MUNDAY'S BANKRUPTCY.

To Me Zdiiors.

have read your correspondent, "H. Moore's"
long and rambling epistle., and am ashamed for the
credit of the profeasion, that he should have strung
together such a mass of miwetatements and had law,
and rushed into print with it, after hairless had it
all thoroughly disproved loth before the Registrar
and the Judge. He shoold have begun his late.
with the line "Pity the sorrows of a poor old man,"
and he really is, in some measure, to be pitied. He
made a miming error in petitioning the court, as the
Judge told him, but he doubtless thought, as Messrc
bod,on and Fogg did in the celebrated Pickwick
trial, that he should get his costa out of the other
side, but through the uprightinp and good maw of
the Judge, he hasn't succeeded. I hope he won't
charge poor Mr. Monday for his letter according to
the length, but according to its value, and that ia
certainly very trifling, either to himself or the
bankrupt. lam sure Mr. Moore, instead of blaming
your reporter, ought to have been very much obliged
to hini for not fully publishing the scooting of the
castigation whieh he (Mr Moore) received in the
coon'! court, sod which, as your reporter says,
would have been amusing to the public, but not very
ideassat reading for Mr. Moore. The Judge wee
astonished at Mr. Moore's having the
onindeoce to endeavor • second time to upset the
bill of sale, without @hewing the slightest ground for
imputing fraud, Mr. Manday's only (*editor (with
the exception of three, whose united debts were
*bout £6) being Mr. Rolls himself ; and Mr. Mows',
only remain for asking such a ridiculous thing being
that be *aided the proceeds fir his nate. Doesn't
be wish he may get them? His egotism is highly
amusing. A ilemet.lemein of Mr. John's high standing
in the profession, knows nothing about the law
awl the Judge is in the same ignorant *tat. I How
dreadful to think that only Mr. Moore knows any-
thing of the law, and yet that we WV obliged to
abide by the Judge's decision. Wouldn't it be
possible for Mr. Moore to get both Judge and
liegiarar removed? The statement of account pub-
lished by Mr. Moore. as well se Ina assertion that the
bankrupt had only £2 per week, are ss the public
here know "pure &tines of the imagination." and
it would be only • wane of time to go into the
matter. Instead of guottag the osso "Re Marshall
bankrupt" as an authority in the appointment of
assignee, he should hays told us what be did in
"Re Henry Moors, bankrupt," and there, if I
recollect rightly, be got a
and
fnend of hie own
appointed as assignee, and not a stranger! I What
an extraordinary verdant individual Mr. Rolls'
attorney would have been to have got • stranger
appointed assignee for the purpose of having the
money banded over to Mr. Moore, instead of to his
01111 client I! Uncommonly Dios this would have
been for Mr. Moore, who lain vexed that the prim
bankrupt shouldn't have had his oasts allowed.
According to Mr. Moore's romsoaing, it is very herd
that 'or. Rolls, after having lost about ale°,
shouldn't be oompelkd to pay the eons of the bent•
rapt, as he hasn't any money hinnelf. I could, if it
wasn't for trempawing longer on your space, and
that I haven't so mach spare Pun as Mr. Moore,
show ahnoet every sentence of bis lamentations to be
founded on lictioa" instead of fact, but as I had
the pleasure of picking them to pieces before the
Judge (who fully concurred in everything I said), I
shall not attempt a eseond edition in your columns,
the whole affair being too well known here to sall
Let amy 'nether explanatiett.
