IN sa T. N. BMOWN.
This was a meeting for We last examination of the bank-
rupt, a pawnbroker, of Fetter-lane. Hr. Duncan supported
and the bankrupt was unopposed. His debts are as follows:
To unsecured creditors, 18,31161. ; to creditors holding se-
runty, 6,6411. ; his liabilities are a further sum of 4,6761. The

4011 ; doubtful debts, 2,3481.; property, 6,2761. ; property
in the bands of auditors, 4,0631.; property held by has lia-
bility creditors, 6101. The bad debts are pat down at
2,4621., and the losses at 6,9211. There was some doubt
whether the bankrupt was a debtor for 761. or a
creditor for 3601. on amount of Gouldea's trustees.
His Honour admitted the proof for 761., without
prejudice to the assignees' right to establish their
claim on a future occasion, to be considered creditors
in the place of debtors. There was some investiga-
tion rear ecting the destruction of two books, eonesting of a
pocket ledger and a memorandum book. It appeared that
the books contained the statements of the bankrupt's trans-
senoras as a stock and tharebroker, In Tbrogmortonstreet.
♦ lass of upwards of 4,0001. had been incurred in this ban-
ners, sad the bankrupt stated that he had destroyed them
in a moment of great irritation. No Imputation was made
that' the books had been destroyed from any impreporor
fraudulent motive.
His Honour then passed the bankrupt's examination.
