ME CASE OF MR. L. T. GASKILL,

LATE MESSENOER OP THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.
EVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken
10 his case into consideration, and believing as they do,
that it is one of great hardsh'p, have INSTIiUTED A SUBSCRIP-
TION on behalf of himself an t family. Mr. Gaskill was summarily
d smissed 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. Air. Gaskill had held his
situation for fourteen years, no complaint having ever been urged
against him further Clan having been forced into...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 letters to the Liner-
pord Journal will tend to show:—

_ .
With reference to my insolvency, I can point to three registrars of
Bankruptcy Courts In this county who have taken the benefit of the
Insolvent Acts, and yet retained th-ir situations. 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 Castle, and still now holds his appointment. I was dis-
charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms
had been complied with, which occupied five minutes !
Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters, by which he hopes
that an enaniry may be instituted into his case :
From the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby :
London, August 9, 1856.
Sir,—l have sent your litter to the Lord Chancellor, and called
his attention to its con ents, which seem to furnish matter for inves-
tigation.—l am, sir, your obedient servant. HARROWBY.
L. T. Gaskill. Esq.
From the Rt. Hon. Spring Rice, Sec. to the Lord Chancellor :-
40. Upper Brooke-street, August 16, 1856.
Sir,—l have to ackowledge the receipt of your letter of tiv 7th
inst., and its enclosure, which I will b,ing before thy, Lord Chan-
cellor. I may add, however, that his lordship has al'eady given much
consideration to your case.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

The envelope was marked " Cranworth."

From " Tal.k on 'Change," Liverpool Journal, August 23, 1856.
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 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
tae Lord Chancellor 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; th ,t 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 true 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 have been insolvents, Mr.
Gaskill is the only one who has lost kis place by a visit to Laneast,,r
Castle.
