William by

Womersley Gaunt, son of a Bradford wool mer- chant, to be the causes of his failure, at his public examination in bankruptcy which opened at Brad

ford recently.

The statement of affairs showed a deficiency of £1,686, and the assets were given as £398. Reply: ing to the official receiver, Gaunt said that he was a bachelor, and was 27 years of age. He was never in partnership with his father. but in. 1825 he went to America to look after his father's business there and became a director of several com- panies in America. The suggestion that he drew from one company $60,000 a year was absolutely un- true. His salary was nearer £3,000 a year. He did not save anything..

Gaunt added that he had gam- bled rather successfully in America, and gave details of loans which he had obtained from friends," and also of betting debts. Asked by the official receiver when he first realised that he was insolvent Gaunt said that it was about the end of September last year. Had he not lost a considerable sum of money in betting, he would have been solvent. Further questioned, Gaunt admitted" that for a fort- night in September last he was living at an hotel at the rate of
