Henry Collard, one of his Majesty's Distributors ofi Stamps in the disirict of Rast Keen.r Thc insolvent, it appeared, ha,d been in the employ of Mtir. (ol. lard, as sub-distributor and agent In whom he reposed great confi- dence; but it appeared, in the ens3, that he became a very consider- aMe dlefaulter, and it was on the ground of this deficiency that the present opposition was raised to the defendant's discharge. On Ihis examination bv Mllr. HgATf R, the insolvent,admitted that he horrowed ,-101. of a '11 rJed'rey,with Avhom he deposited a box;oen- taiiming the will ot hisL grandtmother, and other documents relative to his own anti his family's aftairf. On reference to this schedlule, it app2ared, that no mention or Al- lusion was made of these papers, as required by act of Parliament. *Ie denied that he told Mr. Jetfrev, that the will contained a be. quest from his grandmother to hint of 1,800. 3 per CenL (Con- sols, or that he received any vmioney from him axt the time he made the deposit. AMr. HEATH called Mr. Jeffrey, who had been st!blpinaesl to pro. duce the box: but he refused to be sa*orn, unleess his travelling ex- penses were first paid.

Insolvent.-I (lo not mean to inpute it to himi. I think it very likely he did in mv absence. The insolvent went oh to state that he had disposed of lj7001. of statiups to divers persons, for which he had not been paid, buit he appeared unable to name any one with whom he had transactionq of thisdescription. .Mr. HE,EA,lt submitted that the insolvent liad mis.-described hiim- self, and that he mnuit re-advertise. The onus lay on him to pro- duce tile will, &c., as it was evidently a docutnent available tinder his assignments. TIhe learnedl gentleman informed the insolvent that he weuld be xpecteld to produlice all certificates, accounts, SC. as he might expect a fuU a: d particular examination. The CotnT acquiesced in ttie suggestiolns of the learned counsel, and the case was adjouriied 5tre (lie. "he in.olvent was titen remande-A to his former custody. INSOI,VENT flRfTbt' COTJT. JITt, n16.
