Loci:, for Messrs. Reid attired. itt4 Messrs. Barclay
Co. brewers ; and by Mr. Tot;n4bs in person.
The insolvent stated, that he had lately kept a pub-
lic-house, called the Hart and Plough, of which 111essrs.
Reid and Co. were the landlords. lie had borrowed
2(10/. of a Mrs. ',mock when about to commence busi-
ness, and 1001. of his father, and had a little money also
of his own ; but when he was in treaty for die public-
house, he did not inform his landlords that the whole of
this capital was not his own, consequently they ad-
vanced him another 1001.

After having been in business some little time, Mrs.
Locock procured a warrant of attorney from him,
wheieby she recovered her money. He disposedofth
good-will of the house for 1551. and received altogetbc;
360/. from the new tenant, of which he paid 1.01. to biz.
father. His father had been for many years in tl-ze set.
vice of Mr. Courts, of Piccadilly,. where he saved the
money he had lent to the insolvent. He was a ciedizer
in his schedule for the balance.

Mr. Toombs stated, that he had agreed to give tit
insolvent 1601. for the public-house, and paid hila
as a deposit; the house was let to another, and the de.
posit never returned.
The insolvent said, that Messrs. Reid and Co. would
not accept of Mr. Toombs as a tenant.
The COURT ob-erved, that there was no reason for
not returning him his 201. but that was not the poi,,t
before them. • They were of opinion that a clear case
of undue piefetence and fraudulent transfer of prope:tv
had been established against the insolvent, and the' efo,e
oi dere" him to be remanded for eight calendar months,
and confined within the walls of the prison.
Jeremiah Jones Beading was not opposed ; but it ap.
pealed that he had been discharged under the Act in
July last, when he omitted to insert the present debt in
'his schedule. In the latter end of July, IF‘22, he pur-
chased a quantity of watches and jewellery for a person,
who was to send them abroad to Sir Thomas Maitland ;
but the party to whom they were consigned absconded,
and had not since been heard of. In consequence of
this transaction, the insolvent was indicted by the yea-
dor of the goods, and acquitted ; and therefore it %vas,
that he had omitted (by his attorney's advice) to
the debt in his former schedule. Ile never received the
smallest portion of the proceeds of the goods.
The COURT said, that the insolvent could not ht-
discharged without the consent of three-fourths of his.
creditors.

Insolvent.—Then I shall he consigned to imprison-
ment all the days of my life.
The COURT said, that at the utmost his confinement
would nor exceed five years.

Insolvent.—l shall not live half that time. I am now
72 years of age.
The COURT informed him he must comply with the
order.—He was accordingly remanded.

was oppposed by Mr. PoLLocic for the late SheritL,
Messrs. Lucas and Thomson, trader the vexatious liti-
gation section. He went bail to the Amount of 201. ter
Ford, the chief clerk, for which sum, upon Ford's de-
fault, he was sued. Ford took defeilce to the action for
the insolvent, and afterwards absconded.
The COURT ordered him to be remanded for ten
weeks from the date of filing his petition ; which period
