Uwe would certainly yield nothian to the &oats. The pro-
perty given up cossisted of the hrig Jane Greco, valued at
60001, but as the b inkrupts had paid only iOOl. of the
purchase money, the former owner had brought an action
against the assignees. Tn. bankrupts bad given up a cots

Mr. Sigeoliog begged I. May that entrant.

distinct uadersteading that it should he retired. Between
the 22nd of May and the haakruptcy, we only parebased
stens forehipe; the amoust might be 2,0001. or 3,40111. of
which about 1,0081. has been paid. Sinn tile 22nd of Kaw,
we teaseled a debt of 4001 or MI with Mr. Tennant; bat
he solicited the order. We did not tell him that we were be
a state of insolvency ; bat the undentandim was that we
were to have twelve mouths' credit. We agreed to purchase
the Jute Orem on the 27th of May; but we were them in
ezpeetatioa of a eminence from Australia of 1,6001. from
the captain of the Jolts Barrow. Up to that time we had
incurred a green Ins of 3,237 s eto our 'ideologies, i rrrr pee-
ten of 1,94131. trade espouses, and 1,2001. drawn out rhoyoarthers. We chartered the Oudekirk on the 22nd of April,
Mt the charter party was eareelled in July, owing to the
diaculty of getting emigrants for the vessel. Some delay
bad taken pl.ee in the dispatch of the previous visual, the
Australia, and proceedings were taken spinet as at the
Marion, house, -which tended to injure our credit. The
delay wee partly owing to our not being able to get stores tea
board; we could not get credit for them. The charter.
peed of the Oudakirk was cancelled at a ins to se id
1,7001. We afterwards bought the Jane Green. We began
to receive money from the emigrants in June or
July, and continued to do so until the bankrupts',
ornearly so. The custom is for half the passage-money
to be paid wino the berth is taken, t he remetuder when
I the vessel is ready, which is announced to the pueengetn by
circular. I knee that a great many of the Jane Green's

ble and Co.'s bill was opening due (27th July) I wrote to
them asking them for time, and stating that we had a re-
mittent* of near 2,0001. coming from Australis the next
week. We expected 1,6001 from the captain of the John
Borrow, the proceeds of a voyage from Ketone to Sydney.
Mr. Glover, of the house of Gamble and Co., waited open
me in consequence, sod eked to look at ear bill-bona. I
refused to sh ow it. He asked me, upon my homer as a
gentleman, if I would say that we were solvent. I did sot
gay so positively ; but mid that if he would glee us the sr
commodetion asked, I wee sun the bill would tee met. We
bad been proceeded against in bankruptcy at that time by
either one or two parties.
By Mr. Lioklater (for the bankrupts)—Before I went
into buonem, l Val bookkeeper and managing clerk to
Messrs. Vaughan and Sneldon for in or seven years. My
brother had been to Australis. I commenced hotlines
alone in October, 1852, ae • -sip and insurance broker. It
wee et Messrs. Sheld n's issue:ea that I entered into hon•
nem as a ship and iosuranee broker. It is a business the t
requires scarcely any capital at all. I bad assistance from
my friends; my mother is a creditor for 6001. In four or
lye mouths r. N. aerobe idea me. He had been
eonsected with the temperenee movement, and had a large
ensnarer in the northern and midland districts. We com-
menced a " temperance" line of packets, and had coo-
aiderable success. Oar first step was to purchase the John
Barrow of Mr. Stainaborougb. We paid the whole of the
Porebase money before the vessel sailed out of the venire
from the emigrant.. The cost of the wise' wee 2.8001, and
entrant. fl,eked in so fast that we received 3.4001. from
them. The remit of this first venture was a profit of 1,2001
Or 1,1001. We chartered and sent nut other fear vessel to
1863, but we did tot find it so profitable to charter as to
buy meets We chartered at much higher rates than
we should have done could we have foresees the
impending fell of freights. We chartered the Moots
from known home in the City. At that time, sad
redgeqsestly, we had the groat bulk of the emigrant nen
from -Leaden. We have sent out about 2,300 or 2,400
emigrants. Testimonial' and lettere were received from
those who went by the first vessels, which we published,
and these induced others to go by Oaf ships. My brother
pissed as in the begioning of 1864. He bad great teen
ledge of the enlonie , and he nonionic the menagement of
the home is Liverpool. Fleeting it more meltable to bay
than to charter, we bought the Dayleeford of MOWS.
Bayley and Ridley for 6,2001. The vendors meld have
sold her for more aftereards. The Dayleaford was also sent
out with emigrant'. We ea de a profit oa that ship of up-
wards of 3 OM/ Os the Emotes, the neat weasel, we made
a profit of 2,102:. Oa the four retrieved veers s there was
a Inn but tan wee emended by the proles no the John Bar-
row, the Dulesfeed, and the .litstoria, by about 1,2001 or
1,3801. This cantinas armed that we should get beck
for the vessels what we had glees he then. In Aril, 1854.
we established the house in Liverpool, which was very
edvantageose to to. Owing to the extension of our opera-
tions, we foaled been's.," to take offices in Graosehorch-

They had delayed lentil the last moment, fur wen obvious
reasons, the duty M victualling the ship; Me. M•Calethy,
iodise that they were in bad credit, refused to inlet his
arotrart ; end the result was, the vessel build not be des
mtehed. The dock dues mous wore about 140001.; cad the
isankrupes bad not as many shillings. The mohey
of the emigres having been misapplied, it might
be held that every one of these debts bed be en
cioateseted by fraud. Whey hankreptey wee in-
evitable, they had preferred certaia creditors, by
giving them mortgagee, and still went on oeetracting debt..
to the very last. Is pursuing Mimeses the &minuets had
sly acted troat a seas .f their duty to the creditors, and to
the mercantile public at large. It was gratifying to know
1 that the poor ere at who had paid their paseagemioney
by the Jane Green bad been seeded, by the public bi novo
leash to make the pasage, otherwise the case would have
been one of the most distressing that could be imagined.
Mr. Li
emsended that the bankrupts were not near
es bleceable as had been represented. One of them, Ebenezer
°ileitis, had, Osiris' his clerkship in one of the princiesl
houses is London, acquired great aptitude for busies+, snit
was respected by all who knew him. The business whet
be had commenoed required little or no capital,
jutb a good
ewnesion, which Mr. Griffiths 'Wised. H. etas dued hy
Mr. Newcombe, who also had peculiar advantages, a few
mewls afterwards. They purchased the John Borrow atla
moderate price, and the terms were made easy to
them. Many men in London bad, by • single
voyage, realised enough to pay for the ship; eud
why should not this young men have expemed to do the
same ? They had never made ate of misrepresentation to a
single creditor, and there was so oppoeition but that of the
asigners. They had made • profit of 1,8001. by 'he .Inhie
Barrow, and naturally hoped to succeed «gunny well eiti
the yowls they chartered. It termed out that there was a
leas on these vessel", but this less was not known to them
at the time. Believing that they mold succeed better by
purchasing vessels, they did so. In January, 1864, they
were carrying on a most extensive emigration hu.iness,
second to nose In London, and at that period the younger
Griffiths joined the firm, by which they were enabled to
establish • house in Liverpool. By

6,6761 From this eras to be deducted the loss- on the
chartered vessels of 6,4001.; leaving an amount of &bunt

lishing • house at Liverpool. They Mistreat s lest
11,7001. by tbe Australia ; but they could not thee
Ilat p, being ender engagements in respect of vessels
which they And chartered. This had been the cam
all through; so that it was extremely dialect to say at what
point they ought to have stopped ; for they won all along
midis engagameats to emigrants who bad paid their pavans
money. It was charged against them that they bed takers
the money of the passengen by the Jane Green wittiest
the slightest probability of their being able to send out the
vowel. But for the refusal of Mr. leCarthy to fulfil his
contract to supply the ship with previsions in eight days,
die would have sailed at the time appointed. Toe hint'
rupee did all in their power to prevail on *earthy to fulfil
has contract; they got a friend to guarantee half the assuut ; 1
and ue to the 17th or 18th of August they had every hoe
of being able to carry out their engagements. After the 18th'
of that month they bad refined to take any further money
from emigrants. There was no pretence whatever for
saying that they bad cheated the emigrants out of their hard-
d rains ; for at that time they had no ground to suppose
themeelves on the ewe of bankruptcy. The Jane Green, worth
6,0001., would have gone away their unineumbered property;
and they were also in expectation of several Moused wands
from the homeward freights of the Daylesford and HisterS.
Of the lames 9.8001., 4,6001 was in respect of the realisation
of property. This the bankrupts could not anticipate ; at the
time the Jane Green ought to have sailed their property, on
• computation of what it had cost them, might be taken at
21,0001, to meet debts of about 24,0001 Beery... knew
that there bad been a fearful depreciation in the value of
shipping, chiefly owing to the failure to Oliver, of Liverpool,
whereby &great number of vessels bad been thrown on Me
market. A prorsimat instance of this was the Dsyleeford,
which bad cost the bankrupts 10,0001., and had sold for
2,1001. Under the circumstance's it was impossible f r them
to believe that their bankruptcy was impending at the time
when they gave the mortgages. They bad no emirs to
prefer one creditor over another, nor did they support" that
they were doing so. The books bad been remarkably
well kept; every farthing was entered up to the
last hour; and their personal ezpenditere bad been
exceedingly small. Nine months bad elapsed since
the bankruptcy ; during this time the assignees
had made the most thorough exeminatios of the
amounts, and were satisfied that nothing had been eoa.
staled. Chia being so, the bankrupts now hoped to receive
their eertifiestes, seeing that they had not been guilty of 1
any of the effesces specified in the act; and es the failure
was, to a large extent, the result of loss on the realiz dein
of the property, they hoped to receive certificates of the
second else.
