The total liabilities were 4,6124 ,• and on the other side she

The bankrupt's furniture, homes, carriages, dm., bad realised

were claimed by Mrs. Windham. The assigner bad
not asserted their right to that property, believ-

the property under hie father's will seta 19841; Mat pro-
perty was valued at 25.0004, but from that 11,0001. was to
be deducted, in respect of a purchase by truster. The ',-
signets had gone into that goodie°, and were advised that
that sale could not stand. It was now the subject of a bill
in Chaneery. It Mould be stated, with reference to the
bankrupt's antecedents, that be had become bankrupt at
the request of creditors for the purpose of contesting these
securities ad sines the bankruptcy, so far as be
bad the intellectual means, he had rendered the assignees
all the assistance in his power. Of course, it was hombre
to look for anything like a full and detailed account from
the bankrupt.
Mr. Fitoisgli. for Mi. LW; a judgment creditor for
2004, did not oppose the passing of the bankrupt. Miss
laws had sued the bankrupt for an smolt.
His Honour—What can we have to do with that bars

Mr. Breath did sot tTrinitlr;cronidbriegtiiTcase within

the bankrupt gave up property which the midguess valued
at upwards of 30,0001.
Mr. Brough urged that the bankrupt had lived vs/ryes-
travagantly. The list of creditors embraced all kinds
of tradesmen. There wire sevenl judgments against bim,
and he had been compelled in consequeece to beams
bankrupt.
Mr. 8. Chidley also opposed for Mr. Chapman, of North
Waltham. He suggested that, ea the property wee not yet
realised, and as there might be a deficiency, the order of
discharge should be adjourned.
Mr. Lawranoe, in answer to the court, said he bad no
doubt that sufficient would be realised to pay the debts.
He did not ask that the order of discharge should be ad-
journed on that aosoust.
His Hower said so objection was made by say one to the
bankrupt posing his examination. Ae to the charge of ex-
travagant living, aceordieg to the figures in the balance-
sheet the bankrupt was solvent. with a surplus of 28,0001. ;
therefore the objection wept for wellies. There was no
objection to the bankrupt ;ening, and he was entitled to
an immeliate order of decharge.
The bankrupt was presser, but did not make his appear-
ance in the box usually occupied by baakrupta.
