LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 3.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE d. GAISFORD.

This bankrupt, who was a baker, of Gravel-lane,
Southwark, came up to pass his last examination.
He was supported by Mr. Duncan and. Mr.
Buchanan (Basinghall-street), and opposed by the
assignees, on the grounds that there was no cash
account, that there had been no regular books kept,
and that there was an incorrect return of profits
made by the bankrupt, he stating that he only had
3s. per sack.
Mr. DUNCAN submitted that the accounts furnished
by his client (the bankrupt) were perfectly correct,
and with respect to his having kept no books, it was
not the practice of the trade in which he was en-
gaged, so to do. The hard pressure of times and
circumstances had taken great effect upon him, more
particularly because he was an ignorant man. A
further adjournment would not benefit the estate in
any way, arid under such circumstances he (Mr_
Duncan) hoped that the Court would now allow the
bankrupt to pass his last examination.
The Learned COACIVISSIONER adjourned the case
sine die, with protection for three months.

Adjourned accordingly.
The other cases heard before his Honour were dis.
posed of by an early hour, but they possessed no fea.
