LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
MESSRS. CHAMBERS' BANKRUPTCY.

IX-PARTE CHAMBERS IN THE MATTER OF CHAMBERS.

Mr. MorrAouz proceeded this morning to read the evi-
dence upon this petition. The affidavits of the elder Mr.
Chambers expressly denied that he had any fraudulent inten-
tion on Isis part in removing the box of papers from the custody
of the board of management ; be admitted his having placed
the box in the hands of Mr. Denhew, one of the commit-
tee, and a creditor to a large amount. Mr. Chambers
denied that he had in any manner declared his concurrence
in the proceedings under the commission ; that be
had either canvassed for the appointment of assignees,
or solicited his creditors for his certificate, or that of his
son. Affidavits were filed on the part of the petitioning
ereditor, A'Becket. The Committee of Management and
of the Assignees distinctly contradicting these statements of
Mr. Chambers, and alleging acts of acquiescence which
were wholly inconsistent with the positive swearing of that
gentleman.
The Vicz-CtrAxcEm,on was anxious to hear the affida-
vits of A'Becket (the petitioning creditor) read. That
gentleman formed a most important part of the case.
Mr. M"T.acust proceeded to read that gentleman's
affidavit, v denied that he had acted in concert or
collision with either the board of management or with
Mayhew, a s
stated most unequivocally that he had,
throughout all his proceedings, been alone directed by his
own judgment, and not influenced by any improper or corrupt
motives.
