CITY ana given the society gossipS something 10
talk about. The ladys liabilities amounted TO
over $4,000, Of which $4,000 is unsecured,
with 10 assets The bankrupt is The widow OF
the late Sir Claud Edward Scott, Bart, the
famous banker, aud is the mother OF tie present
Countess OF Russell. Living beyond her means
is the cause OF her ladyshiu's financial embar-
easements. After mortgaging everything she
possessed, she has been compelled 10 undergo a
public examination IN the courts. Her unse-
cured liabilities Of $4,000 are for household
and personal expenses. Only IN December 1890,
she effected an arrangement with her creditors,
paying them 25 per cent, agreeing 10 pay them
the balance within a certain time, but failed TO
carry OUT the arrangement Such Tecklessness
and extravaganza OF people in society cannot be
given TOO much publicity in any country, and
that the Russell family should allow such a
scandal TO see the light of day is a blot on
nObls escutcheOn that can never be ersdIcated,
and all ibis for-to them-the trihing sum Of less
than $4,000; but 10 tile creditors 1t is far
more important Item.
