THE ABSCONDING HELSTON FARMERS.

 On Tuesday, at the offices of Mr. J. G. Chilcott (the Registrar  of  Truro  Bankruptcy  Court)  the  first meeting of the creditors of Thomas Michell, farmer, Taskas, Gwinear ;  and  Henry Mitchell,  farmer, Trelan, St. Keverne, was held. It will be remembered these two bankrupt farmers absconded a short time since, but were captured in Ireland and lodged in Bodmin. They ap-peared before their creditors in the custody of two Bod-min warders, having been brought down to Truro that morning  from  Bodmin.    Mr.  R.  M. Paul, Truro,  and  Mr. J. W. Tyacke, Helston, solicitors, appeared for creditors in each bankruptcy; and R. G. Edmonds, Plymouth, ap-peared on behalf of the bankrupts. Messrs. T. Chirgwin and J. H. Sampson were appointed trustees in each case ; Messrs. Smith, Paul, and Archer, solicitors, and the Cornish Bank (Limited), bankers, in the case of Thomas Mitchell; and Mr.J. W. Tyacke, solicitor, and Messrs. Williams, Williams, and Grylls, bankers, in the case of Henry Mitchell.   The  public examination was fixed for April 12th.    The bankrupts underwent a long examina-tion as to their dealings with and disposition of their property shortly before the bankruptcy,   and  it  appeared a large amount of stock  had been  disposed of on the day previous to their  leaving  their respective farms; some of it to relatives and other portions of it to creditors. —After the meeting the bankrupts were again taken to Bodmin gaol.
