A BANKRUPr.-George Odger, the
noted English radical, who has been
repeatedly nominated for Parlia-
ment as the workingman's candidate
but has always been unsuccessful,
has been declared a bankrupt. The
debts of Mr.. Odger, who is described
as a boot-maker by trade, amount
to A,S60. OF this sum S160 are due to
the proprietor of the London Figaro,
against whom the bankrupt brought
suit for libel, a short time ago, which
was decided against him. More than
half ofthe amount is due to an cleo
pioneering agent for services rendered
in relation to parliamentary elections
at Stafford, Southwark, and Bristol.
Mr.. Ojger's total assests are $50.
