HIS IDEA OF BANKRUPTCY.
Indian Native Evidently Had Had
Painful Experience

A native OF India, who had lost a
large an punt of money through the in,
solvency of an English merchant, ey.
planned the English insolvency laws
as follows: In Burma the white man
VINO wants to become insolvent goes
into business, and gets lots of goods
and does not pay for them. He then
gets all the money he can together
say 10000 rupees Ia rupee is az
cents), and puts all of it except 100
rupees away where no one can find it
win the 100 rupees he goes to a Judge
OF the court and tells him he wants
10 become bankrupt. The judge then
calls all the lawyers together, like
wise all the men to whom the white
man owes money. and he says: This
man is insolvent, but he wishes to give
you all that he has got, so he has
asked me TO divide this 100 runees
among yoH ALL The Judge thereupon
gives the lawyers 80 rupees, and the
remaining 10 rupees to the other
men. Then the insolvent goes home
to England"
