ANOTHER SwINDLER FLowN!-I C. Woops GONE
TO AUSTRALIA! Several days ago. says the San
Francisco Sun, had an intmation that Isaiah
Z. woods late OF the house of Adams g. Co., would
take his departure secretly from this city, but did
not feel justified on the authority to announce IT,
1t is now we'll ascertained that he has gone. not to
The Atlantic States, as he falsely declares in pub
slcd card, but to Australia. He took his depart
ure on Thursday 9th inst, on the ship Audubon.
The following is Woods card:
"Ihe consideration which entertain for the nu-.
merous creditors of the late firm Of Adams & Co.,
induces me to make the announcement which is
the subject of this communication. The recent de-
cisIon OF the Supreme Court of this State having
frustrated my earnest efforts towards an equitable
division Of the remaining assets of the firm among
IFS creditors, Ivy declaring my proceedings in insol-
vency null and void and thus appropriatinp to the
satisfaction of few demands the entire fund which
had hoped to be able to distribute for the common
benefit, nothing remained that could render nv
further continuance in San Francisco useful to 9TH
ers or desirable to myself therefore determined
at once to take my departure for the Atlantic States
on one OF the lines of steamers, in the hope that
might be able to effect some arrangement for the
payment OF our protested exchange in New York;
there being at the time of our failure large
amount of assets provided for that purpose in the
hands OF our agents in that city.
This determinations however was thwarted by
various devices the part of certain individuals
who claimed to represent of my partners and
who also. by an ingenious union of apparently con-
hicng duties, ut the time represented the
very agents who had dshonored our bills The
object Of their pertnacious opposition to any plan
by which could personally communicate with my
partners and cffcctually disclose to them the real
end and aim of the proceedings of their confden-
tal agent here, is too apparent to require explana
ton.
Since the financial wreck of February last, in
which | shared the fate of many others who were
engaged in the same line of business, and who are
now i'll the same condition of insolvency, have re-
maned here, ready to respond to any charge that
might be made the subject of IA legal prosecution
