Mr. John Samways, of Evershot. Dorsetahire, brick
manufacturers. Mr. LinkJater and Mr. Lawresse Apo
peered for other parties.
Mr. Lawrence stated that he was instructed to ask
the creditors to assent to a proposal of the bankrupts,
and accept se. in the E, with the new of staying all
further proceedings in bankruptcy.
Ilia Honor: What were the bankrupts'
-

Mr. Lowrance said they were builders. The question
was whether the proposal should be carried out under
the 110th, or under the 185th section of the Act. He
thought it could not be done at this meeting under the
185th section, as that only applied to the first meeting
of creditors after adjudication, or "at any meeting
called for the purpose," of which ten days notice is to
be given in the London Gazette, three-fourths of the
creditors present, or represented, may resolve that the
estate ought to be wound tip under a deed of arrange-
ment, composition, or otherwise, and that an appli.
cation be made to the Court to stay the proceediop in
bankruptcy for such peried as the Court may think
fit. The 110th section enacted that "at the °peke ef
creditors tne proceedings in bankruptcy may 100 sus-
pended, and the estate wound up, and the bankrupt ea
• full discovery of his estate shall be entitled to apply
for an order of discharge."
The Commissioner: But Ibis is • sitting for the last
examination of the bankrupte; have they filed their
accounts ?

Mr. Lowrance replied in the negative.
His Honor: Then we have nothing to do to-day bet
adjourn the examination of the bankrupts. When will

they be ready?
Mr. Joseph Hart, of the firm of Hart Brothers and
Hayles' said they would certainly be ready in a week.
He had been appointed by the Court, and had got them
nearly ready to alt.
His Honor: Ars there any assets?
. . _

ifr: ; there are upwards of £2,000 in
hand at present.
His Honor: Hare you made your report to the
Court. .

Mr. Hart: ; that will be done after the 'neonate
are corn pleted.
Nis Honor: Very 11 ell. Then let the bankrupts'
examination be adjourned and previously to the next
sitting, Mr. Lowrance had betterconsult his "limits, and
consider abet course he had bettor pursue under the
proviaions of the Act.
Mr. Lawranoe observed that he would do so, and
write to the gentlemen in the country, for whom he
attended, for further instructions. In the meantime
the Court would enlarge the bankrupts' protection.
His Honor said certainly. It had been held that the
Court had no power to withhold protection until a
bankrupt had finished his examination.
The case was then adjourned until Friday, the 28th
of Jane, at eleven o'clock.
