INSOLVENT' DEBTORS' COURT.

WINCHESTER MAGISTRATES.
Yesterday Mr. Potaaaiex, in the case of Mr. Zahap-
fennen and the Magistrates at Winchester (see :hie
Paler of Thursday tut), put ii, an affidavit from Thri.
!SRas Woodham, Deputy Clerk • Li.' Peace for the
scanty of Sonthampton, setting forth that the Ins(.l
vont was examined by the Magistrates on the 3d
ilOSlent, before wliom it appeared that he was a fo-
reigner, holding a Lieutenant's Commission in D.•
Meuron's corps, now in British pay in Upper Canada;
and that a parr of his debts accrued for goods sup-
plied to that corps, for which the Lieutenant,• by
stoppages from die men, had, to a cc:cant extent, re-
ceived the amount. The affidavit also set forth, that
Mr. Zahapfennen had, before the Qaarter Sessions,
consented to make the assignment out of his pay,
which it was now sought to rescind.
Mr. Balm, in reply, admitted that the Insolvent
was an alien, born at Dusselbourg, on the Lower
Rhine. He had,• however, served his Majesty for a
period of 18 years, both in Europe and India ; it
was, therefore, hard to consider him as a foreigner
after such a length of service.
• Mr. Pou.ocK observed, that the Insolvent was con-
Tessedly a foreigiser, and the Court was consequently
competent to affix any term it thought proper to his
discharge. But in this case, the party himself had
actually consented to the terms, for the general be-
nefit of his creditors. Besides, in the debt for goods
*applied to his corps, the money had in great part
gone into his own pocket, though the creditors re-
mained unpaid.
Mr. BARRY animadverted on this statement, and
mid, that from a reference to the account of the
party, it would appear, that out of £9OO nearly
seven had been paid, and for this balance, the Offi-
cer's pay, little more than 6s. a day, pas to be put
in requisition.
The Court, in pronouncing judgment, observed,
that a regular certificate of the adjudication of the
Quarter Sessions at Winchester, on the pd January,
in this case, had been transmitted, and was then en
racord. From th;s it appeared, that the condition of
the Insolvent's discharge was, the appropriation of a
moiety of his pay for the benefit of his creditors. 'Hie
Insolvent now applied to have this condition rescin
ded, upon the ground that the Court had no legal
power to annex such a condition to his discharge.
Now, by a reference to the Act, it would be found,l
that the 27th section expressly authorised the Court '
to recommend to the Paymaster of the Forces a suit-
able distribution of the pay of any Officer in the ser-
vice, for the benefit of his creditors. It was the same
in the Naval Department, and also in the case cl
beneficed clergymen. But the Court was at the
same time free to confess, that this power did not ex-
tend beyond the act of recommendation, and that no
jurisdiction tinder the Act could, ,terse, make an as-
signment of this kind in the case of a British Otlict.r,
or Clergyman, according to the 27th clause. The
case was, however, quite different, when the Insolvent
was not a natural born subject of these realms, and
the 51st section of the Act invested the Court with
, very ample powers of making his discharge condi-
tional, by providing ulterior security for his existing
creditors—and from the ,affidavit of the Deputy
Clerk a the Peace at Winchester, it appeared that it
was under this clause only the Quarter Sessions hat!
imposed the condition—a condition fortified by the
material fact of the party himself having consented
to the terms imposed upon him. Under these cir-
cumstances, the Court was fully prepared to affum
the adjudication of the Quarter Sessions, and to Jis•
' miss the application for an alteration in ity conditions.
Mr. BARRY, for the Insolvent, then tendered. his
acquiescence to conditions which it was found impos-
sible to rescind. •

BURGLARY.—The following circumstance should
proven caution to servants in general --The family
