The bankrupt, Joseph Eartindale Harrison, was a ware-

£4,332 ; creditors holding security, £756; profit; £1,300;

ficiency at commencement, £364. The principal creditor
is the bankrupt's mother, Mre. Elizabeth Harrison, of
Loughborough-road, whose debt is £3,048.
Mr. Plews appeared on behalf of the trustees of the Pro-
vident Life Office, and Mr. Lewis (Harris and Lewis) sup-
ported the bankrupt.
Mr. Plews objected to the bankrupt passing, on the grou
of the bankruptcy being taken out for the bankrupt's own
pnenoses.

• The bankrupt, in acme! to Mr. Mews, said hi• mother
took out :oft aludication ou the advice of her broth, r.

Mr. Lewis explained the circumstances. The bankrupt
had joined Messrs. Warwick and Son as Manchester ware-
housemen in Cheapside, bringing In as capital £2,500, and in
addition to that the bankrupt's motheradvanced£2,ooo, when
it was discovered that it was a "rotten firm," and the money
had been applied to the payment of the old debts of Warwick
and Soo. Through Mr. Warwick, sen., who was an auditor
of the Provident Life Office, an advance of £2,000 was
obtained upon security of the lease, a bond also being given
to which the bankrupt and Warwick, jun., were parties.
On the dissolution of partnership Harrison assigned his
equity of redemption in the lease to the Warwicks, who
'mild have derived every advantage from the favourable
realisation of the property. However, the Provident Life
Office, after realisation of the securities, made out that there
was a balance of £l,lOO odd due to them, although they
refrained for two years from pressing the bankrupt. In
April of the present year he first heard of the claim, and his
mother, considering he had been treated unjustly, adopted
the present proceedings.
The bankrupt confirmed this statement, and said Messrs.
Warwick had accepted accommodation bills for Messrs.
Monteith, of Glasgow.
After some further discussion, his Honour said he thought
the bankrupt had been harshly used, and pass d his examina-
tion, appointing the certificate meeting for 23d October.
dr. Plews applied under the 25th section of the Bankrupt
Act that the Court would withdraw all further protection, as
the bankrupt had vexatiously defended an action brought
by the Provident Life Office upon the bond.
The Commissioner said he thought that the bankrupt had
honestly defended the action upon advice given him, and
therefore refused the application.
