MIDDLESEX SPECIAL SESSIONS.
Saturday, Mr. MAI/MARINO and other Magistrates
held a Special Session, for the discharge of Insolvent
Debtors confined in the custody of the SherifF of Mid-
Ileseri when upwards of 170 were discharged. One
person was opposed upon the ground of his imposing
upon a creditor, by passing to him a bill, purporting
to be drawn by J. Johnson 'and Co. of Bristol, for £4.5,
upon it person in the neighbourhood of Shoreditch, but
which was merely a fraudulent instrument, as no such
person ever resided in Bristol. As, however, the Act
requires, in all opposition to imprisoned debtors, when
they seek their liberty, 4, the evidence of the opposing
creditor in person," and, as that creditor was not in
attendance, the Court reluctantly discharged the pri-
soner. Some few were opposed for various causes,
but not more than three or four were sent back to pri.
son; and these were principally for defects in their
notices or sheciules.
