REVIEW CO URT.-(T HIS DAY.

IN RE PETER PYNE.
Mr. M'CuRISTIE appeared in this matter for Mr. Abraham
Haines, the petitioning creditor. For several years prior to
September, 1840, the petitioner and Mr. John Evans carried
on the business of provision dealers, as partners together, in
the Borough. In September, 1840, a dissolution of the partner
ship took place. Upon that occasion, Mr. Evans assigned
over t• Mr. Haines all his interest in the partnership debts
and effects. At that time there was a debt exceeding 1001. due
to the partnership from 13)ne. Mr. Haines struck a docket,
and issued a fiat in bankruptcy against Pyne for the debt, as a
soparate debt due to him. When he attended, on the 11th of
the present month, before Mr. Commissioner Fane to proceed on
the fiat, the Learned Commissioner refused to allow bins to do so.
He considered that the petitioner's claim was only an equitable
claim, and not such as could enable him to support the fiat.
Under these circumstances Mr. M'Christie applied for liberty
to amend the fiat by inserting the name of Mr. Evans into it,
upon fresh docket papers being filed, and having the debt
described as a joint debt, due to Haines and Evans.
The Conic?, after some little hesitation, granted the order
as prayed.
