THE CASE OF MR. L. T. GASKILL,
LATE MESSENGER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT

SEVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken
his case into consideration, and believing as they do,
that it is one of great hardship, have INSTITUTED A SUBSCRIP-
TION on behalf of himself and family. Mr. Gaskill was summarily
dismissed 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. Mr. Gaskill had held his
situation for fourteen yeers, no complaint having ever been urged
against him further ti- an having been forced into a 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 Liver-
ponl Journal will tend to show

With retcrence 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 their si,uations. 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 lis 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 enquiry may be instituted into his case :
rom the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby :
London. August 9, 1856.
Sir,—l have seat your later 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 re vans, Haartownv.

T. Gaskill,
From the Rt. Hon. Spring Rice, Sec. to the Lord Chancellor :-
40, Upper Brooke-sheet, August 16, 1856.

Sir,— I have to ackowledge the receipt of your letter of the 7th
inst., and its enclosure, which I will tying before the I ord Chan-
cellor. I may add, however, that his lordship has al eady given much
consideration to your case.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

From "Valk on 'Change," Liverpool Journal, August 23. 1856.
Tall ing 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; th.t he was wrongfully dismissed and his office wrongfully

given to another ; that helms ;mole a statement of his case. and that
tie Lord Chancellor has it now under consideration; that Mr.
Gaskili 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 cfficial assignee
ran away, and that Mr. Gaskill was called on to pay; that 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 was the only
alter native; 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.
the only one who has lost his place by a visit to Lancaster

The enormous shipments of Tea from China to this country,
during the present season, have far exceeded the imports of any
previous year; the effect has been material y to depress prices, and
thus extraordinary facilities are afforded for purchasing Teas of
prime qurlity, at rates which, a few months ago, would have been
deemed fabulous. In the better class of Black Teas the turn in
favour of the buyer is equal to 25 per cent. The system adopted at
this Office secures to consumers the full advantages of this large
reduction. Tea is always cold at the short or Bond price, and no
profit 'whatever is charged upon the duty, which is Is. 9d. per lb.
on every description.
It is scarcely necessary to go hi,ther than ls. 6d. per lb.

and further to enhance the p.eas,n es of the Tea Table, will enjoy
