Au important and protracted use was decided in
the Dublin Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday. Mr. J. Y.
Coots, a tea dealer in Bellut, became a bankrupt. Every-
thing in the accounts was satisfactorily explained but aa
item of 1,3901., which he alleged was stolen from him on •
journey between Dublin and London. It appeared in evi-

was made previously, either by the bankrupt to • friend
assail Armstrong, or by Armstrong to him. As, however,
there was no proof of the loss but the evidence of the
bankrupt himself, Judge Lynch declined to admit the fact
without • better voucher, and consequently refused to peso
the final examination.
