The bankrupt wastspristor of the " Wellington," in Eit.

Oboe today, when Mr. meter of the bow at Masan.
Allaopp and Sons, and Mr. 116=Abekuuk-laas, were
appointed assignees. Mews. and Hackwood are
th solicitors.
The bankrupt, who was examined by Mr. Link-
kter at conaiderable length, stated that ha was hank-
rapt in August, 1558, bet amid not remember how
mach he then owed. A. nearly mhe could remember
it was about 20,0001. to um wand ,editors. He paid
no dividend under that bankruptcy. At presest

the " Walliagine bed been detrained for by his mother for
rent two at three &aye before his bankruptcy. He did not
request her to pat be the &Mem He believed, bat was
not sure, that he emnummdeated with her solicitor apes the
,abject before the tikkess was pot M. He saw Mr. Carr
shortly before be was made bankrupt, but did not request
him to beoorne the petitioning creditor. He had four or
five notices hips different parties to whom he owed money,
so that he knew his poem was not eats. Knowing these
things, be believed Mr. Hodpes spoke to Mr. Cam
upon the subject, who he believed tante there to
make him bankrupt. He bad been served with
six or eight • writs in the present yew. He
might have been served with writs as early as March or
April, but could not take his oath on. way or the other. He
dad not believe hinieelf to have been insolvent seta early in
July. He knew he owed more than he could pay at any
moment, but he considered he was justified in endeavouring
to relieve his position. On the 4th of July he dishonoured
an acceptance of Mr. Miles, and he purchased from other
persons goods in that month which are now unpaid for.
He had no doubt those grab were taken poseession of
by his mother under the diabase for rent. He now owed
13,350/., 5,0001. of which was represented by old debts.
He had next to no property to meet them. His mother was
the landlady of the premises he occupied on his last bank-
ruptcy. He thought, but was not sure, that at that time
dm
took all there was for rent. He afterwards carried on
the business at the tame premises, and with the same
furniture, upon which there was • distress for rent, or •
portion of it. The ledger produced was his, and wee
by Mr. Price, • clerk in his employ. At folios 201 and
is that ledger, the word rent" struck through in ink
was a mistake. The word was struck out about • fortnight
ago—he thought since his bankruptcy, and by his direc-
tion. The books remained in the Mike until yesterday. Of the
entry to the credit of Mrs. Crockfcsd, 1,2001. and odd,
MO/. was for rent, and there was no payment road it.
That entry was made at the same time, and since his bank-
ruptcy. He had never called attention to the miry before
that day. He never saw the entries in that book Were his
bankruptcy. He believed they were made by Mr. Prins
from time to time as the dates appear. He had amass to
it from time to time. His mother advanced him 1,5241. to
enter the Wellington. The entries of that advance
at the commencement of the day-book were made
• .

a fortnight ego by his explanation. Space was
left for them. He gave that esplanades, because he
fancied a question of the claim 1,0001. would be raised. It
was done for the purpom of assisting his mottled& claim.
The whole amount of the 1,9001, was owing for rent. The
payments at the folio numbered 201 were not made on
account of rent ; they were made on account of the 1,5301.
which his mother lent him. Receipts were taken and signed
from Mrs. Crockforti for those peymentaand which heibelieved
were among his papers at the official assignees". He did not
give them to his clerk from time to time for the of
having the account made up. He kept them locplocked in •
private desk. He was living with his mother during the
present
is year. He could not tell the exact day when the
was put in, but he expected it. The business was

T. Kennedy,-of 23, Cherry Tree-court, Cloewellsitreet,
was charged with imposing on Richard Tyne, a enb-driver,
and obtaining from him 2s.
It appearred that the prisoner offered to sell stone cigars
to the cabman, who bought three bundles of ten each for
2s. When he came to light them, however, they turned
out to be made of brown paper. The complainant after-
wards met the prisoner and gave him into custody.
A policeoonstable produced • quantity of mock cigars
and cheroots, well imitated to resemble choice Hnvannahs,

The prisoner, in defence, said they were manufactured for

Mr. Tyrwbitt said the laws affecting cases of fraud were
very nicely defined. It was clear the defendant hail met
with a greenhorn, and practised on him. He would remand
the case, and in the interim would examine into the law on
