in litigatioe. Jobe Tarlton conceived that Mr. Pus-
tlethwaite would bee better partner than Mr. Back•
house, and be therefore wished to get rid of Mr.
Deckhouse. To Mr. Postletharaite he suggested that
they had large demands upon him, sod (list it would
be better for him to costcor in his violas. To Mr.
Deckhouse, he said that Postlethwaite's property in
the West Indies was loaded with colonial debts which
would hate precedeocy, and therefore it • :add be
better for Mr. Deckhouse to dispose of his interest ie
the concern to him, Tatl.on. Mr. Deckhouse, hav-
ing a large family, was anzioes to extricate himself
(rum the situation in which he was placed, and It was
agreed that 'reittou should pay to Deckhouse
53,0601. foe his share of the concern. Pestle
thwaite, who knew the nature of the property
abroad, bad no objection to the arrangement, but
Tatham proposed web hard terms to him that ha

to receive 40,0001. for his abate of the business, pay•

said be had now attived at a settee of proceedings I
which were immediately applicable to the case. In
the following year Tarim' levitated a suit against
Deckhouse, to set abide the bonds. The bill seg.

had been obtained in the manlier imputed. At that
time 33,0001. were due oar the bonds, and his Lord-
ship ordered, that if the was found is favour of
the executors, Tarlton should pay the arm's. The
issue was tried, and it was found that the bonds bad
not been unduly obtained. The deeds ie question
wets dated in March, 1815. After the taws had
bees tried, opplicatiuos were made at Mr. Torltoo's,
who had a wiegailicest Mesa in Gloocester•place.—
The applications for him proved unavailing : be sat
constantly denied, and at leogth a commission was

month Tarlton presented a commission to supersede
the commission, sod so Issue was directed to try
whether he was bookrept or not. The issue was
tried before Lord Eilesborsegh, sod the bankruptcy
was established. These were the circumstances es.
der which the bankruptcy stood. In Ililary Term,
