(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE TREDDENICK.

This bankrupt was de.eribed as of Gresham House,
Old Broad street, share and mining agent, and today
was appointed for his last examination, which had been
adjourned from time to time with a view of superseding
the bankruptcy, anti negotiations to that effect are still

going on with a probability that the arrangement will be
satisfactorily carried out. An adj )urnnment was there-
fore taken fora month.

IN RE SALTER.

This bankrupt had carried on business at Witham,
Suffolk, and now came up for his certificate supported
by Mr. W. R. Buchanan.

Mr. Bagley appeared to oppose for several creditors,
on the ground of fraudulent misrepresentations, as the
bankrupt had represented that he held a Copyhold
estatz and had a building erected upon it, after he bad
parted with his interest, he Lad also ordered goods with-
out means of paying.

Mr. Buchanan urged that there had not been any
fraudulent intention on the part of the bankrupt who
was a youg man and had had the property left to him ;
bene-
ficial to hint, as it was charged with claims to nearly if
naostatihseo a l
full amount. He (wNiars., hßo.)wtehveerre far from
fore submitted
that, although there might have been some indiscretion
on the part of the bankrupt, it was not such as required
any judgment of the court.
His Honour considered that the opposition by Mr.
Lester (one of the opposieg creditor.) had been made
out, and therefore suspended the certificate for six
months, and then to be of the third clas, without pro-
tection for three months.
The bankrupt was taken into custody on an existing
suit.
