here this day ?
Mr. HEATH.—By a rule Nisi, to he beard so far
as appertains to debts not excepted.
Mr. Foster.—My.debt is 5001. more than the
insolvent stated it to be in his former schedule.
Here is his own bill of 5001. to establish this fact.
It was then agreed by the insolvent's Counsel,
that Mr. Foster's claim should be recorded as ex-
cepted to the amount be now desired.
The Court said,- that the insolvent's remand
must still stand, for gross injustice to his credi-
tors, notwithstanding_ these arrangements.
It was, however, finally agreed upon, that he
should be discharged from certain debts in his
schedule, on which no opposition was intended,
but that be should still remain detained for the
excepted debts.
By the application of this clay the insolvent got
rid of several smaller debts ; but the large ones,
of which by far the greater part of the amount of
48,0001. consists, remain still in full force against
him.'

We learn that it was through the interference
of HUMPHREY WILLYANts, Esq. of Truro, that
Harvey, the swindler, was apprehended on the
Continent. Being at Geneva, Mr. \VILLYAMS
was accosted in the street by an English servant,
whom he found upon inquiry to be a native of
Truro, and to have left England with alMr. Har-
vey. This led to torther'questions, and Mr. WIL-
LYAMS had reilson to believe that he had disco-
vered the fugitive, with whose person, however,
he was not acquainted. On communicating his
.suspicions to the Police, the latter required the
;production of Harvey's passports ; as these were
.not forthcoming, he was detained for the purpose
of being sent to EngT..:nd to be identified.—(Cora-
wall Gazelle.)
