said, that if you prove under the commission, yes
must abandon all your personal remedies. The dif,
ference was likewise striking which the law had made
between the situation of a batikrapt, and that of an
Insolvent debtor not a baukrupt. The, :former was
'compelled to submit to a distribution effects,
whilst the other, incarcerated to be et
live as many had lived in splendour an on
'of his whole property. The role by w e Ginn
was accustomed to exercise its discretion tipon mo-
„lions for staying a certificate, was the degree of hard-
ship which the bankrupt had sustained by the pro-
,needings and conduct of the out-standing creditor.—
Jlis predecessors in that chair had always required a
creditor of this description to' use ill possible db.
patch, and to show that degree of candour towards
the bankrupt by communicating his inteutions, which
might save the latter his time, labour, and expence,
in procuring fruitless signatures to - his certificate.—
The numerous. signatures attached to the certificate
in question showed decisively what was the opinion
entertained of the bankrupt's, character by the ma-
jority of his creditors, nor did the Petition itself state
as any ground for the motion any mal-practices on
his part. It appeaied, therefore, that Mr. Grey the
Petitioner was the assignee of Mr. Keine, the credi-
Ser. who had got proved under the commission; end
that previous to this Petition the bankrupt had-Mei'
arrested sad held to bail. Under these circumstances,
and regarding the motion as mad. for the sole pur.
' pose of staying the certificate, the Petitioner himself
stating that be had .no prospect of benefit resulting
from his proof, he felt it his duty to dismiss the,. Pe.
tition with costs.

account of the mannerin which he obtained the but-

was not able to go for it till he bad done work. The
watchman asked him what he had got, and he said a
" oket," meaning a 6' ket of butter; " he did not
mean " a mouser!" A letter was then produced,
bearing the Banff post mark, stating, that the 46 ket
of butter" in question had been sent by the Juno.
The Magistrate finding that Prisoner had been de-•-
tained by mistake, and in consequence of his north-
ern dialect, expressed his -regret for the circumstance,
end directed he should be discharged. •
Bow-triterr.—On Saturday, Thomas Elliott was
charged with selling game. Prisoner called. at the
Green Man, Bow-Street, and offered the landlord
two. bares for sale. The landlord declined pur-
chasing them; but Dickons, the Officer, who was in
the tap-room, bought them. Prisoner being ques-
tioned as to where he got them, said he would not
answer that gthstion.
The Magistrate was about to convict him in the
penalty of 20s. when an attorney submitted, that
he could not convict, not baring a regular informa-
tion before him.
Mr. Bram° then asked Dickons if he would swear
to ttis belief that Prisoner did not come honestly by
