The bankrupt. were cabinet-makers sad upholsterer,, in a
large way of businees. in Eldon-street, Finsbury. The look-
ruptcy occurred in February lat. This wee the certifitate
meeting.
Mr. Maynard, the sceountant who had been employed by
the assignee. to examine the bankrupts' books and account.,
states ia hia report that the pertaeiehip commenced in
t%rust, 1654. when Seigeore had a capital of 9361., and
tan of 1,6361. Since that period they bad dealt in accom-
, modation bills to the extest of 39,378/. Their practice was
to get parties to accept In bleak, and they afterwerds filled
up the acceptances with each amounts es they desired. At
the date of the bankruptcy they owed on them bill.

3,631,.; total, t 2,0731. There wen also liabilities of
6,5461. on merman' bills, which it was expected would to
seedy alld by the scosptors. The teltreated masts were
14.8421. (T paihere have been two dividends oa the joint estate,
amounting to about 6.. 6d, in the pound.) The total •th.,1112t

3.0651. had brat paid. [Their moats had been 16,2221.

Mr. Bagley opposed far the amigneas and for Mr. Moors, a
large creditor. The main charge agamat the benkrupts was
that they had, daring nearly the whole of their
carried oa • ',stem of treffleking in fictitious tillikP,tetailble42ll
not represent any real trade traimmtiow, and had keipt, bed
books. la 1855 they had cirealated asoommodation bilk to
the amount of 8,7421. ; and la the following year they bad
thrown upon the market no is than 29,3531. of such bilk.
Bonn of the names on the bills were altogether fictitious, sad
others wore wrongly described. A vary large amount had
teen accepted by one Taylor, who turned out to be • work-
man in the employ of the bankrupts.
The bankrupt, Rare, was waretned. He deposed—The

meted by those bills. One of the acceptors lea poor nun, •

Richardson, who had been attracted to apply to him for en

deeeribed himself as • "clergyman about to proceed with his

living by metimieing tradesmen, but had taken ore not to
render himself lisblo to criminal proceedings. This, how-
ever, was sufficient to justify the revocation of his
and the Roue of the warrant foe his appredenaka. The con-
stables invested with the warrant (Omer, 64 17, sad Mason,
25 8) Bret sought him at a villa at Holloway, whirs Br-
had been for some time rending, but found that beVim suddenly disappeared, ea the tradesmen with whom be
had run in debt were beginning to open their eyes to his true
chestier, and were rooming troublesome. He bad left In
pearrilon his son and daughter, who, of course, retired to
give savors to his whereabouts. The officers then resorted
to the Mowing ruse. They sent to the house one of
the lads of the Electric 'Telegraph Company, in his
uniform. The messenger pretended that he had •
telegraphic duelist& for the Rev. Dr. Betrrington,
which mast be delivered at once, and into his
own hands. So earnestly did he preen the matter, that
the priminer'fi eon was at bat induced to take the boy to

covered the prisoner's retreat, in Mabledun-terrace, Burton•

bottle of gin by his side. A woman was in the room, in her
night-draw. She expressed herself mio.h ellocked at the in-

On the question being put by the magistrate whether the
prisoner had anything to say why he should not be re-

did set forth the several grounds on which it might be re-

granted. At all *verde he (Mr. Hell) could not entertein
any question ma to the grounds of recommitment, as he had
but one duty to perform, and no option. The prisoner must
be committed for the remainder of his term.

LORI) CECIL GOBOON'S INSOLVENCY.

At the Taunton County Court, on Monday, the
Hon. Cecil Jame. Gordon, commonly called lard Cecil
Gordon, whose former petition for hearing was dimimei on
September 7, on a legal technicality, sad who had remained
in prieNerse heard on another petition. His lordship was
dea number of creditors resident at Bath. The
derit the echedule were 2,6391., and the insolvency wee
attributed to the non-payment of about 2,0001., sa rent to
Lady Gordon, from some property in Ireland, to the diminu-
tion of gifts from Mende, and to having a family of nine to
nipport and educate.
It appeared trots the insolvent's statement that he had lived
some years at Brussels, and previously at Mooreefort, fa
Ireland. He left Brussels owing about 3001., and admitted
that before he left he bad not the mesas of
paying. He was arrested at Bath, and his friends
peal the money. His agent, Mr. Coady, gave him
• list of the debts. In 1861 be went to Scotland, and from
that period be had bad no property of his own. He married
in 1841 Mies Moms, of Mooeedart, and he lived for some years
with his father-la-law, who made him an allowance. His
Whet-in-law died in 1849, without • will, and his property
was shared. He believed that his wife should have received
about 2,0001., as stated in the schedule. Hie wife bad
6,0004 under her father's settlement and had re-
mind about 2,3001. His wife left England at the
sod of July but, and was now residing at Paris.
It. bad not determined on taking the benefit of the
act whoa his wife left England. His wife took no jewellery
with her, and bar departure was, as he know his creditors
would come down on him, to avoid his wlio end his children
cooing him disgraced. He was first arrested on the 16th
July, at the Baguet Court, in Bath, and he went to Mr.
HaU, a solicitor, who went into a room with the came, and
he was soon afterwards liberated. He went to prism on the
fat August, and had since remained in continement. He bad
disposed of some articles of clothes, &c. His debts were
upwards of 2,0001., and he had no property.
Thy opposition to his lordship's discharge wen on several
groonde—contracting debts without removable expectation
of payment, obtaining forbearance, and diepoeing of pro-
Pon.
Aty the conclusion of the examination the Judge declared
Lord Gordon entitled to the benefit of the act, and ordered
him to be discharged forthwith.
