LAW INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

COURT OF BANRRUPTCY.
IN RE SIR R. NICHOLSON, BART.
This case, which has been before the Court on
many occasions, came before the Commissioner
again to-day upon the adjourned order of discharge.
The bankrupt, who claims to be heir to a
baronetcy, bas been very ill, and he was put to
further legal torture by the absence of the counsel
engaged in the case. He has been before the
Court for some time now, and the case has been
adjourned from time to time upon very slight Pre"
texts. It is anticipated that he will be kept before
the Court until some arrangements are made,
although the baronet has shown every desire to
assist his creditors.
