This was a very oldbankruptcy, the rdjudicatioa having
been made as long as 110 years ego. Some small amount,
about 4001., having come into the hands of the official assig-
nees as the result of a Chancery snit, application was made,
at a former sitting, that 1501. should be paid to Miss
Elisabeth Day, the legal representative of one of the sepa-
rate creditors; and the matter stood over in order that
inquiries might he made as to whether soy joint creditors or
their representatives were in existence.
Mr. Bagley stated that further efforts hid been made to
discover whether there were any joint creditors, but none
had bean found.

Mr. Yonge reed an affidavit, showing that steps would be
taken with a view to trace Mr. Hanle Joynds, the solicitor
under the bankruptcy, but nothing maid be learned of him
Liter than 1775. He therefore asked that so order should
be made in favour of the petitioner, Mir Day.
Order accordingly.
