BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)

IN RE ASHTON V. MATTHEWS.
In this case the defendant, Mr. Charles Matthews,
was called upon to appear on a summons under the
moan Debts Act. The case had been adjourned from
1116, day week, the defendant having sent up a letter
'Mal Brighton, stating that he was ill and unable to
attend. On that occasion his Honour said that he
would let the case stand over for a certificate, verified
,
• affidavit.
Mr. LEWIS said he now appeared for the defendant,
11/110 was out of town, and too ill to attend. He was,
,
lowever, here on Monday, considering that was the
day appointed.
His HONOUR said he was present, and did not hear
luaY thing of the case.
Mr. Laiwis—No, your Honour, Mr. Pollock, the
registrar, set him right. I have now to offer to pay
41. in a fortnight, and the rest by instalments.
His HONOUR—WiII you undertake to pay ?
Mr. LEWIS—Why, I think, he will pay himself if
Your Honour makes the order.
His HONOUR— But I do not see bow I can make an
order on him in his absence unless you consent as his
attorney.
Siniarr said it was altogether a perfect per-
formancesillis Honour had positively stated on the
sent a c that unless the defendant appeared, or
certificate, a warrant of commitment should
a_ssue. Defendant did not value a promise. If the
defendant could be brought up, it would appear he
;vvaesniingn perfect health, and he only left town last
at five o'clock. It was really too bad to trifle
in this way.
i_Mr. lawn said that Mr. Matthews was, to his
l'novvledge, obliged to pay under four or five orders
from the Middlesex Court.

,2lr• SIBLEY—I can prove he is living in luxury

pelled to pay such a debt as this.
Ilia HONOUR—I think you ought to be satisfied.
