INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-SEPT. 11.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.)
IN RE JAMES DIGBY WRIGHT.

Tnis insolvent, described as of no trade or pro-
fossion, was opposed by Mr. Reed for Mr. Yeat-
man, hosier in Regent-street. Several c editors
appeared in person, named Reeves, Bonthron, Ed-
miston, and Porter. Mr. Sargood supported.
In 1851 the insolvent was discharged under the
act. He now owed about 2,0)01,, and had 103
creditors on his present schedule. He had been
seven months in prison, and was in a bad state of
health. He had been a lieutenant in the Artillery,
and, with the exception of two years ended in 1856,
when he was in the service of the Great Western
Had way Company, he had been in no business or
profession. He had assistance from his friends, and
was entitled to some reversionary interest. Hei ob.
tained hosiery goods of Mr. Yeatman's shopmau
to the amount of 181. some odd shillings in the
name of Captain Digby Wright. He took apart-
ments at the house of a working man named
Reeves, one of the opposing creditors, where he had
" five servants" and owee44l. Mr. Bonthron, a
baker, had a trade bill and cashed a check of a
person named White, who was now iu Australia.
Mr. Edmiston, waterproofer, of 69, Strand, com-
plained that he got an opera glass from him and a
waterproof coat ; and the other complainant was a
washerwoman.

On the part of the opposition it was urged that
the in3olvent had pursued a reckless career of ex-
trava,gance, and had no reasonable expectation, if
he over had the intention, to pay his numerous
creditors.

Mr. Sargood made an appeal to the Court on ac-
count of the insolvent's state of health and the im-
prisonment he had already suffered.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy said he meant to give
a long judgment. It was a case of reckless extra-
vagance. He found among the debts one for an
ice-pail for his wine. Ho could not consider the
insolvent's state of health so as to prevent him pass-
ing a long remand. The learned Commissioner
gave a judgment of 12 calendar months, remarking
that had he not been in prison seven months he
would have given him 18 months' imprisonment.
