LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

Lilt INITISIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, AUGUST /.
- -El.-PARTS WATSON.
Mr. CULLSR said, that this was a Petition from
William Watson, a bankrupt, praying that hii bank-
ruptcy might be superseded, on the ground of his
being an infant, ancit twenty-one years of age,
when the Commission was taken out. In support of
this allegation, the Learned Counsel produced an
affidavit of the bankrupt's father and mother, stating,
that he was born in the parish of Reatham, in Kent,
in the year 1788, but adding, that tt. *register of his
baptism could not be procured, beci.,:s,se was bap-
tized at a chapel of ease in the said parish, Ntisere the
register of baptisms had not been regularly kept.
According to this statement, Watson was made a
bankrupt in 1809, only tour or five days before he
reached the age of twenty-one.
Sir S. RomiLLY contended, that there was no suf-:
ficient evidence of the b irikrupt's minority. .In fact,
ie bankrupt had been two years in business prior to
e Commission being taken out, and, on Ids first
*lamination, he had given himself out to be more
Than twenty-two years of age It so happened, how.:.
ever, that the Commissioners'were not satisfied with
his answers as to the-state of his affairs, and he bad
not appeared when summoned .to attend a further ex-
amination, so that he vans now actually liable to the'
consequences GI thateson-attendance.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he would not super-
sede, the Bankruptcy, unless the creditors assented tO
it. The bankrupt had been two years in business,
and this was prima fade evidence of his being liable
to the Bankrupt Laws. If Watson chose, he might
try the matter at issue in a Court of. Law, by pleading
his minority in the same way as in a Court of Law a
woman, in answer to a debt, was obliged to shew
that she was a femme matte-it.
AUGUST B.—EN-PARTE-••••BAINF.

The partners in the firm of May and Co, at Gree-
nOck, had become bankrupts. The house of Mac-
laughlan, Gault, and Co. in London, were creditors
to a very considerable amount. A meeting of the
creditors were held at which Mr.' Gault attended.—
Upon an examination of the books of the bankrupts,
whose debts amounted to near 70,0001. Mr. Gault
and others were of opinion that the property was al-
, roost sufficient to answer every demand. It was pro-
pored, therefore, that the creditors should take bills
to. their debts, to be paid by instalments. As an ad-
ditional security, Gault agreed to give the other cre-
ditors bills on his house, provided they allowed him
to take 75001. of the bankrupts property immediately,
as an anticipation of his demand. The creditors then
present assented to this, provided all the other credi-
tors should consent. Among those who agreed to
this arrangement was the petitioner, wlpse claim
amounted to about 17001. The house in London
took the advantage of this agreement ; but in some
months after it was discovered that the affairs of the
bankrupts were not in so favourable a situation as was
at first imagined ; and at another meeting of the
creditors, Gault desired to be relieved from the secu-
rities, which had been given under a general mistake.
This was assented to on the part of the creditors,
provided the house of Gault and Maelaughlan would
restore the money which they had received upon the
raith of the agreement to the general fund. This was
refused—and it was consequently determined, that
the securities should be retained. The house of Gault
and Maclaughlan afterwards failed, and a commis-
mission was taken out against them. The question
was, whether the petitioner, as holder of one of the
securities, could prove his debt under this coMnais-
sion ? Against the allowance of the proof, •it was
urged, that the whole of the creditors had not given
a formal assent to the agreement, though that was
one of the conditions ; and that the aveement was
at any.rate founded on a mistake.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the condition as
to the whole of the creditors, was inserted merely for
the security of those who actually assented, and could
not be relied upon by Gault, especially as his house
had taken the benefit of the agreement. The plea of
its being founded cn mistake might have been avail!
able, if the money, as required by the creditors, had
been paid back into the general fund. But that not
having been done, he held that securities were in
force, and that the petitioner had a right to prove—
and it was ordered accordingly.

Thtu sday a boy was killed by the falling of some
tiles from a house in Qucen-street, Leith.

Wednesday se'nnight a young man, about 18 years
of age, in driving an empty cart from Inverury to the
moss of Fetternear, was, by the horse taking fright,
thrown from the cart, and killed on the spot.

, Saturday afternoon, ' about five o'clock, a Gentle-
man passing along Blackfriar's-bridge in a single
horse chaise, 'MIS overturned by a brewer's dray,
owing to the dray-man riding in it, instead of attend-
ing his horses on foot as the law directs, and by which
accident the Gentleman was violently thrown out of
the chaise, the wheels of which went over both his
legs ; but the carriage being light, no bones were
broken.

Saturday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a
portmanteau was cut from behind a coach in the
Strand, by two thieves, but being observed by some
young men passing, they dropped it near the New
Church, and made their escape.
Sunday morning about two o'clock, a hackney
coach, with three persons in it, going along Parliament
street, was stopped by four fellows, one of whom stood
at the horses' heads, while the others robbed the pas-
sengers to the amount of 161. and made their escape.
An artful robbery was committed a few evenings
ago, at a house at Clapham. A young female was
observed throwing up the sash of a parlour window,
but perceiving a constable noticing her, she cried out
mother 1 and the officer went away thinking all was'
right. She afterwards entered the house, and took
away property to the MOW./ of 301.
A private of the 91th regiment of foot, at present
quartered in Aberdeen barracks, received lately a
severe wound with a bayonet, Of which he died on
Tuesday se'nnight. A private in the same regiment
is suspected of having inflicted the wound, and has
been committed to prison, until the circumstances of
the case shall be investigated.
An Inquisition was taken 6n Saturday at the Robin
Hood public-house, near Watford,. on the body of a
Miss MERCHANT, whose death was occasioned by the
overturning of a chaise.—Verdict—Acidental Death.
