BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

IN
THE MATTER OF SCRIVENER, A BANKRUPT.
This case it will be recollected from what we stated yesterday,
was ordered to stand for hearing today, in order that the
solicitor might be served. The application was for the dit,cliargo
of a person named Augustus White, from the custody of the
Warden of the Fleet.
Mr. SWANSTON this morning appeared for the solicitor, Mr.
Gilbert, and stated that in consequence of his client not having
bell served till past three o'cicck yesterday, he was not in a
condition to bring that evidence before the Court on the part
of his clients, which, if further time had been allowed, he
should have been able to procure. But independent of that,
he had two objections to urge against the hearing of this case ;
first, as to the jurisdiction, and secondly, as to the facts, which
he thought would be fatal to the hearing of the Court at the pre-
sent moment,

After some consultation with the Learned Counsel and Mr.
Montagu, the latter gentleman stated that as it would be neces-
sary, upon the two objections which had been stated, to make
affidavits, it was quite clear it would not be right for him, on
behalf of his client, to call upon the Court to decide the case
at present. And what ho should therefore propose, was, that
his client should pay into Court the On and a fraction, the costs
of the attachment, which the Learned Counsel understood
would be
tion, and upon his doing so he should be liberated from the
forty pounds, and also the costs:of the present applica.
Fleet, and that the merits of the case should be argued on ano-
ther day.
Mr. SVCANSTON thought that the present offer would not
hare the effect of securing his client. He should be at all times
willing to do anything that would tend to the liberation of a pri.
sorer, but it was his duty to protect the interest of the party
for whom he appeared, who could not have justice unless the
Court decided the question of jurisdiction and the validity of
the attachment.
Mr. Justice PELL did not see how the Learned Counsel's
client could stand in a better situation than having the money
lodged with an officer of the Court, to abide the result of any
order the Court might make.
After some further discussion it was agreed that 110/. should
be paid into the hands of the Registrar
of the Court, the pripmeT
