the dscOuntDg circles, In consequence of the extra
ordinary disclosures elected when his lordshp an
peared on his last examination, he was remanded ol
two months to allow time for full inquiry. This was
the first of series of meetings appointed to nvest
gate the several transactions connected with bl
which had passed from his lordship into second anf
third parties hands, and for which he alleged he re
oeived little consideration.
Lord Huntlngtower came up IN custody of the Of
ficers OF the Queens Bench. where he is at presen

ing already been taken on the part of some of hi:
OBTAINING creditors TO arrange for proof under his
tate, rather than keep him longer IN confinement
HIS debts and Liabilities are stated to be about 225 :.
00N and there will be scarcely shilling for the Gre
dors.
Mr.. Angel, of the firm of Angel and Cooper, OF
Chancery Lane, was the party whose examination
occupied the court the whole day. He was protect.
ed by Mr. James. Counsel also appeared for Lord
HuntingtOwer.
Mr.. Mas, attorney to the estate conducted the ex
animation. Hr
Mr.. Angel said the first transaction he had with

lroduced by Captain Byng for business purposes his
lcrdshlp at that time wanting to raise money. He

ed four bills for 1000 in total amount for which his
lordship received 500. The next Transaction was,
we (the firm OF Angel and Cooper applied to the
General Reversionary Office for 10000 We were
unsuccessful in consequence of reports thatwere a.
bout concerning HIS lordship. The transactions W.
had with his ordship entered in our cash book
which can and shall be produced. To the best of my
recollection received two bills of exchange in adj
dlnon to the l0O0 worth of bills before mentioned
wish to say that these bills our own transac
tons with his lordship. We discounted them. One
OF them was for 57J., and the other for lOON The
bull for 579. Is ia the hands of Mr. Moss DAVIS as
trustee for us the other bill for lOOOl don't know
what has become OF il, but believe Mr.. Cooper can
tell
What consideration did you give for the two st
mentioned bills, and whenl Five hundred pounds
was given by us to Lord Huntingtower, and we can
prove that we gave J7U., the amount of the BILL 10
obtain The money. Our object was not to make
profit Of it. l.....l
Did you give the bankrupt any more than the 1901
You mentioned for the two bulls of lOOO and 575
Yes, most decidedly 500, was given by us to his
ordshp.
DO you mean TO say that you have given to the
bankrupt ESQ in additonro the E5O0 YOU have
mentioned tor the two last mentioned bills of ex-
change Most distinctly yes the EI,0O0 bill we
made oproht upon. wish 10 explain that the bill
taken from his lordshp at the time settlement OF
accounts took place between us, and when Mr.
Bowen attended as his ordshps solicitor. | wish
also TO add that we took a bond of indemnity from
Lord Huntngtower to hold us harmless for putting
our names to the bills for his ordship's accommo-
datien, and in contemplation of becoming liable as
drawers Of bills Of exchange not to exceed 5000
That bond OF indemnity is in the hands OF Mr. Moss
