BY HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

J. METCALFE'S PENETRATING HAIR BRUSHES, for
all kinds of Uses.
THE Universai Reception and Unbounded Pa-
tronage, (beyond all parallel) given to these New In-
vented BRUSHES, by all Ranks in Society, is a wonderful
instance of their excellence over every other Implement for
Cleansing the Head from Scurf, thereby strengthening,
beautifying, and promoting the growth of the Hair.
As HORSE BRUSHES, they are approved and recom-
untided by Professor Colman. They are alike esteemed for
all kinds of Personal Uses, as for all. Domestic Purposes,
wherein a greater degree of cleanliness will prevail, and com-
bine economy-with expedition. They are also of the greatest
consequence for Manufacture and Machinery, and are highly
appreciated by a number of the first artisans in the coun-
try, the superiority of the Patent Brushes is so great, that
(in comparison) all others are wholly useless ; as will be
‘proved on trial.
Patent Brushes arc warranted free from whalebone, or any
adulteration, and at the same price as genuine Brushes here-
tofore made.
To be had Retail of the Patentee, No. 38, Great Mary7le-

ROBINSON AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES OF WM. ALEX.
BEET), AN INSOLVENT, V. WM. ALEX. REED, WED-
. DERBURN AND OTHERS, TRUSTEES OF THE SAME.
In this case Sir S. Romthev stated that this was
a bill 'filed by the assignees of Win. Alexander
Reed, an insolvent, in consequence. of the follow-
ing circumstances :-777A Mr._ Reed had acquired
a considerable fortune hi the East Indies, and
was the father of several illegitimate children,
of whom the -insolvent was one. The fa-
ther, the testator, Dominated the other defendants
as his executors and the. trustees of his son, who,
being then only 16 years of ate, was by them to
be put into a mercantile house, for which purpose
the testator lett 10001. and in that place lie was to
remain for three years, he being allowed a small
sum doting hthe .first year, and a double allowance
the second and-third years ; and on arriving at
the age of 19, he was to receive the balance. In
the same will he gave in trust to his executors
10,0002: which was to be given to his son at
the age of 26, and meantime to be under their
controni, anti to be given only provided the said
son conducted himself in a proper manner. In
iSla the young man became insolvent, and took
t .e benefit of the Act, appointing the plaintiffs
his assignees, and ,stating in his schedule that he
expected the said sutra of 10,0001. By an order
of the Master of the Rolls that sum was paid into
Court, and he had improperly got an order that the
interest of that sum be paid to himself. The ob-
iect of the present application was for an injunc-
tion to restraoi the Insolvent front receiving the in-
terest of that sum, and that the said interest be paid
to the assignees of the plaintiff for the benefit of his
creditors. Such a motion, he Lad no doubt, wcedd
appear to his Lordship to be absolutely just ant; es-
sentially necessary for public eqaity ; for if persons
were allowed to take the benefit of the Insolvent
Act, and permitted to live after such a step in
luxury on what was not their own, but in truth
the property of their creditors, then the benevo-
leut intentions of the Legislature of the country
would be done away:with, for surely the law was
meant; solely for. protecting the debtor, but at the
same time for doing justice to the creditor.
Mr. COLLINSON made -a few observations on
the SHIM Sidci. • :
Mr. LEACH, On the other side, contended, that
aS the defendant, his client, was depending on the
trustees, irtheY felt his conduct trial in any view
been iiuhtoper,.th-ey were by means hound to
give him a shilling according to the testator's will,
yet if a man was imprudent in early life, as in-
deed 'was too commonly the case (for who on
the first introductio:o_to the stage of public enjoy-
mons did not in.. some instance or another act
imprudently), anti if he did afterwards correct his
conduct so 'at to gain apprObation, would his
Lairdship think it proper to visit him with the
sins of
.early years if the trustees thought proper
'0 o•erlook such conduct, and to carry into execu•
