BOLLAND AND OTHERS, IN TILE MATTER OF MARSH,
STRACEY, AND CO. BANKRUPTS.
This was an application on the part of the Assignees,
to have the proof of a debt of 90001. and upwards,
made by Sir Thomas Hare against the bankrupts' estate,
expunged. The facts of the case were these:—Sir
Thomas Hare, who was a Gentleman residing in Nor-
folk, being desirous of raising the sum of 15,0001. on
mcrtgage, the late Mr. Fauntleroy undertook to supply
bit wants. The way in which this was to be done was
by selling out stock, of which he was Co-trustee with
:ahers, wh;cli was done, as it was supposed, at the time,
with the requisite formalities. The sum raised by the
of stock was paid into the house of Martin and
Co. the bankers, on account of Marsh, Stracey, and
CO. When the matt age was executed, the money
was tranqeired Item Martin and Co.'s to Marsh and
Co. and placed to Mr. Fauntleroy's private account.
Sobseqiiently to these proceedings, Sir Thomas Hare
opened :in account with Marsh and Co. by paying in
5001. That sum he drew out at different periods, and
nu:ice was given that his account was closed. lie con-
tinue', however, to _draw .upon..the house, and the
checks were paid by Mr. Faunderoy's directions, and
he made himself a debtor for their amount in his pri-
vate a:count. Matters were in this state when the hous
failed, and Sir Thomas hal proved a debt against the
estate fnr upwards of 90001. which be said he had given
Mr. Fauntleroy directions to invest in the 4 per Cents.
and which it was supposed had been invested, as credit
was given to Sir Thomas Hare in the accounts for
sundry dividends.

Mr: Prays, on b?half of the plaintiffs, the assignees.
contended !hat the tiansaction was purely a. peisonal
one between Sir Th-rnas flare and Mr. Fauntleroy, and
therefore the former was not entitled to prove his debt
against the bankrupts' est Ate.
His HONOUR said, that the question was too much one of account
to allow of hs being decided satisfactorily by him. Ile would
therefore direct an issue to try whether the transaction was a per-
sonal one between Sir Thom is Hare and Mr. Fauntleroy, or a
general one with the firm ?
