INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 31.

Thomas Hake, who kept an eating-house in Graces-
alley, was brought up on his petition and it appearing by
4is schedule that he had, on the
.12th of May, made over
to a Mr. Ireson his premises, and the good-will of his
business, the Commissioner required an explanation of
Oat transaction, for which purpose Mr. hewn was eia-
Tined ; who stated, that he was son-in-law to the insol-
vent; had freqnently advanced him money to enable him
to carry on business. After the Royalty Theatre had been
burnt, the business declined, and his creditors began to
bear hard on him. Witness perceiving that he was likely
lio become insolvent, prevailed on him to assign over to
iniself the premises and fixtures, &c., which was done at
ti, fair valuation: he could show by documents that All his
transactions with the insolvent,. were . of a bona fide de-
Ocription.
i I 4 Chief Commissioner inquired, 'if witness had at
limy time opposed the discharge of an insolvent. Being
answered in the negative—," then," said he, " should it
vet' happen to you to come here for such a purpose, and
,that the insokteht should have made over all his property
to his son-in-law,. I hope you will remember this case."
The insolvent was discharged.
1 Elizabeth More, of Kensington, a widow, was • brought
pip and opposed, on the ground of not having entered in
:her • schedule a, ' deed of marriage settlement, which she
'had made over am collateral security for men.), borrowed.
She wee remailded until Friday, that the holder of the
deed might give an a.ccotrat of the 'various sums of money
which be had lent Diu it.

William Baster, of Stepney, a beer dealer, was op.
posed by John Dtmn, a wine-merchant, who stated that
the insolvent had purchased of him, in December, 1824,
a hogshead of wine for 19/. 10s., for which he promised
to pay ready money. When witness asked him for the
money, ,be said he had it not, but would give him a hill,
payable at his hankers, Sir Win. Curtis and Co., in two
months, which witness necept,ed ; but when he preierited it
it the bunkers he was astonished to find that they did not
know the insolvent, whereupon he called on him, and the
only Satisfaction be got was, that he might have his wine
back.- Witness said that was not fair as he had paid for
the wine himself. Insolvent said be could not help it,
but if he wished he would send the portbaok, and take
a hogshead of inferior sherry instead. This was done, and
Insolvent gave him' a bill for the amount of the sherry,
which ,was also dishonoured. . • .
The Chief Commissioner said, that in all this transac-
tion there was not the shadow of ,a complaint against the
insolvent under the Act of Parliament—the fact of the
first bill being dishonoured, ought to have opened the eyes
of the opponent; in what occurred subsequently, he saw
nothing unfair in the conduct of the prisoner.
Dunn—put there are several creditors here who have
got bills in a similar manner. •

Commissioner—What is that to you, Sir; are you be-
come their common voucher ? It is lucky that you have
others' to back you.—The insolvent svni discharged.

CATHOLIC MEETING.
(From the Duldin,Wesning Post.)
On Friday, pursuant to requisition, a Pupa ate meeting of ca.
tholits was held at the Corn Exchange, t'or the purnma of adopt-
ing such measures as will protect the independent electors wbo
are now threatened with a persecution by their landlords, and to
obtain, such information as Will enable them to prepare petitions to
Parliament on the subject. •
Joni DILLON,' Esq. was called to the Chair.
•

CONWAY acted us Secretary.
Mr. O'Dwvra said he had, at the hot meeting of, the Catholic
Association, suggested the necessity of appointing a Committee to
receive the complaints of the Forty Shilling Freeholders who might
be persecuted for asserting their independence at the late Eke,
Lions ; It was then thought necessary to call a separate rneetingfor
the purpose, and in consequence the present meeting had been
convened. Mr. O'Dwyer then moved, , •
That the • following be appointed a committee for fourteen
days, for the purpose of receiving all the information of persecu-
tion against the Forty Shilling Freeholders, for their corunAutional
conduct, and for acting upon it in such a manner as they may
think advisable."

Mr. A. Baowti expressed his cordial concurrence in what had
fallen from Mr. O'Dyryer.
Mr, Ranatown said, it was impossible to expect a feller meet-
ing at this time of the year. The gentlemen of the law are on
Circuit, and all others who are not detained by business, are out
of town. The old Association instructed the-Forty Shilling Fres-
holders in the knowledge of their rights, and induced that honest
hotly of men to come forward and fearlessly discharge, their duty.
If new, when they are suffering from the oppressive and tyranni-
cal treatment of their intolerant landlords, the Association do not
throw over them ate, shield of its protection, it might he iMPOI4-
ble again to excite them to exercise their rights. The collection
of the Rent should he immediatelY n
commenced in every parish i
Dublin. The future prosPeets of the country depended
exiiitence of such a Protecting fund.
Mr. Coarws.v, in reference to the thinness of the Meeting, o""

A 'Committee was then appointed for the, purpose of receiving
all)-dinformation of perseetition against the Fdrty- Shilling Free-
