AN ENGLISH BANKRUPT AVAILING HIMSELF

Under the head Inverary, we find the following in the

SLEXANDR. GOPSELL POOLEY

We 'consider the follewing Case, Which has beeri cem-
nunicated to us on respeetable authority, is *ell worthy
for we cannot but regard otherwise
than with extreme suspicion the appearance of English
bankrupts in remote districts of- Scotlattl—where they

are quite out of view of their creditors—for the purpose
of taking advantage of the facilities afforded by the
Scotch-bankruptcy system :

This is a sequestration running on all-fours with the
notorious Toberinory case, and will now be known and

The bankrupt, who was

?" chemist, residino.. in Lon-

don, slipped down to Argyllshire, where he-remained

for the time prescribed to qualify himself for a white-
washing in the Scotch Bankruptcy Courts. Sequestra-
tion was awarded by the Lord Ordinary officiating on
the bills' on the 19th inst., and the statutory notice
appeared in the Edinburgh Gazette of the same date.
The London Gazette was not published until the Tues-
day following, the 23rd inst., when the creditors—all
English—were apprised of the fact that a meeting was
to take place within the George Hotel, Inverary, on
the 26th inst., just three days thereafter, to elect a
trustee, and discharge the other duties pointed out by
the act.
