LAW -INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCITE:Qum?,
June 5.
(Sittings in .Banco.)
CAUeSIDIEAE V. LONG!.
This was an action of:libel by the celebrated member
of the Provisional Government of Prance, in which he
sought to recover damages,from the defendant, the pub-
lisher of the Morning Post, for the Oublioiktioo of certain
voluminous extracts from the.panapket of, chew!, in
which it may be remembered that certain disclosures
were made by no means creditakile or flattering to the
character of the ex-Prefect of Police. The defendant
pleaded" Not guilty," and a special plea of justifica-
tion, reiterating the charges in question. To this there
was a special demurrer, on the ground that the plea
ought to have given the names of places and per-
sons where and with whom thuse charges affected the
plaintiff. _ _ _

Mr. PEARSON appeared for the plaintiff in support of
the demurrer, and stated that ,the plaintiff was about to
establish himself in business as a merchant in this coun-
try, and that his main object in bringing this action was
to elear himself from those:imputations in the pamphlet
which affected his honesty in respect to the disposition of
funds, alleged to have been raised by him in aid of the
Poles and to have been diverted from their destination.
He contended that the plea was bad from its generality,
and cited several cases in support of that proposition.
Sir F. PoLLocx did not see why the plaintiff should
not take issue on the plea as it stood. It he wished for
particulars he ought to, have applied at chambers.
plea, which, under
ththeecase, was perhaps as
Mr. ATIIERTON, for the defendant, was most anxious
tt oh
eg op
et ocutlriiaarl
circutinh es
tcahnacregs e so
fi in
full and precise as could have been expected. If, hoe -
ever, the Court thought that the plea ought to be
amended, and his friend would furnish him with those
charges in respect of which he chiefly' complained, every
infortnatioyhould.be given so Ili to enable the plaintiff
to go to trial at once and to meet thew.
Sir F. PoLLocic.—Very well. We think the plea
ought t. ba amended.—Leave to ameA.

CA.USSIDIERE V. LAWSON.

This wa3 a similar action, plea, and demurrer in the
case of the Times newspaper. When it WeIS called on,
Mr. PEACOCK, 011 the part of .the defendant, said, that
as it witi necessary to examine witnesses at Paris, it
would be desirable to change the venue horn Middlesex
to London. •

Mr. Baron PLATT expressed his surprised at the
plaintiff's having brought two actions; if his object was
merely to justlfy his character, surely one would have
sufficed.

Mr, PEARSON vindicated the course of the plaintiff by
stating that in the case of the Times the libel was of a
larger character than that iriseried in the Morning Post.
Mr. Baron PLATT—Theu you ought to try the case of
the Times alone.
Ultimately, after some discussion, it was arranged
that the venue in this case should be changed to Surrey,
and that in that of the Morning Post the venue should
remain as originally laid, in M►ddloaez. The result of
this will in all prop►►bility be that the action against the
Times will be tried at the ensuing assizes, and before
that against the Post can be reached.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 5.
(Before Mr. Coin nisaioner PANE.)

IN RE LEE.-RIGHT OF CREDITORS TO BE ADMITTED
AS JUDGMENT CREDITORS.

The bankrupt was a barge-builder at Hotherhithe.
His HONOUR this day gave judgment upon the point
that be had reserved for consideration. He said this
was an application by a creditor under c. 257 of the
Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, 1849, by which it is
provided that each creditor who proves uuder a bank-
ruptcy shall be deemed a judgment creditor, and upon
application shall have a Certificate of the fact front this
court; upon which certificate ,he may obtain from the
proper office of one of the superior courts at Westmin-
ster tee common writ of capies under which he may Im-
prison the bankrupt if that court refuses to protect him.
The clause is one of twenty-five clauses in the new
Bankrupt Act, constituting a code of criminal ot-
fences and punishments. They are all embraced in
the 39th subdivision of the. Act, and are all headed by the
formula, ‘. And with respect to offences against the law
relating to bankrupts: Be it enacted,", &c. Thence it
is apparent: that the object of' that clause was not to en-
force the payment of a debt, which, genera!ly speaking,
is the object of the writ of capies ad satisfactendum, but
to inflict punishment upon fraudulent debtors. Having
reviewed the state of the bankrupt law from Henry
VIII. to the, present time, his Honour proceeded to state
that one of the advantages consequent upon the recent
alteration of the law was, that, nu debtor could be pun-
ished by the Commissioner without the aid either of the
assignees or a creditor, nor by a creditor without the
concurrence of the Commissioner. His imprisonment
could notahus continue a longer period than au impar-
tial person might deem necessary for example sake; c.
257 makes the assignee and each creditor judgment cre-
ditors, zed point* out bow they shall be enabled to arrest
the bankrupt; and c. 259 provides that the bankrupt'
shall not be released under one year's imprisonment,
except by order of the Court. To apply these clauses
to the case before me, the bankrupt Lee had behaved
extremely ill to his creditora in Many respects,
but he has also committed one of the offences spe-
cified in c. 256, that of putting a creditor to unnecessary
expense by vexatiously defending an action. I therefore
fell - in obedience to C. 256.
As soon
bound
as t
me' judgment I was re=
quested by the assignees to grant them, under c. 257, the
had refuse
p rona protection,nee,
certificate necessary to enable them to punish the bank-
rupt. lof course granted it, and I was then asked by a
creditor who had been wantonly put to expense to grant
him a similar one also. To this it was objected for the
bankrupt, that as I had granted a certificate for the as-
signees I could not, under c: 257, grant another to an
individual creditor, first, because the language of the
clause was in the alternative "on the application of the
and secondly. because it
was inconsistent with old and recognised principles
that a debtor should be in • execution et the suit of
two persons for the same thbt, which the bankrupt
would be if imprisoned by the assignees as trustees
for all the creditors. and again by one cf the ere-
asiignees or of a creditor;"
itfreslchboats:igXeses objections, and am of
were tru. tees. I have
yforcownl:
opinion that there is no weight in either of them. As
cdeitr.lerfsull
to the latter, newly, that it i 3 contrary to recognised
principles that a debtor should be thus imprisoned, the
answer is that the object of this imprisonment is not to
compel payment (even instantaneous payment would not
end the itnprisonment), the object is punishment; and
that being so, the old principle has no application here.
As to the first objection, founded on the language of the
clause, I tun of opinion that the true meaning of the
clause is, that the Commissioners must grant the certifi-
cate to all who apply. The object of the enactment
being punishment of the guilty, Parliament
. must have in nacting*
in-
tended that all who would assist .
.that punish-
ment . should receive the utmost possible assistance, for
no evil can arise frem the reasonable punishment of the
guilty. If this Court were to hold otherwise it would lay
itself open to fraudulent devices, through which the 1.
guilty might escape. Under the present system of electing
assignees, assignees in league with the bankrupt may be
easily elected, as they often have been, and in all such
cases the assignees we old instantly ask for the certifi•
case to prevent others f:orn obtaining it, and would
then take care not to use it, and thus the ends of public
justice would be defeated. Such fraudi were formerly
committed as to commissioners and fiats, whilst only
one was allowed to exist at a time. They were taken
'out by persons in league with the debtor to prevent
their being taken out by persons really hostile. It
would be a most dangerous interpretation of this new
law to expose it to such evasions. On the other
hand no mischief can arise from the issue of any num-
ber of certificates, fer all can lead but to one impri-
sonment, and that, imprisonment will cease when the
Court is of opinion that it ought to cease, having regard
to the offences of which the bankrupt may appear to
have been guilty. Upon the whole, therefore, I feel my-
self bound to grant a second certificate to the individual
creditor. "
