Prior to the outbreak of the war he was in receipt of £6B monthly from his father in France, but thin was reduced to £-10.

This the Count denied. He was cross-ex-lamined at great length on this and on the bill of sale for £550 that lie gave I over his ell'ects, and which the creditors sought to upset.
