All the more honour to those French Statesinen who have made so firm a stand against corruption and have refused to allow an innocent underling to be sacrificed that the sins of his superiors should be hidden, Doubtless the past history of France is responsible for this sad state of affairs. Oppression of the people by the aristocracy leads to revolution while the resultant reac tion places the wrong men maud; class distinctions are swept away and with them all ideas of bonour, and thus the uprightness and love of justice of the nation become sapped. The people become impregnated with the idea of perfect liberty and equality for everyone and so gradually lose the perception of right and wrong. Each man fixes his own moral code. The ambiticais stick at nothing so long as their own advancement is'assurred, they rise to power and, their example being followed by others, the moral tone of the nation depre ciates. Respectable men then shun politics and affairs rapidly go from bad to worse.

His Lordship, before Mr. Reece proceeded with his application, observed that the necessary order was made on September 15th and that order still stood. There were then two couses open to the debtor. If the order had been irregu Jarly obtained the proper coune was to have o jected to its being made, and when the order was made the debtor, might have appeled Mr. Recte said, there was no limit of time against it, but he took neither of these courses. as to appeal, and he might ask his Lordship to adjourn the matter to the full court so that it might be argued before the full court at an appeal.

His Lordship said he certainly should not do that. He subsequently added that in England the time for appealing was limited to

twenty-one days.

Mr. Reece, however, contended, that the time limit did not apply here, and was proceed. ing to argue that debtor should not have been adjudged bankrupt when,

His Lonship, interrupting, said that these arguments ought to have been adduced in, applying to Sir John Carrington to reacind the receiving order.

.

Mr. Reece argued that the proper course was for debtor, to wait until the adjudication was made and then to apply for the annuling of the application, because there was no power to rescind the receiving order,

His Lordship said there was power to appeal MZ Reece yes.
