Mr. Henry Bigoell, of Jerrnyn-street, Bt. JAVIER'S, licensed
victualler, end from the preliminary statement famished to
the °Medal amigos' by Mr. Lees, trona Mr. Maynard's, it
appears that toe bankrupt's unsecured debts are 9001., and
creditors holding security about 8001. The assets consist of
stock in trade, 1001., and a sum of 106/., which the bankrupt
claims to be dot from the Rev lamas Hamilton, in respect
of a contract which he had taken to build four model cottages
for the rev. gentlemen at Paddington, for 6911. This debt,
however, the rev. gentleman repudiates, on the ground that
as the contract was not completed he is not liable. The re-
sult of the controversy may, therefore, prove somewhat ss.-
poustwo to the creditors.
