an Academy at Pentonville, who formerly had under

died towards bins with a friendship very uncommon
to he found. He lent him-above 1,3001. with which
the '
young man took two farmi in this county, one
called Organ's Farm, and the other Tikewater.—
As a security, he took_ a bond and warrant of attor.
ney. Finding that he was likely to lose his money,
unless lw put his security in execution, he entered
upjudgment, and sued out a writ of Fieri
His former pupil, and his friends immediately set
their heads together to defeat his remedy, and the
plan they hit upon was to trump up .a 'bankruptcy,
wl'ich should over-reach his title. The Learned
Counsel admitted, that, if a fair ad of bankruptcy
was euitimitt'ed prior to the execution of the Plain.
tiff, however. hard it might be, his Client must
lose his remedy, and come in paripairm, with other
erratum. The adtion, as he had before stated, was
for a trespass, by the. Messenger of Bankruptcy
.etzing.these goods, which the. Piaintiff had'before
taken possession of under his Writ of Fieri
.It was kir the other side to prove the att. of bank-
ruptcy ;. he should only, in the first instance, prove
their seizure..

The Uldet Sheriff of the County proved that the

of the Plaintiff, on the 27111 of February last. • It
Was also proved that the present Defendant had en.
tered as Messenger to the CommisSioners of Bank-

that be appraised g ,u;ds from Mrs. Wood to Pohlad,
at a house it; Pentonville, on tire itzh of Decemhcr,
1798, :It the sum of [4ll. 13s.
Clerks in the other two creditors' houses proved
their respettlive debts, so as to make up the joint
debt more than tool. as required by the B ink topt
Attn.

To prove the trading, Poll oral's father was called;
he'etated, that hiN sari had purchased straw at three
several times, which he had converted into chaff,
and sold at the London markets : that he had bought
heasts and shrep to sell again; and that he hail
once bought coals, which he sold again.

an uncertificated bankrupt ; that the coals were sold
to• Pollard's brother.in.law, who was alsti an 'uncer..
tificated bankrupt ; .and that part 91 the cattle were
sheep, which were kept on the farm till they lambed,'
before they were sold.
Harvey, a Clerk in the Costom.house, proved
that Pollard had 'denied himself to several creditors.
Mr. Gmotow, in reply, insisted that the whole
of this bankruptcy was a fraudulent scheme to de.
.feat the Plaintiff of his remedy, and described. Pol.
lard as born in insolvency and bred in- bankruptcy,
and that this trio of bankrupts had combined to
cheat the poor honest schoolmaster.
'• The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and
left it to the Jury determine upon the petitioning
creditors' debt, and the ads of trading.—Verdia for
