Wi.l) regard to the class of this certificate, r do not
think, under the circumstances of the case, that I can

unavoidable, but that they are certainly partly so, and
therefore the c,rtifieate must be of the second-class. I
think it proper to observe , that at first it appeared that
the order given by the bankrupt by letter, dated the
23rd of June, directing Me.Fsrs. Lowndes and Co., to
give up to Mr. Lee certain mortgage deeds from Mr.
Luzmore in favour of the bankrupt, might be deemed
. _ .

another preference, which, on account of its very recent
date, would have been a very serious objection. But the
bankrupt positively denies that the order was given for
the purpose of securing to Mr. Lee the debt then owing
to him, bnt only for the purpose of forming a security
for any money he might afterwards advance. That being
the case, whatever different view may have been taken
by Mr. Lee, as to the effect of this order and the deposit
of the deeds, 1 cannot regard it as an inten itional pre-
ference by thel3ankrupt, Some remarks have been made in
the course of the discussion on this certificate in respect of
the rough balance sheet made by the bankrupt in April
last, imputing blame to him by reason of his not having
mentioned in such balance sheet his private liabilities,
the cause of which the bankrupt explains to have been
on account of his considering that these private liabili-
ties did not apply to the Kent street property, the object
being only to show the state of affiirs relaying to that
property. It is, I think, right that I should observe,
that it does not occur to me that 'any blame can
be fairly imputed to him on this account, as it
was made out only for Mr. Lee's inspection, who
seems to have been aware of these private liabi.
lities ; and this balance sheet does not appear to
have been made use of for any purpose of deception.
The examination of Mr. John Yate Lee was then
resumed. Mr. Brett, instructed by Mr. Dodge and Mr.
E. Banner, appeared for the assignees, and Mr.
John Yates, junior, for Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee examined
by Mr. Brett : I recollect receiving from the bankrupt
an agreement, which bears date the 27th May,
1856. It was stamped after it was written. I
heard from the bankrupt at the time the agreement
was signed, that he had pledged his stock of oil in Kent
street with Messrs. Balinain and Hill, for somewhere
about £2,000. The bankrupt several times gave me an
account of what stock and property he had, and men-
tioned the liabilities to which it was subjected. I recollect
Mr. Kennedy valuing the machinery in Kent street on
behalf of Mr. Smith. I heard that he valued it within
£lOO or £2OO of £4,000. It was stated to me that it
did not include the good will. At the time of the pro.
position made on the bankrupt's behalf to Mr. Smith,
the machinery and good will together were put down at
the price the bankrupt paid for them, namely. £5,500.
The bankrupt, his brother, and myself, had several
negociations with Mr. Smith as to his becoming the pur-
chaser of the property. The negociation resulted
in an agreement, dated the 21st June, 1856, and it was
afterwards carried out by a deed of assignment to Mr,
Smith. I received, in respect of that assignment, from
Mr. Smith's father, a promissory note for £l.OOO, dated
the 12th July, 18.56, payable six months after date, and
another, for the same amount, of the same date, payable
in 12 months, and a cheque for about £260, which I
realised. I negotiated one of the hills to Mr. Lace, on
his paying me £550 ; the other I have not negotiated,
To Mr. John Yates: The advance made by me to the
bankrupt, in the month of Amil last, was on the under-
standing that it, or the greater portion of it, should be
repaid in a week or two. That was the representation
made to Inc by the bankrupt, when he was urging me
for the loan, and subsequently. The agreement, of the
27th May, 1856, was given to me in consequence of
repeated application for payment, during the month of
May, of my last loan of £2,000, and no payment being
made.
_This closed the examination.

RE EDWARD LANE.—This bankrupt, late a merchant,
carrying on business in Liverpool, came up on an appli-
cation for his certificate. Mr. Lowndes opposed, on
behalf of the assignees; and Mr. Lace appeared for the
bankrupt. His Honor deferredjudgment until Monday.

G-,on NEWS FOR WRITERS.—A very ingenious imple-
ment, called Hancock's Safety Inkstand, has recently
been brought under our notice, and, such is our experience
of its value, that we strongly recommend a trial of it to
all who are troubled with the sediments and coagulations
to which ordinary inkstands are subject. The construction
of Mr. Hancock's production is extremely simple, but sa
efficacious that it enables a man to supply himself with a
stock of ink

PRUDENCE.—How much regret, pain, and evil may be
avoided by timely forethought ! If it he desirable to
,se timl and money, is it not still of greater impor-
to look to your health ? During this inclement
,eason we strongly advise the use of the Aromatic Spice
Masters on the chest. Coughs, colds, astlamas, shortness
of breath, pain or tightness of the chest, affections of the
lungs, &c., are effectually relieved, and in many cases
entirely prevented, by the timely application of these
invaluableroad,scc
plasters to the chest, which are far superior to the
