IN THE MATTER OF Sorabjee Rustomjer.
The bankrupt came up for his final discharge, which was opposed by Messrs. Toeg and Gabbay Mr. Reece (df Ewens and Reece) Johnson, Stokes, and Master) for the creditors.
Mr. Reece said that he had just received how 35,000 out of the $40,000 unaccounted for & statement from the bankrupt which explained had been disposed of. He then read this state- ment and a letter from Mr. S 1. Danby, stating that in his share transactions with the bankrupt large sums of money were often paid for shares

really could not see anything in it to alter is any one point the decision he had already arrived at. After putting a few more questions to the bankrupt his lordship proceeded to read his judgment as follows:-
The bankrupt was adjudicated on a creditors petition on 28th Octaber, 1889. He filed schedule shewing Habilities at $99.744-41, 3 all, with the exception of furniture on which there was a bill of sale for $10,000, which was subse quently set aside. The furniture realised $3.165.10: The first, and adjourned first meeting of creditors, was held on the 13th, 20th and 27th November and 4th December, 1889, and Mr. Michael was appointed to help the bankrapt to make up his 12 months' accounts. A man of memoranda, chiefly brokers' notes, and papers were handed over to Mr. Michael, and after 3 months' labour, and at an expense of $800 to the creditors, Mr. Michael submitted a report and certain schedules showing something of the dealings of the bankrupt From Mr. Michael's report and that of the oficial assigaro, it appears that at the beginning of November, 1888, the bankrupt started share operations on a large scale, nearly all time bargains for months ahead, being them in debt, and that his purchases of bankrupt's possession, amounted to $2,805,933.501 bares, according to the brokers' notes in the
but according to the brokers statements $4,344,700.93. This report of Mr. Michael was read at an adjourned meeting of creditors and both he and the bankrupt were present. It
