COOPERS' COMPANY.

Mr. James Smith, Clerk of the Company, was sworn,
and handed in the list for revision. There were three
claimants.

Mr. PEARSON appeared to support that of Mr. David
Salomons, of 16, Cumberland-street, Portman-square, and
contended that it was unnecessary to prove the notice, in-
asmuch as the name of Mr. Salomons had been inserted on
the list of claimants.

Mr. TAMLIN observed, that even should his decision be
in the claimants favour on that point, a Committee of the
House of Commons might think differently, and he would
therefore advise all persons to give the best evidence in
their power.
Mr. Smith deposed that he saw Mr. Salomons sign the
notice, which had been regularly served upon the Clerk of
the Company. _ . .

Mr. PEARSON then proceeded to support the claims of
Mr. Salomons at considerable length. He understood that
the objection was founded upon the circumstance of Mr.
Salomons having obtained his freedom by redemption or
purchase, subsequent to March, 1831. He contended that
the statute was a penal one, as regarded its disfranchising
clauses, and as such, must be strictly construed ; and he
should show that in the present case the Legislature
had given an
,advantage to the City of London, which
had not been conferred upon any other city or borough.
The 32d clause was that relied upon by the objectors to
Mr. Salomons' claim. That clause pointed out two distinct
classes of voters---the one burgesses and freemen, gene-
rally, and the other freemen and liverymen of the city of
London. The proviso relied upon was that no person who
should be admitted a burgess or freemen since the Ist
of March 1831, otherwise than in respect of birth
and servitude shall be entitled to vote as such. Now
he (Mr Pearson) would contend that the omission of
the word " liverymen" in this proviso was fatal to the ob-
jection, as his claim was in right of his livery and freedom.
He hoped a decision would be given upon the subject with-
out much delay, as the question was one of very great im-
portance.
Mr. Town was heard against the claim, and relied con-
fidently upon the clause which disfranchised all those who
had obtained their freedom by purchase after the time spe-
cified in the Act.
Mr. TAMLIN deferred his decision, as the question was
one which required some consideration.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

Several insolvents who were unopposed had their peti-
tions heard, and were ordered to be discharged. Among
them were Benjamin Heyman Friedland, John Palmer,
Robert Smith, John Sloman, and John Aliright Cale.
John Margesson, a cattle salesman, living at Aylesbury,
was opposed by a creditor in person, named John Gibbs.
He was supported by Mr. Woodroffe.
The complaint of the opposing creditor was that he had
purchased several sheep of him, which he had converted
into money, soon after which he went to America, from
which place he returned last September. The insolvent was
questioned by Mr. Gibbs respecting the debt alleged to be
due to Mr. Goode, the creditor, who had arrested him.
The insolvent said he did not know his address as he was
going about the country. The insolvent positively denied
that the arrest was a collusive one.
Mr. WOODROFFE enquired of the opposing creditor
whether the sheep were his property, or that of Lord Car-
rington.
Mr. GIBBS stated that he had paid Lord Carrington for
the sheep, and that they were his. The sheep were pur-
chased at an auction by the insolvent in December, 1833.
The Insolvent stated that he owed money•to the opposing
creditor previous to the purchase of the sheep. There were
several creditors whom he was afraid of besides Mr. Gibbs.
But many of their debts he disputed. He admitted the
debt of Mr. Goode, because he knew he could not dis-
pute it.

Mr. Gibbs stated that he was an auctioneer in Ayles-
bury. Remonstrated with Mr. Goode for the course he
had adopted. He appeared before the Court, knowing full
well that he should never get a penny of his debt, but o-,:ty
for the purpose of setting himself right with his neigoe,:thours
at Aylesbury. He had seen the opposing ~..„.editor re-
peatedly at the insolvent's mother's house, and spoken to
him several times. Had applied repeatedly to the in-
solvent for the condition of sale, but ',mild never get one. On
the very afternoon he had prornised witness payment of his
debt, the insolvent quitted, Aylesbury. The Learned Com-
missioner bad the greatest difficulty, so wrapped up was the
witness in his case, to make him adhere to the rules of
evidence.

By Mr. WOODROFFE—Witness had had repeated tran-
sactions with the -insolvent, all previous to the last two
which he had regularly settled. The witness was Chair-
man of Mr. Hobhouse's Committee at Aylesbury, at which
the insolvent acted as a. waiter. Did not appear against
the insolvent under the impression that he should get some-
thing from his mother, but merely for the purpose of show-
ing him that he would not be robbed with impunity.
Mr. Gibbs then called a witness named Jones, who
stated that he considered the insolvent and the detaining
creditor to be on the most friendly terms, and that the
arrest had been made by him to cheat Mr. Gibbs.
The case was then adjourned for the purpose of the de-
taining creditor being brought to town to give evidence, as
well as the insolvent's mother.
