DEBTORS WHO BOLT.
AND ABE NOT. BROUGHT BACK. It was remarked yesterday by .tho Official Assignee (Mr. A. Simpson) that creditors in bankrupt estates are so often averse to subscribing . the funds necessary to bring absconding debtors to book that the latter lor a considerable period past have enjoyed an almost total immunity from pursuit.

The result has been to create a mounting abuse, in the shapo of debtors absconding. and leaving their creditors lamenting. In some recent instances creditors seem to have realised tho bearing .of these facts, and that, although the process may be expensive, it is absolutely necessary, in the interests of commercial morality, that debtors who depart in a hurry and leave no satisfactory statement of their affairs behind tnem, should be induced to return and repair tho omission. •'
