Part of it had been handed over to his landlord, and part had been sold to his father. The rest of the furniture that was in the house had belonged to his father. On the application of Mr. Pinsent, the examination was adjourned in order that the debtor might furnish a full account of his financial transactions from 1881, and full details with regard to his furniture.
