Fustian is a species of cotton cloth
much used by the Normans, particular
ly by the clergy, and appropriated to
some orders for their cashubles. The
Cistercians were forbidden to wear
them made of any material but linen or
fustian. A stronger description was
first manufactured in England at Nor
wich, temp. Edward VI.
1t was much used for doublets and
jackets in the fifteenth century, at
which time it appears to have been i'm
ported from Italy. "Fustians of Ma
pies" are named in a petition to parlia-
ment from the manufacturers of Nor
wich in 1854. The name was corrupted
in England into ''futianapes" and 'fus-
tan and apes"-i. e.. "fustian Ma

No Discharge of Debts for a Gam.
bier and Speculator.

A decision by the New York Circuit
Court of Appeals, just rendered, is Of
much interest to bankruptcy lawyers.
The petitioner, a former silk mer-
chant, schedules liabilities of S973,
900, assets of S196, 900. His creditors
vigorously opposed discharge of the
debts. In its decision the Court of
Appeals says:
From September Is, 1898, to April
Y, 1900, the petitioner was hopelessly
insolvent, yet in that period he lost in
gambling houses, at roulette and faro
and other games of chance more than
$50, 600, and paid that sum out of
money drawn from his bushes, as wei
as about s75, 900, which he lost in
stock speculations.
Knowing he could not meet his oh
legations. he turned to gambling and
stock speculation in hope of retriev-
ing his losses, but went from bad to
worse, and rapidly used up his assets
and the money of his creditors
On this account the referees recon-
mendation denying a discharge of the
debts was upheld.
