dinian Bonds, which I had received of my mother,
who lent them to me, I forgot when. I borrowed
money on the bonds of Mr. Edwards. think as
much as 2001. I left it to Mr. Elmslie's discretion
whether or not le would redeem the bonds and
give them to my ?mother. I did not think when we
went away there would be a bankruptcy. I thought
we would be ba ek in. a week as soon as the Excise
were off. We inveited. 1,1001. of the money we
took away in Prussian Railway Stock, and spent
the rest. We went to Ostend and Aix-la-Chapelle.
At the latter placowe bought the railway stock. We
stayed there two, or three days. We then went to
Cologne. We did not hear of thebankruptcy for come
time after. Iha ard of my bankruptcy for the first
time in Berne. We went to Baden, thence to
Berne, and arrivt 'd there about a fortnight after we
left England. IV e did not come back then, because
we heard Cole brad got into trouble about the war-
rants, and we Nvi, shed to seethe result. I heard there
was a warrant omit against us. I anticipated there
would be procee odings against us under the bank-
ruptcy. We of fered to come back to our solicitor,
Mr. Elmslie. We were at Neufchatel two or three
months. Mr. B e ard, a creditor, took steps against
us and obtained the railway shares, but I am in-
formed he is not entitled to them. We were at
Genoa. We Nve nt from there to Naples, thence to
Malta. We tra.7;elled in our own names. Part of
our object, no nibt, may have been to avoid pur-
suit. From Ma, lta we came to Southampton, where
the officer, with 'us, arrested us. We were arrested
at Malta, and dis .charged by the magistrate. We
offered Bull, the detective, to go to England at
Malta, and he act 'opted out invitation.
Examined by A. fr. Roxburgh—l left because I
was unable to pay the Excise. I intended to ar-
range with the 23 :cise and return in a few days. I
had no idea of ba;:tkruptcy when I went abroad. I
did not intend to Ceceive my creditors. The distil-
lery at West Ham. cost 300,0091., and the profits by
it during the nine, months were 10,0001. Several
London firms att(r.mpted to ruin the distillery, but
failed. Webb's '3ecurity increased with his debt.
We wished to h; t-ve the distillery under our own
control. Estim:tting the distillery at cost price, we
were not insolv, ant. I thought the distillery would
have paid us 4'3,000/. a-year, and it would if we
could have car tied it on. I considered myself sol-
vent in Oct., 1 p 53. I thought the spelter warrants
were genuine. I had in my possession in 1353
large quantiti e s of sugar, by which we hoped to
clear a large a mount. I explained the whole na-
ture of my dce.lings to Mr. Vaughan, who was sa-
tisfied, and continued us as agents of his firm up to.
our leaving F,ngland. The warrants I gave him I
believed to be, genuine. Whenever I dealt with the
spelter war rants I believed them to be genuine. In
the intervie w with Chapman the genuineness of
the warrants was never mentioned, and Chapman
so stated in his evidence.
Mr. Lewi,s--I intend to postpone my cro3s-
examinatioi a until Mr. Chapman has been examined.
Commissiioner—l do not know that you ought to
do that.

Mr. Lewis—l surely have a rightto examinehim
after Chapman P

Commis gouer—Do you oppose that course, Mr.
Linklater ?

Mr. Lewis—lf not, I shall have to cross-examine
the bankr npt twice, instead of once, and go over
the same ground.
Mr. Laklater—l am in the hands of the Court.
Commiusioner—Well, in bankruptcy we do not
tie ourselves down to very strict rules. The com-
missioner then directed that the case should stand
adjourned to Friday, the 26th inst., at half past 10
o'clock, directing that Mr. Chapman be summoned
to attend and give evidence on that day.
Adjourned accordingly.
