COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-11Ancn 13.
(Before Mr. COMlllillg net, Fans.
IN ME )11.A316.—T11E WAlre MANIC.

This was an rannused examination meeting in the !Mee
Of &Ma Adams, banker, of Ware and Hertford. The
scramble have already approved.
Mr. Lowrance, for the assignees, ranted that theta were
!Mee discrepancies in the bankrupre amoral., especially
with reference to his malt business, and as these would re-
quire correction, it was portent to take an adjournment. It
we, aim the intention of the assignees to impeach a settle-
ment made by the bankrupt in December, 1864, when he re.
prorated himaelf to be advent, but the .aeigneeo had orate
to a contrary opinion. The bankrupt in him calculation bad
emitted a very large liability which he was under in the
suite of Kay v. Johann ; a decree had been made
*grand him and others in that suit fie 30,000/., which it
was supposed might be compromised for 10,0001.
Either to the amount of 10,000/. or 30,0001., the liability
existed when the settlement was muck ; and that rendered
him insolvent. The *mimes were bound to fight this net-
dement, and they could not allow the bankrupt to pm on
accoonto from which m conralerolde a liability was omitted.
Head not charter the bankrupt with any guilty participa-
tion in the money obtained from the heir h.q. Ile was
made reeriver, soil in that character had clotrawl hinted(
with payments which the heir would not rerognise ; and in
slash • case the first duty of • wart of equity am to obtain
restitution, from whatever quarter, to the piety who had been
robbed. These facia might to appear on the balance-sleet,
and probably • fortnight's rajennantent would le sufficient.
Mi. Link ter, for the bankrupt, asked for an adjournment
of three week,. There was nn imputation whatever on Mr.
Adams, an he should be able to show at the proper time.
When he made the settlement in 1844 he was befonthe world
13.000'., or, deducting hie liability in Kay r. Johnson,"
3,0301. But he denied that ha was properly liable fee •
teething in that molter.
Mr. Bagley mid he appeared fie upward,. of forty cre-
ditors, including Mr. Swarrel for 3,700/., who had incurred
mock expense in the investigation of tho a womb.. They
did not doubt the Villinguesa of the assignees to investigate
the areowits properly ; one if then, wee Mr. Elsey, of the
Bank of Englral ; but the creditors hr repeorated were of a
very different clam from the Bank of lint: and, being ehkhiy
deposilors in the brakrupt'a bunk They wished to be allowed
thoroughly to inveraipete thew amounts.
The Commissioner - What is to present them
Mr. Bagley did not antic ipole that coy °batiste would be
thrown in the way. Me Ilfiebefd to have • private eillfeillik-
tion of the bankrupt, to nee Main whether certain sevurities
given by him were valid, and to obtain materials fur the
judgment of the court on hie conduct.
The Commissioner—The proper course would be for
your clients to place the information which they have ob-
tainel before the assignoee, and if they refused to act upon
it, then to apply for the efleiefetlee Of the mart. But I
abould not fle,llllle, in the first incrance, that the assignees
would do any such thing.
Mr. Lawrence mid they had always rammed their
readiness to act no any suggestion that might he raven to
them, and to further any inquiries which the creditors might
wish to make. They knew of no al curities girta by the
bankrupt which were open to objection, except the settle-
ment he had referred to. The assignees, with the assistance
of Mr. Longinove, had been rwilieing the estate with un-
exampled rapidity; and a dividend of 4s. had been paid.
The aligner had no objection to the proposed inquiry.
Ilia Hamer again au=l that the creditor* repre-
sented by Mr. lay their cam before the
assignees, sad treZrl74 necessary, apply to the court.
Mr. Liserreases that grove questions would wise at the
certified* meeting; bat it was due to all parties not to urge
them elrageo till the proper moment. Probably some of the
creditors Y the mmntry had felt diroppointnent beratmo the
ra=led not stigmatised the bankrupt as a fraudulent
flien the time came, there would he serious charges
tortrast hint
•declined to leave the case in the hands of the
11141;111117f he creditors fur whom he rip/eared were persons
if Iseal looirledge, who could conduct the examination of the
Inahrept with prat advantage. They proposed to undertake
tike Investipition at their own expense. They were entitled
fia de this in public. at that meeting, but as a matter of am-
wraimare they would prefer • private meeting. In a case of
Ois kind, involving such iinpetrat interest to the creditors
rad the public, they hoped that this application would nut be
lediessi.
i The Clenembideser—l am not &nosed to depart from the
mad coarse, which Is that the carriage of the proceedings
I be with the pereene selected by the creditors to perform
die functions of migrant. The conducting of all moraina-
-1 none rests with them and their solicitor". If any permit
• thinks that he is in poseovion of information which may
• be useful to the amignees, it is the duty of those lemons to
eimmenloate that information to the marinas. Then, if
0 6.. riper ahouM refuse to set upon it, and if any creditor
ma elms me that there is fl no essity for nub • lin-weeding,
I &set • private meeting to be held; otherwise I should
astboillspo.4l to interfere with the usual and ordinary
muse d proceeding.
After Nome conversation the examination meeting was ad-
joarnoti till the 2nd of April, at eleven o'clock.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Gralburn.)

This was the meeting fur choice of soignee, in the (WIC of
J. F. Shaw. ironmonger, of Ilbekfrims-road.
Mx. Linklater tendered a proof fur 1,44:01. oa teholf of the
rear of the Royal British Bank, the balance duo from
the krupt on • mob credit account, and for lab diecounted.
Prods were aloe teodcred on behalf of Mr. Melrose and
Mr. Harris, directors of the London and Biraiiogham Imo
and Hardware Company (limited), of which the bankrupt
was the Managing director. It appeared that in November
lost, the bankrupt, having had ante bias returned, assigned
•Il hls property to this company for a Urge sum, of which he
I got 2,0001, in bills, and the remainder io shares .4 the com-
pany. Of the latter be had deposited 6,0004 with his tether
