Insolvency Court: Re: Henry Jones, Bilton, Beer-retailer: – The first hearing of this insolvent was opposed by Mr. Hellings and supported by Mr. Edlin. The opposition was made on-behalf of Mr. Pincent, a creditor for £9, and it was grounded on the fact of the insolvent having vexatiously defended an action. Mr. Edlin contended that that objection was not within the meaning of the statutes that the action had not been defended; but only an appearance of time obtained, and this even had been done without the sanction of the insolvent. After a long conversation between the learned gentleman, His Honour decided that if the action had not been defended, there had been a vexatious delay obtained, and that therefore he should adjourn the petition ”sine die,” to allow the opposing creditors to take further proceedings. Mr. Edlin submitted that this would be a great hardship on the insolvent, for if Mr. Pincent’s debt was paid there would be an end to the opposition and suggested a short adjournment to enable the insolvent’s friends to make some arrangement in regard to this debt. Mr. Hellings, having assented to this course, his Honour adjourned the petition for six weeks, without protection.
