COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 11.
BANKRURT PNTITYONerr—ri. E'ARTE PARQUET.
This was a petition from Mr. P4rquet, to be dis-
charged out of custody, upon the ground of his having
made a full and fair disclosure of-his effects, under the
commission stied out against him. It appeared
that the petitioner was indebted to Smith and Co.
bankers, in the sum of 194000 L four of which had
been transferred to the house of lEensington and Co.
and though the former had proved wider the commis.•
siou, the latter had refused to prOVe, and kept the pe-
titioner in custody. The affidavits of two medical trien
were affixed to the Petition, who stated, that if the m-
titioner was kept much longer in confinement, his life
would probably fall a sacrifice.
Sir S. RemILLY said, the conduct of the creditor
was cruel in the extreme, and cited 4 case to prove
that 4 creditor refusing to prove his dept under a com-
mission of bankruptcy, was not legally justified in pur-
suing the bankrupt, by confining him, to the immi-
nent danger of his life.
Mr. lAKT, on the other side, said the bankrupt had
not made 4 full disclosure of his effects ; that the plea
of illness was a pretence ; and that if he would give
Messrs. Kensington security in 20001. for his not leav-
ing the kingdom, he should have is liberty.—The
case stands over upon this proposal, his liherty.—The
çse tards vu upon thLs proposal, till Tuesdainext.

ral, The circumstances under which this ship had
been captured by an gpglish cruiser on the 25th of
December last, were curious and unaccountable, She
had on the sth of November front Boston, be-
fore she could have heard of any Order in Council is,
sued in this country • and although warned by a
Guernsey privateer the bay of Biscay, that she
must not enter any but a British or American port,
the Captain proceeded for St, Andeso, 4 Spanish port
the nearest he could Make in Pirope,but in approach-
ing that port, he was captured, It appeared try the
depositions of the Master and Mate, as well as the ship
papers, that the Captain knew not the real owner of
this ship, which was suspected to be, in reality, the
ship named the Old Colony, Captain Parry, The
goods, which were of various kinds, were shipped by
it Mr. T. roppin Jones, of Boston, consigned todivers
persons at Bayonne and St. Sebastian—at the first of
w which places the Master was to receive a gratuity of
one hundred dollars above his wages, which threw a
further suspicion upon his motives in disobeying the
interdiction a the Captain of the privateer, 4iaa
without irresistible necessity progeedins to 4 blockaded
PPM
For the claimants it was stated from the log hook,
that the ship was leaky and cony the time of her
voyage, after the First seven days ; and the weather
being stormy; bat necessity required the Captain to
make the nearest port, or to complete his destination
for lilayonne at 4 Itaamis. The ship not being duly
claimed, nor the necessity, pleaded being of that !Mix-
riots or irresistible Wed Ala the law deems a justifi4
