.
Never told anybody he did. A portion of the bankrupt's
goods were bought by bankrupt's brother.
By Mr. MORGAN—Knew Richard Jones; had said no-
thiug to him in connexion with tot, bankruptcy.
Joseph Emery, examined by Mr. LINKLATER—Was
a joiner, and had been in the cmploy of the bankrupt.
Did not recollect the remfiv 11 of any goods. Did not send
a horse and Cart for that purpose. Never had directions
from the bankrupt to send one. Knew nothing about the
removal of sumo varnish, oils, &c.

By Mr. MORGAN—Always heard that the bankrupt
was an honest hard-working man, and that was his re-
putation in the neighbourhood.
Mr. LINKLATER, in addressing the Court, said that
upon the last examination the assignees had failed to
establish a direct removal of the goods, he therefore
must apply himself to the general circumstances of the
case. Mr. Williams had more right to complain than
the assignees as to the general conduct of the bankrupt,
as the whole of his debt (7001.) was for money lent at a
moderate rate of interest, and he thought the bankrupt
was carrying on a prosperous business. The bankrupt,
however, had always been trading with a load upon his
shoulders, and a large deficiency was accounted for by
sundry estimated expenses. ills books were badly
kept, and there had been a deal of guess-work in the,
accounts. 5004 of his expetms were vouched, and 31"
was guessed at. With regard to the bill givenbdte

Court to grant a certificate.
His iloNoce, in disposing of the case, raid that with
respect to the removal of property, that charge had
failed, and he thought the failure more complete than on
a former occasion. As regarded the general features of
the case, there were two grounds upon which the Court
was called upon to suspend the bankrupt's certificate.
In alluding to the bill transaction, it appeared that the
bankrupt gave a bill to Mr. Chapman after the bank-
ruptcy, and then it was ante-dated; thus an endeavour
wag made to impose upon the Court, and to make that
appear truth which was untruth. This bill was gil
