THE BANKRUPTCY COMMISSIONERS.
The following circular has been addressed by Lord
St. Leonard's to the Bankruptcy Commissioners :
" The Lord Chancellor wishes to direct the attention
of the Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy to the
provision in the 10th section of the Bankrupt Law Con-
solidation Act which requires the Court to sit daily for
the dispatch of business. This involves the necessity,
on the part of every Commissioner, of residence within
a convenient distance of the court; and the Lord Chan-
cellor trusts that every Commissioner will comply with
this condition.
"The Lord Chancellor also wishes to draw the atten-
tion of the Commissioners to the power given by the
11th section to the Lord Chancellor, whenever it shall
appear to him to be expedient, to order any Commis-
sioner to bold sittings at such places within the district
as the Lord Chancellor may think fit. This is a
power
which cannot be exercised without the aid of the com-
s
tnissioners themselves; the Lord Chancellor desic
therefore, that whenever a Commissioner is of opinion
inconvenience
that unnecessary delay, expense, or
ho sustained by creditors unles sittings
are held at will
other than the usual place withinL the district, some
lYt) the
and
power Commissioner
te
hold will
such
sittings;P PoarsditCishaiiniecxelpleedriefnort
that any such sittings should bo held without sufficient
cause, the Lord Chancellor directs that every such ap-
plication shall state the grounds upon which it is made.

A DENTAL CURIOSITY.—There is at present a
servant in a family at the west-end of the town, a girl about
thirteen years of age, who is in possession of a double row of
teeth in the under jaw. The two sets of teeth are beautifully
regular, but are not easily noticed unless a hearty laugh
happens. The front and inner teeth have each their fellows;
and the possessor, as may be supposed, has good masticating
powers, and feels no inconvenience from her additional stock.
