En.or's" account to that of "Sober and Reser" has
been einproperly made. The secured creditors hold

amount neeli.ed is not known to the ',Shull
The I,,,,hrupt has filed at the request of the amignees an
see-usit nt,uaiog the state of the Arta of Baker and

-
Mr. Smi ~,,, do 'aid he ha 4 to apply to his Honour to
or, kr e fl• i.ncl amount . The amount filed showed a
large amount of debt., a' contracted within the short
slow of four years, duri.og which tbe bankrupt carried
all the Wain, as of on auctioneer. /Ir. Resew did an
rstr.,aiye Wooness. thr returns fr. TO the soles which he
1..11 heing about POD,'OOO year; and he now came to
11 curt to be insult mired from nobilities amounting to
Dolt' than £h.ooo. The amounts filed weie very
noagre and it did not appear in any way what he had
it. no with hn. mot ..y. The whole of the bad debt., did
not amount to fl; and if they allowed l I per cent. m
comniiodon on tk e sales. which he unden.tooil was what
the bankrupt oh' .amed, it would give an income of trout
1700 to MI a year. Not only was this got rid of,
let there wee • deficiency of about £lOOO • year in
addition. creditors whom ha represented wonted
to know how this money had been expended, ter if this
no, she en the inference was that he might Mill
h.ne the me rep in his pocket. For his own sake there.
Iv' the bar .krupt ought to file this deficiency account;
and le no, lbt say thot he (Mr. Symonila) did not make
the alnti'e ,ion without notice, becaure when he write to
lisnkriste on the nith September, stating that he should
r....1tr a atatement of the affairs of the firm of Baker
end mr at the lima of Mr. Baker's decease be aim
ii h oi it would be independent of a general deficiency
DOCOO IA; _ _ _

e mer : The amounts of the firm of
.er and Froor have been filed.

Mr. nymon.l4 : Yrs, but the :.ocounta IWO voluminous,
rind I bare not bad. as yet, sufficient tnne to enter into
Mom ; but there ;a • poi deal that will have to be said
on tlo—r accounts.

Mr. Hughes contended that the accounts filed were
amply turncoat; and be ask.-ti hi. Honour, therefore,
not to grant the application without the ease being gone
int, end evidence adduced that further amountm were
to laired and ought to Ite-fernialied.
Mr. We-ton said the trade asingnee had not had time
to tbnroeghly investigate the accounts laid before him,
▪ it would he wasting the time of the Court .if they
were to enter ..n an examination now before the deficiency
• ~tot was for the. Anold only have to go over
the same 'mond again on a tutors day.
Mr. H maw* melted that the account@ were glad with.
in the time require., by the Art and that there ban boas
plenty of tinie to itiveatigate them.
The Commissioner: For whom do you appear, Mr.
B,lnondm

: For Messrs. Foster, Mondey, aad
other creditor,. I Ind also • proof here at the last
meeting which was not put on the SW on amount of •
thirtamee as to whether Williams' bank were
jnatilied in transferring • suns of L1K1.3 from one banking
iiee mot of Esisor's to another banking mmount of
Ease's.

Mr. Hughes: Then yen
!h.. 'nen? 4116 not appear on behalf of

Mysnonds : V..; I appear on behalf of the bank
na well.

To.Comrnioer: Hare you anything further to
nue Mr. Hughes •gainst the adjournmrot.
Mr. Hughes: It is impossible to furnish fuller
amounts, of the Arm of Baker and Enver at the time of
thr desth of Mr. Baker.

The Commissioner: There is no imputation as (sr
as I understand, that the Baker and Ensor sooount is
not sufficiently foil; but only this thy, have not had
sufficient time to investigate them. You don't apply
for any,further accounts in Baker and Lagos do you.

lir. bymonds : Al present we do nut.
Mr. Ilughes : I make the application to your Honour
m grant the bankrupt his dbeharge, and I apprehend
that tt devolves on the other side to show reasons for
. .

withholding Unit, or for adjourning it.
The Commissioner: I don't think it is porrible under
acv circumstances that the bankrupt °an pas. his latt
triminetion today; and it appears to me a reasonable
application on the part of the creditors that he should file
an account of hie expenditure. There in a very huge
ainnunt of debts contracted in a short time; and no ex-
planation RS far as I own make out of what he has Inns
with the mini.o which bad come into his haul.. It lea
very unsatisfactory state of things to find that'
amonpt other debts that be has contrected, there is
a tutu of upwards of £3,000 owing for balances on
sales wht.h the bankrupt has held. This is not a
matter which phew him in a very favourable position
before the Court. and I think, therefore, that the
creditors are entitled to hare the felled accounts that
can be rendered.
_ _

The Bniikropt : That ElOOO can be exptainwL
The -Commissioner : The adjournment will give you
an opportunity of explaining it. I understand, Mr.
Wed.on, that you concur in the applioation for further
we :omit., and desire this adjournment.
Mr. Weston ; Quite no, your Honour.
The cow wag then adjourned to the 29th of November
. . . .

-it twelve o'clock. the k:nkrupt to file a deficiency 111C0311n
tell days brfure the date of such oljudginent
- Mr. thighs' applied for an Allowanse to the
basktupt for preparing the amount.
Ills Honour declined to order it, the gentlemen re.
emm ling the meditors objecting.
The Bankrupt stated that it was untrue he made I
per cent. on the proceeds of sales. AU the expenses had
to omie out of this, sod it frequently mu not more
than 4 iwr cent.
