LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE FRASTON.

This bankrupt was a solicitor in Coleman-street and Kil-
burn, and this was an adjourned meeting for last examina•
tion and discharge.
Mr E, Reed for the bankrupt asked for an adjournment,
as the bankrupt had not been in a position to make out
his accounts, which were of an intricate character, as a
great deal depended on bills of costs. He therefore asked
for an adjournment over the vacation—that was till Nov.
Mr Sargood, for the assignee, opposed. He said it was
not quite correct in putting the case so simply before the
court, and so far from the bankrupt being entitled to a long
adjournment, with protection, he Oh Sargood) was en-
titled to ask for an adjournment, sine die, without protec-
tion. The bankrupt was a solicitor, and in that capacity
had received large sums of money on account of
his clients, which ho had misappropriated; and on
being arrested by one of the creditors, he came
befo*e this court, in forma pauperis, and had not filed
even a list of his creditors and debtors. As to the latter
the creditors cared very little; they wished to know what
he had done with the moneys he had received on behalf of

his clients. This was one of those cases in which a bank

rapt might get out of prison and keep his creditors at arms-
length by refusing to file his accounts, and under the pre-
sent wretched system in bankruptcy, which ho hoped soon
to see altered, the Court had no power to compel him. He
did not speak of this as an individual or exceptional case.
He (Mr Sargood) would ask for an adjournment for a month,
and the assignees would furnish requisitions, which would
be for him to account for the sums he had received from his
clients, and if he did not furnish accounts here, the matter
must be taken to some other court.

After some discussion, the adjournment was taken as
proposed by Mr Sargood.
The bankrupt applied for the assistance of an accountant.
Mr Sargood opposed, as there was not a farthing of
assets.

His Honour rt fused the application.
(Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE CIIAS. MARNN.

This bankrupt was described as of Barnard's Inn, " no
profession or business," but he had been a woollen merchant
at Manchester. The debts to unsecured creditors amount
to £9,267; to ditto holding security, £33,650; and the pro-
perty in the hands of creditors amounts to £42,950.

Mr Langford, for the assignees, said they were realising
the property, and did not see the advantage of any ad-
journment.
His Honour asked how the debts were contracted ?

Mr Langford said they had not been incurred recently,
but extended over a period of 20 years, and the debts were
principally on mortgages of property at Leamington and
Manchester.

The Solicitor to the bankrupt said there could be no
doubt that the unsecured creditors would be paid in full.
The bankrupt thereupon passed and obtained his order
of discharge.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd )
IN RE Z. W. RAY.

This bankrupt was a builder of Notting.hill, formerly of
Windsor. The debts were stated at £5,216, of which
£5,149 is in respect of secured creditors.

The bankrupt obtained his order of discharge without

opposition.

IN RE THE ANGLO• PRENCH AGRICULTURAL tRADING

COMPANY.

His Honour gave judgment in respect of a claim by Mr.
John Muller for £l,lOO, for money lent and services ren-
dered on behalf of the abcve company.
His Honour said that several contributories in the above
company had asked that Mr. Muller's proof might be ex-
punged. He was of opinion that, from the evidence, Mr.
Muller had no claim on the company, and the proof must
be expunged.
