CHEAP PROVISIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu,—You will oblige many of your readers here by
copying from the Carmarthen Journal of Friday last
the paragraph headed " The Weather, and Cheap Pro-
visions." It is a positive fact that a family can live in
Pembrokeshire as cheap as in Jersey or France. It is
true wine, spirits, and tobacco are cheaper in the Channel
Islands and on the Continent, but then at Milford and
Laugharne fish, poultry, eggs, and meat, are cheaper—
coal, house-rent, and servant's wages are less than half
what is charged in Brighton, Southampton, Bath, or
Cheltenham. T. G.

WIGNEY'S BANKRUPTCY.

TowN HALL, BRIGHTON.—On Tuesday morning the ad-
journed examination of the bankrupt took place in the large
room of the Town-hall. As before, the room was crowded
with a large number of the creditors.
Mr. James attended en behalf of the assignees, as also Mr.
Upperton and Mr. Turner, as solicitors. The whole of the
assignees were present.
Mr. Creasy, the barrister, attended on behalf of the bank-
rupts. _ _ _

Mr. Commissioner MERRIFIELD addressed the bankrupts
and said, that there were some extraord;nary circumstances
attending their case, and warned them, that any money in-
vested after the marriage did not belong to the children, but
must be given up to the assignees. He (the Learned Com-
missioner) made this sbservation, it having been stated at the
last meeting that money had been bought in their names.
Perhaps the bankrupts had better retire with their legal ad-
visers.

The bankrupts then retired, and on their return,
Mr. Creasy thanked the Court for the caution, and stated
that all the property had been given up, except that legally
settled upon them.
Mr. Isaac Newton Wigney examined by Mr. James —I pro-
duced at the last meeting some bonds, which produced 1,700/.
The 3001., part of that amount, was some money I received
in part of rent; the other part was out of money left to my
wile. by an aunt named Wakefield. Ido not say that 300/.
was the identical 3001. left by Mrs. Wakefield. I considered
it safer that the money should be invested in bonds in prefer-
ence to bank notes. I purchased bonds in the name of Captain
Gossett. Bonds could be traced easier than bank notes.

Mr. James—Do you mean to represent that a Belgian bond,
purchased in Captain Gossctt's name, would be more traceable
than bank notes?

Mr. Wigney---I cannot give a reason; it was a highly
injudicious act; but my state of mind was so bad at that
time, I hardly knew what I did. The money was paid into
the Bank in May 1842, and drawn out in November 1841.
While there it became bank assets. I drew it out in Bank of
England notes. The 3001. I invested after the fiat I had in my
possession from November. It had never been paid into the
bank after that time. From November to the date of the fiat,
the largest amount I had in my possession was from 5001. to
600/. I had this at the date of the fiat. I don't think I had any
more. Mrs. Wignoy also had about 2004 1001. was given to
Miss Walter by my wife in November, and she is now a debtor
to the estate to that amount. Another 1001. was paid to Miss
Walter subsequent to the fiat. Two cheques, one for 501. and
another for 451. were paid into the bank the day we stopped.
I went to the bank in the afternoon of the day it stopped. The
reason why I made up my mind to suspend was a greater run
than usual that day. We might have gone on a day or two
longer, but the stoppage was inevitable.

The further examination of the bankrupts was adjourned
until Tuesday, the 14th day of June, on which day they will
produce their balance-sheet; and the 13th of October was
named as the audit day.
