COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—YwrzaDAy.
Before Mr. Coollllo44oller Shepherd.
THE SMALL DEBTS Acr.—A defendant, Hussey, was
summoned by a Mr. Allen, under the Small Debts Act, for
a certain debt and costs.—Mr. Townshend, solicitor for the
defendant, prayed for the dismissal of the summon-, on the
ground that the plaintiff did not attend in person. An
attorney attended for him.—The learned Commissioner was
of opinion that the plaintiff need not attend in person. He
attended by his attorney, and that was sufficient —This deci-
sion is quite at variance with that of the remaining five com-
missioners of this court, who rule that a plaintiff must attend
in person.—Mr. Townshend then submitted that the sum-
mons must be dismissed, inasmuch as the amount of interest
upon the debt was not stated in the particulars of demand.
It merely stated "and interest."—Contrl it was urged that
the words " and interest " meant the usual rate, viz. 5 per
cent—The learned Commissioner considered that the par-
ticulars of demand were insufficient, and dismissed the sum-
mons.—Mr. Townshend said that this was the second " ex-
perimental summons," and must apply for expenses.—Appli-
cation refused.
