COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Baryon tila.Cosysiesiosat Gortnuan.
Ix au Onnux.
The bankrupt, Wchard Greta, was an ironmonger, in a
Imp way of busine.a, at Brighton Tbis was an adjourned
meeting for the last examinaii in. The balance-sheet
extending fttm the Ist of January, 1848, to the
14th of February last, tor Mined the following items:
—To creditors, ups, cured, 6,1471.; due to Palmsr.
Green, and Co., 3,1961. ; to creditors hiding security,
13,3031. • profits, 2,4741 • liabilities, 4,4851. By property,
6511. ; do. held by creditors, 10.6181. ; expenses, 4,3271. ;
liabilities, 4,4851 ; &Grieco, at this commeammeut of the
account, 6,3681.

Mr. Lucas, for the assignee", said the bankrupt's exami-
nation had been adjourned that he might furnish some
explanation of the luge deficiency of 6,369/. lie
had since filed additional accounts, *kb which the at-
m:nem were satisfied, end did not wish to offer further ot -
position to his pssiing. The report of the official
assignee stated that the balance-sheet, as amended, ear-
ned back the account to July, 1842. when the bankrupt
was insolvent to the treat of 1,1391. Since that time,
he had obtained money on bills end,raed by Palmer, Green,
and Co., to the antou,t of abase 3,0001, which was so much
fictitious capital.
The bankrupt was then allswcd to pas his last examina-
tion.

Mr. Lawrence, for the bas.krapt, applied fora contiananee
of the allowance.

His Honour said he did not think this a can in which the
bankeupt was entitled to any favour at the hands of the
credit n. He had begun with a deficii ney of upwards of
6,0001. ; had kept up a delusion for a long time. having in
reality no capital; and now, when he sought to wriest,
himself from difficulties which be had brought upon himself,
he could not expect much nen:ince from the creditors. He
would only allow his .:ruses to and from Brighton, and an
allowance up to the first meeting.
Mr. Lucas mid there were debts and liabilities to the
amount of 12,0001., and the dividend would not be more
then Gd. or lid. in the pound. What rendered the case more
di.treming was that the bankrupt had borrowed to the extent
of 3371. from femalie, who were wholly unable to bear the
lote, and whose confidence he had needy abused.
The court then went into the consideration of tome dis-
puted proofs.
