THE LATE MR BRADLAUGH.
An appeal for subscriptions has just been issued by Mr G. W. Foot«, President of the National Secular Society, and Mr J. M. Robertson, editor of the "National Reformer," pointing out that Mr Charles Bradlaugh s somewhat sudden death has left his affairs in a state of embarrassment. The liabilities exceed the assots. and no kind of provision is made for his only surviving daughter, Mrs Bonner, who some time ago, in a moment of emergency, surrendered on hie behalf the life poliov he had assigned to her. None of the debts are personal, the bulk being due to investors holding debentures on his publishing business, some of whom are willing to forego their claims. Mr Bradlaugh was practically solvent, but his death has greatly altered the financial position of his affaire, tho assets being chiefly of a character which, under a forced sale, would realise fax leas than their legitimate value. What is proposed is that the first £600 of the fund should be devoted to purchasing the printing plant for Mrs Bonner, which would afford her a modest income. Then it ii intended to devote something to the redemption of copyrights, and after that to deal with the creditors as the amount in hand permits.
