BANKRUPT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR had read the affidavits'
and the impression they produced had confirmed the
opinion he had delivered when the arguments wers
closed. The first question was, whether the Caur,t
had jurisdiction; and next, if it had, whether th'4
was a fit case for the exercise of that jurisdiction 111
compelling repayment, and declaring a forfeiture of till
debt ? That the Court had jurisdiction was begot'u
doubt,that the repayment ought to be called.for,there
could be as little; but it would be premature to de
clue the debt forfeited, until the verdict of a jik,rY
had been returned upon the facts. A creditor liar
been offered a compromise which he refused to se-
cede to; he subsequently authorised his attorney
negotiate for the sale of his debt ; the debt was so
nominally for 19s. in the pound, but in point of fact
in such a way as to yield 225. in the pound, and 1°
a person substantially representing the bankruP
The creditor had sworn that he knew nothing of the
' party with whom his attorney had dealt being i°
any way connected with the bankrupt; the other
side alleged that he was informed of this fact. up
der these circumstances the Court directed an Wu"
to try whether the creditor had reason to belies
or suspect, that the party purchasing the debt d
represent the bankrupt.

A WARD.
L
The LORD CIIANCELLOR stated, that he nauA readd
the papers in the case in which Mr. Knight had
applied for leave to take a ward out of the jurisdiro
tion of the Court, and he had found it impossible t
acc
Mr.ed to the application.
e KNIGHT observed, that any security or unf
dertaking would be given, not only by the father°
the ward, but by persons of the highest respects,
bility to any extent.
His LORDSHIP said, that if the ward was penit;
ted to go out of the jurisdiction of the Court, tl
Court could have no further controul over him, °fit
in such a case, should an application be made to tils 0
effect, the Court would feel extremely reluctant t,
enforce a pecuniary penalty on the securities for 0111,
misconducted. It was therefore absolutely oece'
sary to refuse the present petition.

RE GOODeHILDE. Of
This matter was called on upon the subject ,
costs. Mr. AGAR was on the one side, and
RUSSELL on the other. In the course of
wrangling observations made at the bar,
'ate('
The LORD CHANCELLOR felt it necessary to 1--, v
fere, by saying, you had better, Mr. Russell, olifinst
Mr. Agar to finish before you rise again to intertur
him ; upon which ir
Mr. RUSSELL said, if I am not to rise, my '-
till Mr. Agar finishes, that will never be.
Mr. AGAR, after a pause, and with great war°
said—my Lord, if we are to have these obserl;
tions made at the bar of the Court of Chancery'd
will be infinitely better to have the Court ahOli9bei,
altogether; and made, too, by .a gentleman wh°
encouraged here to be a reporter of this Court. „J
The LORD CHANCELLOR interrupted the Lear l'..;s
Counsel by saying—Well, the best way of puttu.,‘
an end to them on your part is to pass them c's"'
without further notice.
Mr. AGAR—But—but— have
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Agar, if J°" ;, to
any thing to say to Mr. Russell, you must 511 will
him out of Court. I must request that rt. 041.•
proceed to address yourself to the case, and,to
dress me. One circumstance that creates great
fr "n
convenience and delay at this bar is, that gentlenceh
are very much more in the habit of addressing ea
other than' the Court.
