Lord Loftus' Bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy proceedings in the | case of Lord Augustus Loftus are to | be annulled, says the Lyttelton Times Home letter. An agreement has been arrived at by which certain creditors withdraw claims to the amount of i between twenty and thirty thousand pounds, and a sum of £2OOO is to be distributed in satisfaction of the remainder. This will pay the creditors about fd in the &. Captain Loftus' wife, once a noted Victorian beauty, who fascinated the son of the GovernorGeneral of New South Wales at a ball at Government House some years ago, has followed the example of so many of our aristocracy, and set up a millinery shop at the West End. Her only stock-in-trade is her good looks, for she can have no knowledge of the " business." But with plenty of aristocratic patrons she will no doubt get on well enough. The alternative to tho millinery business was the acceptance by Captain Loftus of some sort of official appointment in the Seychelles Island; but exile of this description was too terrifying for either of them to acquiesce in.
