advocating revolution.

Scott said that the only plans open to President
Lincoln were the adoption of the compromise pro.
posed by Mr. Crittenden, or to attempt the c..n.
quest of the South, which was practicable in three
years with 300,000 men under generals like Dessau,
Wolfe, and Hoche, but at au enormous cost
blood and treasure. But the people would neve
afterwards be brought into harmony with their
conquerors, and would have to be held in subjective

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. CommiseioDer Goo(burn.)

Di RR BRAUN AND lONTONIZ-LIABIIXTY OW BANKERS
TO PRODUCE ACCOUNT&
. . .

The bankrupts were hat and cap manufacturers, of Lon-
don-wall, who meetly failed for a large amount, and have
since been prosecuted by the assignees.
Mr. A. Turner, the solicitor to the assignees, stated that
the trial was appointed to coon on on Thursday, and
applied for an order oo the City Bank to supply a wpy of an
account kept with them in the name of Con and C 4., but
which was in reality the account of the bankrupts.
Mr. Pearce, who appeared for the bank, stated that the
accounts had not been opened by the bankrupts, but by
Raphael Kortceke, of Montreal, a solvent man, who had
nothing to do with the bankrupts, though he was the bro-
ther of one of them.

Mr. Turner said it bad been clearly shown, by. the ex-
amination of the bankrupts, that the account wu in reality
theirs.

M. Pearce observed shat the bask might be made comer-
able to Raphael Kortoske, for diaclosmg the state of his
amount.

His Honour, after referring to the 12eth section of the
Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act (one of the unrepealed
sections) rid he was clearly of opinion, and should set
upon it, that this was information which the court believed
was material to the full disclosure of the dealings of the
bankrupts. He did not believe that the name in which the
account was opeocd had anything to do with it ; he was
satisfied that it was in reality that of the bankrupts.
Mr. Pearce—We know nothing of that.
The Commissioner—No ; you know nothing of it, but the
court does. If this objection were allowed to prevail, a
bankrupt might always conceal his dealings by opening an
account ►t his banker'■ in a false name. The order of the
court will be sufficient protection for the bankers in prcduc-
ing the account, and I will direct a special order to be
drawn up to meet the case.
