reputation. His failure in business has furnished
them with attempt to make his want OF success
a crime. The following letters must illustrate this

DEAR SIR:-Yours Of the 18th inst.
addressed to our firm, duly cameto hand
II should have been sooner answ cred but
for Mr. Chapman's absence; as it was de-
sirable to have individual recollectioDs Of
each member Of the firm.
Iwell remember that we were Attor-
MES for several creditors Of p. Warren &
Sons, and that vigilant efforts were made
to ascertain whether there had been any
concealment Of property or funds which
ought to be appliedto the payment OF debts.
The records of the Insolvency case ought
to show fully all that was disclosed; but
although as soon as your letter reached
| me, inquired at the Registers Office,
where by law the Records are required 10
be preserved, find that they have never
been deposited there. They are said TO
be in the hands of Mr. Beach, the writer
of the article in the "Union." l have
therefore to depend upon my general re-
collection. Relying upon this can freely
say that nothing was disclosed in the inves-
tigation which ought to impair your char
acter or standing as man of integrity OF
honesty. Very Respectfully,
GEO. ASHMAN.
