Barling and Howard, Weymouth, £lOO- holds bill
of sale on furniture for 1100. The bankrupt was
examined by Mr. Venn. He stated that on the 17th
of December last he sent a telegraphic Velrge to
Mr. Wood, from Dortheatert o Poole, revere:2g him
to send immediately 20 tons of wale. His reason
for doing this was that he was short of bomb, and
was expecting three cargoes, which shortly after-
wards arrived.. The 20 tons of coals were sent, and
he (the bankrupt) sent a bill of we mouth to Yr.
Wood, which he objected to take ElyVirat it we
al ways his custom to receive cheque coal-mer-
chants- He (bankrupt) then sent a to Mr.
Wood, informing him that he bed "be off" his
business, and .as collecting debts, and would soon
send him • cheque for the amount due to him. Mr.
Venn : Why did you not pay him? Bankrupt : I
would not pay him more than any other creditor.
His Honour, examining the balance-sheet, said may
a portion of the three cargoes of coals had beam
sold. Mr. Venn said his client was nadir the
im-
pression that all had been mold. Mr. Wood, how-
ever, complained of the conduct of bankrupt in send-
ing for coals by telegraphic message jut before re-
ceiving three cargoes, and then, after promising pay-
went, never having fulfilled that premise. He ()dr.
enn) was instructed not to oppose the bankrupt's
passing his last examination but he should probably
oppose him on the certificate day. The bankrupt
was then allowed to pass his examination, and the
4th of May was appointed as the certificate day.
