INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, NOVEMBER 12.

Yesterday the Petition of Thomas 'Joseph Murray
was opposed by Mr. P. SMITH, on the part of Mr.
Smith, haat maker, of King.street, Covent-garden.
Mr. Smith stated, that the prisoner had given him
an order at his shop in May last for some boots and
shoes, describing himself as a Lieutenant-Colonel
Murray. and stating that he had been on the Staff in
the course of the war in the Peninsula. The order
wasezecuted and the goods sent home. Viortly af.
terwards prisoner called upon Mr. Smith, and saying
that he had invited a Captain Boyd' and other brother
officers to dine with him at Oflley's Tavern, in
rietta-street, Covent.garden. but had. through for-
getfulness, left his purse at home, obtained from Mr.
Smith the loan of res, which he promised to pay on
the following morning. But on that morning Mr.
Smith received a note from the prisoner, stating that
he was prevented from calling at, King-street. asihe
was obliged to set off for Chatham, in order to Ore.
side at a Court Martial. After a lapse of some days.
Mr. Smith accidentally met the prisoner, 'OM told
him that he had lust returned from Chatl4m, and
that he would.call shortly to settle his account; but
instead of this calla note watrece4ied from the psi-
sorter, apologizing far his inability to fulfil hie
gagement. in consequence of the nnexpected defy of
remittances from his watt, Messrs. Keene. of Ws-
, lin, and promising soon to
,payithe debt. In' the.
signature to this note, as well as to the former, the
*prisoner described bin:0114..4 ttetit."4ol.. on, the

self. had fraudqlently obtained credit from his
and was not therefore entitled to hi's-discharge..
On the part of the'prisoner, for whim Mr. Powicat.
appeared, it was stated that he had not given any-
false representation of himself, as be was a .Liente:i
nant-Colonel in the Spanishoeivice, and had seried on
the staff in the course of the late war. It was added,
that at the time he gave the order for the hoots to
Mr. Smith. be was accompanied by a Mr. Commis.;
sary Clarke, who could depose to the rank he held in
Spain.
Mr. P. Sin= however maintained that the Aim
of the prisoner was to pass with hii•elient as a Lieu,
tenant Colonel in' the English woke, and that his
statement of a journey,- to Chatham, in order to pre-
side at a Court Martial, was obviously designed to
render the delusion effective. -
Mr. Serjeant RUNNINGTOI decided. that as ilia:
loan of ef,l spewed to hitie been obtained through
nsisreprermatinn, the prisoner, was not rnkled, ac
cording to law, to his release from that debt.-,-nit
plisontr was therefore Temancied.
