IN RE STRAHAN, PAUL, AND CO.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, BASINGEIALL-STREET,

JUNE 25.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

This was a meeting for the proof of debts and choice
of assignees in the bankruptcy of William Strahan, Sir
John Dean Paul, Bart., and Robert Makin Bates, who
had carried on business as bankers at 217, Strand, and
also the business of navy agents, at 41, Norfolk-street,
Strand, under the style of Halford and Co. The petition
was filed on the 11th of June. The petitioning creditor
is Montague John Tatham, proctor, of 26, Great Carter-
lane, who is a creditor for 1,5941. in respect of the balance
of an account of moneys had and received by the bank-
rupts as bankers, in respect of which no security or sa-
tisfaction had been given.

The public are aware that criminal proceedings are
pending against these bankrupts under the 7th and Bth
of George IV., sec. 49, by which any person convicted
of unlawfully disposing of securities is liable to be trans-
ported beyond the seas for any term not exceeding 14
nor less than 7 years, or to be imprisoned for any term
not exceeding 3 years.
The case caused intense interest, and the court was
crowded to excess.

The proceedingslwere commenced by Mr. Lawrance,
the solicitor to the petition, who stated that for the sake
of convenience sundry proof.; of debt had been taken out
of court'and pasAed by the official assignee.
His Honour then directed that the names of the re-
spective creditors who had thus proved their debts out of
court should now be read aloud in open court, so that it
might be ascertained if there were any opposition to
them.

Mr. Lawranee said that, in order to mitigate the pres-
sure in this court, which was extreme, the registrar (Mr.
Abrahall) was taking proofs in another court.
Mr. Ballantine appeared for Mr. Strahan and Sir J.
Dean Paul ; Mr. Parry for Mr. Bates ; Mr. Chidley for
the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Galway, and other
creditors, the aggregate in amount being about 250,0001.,
and Mr. Linklater for Sir Lucius Curtis and other cre-
ditors; and Mr. Cooper for several noblemen.

Mr. Lawrance said, as a great many of the creditors
were present, it might be satisfactory to them to have
the figures, which were an approximation at least to the
correct sums, so far as he had been able to ascertain
them.

The following statement was then handed in by Mr.
Lawrance :

Mr. Dalian tine said the three bankrupts were prepared
to swear to this.

His Honour—Are there any more proofs ? If so, let
them be disposed of first.

Mr. Lawrance said the following were prepared to act
as trA, a,ssig►neos :—Mr. Earvvis, navy agent, New Boa-
weli-o ,urt ; Mr. Charles Appleyard, solicitor, of Lin-
coln's-inn ; and Mr. Edmund Waller, stationer, Fleet-
street.

These gentlemen were sub3equently appointed. No
other creditors were proposed in opposition to them. •
Mr. Lawrance observed that the object they had in
view, having regard to the vast number of creditor,,
and the indisposition of many of them to come into
court, was to affrrd them all the facility in their power,
and accordingly an adver:;isement was put into the
papers informing the creditors that they might have
their proofs prepared at his office if they chose, and many
of them had taken advantage of that offer.
His Honour—That is only the usual course.
14r. Lawrance—Powers of attorney were also for-
warded to each creditor living in the country. The
result was that some powers of attorney bad been for-
warded to them, but a great many noblemen and gen-
tlemen had authorised their own solicitors to vote for
them. The charge of employing an itinerant commis-
sioner was simply untrue.
Mr. Parry renewed his application to Mr. Pates to be
examined, stating that his client was anxious to disclose
everything he knew as to those transactions.
