be remanded, at the suit of Ms opposing creditors, fo'
a very considerable period of time. Judgment deferred'
till the 2d of February.
- Mr. Por.Loca applied to the Court to call on the case
of Mr. William Pope out of its turn, in consequence of
his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Sir Herbert Tay-
lor, and Sir J. Cockburn, having been subpoenaed as
witnesses, and they would shortly be obliged to-go away
on other business. • The Court granted the application,
and Mr. William Pope was brought up. He was op-
posed by isir. Jullion, an agent and accountant, for a
debt of 541. This Gentlemais attended in person, and
interrogated the insolvent. • The insolvent admitted
having had certain papers in his possession, one Of which
an undertaking on the part of Sir James Cockburn that
Mr. Jullion's debts should be paid, provided he gave tip
certain other papers, had been shewn to Mr.Jullion.
JULLION : You gob possession of these papers ;
where are they now? they have not been filed in Court?
Insolvent (after some hesitation): I have deposited them
with a friend, of whom I borrowed money; they are to
be given up ; I deposited them as security for a debt
with a friend, after he had been arrested.
Mr. PLATT (Counsel to the insolvent) suggested to the
Court, that it would be sufficient if one of its officers saw
these papers; they were of a private nature.
Mr. JULLION contended that the papers ought to be
lodged in Court, and the Chief Commissioner thought so
too, if they had any reference to his estate.
To a question from his Counsel, insolvent stated that
these papers were private letters, and not bonds or se-
curities, and did not relate to his money affairs; he was
acquainted with the parties who wrote the letters, and
Mt s. Mary-Ann Clarke had some connection with them;
they did not relate to his estate; he had an nottethrking
in his possession, signed by Sir James Cockburn, a copy
of which was put in and acknowledged by him to be
correct; he admitted that he had stated to Mr. Jullion,
that a son of his friend Mr. Palin was to have a situa-
tion under Government, worth eight hundred pounds a
year; and that he had said he should be able to pay his
debts, if he gave up the papers in question ; he possessed
also a copy of a letter from Sir Herbert Taylor, on the
same subject, which was put into Court. The copy
was given him by Mr. Palin, and the contents sanc-
tioned by the Duke of York. The insolvent denied
that he secreted these papers to make money by them
after he was discharged.
The COURT was of opinion, that these papers, whe-
ther they related to the estate or not, should be deposited
with the provisional assignee.
Mr. HARRISON, the King's Counsel, who sat on the
Bench, observed, that there was not one word of ti uth
in what had been said as to the genuineness of these pa-
pers, and the promises ; they did not emanate from any
person connected with the Government, and the insol-
vent must have been egregiously imposed on.
The COURT ordered the final bearing to be adjourned
sine die, and directed the papers to be lodged with the
assignee for inspection.--The distinguished persons who
had been subpoenaed as witnesses, remained in the anti-
, room during the investigation.
