Ehe Estate of Frank Leslie.


The final proceeding in the matter of the
Frank Leslie assignment was taken yester.
day. An order was entered scquitting Mr..
Isaac W. England, tho assignee, from all
further obligation 10 the trust, and discharge
ing and releasing the bondsmen who had be.
come his sureties in the sum of 500 900, and
csnceling thsir bond. The case has been a
remarkable one, and probably slauds unpar,
allsied in the Judicial history of this
state. L. is peculiar in that il
probably is the only instance on record
where an assigned estate, instead of being
sold in sccordancs with the provisions of the
assignment, has been carried on by the
assignee in tho interest Of the creditors for
nearly four years. Tho experiment was a
hszardous one, but in this case itseems to
nave been attended with the bss. results.
Inc estate at the time il came into the
possession of the assignee WAS inventoried Mt
80 OOO, and was encountered by debts
emouhtlng TO about $500 900. II less than
four years the assignee had compro.
missed and obtained releases from all
lha creditors and has turned over to the ex,
ecu'riX OF Mr.. Frank Leslie, VINO has mean,

ths 5000 GOO. Though several millions ot
collars passed through Mr.. Ehglish's hands
during his assgueeship, his bccouh,s were
passed without the cballtrcn oga dollar. In
