the cir....nostaitc-s or •hi.g ap-licatiort, •ta hick Way a
motigt- on behalf of Mr. Wren& against the Editor
end l'uts!i-11.-1.• of a Niggtosing Paper. on the ground
that cha•urter of the former had tweet trsdnced
and feisty repgenettrest„ in ah article professing' to
report prorgediegga in that Court. lb had now
honest( to od-elp, that nil npaloa, had been ill‘Prtad
on thc slat fo!kswing the publication of the libel.
and that a sub-equent explanation had been added,
a. hich was quite .atisfsetgwy to the feelings of his
Ciient. Under these drcolestances. and as the cha-
rac.er of Mr. Merged was now fully vindicated, he
should decline trouhliog his Lordship, with any far-
ther application on the subject.
The Loan CH ANCELLOR observed, that he had
sett ori4inal ibel, as well as the two sehsequent
es,.lination. and it appeared sufficiently manifest
that there had not been ma the part of the Defendants
any intention .of silifyiAg or injuring the reputation
of Mr. 51orand. As that Gentleman •was satisfied,
it ..ta. not for him to make any farther stlintadver.

ported to represent.

INSOEVENT DEBTORS' COURT,-.4uG.S.

Thomas Peters was opposedby Mr. Prince Smith,
on the ground of an unsatisfactory return in his
schedule. On examination; however, the Prisoner's
return appeared to be correct, and he was dis.
charger!.
Woo. Tornland was opposed by Mr. Smith, ou
areount of fraud in his dealing with.a Mr. Emery, a
leather merchant. The PrisonerOt appeared, was
iu tribit of purchasing leather fivnia.Mr, Etnery,
aso I toad sol.l the last purchase he made frAcn him at
a reduced price, which led to the opposition to his
claim for a discharge. The Prisoner's statement of
this last transaction not being satisfactory, he-was
;mandril by the Court.
Augustus Crone Erenois, a , foreigner, was op-
posed, iu consequence of an imperfect return of his
effects The Prisoner, was a mover mariner, who
traded between this country Ind Ostend, and failed
in the course of his speculations: he underwent a
)(tag :pollination, in the.concse of whicn no fraudu-
lent imputation appeared to attach to his conduct.
Mr. P. Stems, on the part of the opposing credi-
tor% suggested to the Court the necessity of compel.
jirg the Prisoner to toter into security that he would
not quit the country, or that be wopl4, at least.give
a bond to pay his debts, feterp time hes. be.
came itossessed of stacient meaus fey. that. purpose.
Ti.e late Scrieaut Palmer, .be ',aid, had ruled, that a
foreigner soonld obtainthe.consent of two-thirds. of
.leis creditors, either in number or amount, to. iris
.ffi,rharge; because if be was once a)lo wed to be
Jilterated uncooditionally, his creditors bad no seas.
rity, if he ultimately obtained property, that he
would remain its the country where hia creditors
could attach hi 4 effects.
The COURT admitted, that In ease of an appear.
.ance of fraud on the pert of a prisooer and foreigner,
such a security may be proper in the present case,
-however, there seemed no fraudulent intention. The
ease could stand sorer, perhaps the Prisoner would
have it in his power to procure a native of this coun.
try to join him in security to his creditors, in the
event of his having at a future time realised means
suiiicient to liquidate his debts.
