LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE JAMES BROMFIELD.
The insolvent in this case was opposed by Mr. Haghe,
on behalf of a creditor named James Carpenter.
It appeared that Mr. Carpenter had rented a house
from the insolvent, in Camden Town, and some of the
clauses in their contract not having been complied with,
the present opposition was entered in order that the in-
solvent might be compelled to lodge in Court the lease
of those premises under which he derived a beneficial
interest.

Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS ordered the case to stand
adjourned until the lease be produced.

IN RE PHILLIP SPENSER HARRISON.

The insolvent was the proprietor of an ironmonger's
establishment in Holborn, known as the sign of the
Little Dust Pan. He had been a bankrupt some time
back, and the investigation under his present petition
had been frequently before the Court, and adjourned
from time to time. He was supported by Mr. Wood-
ruffe, and opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of a person
named Rowland Williams.

Mr. Williams having entered the box, in reply to Mr.
COOKE, said he could not be termed in strict parlance a
creditor of the insolvent, although he (Mr. Williams)
had become security for him in the sum of 200 L, and con-
sequently wished for the assistance of the Court.
Mr. NICHOLLS said, as Mr. Williams was not a creditor,
be had no right to be heard in opposition.
Mr. Golland, a literary teacher, having been examined
with respect to purchasing some furniture and other pro.
perty which formerly belonged to the insolvent, and the
use of which he was still allowed by Mr. Golland,
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the insol-
vent's balance-sheet required some amendment, and as
he was at present out upon bail, he should order the case
to stand further adjourned.
