Head Matter:
SAMUEL THOMAS v. HIS CREDITORS.
In matter of Insolvency.
Mr. Hamilton,
in behalf of Mr. Sherrard, moved for a mandamus to Warren Common Pleas, to hear the application of Thomas for his discharge as an insolvent debtor.
The Common Pleas rejected his application, because his notice to two of his creditors, was left at their store instead of their residence. His examination was refused, but permission was given to him to apply again at the next term.
After giving notice thereof to all his creditors, he applied again at the next term when the Court refused to hear him, upon the ground of there being no new arrest.
In support of the present motion, the statute in Harr. Comp. 300, was read.
W. Halsted, contra.
The Court had no power to adjourn his hearing to another term.

Opinion:
By the Court.
No mandamus can be awarded in this case.
Mandamus refused.
