MR. ROBERT GRAHAM'S ESTATE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l do not know which deserves the most commiseration—the widow and orphans or the creditors of Mr. Graham, for the manner in which the substance is being sucked out of this estate. For two and a-half years the lawyers have been tossing it from hand so hand like a shuttlecock, and the creditors have not had a penny. To-day you report that yesterday Mr. F. Earl took the matter into the Supreme Court again re £100, when Mr. Stone, for Mr. W. Thorne, asked for vouchers. Mr. Earl said that was a surprise, and the case was adjourned again—at our cost, of course. Alas ! alas ! for the poor widow and orphans, and creditors. When all the lawyers have had their pickings, we shall scarcely find it worth while to gather up the crumbs they have left.—l am, &c., An Unfortunate Creditor.
