SPOONER AND ATTWOOD'S BANK.-It is stated
that the affairs of the late bank of Attwoods, Spooner,
Marshall; and Co., of Birmingham, which stopped pi:
went on the 10th of March, with liabilities very little shor,
of £1,000,000, have within the last two months been final
closed, the creditors having received a first and final diva'
dead of lls. 3d. in the pound. It will be recollected tbst
by an unanimous vote of a large meeting of the creditors
at the Town-hall in Birmingham, it was resolved to eke
the administration of the estate out of bankruptcy, under
section 110 of the last Bankruptcy Act. The assignee'
almost immediately afterwards made a very advantageells
sale of the assets of the bank to the Birmingham Joint"
Stock Bank (limited), in consideration of the latter paYtl3s
the creditors lls. 3d. in the pound. The payment of the
dividend commenced in June, only three months after tly3
stoppage, and the whole of the creditors - nearly 5,000 ill
number—received their dividends; before the end of Sep"
tember, with the exception of a few cases where, from al;
sence or otherwise, payment is unavoidably delayed. It
stated also that although a power existed of applying t°
the Bankruptcy Court, under section 136, in case of differ'
ence or difficulty, after the administration had been taken
out of court, not a single application has been made to the
court, and, in fact, this large estate has been administerea
without any litigation. This is a good illustration of the
working of a system of administration out of court, bit„
with power to recur to the court for the aid of its strenb
arm in case of need that has been contended for.
