      The Lo1stdon Xitbra&Y Society. Bankruptc...

      By Mr . Woolf—He did not tbink that he did not send the cheque because he had not got the

      money . He thought he must have had £ 5 . He could not give any explanation of why he wrote as he did , or why the cheque was not sent with

      the letter . Both Miss Pocklingtpn and Mrs . Roe were members of the Society . He admitted that he had r written to r two w members to the effect that ^ mm ^ w ^ mr ^^^^™^ w ^ r ^ tr ^^ wr w w ^ ^^~ ^ w ^ m * ^^^ ^»^^» ^^ " * rir ^™ » ^^ ^ m ^^ m ^^^ ^ v ^^^^^^^ r ^^ v ^^ ^^ ^^ r - ^^ ^^ w ^^»^ v ^¦ ^ v ^^ r i ^^^ - ¦ - — ' —

      letters written to him had gone astray in the post when such was not the case . He could not explain the reason for that move ; but no doubt he had a

      reason at the time . , By the Court—The printed book always went to the bookbinder and did not come back to

      himself . After some further examination , Mr . Howell pointed out that the accounts filed by the

      bankrupt were very deficient notwithstanding the order which his Honour had made on the former occasion when the bankrupt wasubefore

      the Court . It would be seen that no items ^ whatever appeared in the front sheet of the statement , but simply a lump sum was put at the end

      of the respective colnmns . He asked that the bankrupt might be further ordered to comply withhis Honour ' s former direction to prepare and

      rile a , proper statement . The Registrar—Certainly . The further examination of the bankrupt will be adjourned to

      November 27 , and he , must amend the statement in such manner as is required by the Official Receiver .

      The sitting was accordingly adjourned to

      November 27 next . ¦ _ a >^ W __ .
