COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 17.

This was a Petition of J. King, to obtain his re-
leak.

Mr. AL: AR raid, the Ailignees objeaed to it, be-
c.varc the Bantt apt put them to every difficulty in
his powzr. It was (Idled, the Bankrupt had fuffered
:ruder a ICVCIe illnefs, and was incapable of attend•
ing upon them ; yet this application to the Court for
the certiF.tate was made twelve months after his re-
c-artry, and' no fatisfaftion hal been obtained. A
letter, produced in Court, was dated from Cookham ,
in Hants; this was figned by the Bankrupt, and on
the very day of the date,. in an affidavit br Cr of the
Bankrupt and his Surgeon, lie was 'hated to he its a
dreadful condition of infirmity at the King's Arms,
In' L. Mon. It was poflible that she Bankrupt might
have concealed the whole of his property, and, after
he had obtained his deliverance, all their endeavours
might be ineffedual to difeover it. Under thefe cir-
cumfiances, the Affignees trotted that his Lnrdlhip
would think the relittance they gave on this occa-
fun fitly juilified, and the rather fo, becaufe, from
the month of Augull to the prefent time, the Bank-
rupt had not applied to finilh his examination.
' Mr. BELL, for the Bankrupt, faid, that for a long
period he is as in a Rate of delirium, and this ac-
count was confimed by the affidavit of the medical
gentleman by whofe allidance he was reflored. If
it were true, that the Bankrupt had dated a letter
from liants, when in fa& he was in Landon, it
[night be done either from 'rniflake, or jn the cootie
of butinefs, without any criminal intention ; it was
not uncommon to affix a date of this kind in nume-
rims cafes with puled innocence;if it were '4 fiction,
it was not a fraud ; and the experience of every man
fupply examples of the praCtice.

EXparie SNEE AND OTHERS.
• This was a Petition in the Bankruptcy of Samuel
Malcolm, in which the petitioners were appointed
Affignees.
Mr. BOMILLY faid,,George Clay was indebted to
the ellate in the fum of 721. for which, -for nearly
three, years, he had ne7ledted to account with the
affignies. A final dividend was declared on the
t 7th of May laft, and the meeting, on this occafinn,
he thought proper to attend. While the Bankrupt
and the Allignees were engaged in adjutting the ads
of feveral creditors, 'George Clay took the oppor-
tunity of fwearing to a debt of 1281. before the Corn-
miftioncrs. This proof was not admitted however,
.withour reference to the book, and by thefe, it did

.?pear to the Commit Hatters, that he was in fait a
cieditor to the amountflatedi for .Clayliad himfelf
enteied in the books, a claim of idol. on the blip
*catied•the'Adamant, to which!lie was hy.no means
„entitled. The proof of the-debt was thus.admitted
by furplize, and the
.appliCatiilo:to the Court now
was, to fend the enquiry back to the CommiMoners.
Clay had been called upon to produce the policy or
any• other document competent to fubilantiate- his
cla;in, but notwithflanding the promptitude with
which he fwore to the debt, he has negletaed to give
any,kina of fads ailisou.to parties interact& with
t-efped to its exidence.
