INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 1.

James Evans, late a miller and farmer, at Mayfield in Stafford-
shire, was opposed by Mr. Heath, on behalf of Mr. Daniel Miller.
The insolvent stated in his examination by Mr. Heath, that his
own cousin, Francis Shaw, jun. was his detaining creditor, who
had arrested bins for a debt of £23, which bad been owing three
years, and he swore that the arrest was a hostile one, and that he
had never seen his cousin since he was arrested. Mr. Shaw, sen.
(insolvent's uncle, and detaining creditot's father,) had sold some
property to to the insolvent's father for £l,BBO, of which the in-
solvent had to pay him £247: he paid him £ll2 by instalments.
On the Bth of October last, he signed a paper in favour of his
uncle. Mr. Shaw, sen. the purport of which he did not understand,
but by virtue of it Mr. Shaw took possession of all his farming
stock, &c,which be sold by auction for £193. Four days after he
signed this paper, Mr. Shaw, jun. arrested the insolvent for the old
debt of 423, and he gave bail, and directly afterwards came to
Londoo, sod rendered to the King's Bench prison.
Mr. MIAMI here offered to the insolvent to forego any opposition
to his discharge, if his uncle would give up the property.
The insolvent stated that he did not think his uncle would give
op the property; he, the uncle, had taken every thing he possessed,
and left his wife and family without even a bed to lie upun. His
wife and family had been obliged since then to apply to the parish
forirelief.
Mr. Hz.ses submitted, on behalf of the opposing creditor, either
that the insolvent's petition ought to be dismissed, or that he should
biremanded for a fraudulent making away with his property. It
appeared, that on the Bth of October, while he was greatly in-
volved in debt, he made over all his property to his uncle, by which
all the other creditors were deprived of every shilling which he
possessed, and then he rendered to prison in discharge of his bail,
for the small sum of £23 which he owed to his cousin (the son of
the of the person who had taken all his property) for above three
years. The learned counsel considered it nothing better than a
mere juggle to keep the insolvent's property lu the family to the
exclusion of the general body of creditors.
Mr. Coosa on behalf of the insolvent, submitted that no case
had been made out to justify the Court in remanding bins. It
was sworn by the insolvent that the a by his cousin was a
hostile one, and that his uccie bad behaved so harshly towards
him as to dispossess him of every article of furniture, even to his
bed. This statement of the insolvent had not been attempted to
be impugned by any evidence on the pan of the opposing credi-
tor, and.ttierefore the Court must take It as correct. Whether
the uncle had acted Illegally or not in taking possession of the in-
solvent's property, was a point which must be left for the insol-
vent's assignees to consider ; but it could be no ground on which
the Court should remand the insolvent.
The Comm said, the whole of the circumstances atteudiog the
distress by Mr. Shaw the elder appeared so extraordinary, that
they would require his attendance to explain it, and also the at-
tendance of Mr. Shaw the younger, to explain the , fur which
purposes they would titijourn the case.
The insolvent was then remanded.
