IN TUX MATTER OF 010110 E WILLIAM! DYSON.

Thiscase, which has been several times before the court,
was beard on an application by a Mr. Cook, the purchaser
of the insolvent's surplus interest under his first iasolvency.
The debts ware about 40,0001., and the landed property was
more than sufficient to pay ell the creditors and leave •
surplus. Mr. Cook had purchased the surplus interest, sod
had bought up some of the debts inserted in the schedule
filed on the first occasion. Mr. Dyson had been discharged
under the act a second time, and attributed his appearance
to the delay in settling his •Hain. There had been someChan-
eery proceedings, and the object of the application was to
expedite matters, and to get • Battlement of the case,
which had in one shape or other in this court and in the
Court of Chancery, been dragging its length along for some
time.

The Chief Commissioner, after devoting nearly two hours
to the application, said he only took up the case on account
of the illness of the late Chief Commissioner, and it Mr.
Commisaioner Murphy would rather that he continued it,
he would read over the documents and give directions. He
thought there should be a proper investigation, and the
matter inquired into, with the view of getting it settled.
The matter might stand over for a wesk, and he would
give directions to obtain the required information, so as to
put it into a way of settlement.
The matter stood over for a week.
