GEO c. WILDE, Clerk.
All the old processes by which Mr.. Stone
has been held in Jail, being thus set aside he
was released yesterday, and made his appear
ance on the street
But, very soon, the law was again at his
heels, and his affairs were again brought INTO
Court of Insolvency Judge Nation Of Frank
lin county presiding, instead of Judge Chaplin,
who is one of the creditors. There was Pc
titon signed by Geo. Hobbs, praying that
warrant should issue against Mr.. Stones es-
tate because he had been arrested, and not
given bail because he had concealed his prop
erty and because he had removed from the
Commonwealth in 1858, with intent to evade
his creditors.
To this petition Mr. Stone made the follow
ing answer =
"The said Stone answers and says that he
does not admit the allegations contained in
said petition, and requires that the same be
proved. And the said Stone further says that
there is no necessity for the issuing of a war,
rant against his estate, and the settlement of
his affairs by the Court of Insolvency. mas
much as he is willing to submit all matters in
relation to his estate, and as to proper settle
ment with his creditors, to three disinterested
men, two of whom may be selected by his
creditors and one by himself, and that he will
abide by their award, by which course much
litigation and expense will be avoided, and all
matters in controversy can at once be honor
ably and satisfactorily adjusted.
H. D. STONE"
After hearing testimony, Judge Nation de-
cided that the evidence was sufficient to justify
him in ordering warrant to issue on the peti.

which the creditors will accept. We shall see.
