Some eight or ten chorus Mogen were in attendance to
prove, and upon Mr. B. Fleetwood, a chorus singer, ten-
dering a proof for his last week's salary, amounting to 21,
Mr. Lawrence, the solicitor to the fiat, observed that
there was a question as to whether that proof came within
the 29th section of the 6 and 6 Vie., which directed the
payment in full to any labourer or workman. In this case
Fleetwoo4 had been teamed weekly, and there niacin be
ame doubt as to whether he was a labourer. He (Mr. L.)
was milling logic, that section the most liberal ccne•ructiun,
because there could be no doubt that its intention was to
give 'elle fto persona in humble life. His lionout's decision
would be of some importance, as there were about nanety
persons similarly cinumstanced.
His Honour said he was of opinion that they should be
paid in full. The court was crowded, and he hoped that
the chorus singers would retire.
Mr. Lawraoce-There are only about ten in c tart, but
the theatre being closed the gentlemen come here for amuse-
ment.

Ilia Honour—For want of a better, I suppled.
Mr. Lewis, for the bankrupt, said that in. balance *beet
had only been filed to-day, great difficulty having arisen in
obtaining particulars, and he had to apply for an adjourn-
ment for • month. _

Tee t Mena assignee suggested a longer period.
His Honour said that he would not fix an important meet-
ing for hearing in the long vacation.
Mr. Lawrence said that the debts were large, and it would
be better that the cam should not be disposed of summarily.
Mr. Lewis observed that all Mr. Deisfield required was to
have the matter rine into.
His Honour inquired ii there were any assets.
Mr. Lawrence replied not one shilling, but there might be
something from the subscriptions to the theatre.
Ultimately thecae* was adjourned to the 3rd of November
next.

Mr. Eversfield, of Dace park, a creditor for 5,0001., was
the peutinsing creditor.
