THE CASE OF MR. L. T. GASKILL,
LATE MESSENGER OP VIE BANKRUPTCY COURT.
SEVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken
his case into consideration, and b's3lieving as they do,
thatit is one of great hardship, have /NSTI I UTED A SUBSCRIP-
TION on behalf of himself and family. Mr. Gaskill was summarily
dismissed on the 28th of last March, since which time he has not
beet, in the receipt of one shilling,haying been solely dependent
the contributions of a few friends. Mr. Gaskill had held his

situation for f

o complaint having ever been Urged
against /kith further than having been forced into a prison for twenty-
one days, through being security for one of the Manchester official
assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is no doubt, has been most cruelly
treated, as the following extract from one of his letthrs to the Liver-
po, 1 Journal will tend to show :

With reference to my insolvency, t can point to three registrars of
Bankruptcy Courts in this county who have taken the Lenefit of the
Insolvent Acts, and yet retained their situations. One messenger
in this county was suspended for twelve months from his office, took
the benefit of the Act, which involved a remend of four months to
Lancaster Castle, and still now holds bis appointment. I was dis-
charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms

of judges, there was some talk about the judges of the
Bankruptcy Court, and it was, that a curious case, is likely to be
lobtruded speedily, on the public; that Mr. Gaskill was recently
dismissed from the office of messenger to the Liverpool Bankruptcy
Court; that he was wrongfully dismissed and his office wrongfully
given, to another ;, that he has made a statement of his case, and that
tie Lord Chancellbr—has. it now under consideration; that Mr.
Gaskill has been harshly used ; that it is true he is one o' 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,
