MSOLVENT DEBTuRs' COURT. SEPT. 29.

James 1. inn came before the Court, for his discharge.
Mr. Por.Loca, on behalf of Mr. Wells, a flour factor,
residing at Dork.ng, opposed the Insolvent. •
The Insolvent was then examined. It appeared from
the evidence, that he had formerly made an application
to, and was discharged by this Court. Since that period
he had contracted a debt of 284. for flour, supplied to
him, the original amount of the debt being 851. The
Insolvent, in payment, gave a bill of exchange, accepted
by a person named Andrews, who committed suicide
about the time it came due. He purchased the flour
from a person 'named Kent, who acted as the accre-
dited agent of Mr. Wells, but Kent was well aware that
he (the Insolvent) had taken formerly the benefit of the
Act, and that at the time of the purchase he was a
prisoner within the Rules of the King's Bench.
Edward Kent being called, stated that he was the
authorised agent to the opposing creditor, and had sold
ten sacks of fl rur to the Insolvent for 351. of which he
paid 71. on account of the bill he received. The wit-
ness stated in the most positive and unequivocal terms,
that he was ignorant at the time of the purchase that
the Insolvent had either taken the benefit of the Act, or
that he was charged in execution on a debt subse-
quently formed, and that had he been aware of these
circumstances he would not have given the Insolvent
credit. The Insolvent stated to him, that he owed
nothing to any other mealman, and that he had the
lease of his house, and mentioned other arrangements,
which induced witness to believe the Insolvent to be
in solvent circumstances.
Cross-examined by Mr. HEATH.—The witness in re-
ply to his several questions, said he had been Wells's
agent for twelve or fourteen months. That he had seen
the Insolvent frequently in the public-houses about the
Bench prison—but he persisted in the denial of his
having any knowledge of his being then a prisoner.
Witness has been a prisoner himself, both ih the Rules
of the Bench and within its walls, and he took the bene-
fit of the Act two years ago. Whilst he was a pri-
sonerhe kept " a Ruler's room," which, after some hesi-
tation, he admitted the Insolvent frequented. Witness
had been frequently in prison—but it all arose from
his good nature—(A laugh).
Mr. HZAru—Were you not in the Rules when you were charged
with something more serious ?
Witness—That has nothing to do with what I am now stating.
Mr. POLLOCK objected to the line of examination
pursued by Mr. Heath, and submitted that the witness
was competent to give his evidence, notwithstanding the
circumstances alluded to.
The Court overruled the objection.
Witness—He had been taken up on a charge, but was honour-
ably exonerated from i:. He still persevered in saying he was
perfectly ignorant of the insolvency of the petitioner.
The Insolvent was again examined by Mr. MATH.
—He swore that Kent was well aware all through of
his having been a prisoner, for he had advised him to
supersede the action upon which he was detained. This
advice he gave him repeatedly, in the presence of a
person named Woodroffe. The Insolvent denied that
be had ever made any such representatilns of property
as those mentioned by Kent. After the bill became
due, Kent applied to him, and used vulgar language,
saying, " D—n you, you are not half a mace cove (a
swindler); why did you not buy flour of other people,
for I should not have cared who the devil they were,
Iso you had paid me ?"--(a laugh).
Kent being recalled, he admitted that he had let slip
some conversation about making purchases from other
people ; but denied he ever made use of the expression
"matt cove," he could not have said it, and it was ex-
tremely cruel to attribute such language to him—
(Much laughter)
Mr. HgATII, for the Insolveat, addressed the Court
at considerable length, and took occasion to comment
on the equivocal and loose testimony of Kent, and which
bad evidently for its object to impress the Court unfa-
vourably towards the Insolvent. He confidently con-
tended that the Court, taking every circumstance into I
its grave consideration, would come to the decision that
there was not the slightest shadow of a case against his
client, but that from the evidence there was string pre-
sumption that Kent knew everything at the time of
the purchase, and therefore the Court would not deprive
his client of the benefit of his discharge.
