buildings, Shoe.lanc. He owes to nueecured cre-
ditor., 2,9`0.21. ; lubilities iiil2l. ; newts returned

charges under inspection, 7601. ; personal expenditure,
Med. ; losses on rediastiou, MOO. ; deficiency ,y, 1145 R,
TOW. The report of the official assignee calls attention to
the fact that an expense of 760/. had been incurred in an
ineffectual attempt to wind up the estate under inspection,
keying only • nominal dividend for the creditors.
Hs Honour observed that that was rather • remarkable
item. It would appear that inspection was • very expensive
male of proceedimg.

He was • large creditor, representing :mover:lor, Chaytor,
and ('o., and a party to the deed ..1 inspection.
