ENGLISH BANKRUPTCY,

1t seems tibet the United States is not the only
country in which most Of the bankrupt cases are
handled more to the advantage Of bankrupt Off
,cials than anxious creditors. Thus in late Eng,
estates were wholly absorbed by legal costs that
only % bankrupts were discharged out of 4437 in
four years that 500 trustees were summoned
before the courts at the instance OF the control.
Ter for neglectiug duty that 10 trustees had been
removed from Office, 16 had become bankrupt, 10
had been committed to prison for contempt of
court, and Al were not to be found; and finally
that the average cost of realizing the assets was
'6S per cent, while in 135 cases it was 100 per
shown BY the aggregate liabilities Of the bank.
1rupts, which. in 1872, were f14,237, 1885, in 1878
were f16 1882.

evenings, when there comes up one of those cense

The crowd becomes dense around him he turns
his lantern toward the lowering clouds. AT that

in the midst of the heavens, which do duty for
curtain, gigantic advertisement recommending
