Mr Pope said the first thing was did them exist a marriage

Mr Pope asked that • copy of the marriage settlumeut be

Mr Weston objected, remarking that it could not be dune, se
the Court had no power over that young Mrs Sheridan, and
he (the bankrupt) could not claim a copy himself. If it wore

The judge; Can you quote any authority where the Court of
Bankruptcy has ordered such a power to be exercised':
Kr Peter Cox said the chtldren had interests inerely in
default of appointment by the parents, and, he added, Ma
Sheridan had made a will
Mr Pope remarked she might destroy it to-morrow, and not
make another, and therefore she did not appoint.
Mr Weston said It wss a most improbable thing in the hands
of Mr Peter Cox,
Mr Pope said he was instructed to get such information as
would satiety his clients as to bankrupt's interest. Perhaps
the Judge would order that a copy of the settlement be placed
