COMMISSION OF BANKRUPTCY.

IN RE DAUNCEY.

BIRNINCHAM, OCT. 20. Some months ago The Sun
contained an account of the apprehension and committal
of William Dalton Dauncey, ironmaster, a young man
aged 22 only, charged with feloniously abeeoncling from
his creditors, and taking refuge upon the Continent, in-
stead of surrendering to his fiat of • bankruptcy. It will
be recollected that the bankrupt, who for a period of ea.
year and three-quarters occupied the 13ordesley and
Atlas mills, was taken by Superintendent Stephens at a
ball at Cuxhaven, and was afterwards committed to take
his trial at the last Warwick Spring Assizes, but owing
to an objection, grounded upon the invalidity of the
notice served at the late residence of the bankrupt
when the fiat was %issued, he was, under the direction of
Mr. Justice Matteson, acquitted. The creditors,
prepared for this result, and determined that
he should net escape with impunity, lodged a
detainer against him, and Dauncey was trans-
ferred from the criminal to the debtors' side of War-
wick gaol. He subsequently petitioned the Insolvent
Debtors' Court for his discharge, and the schedule which
be was compelled to file for that purpose has exposed a
course of reckless proflgacy never before exhibited in
any bankruptcy case in Birmingham. Dauncey having
been remanded by the Ceminisstoner of the last Insol-
vent Debtors Court held at Warwick until the next
circuit, the assignees under his fiat have, within these
subjected him to a searching examination before the
few days, brougL, him in custody from Warwick, and
Commissioners of Bankruptcy at the Watteelteerooles in
this town.
The Commissioners in attendance were Meesre. Beet-
leet, R. W. Gem, and A. Ryland. Messrs. tledgsou and
Cohuore attended as solicitors for the fiat. The bank-
rupt was unassisted by any professional gent' .roan, and
throughout his examination appeared perfectly ineiffer
cat as to its disclosures.-
The state of. Dauncey's circumstances, from what
transpired on his examination, and which will enable the
reader to form some idea of the " successes"-(for there
is little doubt he has been erainently successful) of this
juvenile.bankrupt are as follows :
Dauncey was in business about a year and three quer
tern, and during that period he contracted debts to t'ee
amount of 19,4131. Bs. ; realised a profit of 3,000/.. and
I,ooel capital. to begin business with ; amounting toge-
ther to 23,413 L, towards which his assets, above stated,
amount only to 1,668/., leaving a deficiency of 21,74:./.
The insolvent, en being asked to account for such a
largedeficiency, sg,
gave about twenty items, amountin
altogether to 25,845 L, in which was included I,ooe/. for
travelling expenses, 40(q. for the trip to the Continent,
loss by gambling at Dunkirk,
37c1., loss on a race-horse
at Wurtzen, in Prussia, 701., and money in his posses.
sion when taken into custody, 11s. The bankrupt was
examined at great length, and, being unable to give
satisfactory answers respecting many points under inves-
tigation, the Commissioners adjourned his further exa-
mination until Tuesday, the 2d of November.
It was stated by the solicitor to the fiat that not more
than 40/. has as yet been received from the estate of the
bankrupt, and the assignees are consequently prosecuting
the inquiry at their own risk. The temily of Dauncey
are living in a style of great respectability in tbc neigh-
bourhecel of Warwick.
