THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.—THE SUMMONS
AGAINST THE OFFICIAL MANAGER.

This was the day appoiated for the heariog of the sum-
move which wee greeted by Mr. Consmissiosser (halberts
os Friday last against Mr. E. P. Mardi* thee intarlat ma-
miser Noce appointed official manage* of the Royal
British Bank, who was charged with hating obstructed t►e
woes'sr of the dirt (Mr. J. 'Ousts's') in the discharge
of hia duty, sad with bating (*god him from posseuioa of
the back premises.

Mr. Linklater now appeared in rapport of the summons.
Then was no appearance en the other side, owing to an
arrangement having been eons to.
Mr. ',Anklets, said—ln the matter of :the Royal British
Bask, Mr. Commissioner Oodbern was pleased to gnat a
summons talon, upon Mr. Robert Palmer Hardier, ma
anounterit of this court, and also concocted with the Court
of Chesney, to show is... w►y he should not be orm-
mitted foR contempt of court in having abounded the mes-
senger of this court, in the discharge of his duty. Mr. Hard.
ing is not in attendance to day, considering it unnecessary,
for TIS/0111 which I will not now rate ; bet it is of course
my duty to bring the question before the nark
For the purpose of avoiding all possible contact
between the two jeriselictions—that of bankruptey

and that of Chaneery—an amassment has been made be-
tween ourselves as representing the estate in bankruptcy, and
the official manager as representing the estate in Chances)
—that the messenger shall be withdrawn from poeseesion of
the bank premises, the official manager being now ap-
pointed, and haying given such security to the Court of
Chastity, that there le no apprehension at all about his re-
sponlibility. I may further add that it le a total 'misappre-
hension to state, as has been done in some publications, that
there hes been any unseemly eontention between the
messenger of this court and Mr. Mattding. Mr. Hard.
fog is very well known to all of us in this
court, and ►t could hardly be supposed that he
intended any d Inspect whatever to this court. I am
quite sure that be is the last men to be guilty of anything
of the kind, and lam authorised to say thus much. IJader
Mess circumstance, we have consented, subject to your

Ilocoafe sanction, that the ettllMOlll shall fall to the
gonad ; the arraapinent being alao that the proceeding?
rteartly taken ia Chutney; the iejanction, the application
for whisk oru *slate, &Lail fall. The great object of

. -
both parchbeing to facilitate the administration of the
estate, of course all questions of a legal character will
remain over mail the question of the adjudication is dis-
posed of.
The Commtssioner—Tlas salmons may be dismissed;
bat as other put I say nothing about.
