It was shoed by the norigeet., that it would be their duty to ascertain the real value and operation of these bonds, previous to „ their niaking arrangements fur paOtog a dividend on the bankrupts' efft cm. Mr. Machin had since acknowledged the grouting the hoods, but, hr slid. Its thought they had been destroyed when Mr. Liti. degren des-lured his partnership. A letter from Mr. Minden) addressed to the assignees, and iiiiiii her to the rreditors generally, were read to the memo{ open the subject, in which Jr.N M. congratulates i hem upon the discovery of the bonds as the amount a oidil in crease the dividend ; two of the signing parties ht. ing yet solvent, he recommended they should lot immediately applied to satisfy the demands.— But it was stated, In reply to this advice, that ob.-, Mr. Lindegren weeded from the Batik, the remoii - ing partners, one of whom was Mr. Godwin hinise!!, signed him a release, and, therefore, hr could not lot held responsible for any part of throe bond., or for any other thing or circumstance relating to the Lis::: : and, with respect to the late Mr. GOl6Oll, It Wai a well-known circumstance that his affairs were left io a very impoverished Asir, when compared with them bonds. After this subject had been conversed on by the meeting, but which led to no result. or the production of soy further information, the assignees read a long statement of the private exa minations of the berikrupts.

The exaniinatron entirely bore upon the lilltblioll olt the 8,500/. deficient in the bankrupt,' stock of notes. Mr. Carter confrosed 'outsell a convert to Mr. Adams' proof, that it was a real l o ss air de falcation, and not a numerical error ; but he we* totally unable even to suggest by what probabl-t memos the lobs had been zecasioned. It was rote' t,l in the balance sheet (e statement of debts and cre dits), as a numerical error, as the must easy, nod, las he then thought, the most accurate way of ac counting fur it. Mr. Attain conlessed, at one of his examinations, that hats opioion of the rheum- stance was shook by the fresh evidence given by Mr, Carter; but his mind afterwards reverted to its original impression, and tie said he did nut be lieve that it was an einbezzlement or abstraction. of property by any person or IltreUUS witsten aver. The evidence given by Mr. Carter, as to the manner in which the batik notes " were made," from their corning out of the copper-plate printer's hands, until they were negociattd, discovered laxity of method, which could only have been pro duced by a constant pressure of bu►iness, lent which was fraught with all imaginable danger cf loss ensuing. " WIIII this very unsatisfactory *cement (said one of the assignees) the Commi►- siuners chose to pass the final examinatioir of the bankrupts, and refused to give further lance for the elucidation of their affairs." It appeared from in quiries made of the arsignees, that Mr. during the 15 years he 1 1 1/16 a partner iu the house, shared 47,0001.; that in the twelve month* preceding his bankruptcy (from November 1817 10 November 18/8) he had drawn out 6,0001.; Mr. Kelly, who had not given one farthing gri.. tong for becoming a partner, during the nitre's months lie was in the cniicerii, drew from its funds 4,5001. ; that Mr. Carter, during the last twelse months, drew out '2,5001.
