In the hearing of an insolvency case at Charleston, Westland, before Judge Ward, the insolvent said he had only filed his schedule when his creditors began to press him. His Honor said: — I suppose they wanted their money. It is strange that with insolvents a man who is wicked enough to want his money is looked upon as a persecutor. It should be remembered that when a man comes before the Court and asks that his debts should be wipea" out, he stands in the position of . a culprit, and unless he can show that his insolvency was caused by misfortune, he is not entitled to sympathy.
