of throe moot* aid Mr. Froggart, attorney for the insol-
vent, informed the court that twelve out of sixteen detainers
had been settled with, and the generality of the creditors
hod :vented to the propoeition made. It was confidently
anticipated that by another adjournment the case would be
satisfactorily concluded.
On the question of adjournment it was propoeed that it
should be to September or October, hut the learned corn.
mission'r suggested that in case of a certain event which
was now pea ding happening, this court might be at that
time in great confusion. In November Mr. Commissioner

The can wu fixed for the 2nd of November, and of course
the bail enlarged.
