the Alfignem were implleofet, the Learned Condit,
contended that they had done every thing which was
in their poker, and that all the Creditors were fatif-
lied, except the prefent Petitioner, who, in fat, lent
his name to the Bankrupt, for the purpofe of dieurb-
ing the proceedings, now that the real efiate of the
Bankrupt had been fold, and he was called on to
join in the conveyances to the purchafers. But betides,
the Petitioner had nn right to interfere on this ground;
the eopartnery creditors, the dilapidation of whofe
funds alone he could here complain of, having no
tight to claim on the funds of the Bankrupt, till be,
an individual creditor, was fatisfied.
Thislaft petition was denied by Mr: Attorney Ge
neral, who contended that individual creditors were
clearly entitled to objeft, on the ground of want of
proper attention to the collation of the funds of a
company concern, as they (the individual creditors)
in the event of the copartnery creditors being fully
paid, would be entitled alto to come on that fund.
The LORD CHANCILLOR agreed in the correelnefs
of the law laid down by the Attorney General, but
he was afraid in maintaining fuch a plea, he aban-
doned his former allegations of fraud in the original
concoction of the copartnery concern, which, if once
believed, put out of queflion the eve lution of that
concern paying the demands againft itfelf, fat lets
affording a fund for the payment of perfonal credi-
tors. His Lordfhip did not like the idea of a bank-
rupt coming.foftrard, as was obvioufly the cafe in 1
the prefent inflance, in the name of one creditor
againfl all the reft. He, therefore, refuted the ap-
plication.
There was another application in the fame bank-
ruptcy, calling on the bankrupt to concur in the con-
veyance of his property to the purchaferi.
This, however, LIN Lord Chancellor did not think
himfelewarranted in enforcing, the affignees being by
law already yelled in the right of the property.
The ATTORNIT GRwißat., however, contented for
the bankrupt, to all ciliation:us to mortgages being
referred, fu far as the atfignees were concerned.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST S.
P.:4arte wanly.
This was an application to the Court to fitperfede
a Commitfion of Bankruptcy and to pray that the
bankrupt might be paid the cods he had incurred
during the proceedings.
The SOLACITOR Gstuttrac faid, that Mr. Wheeley,
again(' whom the docket had been Rruck, had carried
on bufinefs in felling bricks, which he made from
clay upon his own elate, and had employed a perfon
of the name of Sutton as his Attorney in various
tranfaftions. By numerous proceedings which Mr
Sutton conduited, a bill In the amount of nearly
Soo'. was incurred, and for which Mr. Wedgy
became liable. At this period the latter was pedal',
folvent, and even in affluent circumftances, when
the former thought fit, from motives of malice, to
take out a conuniffion again(' him, and he was In
confequence arteded. The affair came before the
Court of Chancery, and it was direafel that an iffnel
Ihnuld be tried to determine whether Mr. Weeley
were or were not, by felling the bricks made from
the clay upon his own Ante, a trader within the
meaning of the Bankrupt Laws, obtaining his liveli-
hood by buying and felling ? A verdift at the trial
was found in favour of the Commillioners, fubjeer
however, to a fpecial cafe to be argued in the Court
of King's Bench. This clifenffion took place on the
ith of February, in the precast year, when Mr.,
Pookar was beard as Counfel on one fide, and Mr.
Wsapoinacc on the other. The Court took time
for conflagration, and, on the sth of July following,
4etermined that Mr. Weeley was not amenable to
the bankrupt laws, he not obtaining his living by
buying, but only by felling. In confequence of this
determination, the commiffion became fuperfedable,
and the only queßion at prefent before the Loan
Crtancsccoa was, whither Mr. Sutton was not to
pay Mr. Weeley the cods the latter hail incurred
by defending himfelf againd the comminion, thus
wrongfully taken out by the former, who Rood in

tor? It was drenuoufly argued, that the party thus
injuredought to be reimburfed the cods which he had
been put to by the atifcondat and malice of Ms.
Sutton.
The ATTOIVIT Carnal., and Mars. RICKARDS
P and Own, did not mean to deny, that the Commif-
fion of Bankruptcy was fuperfedable; but they trott-
ed that bis Lardlbip, on the confideration of all the
circumßances, would not, where there was not a
ihadow,of realon for fuppofing malice, compel Mr.
Sutton to pay the whole colts incurred.
