LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
OTTEY V. PENSAM.
His Hoxouß gave judgment in this case, which came before
the Court on two petitions, for the purpose of having it de-
clared whether a solicitor, named Burton, was entitled to a lien
on the fund in Court. The case was wholly devoid of public
interest, the principal question being one Of costs. His Honour
referred the case back to the Master.
His Honour Vice-Chancellor Bruco sat to-day in the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)
IN RE HENRY OOLDSMID.
The insolvent was described as of no business or profession,
residing formerly at Vine-hill Cottage, Henley.upon-Thames.
The amount of debts in his schedule was about 3,5001., and in
which appeared the name of his brother, Colonel Albert Gold-
smid, as a creditor for 2,800/.
Mr. Nicholls opposed on behalf of several tradesmen in Hen-
ley, and Mr. Cooke supported the insolvent's petition.
It appeared from the evidence el the opposing creditor, and
the insolvent himself, that he had been made a bankrupt in
the year 1827, when the docket was struck against him as a
wine-merchant ; and although 95.• 3d. was paid in the pound
he never sought his certificate. Soon after that time he went
on the Continent with his family, and his wife, who possessed
an annual income of 214/., which, along with an allowance
from his mother and sister, who accompanied him, and were
persons in very independent circumstances, enabled him to mere
in a respectable sphere of society. •In the early part of
the year 1840 he returned to England, and took Vine-hill
Cottage, upon which he expended a considerable sum in
improvements, and his style of living there, and the ret•pecta-
bility of those with whom he associated in Henley, induced the
tradespeople to give him credit to a large amount. He attri-
buted his inability to meet his debts to the fact of his
mother and sister not having come to live with him according to
a promise they had made previous to his contracting those debts,
most of which were for furnishing and repairing the cottage,
The balance of debt remaining with his brother, which was not
claimed, was about 700/., and the sale of the lease of the cot-
tage and furniture realised a sum which would afford a dividend
among the creditors of about ss. in the pound, and had been
lodged in the Court by the insolvent immediately after his
arrest.
Mr, Niel-toms addressed the Court, and contended that the
debt had been fraudently contracted, under false appearing, for
that his clients would never have given the insolvent credit had
they known he was an uncertificated bankrupt, or that his
means of :support depended upon property which was solely
his wife's.

Mr. COOKE spoke in favour of the insolvent's petition to be
discharged.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said there were cer-
tain dates in the schedule which he wished to see amended,
previous to passing judgment ; and also it would be more
favourable for the insolvent, if some evidence were to be pro-
duced establishing the facts to which he attributed his insol-
vency. He should therefore order him to come up again on
next Saturday week.
