COURT OP CHANCERY, JULY So.
SANKRIJ„j•T PITITIONS.

=PARTE OSBORNE IN THE MATTER OF PARR.
This was a petition to supersede a Commission of
Bankruptcy:.Parr, a Liverpool merchant, some time
ago sailed to Buenos Ayres, where it was understood
he was now settled, without any intention of return-
ing immediately. Before he sailed, he gave notice
by public advertisement, of his intention to do so ;
and offered to take charge of cargoes to sell at Buenas
Ayres. After he had departed, and remained at
Buenos Ayres for a year or more, a creditor of his in
this country took out a Commission of bankruptcy
against him. The Commissioners met, but there was
nobody to prove the act of bankruptcy. They met
a second time, when a person was produced who
swore to a debt due to him before Parr left the king-
dom ; and hence it appeared to have been presumed
that the leaving the kingdom was with intent to de-
lay creditors, and was therefore an act of bankruptcy.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY for the petitioner.—This was
no act of bankruptcy. The mere circumstance of
going abroad would not constitute.an act of bank•
ruptcy, unless there was reason to presume that the
party really did•so with intent to delay creditors.—
This was the utmost point to which the cases had
gone. When a person went abroad in the course of
his mercantile transactions, creditors might inciden-
tally be delayed, but this was not sufficient to consti-
tute an act of bankruptcy. The intention to delay
must appear, or the circumstances must be such,
that it must be presumed. In the present case there
was every reason to presume the direct contrary, as
the party had given notice of his intention by public
advertisement, thereby enabling his creditors to pre-
vent his departure if they chose, and it he really had
any creditors whose debts were due at the time.—
There was another objection to the commission,
which was that the act of bankruptcy was proved by
an incompetent witness, the witness being a creditor
who might prove under the commission.
Mr. HART, contra.—As the bankrupt was indebted
A the petitioning creditor and others at the time of his
departure, and as he went away with the design of
remaining abroad, it ought to be presumed that lie
went with intent of delaying his creditors. There
was property of his here which could not be distri-
buted except under a commission. But suppose there
were not, still if he had property abroad, a commis-
sion ought to issue, as he might be induced by the
consideration of the consequences of not appearing,
to appear and pay his debts. It the witness proving
the aet of bankruptcy was incompetent, they ought
at least to have the opportunity of proving it by an-
other witness.

The CHANCELLOR, taking into consideration that
the mere act of going abroad, without good reason
to presume an intention to delay creditors, WAS not
an act of bankruptcy—that the intention had been
publicly advertised—that considerable delay had
taken place before the issuing of the Commission—
that at the first meeting of the Commissioners there
was no one to prove the act of bankruptcy—that at
the subsequent meeting the proof had been made by
an incompetent witness—and that even now no one
was mentioned as capable of really proving the act
of bankruptcy—was of opinion that the commission
ought to be immediately superseded, and it was or-
dered accordingly.
