WINGATE CONTRACTOR'S  FAILURE.  EXTRAORDINARY ALLEGATIONS AND ADMISSIONS.  On Thursday Wm. Harrison, of Stationtown, Wingate, who filed his own petition, came up at the Sunderland Bankruptcy Court for public examination. His statement of affairs showed that he commenced business in November, 1888, with no capital, and his liabilities were now £231 4s 10d, and his assets £47 18s 2d. He attributed his failure to losses by the death of horses, and the miners' strike.— Examined by the Official Receiver (Mr Longden) debtor said he received an order to prepare a deficiency account. —Mr Longdeu : Then why have you not done so ?—I have done so to the bad of my knowledge.—Mr Longden: You have not sent me anything in the nature of a deficiency account. —Debtor : I made it out and gave it to my solicitor.— Mr Longden: I have nothing to do with that; it is your duty to see that it is sent to me. The forms were given you to fill up.—Debtor, alluding to the goods and cash account, said he expected they were there.—Mr Longden: You cannot tell me that, sir; if you do you must think I'm a fool. You know accounts perfectly well enough to know that, that is not a deficiency account. Then turning to the Registrar, Mr Lougden said: I must draw your attention, sir, to this matter. Debtor has not complied with the order of the Court to furnish a deficiency account, and is bringing us here time after time for no purpose. Defendant said he had made out everything to the best of his knowledge. He kept no books. Mr Lonuden : Were you at Redcar races on Whit Monday ? Debtor: Yes ; but not at my own expense. —ln reply to further questions the debtor said he received £lOO 15s 10d from Mr Crow, auctioneer. He knew the amount because it was entered on a catalogue which was at home. • Mr Longden to his Honour: He has sworn that he has handed over all his papers, but here is another account he has not put in.— Mr Longden, to debtor: Do you know the sum you got was £139 ?—Debtor: No, I don't —Mr Longden: Will you swear you did , not get that sum.—Debtor: Well, there may I have been something I have inissed.—Debtoralo admitted that he had received £lOO from thel Hutton Henry Coal Company for cleaning ashpits, and that four people wanted money from him in respect of a cottage he sold for £42. He got the money, but did not pay the other owners their Mare, and he had not entered them in his statement of affairs. He had always paid 20s in the poond until this affair.— After going through the cash accounts the Official Receiver said debtor's statements were r.,.dically wrong in a great many respects.— Mr Longden (to debtor) : You were a member of the Co-operative Store Committee.— Debtor: Yes.—Mr Longden: Did you receive presents from travellers? Debtor: No, I received a dress once. —Mr Longden: Did yoli not receive £5? Debtor: No; it was divided amongst five.--Mr Longden: Who was that traveller ?—Debtor mentioned the name of a traveller of Darlington.—The Official Receiver said that owing to the incompleteness of the accounts and the absence of a deficiency statement he should be compelled to ask for a further adjournment, which was granted.  An enquiry was held on Wednesday by the Sheffield City Coroner into the circumstances attending the death of Thomas Marshall, aged 61, who strangled himself on Monday at his son's house. His widow, Eliza Marshall, stated that her husband took part in the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, and was wounded in ten places, suffering injuries to the head, neck, I groin, and back. He had previously threatened to commit suicide, and on Monday afternoon he h tied a rope round is neck, fastened one end of it to a bedpost., and strangled himself. He had been three times confined in an asylum.—A verdict of "Suicide whilst temporarily insane" was returned, the Coroner remarking that it was a terrible end for one of the heroes of the Balaclava Charge.
