LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(I his Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

FAILURE Or A. CORN MERCHANT.---IN RE BASSA.LT.--

- -
JUDGMENT.
His Honour this morning gave judgment in the case of
this bankrupt, who was a corn dealer and factor at Ux-
bridge, and the application for certificate was argued at
great length a few days since.

The bankrupt had been indicted on several cases, but
acquitted, and it was urged on his behalf that ho ought
not be subjected to any penalty under the Bankrupt laws,
but ho was strongly opposed by tno assignees on general
grounds, and by Mr. Way, a creditor, for fraud.
His Honour reviewed the general facts of the case. The
bankrupt had carried on business for 20 years, and had
acquired a reputation which induced persons to place great
Confidencers.... in him, and he appeared to have maintained that
_Li!ur.oautro n without spot or blemish up to July, 18G0. His
onsaid he would read the report of the official
assignee, founded, on the accounts by Messrs. Harris
Brothers and Ha
in-
debted for not bernes, and to which he was, no doubt, in-
convicted at the Criminal Court. He

he could not come to any other conclusion that th
rupt's conduct came within the 253 d section, of obetab"ank-
goods under false pretences from Mr. Way, and
entihnegr
offences ; but there was one great fact in his f, event, that
his books had been exceedingly well kept. Under all the
circumstances, the certificate would be suspended for 15
months from the date of the petition, and then to be of the
third class. He said that before he indorsed the certificate
as to the cause of suspicion, he would give the assignees
and Mr. Way time to consider whether they wished pro-
tection to be withheld, which, if he indorsed the writ, they
must do. He should adjourn his formal judgment for a
week.

The assignees and Mr. Way said they would consent to
Protection being granted.
His Honour said it must be a request, not a consent.
Protection was then granted.

The Commerce Breton, a piper published at St.
Mato, states that the cod-fishing has been very unproduc-
tive this year. The most fortunate fishermen have re-
turned with two-thirds of their usual complement, and
others, more unfortunate, with loss than ono-third.
