1,2701. ; assets, 6421.
Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees, and did not
oppose the bankrupt having a certificate, although they
had been somewhat disappointed, as the property
Tillnot realised the amount at which it was estimated.
assignees had been carrying on the business, but he"
been obliged to dispose of the property piecemeal, eas
there was one mortgagee in possession and another not
and the matter had also been in Chancery, and other
mischiefs of that kind. Bankrupt had taken premise°
at a high rental of 1501., and had therefore been num°.
cessful. The assignees rather commiserated the ban
rupt, as his failure might to a great extent be attribute
to that cause, and they would therefore leave the matter
is his Honour's hands.
Mr. Kirkwood, for the bankrupt, said the latter bo
been a waiter at an hotel, and had saved 2001., axd'
having borrowed 2001. more of a friend, took the house
in question, in the expectation that a new neighbour'
hood would be raised, but, in consequence of the failure
of his landlord, a builder, that expectation was not
realised. He, therefore, asked for a certificate of the
first class.
His Honour said that the bankrupt had commenueil
with a capital, although inadequate under the cirotlav
stances, and his expenses had exceeded his profits cull'
siderably, and the bankrupt ought not to have gone on
so long, but, under all the circumstances, the bank'
rupt was entitled to an immediate certificate of tb.
, second class.

Michael Maline, a singular looking individual, NO°
charged with stealing half a crown, the property of Mr.
Bottall, the landlord of the Fox and Goose public•house

was unlawfully possessed of it, consequently he should
sentence him to 14 days' hard labour at Wandsworth.
