INI:01.T1:441 TIE.CIOIO AGAINST JA3ICS HALE.

This was an opposition directed on behalf of Messrs.l
Husby and Son, members of the Society, who, it ap-1
peared, were considerable corn-merchants, and had
supplied the insolvent, a Paddington cuach-master,with
different quantities of oat.; for his horses. About No-
vember last there was some dispute about the delivery
of a quantity of oats, and Messrs. Itusby's agent having
applied for 'the debt due from the insolvent, his wile
said, in his presence, "that her husband should never
pay a shilling, but should go to gaol, and get white-
washed first." In December the insolvent transferred
his eight coach horses, harness, and furniture, to his
brother, for 731. 33/. of which he said he received on the
20th January, and the remaining 401. was to discharge
richt of 401. due to the brother. The transfer, how-
ever, was not made at the Stamp Office until February,
r,c.ntlt the insolvent was arrested for 151. said
to have been borrowed of a Sheriff's-officer, and peti-
tinned I,:r s chef un.'er the Act. It also appeared that
the I,r‘t.es we:2 now in the same stables as usual, the
furniture in dle same place as ti,ual, and the insolvent's
family occupied the same premises.
Mr. 11E.trn, for the opposing creditors, contended
that the transfer to the [pother was a fraud on all the
credit.. rs on tLe very eve of the insolvent's going to gaol.
Mr. PoLLncit, for the insolvent, argued that, under
the circumstances, it was no fraud.

The CHIEF COMMISSIONER in delivering the judg-
Merit nt !!le Court, womicred that the many sentence,
-which have been passc.l in that Omit on insolvents lot
fraudulently making away with their property, had not
deterred others from acting in the same manner; they
ought to know that they could not so easily come there,
anti to use their own term, get " whitewashed," espe-
cially if creditors brought the cases properly before
them ; the present, he said, was as clear a case of frau!
as had ever been brought before the Court, and the
judgment therelbre was, that the insolvent should not
be discharged until he had been in custody for a period
not exceeding Fifteen Months liens the filing of his peti-
tion, and that his imprisonment btr within the walls.

A NECDOTE OF Sin E. PELLEW, Now LORD EXMODTIL-...
At Portsmouth, several years ago, this gallant Officer was sitting
alone at dinner, when his servant announced to him that an India-
nian had struck upon the brach, and was in imminent. danger of
going to pieces. Sir EDWARD hastened to the dne, and foinid the
intelligence correct ; and the surf running so high that no boat dared
venture to board the vessel. Sir EDNAKu, addressing himself to the
crowd upon the beach,asked if any of them had heart enough to swim
off with bins to the ship. A young man stepped forward to answer
the challenge; and two lines having been procured, Sir F.owmtia
and the stranger each took one, gained the vessel, and after safely
landing all on board, were the last to return on shore. On stepping
upon land, the gallant Admiral, addressing his comrade in danger,
exclaimed, " Give me your hand ; you're a fine fellow—who are
you ?—you must sail with me in future." The young man replied,
that he was the mate of a collier, and that he should hesitate to quit
a situation so comfortable for the chance of doubtful promotion. Sir
EDWA au overcame his scruples; and this singular introduction added
to the heroes of the British Navy an Officer unrivalled in heroic et-
ploitrano less a sjsaracter than Captain Jazzman Cooniax.
