BANKRUPTCY COURT, NIAReu 22.

EX PARTE PALMER IN RE PALMER.
The bankrupt in this case resided at Bath, and applied
to have the Commission sued out against him susperseded,
or a person, on whose evidence it had been issued, exa-
mined, viva ?Nice, before the Court.
Mr. Moivracu stated the case for the petitioner. On
the 10th of November, 1831, an execution was put into
Palmer's house, but was suffered to remain in possession
of his stock and goods till the 16th, when the creditors
began to sell them. Palmer and his wife upon this re-
moved to the house of Mr. Mott. a friend, who lived
about five yards off, and slept there that night. On
the following morning he went by the coach to New-
bury, to consult his professional adviser upon what he
should do. After an absence of five days he returned
to Bath, and foand that a Commission had been sued
out against him. This was principally done on
the evidence of a man named Bishop, a sheriff's officer,
who was in possession of the bankrupt's property, who
swore before the Commissioners, that on the 16th Mr.
Palmer said he " should not answer any one, and would
go out of the way." The petition having been presented,
this man Bishop now made an affidavit, in which he state!
that Mr. Palmer consulted him on what he had best do,
and on his declining to give any advice, said, " Well, as I
suppose other creditors will issue writs against me, I will
go out of the way." lie submit'ed to the Court, that
under these cit cuinstances, this was a proper case in which
to exercise its power of examining a witness viva voce.
The Court was of opinion, that under all the circum-
stances justice could not he done without a viva voce exa-
mination of Bishop, though, from the suspicious circum-
stances under which the bankrupt left his home,
he might
not reap great advantages from it. The Court, therefore,
ordered, that on the second day of Easter Term Bishop
mouldanc ed be brought before it, that the bankrupt should be in
atten, and that
evidence the either party might adduce what oral
y thought fit.

Bill
---................11••
:he Reform i
110 s to be carried up to the
ose of Peers by Lord AlthorP, Lord John Russell, and Mr.
Stanley. Bets to a large amont have been laid in sever of
the Flub-houses at the west end of the town, that, the Bill would
not pass the Upper House ; but since Saturday, many who had
bet that it would be thrown out, have offered 254 to be let off
a bet of 1(101., which has been refused in several instances, but
in others .it has been thought prudent to take it in ready
money, rather than run the risk probably of not receiving the
larger sum, in case of winning. It is understood that several
of the Bishops have promised Earl Grey to support the Bill in
;,11 its stages
Within a few; and some Peers who formerly opposed it have,
days, sent in their adhesion to Ministers. It is
also positively asserted that there is at present a majority of
fourteen in favour of the measure in the House of Lords, but,
toassurance doubly sure," a creation of Peers will im-
ediately take place ;
in the number not to exceed nine. To
„this number the House of Lords has no objection.—Morrsing
