!NSOLVZIfI DIDTORS' COURT, APRIL S.

IiANDALL V. IVitsT.

John West, an American, who • was remanded On
the 22J of March, again petitioned to be discharged.
He was remanded for giving a wrong description
himself; he then' called himself a millwright ; be
now described himself a watch-cleaner and a trans-
parent soap-manufacturer.
Mr. &WILY, who opposed his discharge, asked the
Insolvent if he had not been a quack doctor, as well
as a millwright, watch cleaner, and soar-maker 1 he
said that he Lad the tecipe of a must. valuable medi-
cine, which was given hint by an American gentle.
man. Mr. Barry produced a receipt of the Insol-
vent's, which he had given last month in the name
of West and Co. and produced 'a printeJ paper, which
stated, that" at the soap-manufactory at Battle-bridge,
carried on by Messrs. West and Co. transparent soap
might be purchased," &c. Mr. Barry asked the In-
solvent who was his partner ? He said that he had
none. Mr. Bury could produce no evidence that he
had one. lie asked him what he had -done with
Use soap i He replied, that he bad sold it all.
The Jettie.t.wr said, " 'Whatever may have become
of the soap, it is plain that all the creditcrs are in
the suds."

Mr. Bnilnv replied, " It would have been more to
the Insolvent's credit, if he had made better use of it,
and come into court with clean hands." Mr. Barry
asked him, what had become of a mill hi once bad
when lie was a millwright
Insolvent. That was when I was in America ;
it was washed away by a Hood."
Mr. BARRY-.-" So your soap is all washed away,
your mill is washed awev, and now you come here
to be bleached yourself, or, in other turns, to get clear
of all your debts."
Mr. Bassinr supported the Insolvent successfully.
He said, that nothing had been proved against hilt.'
That he had acted in an honest manner to his credi-
tors the Court would give him credit for, unless it
was disproved. He was discharged.
Mr. Basairrr moved the Court, that Robert Greg-
son (the celebrated *pugilist), whose petition was dis-
missed some time since, in consequence of his not
;scaring, be allowed to re-petition. Mr. Bassett said,
that the cause why Gregson did not come up was,
'his having been out of tiie Rules of the Prison within
three months of the time when he petitioned. He had
now beer, within the walls of the King's Bench Pri-
son more than three months, and claimed the benefit
of that Court. The motion was granted, and the
Court adieu: tied.

DemoLAnn v. cocurt %Ni.

Jchn Dundar Ccchraee, E.q. a Captain in the Royal
Navy, on hall-pay, and son of the Hon. Alexander
eireirane Johnstone, was brought up to be discharg-
ed. This Gentleman was opposed at considerable
length by Mr. Arounce. The substance of his ex-
ruination was as folio:4 :—Early in August, 1815,
lie arrived at Trinidad in a merchant vessel, from
the Island of DJminica, with a valuable cargo, the.
property of his father, the particulars of which, after
some conversation between the Counsel on both sides,
u was agreed not to inquire inre. This cargo he
sold 14 10,600 dollars, to Messrs. Dumolard, Car-
raccin, and Co. merchants, at Trinidad, onr of the
partners of which firm he had left behind at Domi-1
niea. The house knew very-well that the cargo be-
longed to his father, and that he himself bad no,
other property but his commission its the Navy.—
There being a scarcity of specie in the island, Messrs.
Dumolard and Co. tendered, in part payment for
the cargo, bills on England at a certain date; but
Captain Cochrane, knowing that his father wanted a
chit settlement, preferred accepting value in dry
goods. These goods were accordingly. put on board
the same vessel that delivered the previous cargo,
and which was in the first instance chartered by Mr.
Cochrane Johnstone from the Island of Dominica to
Trinidad, and back again. It. was-found they were
insufficient to fill the ship. Under these circum-
stances, and the charge of freight being payable if
the .sessel returned empty, Messrs. Dumolard and
Co. proposed to 611 up the deficiency in the cargo
nominally on Captain Coehratte's responsibility, but
evilly on that of his father, whom they knew, and
.whh whom the other's dealing was tritsacted
through the medium of his son. Goods were ac-
cordingly put on board, to the value of £lOl2 ster-
ling, for the amount of which Captain Cochrane
gave his own note, payable at one mouth's date ltrom
the 3d of August.
On the 26th of the same month, Captain Cochrane
,learning that tbe*Admiralty were likely to take no.
tice of something (4 disclosure of- the nature of which
was not pressed in this examination), relinquished
his intention dreaming to Dominica with the cargo.
Which he sent forward under the care of some other
Person, and advised Messrs. Dumolard arid Co. that
he was unexpectedly obliged to shape his course to
England, but that hi bad written to his father, re-
questing him to mete the necessary arrangements:
for the payment of the "note. tehich he (the song hid
tempted' for completing the ship's Cis*. —tor the
mown of this note Captain Cochrane was some time
alp arrested, until which moment he declared that
he thought his father, who had received all the goods
sod paid the freight, of the vessel, had long since set-
tled the whole transactions He had never himself
received a penny oat of it. These were shortly the
particulars of the case.
Mr.*Serj:ant RUNNINOTOW, In reviewing the parti-
.culars of the case, as disclosed by Captain Cochrane,
and uncontradicted by any evidence on-the Art of the
opposing creditor, was of opinion, that cherish the
Captain had legally madd himself liable fOr the pay-
ment of his note of /11012, yet that no fraud appear-
ed on the face of the transaction, as the parties knew
they were dealing Oa the eceount of the father, and
had themselves proposed the adJitional filling up of
the cargo.—Captain Cochrane was then discharged.

Oa the evening of Good Friday the home of Mr.
Habgood, goldsmith, of George-street. Foster-lane.
was entered by. a gang of villains, who not only
packed up every thing that lids portable, bet regaled
themselves with several bottles Cl wine, *some beef.

their whole purpose, not being able to open sha isms

rable booty. The family were absents theltonse being
about to be pulled down—the workmen we:titers,.
