LAW INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Commissioner Goulbourn.)
IN RE BARKER.-IMPORTANT APPLICATION.

This was an application to discharge the bankrupt from
custody. Mr. Jones, for the bankrupt, stated, that in
January, last year, the bankrupt came up for his certificate,
which was refused, and protection withheld for twelve
months. The bankrupt had not avoided his creditors, and
had taken a situation as clerk to enable him to support his
family. Although he had not kept out of the way he had
only lately been arrested, and he trusted, as he had
suffered considerably from this absence of protection for a
long time, that he would now be discharged.
Mr. Cox, for the creditors, said that the bankrupt had
carried on business at Pall-Mall, and had once called upon
him (Mr. Cox) in reference to a sum of money due from
Mr. Bernal Osborne. lie wished him (Mr. Cox) not to in-
terfere with the sum owing by Mr. Osborne.
A witness having been called,

His Honour characterised this as a most impudent ap-
plication. One of the charges against the bankrupt was
concealment of property, and he (the Commissioner) had
no hesitation in saying that had the bankrupt been prose-
cuted in a criminal court penal servitude for a very long
period would have been the result. By a trick and specious
statement the bankrupt had obtained from a poor old lady
every farthing she was worth, and his conduct in that
affair was cruel in the extreme. It was a most impudent
application, and would be refused with costs.
