BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(YESTERDAY).
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
EX PARTE BARRY IN RE L. T. OASKILL.
The sitting in this case was for the purpose of contesting
• the validity of a fiat in bankruptcy issued by Mr. Barry, the
• proprietor of the Shipping and Mercantile- Gazette, the Jour-
nal of Commerce, and the Railway Courier, against Mr.
Gaskill, the advertising agent of Moergate-street, on a debt
of 9131., for advertisements inserted in those papers.. The in-
vestigation appeared to cause great interest among the mem-
bers of the press, and several of the proprietors and repre-
sentatives of the metropolitan—daily patina's were present.
The chief point at issue was, whether an advertising agent
was a trader within the nieaning,of thq 'r abrupt
Mr.Croe;•of the
.tirrn of Vanderenyni;Uree; and Co.,attended
for Mr. Barry • and Mr. E. James, assisted by Mr. Ashurst,
appeared for 11r. Gaskill. .
The prueeedings were opened by the calllztg of witnuses"to
prove the alleged trading.
Mr. J. Jeayes, v 1,11; to Mr. Gaskill, deplied to the fact of
Isis employer being en advertisement :agent, and recczving
advertisements from public companies, auctioneers,And tither
_personssibr insertion in the various newspapers. - :Mr. Gaskill
did not purchase newspapers with the object of selling them
'again. lie was not aware that Mr. Gaskill was one of the
proprietors of the .Rail roly Mail. Mr. Gaskill ditcontinited
his business about the time the railway panic came on. It
was known very well where Mr. Gaskill was to be found.
Mr. Dobie was acting at solicitor to the general body of cre-
ditors, and Mr. Barry was quite 'aware of that, a circular .9u
the subjtet being sent to.him. Mr. Ga.skill never- received
-orders from any. orthe CoMpanies for any. quantity of news,-
papers—at all events he never executed. auy. ..!
Mr. JA.m.es said he bad no questions to ask this 'witness:
Mr. Alexander Dobie, of 2, Lancaster-place, *Strand, sOli-
citor, was next examined—He said he had knoitn Mr. Gas-
kill fur ten-years and upwards. At the end of Xovember
last he was consulted by Mr. Gaskill on the state of his
:affairs. At that- time he (Mr. Dobie) could not say that Mr.
Gaskill was . unable to meet the claims of his creditors, be-
cause there were some thousands due to him beyond 'what lie
owed, all of which he believed tube perfectly good. -He (Mr.
Dobie) convened a meeting .of Mr. - GasKill's creditors. in
January.last, at which he (Mr. Dobie) made a verbal state-
ment on the condition of that gentleman's affairs. At that
meeting certain resolutionS were passed which' were embo-
died in a report of the proceedings. The following. circular
was then put in and received in the ordinary form of evi-
dence :

" At a meeting of the creditors of Meszirs...Gaskill and C 0..,
advertising agents, 54, Moorgate-street. City, held at.' the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Wednesday, the 21st Jan.,
1846, at 12 .o'clock precisely, pursuant to a circular letter of
the 16th inst., of which the following is a copy:—
" Sir,—ln consequence of being unable to collect the large
sums of money due to me by various railway companies for
advertising in your paper and in others, -.and altogether
amounting to a sum exceeding very considerably my liabi-
lities. I placed the accounts in the hands dAlciander Dobie,
Esq., solicitor, 2, Lancaster-place, Strand, in order to effect a
settlement; and finding from .him that it will require more
time to do so than I expected, I have respectfully to request
the favour of your attendance on Wednesday next, the 21st
instant, at 11 for 12 precisely, at the Crown and Anchor Ta-
vern, in the Strand, when a statement will be submitted to
you for your information, and to take your instructions what,
under the circumstances, is the best to be done for the in-
terest of all parties. .

. - -
" I remain, sir, your meat obedient,
." L. T. GASEILL."
" 54, Moorgate-street, City, Jan. 16, 1846."
"The circular letter of the 16th of January, above referred
to, having been read by Mr. Dubie, the solicitor of Messrs.
Gaskill and Co., he then stated to the meeting that on the
29th of November last, Mr. Gaskill placed in his hands a num-
ber of accounts against various railway companies for adver-
tising them in the newspapers and other journals, amounting
to the suni of 17,9791. 135., and at the same time they
handed him a list of their liabilities, amounting to the sum
of 1.3,108/. 16s. Id:, with instructions to use every means in
his power to collect the sums due, and to pay the same *hen
received amongst these having claims upon them. That ap-
plication was immediately made to the several companies, and
arrangements have been come to whereby there is every rea-
son to believemore than sufficient will, ere long, be received to
pay every creditor his full demand, and leave a considerable
surplus.- That the carrying of these arrangements into ex-
ecution has been and. is greatly retarded by attachments
froin the Lord Mayor's Court, which have been issued by
the. following journals, namely,—' The Sun,' the ' Shipping
and Mercantile Gazette,' the ' Globe,' 'and the 'Railway Ex-
press;' and the serving of the same upon the secretaries of
most of the railway companies indebted to Mr. Gaskill, and
which has afforded and still nftbrds them an excuse for not
coming to a settlement until the attachments are withdrawn.
That it was and is Mr. Gaskill's determination not to inter-
fere with the receipt of the sums due, but that the same
should be paid to his solicitor for the purpose of being equally
divided. And lastly, it was stated that in a few months there
was every reason to hope more than enough would be

'' Upon bearing the foregoing statement, and also some ob-
servations by Al; r Gapliill and by several of the creditors
present,
and Mr. Gaskill having expressed hisperfect willing-
ness to execute a deed of assignment, or any other instru-
ment which- might be found necessary or desirable for the
benefit of his creditors, and Mr. Chapman, on behalf of him-
self and the other proprietors of the ' Globe ' newspaper,
having undertaken to withdraw the attachments issued on
their behalf;

,‘ It was moved by Mr. Hughes, of the Birrningharn,Ad-
vertiser, and seconded by Mr. Sowler, of the ' Manchester
Courier,'

"That it is the unanimous opinion of this meeting, that
the continuance of the attachments by The Sun,' the
'Shipping and Mercantile Gazette,' and the Railway Ex-
press, will be exceedingly injurious to the interests of the
general body of creditors, and that the proprietors of those
journals be requested to withdraw them immediately ; in
which case Mr. Dobie is hereby :authorised to pay any ex-
penses necessarily incurred in issuing and withdra ing such
attachments."
