LAW INTELLIGENCE.
:INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 2.
RE ROBERT HASWELL.
This was the ninth time the insolvent appeared in
Court on his adjourned hearing.
He had carried on business as a plumber and glazier,
in Maidstone, where he was set up in business by his
father, who took a deed of assignment of all the poperty
there. In a short time he sold it out, and set up in
Chancery-lane, in the same business, and having erected
a small partition in his yard, which was considered to be
a nuisance by a solicitor named Duncan, who resided
next door, that gentleman sued him on mesne process, wh en.
a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, with damages- ofis.
only; however the costs were enormous, and the insolvent's,
father, in lieu of his former assignment' at Maidstone,
got another executed in his favour on the stock and pre-
mises in Chancery-lane, all of whic\li he took into his
hands when the insolvent was arrested.
The case had been adjourned from time to time for
the father to give up this property to the general body
of the creditors, and to produce his son's books in Court,
which he had promised to do at each hearing, but as
regularly disappointed the Court, so that the unfortunate
insolvent had been kept a long time in prison, and bad
been so frequently brought up for hearing, and as often
remanded.

Mr. COOKS, who appeared 'on behalf of the opposing
creditor, Mr. Duncan, said he pitied the unfortunate
in-
solvent, against whom his client entertained no feeling 6
of hostility, but he should say that the father seemed in-•
clined that he should be incarcerated.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the conduct of Mr.-
Haswell, sen., was, in his opinion, not to be excused, as-
it was by his obstinacy that the case had been so fre-
quently before the Court, to the serious loss of public
time. Ho should not pronounce judgment until all the
insolvent's
.books and papers were filed in Court, ten
days after which time an order might be issued for his
re-hearing.
The insolvent was then taken back to prison.
RE JEAN BAPTISTE TAMPER.
The insolvent's application to be discharged was sup-
ported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed in person by a cre-
ditor named George Ayr.
The attorney who had beer, originally engaged in this
case was guilty of an irregtfutrity, and his name ordered
to be struck off the rolls, u,iless he paid into Court on a
certain day the money which he had fraudulently r.?.-
ceived from the insolvent..

Mr. LEWIS, who was appointed to act in his place,
stated to the Court that the money had not since been
paid in.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the course he should
observe would be to cause this person to be served with
a rule to show cause why he should not have his name
struck off the rolls, unless the money was paid into
Court immediately.
The opposing creditor stated that he did some work
for the insolvent, upon a gymnasium which he had in
Wardour-streFlt Oxford-street, to the amount of 45L and,
of which he 'nad received no payment.
The ins'olvent in his examination by Mr. COOKE, said
he acknowledged that the work was done, but Mr. Ayr
had contracted to do it for 121.
The Learned COMMISSIONER held that there was mo-
tking in the manner of contracting this debt, that call old
for a remand ; and, no other creditors appearing in 4 )p-
-position, the insolvent was ordered to be dischaived
forthwith.

About a fortnight ago a fine full-grown partridge
flew into the shop of Mr. White, baker, near Park.
street, in Oxford-street, and is now in Ws possession.
