The investigation necessary for the making of this Re-
turn will occupy a very long time. If, instead of the
actual amount of debts to be ascertained by an adequate
examination of the Schedules, a Return should be made of
the totals superscribed on the Schedules by the Insolvents
themselves, even then a considerable time would be occu-
pied in the examination of so many cases, especially as in a
large portion of the first twenty thousand cases the total
sums are not given, and the process of addition must be
gone through, as to all the debts in all such cases.

But in order to give the Return required ;ith any de-
gree of accuracy, a much greater labour will be necessary.
111.—What has been the Aggregate Amount of the Divi-
dends paid upon such Debts.
The Commissioners have not the means of ascertaining
this amount.

Payment of debts of persons discharged by the Court is
made either by assignees under commissions of bankruptcy,
where by such commissions property is withdrawn from
the jurisdiction of this Court, or by insolvents themselves.
The documents existing in the Court are utterly insuf-
ficient for discovering the extent of all or any of the above
payments.

IV.—Whether any Monies remain unclaimed of such Di-
vidends, either in the hands of the Court or the Provi-

aioual Assignee, and the Aggregate Amount thereof.
No unclaimed dividends have at any time been paid into
Court or the Provisional Assignee. In a case where no
creditor will accept the office of assignee, no dividend is
made, and the funds arising in such case from the insol-
vent's estate are placed as they arise in the Bank of Eng-
land. On the 31st December last, the sum in the Bank
of England so accruing was 16,1031. 16s. 3d., and the
sum in the hands of the Provisional Assignee, through
whom all receipts and payments are made, was 3891. 19s.
7d. ; of the above amount 14,0001. are in Exchequer Bills,
the interest of which is applied, under the directions of
the Statute, in aid of the expences of the Court.
