gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £1 la-id.
WILLIAM DYKE V. MARY JONES.—MV. Grocott ap-
peared for plaintiff, and Mr. Hime for the defendant.
'Phis action had been brought for £2O. A verdict was given
at the last Court for £lO, and another quarter's rent, £lO,
was now due. Mrs. Jones stated that she had expended
£5O for the goodwill of the premises, and £216 for stock.
Mr. Dyke had offered to forgive her the debt if she would
leave the house, but she refused to do this unless she was
indemnified in some degree for her expenditure for good-
will, or Mr. Dyke would accept a tenant whom she offered:.
Mr. Grocott now applied for her committal, on the ground
that defendant had been guilty of misconduct in taking
the premises, not having at the time the means of paying
her rent. His Honour said the defendant was a milliner,.
and had hoped to get a good business. He did not con-
sider that she had been guilty of misconduct at the time
of taking the premises, and therefore would dismiss the
case.

The case was entered into and argued on both sides,
when
his Honour shortly stated the 'farts of the cue. The in-
solvent was a ship-builder; he had 59 creditors to the
amount of about R 2,500. Forty-nine of these had agreed
to accept the insolvent 's offer of 4s. 7d. in the pound, and
ten had refused to accept • it, who were creditors to the
amount of about £lOO. The question was whether the
insolvent, finding such to be the case, should have
gone to
his
the Bankruptcy Court and asked that Court to administer
y, as he might have done, or whether it was
against public policy for him to appear in this court. Mr.
Evans was right in arguing that the insolvent was a per-
fection
son to w
would hom he won as entitled to give relief. The only ob.
be the ground of public policy, that it
would have been less expense to have administered to
the estate in the Bankruptcy Court. —Mr. Hime argued
that the insolvent ought not to have executed the deed
at all, but he ought to have gone to the Court of Bank-
veldeduse the

dn
his decision he had not adhered to that
he therefore supposed- that there was some
roiwitutrshut
and
inaccuracy in the report. In such a case, therefore, he
thought he should be at liberty to enter into the
fullest investigation of the manner in which the assign-
ment had been brought about, the mode in which it
had been conducted, and the honesty of the deali
with which it had been carried .out. The fact that the
insolvent had not applied in the first place to a public
tribunal, rendered it incumbent upon him to exercise great
care in the consideration of the case. At the same time
it would be his business to inquire what would have been
the most beneficial mode of administering the estate
He also required thro- - fullest

ae - means or investigation
should be afforded to the opposing creditor in the accounts,
and the circumstances relating to the assignment, and
the assets of the estate. He would therefore name the
2d of October for the granting of the final order.
A final order was granted to David Scott.
The further examinations of John Turner, John
Pnghe, and Fli7abeth Done, were adjourned until the '24
of October.

The case of Richard Maddock was adjourned until tl
10th of October, and the case of Lawrence Holder pow
paned for two months.
This closed the business of the first day's sittine.
