IMPORTANT QUESTION-IN RE PRESTON.

This bankrupt was described as of Kingsland, to-
bacconist, and he now came up for his certificate.
Mr. Pook, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the bank-
rupt ; and Mr. Beard, of the same place, as a creditor, and
also as solicitor for other creditors ; Mr. Apps for the as-
signees; and neither of them opposed.
Mr. Pook addressed the Court, and submitted that
although the bankrupt was in prison on the action of one
creditor, the fact that neither the assignees nor any of the
other creditors (the assignees being themselves creditors)
did not oppose, the bankrupt was justified in asking for an
immediate certificate.

His Honour said that, under the circumstances, he would
grant an immediate certificate of the third class.
Mr. Pook then applied for the discharge of the bankrupt
from custody on two grounds; Arst, that the detaining
creditor had not proved his debt, and, secondly, that the
bankrupt was released by his certificate.
Mr. Bagley contended that the certificate did not operate
until the day after it had been gazetted.
The case stood over for consideration.
