This was the first meeting for the proof of debts and
choice of assignees in the matter of George William Cullen,
of the Duchene of Kent, 11. -street,ut=ste, part of the
time at the Tiveli-gardens, victualler, and
occesioeally actin as steward on board steamboats.
Mr. W. R. Buchanan appeared for the petitioner and a
numerous body of creditors ; Mr. Baddeley was for Mews.
Hoare and Gifford. distillers.
The debts are 9941. 13e., and the failure is attributed
to the alteratioe and lacrimal of the Itanissate pier dues,
opening of the new railway, London, Chatham, and Dover,
which taker visitors in another direction to the house, and
general badness of trade. The principal creditors are
fisears. Cramp and Son, brewers, High-street, Ramsgate,
and Mesas. Bowe and Gifford, the distillers.

Mr. Robert Cramp, brewer, of Ramsgate, was nominated
by Mr. Buchanan as assigaee.
Mr. Baddeley, for Means. Hoare sad Gifford, objected to
the nominatioo. Mr. Cramp, at the sale of the property,
bought nearly all the estate, and would not therefore see to
the interests of the other creditors if appointed.
Mr. W. R. Buchanan, in reply, said that Mr. Cramp
always carried on his business in a most uptight manner.
He had bees a well known brewer at Itarnegitte for thirty
or forty years, was • gentleman of large fortune, and his
conduct was beyond suspicion.
Mr. Baddeley would be content if one of his clients was
joined in the choice.
Mr. Buchanan said it wee so use having two minor
"placed" in jostapoeitioo. There was no proof of say de-
sire ou the part of the creditors to that effect, and the only
result would be out of the estate two attorneys would have
to be paid.
Ultimately Mr. Baddeley abandoned his objection, and
Mr. Cramp was appointed sasigaee. The next meeting was
fixed for the 28th of November, to which day the bankrupt's
protection was enlarged.

This was the rust meeting for the proof of debts and
choice of assignees. The bankrupt, Vincenzo di Tergolina,

bankrupt had petitioned the court, having been arrested at
the suit of a Mos Catherine Stokes, and bad been ordered to
find bat for his appearance at the different meetings in this
court. The debts do not exceed 5001., and the failure is
attributed to "losses sustained in my endeavour, to estab-
lish a bovines, and insufficiency of my income." The bank-
