August, and no part of those goods hes been paid for.
That was the first transaction I ever had with the bankrupt.
Cross-examioed by Mr. Beard—l told him our lanai terms,
and he appeared to require longer time than we allowed, but
I said it be meant well 1 had no doubt our firm would assist
him to the utmost of their power. I might bare said that

firm would be more liberal as to time.

for two or three weeks, and thou retuned to his germs
again as shopman. I continued with him is that capacity
until his bankruptcy. When I went back I found • great
deal of the stock I had ticketed had d' . I found
every gold watch was gone and all the go chains, except
one. I also missed three of the meat valuable of the gem

rupt at his place of business on the 21st of September last,
