LAW INTELLIGENCE. 'I

INSOLVE. T COURT—(THISDAY.)
IN RE JOHN HIGGINS: :
The insolvent was an engineer and machinist, car- •
rying on an extensive business in Broad-wall, Lam-
beth. His petition was opposed by Mr. Woodruffe, `
on behalf of Messrs. Thomas and Saunders. He was
supported by Messrs. Nicholls and Cooke.:
It appeared that he contracted debts to the amount
of 1,8341. in the space of a very short time. An exe-
cution was put in upon the premises, and the insolvent's
son bought up much of the property, and continued
to carry on the business as before, fulfilling several
contracts. which the insolvent had entered into pre-il,
vious to the execution. A docket was endea-
voured to be struck against him, 'but this having
failed the insolvent defended the action brought
against him by the opposing creditors. A meeting of
creditors being called soon afterwards, .a sum of
1,4301. was found to be due to the firm, but it was
alleged on the part of the insolyent that his son
perfected the work on account of which this sum
was due.

Mr. WOODRUFFE, on behalf of the opposing cre-
ditors, contended that the Court was called upon to
remand the insolvent fora very lengthened period, on
the grounds,of having vexatiously defended the action
brought by his clients; of having made away with
property, to the loss of the body of his creditors ;
and also for the concealment of certain property of
which he was possessed at the time of his arrest.
The Learned COMMISSIONER ordered the case to be
adjourned, in order to serve some creditors whose
names were omitted, and to file a new balance-sheet,
with such amendments as he might be advised, as the
present case was one upon which the Court felt bound
to inflict a remand.

country. A public meeting will be held on Tues.,
day; August 16th, on Stepney-green, and on Thurs-
day, August 18th, on Islington-green, to take
into consideration the conduct of the authorities in
violently assaulting and massacring an unarmed Iv'
pulace, whose only crime was want of food. English-
men, attend in your thousands, and show your svol-
pathy with your brethren in the north, and your'de-
testation of tyranny. Chair to be taken at seven
o'clock.—Stutter, printer, 3 and 4, Church-row',
Bet linal-green .")

placard, and he was promised half-a-crown for his
day's work.

were entirely innocent of the nature of the /31acard,

recognizances, in the sum of 101., to keep the peace
and be of good behaviour for two months, and on $
repetition of the offence to be immediately taken up.
