IN Tug MATTER. OF JONItS, A BANKRUPT.. . .

In this case the bankrupt had been committed by
the Commissioners., for not satisfactorily answering
questions that were put to him by them. It was
stated that this bankrupt had abstracted property, and
had torn leaves from his books. Some time
since an application was made to the Court- for
hie discharge, when his Lordship taking all the facts
into his consideration, thought proper to remand the
bankrupt. It now appeared that his brother had
torn the leaves from the book, and was willing to
be examined. The questions now were as to the
discharge of- the bankrupt; whether he should pay'
the expenses under the Commission, which in eon.;
sequence of the Commissioners declining to take any
fees, amounted to the small sum of 315., or whether
it should be•borne by the assignees who had no pro-
perty of the bankrupt's in their possession.
Mr. KNIGHT to-day applied again for the bank-
rupt's discharge, considering the length of his im-
prisonment (upwards of twelve months) an expia-
tion of any offence he had been guilty of towards
the Commissioners.
Mr. ROSE opposed the application on the part of
the assignees.
his LORDSHIP thought, taking the length of time,
the bankrupt had been incarcerated into considera-
tion, ►•poplcd with the circumstances of his brother
being willing to he examined with respect to the
books, that it was but justice for biro to recommend
the Commissioners to have the bankrupt brought
before them again, in order that he might lee dis-
charged.

ROLLAND, IN THE MATTER OF MAR.SII, STRACEr,

AND CO., BANKRUPTS.
Mr. SUoDEN applied upon motion in this case for
a variation of the order prononneed by the Court a
short time since. The prayer of that rtirion was,
that the Corti would either order the expulsion of
the proof of a debt of upwards of 17,000/., created
through the forgeries of Fauntleroy, or give the
parties liberty to fie a bill in this Court. his
Lordship in giving judgment, the Learned Counsel
thought, had altogether lost sight of the fact, that the
prayer was in the alternative. His Lordship's judg-
ment on nanktuptcy was final, and the questions at
issue were of as great impcn tancc as sliy that
before the court. The learned Counsel was sore
that his Lordship would he as glad that his decision as
a single Judge, should be subject to revision before
a higher tribunal, as any one could he. The ob-
ject here was not delay, but to situ;', if pos;"i-
ble, all
_r_harries.
Mr. MONTA2HIE and Mr. KNIGHT followed .on
the same side.
Mr. Hoßsr, Mr. BICKURSTETH, avid Mr. Pim,-
LIMORE opposed the motion.
His LORDSFHP personally would feel great relief if
his decision had to be submitted to a Court of Ap-
peal. In the judgment he had lately pronounced, he
had net lost sight of the prayer being in the alterna-
tive ; but considered, in giving that, judgment, he
decided the whole ca,e. His opinion upon the pre-
sent motion clearly was that it must be dismissed
with costs.
