INSOLVENT. DEBTORS' COURT, NOVEMBER:.
The Court :Isis morning was crowded to exce.4
particularly by a number of theatrical Gentlemen.
William Henry Parrymore Blewit was examine,'
by Mr. WA LIMED, •on behalf of Mr. Glossop, P.
prietor of the' Coburg Theatre,.the opposing creditor.
Mr. Blewit stated that he had held a situation in the
Post-Office for 'six years, for which he had at fart
£BO or £9O a, year, but it afterwards rose to ERA
He resigned it of his own accord in 1813, thinking
he could make more of his times In November:a::
he and Mr. Glossop, as a joint.concern, took Astley'i
Theatre for the Winter Season, which they occupiei
till the end of January. He advanced no money,
nor paid one shilling of expenses, whereas Mr. Glos-
sop had paid above £6OO. During the 'Winter Seas• n
he received twelve guineas per week,for himself a. d
Mrs. Blewit. He had all the books now in his pos.
session, which he refused to give up, though he c;-
feted copies. One book wis now in Edinburgh, ri
which Mr. Glossop had a copy. Mr. Farebroth.r
had applied to him also, but he had refdsed them.
He had not inserted the account books in the schedu!e,
because he thought the word " books" applied' to
brary books, but he was willing now to give them up.
Mr. POL LOCK, for the Insolvent, said, that Mr.
Glossop must know the consequences of having these
books to inspect; because, strictly speaking, Mr.
Glossop was not a creditor, but a partner, who, by
arrangements of accounts, became a creditor.
The judgment of the Court was, that the cat
stand over generally till the books be produced, an,'
notice served on the other side that such was the case,
for otherwise no discharge could be granted.
