LAW INTELLIGIENOII.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nov. 6.
(Before Yr. Consiesioser Koiroyd.)
111 11J1 WILLUZ IMT.

The bankrupt, deecribed sea lithows and publisher,
of Cockeyur-irtreet, and of U gM rk Meryl.-
bons, asked to pass his essainatioa, and for an order of
diectarge. His amounts &Alma fetal liability of 17,9001.,
of which 17,0834 is due to unsecured creditors , liabilities
on accommodatka bills 2001. The assets eonsiet ofd!,.=
17surrendered, 3,9761.; good and doubtful
61. ; and property held by creditors, MU
Mr. Reed (instructed by Hr. IL Abrahams) opposed on
behalf of the amignees ; the bankrupt was represented
by Lawrence.
No objection being made to the accounts, the bankrupt
pasted hisialleilatios, and the question of discharge ants
then onaddered. The court was asked for an adverse judg-
-111 ent erne three grounds-1. That the bankrupt had con-
tracted debts without reasonable or probable means or
expectalien of paying the same ' • 2. That he had engaged
in rads and harardossqieenlations ; 3. That he had been
guilty of unjuptifabie extravagance in living.
The bankrupt, on being examined, stated that he was
formerly • seembse of Ike firm of Day and floe, of Lin-
eoln*a4nn.llelds. In 1865 he sold the business of Day and
Son to a limited eompany, and received as the price about
10,0001. in money and 711,0061. in shares. For some new
afterwards he acted as director of the company. In
Septi. whir, 1866, he executed a deed of assignment for the
benefit of Creditors, his debts then amounting to 80,00. W.,
of which 10,1001. &MO out of his beam with the
eompsoy. He underatood that nothing had yet been
mined by the trustees under the deed. In September,
1867, he took premise* in Upper Ogle-street, at a yearly
rental of 3601., and he advertised for subscriptions for a
new publication, to be called the " Lithographic Journal."
lie received more than 7,0004. in inbscriptions for the
" Lithographic Journal," and for an issue of cartoons of
Raphael. From a French merchant he obtained four
steam penes of the value of 1,0001., but he had been
unable to pay for them. Had also obtained a steam
engine worth Beol. !rem Mews. Gardiner, but had made
no psyreent on account of it. He had been sued by
several creditors.- _ _ _ _

Yr. Reed naked the bankrupt why he did not stop pay-
ment at the tine P

The bankrupt said that by the profit, to be derived from
the cartoon which were very nearly complete, he had
hoped to disc his liabilities.
In nply to r. Lawrence, the bankrupt said that for
26 yews he was a member of the firm of Day and Son.
That MID had attained a very high reputations both in
this country and abroad , his two brothers were interested
with him in it. He sold the plant, dock, and goodwill of
the business to the comps ny, and also guaranteed a divi-
dend of 10 per cent., the company retaining 30,0001. of
shame to cover the contingency as to the profits. Por a
time 10 per cent. was paid, and as that was done an
equivalent amount of shares ware released. The company
bad unfortunately been wound up, or there would have
been enough to pay the trade debts. In starting the
new publications he relied upon his knowledge and expe-
rience during ',number of years, and betieved that he would
make a profit of about 1,0001. • year. He still considered
that but for the pressure of creffitors and want of capital
he would have realised that income, but hie hopes were
dispelled by the premature breaking up of the company.
Had received the names of 6,000 subeeribers. It was his
intention to produce for • few shillings that which had
previously cost as many sovereigns. The creditors were
informed, through the usual channels of information, of he
former difficulties. Had a family of 11 children depen-
dent upon him for support.
Mr. Commissioner Holroyd said that although the cre-
ditors might complain of the bankrupt's conduct, it was
impossible to say that he bad committed any statutory
oftener. The consignment of September, 1006, was pub-
lished to the world, and it did not appear that the credi-
tors had made any inquiry or that the bankrupt was
guilty of any misrepresentation. He regretted that
through the unfortunate result of the trading the bank-
rupt bad been brought into his present position.
The order of discharge was accordingly granted.
