LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner G-oulburn.)
IN RE SOUTH.
This bankrupt was described as of Maidstone, beer
seller, and to-day was appointed for consideration of his
certificate.

It appeared that the only opposition was made by a
creditor who had swept off the greater part of the
property under a bill of sale, and the bankrupt came
before the Court with but 100/.

His Honour said that the brewers appeared to have
taken all .they could, and in this case the lesser trader
was the least to blame, and was entitled to an immediate
certificate of the second class.

IN RE AMBROSE.
This bankrupt was described as of Sheerness, iron-
monger, and to-day was appointed for choice of assignees.
The debts are not large. Messrs. Robinson and
Knowles, the accountants, estimated the assets at about
6s. in the pound.
