Finding himself one day unable to meet his engagements, he submitted himself to the domestic jurisdiction which is established by that body in like cases. He attended an official meeting of his creditors. There he was interrogated as to his assets and liabilities, and he stated among other things that he had at his bankers a sum of £5000.
