IN THE MATTER OF ADOLPIIT ADRIAN.

Yesterday was also the day tiled for the choice of as-
signees in the matter of the bankrupt, who cart led on busi-
ness as a " Hamburgh merchant" at London Wall, but he
islso did not appear to his fiat.
It appeared that in the above cases the parties, who are
foreigners, carried on an extensive system of accommoda-
tion bills, with which they traded, particularly at Man-
chester, and were also connected with another foreigner,
named Gerard, who had absconded sonic time since, taking
with him a quantity of the property which the whole of the
parties had contrived to procure from honest and unsus-
pecting tradesmen. Having secured business-like places
of residence in different parts of the city, they gave refe-
rences to each other, and in this manner succeeded in ob-
taining goods to the amount of many thousands, which
they shipped in some instances to foreign parts, or sold in
the home market at enormous losses.

The creditors are not likely to receive a single shilling
from any one of the bankrupt's estates.
