INSOLVENT DESTORS.

John Ar.nes was opposed- under the .54th sees
tion, which e::cludes all persons acting as agents,
concealing or embezzling the property of their em-
ployers, from the benefit of the Act.
Mr. Letts, on the part of the opposing creditor,
Mr. Goldney, an eminent lace merchant, at Great
Marlow, stated that the prisoner had been employed
by him as. a traveller, from January, 1805, to No..
vember, ISO 6 ; at the enclof that time he discovered
that there was as deficiency in the prisoner's accounts
of near 15001. which principally arose from various
quantities of lace being returned to the prisoner by
different customers, which he afterwards disposed of
again, rendering no account of the sale to his em-
ployer. For this 150014. Mr Goldney commenced an
action against the prisoner ; the matter was referred
to Mr. Reynolds, a barrister, who after inspecting the
accounts, made an award is favour of Mr. Goldney
for 7671. for which sum the prisoner was detained,
and his discharge was now opposed on the ground of
his having embazzled and concealed the property of
his employer.

Mr. Goldney was examined to these facts. He
pr )duced a number of letters which he had received
from the prisoner whilst on his different journiel,
mentioning quantities of lace which had been returr.-
ed by various customers ; and also a letter in which
he mentions having made use of •.4 sum of money be-
longing to Mr. Goldney, during a fit of illness which
attacked him in one of his journies.
Mr. Reynolds proved that there was a deficiency
of 7671. ; he observed that there was a very great
degree of carelessness visible on both sides, be did not
impute embezzlement or fraud to the prisoner.
It appeared also that the prisoner had accounted
'for 3001. worth of the property deficient, part of
which had been disposed of by Mr. Goldney himself..
Mr. MARRIOTT, on the part of the prisoner, con-
tended, that his case did not come at all within the.
meaning of the clause—no fraudulent concealment
of the property having been made out; on.the con.
trary, the letters producedby Mr. Goldney proved.
that the prisoner had been constantly in the habit of
informing him of the different quantities of lace rep
tamed by the various customers.
The Court, after some deliberation, determined,
that the prisoner's case did not come within the mean.
ing of the clause. He was, therefore, ordered to be
discharged.

gerness to have Four Tickets of a Number, which
