INSOLVENT. DEBTORS' COURT.

.
Yesterday WilMum Rickards was opposed by Mr.
HaAnt, onliebilf of Mr. Tobias And other creditors.
The insolvent statedliehis etamiaation, that he was
the Captain of a West Indiaman, belonging to a Mr.
Miller. In February, 1822, when about to sail to the
West Indies, he took a do onometer and three gold
watches, chains, &c. from Mr. Tobias, cf
disposing of them abroad. They amounted to
He also took a quantity of boots from another credi-
tor, named Jessop, to the amount of 170/. for a simi-
lar purpose, for which he gave Mr. Jessoo a bill upca
his employer for 801. which was accepted, but is nit
yet due. In November, 1821, he called a rnee:ing;
of his creditors: he then owed about 700/. to whErls
amount he had property in the West Indies, consist-
ing of cash 1101. upwards of 2001. in Madeira wine;
101. worth of tin ware; 30/. 0r.40/. worth- of slop:;
12 dozen port wine; 100 gallons Geneva; and 34/.
worth corks. He bad left these things in the pov.es-
sion of a Mr. Edwards, in the isle of St. Vincent, but
upon his going out this year, he was informed that
vermin had eaten the corks, the port wine was broken,
the Geneva gone, the slops destroyed, the tin ware
lost, and part of the Madeira leaked. Notwithstand-
ing this unsatisfactory account of his propel ty, he
gave Mr. Edwards a fresh investment of property to
the amount of 100/. He left him about two•thirds
of the boots, and one of the gold watches. The other
two watches (worth 301. each), and the remainder of
the boots, he gave to a girl of colour to take into the
Interior of the island to dispose of for him ; and as he
could not End this-hawker on his coming away, he
did not enter her in his schedule as his debtor, think-
ing the property she had lost. He did not know her
name. She was sometimes called Mary, sometime:
Nancy, and sometimes other names. She lived
where she could." No witness was present when
he gave Ler the articles ; he took no receipt from her
for them, nor did he tell her how much she was to
sell them for.
After the insolvent had underwent a long exami-
nation upon this subject; and as to what furniture,
&c. he had, and after Mr. Tobias and other of the
opposing creditors deposed to the circumstances under
.which he obtained credit, as well as to the apparent
nature of his furniture, the case was ordered to stand
over to the 18th instant, for theinsolvent to amend
his schedule with respect to the mulatto hawker, and
to bring forward persons to prove whether or not the
identical articles of furniture seen by his creditors et
his house are now forthcoming.
