TRESLoTE.—Were there not two accounts between you and the bankrupts—one a loan, and the tither a discount account ? Mr. MONTAGUE here objected to this question, oral said it woo quite clear that in this great coin meicial city a creditor coming to prove a debt was COI bound to answer interrogutories respecting other iransactions not connected with the particular sub. jeer at issue.

He wanted merely to show that there were two sebsistino accounts between Me pa roil's, trot a post one. and another unconnected with the account on which the claim had arisen. Mr. Pot.Eocu, at the aline side. contended that 00•t/doling accounts were open to examination, whatever might be the case respecting urcotints past. ancJ settled. It was of the essence of justice that al; the arc° ttttt e now sm-ettled between the parties - anould be open to examination. Mr. MONTAGUE contended, that unless the sr vourds were in • ttttt e degree blended together in the %dealings between the parties, it Mad quite impossible 'to °pro them here, to throw a light epos) distinct transactions; such a course worth' he quite irregular. The Commissioners overruled the objection, and thought the question as put by Mr. Tredove ought to be answered. Mr. Carroll, on the question being repeated. said tat certainly there had been an old us count, amt another desiguated the " temporary loan ac count." The old account he did 1).,t gn into; hut &wither of the accounts were soiled, the first bill remaining unpaid : hail that bill been paid, the temporary loan acconot would have becu settled.

Mr. TRESLOYE-..Wliess was that account last ba:auced ? Mr. MONTAGUE objected to that question on the grotto(' that it had no reference to the ineserit claim. The Commissioners overruled the objection, and the goes:ion was again put to Mr. Carroll, who re plied. that lie wished to be nnderstood as coining (here expressly to prove upou three Mantic' bills of exclorogr, the lull value for whirl, he had "elven. free . from any usurious tractile:Mu, and totally en connected with any other matter whatever': he therefore respectfully submitted that hr was fully estrilled to prove these hills, oithont going nit° nay other trinesactio:i be might have had old) the 'parties.
