ROSS V. REDHEAD AND CHAMBERS.

In this cafe application was made on the part of
the Plaintiff for a new trial. The circumflances
were thefe. A commillion of bankruptcy had been
ilfited againg the Platintiff, in which he had for a
con(derable time acquiefced, and under which his
property had been ditlinfed of among his creditors.
He, however, brought an action againft Redhead,
who was the Agignee under that cotnmffion, and
a•rainit the Me(fenger of the Commiflioners, for
having fo difpofed of his property, on the ground,
that before that commiflion had lieen iffued, he had
committed an at of bankruptcy which was proved;
the Jury found for the Defendants. To fet afide
that verdict was the object of this motion.
Lord A Lratt s. v obje&ed to the motion, gating
that it would lead to endlels perplexity andlitiga-
, tion, if a Bankrupt fhould be allowed to difpnte
the proceedings of his Affignees, under a Commif-
fion of Bankruptcy, regulatly iffued, merely be-
cattle he could produce -his fervant to prove that
ht had been perhaps a .contiderable time before
denied, by his directions, to a creditor, which was
an ad of bankruptcy.—gule refuted.

lIVAIMINGTON V. UPTON.

Mr. SerjeJtit Sli!PHltilD moved for a Rule to
thew Cjllie why a new trial fhould not be intlititt-
ed in this caufe. This was an anion for the vio-
lation of a contra& for the delivery of hops, in
which a verdift Was found for the Defendant, on
the ground that the Plaintiff's °lie& was to enhance
the price of that article. The eircumflances of
this trial,. which took place at Guildhall, in the
fittings after 1411 Term, have been fully detailed in
this taper. The Learned Counfel contended that
a new trial fhould be granted, becauk inadmiffible
evidence had been received on the former trial ;
and bemire, though Mr. Waddington might have
been convilied of having entered into a contra&
for the purchafe of hops with illegal views, it was
not jnftifsable to infer the: all other contra& he
had enlpiircii in for the fame article, were done
with the fame intention. He maintained that no
evidence had been adduced on the trial, to thew
any fraudulent purpole in the particular contra&
which was the fithjell of this anion. The record
of the Plaintiff's convieion for foreftalling, the
.Lcatned Comae! was decidedly of Opinion, ought

Defendant might have been a witnelb in his own
caufe, for he might be a principal evidence for the
profecution, and fhould not of courfe be at liberty
to bring forward in a Court ofJultice that convic-
tion which had been produced 11-7irr`own telti-
molly, to releafe himself from the performance of
his centraa.

Lord At.vaxxxv obfcrved, that this point could
have no weight, unlefs it afluilly appeared Uptnn
was a witnefs on the profectltion of Mr. Wadding-
ton.
Mr. So Irani repheti he was • and the At.
torney for the Plaintif added, that the Defendant
in his crofs-examination on that trial, Rated that
he had himfelf a contra& with Mt. Waddington,
which he fwore it was his intention to fula—aule
granted.
EVANs v. BENSON.
Mr. Serjeant BEST rofe to fbeiv catife again( a
Rule granted by the Court, that the Defendant
thould be difcharged from the cuftosly of the War-
den of the Fleet Patin. It appeared that the De-
fendant was arrefted upon an affidavit fworn be-
fore the Chief Jullice of the Com Mon Pleas in Ire-
land, which was not fworn to as the Aft of Parlia-
ment prefcribed, before a Judge of the Court here.
The Filacer therefore filed the affidavit irregularly.
The Rule was made abfolute, and the prifuner
ordered to be difcharged.
