said, "W• have had eaciniked bankruptcy ; we are com-
petent to manage our own affairs, and to wind up this es-
tate ; and we will pass • resolution to that effect." No
doubt it was the intention the new act, from the cots-
meneement to the sod, to give to creditors every power,
whether they used it rightfully or wrongfully, judiciously
or unadvisedly. The crethtors now declined to go
on uuder the 185th section, but asserted their
power to take proceedings under the 110th ; and there
mold be no ground for the allegation of surprise. The
object of the creditors in taking these proceedings was to
ohms • simple, easy, and certain mode of arituicsistering
this estate, there being no question pending, and no grounds
for lingatem which would require the intervention of
the Court of Itankruptc). Toe Bank of Deposit and
the creditors of tier , Rink of Deposit had no right
of proof under this bankruptcy, or of niterfereoce with the
columns of Mr. Peter Merriam as an individual. No state
of circumstances could arise in which any depositor in that
aasocaUo• could have any right of proof, or any claim
against this estate, until all the creditors of Mr. P.
Morrison, as a private individual, were paid is fell, and
the exposer of administration also were discharged.
He bad the strongest hope that the private creditors would
receive a good dividend, but there was no probability that
there would be ant surplus for the creditors of the Bank of
Deposit, or for Mr. Morrison himself. A great deal bad been
mid about the resolution nuking an allowance to the bank. to edge
rapt ; but nothing had been taken out of the estate, or i.e a pry
from the creditors of the Bank of Deposit for that purpose. le an Os. b ,
Mr. Liaktater said that the creditors mast have been 5. 613 010110

trader the former section it would have been necessary fur --
the bankrupt to come here and give some account. By the
course sow proposed, the bankruptcy not being put
ea end to, be might come forward whenever
it was quite convenient to himself to do so, or not
at all. This was a very praiseworthy effort to shield
Mr. Morrison from the Weide of bankruptcy ; but he be.
bayed that it would prove futile. All the creditors now
voting were represented by Mr. Lewis; but their pro-
ceedinp would turn out utterly abortive. The opposing
creditors would look to those having the conduct of the pro-
(unbar to take the necomary steps for compelling the appear-
mice of Mr. Morrison at the examination meeting. At that
moment they did not know bow 111L101 he owed, and what
be had to pay it with. The assignees were frilled' of Mr.
Morrison, and the independent creditors were left in utter
darkness. It was proposed to adjourn the meeting for 14
days, and no doubt that would be done. He should be glad
to kuow when the last examination was fixed for.
