DAUNCET, in his opening of the -case, were fully
proved in evidence in the.course of the trial.
The defendant called no witnesses, but Mr. JIRVIS,
on his behalf, addressed the Jury in mitigation, al-
leging that the defendant had been imposed on by
Cumungharn.
Mr. Baron GARROW summed up the evidence.—
He could not admit Oils the conduct of the defen-
dant ought to be ascribed to ignorance or mistake,
but that it must be the effect of a conspiracy with
Cunningham, to change the possession of the estate.
The penalty isdposed by the statute is, three years'
improved yearly rack-rent.
The Jury, after some hours consultation, found a
verdict for the plaintiffs for 11;4,500.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Avgnst 25.
Mr.ll-lEArx appeared in support of a rule obtained
on a former day for allowing Mr. Thomas Hall to be
reheard as to certain creditors, at whose suit he was
detained.

Captain Hall, applied for his discharge on the 21stl
of last January, and was opposed by Colonel Corry
(the brother of the late Right Hon. Isaac Corry),
Thomas Foster, Esq. of Berkshire, and a number of
other creditors, whose debts he agreed on that occa-
sion to except from his discharge. But the Court,
after hearing Mr. Foster's statement, that the Insol-
vent obtained from him.valuable pictures, at.a price
payable by.bond of i:3,500, which he immediately
afterwards sold. at a picture gallery for less than a'
fourth of that sum, ordered that the Insolvent should
be remanded for gross injustice to his creditors.—
The Insolvent's debts amount to £48,900, his effects,
nothing.
Mr. HEATH, this day, explained to the Court, that
the Insolvent did not want to get rid of the excepted
debts, which nearly amounted to the whole of his
encumbrances, but merely to get his discharge from
others where no opposition was intended.
Colonel Corry addressed the Court, and stated,
that he came from the country to see what the In-
solvent intended by his presant application ; and he
desired to know whellits the Gentlemen who had
with him opposed the Insolvent were not entitled to
the expenses they had been obliged to incur, in fceing
Counsel, and appearing in Court upon this occasion?
The Cotter—" How does the Insolvent come up
here this day ?"
Mr. Ile.vrit—" By a Rule Ni;i, to be heard so far
as appertains to debts not excepted."
Mr. Foster—" My debt is £5OO more than the In-
solvent stated it to be in his former schedule. Here
is his own bill of £.500 to establish this fact?"'
.

It was then agreed by the Insolvent's Counsel, that
Mr. Poster's claim should be recorded as excepted to
the amount he now desired.

The Counr said, that the Insolvents remand must
still stand, for gross injustice to his creditors, not-
withstanding these arrangements.
It was, however, finally agreed ttper. that he should
be discharged from certain debts in his schechle, on
winch no opposition was inteaded, hnt that he should
still remain detained for the excepted debts.
By the application of this day, the Insolvent got
rid of several smaller debts—but the 'larger ones, of
which by far the greater part of the amount of 1.48,000
consists, remain still in full force against him.

Mr. &slaty, Mr. POLLOCK, and lti_Sr.•Baisserr were
in Court for the principal opposing creditors, in the
event of the Insolvent's application ernbracitzg a re-
vision of any p:u of the former arrangement rela-
tive to the excepted debts.
