COURT OF KING'S BENCH, _•/111AIIIT 15.
WHAMS V. DISOWNING.
This was an action to try the *allay of a commission
of bankruptcy sued out against the plaintiff in the year
1829; and undet which the defendant had beenaubse:
quently appointed one of the assignees. The plaintiff,
it appeared, was a serge manufacturer, carrying on be..
susess at Buckfastleigh, near Ashburton, in the county
of Devon; and during his absence from homefor the
purposes of his trade, and in consequence of an illness
occasioned by an injury received from the overturning
of a coach, the commission in question, it was alleged,
had been maliciously issued against him.
For the defence, evidence was produced, proving that
he was greatly indebted to the house of Sir Jahn Price
ended. that they had repeatedly applied to him in vain
for payment, and that an application being made at his
residence, the only answer that could be obtained from
his sister or his clerk was, that he was Item home, that
they did not know where he was, but that he would
back in a week or ten days. Several letters found in
his counting house after the issuing of the comm.sion
were then read, shewing the numerous demands he bid
upon him for money, and that his bills and , draughts
had been dishonoured. It was also roved that on pay-
ment of a particular debt being demanded, he promised
at a time and place then appointed to meet the witness
in order to discharge it, but that tie never attended for
that purpose.
The Lose CUM' JUSTICE expressed his opinion that that hs Itself
was an act of bankruptcy, and the case was there at an end.—The
plaintiff was accordingly minsinteiL

This was an action biought by the assignees of Heary
Trollop, to recover a ieniuneratiiin for the introduc
by the bankrupt, of an Improved process for ref
sugar in the defendints' manufactory.
' Mr. &arum (with whom were Mr. Bqounnulias
' and Mr. PATTESON) stated the plaintiff's case, and
called Mr. Trollop, who proved his introduction of the
new principle, and that improvements were effected by
it to the amount of between
.3,0001.• and 410001. per
year, in addition to the defendants' profits in their
business as sugar refiners, previous to the bankrupt's
connexion with them.
I The Loan Cum JUSTICZ suggested that the amount
of the damages could be better aseeitainei by a tele-
rence to a Gentleman at the Bar, in which the Counsel
en both sides concissred, end a veidict was then given
for the plaintiffs for 10,0001. subject to the award of
Mr. Reader.
