,Poet the hens and incooventence that must arise
from going into a strict examination of the chief
. Steettistit the second meeting of creditors, the tune
tlicreed by law for the appoinimetit of assignees.
They were of of bbbb ion this such a wode of exer:is-
ing the jurisdiction would. contrary to the spirit
of the law, by frittering away the chino of those
whose debts were large, and would consequently
take up much time to exannite thent, f 1.07 the tip-
' ibnitissent of assignees into the tr05.t..5,04 of those
I,Nebase claims were of the least asnoul,;„

fted immediately to the choice of aasi,oieee on the
proof of debts being offered, and at tun log inquiry
into the validity of the debt till afterwtr.ls.
The Vict-CRaucaLLoa was of eioaiou :hat
there was no great principle iii the gitilatin. hand he
would refuse so to consider it. lie took it upon
the bare grotiode of the facts as they appeared
from the copy of the examination, GO4 which he
was led to believe that the Conittiwoio:iers had ex-
ercised a just and sound discretiod Ili riot allowing
Mr. Carroll to prove his debt until he irweitred their
'questions se to that concurrent and open account
which he admitted then to Odd. The resson fur
this conduct of the Cousipasimseso was at/pious.
It did not appear from any thong Sir. Carroll said,
but that he might hove brmonshesset from that col--
current recount tolsitmakollter to the estate ill an
amount us gross us that Of' the whole debt ohich he
claimed.
Mr. HORSC hoped that the Court, to save the
recurrence of pitch experiment* of ',ringing tie fitions
so wholly trrevelaut to the only quesiiiiii which could
he considered, namely, the right at appeoliii4 from
the jurisdiction of the Croutuissiourrs, would order
Mr. Carroll to pay the cows of this application.
Mr. HART thought that the ',eta oiler ought to
have trove to go back to the Couniii•sioners, and
the order to he delayed, that It alignt l:z seen whe-
ther the totem of the questions put was merely to
get ot a knowledge of the accuout tender inquiry, or
to disable Mr. Carroll from room; on the choice of
resigners, and upon that the payaieut of costs should
I depend.
The VICE-CNA NCILI,LOa said, the rule was, that
a Petitioner from a hookrupt estate could never re-
ceive bib coats. For if the case he teurlered to the

Court were a fair case, and one in which it would be
useful to have the Smite of the Court declared, the
Could would direct the expenses to be paid out of
the estate. If his case were wit a fair one, and the
application was held to be not founded in any cir-
cututtstices of justice mid necessity. he could not
expect lb have the coats of his partscolar application
paid out of the caste, Conceiving, as lie did, that
the CommisMiners exercieed a doe and kw discre-
tion, and that Mr. Carrot I had no sulficteut teasers for
appeal's; from their inquiries to the Court, he
dnichurgrd the application with costs. not intending
by any means in so doing to prejudice the right of
Mr. Ca►roll itl go again before the Commissioners,
and fulfil the proofs of his debt.
