INSOLVENT COURT, MAY 3.

A BACCHANALIAN—Henry Oliver, late of the Mg.
ware-road, was opposed by Mr. Goodwin, a baker and credi-
tor, in person, who had supplied him with an abundance
of roll on a credit account. " Eaten bread," says the
proverb, " is soon forgotten," and so it appears in this case.
Mr. Goodwin submitted to the Court that the insolvent
had ruined his circumstances and the just hopes of his
creditors by a too liberal devotion to the god Bacchus, at
whose shrine he av,s nightly in the habit of demolishing
sundry bottles of wine.
Against this sweeping assertion the insolvent entered his
protest, which gave rise to the following dialogue:—
Mr. Goodwin—Now, insolvent, were you not in the
habit of demolishing half a dozen bottles of wine nightly
at a sitting?—(Laughter.) Insolvent—Not quite so
much as six bottles. Mr. Goodwin—Have you never
taken four bottles at one sitting? Insolvent-4 may have
taken four. Mr. Goodwia—On yur oath, Sir, have you
not taken eighteen bottles at One bitting? Insolvent—
Don't think I ever took so many.
The dialogue would have been continued much longer,
but the Court interfered, and observed, that deep as the
libations had been, they were not sufficient in themselves
to warrant a remand in the case.

The insolvent, who is much more likely to promote the
interests of his Majesty's revenue out of prison, than he
could hope to do in it, was consequently declared entitled
to " the benefit of the Act."

GOETHE'S mother related to a friend that he
came-dome one day from the town library (when he was
yet a youth) snapping his fingers and jumping about as if
he were crazy :—" Oh, mother, I have found gush a
hook—the life of old GOTZ ; I will turn it into a play, and
I will call it, ' The Knight with the Iron Hand.' How
that iron hand will make the Philistines stare !" Our
readers probably know that at the German Universities the
world is divided between Student and Philistine ; and so
among poets, artiste, men of taste—all the others are Phi—
listines. It is a curious coincidence that Sir W. SCOTT
began his literary career by a forgotten translation of this
tragedy..—Mthly Repository.
