lATOLVEXT DIIRTORS COURT, July2B.

Josephine Bartolosti, the actress, and sister of Madame Vestris,
came up on her petition to be heard. Upon the insolvent's name
being called by the Chief Clerk, and the usual question asked,
.• whether any creditor opposed her discharge ?" no answer was
given.
Mr. Cooke, who appeared for the insolvent, begged that the Court
would allow her to sit down, which request was instantly complied
with.
The Chief Commissioner—Who are the creditors that have en-
tered their opposition against her discharge?
Clerk of the Court—Mr. Green, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Flight, and
Mr. Oirardet.
The Chief Commissioner.—l wish, Madam, to understand what
has become of your wearing apparel ?
Insolvent.---It was worn out, Sir.
The Chief Commissioner.-1 perceive that a large sum of money
is charged for stage dresses.
Mr. Cooke.— Theatrical dresses are always very expensive.
The Chief Commissioner.a know that, Mr. Cooke, but fur the
last three years I see 8001. for millinery goods alone.
7Mr. Cooke.—Yes, Sir, but thca these are most extravagantly
charged.
The Chief Commissioner.—No doubt of that ; but when I see
only 121. 7s. the amount of her excepted articles, there must be
some other property behind the curtain, not given up to the court.
Mr. Patterson, I see, is a creditor for 1041. fur shoes only, within
the last three years ; and to %tr. Weight, of Regent-street, in 1628
and 18211, a debt or 471. for embroidery articles.
The Cbiet Commissioner (to insolvent.)—What has become of
these goods ?
Insolvent.—They are worn out.
Mr. Cooke.-231. le charged for a silver embroidered dress. The
dress, perhaps, was not worn twice, and when the tinsel falls off, it
rrfectlyla valueless.
!slow Chief Coonnissioner.—l want to know where the dresses
are. Ido not see any mention of them in the estate-paper. 'She
clued not be permitted to sweat loosely and carelessly to her sche-
dule. I wish to know, Madam, if the broker saw all your property ?
Insolvent.—All but the siage.dresses.
The Chief Commissioner.—Why has Mr. Midland, her attorney,
filed a blank estate-paper ?
Mr. filatland's clerk said the property had been stated in page G
of bet schedule.
The (lief Ls' numissioner—Where is Mr. Matlatd ? If be can-
nut attend personally, he must be stopped. In page 6 a number of
things are entered as theatrical property which really belonged to
the l'outt. This has not been debuted up. There was a plate
way of doing business which had not been pursued in this case.
Mr. Patterson again presented himself to the Court for the wig.
