Mr. HART stated his first application to be on
behalf of eir. Grinstead. whose Jebt of 3i,841f.
had been allowed by the former commission. and,
rejected by the present ate. The Commissioners
would give the customary notice of fourteen days
by advertisement for going to she choice of ruing- '
neer ; but in case the Pedro:Doer could get up suffi-
cient opportunity for proyiog his debt in the mean
time, it would be necessary for that appuiutweut to
be delayed.
The Vica-CuarrcaeLoa theaghtihat there would
be sufficient time for hearing the petitions in sup-
port of the debts disputed in the course of the four-
teen &yr, without invading the usual practice, or
iuterfering with the duties, of the Crounsitsiouers.
He saw nothing at present to prevent a decision on
the petitions from taking piece, and at ally rate
there would be time enough to buy the Commis-
sioners from proceeding to the appointment in
.cese no deCision were to be given till after the
expiration of the 14 days. It was objectionable, if
1101 Sedelteele. for the Court to interfere with the
dation' of Bankrupt Commissioners. The Clam-
miswoners need not be urgent about proceeding to
the appointment of assignees, which, perhaps,
would not take place till the efitli of January. If
they proceeded immediately, the choice could not
take place till the 2litli December. He directed
that the Petitions should be put down for hearing
at the top of the paper for the first petition-day...

Mr. Hogue said that, it was part of the estate,
and should be paid to the provisional amigos-es, who
must. if they did their duty. fight against these

Mr. HAXT•said, that the fact was, that the ex-
peelers of the old commission, to which she "Sign"'

Mr. HoINE wns content with this accouut of the
laying out of the money. He next wished to
know if it was likely that the order of his Honour
would be appealed against, and he thought that
the Court had a right to strict information on
that point, as he heti hearth a rumour of an
application of that nature which was to be made.
Mr. Haire had no objection to answer the ques-
tion. He did not know of any isiteritton of appeal-
ing from the order of his Honour for appointing
assignees. But of the question were put to him to-
morrow, and he saw good reason, he would advise
such an appeal. and the Court would eminend
him for an doing.
