right to preside .its,Bailiffs. The application was sup-
I ported by the affidavit of a person named Monet., who

I,I6OLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

Yesterday IVm. Craddock, a young man of fashion-
able appearance, and highly tespectabte coiutex;ons, was
opposed by Mr. Woodiouffe on behalf et Mr. Green, a
hotel keeper in Lincoln's-inn Fields; ind Mr. *Gregor
appeared is person.
It appeared by the insolvent's evidence, that he had
formerly been an Ensign in the 43d Regiment of Foot,•
but he sold his commission in;1820 for 4001. and that the
proceeds were receivet by Mr. Morton, of Gray's-inn-
lane (his agent), who afterwards absconded with all the
money, of which he never received a farthing. In come-
, crence of his leaving the army, his father's displeasure
was incurred, and he reduced his annual allowance from
4001. to 1401. a year, which he is now in the receipt of.'
The debt claimed by Mr. Green was contracted in the
summer of 180, at which time he was net aware of
any diminution in his allowance, and he considered the
proceeds safely lodged in his agent's hands.
The tavern bill amounted to nearly ?Of. and he gave a
draught Is. the money, of which the following is a copy ;
"A“ "Lawlor'. August al, lam.
" Seven days after sight pay to Mr. James Green or order the
puce 41 4'45 for value received. " WM. CR4DDOCIL
" To J. Craddock, Esq. Loujhborough, Leicestershire. Payable at
Messrs. Hoare and Co. bankers, Loatbard.street."
The insolvent admitted that he had no authority from
his father to draw the bill produced; but he had on se-
veral occasions drawn upon his bankertn a similar way,
and the bills were paid, but no orders were given re-
specting this, which was returned dishonoured.
Mr. James Green, jun. son of the opposing creditor,'
stated that the insolvent entered his name on their book
on the 21st of May, 1821, and sojourned at their hotel
occasionally until the 4th of ,September following, when
the demand was 68k 17s. It was the most extravagant
bill witness bad ever made out. On some days he ordered
three or four dinner's, and on one occasion the wine bill
was SI. as the insolvent and his friends drank the most
expensive wines. When the bill amounted to nearly la.
application was made for payment, but apologies were
made, and letters sent, and the pretext was, that bis
father had not come to town so early as expected.—
Had the bill beerwpaid, he would have ben an excellent

customer.
Mr. Green the elder admitted, that he was aware that
on one occasion the insolvent bad been in prison, but he,

sow wielded him, As be promises! .th,:t .his accoun
should it• paid.
The iosolvallt •erai then examined by the opposing
Counsel soletise to the debt contracted with Zuni, the
at whole suit he isaow detained. He swit!! that
borrowed SW- allies about 12 months ago, and gave
him a bill for 20. 101. of which had been paid cif:
Onettheloss he hod.arrested him for 161.
,frenon
Evans the plaintiff was called, and he gave a similar
1 account with theinsoleent. He 041 he considered he
was to have the 51. as a halt for the loan of the 2W.
hence his present demand was 151.
Mr. Wool:mown addressed the Court io reference
to the debt contracted with Mr. Green, and submitted
that when a person sought the benefit of the Act, be
should cogoider himself subject to the pates and pe-
nalties snowed to it. In the present instance, the
insolvent had contracted an extravagant debt so supply
the parasites by whom he was surrounded ; he (Mr.
Woodrouffe), therefore, hoped the Court would consider
it adebt contracted without probable tapectadioa of
payment, and remand the insolvent accordingly.
Mr. Math. -egos', the other opposing credttor, com-
plained that the insoleentobtained a watch, gold Chains
seals, and osier articles, warm 21i,. from Nib under the
representation that he was an Meer in the 4841 Reg t.
which corps he said be was going to join in 'reload.—
The witness first knew Kipp
_through an introduction
by Lieatteaasu Tauten. He applied to CAwand Green-
wood, and found that the insobrent's repreeeotatioas
were not true.
The insolvent, in reply to this clime, said, that instead et his
&awing solicited the credit, the wowing creditor rather preyed the
goods upon him.
Air. Kneen addressed the Court for the insolvent.—
Tbe Learned Geatlemau said, that it would be well it
an Act of Parlismeatconld be passed to prevent young
men from being extravapot. With respect to the
claim of Mr. Careen, that Gentleman did not appear to
have acted with caution, for he ought to have Stayed
the credit when the bill was soder 151. and sot have
suffered it to accumulate to its present amosot.
The Curie Comulastossa said, that if the insolvent
bad awl Is Duly, he did not know that his fa' her had
reduced his income at the time he contracted the debt
with Mr. Green, nor was he aware that he should be
duped by his Agent. 'Under all the circumstances, the
Court were of opinion that the insolvent was entitled to
be discharged forthwith.
James Bedgood was opposed by Mr. Fiouaset, on be-
half Of James Braithwaite.. The Learned Counsel cross-
examined the insolvent very severely concensieg some
property which he had formerly possessed in Hall street,
Manchester. it consisted of houses, and a smith's shop;
insolvent had sold them to a Mr. Croft for 1001. though
he had told a Mr. Worsley that they were worth 1001. a
year ; be had tried to mortgage them, but could not get
any ope to advance money on them; he possessed some
houses between Stockport and Manchester; he had also
sold them; and had sold his household furniture for three
pounds. Atter some hitcher exasninati n, the Cowl'
declared that he was entitled to the benefit of the Act,
and ordered him to be discharged forthwith.
Willie* Goodwill Torstlinsou.—This insolvent': debts
amounted to nearly 3,0001. It came out, however in
his examination, that he had m widow, anied a whom
he supposed possessed property at the time, but found
out afterwards that she owed about fl,ollt and had no
property. Insolvent only owed 901. and was arrested
for hts wife's debts. The Court, under all the circum-
stances, granted his petition.
