The York Concerts doled on Friday the la of
April,and have been falhionably attended through-
out the feafon.

Saturday lall, Mr. KING, fcnior, of Dover, was
thrown out of his chaife, in defcending a hill nrar
Harbledown, and received conliderable injury.
On Saturday as Mr. TOULMAIN, of Knightf-
bridge, was riding in Hyde Pal k, he was thrown
from his horfe and killed on the (pot.

Lady blot arAtecos-rs had nearly experienced
a dreadful accident a fey' days fince, at her feat
at Harrington, near Spilfby, in Lincolnfhire.—.
Whila her Ladylbip was Rirring the fire, a coal
fell on her gown, and the flames had already
reached her handkerchief, which would moil pro-
bably have proved fatal before the family mild
have rendered a ffi Rance, when her Lady fb ip's great
pretence of mind induced her to roll herklf in the
carpet, by which (he was providentially extricated
from her dangerous fituation.
lecurasr,—The Coroner's Inqueß was held
yeflerday at the Bricklayer's Arms in Mount-
lireet, at half pail two o'clock, on the body of
Mrs. Catharine Adderley, who died in confequence
of her cloaths having caught fire on Friday night
Lf. In evidence it appeared, that Mr. Padding-
, ton, Carpenter, in the faid ftreet, on coming into
the houfe when the alarm of fire was given, found
the deceafed lying on the floor cloth, at the par-
lour door, encompaffed with flames. On behold-
ing this melancholy fight, he dragged the carpet
off the parlour floor, and rolled Mrs. Adderley in
it, which fucceeded in extingui(hing the fire, but
not in raving the Lady, who languithed until fix
o'clock on Saturday morning. She was attended
by Mr. Chevalier, of South Audley.ftreet, Several
other perfons were examined, whofe evidence
agreed with the above. The verdidt returned was
—Accidental Death.

Saturday fe'nuight the trial of Peter Daly came
on at the affixes df Philipßown, for unlawfully

After a trial which occupied the greater part of the

three different times, at different periods, with
labels affixed to his body, expreffive of the crime
of which he was convicted.

freed the Bankrupt to have gone forth again into the world
with his certificate, bad the allowance of it been controverted.
Dyer had flute become a Bankrupt; and, in the month of Sep-
tember laft, a nesting was held by the Creditors for the pur-
pole of at pointing an Affignee in his room. At that meeting
a majority in value of the Creditors appointed Brackley Ken-
twit Ink Affiance. His I .ordfhip laid; that uporrthe Rate of the
cafe thus far, it was evident this was a friendly Commillion,
for, from the affidavits which had been laid before liim, it ap-
peared that the former Commifflon having been taken out
nycinft Robert Kennett, it was thought advifahle by his family
that another CimmilTion Ilrmlel Blue under the etiung, as it
wa. termed, f Friendly Affignees. It had been (worn, by a
perfon of the name of James, that Robert Kennett had told him
an aft of Bankruptcy would be taken out agaiiiß him as loon
Ilse Friendly Afsgnee could be procured. Ills I.ordfitip here
oaf reed, that when Dyer became a Bankrupt, and it was ne-
(airy to proceed to another choke of Affigneee, it might have
been expelled that fame other Affignee would have been ap-
pointed in the room of Brackky Kennett, who from the time
of his being chnfen, up to that moment, had never taken one
!Ingle Rep which had for its (fleet the general intereft of the
creditors. The Petition further Rased, that after the appoint-
ment of Dyer a' A ffignee, he had never ailed nor interfered at
all, and that no dividend had been made of the Bankrupt's
eftate and etleas. Kin Lorellhip Paid, that to thn(e who were not
in the habit of attending this Court, it alight feem rather ex-
traordinary, that a Commiffion &mild iffue in January, iflot,
and no dividend Mould be declared fn late as December, aka.
Certainly it might happen, that in the fair adminiftration of
Bachrrepteks, the fart could not be otherwife ; but he verily
believed, that in nine out of ten of the Conimilfloos of Bank-
ruptcy in this country the Solicitot's charges were the principal
°Meet In being them out. That the intent of the peddle Cum-
million was to get this Bankrupt unfairly difcbarged of his
debts, to the prejudice of his creditors, was beyond an doubt.
—lt even appeared, that for the purpo(e of getting a pe-
titioning creditor, who was friendly to the Bankrupt,
they had made ale of the name of a perfect to whom he ac-
tually did not owe tool at the time of his Bankruptcy. Dyer,
In order to lovelt Abukir with the charadter of a petitioning
creditor, had (worn, or rather affirmed, for he was a Quaker,
that loot was affi•.ally due to him; though now he affirmed,
that he only believed the Bankrupt was indebted to him in that
km by reference to certain accounts, which in loft proved,
that he was not a creditor of Robert Kennett for more than 6d.
It was hapodibla a Coantaidion of Bankruptcy, founded upon
Seek a Petitioning Creditor's debt, could be fupported. It was a
swift fcandalaus proceeding; here was this Quaker Sift affirm-
ing he was a creditor to the anscaut of took and then affirming
that het was not. It wan to be abbr, cd, that Rabat Kennett
as well as his brother, piffitively denied what had been (worn
by James, as to the intentional having a friendly Com/1112am
Bat be tilwerght mere credit was due tothe affidavit of James, be-
cade, in *lobe place, he had ao liftman in [wearing what was
untrue; and in the next, what Itched (wan was rendered ex-
tremely probable by the cireumfances of the cafe. It was a nth-
fortune tothe adminaration ofjaftice,that Judges could not look
intatte hearts amen; in order to dtkover on which Ode the truth
by. There was a trinfadtion relating to this Bankruptcy, which
it gave him concern to be obliged to allude to. Previous to this
Commiffica there was a prior one, on the petition of Jones and
Wakenian. This Coninaton had been taken out by a Solicitor
of the name of Decimus Cook, who, upon'the iffuing of the
fecund, by Mars. Scott and. Lander, Solicitors, spilied to
them, and informed them he could move a prier Ad of Bank-
ruptcy, and that if the Curnaiffion went on, be mutt jointly
!hare the profits with them. No doubt could spilt, raid his
Lordthip, with regard to the extreme impropriety of loch con-
daft in Solicitors; if fuch a circurnitince ever cane regularly
before him, be mould exprefs histifelf not in Strong terms, but
by areas ads. That Solicitors under a Cornmiffion of Bank-
ruptcy, which was likely to fail. Mould Stipulate with another
Solicitor to (bare the profits with him, in order to induce hint
not to bring forward a preceding Mt of Bankruptcy, was a
e which he hoped he never more Mould hear of. His
"p noticed, and commented upon a variety of other trail&
withal, which had taken place In the (aide of the proceedings.
It wx. a fad Alerted, and not denied, that Brackky Kennett
the Affignee, had done a thing he had no rliti:t to do. He had
paid out of the Bat krupt's envie the eras of the fire Cortina-
lion,a plain proof that the feeond was iffued with no othtr Tin,*
than to relieve the Ku:kraut at the expence of hi. creditors.—
Among the documents exhibited was a letter from the Bank-
rupt to the petitioning creditor,'Dycr, which itretigthened the
other clrcumftances of the cafe, and Shun& inferred this was
a mere friendly CommiiSon. It was a letter written psiur to
the Bankruptcy, and entreated Mr. flyer, in the mat remelt
nianner,to come up to town from Witney,in order to comma-
nieate with him ,lion a fubjedt which interefted him much...-.
This retiw.lt it appeared was not attended to, and a fubfequent
applicutloo was trade to Mr. Dyer, accompanied by many of
fees and promifee if he would come to town. It might happen,

There, and loch like charges afforded his Lordihip a wide
(cope for niirtliful °biers:arum S eh, laid his LordOlip, were
the traufaelimis of this bankruptcy. He added, that it had be-
come a pradttce too prevalent for Aktices, intlead of going
the than way to work, by collet ing in the bankrupt's property,
and difpofina' ut it for the benefit o• the creditor,, to fit them-
(elves down after they were appointed, and give themfelves no
further trouble. inftead of pertons being nominated, who
lived contiguous to each other, he frequently found that ling-
nees refitted in diliant parts of the country, by which means
they were prevented front any communication with each other ;
and the whale affairs of the Bankrupt were thrown into the
hand, of the solicitor, to do with them juR what they pleated ;
and nine times out of ten inch conduit was produdlive of the
molt ruinous confequnces, but the prefent inftance went far
beyond thole care.; to, this comnalfion had been taken out with-
out any reference whatever to the rights of the creditors.—
Under fuch circundances, he repeated, that if a petition had
been prefented before the certiseate of the bankrupt had been
allowed, it never Mould have gone out of the hands of the
Court; but the certificate had unfortunately beets obtained;
however, if the bankrupt flattered himillf, it would be attend-
ed with the died he had attributed to it, he would find him-
fell moil egregioutly mittakei. ; for, if any creditor mould here-
after conic forward, and prove a prior ad of bankruptcy, he
mould take care to expunge the names of the creditors
who had figued it, ;:n I prevent their voting in :he ch. ice of
Afhgnees, or tigning any future retail:ate; and, therefore, he
deceived him(ti it he conlidered his prefent certificate any thing
more than waite paper. His Lordship ohferved, that it was
with extreme delicacy be did any thing to defeat a bankrupt's
certificate, who, JAW; conceiving hi:tiled' by its operation a
free man, bad gone fortis into the world, upon the faith of fuch
a document, and had gained new credit. When a man had
obtained a certificate under el:carnet:lnca which rendered it
invalid, it was undoulitedly an initrunwot of fwindling, which
the public could not guard againft To overtime such a certi-
ficate might undoubtedly profs hard upon third perfons who
had trotted a bankrupt In °braid's"; it Burt in this cafe he did
not think that confide:radon ought to ftand in his way, fur the
Corninifiion appeared to be one which ought never to have been
Med. Such a view of Meade cleared the ground, and brought
the qudtion to the fingle point, Whether under all the cireum-
R antes this was the Commilfion o( the creditor or of the Bankrupt
and his friends? If it was fo, k waishis distY, prefiding as be did,
under the authority of the Great Seal, not to permit Albgnees,
after having been chorea, to lit 11111 and take no further cue
about the bankrupt's elate. Übe could putfibly allow this Cons-
miffion to fland, he iholdd think bimfelf bound to order that
Brackley Kennett Arnold be difebargod from being Alligsce, and
that the creditors who bad Rimed the certificate mould be re-
(trained in the choice of nature Aflignees. He mould alio think
it ncceffary to enquire whether the Creditors bad been preju-
diced, or any 101 l bad been fuftained to the bankrupt's eltate
by the delay in the dirpotal of It But this, under the prefent
einnunttances, be could not do, for it was his duty to examine
this Conimiffson to the h.( in order to afeertain whether it was
a Iwo/fah Coalmines'. He had done fo, and he we, convinced it
was not, when he attended to the eircumftances that belonged
to the tirft Calann.Son. The nature of the proceedings under
the kcond one—the ad of Bankruptcy, the pedlieoing Credi-
tors deht,tbe manner in which der:bake atiffigseca had bent
made, the condua of the Solicitors, and the cirenmilances un-
der which the certificate had been granted. be was compelled
to fay, even though he mould be wrong, that it was for the in-
tercit of the Creditor s,but above all foe the intend of the rib-
lie, that this Commiffion mould be fuperfeded, and thanfore,
(aid his Lortifhip, let it be fuperfeded al the kink mow of
Mr. Dyec, (though he has been a Bankrupt) of Mr. Brackky
Kennett the AfEgace, and of Robert Kennett.
His Lordship, in pronouncing this judgment, occupied a
(pace of upwards of two hours. The Hall was attended on this
oceabon by infinitely more than the ulna number of It:angers.
And wet net that the whotrome lecture be delivered will have
its due died upon tbote merchants and traders who may here-
after coatimplat the advantages of a friendly Bankrugey.
