THE CASE OF D,IR

T. GASICILL,

LATE MESSENGER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.
SEVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having takefl
his case into consideration,„and believing as they doi
that it is one of great hardship, have INSTITUTED A SUBSCRIP.
TION arrhehalf of himself and family. Mr. was summarily
dismissed on the 28th of last March, since which time he has not
been in the receipt of one shilling. having been solely dependent
upon the contributions of a few friends. Mr. Gaskill had held his
situation for fourteen yeers, no complaint having ever been, urged
against him further than having been forced into a prison for twenty.. one days, through being security for cne ofthe Manchester official
assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is no doubt, has been most cruelly
treated, as the following extract from on.; of his letters to the Liver.
po' 1 Journal will tend to shuw

With reference to my insolvency, I can point to three registrars of
Banktuptcy Courts in tiPs county who have taken the benefit,or the
Insolvent Acts, end yet retained their sPuations. One messenger
in this county was suspended for twelve months from his office, took
the benefit of the Act, which involved a remand of four months to
Lancaster Cantle, and still now holds his appointn►ent: I was dis-
charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms
had been complied nth, which occupied five minutes
Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters. by which he hopes
that au enquiry may be instituted into his case:—

cellor. I may add, however, that his lordlhip has alresdy given vouch

From "Talk on 'Change," Liverpool Journal, August 23; 18t6.
Talking of judges, there was some talk about the judges of the
Bankruptcy Court, and It was, that a curious case is likely to be
obtruded speedily on the public; that Ur. Gaskill was. recently
disrcissed from the office of messenger to. the Liverpool Bankruptcy
Court; Ih3l he was wrongfully dismissed and his office wrongfully
given to another ; that he has made a statement of his case, and that
tre Lord Chancellor has it now under consideration; that Mr.
CRAW has been harshly used ; that it is true he is one of the best-
natured men living ; that, in a strange disregard of prudence, he
went security for an official assignee; that the official assignee
ran away, and that Mr. Gaskill was called on to pay; that he did
pay a part; that he offered to pay the remainder in time, but that
the parties would not wait, and that the Insolvent Court was the only
alternative; that, during the necessary process of twenty.one days,
Mr. Commissioner Stevenson caused him to be dismissed, but that,
although dozens of Bankruptcy officials bare been insolvents, Mr.
Gaskill is the only one who has lost his place by a visit to Laneaster
Castle.

Subscriptions on behalf of Mr. Gaskill and family will be received
at the Liverpool Journal Office, by Mr. W. Pearson, Times Office.
