In the case of Newall it Webster, which was con•
eluded in the Court of Exchequer, the jury found for the
plaintiff, thus confirming the validity of his patent for
making wire-rope.
John Short, a licensed victualler, came up to pass his
final examination in Bankruptcy before Mr. Commis
sioner Fonblanque. The circumstances of this case are
somewhat curious. The bankrupt (under the new Act
in Bankruptcy) was his own petitioning creditor ; not
one creditor appeared to prove a debt against his estate,
no assignee had been chosen, and yet he appeared in order
to pass his final examination. The Learned Commis-
sioner said that this was one of a class of cases which
called for the most marked displeasure of the Court,
and, without making any further observation, the deci-
sion of the Court was, that the choice of assignees and
the bankrupt's final examination be both adjourned
sine die.
