Vieafio st., from Gibraltar, was entering Lisbon when the Scourge

the Daphne put into Vigo on the 14th inst., short of provisions, and
mailed again on the 18th Rot. for England, all well. The Scourge

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTEBDAT.
Before 30r. Commissioner shepherd.
A WRONG ENVELOPE.—An ironmonger, named Eckstein,
came up to pass his last examination as a bankrupt. The bank-
rupt had been in trade two years and a half, having com-
menced with a capital of 100/. His debts now amounted
to 1,7001., and liabilities, principally upon bills of exchange,
3,0001. The profits were 1,9001., while the expenses, bad
debts, and losses amounted to about 4,0001. There was pro-
perty to the amount of 6901. in the hands of creditors, but
there was not one date attached to certain transactions (bill
of gale, &c.). The assignees were relations of the bankrupt,
and did not oppose. A letter was handed in which had been
intended for a broker; but the bankrupt, having to write
two, the letter for the broker was sent by mistake to Mr.
Buchanan's client. The purport of this letter was, praying
that the broker would value the stock and furniture as little
over 3021. as possible ; it being supposed that a friend of the
bankrupt's would buy the goods in."—llis Honour consi-
dered this a fraudulent transaction, but did not effect the
account, and therefore the bankrupt passed his last examina-
tion. These would be grounds for suspension of certificate.
