Colonel Copeland, and Mr. Hugh Stratford Stratford. It may be

sued in consequence of the latter gentleman refusing to pay certain
bills of exchraige which had passed through the insolvent's hands.
This day being appointed for the hearing of the insolvent,

bills of Mr. Hugh Stratford Stratford, which the insolvent ex

were not. Should they, however, be paid by Mr. Stratford, there
would be a large surplus coming to the insolvent after paying all
his creditors 20s. is the pound.
The Curse COMMISSIONER said he should not dismiss the petition.
Mr. COOKS admitted as there was an existing petition in the
Court of Bankruptcy, all benefit which might be expected to arise
from the control over the insolvent's property would be realised
by that means.

such application as that made by the insolvent, he must the affida.
