DECLAEATIONS OF COMPLETE EXECUTION OP DEEDS. These were made in the cases of George Nicoll, John M'Callum Jamieson, and John Skene, and John Thomas Bellamy.

Re Richard Evans.—This was a final examination, and Mr M*Keay (as a creditor) opposed the granting of a final order. He examined the bankrupt, wbo gave tbe following evidence:—My debts are L 99, of which L 34 odd is due to you for professional services rendered to me when going through the Court previously, in March, 1871. I did not then represent to you that I had a good estate, and have not paid you anything on account. I offered you L 5 in payment of the account, to be paid within six, or it may have been eighteen, months. You did not offer to take LlO in six months, J may have told a creditor that I would pay him and not pay. you. For the last six months I have earned on an average 20s per week, and live on that; I pay 6s or 7s a week for rent, I paid L 8 or L 9, fees of Court, on filing this time, out of money I had saved from the 20s a week I earn. I saved it by living under my income. AMr Fulton advanced me money. —Bankrupt then examined Mr M‘Keay, who stated.: I diet not arrange to take you through the Court for LlOj and never made any proposal about your watch and chain. Your statement that.l. did is utterly untrue. T did have some transactions with you in prospecting for coal, was paying you L2 a-week, but in consequence of your not behaving honorably had to kick you out of the office.—The bankrupt exclaimed at this, but his Honor said that from what he had known of Mr M'Keay’s professional career he believed every word he now stated, and that bankrupt had misrepresented his estate in order to secure assistance. However, it appeared-there were some debts, and though not one penny of these had been recoverable, still, making allowance for the sanguine temperament of man, bankrupt might have thought them good. A final order of discharge was granted.
