HA LSTOCK.

rA BANKRUPT CLIEROYM•N. —The Commissioner
of the Exeter Bankruptcy Court, Mr. Biggs
Andrew*, bag again had before him the case of
Robert Fitzgerald Meredith, clerk in holy orders,
who had held livings ni ruins, parts of England
and Ireland, the last being that of Halstock. There
had been four sequestrations. His total liabilities
were about £14.500, and his assets £1.572, the
deficiency being near £13,000. The bankrupt's
domestic expenses for the two years proceeding hi•
bankruptcy were set down at £350 per enema His
property bad been mortgaged, and he had gone
about the country getting fresh livings and running
into debt. The creditors strongly opposed the
bankrupt on the ground of his contracting debts
without reasonable expectation of paying the game,
concealing goods, and vexatiously opposing actions
brought against him by money lenders. His honour
allowed the bankrupt to paaehi. last examination,
but suspended his discharge for six months with
protection.
