The bankrupt states that, under the provi
partnership with Mr. Chatterton, he claims the benefit of
those rights for his separate estate, 'abject to the satis-
faction of the partnership debts.
Mr. G. Lewis, for the assignees, stated that the accounts
had only been filed one day, and there must necessarily be
an adjournment.
Mr. Bagley, for the bankrupt, stated that there were
very peculiar circumstances which had prevented the
accounts being filed earlier.
The bankrupt said that he had not been able to obtain
aeons to his books, owing
in to his long imprisonment,
time to prepare his *mounts. Many of the debts
in hie balance-sheet were joint debts; owing by the
partnership.
Mr. Lewis said that the countant who was acting for
the bankrupt had had access to the books whenever he re-
quired it.
Ultimately an adjournment was ordered till the 2nd of
August, with leave to the bankrupt to amend his accounts.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN S 3 LORD NIGEL KENNEDY,—JUDGMENT.
The application for order of discharge in this case, re-
cently heard, was opposed by Mr. E. Reed and Mr. R.
Griffiths, and supported by Mr. Bagley.
Hie Honour now gave judgment. He said—This
is an application by the bankrupt for his order of
discharge; and Mr. Reed, as counsel for the as-
gnees, Is instructed to oppose,
non behalf of
natty of the creditors . • and the Mimeos Edwards, creditors
for 5251. for rent, and 1801. for costs, make a separate
complaint by Mr. Griffiths, their counsel. The bankrupt
came of age about 1;45, and he never has had any meane
s
of cantina a livelihood, or any settled incom
derived from property of his own. His family
allowed him about 2001. a year until his
•mamage but his expenses exceeded that sum •
and his brother in the year 1856, gave him
5001. to pay his debts. In 1859 the bankrupt married
the daughter of a very wealthy lady, who appears, to have
acted very kindly towards him. On his marriage she gave
him the use of her house, Re., and besides paying several
of the tradesmen's bills, she allowed him 1.5001. a ',err. In
addition to this she paid off his debts to the amount
of 1,5001. The promise of this allowance was
only verbal. The bankrupt wished to obtain a bond or
security for it, but could not. The bankrupt did not live
vithin this allowance, but got considerably into debt :
and his mother-in-law, in 184i2, kindly gave a further sum
of 3,0001. to discharge the debts which he had incut:ed at
that time, but tl e amount was not sufficient to pay them,
and there are some still unpaid. In 1862 the bankrupt's
wife died, and his allowance was reduced to 800/. for one
ear. From that time till the date of the bankruptcy,the
allowance had been 1,0001. a year. This bad been given
him for the maintenance of his three children. The bank-
rupt, on being asked whether he had ever earned
anything in hie life, stated that he made about
6001. by some speculations in public companies,
in which he allowed his name to be used as
a director ; but it is at least doubtful whether, if a balance
of profit and lose were struck upon his dealings in shares,
any such gain would appear. During the whole of his
career the bankrupt has been incurring debts with
tradesmen of all kinds, for necessaries and for luxuries,
without any expectation of payment, except the bounty of
his wife's family; and knowing the extent to which he might
fairly expect such bounty, he has incurred debts to a con-
siderable amount which he knew he never could pay. His
attention must have been called to this, for, besides being
sued several times, he has for some time been obliged to
leave the country to get away from his creditors. There
is an individual complaint made against hint by the Mimes
Edwards, from whom he took an unfurnished house in
Langham-place on lease at a rental of 5211. a year ; but
though this serves as an illustration of the bankrupt's
extravagance there do not appear to be any special circum-
stances in the case to distinguish it from that of the other
creditors. The excuse of the allowance he received
cannot avail him. The Lord Chancellor, in a case
in which the bankrupt's excuse was that his
wife had settled property, said—" A man has no
right to rely on his wife's liberality for the pay-
ment of his debts, and if he contracted debts with no
more reasonable expectation of being able to Tay them,
be is guilty of an offence within the Bankrupt Law."
(" Exp. Gibson, re Patrick," 34, L.J.R. N.S. Bank-
ruptcy Appeals, p. 31.) The bankrupt must be
held to have incurred all his debts now due
to tradesmen which have been contracted since
1881, and which amount to more than 3,000/. with-
out any reasonable or probable grounds of expectation of
being able to jay them. The bankrupt admits that his
expenditure for the support of himself and family
for
two years before his bankruptcy was 2,000/. a
year ; and from this, as well as from what has
previously been stated, it is apparent that the
cause of his bankruptcy was his extravagance
in living. The court is, therefore, compelled to come to
the conclusion that the bankrupt has committed two
offences within the lreth section—that is to say, that all
his debts with tradesmen were incurred without any rea-
sonable expectation of payment, and his bankruptcy was
occasioned by unjustifiable extravagance in hvusg.
It was urged on behalf of the Misses Edwards,
that be had committed a third offence, by rash
and hazardous speculation; but I do not think the
evidence sufficient to es'ablish that. On the other hand,
it is right to state that no case of misrepresentation in
order to obtain credit has been proved, or, I believe, alleged
ao.tinst him ; and those who have trusted him appear to
have don! so on account of the station in society he occupied,
and the style in which he lived, and which the allowance he
received enabled him to maintain. This will no doubt en-
title the bankrupt to a less severe sentence than he would
otbarwise receive. It is also urged on his behalf that he
had the misfortune to be born under circumstances which
rendered it almost impossible for him to avoid getting into
debt. He was the possessorof a title, and tradesmen are often
desirous of getting such names upon their books ; yet he
had no property to keep up the station he occupied.
Giving as far as I can due weight to the arguments on both
aides, the order of the court will be that the bankrupt have
an order of discharge, subject to the following conditions:
—lst. That be do, on or before the 11th day of July in each
year, unless unavoidably prevented, and then as soon after
as possible, file an account verified on his oath of all
his receipts and payments up to the 30th June preceding.
2. That all his future property acquired by way of inheri-
tance be applied to the payment of all his debts in full. 3.
That after deducting 1001. a year for his own support, one-
half of all his future earnings be paid to the assignees, and
be applied in like manner in payment of his debts.
Mr. Bagley —Your Honour will give the bankrupt pro-

The prosecutor said—About ten weeks ago I had apart- S.

moving from Bruton-street, and in consequence of what I ;I:

I asked her if she was not ashamed to look me in the face st„.
after what she had done, and she said " No, I am not ; ps,
you gave me the things." I asked her what reason I had St.
for doing so, and she said, " You have had me on Si.

have the matter fully investigated. The dresses at,.
produced belonged to my deceased wle, as well as the St
shawl and handkerchiefs. There is not the slightest St.

foundation for the accusation made against me.
Prisoner—Ho is guilty. Have you not had me on the lii,

Prosecutor—l believe it is a plant against me. It is an lop

Prisoner—Mr. Franklin wished the housekeeper to S

Mrs. Mary Ann Menkins, the housekeeper at No. 13, to
Bruton-street, said—l bought the &emend shawl produced St.
of the prisoner for 21.1.05. She said she had no use for them. pt.
It was about six weeks ago. One of the other servants gave St.
me the handkerchiefs but she has since left. sh

Witness—One of the servants wrote to her about a situ-

that Mr. Franklin had taken liberties with her, and gave
her things to hold her tongue on two occasions.
In answer to questions the witness said—l believe she
told the other servants. She remembered seeing the
prisoner very confused on coming out of Mr. Franklin's
room, and shortly after saw her coming out of the room.
again. She beard the prisoner tell the prosecutor yesterday
that she could shame him wherever he went, as he had
taken liberties with her, and that he gave her the things.
By Mr. Lewis—l did not tell him of the dress. I said
nothing to the officer. I gave the prisoner a weeks wages

never spoke to her about it. I knew he was in his room on

James Aldridge, 300 A—When the prosecutor charged
the prisoner she said the prosecutor gave her the things,
and that he had taken liberties with her, and that she
could shame him in court.
Sergeant Dodsworth, 15 C—l took the charge,th ose and
the prisoner said, " This gentleman gave me
things, and he has locked his door and taken inde-
cent liberties with me in his room many times, and beellll64!
I am a country girl and have left my situation ho thin
thkse
he can get the things back. He gave me the things at
time he took liberties with me."
The prosecutor said—lt is false, and you know it.
Money is no object to me, and is it likely that I should
have given you the locket' with a portrait of my adopted
daughter, instead of paying you! I would not touch you.
Mr. Knox-1 shall remand the prisoner, and after what
has transpired I will take her own recognisance to attend.
I would advise her to place herself in the bands of a soli-
citor, so that on the next occasion the prosecutor may
undergo a searching cross-examination.

POOR LA
WWORKH OUE.-(THBIS DA Y.) INUIRY AT ETHNAL-GREEN

At 11 o'clock this forenoon, Mr. H. B. Farnst.
C. 8., opened an inquiry at the Bethnal-green Workhouseat,
relative to charges preferred against the master of th
house, Mr. Theobald Meyrick.
Mr. Montagu 'Williams represented Miss Laura Moss ;
Mr. Lewis, ben., defended Mr. Meyrick.
The Commissioner said that the guardians were aware of
the reason of his holding the inquiry. Mr. Meyrick was
accused of committing an assault on Miss Moss, and after-
wards, when the cue had been part heard by the magis-
trate, condoning it by a payment of money.
Miss Laura Moss was first sworn. She said—l am the
superintendent of the work done here by females,
and I have held that office six months. I remember the
17th May last. On the moaning of that day I asked
the master of this workhouse for an hour's leave of
absence. He refused twice. I sent an inmate to ask, and
waited at the door for an answer. She came out and told
me I could not have it. That was the first application,
and I sent the woman back to say that it was impel taut
that I should have this leave, anal that half an hour would
do. She came out anal told me that Mr. Meyrick could
not give leave of absence until the matron's return. The
matron was absent for a week's holiday, and she was
then
not
expected back until the following Monday, an d it was
Thursday. I then asked the guardians, some of whom
were then iu the house, tellins, them 1 wanted to cash a
Post-office order, and transact some private business.
One of them offered to cash the order, and they asked
the limiter if I could not go out ? Mr. Meyrick said
" No. I was always wanting to out. He could not allow
it." A guardian then said to the muter, " Could she not
send ?" and upon the master saying " Yes, she can,"
I supposed that I might send some one. I went into the
matron's store-room to write a pass for a messen;er ; I there
found Mrs. Hayden, who was doing duty there for the
matron in the latter's absence. She asked me what I was
doing, and when I told her " writing a pass" she said! s e
hould
not do that. I had often written passes before by thgene-
ral leave of the matron, and had w .itten one two days
Were in the matron's room, and I therefore continued
write the pass. Mrs. Haydon left the room and returned
with the master. The master, the moment he came into
the room, ordered me in a loud voice to leave the room,
saying, " Go out of the room, woman."
Me. Lewis said that if the witness to
uld speak as loud
as she screams it would be more easy to hear her evidence.
The Commissioner said that remarks of such a nature
were not necessary.
The witness continued—Mr. Meyrick seized me by the
arm while I was taking up any keys to go, and squeezed
me, pushed me out of the room, forcibly flanging me from
ral-
the door against the opposite wall. then
lied and asked for ray keys. But the moment he
grasped nay arms I screamed. After I recovered
from being forcibly ejected from the room, I called
