MEETING OF ANGLO-PERUVIAN BOND-

HOLDERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

STR,—In the able and ample report of this meeting
which appeared in The Sun of Saturday,• a bondholder is
stated to have said "that he had called at the office of
the Committee of Spanish Bondholders to complain of
the proposed arrangement, but had been told by Mr.
Powles, the secretary, that it would be useless to inter-
fere." Now, Mr. Powles, although the secretary of the
London Dock Company, is not the secretary of the Com-
mittee of Spanish Bondholders ; but he is, and has been
from the beginning, a prominent member of that com-
mittee, and for many years the committee-room was under
the same roof as his offices. The present secretary of
the Committee of Spanish Bondholders is a Mr. Alfred
Godfrey, the salaried secretary of the Anglo-Mexican
Mint Company, and of the Ango-Mexican Mining Asso-
ciation, and in each of these companies Mr. J. D.
Powles is a director.

It seems to me not altogether unimportant at the pre-
sent time, that the Anglo-Peruvian bondholders should
know the above facts, and I therefore take the liberty
to request an insertion of this letter in the Sun.—l have
the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
CHRIS. RICHARDSON..

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE OUT OF CUSTODY AFTER
AN ADJOUI:NMENT SINE DIE FOR UNSATISFACTORY AC-
COUNTS.-IN RE COHEN.

This bankrupt formerly carried on business in the
Minories as a wholesale clothier, and his last examina-
tion was adjourned sine die in August last on the ground
that he had not made a full disclosure of his estate and
effects, and since which time he had been in custody
under a warrant granted to the assignees for that pur-
pose.

Mr. Lawrance now applied on behalf of the bankrupt
for a day to be named that he might pass his last
examination on the accounts filed. The learned
gentleman said that after very protracted examina-
tions his Honour had come to the conclusion, that
the bankrupt's statement as to a sale of property
to his brother, had not been substantiated, and
the adjournment sine die took place. Some ques-
tion arising as to the form of the warrant, the assignees,
Messrs. Llewelyn, took the bankrupt in executions as
creditors, but the bankrupt's friends had proposed to
pay the debt claimed, which would more than cover the
amount supposed to have been concealed. Messrs.
Llewelyn, who had throughout acted in fact as the trus-
tees for the creditors, had paid the money to the official
assignees. Mr. Lawrance said that the bankrupt was
of course hound by what he had stated in his account,
yet as he had been severely punished, he trusted the
restitution of the property, if that assertion was con-
firmed, would operate on the Court to grant the appli-
cation.

Mr. Turner, for the assignees, offering no opposition,
His Honour granted the application.
