COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.--JAN. 19.
IN RE CALA ERT AND CO.

A report hie impaired la the columns of a contemporary to
the effect that Menem. Calvert and Co., brewers, presented a
petition yesterday under the Bankruptcy Act for a winding-
up ardor, without the intervention of open bankruptcy. This,
hawses, was not the case. The proceeding to which no doubt
mimeo, was intended to be made was simply the tiling of the
osetilleste of the trustees or inspectors, under a deed of
arrangement, stating that sixth-sevenths in number and
valued the creditors had signed such a deed, the effect of
which would be to make the deed prima facie evidence in an
court of law or equity, and it RIM done in accordance with
the 128th clams of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act, which
Is as follows That when the trustee or inspector under
any such said memorandum of arrangement, or af there shell
be no such trustee or inspector, when any two of the creditors
shall be satisfied that six-seventbs in number and value of
the creditors whose debts amount to 101. and upwards have
signed such deed or memorandum, it shall be lawful for such
trustee or inspector, or for such two creditors, as the case may
be, to certify the Rune to the court in writing, and each cer-
tificate shall be filed with the registrar of the court, and shall
thereupon be prima facie evidence in all courts of law and
equity that such deed or memorandum of arrangement has
been so signed."
