Insolvent Debtors' Court,...
Francis Workiutaz was opposed by Mr. HEATH for AI r. Whlit- iore, the brewer. It appeared that the insolvent had been Alr. Whitmore's collecting-clerk, and became a defaulter to the amount of 381. 7.., in consequence, as the insolvent stated, of having lost the s.m of 43!. whilst in a state of intoxication. He paid Mf. Whi!- more 81. 7s. in cash, and gave him his promissory note for the re- maining 301., out of which he afterwards paid 51. more ; but he was ultimately arrested for the balance. When questioned as to tlhe time he received certain payments on behalf'of his employer. the insolvent pulled out a pocket.book to refresh lis memory. Mr.HZATsr asked to see it ; tie insolvent with some reluctance gave it to hinm open at the place lie was reading, but protested against counsel's exatnining itbeyointd that. MIr. [i EATrH tisregirt(lc the protest, and drew from the pocket-book abou,t thirty duplicates, and several me- morandums relating tO articles or property pawned, none of which were enutered in the sehedtie.
